[quote name='icpmattj']I also found a gold world champ cart on craigslist in my area.
The guy posted a few games he had and it was in the list.We emailed back and forth a few times and then he tells me he looked up the prices of the games online to get an idea of what he would sell them to me for.He then found out how rare it was and after a lot more emails back and forth over the course of days he tells me someone else is interested and offered $12,000 for it.I told him to take it because i couldnt match that offer.He wasn't sure or not if the other guy interested was BSing or not.He told me he would keep in touch and let me know what happened to it if he sold it or not but i never heard anything else from him again and i even emailed him a few times asking.
I tried everything to get him to meet me so i could actually see the game,but nothing would work.He didnt feel safe coming to my house and he wouldn't let me come to his.The kid was only 16 (or so he claimed) and he said he bought the game at a garage sale a few years ago.He did send me a picture of it though with the other games he was selling.
Im still undecided on if he was BSing me the whole time or not.
Im leaning towards not because if he was just some scammer then why wouldnt he just try to get me to make a payment with paypal or western union or something and tell me he would just ship it.[/QUOTE]
Total bull. He lured you in with thinking you would get it at a low price, then he "looks up the price" and tells you someone else is interested so you'd be inclined to pay more than what this "other buyer" offers.
He won't come to you, nor will he let you come to him, So how exactly will he get his money? If you would have said you'd pay the higher amount, I'm positive he'd ask you to paypal or wire him the money, and he'd ship the game. He probably figures the scam is dead, so he won't deal with you anymore. Stop emailing him, or better yet, give us his email address and let us deal with him :lol:
Also, if he did come through with the cart, you do know it's relatively inexpensive to buy a reproduction of this cart, right?
