The original thread already reached over 240+ pages. Not to mention that it was five years old. Feel free to post your cool/satisfying findings.

In Midtown there's a guy selling a white Japanese Sega Saturn with a bunch of Capcom fighting games, including the best console version of X-Men vs. Street Fighter and some other games like Darkstalker. The asking price is $200, and he came down from $450 last week. I soo want this, but dammit that I have no funds for it. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/vgm/3486168145.html
 
Since this puppy has been sitting stagnant for a couple of weeks now, I'll try to get it started again....

No picture, but picked up a like new HTC One X smartphone the other day for $160 cash on Craigslist. These things go for $250 normally, or $250-$300+ on eBay. I've been watching a ton of them lately, and just so happened to see this one listed and pounced on it. Lady was selling it due to AT&T duping her on some bogus warranty charges. Phone is in flawless condition, aside from a small scratch on the glass that's barely noticeable.

Turned around and sold my old phone today, a Samsung Captivate w/ 4 batteries, 2 chargers and 2 cases for $150 cash, so essentially I paid $10 in the tradeoff/"upgrade".
 
ad is down now but I got a like new PS2 slim with all wires 2 controllers a memory card and a bunch of PS1 & PS2 games including FFVII, Tomb Raider II, Kingdom Hearts, Godzilla Unleashed, and Crash Bandicoot all for $45
 
Got these Gamecube games for $60. Sadly they are not in great shape but they all work. Some include a manual. Probably going to keep Paper Mario and sell everything else. I have several of these games already.

Awesome score, congrats. Are any of them sealed? It looks like at least Mario Party 5 is sealed.

None of them are sealed. I think there was a thin rip on the side of Mario Party 5 that makes it look sealed.

Picked up this lot the other day for $30. Already sold the GTA collection on Amazon for 55.[/QUOTE]

I had no idea the GTA Collection was worth anything. There's one sitting at my local Walmart collecting dust.

^That's a steal. Just an original Xbox for $10 is a solid deal. The wireless controllers (assuming they are the Logitech wireless) go for $20-30.

Here's my contribution to the thread. I found a guy on Craigslist selling Steel Battalion. When I met up with him, he threw in 9 additional games for free (as well as an Xbox power cable, and standard AV cable). I think that the cables were an accident, probably got tangled up with the SB controller wires. The Halo box actually has a Halo 2 disc inside (would have preferred Halo 1 since I already have a mint Halo 2).

Paid $50 for everything below:

Really cool deal. I wonder what makes the xbox power cord so special? I thought it was just a standard power cord, useable on PCs, Dreamcasts, Saturns, etc.

For $60 I picked up a non-HDMI 360 with 2 wireless controllers and GTAIV. Everything works so far.
This 360 hasn't been updated since 2.0.9199 lol.

Unfortunately is smells BAD. The owner was a smoker. ****ing hate it when I buy stuff that smells like tobacco. Probably going to sell it.

He said he sold it on amazon for $5 dollars. How is that worth something?
 
Got a Gamecube with two official controllers today for $20. It's missing that second video port, and it came with two complete games, one a Sims 2. I don't really care about the games, but I'm happy with this purchase since I was looking for an extra system recently.
 
[quote name='detectiveconan16']SHAAAQQ FUUUU. I would pay $75 just for the stick. http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/vgm/3561519386.html

If you're near Westbury, Long Island and you're interested in a Dreamcast and its arcade stick. This could be a very nice buy.[/QUOTE]

Wow. Maybe ask if he'd be willing to deal through eBay and ship it out? If you're that interested in the stick, at least offer to pay the fees and such. ;)
 
Street Fighter II Turbo
Pilotwings
RPM (Radical Psycho Machine Racing)
Mario Paint
Super Mario World
Prince of Persia
Mortal Kombat III
C2: Judgement Clay
NBA Jam
Final Fight

With system( some yellowing) 2 controllers and all the cords. paid $70 a little more than i planed

Nothing special about the Xbox power cord, but it was tangled with the Xbox AV cables, so that's how I know it was used with an Xbox.
 
Had to drive 30 mins to get this lot, but I thought it was well worth it. Paid $40 for everything.. Probably going to keep the box and the storage container, and sell everything else. This guy had original manuals/paperwork for everything including the console!

Everything (except the game) for $65. Trying to flip it back to CL for ~100, if I can't by the end of the week I'll just take $100 in GS credit using the bonus trade-in value for consoles right now.
 
Posted my old Xbox 360 on Craigslist that won't read discs anymore and didn't have a controller for $35. Guy e-mailed asking if I would take trades and ended up trading it for a Nintendo 64 w/expansion pak and 2 games- Starfox 64 and Conkers Bad Fur Day. I already have Conker so I can flip it online for twice what I was asking for.
 
I'm getting a Wii U with Just Dance 4 for $100 LOL. Guy was originally asking for 200 but I he surprisingly was willing to go down that much. Hopefully it works out. I will be testing it first.
 
To do or not to do.

I have an oppurtunity to get a Super Nintendo bundle for around $75, but I'm not too sure if I should take it or not.

The lot itself includes a Super Nintendo (That isn't yellowed at all and works fine) with hookups and an original controller all in good shape.

It also comes with Super Mario World, Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back ,SimEarth: The Living Planet, Rival Turf, Lethal Weapon, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, X-men Mutant Apocalyspe, Gunforce, Total Carnage, Gradius 3 ,and Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2. (And all of them do work).

I really could use a new system as the one I have now, although it works fine, it ain't exactly a pretty site with the yellowing on it.

Do you guys think that's a good deal?
 
I would go for it. You can easily sell your yellowed one for around $60 on Amazon. Then the games are worth the difference and if you sell the ones you already have copies of (if that's the case) you'll definitely make your money back.
 
I too would go for it, since the collection of games is very solid. $75 for Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, Zombies ate my Neighbors alone would have been fine. All that combined is pretty snazzy.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I am going to go through with it, and probably wills sell off some of the games to cover the price. Man, has it been good today. Getting another pickup tonight, will post a photo when I get back!

Here's tonights haul for me! Ended up paying $60 for the 33 games (Only one missing was a Tarzan PS1 game I gave to someone). Didn't think I did too bad on these!

And the ones where the flash is covering them are Gex 3 and Croc 2

awesome pickups
pm me a price on the small soldiers game (if you are moving it) my son is obsessed
 
I had a pretty good find, I thought yesterday.

Two Turbografx 16 consoles, one turbo booster AV add on and two games - $40.

The guy never showed, and then only replied to my email when I said i was leaving and said he could meet in 10 minutes. I think he was just trying to prank people. Seems like too good a deal.
 
That's okay, I was supposed to meet a woman to pick up a Wii with 8 games, 2 controllers battery packs and charging cradles for $30 yesterday. We arrange to meet at 5 when I get of work. She texts me at 3 and says 'i just sold it'. When I tell her that you don't make arrangements to meet up then sell the item she goes 'sorry niqqa bye!'. So obnoxious.
