Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

Don't you hate it when people have great deals and then they don't put their own email or number then you wait FOREVER then they say they sold it or are like "yeah i still have It" and end the email like that? IT PISSES ME OFF!!!!!

Looking for an XBOX 360 Slim 250gb, will trade 1 1/2 year old male ferret. Descented and fixed. Also cage, food, litter, treats, harness and leash, shampoo, water bottles, water additive and cedar bedding shavings.

IS this legal??[/QUOTE]


What really gets me is the pieces of shit that post pets on Craigslist and ask for a "re-homing fee". It's never an exotic pet like a $10,000 parrot or some crazy thing that might make the fee understandable. It's always a mutt or a cat adopted from an animal shelter that some douchebag expects you to pay $100 or more for because two weeks later the realization that they have to care for it all the time is setting in.
 
O man I hate now that I got the Lunar 1 Box from a Mom and Pop place going out of buisness. Came with all the crap, But the top and bottom parts were cut off! Sad Panda.

Hi, I have a coupon for $100 off a 160 or 320 GB PlayStation 3. I received this coupon through my GameStop PowerUp Rewards card. I am selling it because I just purchased an XBox 360, and have no desire to use the coupon. It is only good until Sunday, June 29th, 2011. I am selling it for $50, OBO.
Serious inquiries only please.

How is that stupidity? It's a good deal for someone looking to buy a PS3. Sure, they're paying $50 for the coupon, but that still gets them $50 off the PS3.
 
Not stupid, but pretty funny.

@shadyfozzie: Have you EVER found anything good on the South Jersey craiglist? I'm in Jersey for summer and it seems like all resellers or people assuming they're selling gold. I've only gotten one good deal, a NES w/ 7 boxed mint games for $30....
 
dasme, I saw one deal for a GBA micro but the guy was firm on $70 w/o box.. I tried talking him down, but to no avail.. I look at all 3 NJ areas, some PA and have found crap

It was just randomly given out to some members only. Not everyone could get it. No points were necessary to buy it.
 
[quote name='Daw19yoyo']Most everyone could get it. Besides who would pay for a coupon when they could buy a new 'Unopened' one of CL for even cheaper than that?[/QUOTE]

Oh do tell. How do "most" people get it? Not everyone got the coupon. I didn't. They're also tied to your PUR card, so you can't just find it online and print one out.
 
How do you know most people did not get it? So if they are tied then you can't sell them am I correct?

EDIT: I am now realizing how much of an ass I am acting like but I SHALL DEFEND WHAT I SAY

The thread on the deal forums that was 90% composed of people begging because they didn't get one?

The multiple posts of people reporting that GameStop support and employees said the coupon was only sent out to random members who for the most part had no PS3 items or purchases on their PUR card?

The fact that people who said they had one to give away were getting so many request PMs that some posters started doing contests on the Free Stuff forum?

The dozens of people in the contest threads trying to get one?

The posts where people reported that when they used the coupon the GameStop employees practically high fived them because not that many people were lucky enough to get one?


Did you actually read the post on the deals forum?

I have one coupon to get a $100 gift card when you buy a PS3 bundle coupon from target with an expiration date of June 16th.

. This coupon may be combined with the current $60 GC promo from Target to get 160$ off PS3 retails value or next week when the ops bundle comes out.

This is a coupon that was given out at Target when I bought something else earlier this week (they are not giving them out anymore). It is a color coupon with a bar code like a normal coupon, I am not posting a picture so people don't print it out and try to use it.

$40

This is for a genuine target coupon.

Target is selling the a PS3 system with a $60 gift card, by using this when purchasing a 160GB PS3 at Target this week, will get you two Target gift cards not just one. One gift card will be valued at $60, and the other for $100, essentially making the PS3 system only $140!

This is no longer available from target and is valid till June 18th.

Hey guys, I have a question regarding craigslist. I don't know if I should bother creating a new topic, so I went here instead. Hopefully I posted at the right place. I posted a new XBOX for sale at craigslist. I have someone who said he'll pay me 30 dollars more than what I'm asking for if I can send it internationally because he said it's a gift. He offered 100 for shipping. Then he asked if we can do the transaction over PayPal. I like using PayPal, but this seems like a red flag scam to me. Never used craigslist before, but you guys are pros. I thought I'd ask for your opinions.

110% scam. Only deal locally on craigslist

The paypal account is likely a hacked account and when it's recovered by the owner paypal will take the money away.
