The Official Craigslist Finds Thread!

[quote name='xenozfan2']Ok I've got strange Craigslist story. Yesterday I was looking around craigslist for some deals when I saw someone selling an xbox 360 elite for $60. I called him and he said it didn't have a hardrive and had been refurbished before and it wouldn't play some of his games. So I said I would buy it so I might could fix it. If I couldn't fix it I could always sell it on ebay for close to what I paid for it. So I drove to jackson which is about 45 min from where I live to meet him at walmart to buy it. When I got there I found him to make the deal then the weird thing happened. He told me he knew it might not play any games so he gave me the xbox for free. I was very shocked and even more so when I got home and the xbox works fine. Something like this has never happened to me before so i'm pretty pumped to play some good xbox games.[/QUOTE]

Not really. One time some guy gave me a bunch of free PC games, such as Oblivion, Half Life, Halo and so on.
 
finally scored a Nintendo 64, saw an ad on craigslist for a garage sale happening Saturday and mentioned a N64 so I called and guy said something to the effect of it being 2 systems in 1 so went to take a look and it was 2 Nintendo 64 with power cable and 1 AV cable 2 controllers and 9 games for $30. Some of the good games were Killer Instinct Gold, Star Wars Shadows of the Empire, Dr. Mario 64





Then went to check a thrift shop and got Super Mario 64 for $12 (is that a good price?) They also had Mario Kart 64 for $12 and Star Fox 64 for $10 and Goldeneye 007 for $10 or $12. How are those prices? I thought about getting them all but didn't want to spend more on the games than I spent on the system.

Not bad. I wish I could find a cheap n64 so I could play me some pokemon stadium. The n64 is only of the only systems that there are really no good emulators for.
 
[quote name='Bing147']I think its Tin Star but may be wrong, fairly sure its not Earthbound though[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it looks more like that.... lame... any ideas on what some of the others might be?
 
well I am going to sell one of my two Nintendo 64, both are in perfect working condition. IS there a way to know the manufacture date so I can keep the newer one? Or is there something I should look for when deciding which one to keep? Both are in about the same cosmetic condition.

Hmmm one metalcombat and another looks like TMNT turtles in time
 
Craigslist in my area has been hit with a bunch of posts from people outside the area. Loads of console only 360s for $75-$125... No real gems.

When something does crop up, it's usually eBay prices and zero negotiating.

Spending more time looking through electronics and musical instruments...
 
[quote name='Kingmojo210']Hmmm one metalcombat and another looks like TMNT turtles in time[/QUOTE]

Metal Combat is definitely there (requires Super Scope). Revolution X (not good).

Tetris/Dr. Mario combo = best game in the lot! Go get it!

Not sure what the others are. I don't think TMNT is in there.

Haven't heard back from the guy at all. I already have a copy of Tetris/Dr. Mario combo that I got a garage sale a week or so ago (picked up SNES + Tetris 2 + Tetris/Dr. Mario combo for $2), so I think I might pass on this...
 
[quote name='Rig']I don't think TMNT is in there.[/QUOTE]

I agree with this, not mentioned yet but I'm pretty sure Zool is the game in the top right. That only leave the game in the bottom left unidentified.

The last three games in your SNES pickup made that worth it.
 
Not videogame related but picked up Lego Gold City Junction and Sheriff's Lockup sets for 50. They are missing a few pieces but most of them are there so I'm pretty pleased as peach. Actually not a fan of the Sheriff's Lockup so I may sell it instead and get something else.
 
what would be a good offer to make on all this stuff the guy was like $120/$150 with scene it i was thinking more around the $75 area but not sure how much resale value the lot has if any

On a rough look of it a lot of that is quite old, with plenty of those being launch/1st year titles. I would say $70-$80 and you're getting yourself a crap ton of value. With that said, it is a good deal but it isn't a bad deal for him. I'm sure somebody would pay what he's asking but those games are very old for next-gen titles, the vast majority of them.
 
