Despite the economic downturn, tech toys like the Kindle and Nintendo Wii have sold out online and in stores across the country. Even with a 50 percent increase in Wii shipments [1], there's still a major shortage, with retailers like Wal-Mart resorting to a one-per-person purchasing cap limit [2].

In desperate need of a Wii this holiday season? Sites like eBay are offering the little white console for two-thirds more [3] than you would pay at stores like Best Buy or Wal-mart — for a grand total of $310 for a new unit on eBay and $365 on Amazon. How does that make you feel?
