Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

[SamuraiSmurfette]

For Sale:
Japanese region PS2 with accessories, game and DVDs. A serious collector will love this because many of these games are rare, even in Japan. In particular, a Japanese language hockey game is very hard to find!
I'm selling this cheap because the console works intermittently, so it is sold as is. Most games will work when the disks are freshly cleaned, and disks that are blue work most of the time. When a game starts playing, it doesn't crash, so it is just a matter of getting it started. It may be that the laser needs to be adjusted or replaced, but I'm not sure.
As you can see in the photo however, it does work. Today I tried Tiger Woods, and it loaded on the first try. I have a hard time getting Gran Tourismo to run, however.
What I'm selling:
* Japanese PS2 console, in box
* two controllers, one PS2 and one PS1
* one PS2 memory card, one PS1
* 9 Japanese PS2 games, in cases with manuals:
- Ganbare! Nippon! Olympics 2000
- TV DJ
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001
- GranTourismo 3 A-spec
- The Party Game
- Lake Masters EX
- Silent Scope
- Crazy Taxi
- ESPN National Hockey Night
* 3 Japanese PS1 games
- Acid
- Wu-Tang Shaolin Style
- Worms
* 5 Japan region DVDs
- the Matrix
- Charlie's Angels
- Goodfellas
- Blazing Saddles
- Aliens

Ok. So it doesn't work most of the time, comes with crappy games, and is overpriced but that doesn't matter because :

These look cool on your shelf because almost all of the spines are in Japanese!

if you want the hole lot we can mabey make a deal

So he's got whole (or should that be "hole"?) lot of $3~5 games for $20+. I ask him if the games have their boxes and instruction manuals. Of course not. He does helpfully send photos of everything that I didn't ask for. Thanks guy!

So I write him back trying as politely as I can to suggest he might want to look up what these things are actually selling for before trying to sell them. "Go on Amazon, find the price and halve it" was my advice, if he wanted to sell this stuff on CL. So he writes me back, thanking me for helping him out:

thanks like i'd needed to know that, thanks for wasting my time

You're totally welcome!

[spongerob]

^What a dope. Lots of luck with that steaming pile of awesome he's got there.

I recently talked to a guy who was trying to sell me on FF6 in one of those ads without a price, just the "contact me" thing. He wanted 80 bucks, and told me how rare it was and how lucky I was that someone locally had one. I'm just laughing to myself thinking "yeah OK, a city of a million people, let's see how lucky I am" and I just emailed him a link to a kijiji and ebay search for FF6. Just the front page. Didn't even search III either.

Got no reply lol

[Gameguy]

The system doesn't even include all of the cables, and some games are burned.

Playstation One with Video Games and more
Price: $120.00

I am selling my Playstation One console with many games, 2 memory cards, Multiplayer Adaptor, and a PSONE controler. The system is in very good condition. The CD cases are however cracked BUT the CDs in general are in good condition and do not mess up during game-play. In addition, there are 2 memory cards included. They are very useful in saving your game progress. I have included a Multiplayer Adaptor. This is great when there are 2 or more players because this adapter enables you to play with more players in multiplayer games. Lastly, I have included a Playstation One controller. This offer is not available in stores. It is a very low price for the amount of things you are getting.

The games that are included with the console are:

Street Fighter plus Ex
The game of Life
NBA Live 2K2
MLB 2000
NBA Live 2001
Driver
Monopoly
Street Fighter Ex2 Plus (the second part)
Tekken 3
WCW: Mayhem
Army Men: Air Attack 2

What do you guys think of this? I'm seriously considering making him an offer on it.

Hard to tell without a detailed list. Could be a bunch of junk especially if the systems don't work. But the price is reasonable. Offer $25.

[Sunnyvale]

My favorite is between the $500 Sega Saturn with 30 sports games and the $400 N64 with 20 games. The 64 did have Ocarina, so it was a little better. But what do we expect? I found my Heavy Sixer on craigs for $30. Even had him check the sticker over the phone With the good comes the bad. Dimwits all, but certain dimwits are useful to us.
