If someone on your Christmas list wants a Nintendo Wii, you probably have already realized you have got a challenge on your hands to deliver this in-demand gift.

It is not easy to find Nintendo Wii’s at retail stores right now. Today, I randomly visited six local retailers (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, Circuit City, Sam’s Club and Ultimate Electronics). All six of the retailers were sold out and claimed it could be January before they receive additional shipments.

So how does this help you?

If you want to deliver that Wii, the best way to accomplish this goal is to pay a premium for it. This means you will pay more than the standard retail price for a Wii. Right now, you can do this on auction sites (like eBay) and on Amazon.com. Here’s a current listing of Nintendo Wii’s available as we type this entry:
