Sam's Club Liquidating WiiU Stock? YMMV (Sub 100$/150$ prices)

[PBY]

From CAG:

Today at the Sam's Club in Fayetteville I snagged a Wii U Zelda Bundle for only $98.71! Happy Hunting!

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

 

[pretty done]

it just had to be the one store that makes you pay to be able to shop at their store right? Been looking for one at this price for DK.

 

[EloquentM]

Holy shieeet. All you people who kept saying you'd buy for <200 now is your chance to put up or shut up.

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

bad first post

 

[Busty]

Fire sale prices?

 

[Phazon]

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

Come on.


You know that's not realistic at all?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Yup.

Put up or shut up.

 

[erpg]

Aww, and I though I got a decent deal at 190 last week.

 

[StevieP]

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

That's a ridiculous statement. It (along with the 360 and ps3) may never see non clear out prices below 100 bucks. They cost more to build obviously. This is to clear stock not a sale. Consoles have changed since 2006.

 

[MormaPope]

FUCK.

That's some insanely low pricing, wish I had a Sam's membership.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I'll check my local Sams Club

 

[linkman26]

Troll harder.

Anyone know how much it is for a membership?

 

[pretty done]

Holy shieeet. All you people who kept saying you'd buy for <200 now is your chance to put up or shut up.


bad first post

you need a $100 membership to shop there anyway so membership + this makes it the normal price anyway =[

 

[bigkrev]

I guess i'll stop by on my way home tomorrow. If I can get the system plus a game for sub 130 I guess I'll do it

 

[meanspartan]

Come on.


You know that's not realistic at all?

Maybe not, but I've for a while now thought 150 is where the wii u starts moving units, not even 200.

 

[littlegrasshopper]

I saw the CAG thread a few days back. I checked my local Sam's Club and no Wii U in stock.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Well I know where I'm going once I can get my hands on my father's Sam's club card when he gets home.

 

[PsychBat!]

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

This is gonna backfire in your face.

 

[Vibranium]

Lucky people who have a membership/live in the U.S....

I wish some retailers in Canada would clear out Wii U stock...

 

[EloquentM]

you need a $100 membership to shop there anyway so membership + this makes it the normal price anyway =[

no no no no this is where you borrow a friend.

Maybe not, but I've for a while now thought 150 is where the wii u starts moving units, not even 200.

No point in moving units if you won't make a profit doing it.

 

[nelchaar]

Holy crap I would jump on that so hard.

 

[Crayons]

Unfortunately the nearest Sam's Club is in another state, otherwise I'd jump for it.

 

[Stumpokapow]

No point in moving units if you won't make a profit doing it.

But there's also no point in stocking units if you can't move them.

 

[gdt]

God damn. Thinking if I know anyone with a membership...

 

[FourMyle]

Come on.


You know that's not realistic at all?

I just don't see them moving any units at even $200-250. Most people will just get the 360/PS3 at that price and if they already have one of those they'll most likely just move onto next gen.

 

[Dead Prince]

you need a $100 membership to shop there anyway so membership + this makes it the normal price anyway =[

$45 but okay

 

[sportzhead]

This deal is pretty much dead. Very few Sam's have them in stock anymore. West Coast seems to be completely dry. Good luck fellow deal seekers.

 

[PBY]

I just don't see them moving any units at even $200-250. Most people will just get the 360/PS3 at that price and if they already have one of those they'll most likely just move onto next gen.

Yeah, I'm jumping in at 150$ (no game/barebones bundle). I know its super low, but I don't really game much anymore, and I already have a ps4.

 

[ramuh]

OMG. I would totally buy this if I had a membership. :/ I've been waiting on pulling the trigger when it got around 150. This is crazy.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

I paid around 400 bucks for my Wii U, it was worth every cent.

Still, great price I hope a lot of Gaffers get some and join the Wii U threads.

 

[meanspartan]

I just don't see them moving any units at even $200-250. Most people will just get the 360/PS3 at that price and if they already have one of those they'll most likely just move onto next gen.

Agreed. I think 150 is the magic number.

 

[Toki767]

Wish I had a Sam's Club nearby. Only stuck with Costco. I could see one Sam's Club doing something like this with the Xbox One eventually and everyone would freak out though.

 

[EloquentM]

But there's also no point in stocking units if you can't move them.

It's a never ending loop of disarray for Nintendo, stump. Firing iwata might fix this and wii u sales, and global warming.

 

[littlegrasshopper]

For people who do not have a membership. You can get a full refund on your membership if you ask for a refund before the day it expires. It was written in the CAG thread by a Sam's Club employee.

 

[Iorv3th]

I will ask my boss to check this for me the next time they go. Hope its still in effect/stock then.

 

[Coffee Dog]

This price is worth Wonderful 101 and Tropical Freeze alone.

 

[Neoxon]

This is the base price that the Wii U needs to be at.

Again, the 3DS family exists.

If the Wii U were to go down to the 100's, the 3DS family would need a major price drop.

 

[AstroNut325]

I said I would bite for $150. I will live up to that promise. I will check the local Sams.

 

[meanspartan]

No point in moving units if you won't make a profit doing it.

How about taking the loss to build install base so people actually buy your games.

 

[Saren is Bad]

Don't get your hopes up. Sams Club deals are ridiculously YMMV.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Still too high.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice price.

 

[ampere]

Damn!

Would buy one immediately at that price. I'm already prepared to drop twice that to get it for Smash.

 

[Gusto]

Yup they sold out of them here for $98. I tried to snag em up.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Would someone be able to get one for me? I'll pay the cost plus shipping and a little extra for your trouble. PM me thanks.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Still too high.

I was waiting for this

 

[SteveO1683]

I'd buy a second one for a streaming video device and backup U pad at that price.

 

[StevieP]

How about taking the loss to build install base so people actually buy your games.

You should see Sony's financials over the course of the previous generation, and then make the losses even higher on the balance sheet for the ridiculousness being proposed here.

 

[RagnarokX]

How about taking the loss to build install base so people actually buy your games.

They were already doing that at $350. You think taking a $200+ loss per console is realistic?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Where are you located?
