We're talking crap titles like All-Pro Football or Sega Superstars Tennis.

Don't you go talking shit about All-Pro Football. That game, while not very deep, brought me back to the glory days on the NFL2K series.

Madden is king ... always was, always will be! Haha.
My point was ... the game can be had NEW for < $10 in quite a few places ... and I frequently see it listed on CL for $20, or in a "lot" with other similarly priced games for astronomical prices.
I don't see a lot of re-lists (not obvious ones, anyway) and wonder if these people are having success ripping off the clueless.

I hardly ever buy ANYthing anymore without scouring the Internet to check prices/reviews, etc.

Went fishing on this one:

While that's nowhere near close, at least he didn't try to weasel you with the "Those are pretty easy to find, I will give you 15 bucks for all of them"

Would you people list a game as "new/never played," if all you did was take it out of the shrink wrap, put it in your computer to make an ISO out of it, and put it back in its case?

No... and that's not really legal to play once you sell the physical copy, afaik.

This one's got to be a joke:

I will pay you $50 for it. If you are interested in becoming super rich this way, let me know. Buy a cardboard box, or something with it.

This one is more... the poster is stupid is he really paid $297 for a PSPGo. I don't even know how, that's like 18.8% sales tax.
