Panzer Dragoon Saga for sega saturn - $40 (los angeles)

Chronologically, Panzer Dragoon Saga’s story is the third in sequence. It takes place after Panzer Dragoon Zwei and the original Panzer Dragoon, but before Panzer Dragoon Orta.
Comes on 4 disk , A must own title for the Sega Saturn.
This is sought after by collectors and goes for 100.00 or more on ebay for original.
But if all you want is the gameplay i have it for 40.00 these are back ups from my originals
so quality is perfect, dont ask how to play them on sega saturn ,if not familiar with back ups and how to boot them
Google it.
 
[quote name='Prof Elvin Gadd']Lol I emailed him and told him I was leaving at around 3:30. I just got an email from him saying "what happened". He wanted me to meet at a Pizza Hut instead. I'm gonna wait a bit and tell him I was there waiting for him and later email him that I think I went to the wrong pizza hut. He's not too bright so he should buy that story and then I'm gonna tell him that I'm not willing to drive out there anymore. I'll tell him to get a ride to Mission Viejo[/QUOTE]

You know, if this kid ever Googled his e-mail address, he'd come across this entire thread. :)

Awesome.

LOL. As far as the Burbank trader, he wanted the following games (I'm VERY surprised he didn't ask for everything from the list I sent him, seeing as how that list consisted of almost every high demand/rare RPG. I think I'm going to drop the "I just checked out the values on vgpc.com and my stuff is worth WAAAAAY more than yours" bomb on him:

Breath of Fire IV
Brigandine
Final Fantasy VII
Vagrant Story
Valkyrie Profile

And I told him I wanted these:

Final Fantasy Anthology
Final Fantasy Chronicles
Final Fantasy Origins
Final Fantasy VIII (Missing Manual)
Final Fantasy IX
Parasite Eve (Missing Manual and Collector's CD)
Resident Evil Director's Cut
Resident Evil 2 (Missing Manual)
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis
RPG Maker
Silent Hill

-------------------

So he responds to me:

Is there any way you can toss in another game? Not really interested in the Lunar Stories as I've played them and never really got too far and my brother is currently playing Arc the Lad so I'll get that when he's done.
 
lmfao I asked dude how I would pay him and he responded by giving me his address and telling me to mail him a check or money order. I emailed him back saying I don't have a checking account so I'd only be able to get the game by meeting up with him in Santa Ana.
 
Dammit this dude won't leave his house lol. He told me to send the money in an envelope and I told him I didn't wanna do that and I'd give him extra money to come here. Then he sends me this:

ill be here , let me know when you will make it, anytime......

I asked him how much extra he'll want to come out here
 
Real or illegal copies?

I am a computer tech and have software that I use to load computers when I build them.I just got my dvds for this month. I have windows vista premium, xp pro service pack 1 and office 2007 enterprise DVD's for sale. I ask 25 each on them. I only got 2 copies of each in this month but again dont have any computers to build so i dont need them. These versions are a little different than retail versions but perform the same and have all the same features. Email me with any questions and i will explain the difference between a tech copy and oem copy I am free all day today so if you want one ill be free most of the day so you can pick it up. I ususally email back pretty quick so if you email me stick around your email for a fews mins and you will probably get a reply. I wont hold these for anyone first come first serve.

Who are you telling!!!??? :hot:

In Vegas, I see about four right now... and they keep reposting with the same games, the same price, and even in different formats. They just won't budge on the inflated price. The worst is when you see the games listed in the previous ad, and you can tell they got "cherry picked" and put the lesser games up on the next ad with the same inflated price. I can almost "hear" their thinking....
"Well, if Chrono Trigger and Super Mario World were worth $20

together, the SNES and 10 sports games HAS to be worth $100 still!!!"

I have castlevania sotn for playstation 1. It is in awesome shape and works perfectly. This is a very hard game to find. You can find them for $75 or more on other sites, I am selling mine for $45. Your not going to be able to find this game anywhere else at this price. I have a pic but it won't let me upload it so just email me and I will send it to you.

Don't get me started on all the people who sell modded consoles and try to charge money for the bootleg games included. I've seen $500 modded 360s that had no legit games, just numerous copies. Someone tried to sell a Dreamcast for $200 because it had some burned emulator discs with it.

Then again, I no longer see high-priced copies of Final Fantasy VII. Around the time the game was posted to the PSN for $10, people were in a hurry to unload their copies for whatever they could get.

Not to mention the people who try to sell their wii's for $500 just because they add a few crappy third party titles and some $10 accesories from the discount store. Or just because they modded it for homebrew they wanna charge you for roms you can get for nothing.

People sadly pay for that kind of stuff because they are either too lazy/stupid to do it themselves. Or they think "Wow, I'll never have to buy another game again" and buy it.

