Mario Party 8 for the WII
As the title says, got this at the weekend as a late Xmas present, but not my sort of game, so up for grabs.
Would be ideal for the kids, as I had a go on Saturday and lots of games linked up with board game type game.
Looking for £25 plus a couple of quid to cover a recorded delivery. If anyone is interested let me know, PM. Just gauging if there is any interest here before I go the e-bay way....

Yep - we found this a 'bit of a disappointment' too

Wasn't so much as a disappointment, that I don't really like this type of game, much prefer the sports type game that WII do.....

...then make sure you get a copy of Mario Olympics Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
You might well get that on trade-in value at GAME/Gamestation etc and save on the hassle of ebay, esp. if you're there buying a more suitable game (I've been enjoying Ghost Squad using the Wii zapper since Chrimble - an Arcade-sourced shooter).Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Went into Game on Sat armed with the receipt, but they offered £14.00 cash - rather give it away, especially when it was bought the day before for £34.99!!
Hence thought I would see what interest is about around the £25.00 mark, which I thought was a reasonable price for a brand new game

I guess that'd be £20 as trade in. Thought 1st party (Nintendo) games were worth more.
To help sell it, I can state that my two children (8 & 6) enjoy playing this when they're not fighting each other or watching endless CBBC TV repeats.

Tried them, and Amazon, Game etc, even Argos, Tesco Asda etc ran out of idea's and certainly not paying the daft prices that are on E-bay at the moment

I hope they get stock soon - my son is pestering me everyday since i put it in my Amazon basket (when they had stock) then forgot to purchase. The next day they were out of stock and so was the rest of the world. I need to recover from this Stupid-Dad-Position that I find myself in
