Craigslist people, are they serious?!??

[Lostdwarf]

This dude has certainly lost his grip on reality. Here's a highlight from his ad:



He's also charging $1200 for this lot so he thinks they will magically jump up to $2400 or $3600 in the next half decade. Considering I got a similiar lot of systems(PS1, Nes, Snes, X-Eye, 3DO) on craigs list with many more games a few years ago and only paid $150 for it, I'd say this guy needs a healthy dose of common sense.

you should email him and send him a link to the "collections" part of this page, he'd be in for a rude awakening

This one makes me sad for humanity. Maybe in crack world it does.

I thought this was funny. Some guy just listed a rant about lowballers instead of an ad.

Not video game related but I like this 200gb HDD with illegal movies on it.

I don't know if this is overpriced or underpriced.

I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Some very nice items there.

Gotta love these

What's wrong with the first one? There's a lot of decent games, but it also has a complete NES top loader with complete accessories. It's not cheap, but isn't it at the going rate?

I'd say it should probably be brought down $30-$40 for it to be priced for Craigslist, but it is a pretty good deal. I mean you are getting a lot of boxes and some harder to find games. Plus the Top Loader is probably worth $60-$80 (depending on where you look) so with the box it is probably around $100. If he wanted $250 or higher he probably should've gone Ebay. I'm guessing the seller is looking for a quick sale (well actually a Wii if you look at the bottom).

The WoW sales are laughable, but amazingly they usually do sell. If Blizzard really wanted to evil though they could hire "spies" to intercept sales of accounts and ban the users who are selling accounts. It is against their EULA to do this, so they have the ability to ban accounts for being sold. Plus if they sellers are stupid enough to use their e-mail address registered for WoW on Craigslist it is an easy job.

Wow I don't think anyone will be able to post a more messed up craigslist ad from here on out.

1. How do you get a pebble stuck on the end of a DS stylus?
2. How can you claim to be "meticulous" with your electronics but lack the foresight to employ a DS touch screen protector?
3. "...the actual unit will be 'BNIB' (if you understand that)". Actually I've got a different acronym in mind .

[mobiusclimber]

"So, the box is open, manuals have been looked at, but the actual unit will be "BNIB" (if you understand that)." I understand it, but I seriously don't think this jackass does. If he did, he wouldn't call something he's been using and even scratched BNIB.

[Gameguy]

Here's someone local to me selling systems for pretty high prices, and they don't all work or come with the hookups. I also don't get why it says prices are firm yet right underneath it says other offers will be considered. Near the bottom it says all systems are tested and working, yet it says in the description several of the systems need repairs.

Not actually out of the question! If you're running 10.4, you can only upgrade in the "Mac Box" for $200; if you only care about the OS, it's cheaper to get a copy of Leopard for cheap and get the $30 upgrade.

Sure. On CL that goes on all the time. Getting a whole car would be a good deal. Some people will offer a PS3 in exchange for just a go-kart, some for nothing but a set of 20-inch rims. On the other hand some people will offer you rims for a PS3. PS3 is practically its own currency among the hot rod set on CL.
