A Golden Wii Made For Queen Elizabeth II Is Now For Sale

In 2009, as part of a promotion for the Wii title Big Family Games , the game's publisher THQ created a Wii made of solid gold and presented it to Queen Elizabeth II.
It seems that Queen Elizabeth II never received the solid gold Wii, and the golden Wii eventually ended up in the hands of Donny Fillerup, who runs the game console database site Consolevariations.com and is himself a game collector.
Fillerup is putting the gold Wii up for auction on eBay for $300,000 to 'take the first step in a new life.'

This is a pure gold Wii.
The shining golden 'Nintendo' logo.
The power and reset buttons are also golden.
The bottom looks like this, and although it looks like mint condition, the label on the console has faded, indicating that it is old. In the notes section on the condition of the item on eBay, it states, 'There are traces of the red cloth that THQ used for the display on the bottom, which is a nostalgic part of this console.' Although there is some wear in some areas, it is perfectly fine to use as a console.
Here's what the Wii remote looks like by itself. Is it heavy because it's made of pure gold?
The back is also pure gold.
The seller, Fillerup, says he has documents and emails that prove that this pure gold Wii is genuine. In addition, he has revealed that Consolevariations.com will be issuing a separate certification that proves that the pure gold Wii is genuine based on the serial number and signature. All of these 'documents that prove that the pure gold Wii is genuine' will be sent to the successful bidder. The username of the pure gold Wii appears to be 'THQ', the creator, rather than 'Queen Elizabeth II' as was supposed to be the recipient.
Please note that if you win a pure gold Wii, additional shipping fees will be required.
