Does Amazon sell good CIB consoles???

Not sure if this is the right category...I'm wanting to buy a Wii off of Amazon via their warehouse deals.  Does anyone know if Amazon sells good complete-in-box consoles in good condition?  Does Amazon have a good reputation for that sort of thing?  If anyone knows or has experience doing this, I would like to hear their story.

    My experience with buying from Warehouse Deals is that their descriptions are right about 85% of the time. I've never actually purchased a console from them but I would expect similar results. All of the games I've bought (20+) have worked without issue.



    One thing to note is that they put these incredibly annoying stickers on the games that are crazy hard to remove cleanly. Not sure if they do the same for systems but it's possible.



    If the price is significantly below what you'd pay elsewhere I'd say go for it. If they described it incorrectly you can probably call them and tell them to ship you one in better shape. I'm sure they'd have more than one complete Wii.

    I have noticed their games always have decent labels on them, and only one I bought from them had an extra sticker.

    Hmm, interesting.

    Well here are most of the games I've bought from Warehouse Deals.



    I guess it varies by system, I haven't purchased much besides Wii games from them.

    That's a big difference...I buy mainly N64 and SNES carts from warehouse deals, and that would be why my labels are in good shape, lol.  I haven't bought disc based games on there yet.

    Not trying to discourage you from using Amazon, but I really like that on ebay alot of people take a pic of what they're selling. You can see if it's in good shape that way.
