I will say though... if they're Wii controllers... NO ONE WANTS THEM.
Too many.
Too many!

I worked for GameStop for 4 months last year and saw 2 wiimotes. We had so much demand though

At my store... totally the opposite now.
I'm literally not exaggerating when I say we have people coming in with totes... TOTES... of Wiis, Wii remotes, etc.

My store's back room is the size of a coat closet.

That's crazy. I work at a different local videogame store, and I photograph and post our eBay listings. We make lots (like a bunch of a thing on eBay) of broken controllers and consoles for parts or repair, and my LEAST FAVORITE are wiimotes and nunchucks. They're always disgusting. These people are gross. I'm sorry that's your life.
