Hello.

I have a hard modded Korean, Nintendo wii, that I don't really use.

anyone wanna make an offer?

It has
two controllers,
the wii fit board.
1 nun chuck thing,
and 1 old school controller thing.

anyone interested?

I have a few months to sell it, or I can take it home, so please don't low ball me with stupid offers.

thanks

How old?
did you get it with a USB hard drive loaded with games?

[Zach with a Z]

I got it last year, about this time.

I didnt get a hard drive loaded with games.. cuz my game dude guy said it was "impossible"... I have "back ups" of various games... good games. Not like the 300 garbage games they give you on the hard drive. I've ran games off a USB hard drive and off CD roms, both fine.

I've got mario kart, new super mario, punch out, metroid, mario galaxy, et cetera.

i sold your setup, plus a 120gb hard drive with games, a gamecube controller, an extra nunchuk, but no balance board for 310,000.

i'd expect you might get around 250,000 or maybe a bit less without the hard drive (which has other uses once one tires of the wii). i definitely took a loss on my sale...wiis don't retain their value much unfortunately.

Yeah, personally I'm saving my money for a ps3, but i'd get a wii if it was cheap enough, just to kill time. I know its not much, but i'd pay 150,000 for it. I don't expect you to take it, but the offers out there, like i said, I'm not really looking for one but if you really want to get rid of it...

A modded wii on Craigslist went for 270k the other day with 20 games and a butt load of accessories...

Lotte Mart sell Wii's new for 180k now and a soft mod can be done for free by anyone if they're looking to play games from their hard drive.

Because it has the Wii Fit board, I'd only go to 150k max without games but thats just me...other may, and probably will, disagree.

My offer would obviously increase depending on the number of games available

[nukeday]

haha,in the OP's defense (sorry that it seems like i started a lowball war...i didnt mean to), a lot of lay people will not be able to mod their own wii - they'd have to pay someone to do it.

150k is a quite a lowball offer. he probably spent over 300k (at current new wii prices) on it if you consider how much those peripherals cost - plus a couple thousand won for each burned disc he has.

I've only based my valuation based on current RRP and what comes with it and also what I was bidding on on Craigslist, as I mentioned earlier I missed out on a modded Wii with a shedload of extras that went for 100k extra (missed out not cos of a lowball bid, just a slightly late offer)

I haven't meant my offer to offend anyone who considers it to be a lowball offer, it was never intended to be.

I just picked up a brand new modded Wii with a 250GB external for around 350k. Box was only opened to mod the console. and it came with a bunch of good games. However, I got it in Songtan so the prices there are slightly higher than Yongsan.

[Zach with a Z]

I've got 2 controllers, 1 of the nunchuck things and the classic controller.

I don't really see how back up copies of games should factor into a price... they are free, so long as you download them.

150 does seem a bit low, I am not in a hurry to sell. Its just sitting in my apartment and I thought I'd just check to see if anyone was interested in it.

I got the hard mod, cuz when I got the Korean wii, a soft mod wanst worth the hassle (possible bricking)

when I looked at one of those hard drive full of games it had 1/3 japanese, 1/3 korean and then 1/3 English. Of the English games there was a bunch of crap.

but to each his own.

just message me if your interested.

and yeah, like I said 150 is a bit to low, since I am not in a hurry I'll just wait.

thanks

I am pretty sure you can use an hard drive so long as its formated to the format it needs.

external hard drives are easy to find and get and are a variety of prices. I don't really see any point including one, since it doesn't come with the wii and has use outside of the wii. ie; I am going to put movies and stuff on mine.

[nukeday]

most HDs will work for the wii. there is a list posted somewhere of which ones are incompatible. to be hoenst, 300 GB is too big of a hard drive for the wii. there simply aren't that many good games. I'd go 125 gb max. That would net you almost every game with a metacritic score of 85 or above, and you could always delete games and add on new ones later.