Either way I could care less if you pirate stuff for your own usage, but when you try to make money on something that someone else made then that's where I draw the line.
 
If they're telling the truth I feel kinda bad for them... hasn't this been $20 NEW for a year, or even longer!?

Xbox 360 Backups, Poor Burns, Garbage Quality - $8 (Pomona ca, 91767)

Date: 2009-08-18, 12:53PM PDT
Reply to: see below



"[email protected]"

"First thing i want to say is, you get much less than what you pay for. My games may cost a few dollars more than other people listed but i have not had a single complaint about quality. I use the best equipment around. Furthermore, I offer the quickest service around i have almost 50 games that can be ready in an hour or receiving the order. I base what i do on the needs of the customer, what makes the customer happy is what works."

XBOX 360 Back Up Games. 100% Stealth Patched. XBOX LIVE SAFE! 1.5 ixtreme or better required. I use Verbatim Disks because they are the best. With that said, I do test out EVERY game i sell. So if you get banned, well I am right there with you. [email protected]=--=-

LIES.

The above text was written by a scammer named Omar who lives in Pomona. Several people including myself bought games from him & a lot of them didn't work. They were scratched or burned wrong. Some of the disks weren't even Verbatim, they were Memorex. He relies on the fact that he sticks stupid off-center paper labels onto the disks to hide the brand. They look terrible and he also uses the cheapest dvd case you will ever see in your life. He doesn't respond to emails or phone calls after he's screwed you over. He doesn't actually know how patching works and actually had to beg other backup sellers to teach him how to do it. He doesn't really know what he's doing and he's exhausted all the buyers in his home area so that is why he has turned to a mail-order business.

If you buy from this idiot, you deserve to get screwed over.

Omar drives a Silver Nissan Exterra and his number is (909) 895-9548.

All good trustable sellers will allow you to meet at their home or come to you to test the games as a demonstration that they work. Omar won't do that, insists on meeting at gas stations, etc. when he sold to his local area, until no one else would buy from him anymore due to his reputation as a scammer and liar.

Why do you think he's from Pomona but advertises in ORANGE COUNTY?

Buy only from local sellers who will personally prove that the games work.

Good luck out there.

Original XBOX w/extras - $25 (Costa Mesa)

Date: 2009-08-18, 1:01PM PDT
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]



I am selling my original XBOX. Comes with a few games (Counter Strike and Burnout 3), 2 controllers, 2 wireless controllers, Cables, and whatever other crap I'm probably forgetting. I originally paid over a hundred for it.

Condition:
Sometimes, as with all XBOX systems, it can't read discs. Just clean the disc or whatever and try again, it works eventually. Also the cable looks like it has been eaten by a rat; nevertheless, it still works perfectly.

Selling this because I'm over video games for the most part. Especially Xbox, and even more especially, playstation. Nintendo, too. Although I still bust out my SNES once in a while or my ps2.

If interested, send me and email and I'll respond pretty quickly; I have nothing better to do.

http://wichita.craigslist.org/sys/1324945226.html[/QUOTE]

They're no doubt MSDN subscription copies. Official copies from Microsoft for developers to use and test with, usually with the licensing disabled (hence the difference between the OEM/consumer copies). Undoubtedly the subscription is purchased by the guy's company and he is trying to (illegally) steal and flip them. HUGE no-no in the licensing agreement and subscription contract.

Now though, the MSDN subscription is handled almost entirely through direct downloads from Microsoft. They used to send out these binders and just tons and tons of CDs/DVDs of practically their entire software and OS catalog as part of the MSDN subsciption. I find it odd that he is still receiving physical media from them, as I simply have to log in with my MSDN subscription/subscriber's code on the MSDN site and then can simply download anything and everything directly from their host servers. Perhaps they still have a few subscribers who request the physical media and/or claim they are unable to download for whatever reason.

As sad as it sounds this guy may be the person responsible for tracking/distributing of software for his company. I have an MSDN subscription but still receive physical media from them. I believe b/c I'm the contact for software. But as you stated their is no need for it b/c I'll just download what I want to use/test directly from their site. Maybe this guy is stealing them from his company? Either way for $25 a copy he is a moron that will get caught for this.

Thats why I asked instead of accusing him. It makes sense that M$ would send out copies of their software for evaluation purposes. I just think he'd be better off maybe posting a pic so we know they aren't cd-r copies. In fact, I think I'll just do that now. :)

EDIT:

Here's your answer boys. Completely illegal copies.
they are made by a friend who writes software he burns them on a dvd. They are not oem microsoft but do have keys that will pass the genuine software test and allow for updates. They also will work for multiple installs not just one like an oem
