The Official Craigslist Finds Thread!

[quote name='MillerTime2523']Larrabee - You are one lucky SOB. Nice finds![/quote]

Latley ya I have done pretty well. Just starting Paper Mario today, only 30 minutes in. I have had better luck on CL then at yard sales.
 
[quote name='nyprimus4']sonderiaom you should have picked up Final Fantasy Tactics as well, fetches a pretty penny on ebay.[/quote]

It wasn't listed originally, I already have it, and with the condition of the games that I have and paid $30 for, I wasn't about to try to get Tactics where I'd be embarassed to sell on ebay.
 
The last half dozen or so posts in this thread remind me alot of my own guide TL on here, where as soon as I posted any guides which MIGHT someday have SOME value to SOMEONE, they were picked off the list quick, leaving the rest to collect dust.

I really kept wishing Fleabay would've gone under a long time ago, as it brings out the greediest in people. :whistle2:X

True enough, though what I'd done is so that I could play them. Each game was scratched and looks awful enough that selling them at a profit isn't even an option. I just missed playing Valkyrie Profile; I'd had it once, but a book fell on it and broke the first disc.
 
See, I actually had that happen to me when I was trying to grab a game or two from someone on CL. Their idea of 'good condition' and mine varied wildly. I also kept asking them if it came with all of the original packaging(manual, back case insert, etc), they originally said yes, then later on said it was missing the manual.

Sometimes, if you prod people enough, you can get them to give you a line by line of what the true condition of their stuff is and that will allow you to make a decision before ever meeting to buy them. And, that will save you ALOT of grief in the end.
 
[quote name='majinvegeta-88']Should I take this guy up on his offer?

http://detroit.craigslist.org/ele/349370080.html

I offered $50 & he countered w/ 70, but he doesnt even know if all of them work or not. Should I take the risk?[/quote]

Seriously sketchy ad. Definitely stolen consoles. Probably a crackhead waiting for you to roll up and shank you! BE CAREFUL!!!
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']http://newjersey.craigslist.org/ele/350150784.html

Two Playstations with the following games: parasite Evel, Dragon warrior, final fantasy VIII, granda,Riven,Driver 2,Air Attack,teat drive off road, Star wars Phantom menance, red Alert,Wild Arms 2,Stoy story 2, magical Racing Tour

It also comes with 4 memory cards, 4 controllers and I'm guessing a Gameshark or something(they only mention 'enhancer' in their ad). I'm nowhere near them(in PA actually) and don't get paid till Friday(broke). Any CAG want this deal? :whistle2:D You can thank me later.....

The list of games was taken directly from their ad. I've emailed them already, but I'm pretty sure that with Grandia, Dragon Warrior, Parasite Eve AND Wilds Arms 2 in this deal, that someone else has already snagged it.

Good luck either way my fellow CAGs.[/quote]

GOD DAMN why can't I find stuff like this in LA?!? I would be all over it.
 
Well Karkyco, if someone from CAG IN Jersey wants it, they're welcome to it, though it's probably gone by now.

I only responded to their ad, but I didn't hit any auctions this week, so I didn't get paid. Hence, I'm broke till next week, but as I said, someone probably snapped it up by now.
 
I got my first good CL deal in a long time tonight:

Original Model PS1 (w/ spring and Action Replay for imports)
Final Fantasy VII
Metal Gear Solid
Rival Schools
Tekken (JP)
Tekken 2
G-Police
Gran Turismo
Wipeout 3

$25

All the games are complete, black label and in great condition. :mrgreen:
 
[quote name='reibeatall']http://dallas.craigslist.org/tag/353484603.html


I'm wondering if I should offer something like $40-$50, just to see if they'll accept. It's been up there for a while.[/QUOTE]

Nice sized lot it's too bad you can't see what most of the games are, doesn't that beat all lol

I can't see this guy accepting an offer that low since it says "looking for a very reasonable" I bet if you offered say $150 (thinking a buck a game then about $25 for the boxed system) he'd still think it was too lowball.

Welcome to my shit list. Population: You :D

Congrats!
 
Has anyone come across any nut cases on CS? I was gonna buy a game from a woman a while back. she was kinda nutty. kept telling me i made her wait (3 days). I was like wtf, i told her i could only make it on tuesday. kinda nuts so, saying i could come over at midnight. I passed

It was for FFVII for $10.
 
I've had 2 good finds this past week:


$30
4 N64 Controllers
Transfer Pack

18 N64 Games:

Mario Party
Paper Mario
Zelda: OOT
Zelda: MM
Banjo-Kazooie
Super Smash Bros.
Kirby 64
Namco Museum 64
Mario Kart 64
DK Racing
1080 Snowboarding
Blast Corps
Pokemon Stadium 2
Top Gear Overdrive
Asteroids Hyper 64
A Bugs Life
Madden 99
NBA Live 2000


$80
White DS Lite (like new)
DS Case
3 DS cart cases

7 DS Games:

4 Game Fun Pack - Monopoly/Boggle/Battleship/Yahtzee
Brain Age
Metroid Pinball
Sega Casino
World Championship Poker
Texas Hold'em: Poker Pack
Texas Hold'em Poker

I thought this was a decent price, considering that I can make back at least $40 by selling the Monopoly/Boggle game.
 
Not really a find but this one made me giggle.

I bought a Nintendo Wii and now don't have the time or desire to play it. I can't remember if I bought it as a status item or if I live beyond my means.

Nintendo Wii
Noonchuk Attachment
Remote
Box
Instruction Manual
Torn Shrink Wrap
AV Cords
Power Cable
Sensor Bar
Box
Legend of Zelda
Wii Sports (FIVE DIFFERENT GAMES!)

Now this is a FIRM $500. That's how much I paid with tax included. You can't find this in any stores except Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Gamestop. I'm giving you 16 items. I can make $2,500 and a free tube of toothpaste off of all that if I were to sell it on Ebay. This is a bargain.

CASH PICKUPS ONLY.

[quote name='davo1224']Not really a find but this one made me giggle.[/quote]


wow what a tool, and for him to mention oh you can not find it anywhere except these "major" retailers... wow if he paid $500 for all that he got robbed..

I remember when I bought a Wii I purchased:

Wii Console
Wii Play
Extra Nunchuck
Legend of Zelda
And a Golf game (one made by Tecmo)
And the classic controller..

Came out to less than $500.00 full retail... then I remember during that week they dropped the price on the golf game So I got it price matched and got
$20 back for that..

Lol like a month later I took a small loss and sold the entire Bundle for $375.00 on Craig's list but I was happy and so was the guy with his 2 kids in the car lol swear the poor guy could not get out of the car fast enough.
 
What I find funniest is that he listed the torn shrinkwrap as part of their great bundle as an item he's giving you.

WOW!!! fuck the Wii, this shrinkwrap is AMAZING. Look, I can see my hand through it, this is the best invention since sliced bread.

Of course, they also include the BOX for the Wii, which is a ground breaking and Earth shattering invention in and of itself. WOW!! If I put this box on my head and make myself sound like James Earl Jones, then I become Garth Lamer, the stupidest gamer on Earth if I had passed up this great bundle.

I could go on and on, but I just get a chuckle out of people who count every item that the item they're selling CAME in as part of the bundle and that they figure it makes the item worth MORE.

I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, you play the Wii system, not with the shrink wrap or box. Although, if they had bubble wrap included, that bundle would EASILY be worth $1000 cause bubble wrap IS FUN.

OK, why does it seem like I live in an area of the country where people always check Fleabay before posting a CL ad or when they have something decent(like a $5 copy of Silent Hill I found on CL along with a $5 FFVII) it's always incomplete and/or scratched to shit. BTW, for anyone who wants them, there are copies of FFVII and SH in the Allentown, PA CL for $5 each, but the person DID tell me they're incomplete and one of the FFVII discs didn't wanna work in their PS2.
 
nothing amazing, picked up an xbox with 3 controllers for 40$
call of duty 3
dead to rights
major league 2k7
nba 2k7

selling games=free xbox
 
Scored NCAA Football 07 and March Madness 07 for $17. Not a big score like others on this thread, but a pretty sweet price for the two games.
 
I'm at work and don't have my digital camera so I can't take pictures, but I just got by far the best score I've had in the last few years today.

I got:

Star Ocean: The Second Story
Final Fantasy Tactics (GH)
Vagrant Story
Valkyrie Profile

All complete in good condition cases with near mint manuals and discs.

The seller was asking $5 a piece and I wasn't about to haggle that.
I'm so stoked that I can finally replace my VP that was stolen three years ago. I've also been looking for a complete copy of Vagrant Story for a while now. To say the least, I'm happy.

Bravo. That's a great deal.
 
I just responded to an ad posted today where the guy had PS2 games for $8 each and 360 games for $12 each. He also had some ps1 stuff on the bottom he said name a price for. I offered him $15 for Final Fantasy VII(the only good thing on the bottom) and Oblivion collectors edition.

Does this happen to be in Tampa? I did the exact same thing...
 
No I'm in New York. This guy also has this Gundam Encounters game for ps2 which according to ebay fetches quite the pretty penny so I'm going to offer up for that too.

E-mailed a guy who was selling a DS Lite bundle about Advance Wars and the Monopoly compilation.

[quote name='Segasonic01']I wonder what the point of him doing this is? It's not like people from 4 different cities can go pick up the game...[/quote] I responded to the same ad, and I used my "clean" email address because I was in a hurry. I hope listings like this aren't used to harvest addresses for spam purposes.
 
Did a good trade today on CL.

My Black Nintendo DS Lite
for his
PSP (factory 1.5 STILL!) Valuepack (with Spider-Man 2 etc)
Need for Speed Underground
1GB Card

Not bad at all!
 
I just finished up a sweet deal using CL.

I bought a 360 package off of a guy for 150.

After a couple of days, I traded it on CL for a nearly new 30gig Ipod Video with 4 cases and an iTrip and 2 high quality aluminum baseball bats.

One of the bats was new, so I put it up on Ebay for 225 + ship.

It just sold, so in all I've gained: 75 bucks, Ipod video + accessories and the used baseball bat which is still in pretty good condition.
 
Someone's selling a PS1 with a few games, including Parappa the Rapper. I sure have always wanted that, I hope he'll let me get it separate.
 
Picked up new in box 60 GB PS3 for $400. I think I might buy one at Wal-mart and return it so I can try and get the 5 free blu-ray movies by using the receipt of purchase.
