If they advertised the ad picture as "Postmodern painting of 2 Gameboy Colors" they might get more for it than the systems! (which, meh would still be like $15 but I digress)

Here's a Virtual Boy collection with games for $800.

I'm sure it's my old collection that I sold off for $250 a few months ago.

FREE! Nintendo, Mario, Contra, N. World Championships odd games (Oakdale)

I have a Nintendo with the cords and controller.
Here are the games:
Mario 2, Contra, BurgerTime, Ice Climber, and a game called Nintendo World Championships.
I think the last one is broken because it has part of the front open with switches exposed.
You may have all these. I do not need them, but you must pick them up.
Leave your name and number so I can get a hold of you.
The kicker is I work nights, so you have to pick up at an odd hour if you want them.
Thanks.

An NES system with 3 common games, all for $150.00.

orignal nintendo entertainment system - $150

Working NES with one controller and three games. Base wars. Bases loaded 3 and the rare mike tyson's punch out and main TV hook up and power cord. Great for collectors and just to relive the memories. Asking 150 for everything OBO. Just taking up space these days. I will allow you to test it at my place before you buy just to assure you that it works. Take care.

To be fair, he does say "OBO". If the system is clean and doesn't blink, as he implies, and includes two controllers and the original cables, I'd pay anywhere up to $60.

There's one controller, it's described in the first sentence. And nowhere does he say that it doesn't blink, he just says that it works. Yes at least he does say OBO, though by your own admission you'd only be willing to pay less than half of his asking price if it were in perfect shape. I'd find it difficult to get $60 for that lot if I was selling it, maybe $50 if I was very lucky.

Yea, people that think they got gold and ask for $150+ don’t like it when you want to take $100 off the price even with OBO on their listing.

I say you offer him that and see what kind of response you get.

[mobiusclimber]

Yes, but guys, why settle for getting one system and three games for $150 when you could buy "a zelda game" for that price?

RARE Sega CD II Console for sale AS IS
Price: $60.00

This console powers up and spins a disc when connected to my Genesis, but I do not have the proper video cable to test further, so I will be forced to sell As-Is.

I believe it requires a similar cable from the Sega Genesis model one, but I am not positive.

Best offer takes it.

And here's another ad from the same seller.

Retro Video Game Repairs & Restorations - Done By College Nerd

Nintendo NES with dreaded flashing gray screen?
Sega Genesis not powering on anymore?
Your favorite Atari cartridge not working?

I fix all these problems for you and more. I am a college computer science student and a video game enthusiast. I have been doing this since my first Super Nintendo broke years ago. All repairs done in home. Pick-up and drop off service also available. Most repairs can be done overnight. I fully warranty and guarantee my work. Several references available from other happy gamers.

Full system, accessory, and game cartridge restoration. NEVER blow on your cartridges again ! I can take trashed controllers and make them BRAND NEW !

Previous repairs completed on -

Nintendo - NES - SNES - N64 - GameCube - Wii - Gameboy (color, advance, & SP)

Sega - Master System - Genesis - 32x & CD - Saturn - Dreamcast

Sony - PS1 & PS2

Atari - 2600 - 5200 - 7800 - Lynx - Jaguar

Microsoft - Xbox & Xbox 360

AND MORE !! JUST ASK !!

Please reply to this ad for a pricing estimate or more info.

I can also repair newer systems and all computers !

So this guy who supposedly can repair tons of systems including the Sega CD doesn't know how to test or fix his system? Either he doesn't know what he's doing or he knows his system is broken beyond repair. This guy is pretty shady.

Its so transparent when you see ads either on these websites or ebay that state the game turns on or the light comes on or a disc spins but they magically don't have the cables to truly test the system.

Translation - This system doesn't work but I don't want to admit it and I hope there's a buyer out there stupid enough to believe my idiotic story.

Dreamcast! Dreamcasts are cool and this will make you cool. Comes with one controller and a VMU (VMU doesn't have the cap) and power cord/AV cable. It's a little dusty.

Dreamcasts ARE cool

That's usually true, but... and I don't want to give anyone false hope... the first TG16 I bought/owned (I think it's still the one I own, actually), was purchased from an Ebay auction for fairly cheap b/c the seller "couldn't test" it. It worked fine. What's crazy is the only thing missing was an RF Unit. How do you not have or cannot find an RF Unit to test a system???
