Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

Sonsofbitches. My car was broken into the other night... :mad:

They tried to steal my fucking radio, but didn't realize it electronically flips down. They thought that part was the faceplate, ripped it into pieces, left my car a mess, stole my wallet, left the CD player, and bolted. Assholes.

Ah bro, you should never leave your wallet in your car!!

I know! I know! But I drive a sports car, and I went to the drive-thru. Not only is it near impossible to put my wallet back in my pocket sitting in those bucket seats, but those fuckers hand you your change and your food at the same time and like rush you off, so I put it in the center console and forgot.

lmao is this guy serious?[/QUOTE]

That price he's asking is just ridiculous and can't be serious... that thing really wouldn't even sell for $20...Maybe $10-$15 to a kid who doesn't know any better, seriously he'd be lucky to get more that $5 for it.
I still got my Ice Blue one tho hahaha. Not worth it to sell since It's not worth much.
 
You know, some of these ads might be deliberately overpriced because you know everyone who responds will automatically offer less.

And I'm not talking about the "Your item that's $250 brand new that you're selling for $100 brand new, will you take $5?" CL responders.

You want $60 so you say it's $80 expecting someone to ask for a lower price.
 
[quote name='Ye0ldmario']Oh yeah right. Here, take my $2,000 50" sony LCD, your art project is very important.[/QUOTE]

Ok, now you're being the idiotic one here. The dude isn't asking for a 2,500 lcd tv and he realizes that someone in their right mind would give that away. He's asking for BROKEN electronics and he even has pictures of 4 broken electronics at the bottom of his page

XBOX with 8 GAMES!! and controllers - $175 (upper arlington/ columbus)
Date: 2009-08-09, 11:39PM EDT
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

Ok so the XBOX works just fine , and is in great condition
The 8 games are : SSX tricky, NFL Fever 2002, HALO, HALO 2, Splinter Cell, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2x, Counter Strike, Grand Theft Auto III.
Ok so the reason I am making a good price is because I am giving the buyer three controllers, but only one of them works perfectly fine, the other two are not the best controllers, but one of them is in perfect shape. If you are interested give me a call 614-507-****

* Location: upper arlington/ columbus
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Yep, good price belongs in that listing ROFL
 
Edit: Don't email the guy anymore.

Here's some jackassery:

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/1313362309.html

For sale is an Original NES Nintendo System with 2 controllers, 2 light guns, some accessories and 19 games including Bubble Bobble and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. The only problem with the system is that you have to put another game in the top of it because the original spring doesn't work. Other than that it works great!
Click to expand...

There's nothing wrong with the ad except that he only lists a couple of the games. So I decide to send him a simple email

do you have a list of the games?
Click to expand...

Simple and to the point.

Instead of sending back a list of the games, a pic of them or even going "Hey call me and I'll let you know over the phone." he goes:

Sir,

Not right now. There's nothing particularly special or rare, you won't find that "undiscovered gem" in my collection. But thank you for the short, rude response. Please don't contact me anymore.

Good Day,

Curtis
Click to expand...

Asshole mode enabled. I respond

All I did was ask a simple question you jackass. I'm sorry that I didn't attempt to perform fellatio on you while you sung high praises of your NES collection. If it's that important to you, then don't bother to sell it.
Click to expand...

Edit:

he apologized

Hey, man. I apologize. I forgot myself for a moment. And I'm not trying to make amends to make a sale, I wouldn't feel comfortable at this point, but I did want to make an effort to apologize, I shouldn't have been such a dick. That was really immature.

Take care,

C

Ha ha! Crazy bastard! I'm doing it right now. (Seriously.)

Simply "do you have a list of the games?".

No capitalization, no "Hey,".

Wait, what was your subject?

Well, I posted this story on another board and he also got email assaulted by them. So no worries.

He sent out the apology and form email around the same time.

Ah. Well, I don't feel so bad. This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been an ass in the first place.
 
Lol. I got the same copied and pasted response. There you go, Kuros, there's your list.

He did warn you, though, no "undiscovered gems". Lol.

Ninja Gaiden is the most valuable one in there, and it's worth, what, $6 loose?

Actually, bubble Bobble would sell for the most, that usually will get 12-15 loose. Then SMB2 will typically get 8-10 then Ninja Gaiden.

