Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

[VertigoProcess]

Holy crap is that a collection! If that was local and I had the cash, I'd be sorely tempted.

Holy f.... I do live close to there I just wish I had that kind of money...

I actually have a Genesis copy of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 which has a MK II PCB in it. I'm guessing someone tried to rip off a rental place and it eventually made its way to me in a lot of games.

I know this is ebay, not craigslist. Still worth mentioning, I think EarthBound price gouging has hit a new low.

110 bucks for just the cardboard liner?

[mobiusclimber]

I don't usually link to Ebay auctions but this guy went from funny to infuriating, so I figured what the hell:

Here he lists a Mint in Box Circus Caper LIKE NEW! See if you can spot the problem here.

Then he lists this BRAND NEW Disney's Adventures in the Magic Kingdom! Glad to see he included a photo of the game cartridge so we can see how brand new it is.

[SparTonberry]

He also only mentions the box and sleeve, so it's not even sure a thing if it is at least complete (with manual and other papers).

Most, if not all the above items are considered to be collectibles due to older age and limited availability.
All are in great condition considering how long I've owned them. Please text Alex at REMOVED if interested. Thanks for looking!

I dunno about the NES Gameboy Advance SP being worth $800 by itself, but the whole ad seemed a bit preposterous to me.

[SparTonberry]

I do wonder what the deal with people paying $20 or more for a loose Pokemon Red is (without even a guarantee of a working battery). Isn't that among the most common original GB games?

At least with Pokemon Leaf Green, I can understand people would think that because GameStop had jacked up the price when they were selling GBA games (possible to people afraid of buying the abundant pirate copies online).

Some retro games don't need to be rare for them to be worth something... pokemon is still a popular franchise and pokemon red was the start of it, so as long as demand stays up the price will as well.

The Springs, Denver and Ft Collins Craigslist have been pretty sad for a while. I'm seeing the same overpriced crap, that has been at the same price since before Christmas.

Yeah, I'm hoping it'll start to pick up again once the weather gets nicer and everyone wants to go outside again.

[mobiusclimber]

Seattle CL has been spammed to hell in the video game category by the same three or four asshats, and there's plenty of high-priced resellers, but I've also seen some decent deals. The big thing tho is that I don't see a lot of good "collection" sales anymore. People are either selling individually or they just have a really small lot of stuff (and usually it's Gamecube or N64, not NES or SNES like I used to see all the time). But man, finding a NES test station last week (didn't get it, couldn't afford it) pretty much cements the awesomeness of my area.
