Haha I'm starting to like this thread...

Craigslist is really becoming a pain in my ass as both a buyer and seller. A couple new people have recently come on the scene... this one guy keeps trying to sell hacked devices, but won't mention it or dances around it unless you really pry them. Everytime I see a great deal with video games I send an email and it always turns out being the same guy, obviously selling the same hacked crap.

As a seller, I constantly find myself dealing with this annoying "sympathy buyer". Every time I list a game/system for sale, I get an email from them asking if they can have it for a ridiculous price because money is tight, and their son really wants one, blah blah blah. It's copy-and-paste BS(like I said, I get it with almost every listing) and every 2 weeks or so they also put up a "wii request" listing, asking someone to sell them their wii for cheap. I've emailed them about it the first time I saw it(not realize it was them, and I WAS trying to sell my Wii), and of course they give you this goading "well, this guy is going to sell me his for $100, so if you can do better..." crap. This is really what I don't like about Craigslist, it encourages begger habits. This woman doesn't care that I'm keen to her nonsense, what's the worst that will happen? She can repost, and move on. Perhaps I should too... it just annoys me to think that some innocent person might be buying into it. I should probably make an arrangement and not show up.

Just block the lowballing douchebag's email address, and if you come across beggar requests posted like that, just flag them. Usually they get flagged off pretty quickly.

hahahaha nice. Did you dignify it with a response?

I suppose Blu-Ray players have about 1/5 of the power consumption of a PS3 when playing Blu-Rays but still. That 4/5 more equals video game goodness...

i use craigslist. i still didnt get any offer for my 360 controller :(
its brand new.. i just want 2 ps3 games for it dont need to be popular games but people wants to pay $10 for my unopen controller ._.

the reason i use craigslist cause i would prefer to meet up than just mail stuff out
 
It would depend on the games, it isn't that hard getting some 10 dollar ps3 game from a clearance or another, 20 bucks for I assume a wireless controller out of pocket

Hello to all of you selling your Wii systems. I am interested in buying 1 however I don't have alot of money to spend. I can offer $100.00 today for a working Wii system. I know that isn't alot, but used systems are selling for as low as 149.00. I just don't have the extra. So if anyone out there has a system and is in terrible need for money please let me know.

I doubt anyone will bite when you're offering less than Gamestop.

Hi all. The only thing my 9 y.o. daughter wants for Christmas is a NINTENDO DS. We just don't have the funds to buy a brand new one, and thought maybe someone would have a gently used one for sale. Maybe you're getting a new system for Christmas? Please let me know if you have one or know where I might purchase one. Thanks for reading, and Merry Christmas!

You mean the ones that sell for about double what you're offering?

The more I look at the wanted section, I can see why so many people get lowball offers.

I sent doucheface there an email...I don't think he liked what I had to say. He simply couldn't face the truth of the matter that he is asking 8 times that bundle's value, and decided to throw a tantrum.

My original email:

X-BOX COMPLETE SYSTEM WITH 39 GAMES.. (north jersey)


Hey, I'm just trying to figure out how you came up with $325 as not only your asking price, but as a FIRM asking price?

Because used XBoxes are practically worthless, they can't even give them away at every Gamestop in the country. Same with most of the games. Particularly the ones you list, which are mostly racing and sports games. The vast majority of your games sell for a couple to a few bucks, at best, used.

"GAMES ALONG (ALONE) ARE WORTH MORE THEN (THAN) THE PRICE..."

Come on, who the hell do you think you're going to fool? You will NEVER sell your XBox at anywhere near the price you are asking. EVER. Even if it was an XBox 360 with those same shitty games. I suggest you look on gamestop's website as to the prices for used copies of the games you are selling, along with a used XBox price...or even better, find out how little you'd get in trade-in value for that pile. Then adjust your price accordingly.

Oh man, I'm having a wonderful 'discussion' with that guy, absolutely hilarious. Hope he enjoys his new emails too.

Found this one, hilarious! Especially since there's a game store nearby that has 6 or 7 sealed copies for $12 or so a piece.

LOL I didn't realize this was the CraigsList trolling thread ;P

I put up an ad for some of my extra guides that are cluttering up the house -- asking about 25-50% of MSRP just for some holiday cash. Some dumbass who goes to my school emails me telling me he wants a Crisis Core guide for $10, says he'll call me (Friday) and never does...

Then I get a phonecall at 6:45 AM from him, drunk off his ass, asking if its the guide or the friggin' game, then starts asking me if I am selling any PSP games...when I tell him i've got a FF Tactics and a Valkyrie Profile for $15 and $20 each, or $30 if he wants both, he starts begging me to give him them for $28. I eventually told him I'd email him and just hung up.

If I hadn't been up scanning photos for my family today, I'd have been even more pissed.

I'm going to have to dig up some other shitty games and take this guy for all he's worth now. Maybe $28 for Harvest Moon and Platypus? Haha...

Well bonus points for trying
 
I sold a used wii that was scratched up, no wii sports, no stand, with just links crossbow training and WITHOUT the gun for it, for 300 cash on craigslist last week. Used wii demand went up for the holiday season. I was going to sell it for 200 months ago because no one gave a damn, but i lost the wii (literally) and found it a week ago in a closet. Craigslist owns.
