Hello again, robots. I've come to you today to make you an offer. Sadly, times are tough in the land of Ashley, and in an effort to scrape together some cash for an operation that my car desperately needs, I have decided to sell my beloved Nintendo Wii. It's the current-gen console that is worth the most, and I have access to another Wii where I am currently living, so I won't be without one.. still, it was the first console I ever bought all by myself, and the one I play the most currently, so it means a lot to me that it goes to a loving home where it is appreciated for more than just Wii Sports. Which is why I'm here peddling my wares before dropping it off in the frightening hands of internet auctioning.
Ideally, I'd like to get $350 for the whole she-bang, but I'm willing to negotiate or add in little extras to make it worth your money (throwing in one or two of the games shown). As of right now, this is what you will be getting:
- One (1) Nintendo Wii console, lovingly dubbed Audrey III, nearly two years old, kept in pristine condition in a smokeless home, polished every week. And I touched it! That makes it worth something, right?
- Two (2) Wii controllers, though I really hate to give up my extra, I know it sucks to only have one. I have no use for wrist straps, so they are strapless; handle these with care.
- Two (2) Nunchuk attachments, so no controller will be left out (only one pictured because I'm just terribly disorganized and need to dig through things much more thoroughly in a bit to locate it)
- All the shit that's required to plug in and connect a Wii to a television.
- One (1) box!
- One (1) disc of Wii Sports (see Nunchuk comment)
I also have the following channels that I will leave on the console, just for you!:
Internet Channel
Super Mario 64
Gunstar Heroes
Kirby's Adventure
Link to the Past
Lost Winds
Dr. Mario Online RX
If you don't like any of those, you can remove them yourself, but I think they add to my Wii's charm and overall value.
Additionally, I do have some duplicate games, all like new, that I will sell separately (prices negotiable because I don't know how to sell shit):
Wii Play (another thing that's packed up in a box somewhere in another dimension, but I know it's somewhere!)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Metal Slug Anthology
Resident Evil 4
Boom Blox
Zack and Wiki
Don't feel bad if you have to pass it up, I can very easily sell it on eBay at a much higher price.. but I just wanted to see if anyone here was interested first, because I trust y'all to be good to her. Comment or PM or send me a carrier pigeon if you would like to discuss things and maybe give me money!
Footnote: I also have a 8 GB iPod Nano for sale, but I don't care about it as much. Still, maybe one of yous guys is interested in that also! I can fill it with video game music for you to sweeten that deal.
err..i mean
"no' enuf cash!"
Unfortunately I already own a Wii and all the accessories and games I need, so I can't really justify buying Audrey III or any of the swag that comes with her. I'll do some more Mr. Saturn drawings though, in the hopes that will brighten up this sad occasion.
Sorry to hear that you've fallen on hard times, Ashley. You know, I could use some cash -- maybe I should start selling some of my stuff as well. Either way, I apologize that I can't help you. Not only do I not have the money to spare for a Wii; even if I did, I wouldn't buy one.
Sorry to hear about the hard times. I think everyone is; the economy is fucking shit.
@Sharpless: I'll meet you in the middle with a lock of my hair.
@VampireChrist: I know I could, but I wanted to give all the nice people here a good price!
@Cowzilla: I would have felt bad to jack up the price much higher -- I'm a really generous person who has no business selling things. I see them on eBay for $400+ and I just feel that's way too much. If all the games were included though, I'd feel justified to ask for more, but I know not many people are Wii-less, so I separated them.
Not really. I just needed some material with which to clone Ms. Davis. Besides, you don't want to know what I'd ask you to include.
@Ashley
Sweetness! Even better. You have my sympathies, by the way. I'm been out of work for a looong time and money has not been coming easy. Sadly, I don't really have much of value to sell, except for my computer and my Xbox (of the not-360 variety), and I could never part with the two things that help keep me sane. Anyway, I hope this all sells well for you. I'd buy it myself, if I could.
But seriously, you know what you should do? Do some cheapo commissioned artwork for Dtoid members! $20 gets you drawn in Ashley Davis style and we know we're helping someone on the site that we like! I'd buy two!
I thought about selling art too, but didn't know how much to ask for it, or who would be interested. Perhaps I will come back to that idea..
And, yay! The iPod is actually brand-spankin' new, I only bought it three weeks ago, before all this mess happened.. and now it's too late to return it to the store. I'd like $160 for it, but that's negotiable as well.
@Dtomek: See, that's how I was expecting everyone to react. That's why I offered to include another game or two to the person who wanted to buy the console. Just the Wii alone, no extra controller, no extra controller attachments, are going for $350-$400 on eBay auctions, which is silly, but I guess they are a little harder to come by than the competition. My other option was to sell my 360, but I only would have got around $150 for it, which is just ridiculous considering how much I spent on it.
Sorry to hear about your problems. I hope all is well soon. I'd buy Zack and Wiki off of you if I hadn't just got a new copy through GOOZEX today (no lie!). I hope you find someone on Ebay to buy this for 500.
It's funny, because I'm back on the hunt for a Wii, as a friend of mine in Las Vegas is in desperate need for one. Thing is, they want it new, or else I'd take this off your hands in a second.
Good luck and happy selling!
The Wii... if you still have it in a couple of weeks, let me know, but I have to move at the end of the month, so I better make sure I'm safe first ;D
I'm proposing a trade.
...maybe i could start harvesting hobos again. hobo blood is high in vitamin Whiskey after all!

Also, Ashley Davis art commissions. Do that. And start learning your furry pr0ns because that's where the money is at.
