Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']I've found deals like this before, albeit from a retail store, but it's still possible.

Unfortunately, the only store close to my house that still had a 60 gb PS3 seems to have sold it, so I'm SOL on that front and besides which I don't wanna pay full retail if I don't have to.

I missed out on the PS2 deal locally, but in the event someone is looking for a way to 'get back' at someone by selling their PS3, I intend on being RIGHT THERE.[/quote]

Awesome, this is just like break-up sex; i.e. scoring with some disgruntled babe on the rebound. Even better if you can score with a hot chick AND get her ex's games/car/etc., hahahaha!!!
 
Nice Dezlen, if you wouldn't have picked it up I would have haha. I'm a student at VCU, unfortunately i was in class when this deal was posted. XD
 
[quote name='pHi ||']Nice Dezlen, if you wouldn't have picked it up I would have haha. I'm a student at VCU, unfortunately i was in class when this deal was posted. XD[/quote]

Hehe sorry! It's about time I got lucky on craigslist, as I've missed out on several other deals there, usually due to the seller.
 
[quote name='Sinnbox']Here is how it went for me

Hi, I saw your add on Craigs List, I have Super Mario RPG, and it's manual, how much is it worth?

how about like 5-10 bucks

sorry, i can't go that low on it, I paid $20 for it afew years back.

So 20 a few years back means it should be 20 now ?

do you enjoy taking advantage of people? They sell these for $60 localy, and that is with no manual.[/quote]

His reply?

Lol where at ? no place even sells super nintendo games anymore... they dont even sell playstation games anymore
 
[quote name='4tygames']Seriously, how do you confuse a TiVo for a telephone? How do these people get online? AOL?

http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/ele/594171717.html[/quote]

Actual quote from the ad:

"THIS IS NOT A PHONE, IT RECORDS TELEVISION SHOWS. YOU HOOK IT UP TO YOUR TV AND RECORD SHOWS OR YOU CAN PAUSE LIVE TV. I DONT KNOW HOW PEOPLE ARE CONFUSING IT FOR A PHONE BUT I RECEIVED 5 EMAILS, AND IT IS NOT A PHONE!"

Good stuff 4tygames. Good stuff. :applause:
 
[quote name='karkyco']Awesome, this is just like break-up sex; i.e. scoring with some disgruntled babe on the rebound. Even better if you can score with a hot chick AND get her ex's games/car/etc., hahahaha!!![/quote]

I probably wouldn't have gone that far, but I did find it hilarious that she was selling his stuff to get back at him. Luckily, I have never had a gf like that before, since most figured it was good I had a hobby, even if it was one they didn't share in at all.
 
[quote name='rmb']so which Cag posted this ad?

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wan/554053454.html

I suppose he will give you 20 bucks for each game![/quote]I'm tempted to email this guy saying something like, "my son had all of those, they're just taking up space. how about $100 for the lot?" No, I have no kids, that's not the point. It's exactly the sort of email he's hoping to get, some un-informed parent who has no idea the value (or lack there of) of their kids collection.

Just incase it gets flagged

I'm selling my xbox Steel Battalion controler and game. It's pretty much the coolest thing since blow jobs. It's for xbox (the one made in 2001) but it has like over 30 buttons and the game for it rock fuckn' sauce. I origionally bought it for like over $200 (I use to be a pretty big nerd). Anyway I'm selling it for like 2 30cases of beer. There isn't anything wrong with it, I just think that I can get way more fun out of beer than I could ever had with it. Here's a picture bitches... you don't get the box though you fucks. Oh, and no I'm not gonna meet you up somewhere to look at anyones box of porn or accept sex for it... Maybe a blow jay...

Hey, I saw your ad where you're looking for various games for the Super Nintendo and NES. I have quite a few of the ones you are looking for and more, especially the Nintendo Competition carts since I won quite a few of the local and regional contests.

Let me know what you want to pay me for each of the following; here is just what I've found looking around the house, all are in excellent condition:



Super Mario World - 2 complete copies, 2 factory sealed copies​

Super Metroid - 2 complete copies​

Super Mario RPG - 1 complete copy, 1 factory sealed copy​

Zelda Link to the Past - 2 factory sealed copies​

Super Star Wars - 2 complete copies​

Super Empire Strikes Back - 2 complete copies​

Super Return of the Jedi - 2 complete copies​

Earthbound - 1 complete copy, 1 factory sealed copy​

Final Fantasy 2 - 1 sealed copy​

Final Fantasy 3 - 1 complete copy​

Chrono Trigger - 1 complete copy, 1 factory sealed copy​

Mega Man X to X3, various copies, a couple sealed​

Castlevania 4/Super Castlevania - at least 2 copies​

Castlevania Dracula X - 1 copy, complete​

Starfox Super Weekend Competition - one, cart only​

Donkey Kong Country Competition - one, cart only​

I have a bunch more, at least a hundred more games, but I won't be able to get them out of storage for a while, so let me know what you are willing to pay for all of those above.​


I have some of the other Nintendo Competition/Championship cartridges, though they are all cartridge only.​

Congrats on pretty much blowing your cover. When trying to dupe a lowballer, you don't throw out terms like sealed or mention knowing how to have obtained copies of NWC.

I still don't understand what the first guy is saying and that second one is insane >_> 850 for a wii and 6 controllers.
 
Because we all love old sports games for extremely inflated prices. I guess the premium comes from the knowledge that they were owned by the infamous seller.

Sometimes you get awesome buyers on Craigslist. This is not one of those times... I'm selling a NEW and UNOPENED xbox 360 512 MB card for $40 and this guy is just rediculously trying to lowball me. Nevermind the fact that I stated firm in the fucking description

First off, it's $60. Second it's USED. This is NEW and UNOPENED. If you are pricing hard drives then why are you looking at memory cards? Either way, for a man with only $20 to offer, you can't get either now can you?
