Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

Anybody want an Atari 3200?!

Meh, I don't even check my local CL, because most of the people on there are lowballing resalers that are looking for stuff (and are overpriced to boot!) or moronic people that think that their old Atari is worth $500. I've bought one lot before for $70 that had an SNES, (broken, which I didn't realize until later) Xbox, broken PS2, and a boatload of 2600 games. I nearly broke even on it .

Sigh, here's a guy that's not in my town, but appears in CL's "local" listing. $5 per broken PS2/Xbox system? That's a price I will pay and have paid before. Broken PS2s bring around $15 a piece when lotted together on eBay and they occasionally have network adapters attached.

Does anybody know why people put "$1" in the title, then the listing says that they want $200.00? Is it to get better placement on Craigs List?

No, it's because they know that if they put $200 in the price field, no one would click on the link, and they seem to believe that if they just waste someone's time that person will HAVE to buy their overpriced junk.

I'm not posting this because of the price, but because of how it's posted.

He won't name a price, then he names the price two lines down. Plus the list is copied twice, yet the prices are listed differently.

For the tenth time, when you put a hyphen in the price section of craigslist, it gets deleted. He put 5-20, and it showed up as 520.

Well if that's so obvious, why did he put a hyphen in there?

[geezuzkhrist119]

just saw this http://brantford.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and...AdIdZ214897748

this retard is selling a loose game gear and 6 loose games (sonic 2, mortal kombat, bugs bunny double trouble, shinobi 2, nhl 93 or 95 cant make it out and some olympic game) for a low low price of 1500 canadian dollars.

none of the games are worth anything. the bundle is worth about 40 bucks.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Gotta be a mistake? Maybe he wanted $15.00 but forgot the decimal? :\

[Kevincal]

This is awesome. Someone finally got sick of seeing SMB/Duck Hunt carts:

http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/vgm/1825856582.html

This guy for the last year has been posting this add over and over again and I've said nothing about it. So time for me to say something, this is the most common nes game out there most game shops have to many copies of this game that they sell them in lots of 10 on ebay, heck one guy is selling 15 lots of 10 right now. shown in the pictures below is more proof showing just home many people rip this game apart and turn it into something else. This is a $2 game $5 at best, so please do not buy this game you will only be ripped off, don't take my word for it just google it and see how little it goes for. Below is his add below tell him just what you think


Mint condition. Comes with game case. Very fun, classic game but my system just broke so I have no choice but to sell. I'm looking for $20 but I will consider all trades. Thanks for looking! Leave a call back number for quick response.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Wow. What craftsmanship! lol
Don't all offer your $20 at once!

. The workmanship and paint work is terrible on his example. Un-freakin-believable.

Take a look for yourself. I'd hurt someone if they did that to my console.. not pay them $20 for it.

I would be embarrassed to even have that sitting out in public view.

More dudes getting pissed about "rare" stuff:

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/vgm/1826647409.html

this handheld super nintendo system is not rare, it is cheap crap made in china, why would that be rare. is anyone getting tired of these dumb ads,. how about the stiff wire on the n64 system. hey buddy, the stiff wire means it is ready to be thrown away, its called "drie rot". your hand held snes system is not rare, whoever told you that is a moron, im sure thats just your own opinion, which makes you the moron..
nobody cares if your system has a stiff wire that has been sitting in a box for 10 years, and nobody wants your yellow super nintendo system, and those piece of crap handheld systems, send those back to china where you ordered them from. how can 1 billion people be wrong you say????/

Who wants an NES for $60 that has been sitting in an attic since 1986? He's been posting this for months. Time to check ebay buddy.

http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/vgm/1832104193.html

This system is in great cosmetic shape. A perfect addition for a collector. It has not been used since 1986. Came out of my dads attic after years of sitting. It has been fully tested and works 100%. Comes with all you see in the picture.

Its not the overpriced games on Craigslist that kills me. Lately it is all those posts from people who will "Buy your old games." I just got on Craigslist and saw more posts from beggars looking to "take your old video games off your hands." For some reason all I can imagine is some Mom selling her sons (who just went away to college) entire NES collection for $2. Then these guys turn around and sell them for outragous prices. In the meantime, I bust my back searching high and low for finds in the wild. I hit the damn thrift stores and garage sales weekly. Dont get me wrong, I love it, thats part of the fun and challenge. Its the thrill of the hunt. These guys on Craigslist sit at home and post adds, trying to get unknown victims to give them "Old Video Games' for practically nothing. Thats like fishing with dynamite or hunting deer with a bazooka. Its probably just me. I need to relax.
