As I see it, people buying from resellers are paying more simply for the ease of getting what they want. They don't have to do the work of finding the product they desire. If people have money to throw away like that, that's their business.
Personally, I didn't find it too hard to do the legwork required to find a Wii. We made a few calls to find out when freight arrived at the various retailers in our area, and asked when we could expect them to get new Wiis. Then we called the moment the store opened on the day their freight came to see if they had gotten the Wiis as expected. Sure enough, one Sunday morning about a week after we started looking seriously, Kmart had one in stock, and we went to get it. Yes, it took time and effort, but not that much. It really was not that hard to do.
But I know plenty of people who want what they want and want it RIGHT NOW, and those are the people who buy from resellers. I'm a bit more willing to have patience.
