So when Black Friday came along, my mom had tasked me with getting a deal on a Wii for her, for Paul, for Xmas. So, when Friday came, the best deal I could find was a Wii system, 1 extra Wiimote, and the game New Super Mario Bros. for $250. ($200 after Bing cash back, which is already in my account) I was happy with the deal, because you are in essence, saving $90. Now, there was a bit of an ulterior motive with my purchase as well. I wanted that game. Badly. So, after I got the package, I called her up. Explained the deal and what I got, and offered to trade her an extra nunchuck controller (Since they were going to get 2 Wiimotes, and only 1 Nunchuck) for the Mario game. She knew Paul would have no interest in that game, and this way they could get more value out of what I was offering. She agreed, which totally thrilled me, and I'm glad to say both parties got to benefit out of this. They get the needed controllers for both of them, and still saved $60 off of the retail price, and I get a game I really wanted at what is basically, a $20 cost. I've already got an order in for a new wireless nunchuck to replace that one. Vrry happy :)
