Picked up a 20GB PS3 in box with everything and an extra wireless controller for $300 a few weeks back. I wasn't really looking for it, but how could I say no?

yeah you gotta take those and turn em into something else you want, at the very least. whenever a big package is >$100 under the going rate, i jump on it and resell it piece by piece.

If any of you guys live in San Diego and like arcade machines, pick this up!

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ele/332983501.html

DnD Tower of Doom cab. It's looks to be in excellent condition. $300.

If you buy it, invite me over to play.

I would buy it, but I dont have the room

Damn Larabee, that's a crazy good score. PS2 AV cables should be no problem...I think they are also interchangable with PS3's, maybe even the last PSX's.

There are TONS of "fallen off a truck" games on craigslist all the time.

I've picked up brand new sealed PS3 and X360 games for $20-30 quite a few times now.

Ya I actually went down to Game Stop and got a Universal S-Video connector. So I have my N64, Game Cube and PS2 all on one cable now.

Also I bought a switch off Newegg, its getting cluttered with all these systems now.

I bought an Xbox + 2 controllers for $50. I thought it was an OK deal since GS sells it for $100 without the additional controller.

I've been trying to buy a used 360 system now for a few times. The prices some people want is amazing. A used Core, 2 Wires Conrollers, 1 Game = $400. But hey, he will give it to me for $350 since EB sells them for $400. WTF.

Edit: He e-mailed me back claiming the Core is $399.99 new, even though I sent him 3 links with the $299.99 price. Damn.

You are not the only one. I been looking several times a day everyday for a while now on CL. The only time I found a killer deal I couldnt get in touch with the seller and didnt get it.

HAHAHA there are so many highball sellers on craigslist, I guess they balance out the lowballing buyers (like me).

But that is ridiculous. I see X360 premiums that claim to be in good working condition for $300 or less on CL all the time. That moron is just trying to find a sucker. Just watch - he will have that same ad posted for MONTHS. I've seen it before all the time.

There is one guy trying to sell Star Wars #1 (Marvel, i.e. the comic) for $40 or so. He's had the same ad for probably close to a year now. Dude, it ain't going to sell. Lower the price.

I had this one shitbird in the Valley who was selling a few vintage games that I would have picked up with a CiF deal. The beeyotch actually pulled a "oh I've raised the prices on them" move, so I was ready to tell her where she could stick her games (but first I wanted to find out if they were at least complete, so I could maybe still score a decent deal. Nope. I didn't even bother responding to her after that, though I REALLY wanted to tell her off. Go sell them on eBay then, BEEYOOOOOTCH!!!

Check out this email exchange:


I WROTE:

Hey, if you haven't sold the games yet, I would love to pick up. Let me know if you still have them, as well as where you are located.

I am interested in:

- Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (DS)(DEMO) $2.00
- Breath of Fire II (SNES) $5.00
- Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES) $5.00
- Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (SNES) $8.00
- Breath of Fire II (SNES) $6.00
- Super Mario AllSTARS & Super Mario World (SNES) $7.00
- Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask GOLD EDITION (N64) $10.00
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyper Stone Heist (Sega Genesis) $5.00


SHE WRITES:

im sorry to say that changes have ben made to the prices...
the ones that i've raised up in price are the ones in bold text...
let me know if your still interested...

- Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (DS)(DEMO) $2.00
- Breath of Fire II (SNES) $15.00
- Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals (SNES) $18.00
- Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (SNES) $25.00
- Breath of Fire II (SNES) $18.00
- Super Mario AllSTARS & Super Mario World (SNES) $18.00
- Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask GOLD EDITION (N64) $20.00
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyper Stone Heist (Sega Genesis) $5.00

TO WHICH I REPLY:

Are these games at least complete with box, instructions, maps etc.?

HER FINAL COMMENT:

nope no box, no instructions... On ebay and everywhere else they retail from $15 up to $48 and thats just for the game...


YEAH, OKAY THERE...THEN PUT 'EM ON EBAY!!!

Found a guy on Craigslist with a 100+ NES game collection, but he knew what they were worth, so I had to pass.

Just picked up Resistance Fall of Man and MotorStorm on my lunchbreak.

Guy was advertising 4 PS3 games:

Resistance
Motorstorm
2 sports games (NHL or NBA or Madden, can't remember but didn't want them)

$35 each.

I asked him where he was located and whether he still had Resistance, and whether it was complete or not. He told me he worked in Santa Monica, really close to my work. Games are open, used but complete and in perfect condition. Awesome.

I arrange to meet up, and tell him to bring Resistance, and I might be interested in Motorstorm.

I drive over there, meet up, check out the games and offered him $50 for both, cash in face. He resisted a bit, but I told him I really wasn't interested in Motorstorm since it's a basic racing game and will be $20-30 in stores in a couple of months anyway.

He took the $50. So now I have 3 PS3 games (sealed new, probably stolen Marvel Ultimate Alliance, $25 a month ago, also craigslist) for my free PS3. MWAHAHAHA!!! I hope Motorstorm is at least decent and has weapons or serious wrecking ability...
