In my nightly craigslist searching I found this:

I have a bunch of video games guides. Most are unavailable to purchase anymore. Some are collecters items. I will list the names and e-mail with an offer for one book or for the whole lot. Legend of Mana Legaia 2 Grandia Tales of Destiny 2 EHRGEIZ Saga Frontier 2 Breath of Fire 4 Resident Evil 2 Final Fantasy Tactics Arc the Lad Summoner Threads of Fate Splinter Cell(stealth action redefined) Maximo Metal Gear SOLID Lunar(silver star story) Summoner 2 Grand Theft Auto (vice City) Extermination Dragon Warrior 7 Star Ocean the second story Chrono Cross Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy Ultamate Guide Resident Evil 1 Valkyrie Profile Onimusha 2 (samurai's Destiny) Final Fantasy 4 (final Fantasy Chronicles) Metal Gear Solid 2 Armored Core(another Age) All books are unripped and in mint condition. Picture can be supplied upon request. Email me for more information.

I really don't know if there's any deals here since the guy knows that he has some rare stuff...but it never hurts to send an offer. I mean, it's craigslist. He has to be epecting some lowball offers...

I guarantee he expects Ebay prices, he is just too lazy / dosen't know how to use Ebay.

The fact that he knows some are collectors items means he's done his research.

If the guy was closer, I would try and contact him about the Valkyrie Profile guide. I've been looking around all over for one of those. I'm not willing to pay ebay prices for it though.

I contacted him but haven't gotten a reply yet. Ill post here as to what he says.

If you want to work something out with him I'd pick it up and mail it for you. You'd just have to cover shipping and like $5 for gas. Warwick is a bit of a drive for me.

I got an email back saying someone offered $300 plus shipping for all of them. Have no idea if that is true or if they were trying to get me to up my offer.

Sold, to me for more than that plus shipping. Needed many of these for my personal collection, guides are my favorite thing to collect- rare, out of print and not coming back in any form ever again and also usually MUCH rarer than the game themselves, also easy to store.

You people are ing psychos

not sure how much raregamergirl paid for those guides. but at around $300 it would be a good price. More than a few of those guides are easily worth $50+. Of couse he also throw in a few common guides like Onimusha

how do you safely do an exchange involving shipping on craigslist?

The person sent me pictures so it is legit it seems.

You might want to change this also raregamergirl:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Parasite-Eve-II-...QQcmdZViewItem

I don't think anyone is going to pay $257 for parasite eve ii

how do you guys keep a continuous stock of PS1 games like that?

I dont plan on putting them on ebay (the more common ones will be traded in to store, not worth selling on ebay and I keep all guides for my personal collection that are worth keeping. I keep any rare items I get that I think I wont see again. I meant to bid on that eternal darkness tomb edition that a CAG member had, but forgot to, now that is a rare piece). I know all the local game stores and help them out by selling items for them for basically free and have other connections as well. I make virtually no profit though, as I try to only sell items in perfect condition.

answer my pm Raregamergirl. Please.

You don't. In fact, they recommened that you do only face-to-face transactions. People get scammed in-person, so the risk via mail is much worse.

On the other hand, it's not too far from waht we do in the trading forum. It's just missing the "close community" aspect.

West Warwick?! RI REPRESENT...yeah, so that's a lot of money for guides.

The lady emailed me back saying she sold them for $300 to raregamergirl. She had pics she sent me also so it definitely looks legit.

I actually gave her like $325 shipped for media mail, and there is no way media mail will cost $25 so in all reality it was a bit more. its not the bargain of the century, but to be able to find that many hard to find guides in one spot is a great thing. Its weird because the user actually does have a few of them on ebay right now, I suspect they will take down the ebay listings.

so, raregamergirl, how much do you think the Secret of Mana, Breath of fire 2 + 4, Final Fantasy 3, and Links Awakening guides sitting right next to me could fetch?

she just said she wasn't ebaying them. you could probably get $150 or so though. secret of mana doesn't sound too common.
