The ultimate video game collectors' item... I hope this winds up in the hands of a serious collector who appreciates it, not just to be resold on ebay for some astronomical amount.

I don't get it, nothing new here. Just another noob who overvalues his junk.

Unfortunately I read other people's posts before I click links and I have trouble quickly reading ALL CAPS and misspellings. My brain constantly has to go over the words and sentences, "fixing" them so I can move on. All part of an OCD lifestyle.
Dude, this craigslist post is like 10,000 others out there. Not sure why it needs to be a thread of its own, but whatever.
Now I'm up to 3 minutes.

I'm with Joe. Hardly breaking news or something we don't see everyday. It belongs in the ebay section if anywhere. You'll find 100 posts or more just like it in there.

* Location: SURPRISE
I guess I'll never be able to figure out where he's located, I wonder if that Arizona are code could be used as some kind of clue.

So instead of referring to anyone who actually considers pouncing on this deal and buying it as "doofuses", should I refer to them instead as "doofii"?

Almost as funny as NCAA 2k3 for the Gamecube currently on sale at Amazon for $500 with the description "Rarest game of the past ten years!"

I started a thread for odd and funny craigslist ads last month, which you can find here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112721). Probably the most appropriate place for stuff like this, even if the element of surprise is lost.
Also, most craigslist ads don't last forever, and overpriced Genesis ads usually don't make it into the "best of craigslist," so here's a couple screencaps in case someone decides to bump this thread two years from now:
