That money could've bought a real Wii, with a box. All I have to say is that I hope these people don't breed.

In his defense... he made an effort to make it "pretty" obvious this was an empty box.

I have finally realized all the humor behind these injuries, scams, crimes, etc.

x''D this is by far the best auction scam ever. even though i must say that it doesnt seem to be a scam at all. just look at the description. it says it is just the box.

I hope the "scammer" gets all $427 + $20 shipping and is not forced to return a dime. 23 bids on a BOX and out of all them, no one seemed to notice its a BOX with nothing. We can only hope these people will be $447 poorer for being stupid.

Big black letters: This is for the box only, not the system. Come on, this buyer is.a.dumbass seller deserves every penny. He made it more than obvious.

No need to worry. Here in Turkey, Wii sells for 570$ because of taxes. And so, noone can buy any Wii. Come to Turkey to buy Wii if you can't find around :)

To the guy who said you woudld put a stop on your payment card - you couldnt! He is selling the item exactly as described - you would loose a chargeback case. How about the mug who paid £225 for a sheet of paper? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230059462301
