Throughout Black Friday, which is the name given to the day after America celebrates Thanksgiving, eBay.com sold 3,171 Wii consoles. Interestingly, the average selling price was $349 – a full $100 above the normal High Street RRP.
Wii Fit was the second most popular purchase, with sales of 1,059, whilst Sony’s PS3 was the third best selling games item – though its average auction price of $355 is below the console’s entry-level RRP.
Other top performers in the technology sector included the 3G iPhone, which sold for $547 on average, along with the Blackberry Storm ($577), iPod Touch ($298) and Garmin Nuvi GPS ($258).
