Buying a Wii


I am walking in a store... this is what I was thinking... Too bad I'm not going anywhere for holidays and most of my friends will be out of town...
Can I go somewhere not paying fortune over tickets.. nah... does not seem to be possible. Oh well.... what's that? an advertisement for "Nintendo Wii for $250 limited stock on hand"...
I don't play video games much... let me find out... store employee says they don't have any in the stock but might get some on Friday morning. That's too much I think.. it's easier to buy online.
I come home and search online for Wii.. it is not available anymore.. not for affordable prices anyway... Let me get up at 7am on Friday and give a shot.
I get up and call store...
Me: Did you get any Wii's?
Response: Yes we got some but they're all gone.
Another store.. same response... and another.. same response.

Well, let me give a last shot- call one last shop. The answer there is "yes sir, we've few". Five minutes later, I'm in the shop. And five more minutes, I'm a proud and happy Wii owner.... something to cheer about finally:)