There doesn't seem to be a lot of resell value there, but it'd be a good deal if you're looking to buff up your collection.

Be sure to check if one or both have the RAM expansion module, and put it into the system you plan to keep if there's only one. Personally, I would just keep the better condition one regardless of age. N64's like allmost Nintendo consoles are solid, sturdy, and long lasting.

The prices you mentioned on the games you're interested in buying are pretty average for clean cart only copies. Nothing to write home about as they're roughly the going rate/value, so you're not exactly getting ripped off but you're also not getting a deal. Not worth it from a reselling perspective but ok to add them to the collection. I would try to bargain with the thrift store to perhaps get a bundle/bulk discount.
 
Picked up a SNES for $150 today with 1 controller, hook ups, a multitap, and these games:



Secret of Evermore
The 7th Saga
Super Gameboy
Actraiser
Breath of Fire
Breath of Fire 2
Link to the Past
Shadowrun
Soul Blazer
Lufia 2
Super Mario RPG

Pretty happy with these; most labels look great with the exception of BoF2 and SoE (torn labels) and Zelda is a little stained. Knocked out a good few for the collection, although this is my 3rd SNES.

Unfortunately neither came with the expansion pack, guess I'm going to have to hit up the flea market Saturday to see if I can get one because I don't feel like paying the $20-$25 people are asking on craigslist/ebay

Yeah I ended up only getting Super Mario 64 for $12 at that thrift store and just picked up Zelda: Ocarina of Time for $15 on eBay. Those were the 2 games I really wanted along with Star Wars Shadows of the Empire. Any other games I get I will pay $5 max
 
Slightly off-topic, is there any advantage to the genuine expansion packs or do the knock-offs all over eBay get the job done all the same?
 
[quote name='starwa1ker']I just got a copy of PS3 Black Ops for $12, going to trade it in to Best Buy for $22.50 in-store credit =D[/QUOTE]
So you spent $12 in CASH to make a $10.50 "profit" in credit.:whistle2:s To each their own, I suppose.
 
Thanks. While 150 was a little high, the games made it worth it. I'm probably going to sell the system and dupes to offset some of the cost (I didn't know Lufia 2 and Mario RPG are spiking at $45 now).

I wouldn't use a knock-off, I've heard of people bricking their consoles using them.

I've heard of some not working, but have never heard of them bricking the console itself.

probably just use originals to be safe and probably better quality and will last longer
 
Been about a month since I made a good craigslist find, but I snagged this n64 lot a couple of days ago.

SDC10322.jpg


Seller originally asked $100, but I told him I couldn't go that high. Made an offer of $70, took it for $75. A bit on the higher end of my price range, and I literally would not have paid a dollar more than $75. I needed Conker, Jet Force Gemini, and the non-holo Majora's mask in my collection. I'll probably just take those games out of the bundle and put the bundle back on CL for $80. Hard to get ahold of Conker for "free," happy to have snagged it.

[quote name='Lok3sh']I love CL. Recently got a brand new 3G/WiFi vita brand new and sealed for $150![/QUOTE]

Just picked up a 10$ Psp 2000 with no charger today, he said he didn't know if it worked so I charged it up and money :)!
 
I picked up:

World of Warcraft Cataclysm standee
Starcraft II Sons of Liberty standee
Brink standee

all for $15 ($5 each) from an independent games store. The guy even helped my load my car and told me he will let me have first crack at the next batch at $5 each before he lists them on CL.
 
Tonight I picked up:

SNES console with all cables and one controller (I already have a couple SNES consoles)
Super Mario World (have a couple)
Donkey Kong Country (have one already) + manual (great condition manual)
Super Metroid (finally I can sell my "Player's Choice" copy for the original)
Mega Man X2 (FINALLY own this game! Now I just need X3.)
Chrono Trigger (Finally got my hands on this one too!)

Paid $90. Talked him down from $145 or something. I'll prolly sell my duplicates and the console.

The only sad part is Chrono has initials...over the label. -.- Ugh. I'm guessing I can't remove them without fucking up the label...
