I can't believe how many assholes are out there posting these ads. Sad part is, I'm sure they can get tons of people without any know how, who are willing to pay 200 bucks to get a few hundred free games and the mod done for them.

You can download full rom collections for all the classic systems on torrent sites for free.

I have a PS2 slim for sale the power button is missing you have to use a paper clip to turn it on but it works fine can show you! call XXX XXX XXXX.

[mobiusclimber]

This must be worth $300 since the poster used the word "rare" in the title: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/vgm/1545231211.html

REMEMBER, NO LOWBALLING! It's definitely worth well over $300, and he has no intention of splitting it up, just in case you really really wanted a copy of "Hydro Thunder" for whatever insane amount he thinks that incredibly rare game is worth.

Or how about this guy: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/vgm/1545378751.html

If you don't like his prices, just go to Ebay... where half those games are going for 50% less than his prices.

Proof: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/vgm/1545286028.html

I'm mostly looking at the NES games. I think one can get away with maybe $15 for SMB3, but calling it rare so that you can mark it up is pretty idiotic, it's only the 2nd most common cart I've come across.

I was going to say that it might be worth trying if you're looking for it, but really, if you're looking for it, then you're also looking for a system. I don't remember the last time I found an NES lot on CL that didn't have that game.

[mobiusclimber]

The game I always end up getting with NES lots is Top Gun. Seriously.

[Gameguy]

I just got a reply to one of my ads. I'll just quote it. The game he's asking for I priced at $5.


hello I am interested in your video games. However, I live in Brandon Manitoba, Canada and would require you to mail me your mechwarrior 2 game if you're interested in giving me the mechwarrior 2 game, the reason I'm asking you for the game outright is because I am a disabled person and unable to pay for it. As I'm stuck on social assistance and have no money.
Sincerest wishes for 2010.
Scotty

[BetaWolf47]

Hahahah, as if you can't figure out that he wouldn't be on CL if he was a disabled person with no money.

[tubeway]

Wasn't there someone using that same excuse a while back?

Also, like other kinds of spammers, I'm betting Scotty uses volume to make it worth his while. He probably spams dozens of postings per day, targeting the really cheap games that people might shrug off and mail out for free.

Looking for a sugar daddy

Looking to get pampered by someone. Some who wants to share my company and in return will shower me in gifts. Things I am willing to do spend time, converse, have coffee, go for walks, general companionship, excercise, play board games with, go to events with, run small errands, cooking, cleaning. Things I am not willing to do, have any physical contact with, the odd hug or whatever is okay, engage in an illegal activityof any sort, except maybe smoke a some reefer lol. Thats about it. A bit about me... I am a not single white female, 24 years old, unemployed, somewhat attractive, could use some excercise, educated, I don't have children, I am unemployed, thats about it. Drop me a line if interested.

[portnoyd]

I like how she basically admits that she's ugly. "Somewhat attractive, could use some exercise" when you're trying to sell yourself means you're egg shaped and are butt ugly.

[mobiusclimber]

What I like better is how she says she's "a not single"... seriously, wtf kind of grammar is that?

[megasdkirby]

http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/wan/1548844939.html

See the ironic thing about this is that women who do have sugar daddy's have them because they're attractive and do the things that guys love to have done to them. She admits she's ugly and won't do any of those things which is why she needs to advertise this. What guy is going to beat down the door of an ugly woman who wants free gifts so you can play board games with her?

I WILL PAY U $5 PER PHONE NUMBER USED TO VERIFY CL ACCOUNTS - $5

Hello,

I am a business woman posting many postings a day selling my antique furniture, I want to be able to post more than two postings a day BUT craigslist won't let me!!
I am willing to pay you $5.00 per phone number that you allow me to use to make accounts so I can sell my furniture. This would really be helpful. How this will work?

Well you give me your phone number, I make the account, I will type in your number and Criags will call you with a verification number, once you call me with this number, I will transfer $5 into your paypal account. If you have more than one number I will transfer $10, $20, $30!
If you don't get your money you can always email craigslist and they will shut the account down associated with your number! I am an honest woman trying to make an honest living! Please help!

Its not great here. One game store that sells retro games and they're all pretty overpriced unless its dirt common. You can try the "computers for kids" garage sale that happens once a month. Lots of commodore stuff, some apple computers. One boxed Atari ST. Other stuff too. I've gotten a few good things there but the thrifts and Value Villages around here are either bare of classic gaming or grossly overpriced.

Most of my purchases are online anymore.
