There's literally 8 empty lines between each game listed, why did the seller list it that way?

[mobiusclimber]

They didn't. This sometimes happens when you relist. It automatically puts in a line break. If you keep relisting it'll keep putting in more and more.

The Ad is more special.
That looks more like a desperate attempt to get on Best of craigslist than anything.

[Gameguy]

I keep getting the same lowballer replying to my ad over and over again, it's really annoying. I kept telling this guy I won't go less than $30(it's listed at $45), yet he keeps insisting on $25. Just now he emailed me using a different email address and offered $23, I know it's the same guy thanks to googling the email address.

Original email address: usedbookbuysell@yahoo.com

Current address: cusavisa@yahoo.com

I searched google and found a page written by a user named cusavisa;
http://www.ehow.com/how_5302076_build-active-links.html

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and the info is taken from;
http://www.usedbookbuysell.com/

The thing is after I told him I wouldn't go lower than $30, he kept emailing me questions and asked for my phone number and address as if he agreed to $30. I don't hear from him for a day so I email him and ask if he changed his mind, he tells me $25 and if I agree to email him my address and phone number. I already told him where to meet with me and I gave him my cell phone number when he asked the first time. I wouldn't normally post about a crappy person on Kijiji but this guy really gets to me.

[coreys429]

That looks more like a desperate attempt to get on Best of craigslist than anything.

His email back to me now: Holy fuck man, yes, yes and yes. I'm a former electrician (i.e. i taped shit together) but seriously I used to have numerous flat two-ping powre cables. I don't have a power cable. Gimme that stuff and a cable. SHIT MAN JUST BRING ME A FUCKING POWER CORD MY VAN IS BROKEN DOWN AND YOU CAN HVAE THE MARACAS.

Srsly.

Oh, on a serious note I don't need a boot disc or a game. These Maracas (it's not the game+perf kit, just the Maracas and bar) are awesome but when I first had that game I swear to God it's the reason why I almost quit hardcore narcotics; would ruin my nostalgia to play again.

So, honestly, if you trek out to Seatac and bring a power cable, then I consider the cable+your gas a fair trade.

Ball is in your court, sir.

I have an ad thats been bugging me last few days, it was on freecycle. If anyone doesn't know what that is, its a email service helping people give their unwanted items to others. Every so often I am on there looking to pick up a few things or give off some things I don't need.

Anyways the ad stated Wanted: Nintendo NES Games

Sure I'll respond on what games some one likes to play...well I get the old my kid is sick and he wants all the games for the system. I am like well they made 700+ games for the system which kind does he like? The email response well he wants all of them..

Back in my day, if I told my parents if I wanted all of them, they would of laughed at me or told me to pick a few... I might just find a few games but then again I think some one found the Stadium Events article and trying to scam people too...

Here's the blurb


I am looking to sell my 60 gigabyte Playstation 3. It is a very rare model being that it allows backwards compatibility!

Another rarity about it is that it allows internet connection through an ethernet cable. Its the only version of the system that allows this.

What the package includes:

60gb PS3 w/ Backwards Compatibility
Two Controllers
All cables necessary to use system
Original Box
Motorstorm, Call of Duty:Modern Warfare, Need for Speed:ProStreet, Assassins Creed

ALL that is included is in PERFECT working condition!

Shoot me an offer 262.945.7771 Ok, rare? No... I'll give him harder to find... but only version that allows internet connectivity with the Ethernet cable? I must be lucky! My 40gig does that too!

Also, I found this one today:
http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-toys-games-atari-2600-W0QQAdIdZ177466736#

Oh boy, $2.50 a game for a bunch of common Atari games! The real kicker is that you can have all 40 (or so) for $130! That's right, for only $30 more than if you bought them at their individually inflated prices, you could own the whole set!

Sometimes the stupid prey on the stupid.

*edit: Actually I think there are 45 games. Then again, that still makes it more expensive to buy them as a lot by $17.50.

GAME BOY PACKAGE WITH RARE GAMES AND ACCESSORIES
Price: $200.00

Selling A Fully Functional Game Boy With Offical Nintendo Carrying Case (With Shoulder Strap), Transfer Cable, Head Phones and Game Shark. The Games That Are Included Are:

* Battletoads
* Tetris
* Bart Simpson's Escape From Camp Deadly
* Mega Man
* Super Mario Land
* Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
* Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition


All These Game Do Not Have Box's Or Books however they are fully functional tested in this Game Boy and the Game Shark works as well. The GAME BOY has the best screen I have ever seen it only has one vertical line down the right of the screen (I have added a photo of this so it can be seen). The Transfer Cable Works Great and the head phones still work some how for 20 year old head phones. This is a STEAL for any collector, $200.00 firm.

It's "Fully Functional" besides the defective screen of course, I looked at the picture provided and the right side of the screen is dead. It only works out to less than $30 per each loose common with a free defective system, Game Shark, and random accessories thrown in. What a great deal. :roll:

I'm actually wondering what you meant by this. I met the guy who is selling that. (I imagine he already sold it by now.) I met him to pick up FF1 CIB for $25. Packaging is worn but for the price it was fine with me. Besides, the wear gives it an emphasized vintage feel on my NES shelf. Haha.

We talked about that game and later on I looked up its history; I pointed out to him the release date didn't make sense and there is no Sega logo anywhere so the fact it's unlicensed made a lot of sense.

There is some kind of organization that did the translation and manufactured the cartridges? If they still sell it, it's not nearly as high as $80.

I pretty much ignore that game since it's originally from China, unlicensed, and this English cart is produced well beyond the lifetime of the platform. I might be missing out. Maybe. But oh well.