Right, my brain instantly skipped over the usual "rarities" since Bubble Bobble 2 and SMB 3 are way more desirable. At least for me.

You know I am good for going off on a tangent in this forum. I get this all the time with my ebay account -- "Would you be willing to put a buy-it-now on your Earthbound
(in new condition)
for $40
(I always start high end stuff off at $.01)
? I would buy it at that price.:whistle2:k

Or better still, on a N64 in great condition with 2 controllers and two starter sports games. "I would be willing to buy this for the buy it now price of $30 if you included say
Mario Kart
and
Conker's Bad Fur Day
." I bet you would!!! fuck
 
Wow CL_Insanity, does that shit really happen on eBay? People can't seriously send you requests like that...if so, that is simply unbelievable. As bad as the worst craigslist lowballs.

Are you allowed to tell them to go fuck themselves?

wii guitar hero world tour - $160 (Irvine)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]



I have a 99% new in the box wii guitar hero world tour. I already have one and love it, the drums broke so I went to Target and bought a new set, I tried to return my set with the receipt but they would only exchange it, so I exchanged it for a brand new set. Before I left they opened it so I couldn't simply return it later. So it is a brand new unused set. I can't return it but I can show you my receipt, it is all in original packaging etc. I don't mind taking a loss because I got the new drum set. Target got the broken set and I am left with another new set . We both win! 949 xxx xxxx

You can. But you have to be mighty diplomatic about it. Such as "Sure, I can add Conker's and Mario Kart to the N64 console. The buy-it-now price will be $80. Do you need the new item number?" :booty:

Not to go into a diatribe, but much like you have to think of craigslist as the K-Mart of ebay... you might think of ebay as the Saks Fifth Avenue of craigslist... so the stupidity and lowballing are on a much grander scale.

As far as the lowballers on ebay -- I thinks it's the old "throw enough darts and you are bound to hit at least one bullseye" mentality.

Reminds me of finding EARTHBOUND in a super nintendo lot.... The lady had it priced at 80 plus shipping... and I haggled her down to 75 with free shipping... the other 8 games and Super Nintendo console were a nice bonus.

".... but there was that other time at band camp" when yours truly left Earthbound at the thrift store and picked up Yoshi's Cookie because "that big a$$ box will be a :nottalking: to ship!" :wall:

I don't have a problem with this. Sure, trying to sell a lot of previous generation games for $5 each is absurd on CAG, but someone may see "$5" and think it's a great deal, and the seller comes out ahead. This isn't like trying to sell a used Super Nintendo with no games for $100.

It's not the seller's fault if people who frequent Ebay and CL a lot can't spend an extra 20 seconds to price search elsewhere on the world wide web.

You see I don’t really care how cheap you can get a cable for and that’s not what im looking to do..

Its asshole’s like you that keep this country in the toilet! You would rather give your business to the Chinese by purchasing some cheap ass cable online! I lost my job last year and I put this deal together so I could make ends meat! It has taken me over 6 months to build this thing up and you post some stupid crap like this!
Maybe the next time you lose your job or you know of someone that looses his job you will be a little more compassionate… I feel sorry for you…

So hes trying to make ends "meat" but He gave his business away for nothing and hes trying to sell overpriced cables hmmmmmm.
 
Wow, that is hilarious. So because the guy is ripping people off less, it's perfectly acceptable? "I RIP PEOPLE OFF ONLY HALF AS MUCH AS BEST BUY, AND I DELIVER THE RIPOFF RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR!!!" :lol::applause:

And where the fuck does he think HIS cables are coming from? America? Give me a break!!!

No doubt they are manufactured in China or somewhere comparable as well.

But hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do when you "loose" your job and need to make ends "meat".

I love how his ramblings degenerate into a series of anti-Chinese and "YOU ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GREAT COUNTRY" tirades and recriminations. Dude lost his job...hmmm, I wonder why? Couldn't possibly be HIS fault and HIS responsibility. Though judging from his crazy, run-on filled manifesto, I'd say his mental state is highly suspect. but nope, it's because of people like YOU, Juan Grande.

As for the PS3 games, a simple "wtf?" will suffice. Those are higher than those games cost brand new right now.
