2, and it's value is on par with a PSP.

I generally see SNES' go for more than PSPs on Craigslist around here. SNES systems are almost always at least 50 or 60 while a PSP often goes as low as 40

When pricing my stuff on CL, I usually add an additional 10-20% to the price I'm really hoping to get for it, just so that I know I have some wiggle room in case they wanna try and haggle.

Of course, that extra bit doesn't help one iota when your asking price is $60-70 for something and they start out with their 'generous' offer of $15.

This is pathetic to me. What do you guys think?

"Is anyone out there willing to donate any games for the xbox 360? Me and my girls got one for christmas, and we only have one game (Soul Caliber V) and one controller. I am still out of work, although I am looking every day. So we were wondering if anyone had any non-sports games that they no longer had much use for, that they wouldn't mind donating to a great family. We aren't big on sports games here, although racing games, anything from Bethesda Software, and Rockstar are always popular here. Beyond that, let me know what you have, and we can go from there. I hate being in this position, but this stupid xbox is the only thing we have, beyond this old PC.

No, we are not looking to buy games, as we have no money, which is why we are hoping there is a generous soul or two out there, who might be willing to donate games. And no, we are not selling any games, either...


Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a great day!"

Didn't the one guy a few years ago go about trading up for a car by starting out trading on CL for something bigger and so on?

As for the ad you listed, it never hurts to ask for free crap. You never know if/when someone would willingly give up some old games.

I did a "Will write experimental poetry for games" ad once and got myself a .hack infection game for my troubles. It's amazing what kind of replies you'll get when you're just doing it for the lulz.

I don't have a problem with someone asking either, if it were genuine. Of course it's difficult to tell in most ads.

Here though, it's interesting that he mentions that games from Rockstar and Bethesda are popular in his household. How old are these girls? If they are kids, then it sounds like he is trying to get games for himself. Also, beggars can't be choosers.

Exactly.. I don't like that he/she requests non-sports games and games from certain developers. And they already have Soul Calibur V, which is a perfectly fine game to play. But whaeva, maybe someone out there gave them some free games by now.

Only wants games made by Bethesda or Rockstar?

I'm betting on him being full of shit and wanting the games for himself.

Lol howgh embarrassing to beg in craigslist. If your out of work, the last thing you need are video games loser.

I came upon this the other day, made me laugh.

Do you live in a studio somewhere in Pilsen? Do you like to use vintage shit that people got rid of for a reason? Are you looking for that new "look-how-ing-retro-I-am" certerpiece for your next party that will be a huge hit then promptly occupy your closet until your next move because everyone realized that their iPhones are 10x more fun anyway?

Then buy my TELE-GAMES video arcade system! It's totally solid! What's that? You've never heard of Tele-games?!? Of course you haven't! It's Sears' low-rent version of the Atari gaming console that parents gave to kids to make them feel poorer than their friends. Think of it like Tele-Games : Jesse Eisenberg as Atari : Michael Cera. Both are exactly alike, 100% interchangeable and awkward as shit but one costs a lot more than the other. Regardless, this sucker was all the rage back in '77 when it came out. It was as new as women's rights only a lot more fun and useful! Check out all this cool stuff it comes with:

-Tele-Games gaming console
-2 controllers
-24 games including:

-Pitfall
-Space Invaders
-Asteroids
-Donkey Kong
-Pac Man
-Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back, not that Revenge of the Sith shit)
-E.T.
-Spiderman
-Laser Blast
-Defender
-Star Radiers
-Dragonfire
-Starmaster
-Football
-Missile Command
-Night Driver
-Skiing
-Dodge 'Em
-Dragster
-London Blitz
-Riddle of the Sphinx
-Brainstorming
-Multi-player game combo

and my personal favorite....

-JOURNEY ESCAPE

As in the band Journey made a mothering video game. That's right. Don't Stop Believing in all it's 8 bit glory.

This whole system was totally tubular back in its day. It's got features like individual skill level selection, a reset button (you'll need that one) and even works on both black & white AND color TVs!!!! You read that right - COLOR TVs, folks.

I mean, by today's standards the graphics are roughly equivalent to playing an original Playstation with cataracts but hey, if you like old hipster shit like this you can't pass this one up. One catch is that it is missing the power adapter (I think i used it to try and hang myself when I realized I was still playing an Atari) but I did the homework for you and can include a link on where you can get one for cheap so you don't have to waste any more company time looking for one and can get back to doing something useful (like trolling Craigslist for new jobs while your're still on the clock.)

So be the coolest, most ironic kid on your block and buy this sucker. I'm tired of looking at it. Make me an offer so we can haggle and then you can stand me up!

I'm surprised people haven't tried to sell empty Skylanders packaging as "pure, 100% invisible Skylanders characters"

Haha, I like that ad tacoman, especially about the Journey game. Just great

Haha.. thats an awesome ad mrspicy

EPIC ad Mr. Spicy!

Maybe this should go in the craigslist finds thread
