The Wii and Unique Bid Aucion Sites

If you're not a hermit living somewhere in the mountains in a cave then you've heard of the Nintendo Wii.  Despite its lack of availability during the holiday seasons it is a top-selling gaming console.  It's especially popular for young kids and older adults as it offers a way to get  increased physical activity in addition to entertainment.

You think I'm kidding about getting your exercise?  "How?", you ask?  Easy, the controllers are wireless and require you to move them around in order to make actions in the game happen.  There are games such as bowling, track and field and trampoline jumping all of which require you to make body movements to control the game.  It beats the heck out of sitting on the couch with only your fingers moving.  Seriously, you must perform the actions just like you would in real-life.  They already have a bunch of games available and more are on the way.  I also like the Wii Fit which helps you monitor your physical health.

Finding a cheap ninteno wii can be challenging.  As stated above they are sometimes hard to find at any price.  Try as you might to find one at Walmart where you'll pay full price but why not try a unique bid auction site?  There are a couple out there but I personally like www.auctions4acause.com because they donate a portion of their proceeds to charity. 

So how do you go about getting one of these gaming consoles for less than 10 bucks?  The unique bid auction site I mentioned above lets you make a single bid for $9.94.You can visit the site noted above and bid on one for $9.94.  That means that you could win that item for literally pennies on the dollar.  Even if it took 6 bids you could get one for less than $60.

Anyway, more about the console itself.  The only real con is that it is not High Definition and as a result pales a bit in comparision to the other popular gaming systems.  I feel like I'm not taking advantage of my widescreen, Hi Def set.
