just go to your local craigslist
www.craigslist.com
and select your town

it's AMAZING how many of them are NEW IN THE BOX!!!?!?!?

there's 142 listed in my town!

i always ask them "do you have a receipt, in case i have a problem?"

that shuts them up

ask yourself this, is it easy for you to go out with a few hundred in pocket, to a location chosen by the unknown seller, where he waits for you, a few of his thug friends hidden... decides they can take you, and lump ya up for the cash they know you are holding to buy a nonexistant wii ?

It does sound like a person could go from getting a deal on a "Wii" to getting an "I" got ripped off.

Go hang out at the old Water Market in Chicago, in a Large Car, or make a trip in one to Hunts Point in the Bronx. Man I used to get all kinds of offers, to brand new in a box whatever. They would run up to your truck waving a brand new box all neatly shrink wrapped. The key word is shrink I would take the box, and stab my 10 inch buck knife into the center of it. They would hit the street running cause they would have a block of wood in the box for weight.
