Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

I've noticed a sudden influx of 26-29 year olds on my local CL. Either they're all bots or suddenly my area is a hip and happening place where 20 somethings are flocking to and NOT fleeing from once they graduate from college.

Of course, it could also be that many of the ads are misposted from OTHER states with a city named Scranton. I know that Ohio has a Scranton, as well as one or two other states.
 
[quote name='BlueLobstah']Considering that there were multiple "moms with kids" 25 and under, it seems like a logical conclusion.[/quote]

I work at a crappy mall and you would be surprised.
 
Here's the kicker though, the age is listed as 27, but she has kids 17 and 18? Figure that one out.

Lol, I remember looking up random stuff on the internet and I came across this site that had myths, and it had an article about a 5 year old having a kid. I forgot the site, but I looked it up on Wikipedia, and it is true that the 5 year old had a kid.

For me, its not unusual at my school to hear about some 13, 14, 15 year old having a child. For some reason, there are a lot of teens having children at my school, and its scary thinking that people in my generation are having kids already (I am 15).
 
Wow, not only is it massively overpriced, the screen has mysterious stains that probably can't come off easily for the double whammy. It's an original Gameboy. Those things are worth maybe a $1.25 max, especially with that horrible assortment of games.

XBOX 360 Bundle - $650 (West Des Moines)
Reply to: [email protected]
Date: 2008-06-09, 7:03PM CDT


I have a sweet 360 bundle for sell. It includes the following (putting the costs associated with each when I bought it to help you understand why I am asking $700):

Xbox 360 $349
1 controller
HD DVD attachment $99
1 XBOX 360 Remote Controller
1 Headset
1 Video Camera (used for video chat or in game video chat with certain games) $40

Games:
Halo 3 $60
Guitar Hero III (Including Wireless Gibson Guitar) $99
Rock Band (Including Mic, Wired Guitar, Full Drum Kit) $180
Forza Motorsports 2/Spider Man Combo Game

Arcade Games (Stored On The Harddrive):
Uno (Vision Camera Enabled)
Texas Hold Em (Vision Camera Enabled) $8.99
Bankshot Billiards 2 (Vision Camera Enabled) $12.99
Poker Smash $8.99
Commanders $8.99
Worms $8.99
Mortal Kombat 3 $8.99
Puzzle Quest $12.99

I'm pretty sure I have a couple more but can't remember them offhand.

Music (I have a bunch of music downloaded to the hard drive):

Sublime Gold (Best of CD) $19.99
Sublime Everything Under The Sun (3 discs of rare, never released and remixed Songs) $49.99
Slightly Stoopid Closer to the Sun $13.99
Slightly Stoopid Chroncitis $13.99
Slightly Stoopid (can't remember name) $13.99
Slightly Stoopid (winter tour 05) $22.99
G Love and the Special Sauce Lemondade $13.99
Dave Matthews Band The Best of What's Around $19.99
Jack Johnson Sleep Through the Static $13.99
Ween La Cucaracha $13.99
Insane Clown Posse The Tempest $13.99
Mitch Hedberg (Comedy) 2 discs $29.99

There is a whole bunch more that I can't remember and I am about to leave work so this is enough for now.


So that's it. That is pretty much the bundle. I know i have a couple more games on the hard drive and alot more music as well (just can't remember it all). Without the music, you can see i have invested at least $900 into this. It is less than 1 year old. I have a PS3 and a Wi so i will be fine without this. My car broke down and i am trying to raise some money. If you count what i paid for the music on this you are getting at least $1300 worth of stuff. I originally posted this offer for $750 a month ago. I will go $650 but absolutely no lower. This is as firm as it gets.

Serious inquiries only. I am only selling this as a bundle so don't ask how much individual things cost.

One love.

A CL first for me using the price of music on the 360 HDD to set the price (On top of that he is an idiot if he paid those prices for a few CDs.) He also can't figure out the price of arcade games, 80 MS points = $1, I'm not sure how he came up with his prices.

$650 huh and he "will absolutely go no lower" . I'm betting he will go lower cause he ain't ganna sell shit for those prices.
 
The ad's gone, but I recently saw an "adult-owned" Game Boy and some other console that comes with games like:

Barenstein Bears
Dora the Explorer
Mary-Kate and Ashley games
Pokemon
Nickelodeon games
etc.
 
