My point is, these 'wholesalers' you continually refer to will receive the consoles for more than £20 due to the reasons I gave and so would NOT legitimately distribute them for less.

Sorry, but that's bollards. If they had surplus - they would simply 'put them by' and deduct the amount they didn't sell from their new orders. Simple you see, and they wouldn't lose profit. You *could* have a point saying that new, improved versions of the Xbox and PS2 have been released and therefore, retailers would want only the best. But how would that explain the cheap GameCubes?
No. Until you come up with a better reason, these seem either illegal or false and I wouldn't touch this offer with a barge pole. Others may be willing to take risks - but in my opinion, everything here's decidedly dodgy.

There's no way they'd be sold that cheap from a wholesaler. There's something extremely dodgy there.
They wouldn't be sold that cheap, not even in a wholesalers!
It doesn't work like that!
These consoles are most probably stolen and selling them at a price like that on a public internet forum is going to raise a few eyebrows.
You're trying to flog a load of stolen consoles, but little do you know that the police now have all your details as they're all plugged into this site!
Just sit there and await to be deported.
