Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

[Vlcice]

I think I'm also going to permanently ditch collecting in favor of emulation and modchipping. I see no reason to keep buying up "actual hardware" when its value seems to get cut by 75% the second I own it. I'm through taking a monetary loss on video games and I couldn't give a damn about the financial stability of the companies that make them.

In short, buying up vintage hardware is completely meaningless. I've learned my lesson. I think I'll go trade that Genesis lot in for a whopping $15 RIGHT NOW and atone for my sins of thinking I deserve fair treatment. Let someone else sell it for lots of money instead, they clearly deserve it more than I do!

I seriously mean this. If I buy a used PS1 I'll modchip it. If I buy a 360 I'll mod it. I'm not paying $20-$40 apiece for the games, especially since no one would want to pay me more than $5 apiece for the same titles for some unknown reason.

And as for the craigslist crowd, most of them are idiots anyway. They don't deserve a fair price.

Calling me a whiner? I'll call you a queer. Sound good? Seriously you fucking asshole, I'm whining? I don't think so! I'm trying to beat the competition but all people do is bitch that I'm not offering a blowjob with the console. Maybe if you didnt come off a fucking dipshit honky about it I wouldn't get so nasty but really, you're all a bunch of goddamn children.

I think you missed the memo; calling someone queer, gay, homo, etc. is not an insult anymore. Unless, you are a bigot, I suppose. Or a pre-pubescent boy. I'm still trying to figure the honkey thing out... where, exactly, do I say anything that sounds honkey? Don't get me wrong, there are lots of great things about honkey (I'd probably say rural) culture, and I've lived in some almost rural places over the years, so I can write honkey if I so choose. There just isn't anything in my posts here that shows a resemblance.

edit: Aww, shucks, this whipper-snapper got bucked outta these parts while I was typin' up this here post!

ROM seller claims "oh, oh, I sold my ROM discs and made lots of money! Up yours!" No doubt he sold jack squat.

Check local Goodwills, I found my LD player there for $25, and it's the self-flipping kind!

You mean it sold itself on eBay for a larger amount? *ba dum bish*

That hurt my spleen.

Seriously though.... do they actually flip the gigantic disc, or does the laser just move around to the other side of the disc and begin reading that side?

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

IIRC the laser does the moving.

That'd be awesome if they actually flipped the disc. You'd have this huge globe-shaped device in your entertainment center!

Sadly, no, they are only about the size of a 5-disc tray CD changer.

I found a laser disc player on craigslist for $35. I just need to drive to Portland, to get it. It will go great with the betamax I have as well.

You HAVE to change your avatar title text to "fucking dipshit honky" now. For the good of the forums.

Ooooh yeah, you're gone.

LMFAO!!! "Com'er sonny, don't make me mod yer ass!"

[FamicomFreak]

I see these kind of deals all the time. This seller around my area is trying to sell a toaster nes with one game for 200 bucks! That's insane but the good thing is that he has been doing it for over six months now so I don't think anyone is going to be buying that.

[coreys429]

I can beat the Nintendo for $200. What about a game collection for starting price of a $1000? http://salem.craigslist.org/ele/1195724515.html

Huge multi system collection, NES, Atari, Colecovision (Salem)

Well, I have this huge classic video game collection. Thing is, I don’t play the games, and it takes up a lot of room that I could be using for my real hobby, salt water aquariums. Most of the collection is NES 8-bit, but there is also an Atari 2600, a Colecovision, a Sega Genesis, and a Nintendo Gamecube. I am going to be posting this on eBay, but I wanted to let someone local have a shot at it. This is not going to be cheap, so please don’t low ball me. I won’t take anything less than $1000.00 cash. There is a complete list of everything except the NES games. The list is too long, but a quick run is; 277 NES games, no duplicates. 23 Atari games 1 duplicate, 10 Genesis games, and 8 Coleco games, and tons of hardware.

Now for the details:

NES: 2 original consoles but only one power supply, 1 top loader, 1 yobo after market unit. 2 D-pads, 2 yobo D-pads, light zapper, power pad, 2 advantage controllers, power glove, Quick shot flight stick, Quick Shot Arcade controller (like the advantage), and 277 games. I will send you the list of games. it is too big to put on here. you will need to have Microsoft Excell to open the list.

Atari 2600: super nice deck, no power supply, original joystick, point master joystick. The games are: Combat, Millipede, Othello, Video Pinball, Asteroids, Coconuts, Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man (2), Frogger, Riddle of the Sphinx, Pole Position, Demons to Diamonds, Bowling, Super Breakout, E.T., Donkey Kong, Pitfall, Kool- Aid Man, Casino, Atlantis, Jr. Pac Man, and Centipede.

Colecovision: all complete. The controllers are iffy. I think the contact points need cleaned. Cool thing about the coleco is, is that Atari and Sega controllers work with it according to the angry video game nerd. Games are: The Heist, Carnival, Smurf, Squish’em feat. Sam, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Montezuma’s Revenge, and Ladybug.

Genesis: 2nd generation w/ one controller. Games: Golden Axe II, Phelios, Battletoads, Mortal Kombat, Sonic Classics (it has 4 games on it I think), Biohazard Battle, T2 (Terminator), Alien3, X-Man, and Battletech.

The Gamecube works, but there is only the unit, no cords, controllers, or games. A friend of mine hooked it up with his stuff, and it worked.

Also, there is a copy of Sonic 2 for the GameGear.


Minimum purchase price is $1000.00 cash. That will be my reserve on eBay. Highest cash offer gets it.

I found a laser disc player on craigslist for $35. I just need to drive to Portland, to get it. It will go great with the betamax I have as well.

I wish I could find a good working Betamax. I have owned 3. Two Sony's, one Zenith. The Zenith was my deceased Grandmothers and it died a long time ago, one sony has irreparable head damage and the other was perfect. It was a Sony SL-2710 I got for 30 bucks at a thrift shop. Worked fine for 3 days then the video head stopped spinning, permanently.

I have not seen a Betamax deck anywhere since about 2006. Ugh.

I do have 6 LaserDisc players though

This guys a winner: http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/tag/1195761980.html
Besides trying to sell a 2600 with 30 games for $400, he's also offering to make copies of Dreamcast games and sell them to you.

But they all fork perfectly. It's very hard finding 2600 games that fork, that lot is easily worth $400.

I've gotta say that I'm getting seriously tired of people on CL who think a PS2 is worth $100 or more by itself. Here's an ad where the guy not only thinks a PS2 is roughly the same cost as a new car payment, but also has a hard time deciding what a PS2 is even called! http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/tag/1199632748.html

PS2 Station, cotrol and games - $225 (Aberdeen Wa.)

You think maybe that "PS2 Station" isn't your thing because there's too much reading involved?

That is actually the rare "PS2 Station" totally different from the PS2 or PlayStation 2. It is funny how it is "not his thing" but he has two Grand Theft Auto titles and two Hitman titles. If it wasn't your thing after playing one of the GTA titles why buy a second GTA game. Same with the Hitman series, why buy a second title if the first, and the entire "PS2 Station" is "not your thing."


I think Diosoth was talking to me when they said: "I'll call you a queer." I do prefer hot dogs to donuts!




I love using " marks!

How about this one to annoy you: Xbox for $100 or more. I am tired to see an xbox for over a $100.
