Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

[Iroquois Pliskin]

ok so i just got really really drunk and called all these craigslist people and it was funny

[coreys429]

Did you really?

[aaron7]

naw he's just posting for lawlz.

While not Craigslist, it is Kijiji:

A brand new 60GB PS3 for only $1000. I know that the 60s are nice, but $1000?

JY

Sounds like someone purchased a PS3 a few years ago at a high price expecting it would hold, or forgot about it in the closet. Maybe they wish it was unloaded earlier instead of being out so much monies? Or are they just crazy?

[NytroSkull7]

Hehe! I "D at this one

[MrSparkle]

I'm tempted to make him a best offer of $5 to see if he gets the point. Furthermore, what is people's infatuation with selling open boxed items as "never been used"? Why would you open it if you weren't going to use it? In other words---bull shit!!

[NES_Rules]

Severe ADD?

[aaron7]

Yah. It means that it looks new. Doesn't mean it wasn't ever used... I've seen many of those.

I don't know what a mint in box top loader goes for... but I got my loose one for $5 haha

[MrSparkle]

in that condition with the bonus sealed nes game maybe 70-85 would be about what id pay, though id expect to see it up on ebay with a $100 BIN plus shipping. Fact of the matter is I'm not nearly as impressed by and open "never used" system as I am a sealed system, and sealed systems aren't really worth it for me as i generally buy systems to expand my library possibilities. This is why ebay has such high listing fees, to teach this guy a lesson in evaluating the price of his stuff lol.

[8bitCaged]

why do people do this buy things just to resell them for more than thay sell on ebay? he is not going to get $500.00 for a dsi

I know it's not craigslist but it's same thing as craigslist people selling their old crap for more money than ebay

Umm didn't Nintendo sell a lot of systems w/o a factory seal? I know I had almost all of the N64 funtastic systems NIB and none had seals, NIB N64 gold TRU edition no seal. 2nd gen SNES new no seal. Sega didn't have seals either. Same for my Neo-Geo AES. One that does have seal was Pikachu N64, and DK N64. I do believe most systems don't have seals to cut open, so they can be opened, but still be NIB.

BTW my N64 gold NIB sold for $300+ 2 years ago, so people do pay big money for NIB.

Not sure where you got your N64's but I worked at Toy's R Us back then and they ALL were sealed. Pretty much all systems have been sealed since the 32bit era in the US (Japan, not so much). I know that the Nes Toploader came out around the time that the Snes was already out. While I can't say for certain, I'm pretty sure I've seen sealed ones on ebay before.

browsing through my local ads, I found this:

Not calling you out, but I do have proof of my Gold system that is unsealed but NIB. Damn shame that box was in rough shape, but I never came across another Gold system NIB. And as far as the Funtastic systems they were not sealed either. N64 Star wars limited edition, Pikachu, DK jungle pack, were all sealed though. I checked and my Gamecube, Wii, Dreamcast, Genesis all versions, CDX, were not sealed. I could go on, but the majority of systems were not factory sealed from what I own.

I actually like when people call me out but I know what you mean. Anyway, my Gamecube, PS1, PS2, Xbox(was) and Dreamcast are all sealed, but my Saturn(got it used) isn't and neither was my JVC X-Eye. And just so we're on the same page, by sealed I mean a they have a security sticker seal on atleast one side of the console box.

My morning search of Craigslist:

NES System with 62 Games, Game Genie and controllers....$450
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/905036967.html

*RARE* Metal Gear Solid game - $100 (PDX) I am not sure about this one.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/904568843.html

HUGE NES GAME LOT - 165 games + NES system + EXTRAS - $1200 (bellevue)
Hmmm worthy to email and laugh at....almost.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/tag/904637520.html

That's your daily WTF?

[MrSparkle]

title of the post was

XBOX WITH 20 GAMES PLUS EXTRA'S!! MAKE ME AN OFFER I CANT REFUSE!!!!! (HIGHLAND)

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/tag/902658623.html

I really couldn't help myself i fired off an email telling the guy that he'd better give me all this stuff or I'd break his legs. Lol

I suppose the most idiotic thing in his post is the:

"Modded xbox 360 elite controller with rapid fire on both triggers $130 (note brand new controller modded.)"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to open something up to mod it and then test it to make sure it works? So not only is this not new, but it's a completely overpriced piece of junk that he hopes xbox live cheaters will buy.

[megasdkirby]

Agreed. Everything seemed ok except for the controllers. That is just way to high.