By a huge coincidence, I met him too. He just happens to live in my area (Broward County, FL), and I ended up buying two Genesis consoles from him.

Anyways, my last comment was a bit ignorant. The game got an initial print run of 1500 games, and that copy was one of them. At the time he sold it, it was rare and possibly worth a bit.

All three of us are in the county. Funny, when I saw him, he said he was still trying to find somebody with a Genesis/Mega Drive because he didn't have one and could not test the game to try it out. Yet after some time, you got two of them from him? Interesting...

Perhaps he moves stuff around quite a bit for a change like this to have happened.

I haven't actually been IN his store, because it's 20 minutes away from the highway (with a $4.00 toll on the return trip), it's the size of a shoebox, and he frequently notes that N64 systems are "the hot ones".

Although I did just see he has an Earthbound NES repro (http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/vgm/1642049796.html), he's probably charging $100 or something more ridiculous for it.

I haven't actually been IN his store, because it's 20 minutes away from the highway (with a $4.00 toll on the return trip), it's the size of a shoebox, and he frequently notes that N64 systems are "the hot ones".

Although I did just see he has an Earthbound NES repro (http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/vgm/1642049796.html), he's probably charging $100 or something more ridiculous for it.

Anybody in the Boston area ever been here? I might actually make an effort to stop in sometime if it's actually a decent place.

Holy crap that Mario rendering will haunt me for the rest of my life...

Nintendo NES and 13 games - $800

I'm Selling my original Nintendo NES... included is GAme Console, 2 controllers, all power cords, and 13 games. The 13 games include Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3, Heavy Shreddin' Snowboarding, Ninja Turtles, Ninja Turtles the Arcade Game, American Gladiators, RBI Baseball, Bases Loaded 2-3, Dick Tracy, Pinbot (Pinball), and Robocop. I'm Asking $800 but willing to negotiate reasonably. I got it in the 80's when I was a kid. If interested call or text LJ @...

8 of the games are CIB, but certainly nothing that warrents that sort of cash.

[BetaWolf47]

All three of us are in the county. Funny, when I saw him, he said he was still trying to find somebody with a Genesis/Mega Drive because he didn't have one and could not test the game to try it out. Yet after some time, you got two of them from him? Interesting...

Perhaps he moves stuff around quite a bit for a change like this to have happened.

Well, he was a poster on Sega-16. From what I understand, he had a Genesis 2 with broken video output (all he got was noise) and a Genesis 1 with no power cable. The Genesis 2 I got was not the same one he mentioned, and the Genesis 1 was using a modded Genesis 2 power adapter.

But hey, if you're in the area, we ought to meet up sometime for trades and stuff.

Weird combination he had there..

There is someone of high notoriety at the PNT on Federal, they tell me this person comes in very frequently due to working very close to the store's location, and has an interest in import games. Might this be you? :cheers:

[BetaWolf47]

Nah, I'm actually pretty close to the guy that I got the Genesis stuff from. I'm right near BCC South Regional. The only PnT I go to is the one on Flamingo Road.

Interesting. It's kinda far but it's highway the whole trip for me. How's their retro stock, worth a look?

I found out they have their beta released for their new POS systems and they explained to me that the sharing of inventory between stores is only good for whatever inventory each store is willing to share, it doesn't grant access to everything and anything, so in the end the only way to be sure about your store's stuff is to go see it first hand.

A bit on topic; someone responded to a craigslist post of mine and asked for the price. It's written on the damn page. *sigh* And they got upset when I told them the price then suddenly: "it's a used 8 year old game? no thanks" It's near mint, CIB. Just... wow.

[BetaWolf47]

Worth a look for sure. They had about 20 Saturn games, including a US NiGHTs, although nothing too rare and they were all missing cases for some reason. Also about 30 Dreamcast games and a load of PSX stuff. They have MvC 2 for Dreamcast on a station, and a somewhat decent supply of NES and SNES titles. Picked up a loose Final Fight CD there yesterday for $5.

If you see the import guy, let him know that a CIB import copy of NiGHTs was there.

I have to wonder if this person was drunk when they wrote this listing, because it's hard to understand due to poor formatting and grammar:

In case it's deleted, here's the brick of text that was contained within:

i have a Nintendo 64 it works i have a few games that go with it i have the cables i just have to did the av cables to the tv if i remember i have the converter one that uses your cable screw in i just dont use it no more and its sittin around collecting dust i figured some game nut could have more fun with it than i do the games include-doom 64,California speed,yoshi's story,conkers bad fur day in my personal opinion 30 is bad for everything let me now if your interested no spam no junk ect serious people only

[mobiusclimber]

Eh, it might be hard to read but sounds like a really good deal considering Conkers is included. I've seen that game sell for $30 by itself.

I'm in northern massachusetts, I haven't been to this guys store but he spams the SHIT out of craigslist. Every time I look on there I see like 3 or 4 ads a day from this guy. Must be overpriced.

[PentiumMMX]

Worst deal ever.

A loose Genesis system with 7 sports games....for $500.00.

I think I can top that; someone selling an N64 for $6,000, which has 30 games with it, which is evidently "to many games to list so please don't ask". 6k monies is far too much for an N64 with 30 unknown games, which could easily be a bunch of worthless sports games.

http://easttexas.craigslist.org/vgm/1655082200.html

[Gameguy]

The ad I posted before was edited down to $50 for everything, I guess it was a typo after all. Maybe that $6000 lot is really $60.00, it's been years since I've used craigslist but I think the price listings get screwed up when posting sometimes($20-30 becomes $2030). I really hope that's what it is.

I also found one today. Remember, any offer less than triple it's actual value is lowballing.

He just stole all the prices from this online store:

The question is still "why?" however.
