*Amazon.com Update* On Thursday, March 13 I got a call from Amazon.com letting me know they would no longer provide me tracking information for how many people have used this little trick. Bummer... but no big deal. The method still works! I just can't see how many of you it works for. Since I won't be updating the count any more I figured I'd give one last total. These are *confirmed shipped* Wiis using this method. As of March 13, 2008 There are 4,900 confirmed shipped Wii's for people like you using this exact method! Congratulations to everyone who's used this to get their Wii.

If you're trying to get your hands on a Nintendo Wii you already know it's not easy. So if it's so hard, how do all those Wii's end up on eBay?

Check it out... there are eBay "wiisellers" that have sold hundreds of Wii's at huge markups to suckers just like you. But it's only because you don't know their secret.

So before you go any further you need to know their secret. It's so easy you'll kick yourself for not discovering this earlier. But in the next 10 minutes you'll join the few that know how to snatch them up at cost and pay zero shipping and no tax.

But first...

My name is Matt Harward. To wiisellers I am known as squark192 and I created the original wiiseller automated robot for the internet.

Just a few paragraphs ago I told you there are wiisellers on eBay that have sold hundreds of Wiis since the launch several months ago. Well, I'm the guy behind many of those resellers that makes sure they are the first ones to get their Wiis when they come in stock on the internet.

To be honest, I laugh when I read all the message boards online with whiners complaining because the wiisellers buy up all the Wii consoles before the "real" gamers can buy any. Waaah, waaaah! Gimme' a break!

You want one? You'd better have some smokin' fast robot software to get it for you... because you're competing against thousands of other buyers every time a retailer gets them in stock. Good luck... because you're just playing the lottery. And you'll lose.

Well, unless you know the secret to being first in line EVERY time. And here's a hint... it's not luck. It's technology. Get used to it.

So far using the unfair edge I created last November I've sold... are you ready for this... 3,254 Nintendo Wiis. And I've made tens of thousands of dollars in the process.

Check out these screenshots from my online account. The first one shows the numbers of units I've sold and the second shows my total sales and earnings. (These screenshots were taken in September, so they're a little lower than my current numbers... they're impressive either way).

Not to toot my own horn... but that's pretty darn impressive. In fact, I don't know anyone who's sold more than me. They may be out there somewhere... but I don't know them.

So why am I giving my secret away?

Two reasons, actually. First, I just finished a new software program that I want to focus my efforts on. I simply don't have the time to keep up with my super secret Wii grabber software. There are a handful of competitors out there now, and I'm just not up for the competition. Eventually they'll catch up to me... but not yet.

The other reason is more practical. Amazon.com finally figured out what I was doing and changed their ordering policies. A lot of people were upset with Amazon.com because the "wiisellers" were magically getting almost all the order. So just a few weeks ago Amazon.com finally changed their Wii ordering policies to shut down the big wiisellers. Bad news for me... but great for you.

So I figured I'd go out with a bang and let some of my secrets out of the bag before I go. You can thank me later...

Enjoy!

The easiest way to show you what I do is to watch this 10 minutes YouTube video I just made. It will explain everything and walk you through step-by-step how my system works.

When you're done with the video you can be up and running in about 30 seconds... maybe a few minutes longer if you need to set up your Amazon.com account first.

When getting a Wii online the key to the whole thing is speed, speed, and more speed. That's why I use AZ Grabber and it's also why it's important to have your Amazon.com account already set up.

It's really easy to do. Go to Amazon.com and either create a new account or log into your existing one. The easiest way to make sure everything is set up is to go to "Your Account" and then click on "View or change your 1-Click settings".

With 1-Click set up you can order as fast as possible. If 1-Click is available for the Wii (currently it isn't) you can just click that when it comes in stock and be done within 10 seconds of them being in stock. Even if 1-Click isn't available you're still ready for a super fast order because Amazon.com already has all your ordering information ready to go. You'll be able to checkout very fast... usually in less than 30 seconds.

Do NOT skip this step! Speed is very, very important if you want to beat everyone else. Take every advantage you can get.

The second step is the easiest. All you have to do is click here to go to the secret Wii website I use.

In AZ Grabber click the down arrow on the "Quick Add Products" button. Select Nintendo Wii and then click "Save My Watch List". Now everytime you go to AZGrabber.com on this computer it will remember that you want a Wii.

This next step is VERY important! You must click the "Test Notification" button to make sure everything is working!

The most common problem you'll have is that your browser will try and stop the Wii page from appearing when it is in stock. You MUST set your browser/popup blocker to allow popups from AZGrabber.com. There are no other popups on this site (there's no sneaky advertising)... it just needs to open the Amazon.com Wii page so you can order quickly.

Make SURE this is set up properly! It is the biggest reason you might fail to get a Wii.

Also, when you test the notification make sure your volume is appropriate and you can hear and recognize the alarm when it sounds. This may sound silly... but you need to be able to react quickly when the alarm goes off.

Now the only thing left to do is wait for Amazon.com to get the Wii in stock. There is no rhyme or reason to this. I have noticed, however, that Thursdays and Fridays seem to be particularly good days for this. But you should always be watching for it.

*UPDATE 11/30/07* The holidays seem to be changing when the Wiis are available. I don't know when it will go back to normal, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern right now for when they come in stock. So make sure and keep AZGrabber.com up in your browser all day every day. I'll keep you updated if I notice that changes.

Just leave your web browser running in the background. You can go on doing whatever you normally do. Just remember that if you don't have a web browser with www.azgrabber.com loaded it WILL NOT WORK. I even had it set as my home page to make sure I remembered to have it running.

When the alarm sounds rush to your computer and the Wii product page should be displayed in your browser. Order it! And CHECK OUT! Don't wait around shopping for accessories and games... Amazon.com will sell your Wii out from under you while you're waiting. If you want to keep shopping make sure and finish your Wii purchase and THEN shop around.

*UPDATE 11/30/07* I just got 2 more using this method... the first time I have personally used it again since I originally posted this method last month (I have 2 sisters that want them for Christmas). Amazon.com seems to be releasing them in batches of just a few at a time instead of all at once right now. That means don't get discouraged if the alarm sounds and it shows nothing in stock. Your alarm will keep sounding every 10 or 20 seconds as Amazon releases a few more. I can understand why they're doing it that way, but it does mean you'll have to refresh a few times before it allows you to order. It's not a big deal... just don't give up if the alarm goes off and it looks like there aren't any left. You've almost always got at least 5 minutes to get one... they don't go instantly. Remember... refresh a few times and have some patience. When I got mine today it was about 2 minutes after the alarm sounded that it finally showed in stock and I could order (then it showed in stock 3 times in a row). Here's the most important thing to remember... because the software is actually checking Amazon.com's inventory (not its website), the software is MORE accurate than the Amazon.com product page. Weird, huh?

That was easy... eh?

Good luck... now that you know the secret the pros use! When you get one let me know in the comments below.

*CRITICAL UPDATE 12/11/07* Over the past 2 weeks I have received several reports of people who don't get notified when the Wii is in stock. I haven't figured out what is causing some browsers to miss it. It appears to be a browser issue, though and *most* users won't have a problem (561 Wiis just last week prove that). If you are concerned or haven't been notified the last 2 weeks you can download the professional AZ Grabber free by clicking here. This is more powerful and doesn't run in your browser. It will NOT work on a Mac. Download it and run the setup program. There are instructions included. You can uninstall it just like a regular Windows program.
