SAME EXACT PROBLEM
heres my wii story...
ok, one monday my dad offered to get me a wii, so we drove to the nearest wal-mart(in sylva). come to find out they had non ein stock. so we had an employee call wal-marts in maggie valley, waynesville, and franklin. none of them had a wii either.( we also tried a k-mart, they didnt have it)
the next day we drive to asheville(about 50 miles). i was almost positive i would get a wii that day. we checked 2 best buys,wal-marts, 2 targets, 3 gamestops, a circuit city, an fye, a sams club, a sears, and an unnamed video game store to no avail. NOBODY HAD A WII. the lady working in the fye said 7 other ppl had asked for wiis that day(this was only at 2 in the afternoon)
so i had given up hope. however, an employee in one of the wal-marts said they would be getting a shipment in the next day, wednesday at 2.
so wednesday we called and called to make sure they didnt sell one of the wiis in the shipment. finally, at about 2:05, the lady told us they had 3 in the back. so we asked her if she could hold one for us. she said she couldnt because someone else had asked that and never showed up.
her manager said the same thing, despite our offering to pay for it in advance or give our credit card number.
however, the asset manager of that store said she would hold one for us. then she checked around and located some wiis at the wal-marts in waynesville, saving us a longer drive.
if it wasnt for that lady who went above and beyond, i still wouldnt have one.
so my advice to you is to call around and keep searching. and ALWAYS ask for their shipment date.
you'll get one