I stumbled across 2 today, can't find them now.
One was Wii Fit, factory sealed. Only $170.
The other was Final Fantasy 7, used but in "good" shape. Only $200. Probably show up and it's a GH with a cracked cover and discs scratched to hell.

As an adult who enjoys Pokémon and who has also acquired a surprisingly massive number of shitty kids' games over the years, I can attest to the fact that it's not impossible for an adult to own a system they want to get rid of and a bunch of bad games along with it.
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']While this is not game related(and 'she' is probably a porn bot) check out this personals ad from my local CL:

im looking for my best friend

Life is what you make it ...so let"s make it fun! Fun for me comes in a variety of ways. Being outdoors, hanging with friends, watching movies, eating a good meal, talking about dreams and aspirations, sitting still, etc. I think chemistry is important and physical attraction is different for everyone. I'm 5'2, full figured. I have 3 kids, 18, 17 & 13 that are the joy of my life.

He's only off on how much it's selling for on eBay by x2 :D I'd think the only reason people would sell the new PS3 MGS4 bundle is for the gift card as they would really only be about breaking even if they sold it for $600 shipped after fees.

I think that some of these people selling Wii(s) still are mostly doing it to become power sellers as it doesn't seem worth it IMO to sell a Wii just to end up making about $20 at best.

I found a few in the past, but this one actually made me do a double-take.

SNES only $100

It does come with Super Mario World. I know how rare that game is. So rare that there are at least three listed a day.

On a side note I'm finding that I'm starting to love and hate craigslist in my area because these fantastic deals come along but it is too much of a drive for me to go and get the stuff. Someone was selling an SNES with 12 games including Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore for $20. I have an SNES already but for that price it's worth it for those two games alone and two extra controllers. Sigh... hopefully someday soon I'll find an amazing deal. A friend of mine got a Wii for $150 of off here because someone won it and already had one.

Not only is that nowhere NEAR 600 dollars, but the atrocious spelling and grammar is funny. I'm not sure I would feel safe giving this guy a gun lol

http://columbus.craigslist.org/tag/721385246.html

Here is the deal. I went to one of those stores that buys used video games. I was trying to sell a bunch f games that I did not play anymore. One of them was this version of Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas. Well, the guy behind the counter scanned it and said "sorry sir, we cannot accept this game. It has a porno scene in it that you can unlock". I guess i bought this before it was discovered at Rockstar games. Basically some programmer sneaked one by them for a while before they caught him or her. None the less, stores will not touch it. The guy at the store told me that you can sell that online for a bunch. It is for the origional X-Box.
Click to expand...

woot only 150 dollars for San andreas the "porn" edition lol

Wonder if anyone bothered to tell him that there is no legal way to unlock that, you need to have a hack for the game, which means a copy and an xbox that will play copies after you have applied the hack
 
WOW, the Hype to Crap ratio of this ad is incredibly high. Never mind the insane price, but this is the BEST, hands down, absolute, none better, BEST Nintendo bundle.

This guy is looking for suckers. I wonder if some stupid soccer mom will fall for it? Well, he uses 3 exclamation points, so it has to be accurate. Plus, the micro has "only one" scratch. And that list of games, simply incredible. He "might" even throw in an extra carrying case, WOW!

True, BUT there's one problem. To prevent or at least slow down hax0rs online Microsoft made it impossible to have real-time modification of code in-game.

See, I was under the impression that the whole 'hot coffee' thing hit before Rockstar even released the Xbox version, which thus made the Xbox version that came out ummmm 'cold coffee'.

I mean, I believe I remember the stink over the mod coming out in mid to late 05 or so. I may be wrong on that, but if I am, I do apologize.

[quote name='TEH WIKIPEDIAS'] Although the "Hot Coffee" minigame was completely disabled and its existence was only highlighted after the mod's release for the PC version in June 9, 2005,[1] the assets for the minigame were also discovered in both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, and people found ways to enable the minigame via console video game hacking tools. By the middle of July 2005, the minigame's discovery attracted considerable controversy from lawmakers and politicians, prompting the game to be re-rated as an adult game, and pulled from some shelves. An updated version of San Andreas has since been released with the minigame removed completely, allowing the game to regain its original rating. A patch for the original version of the game, which disables the minigame and crashes the game if one attempts to access it, has also been released.[2]
