Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

This seems like a good place:
Are people who are pricing their old-ass, terrible games at $20 a piece really having success?
Just about every third CL posting I come across is selling "new/sealed" games that I see on Newegg or BestBuy for $10 and lower ... then they have them on CL for the insane prices; are people really too stupid to know better? We're talking crap titles like All-Pro Football or Sega Superstars Tennis.
 
I've only made the mistake once about posting something for more than it cost new. Apparently Amazon and Newegg started carrying Verbatim DVD+R DLs for cheaper than Supermediastore since I last checked.

Don't you go talking shit about All-Pro Football. That game, while not very deep, brought me back to the glory days on the NFL2K series.

Madden is king ... always was, always will be! Haha.
My point was ... the game can be had NEW for < $10 in quite a few places ... and I frequently see it listed on CL for $20, or in a "lot" with other similarly priced games for astronomical prices.
I don't see a lot of re-lists (not obvious ones, anyway) and wonder if these people are having success ripping off the clueless.

I hardly ever buy ANYthing anymore without scouring the Internet to check prices/reviews, etc.

Would you people list a game as "new/never played," if all you did was take it out of the shrink wrap, put it in your computer to make an ISO out of it, and put it back in its case?

No... and that's not really legal to play once you sell the physical copy, afaik.

I want to purchase a Nintendo Wii system. I will pay you $50 for it. If you are interested in becoming super rich this way, let me know. Buy a cardboard box, or something with it.

This one is more... the poster is stupid is he really paid $297 for a PSPGo. I don't even know how, that's like 18.8% sales tax.

He responded:

I bought this ps3 just 10 hours ago, I paid alot of money for it. I just want my money back. I paid 300 for it but you can have it for 290. Also the controller will cost extra if you want that because I need it. Btw, I am selling final fantasy 13, I paid 60 for it but you can have it for 59. One problem though, my dog chewed the disc up a bit and I ate the manual because I was hungry and bought video games instead of food. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks, Steve

Yes Martha, I would love to buy that 15 year old mattress that your husband impregnated you on, let me know if you'll ship it to nigeria and accept western union or paypal.

PSP Brand New - $100 (Riverside)


I have a brand new PSP version 6.20 with 30 MB memory stick only used it for about 15 minutes out of box. Dont have the box I dont think but maybe if I look harder I can find it. Has everything that it came with plus the memory card. Black in color. Text or call only 316-214-1949
Click to expand...

My email to the seller...

I have a simple question that perhaps you can answer. You state that the PSP is brand new, only have being played for 15 minutes out of the box. Yet, the box is not included in the purchase price? Please explain how one can lose the box to a brand new PSP in a matter of a mere 15 minutes.

Patiently awaiting his response.
 
I just sold my 60 gig ps3 for 310 on craigslist (I was worried about the ylod, and used the money to buy a slim), but I had offers of: $45, $75, and best of all "free" but it will be used to help homeless children (the email was from '[email protected]').

As soon as he brought up the 'price glitch error hoarding' on another thread, I knew it was a formerly banned user who ripped into me and others for taking more than 1-2 games with those coupons at Best Buy.
