The Days of Wii and Roses.

So the desire for Wii’s this xmas season are effing crazy! My neighbor asked if I would keep an eye out for a Wii for his daughter so I set out to keep a watchful eye over the interwebs. Knowing that only luck would find me in a store when they just happened to release the 12 units of stock they got for that month, I subscribed to a few RSS feeds and even built my own feed reader and eventually got in on a Wii from Amazon about a week ago. It’s in hand and my neighbor couldn’t be happier. (I hope my neighbor’s daughter doesn’t read my blog)

Well, news travels fast on my small woodland street and soon everyone wanted help. The simple fact is that I got lucky with the first one and have yet to be quick enough to get another… despite the several alerts sounding on my work computer when one appears in online inventory.

That said – I still have a few people that desperately “NEED” a Wii and as of this post, there’s still time to get one from Amazon if you’ll pay for the overnight shipping. I’m going to share with you the best tool I’ve found for Amazon stock notifications: http://www.azgrabber.com/

Go there. Quick add Wii. Stare at your screen for hours on end hoping that it pops and and that when it does we are all quick enough to get in on the goodness.

And if you’re reading this with hopes of using the information to buy one and resell it at some ludicrous price to make a profit off some poor sap that just wants to make his kids happy, then fuck you. You are everything that is wrong with the holiday season.

Happy Holidays and Good Luck.
