Ah, can you smell that? That's the sweet, sweet aroma of a thousand eBay scalpers' plans going up in smoke. Yep, it looks like the bubble has well and truly burst for those hoping to make fat profits from the Wii on eBay, at least here in the UK. Scottish tabloid The Daily Record reports that the consoles are now going for as little as £147 ($290) on the auction site, a full £33 below the retail price.A heart-warming bit of news for sure, though those Brits who drove/caught the train/swam to France may be regretting their decision now.

I'm gonna assume that this is because no one wants to pay a ridiculous premium for a console that probably won't make it to them by Christmas anyway.
If that is the case, then Dec. 17 was probably the high point of WiiBaying.
