Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

[quote name='jmbreci']I just had to add this since it must be an update...the 64-bit Sega Genesis.

http://omaha.craigslist.org/vgm/1990634122.html


64 High Bit SEGA GENESIS game system, 1 controller, one fighter stick, extra cable extension, code book,
GAMES: Sonic, Mario Lemieux Hockey, technocop, The Lawnmower Man

Wow...and to think he took pictures of the Genesis....guess he must have 4 of them. :)[/QUOTE]

About five years ago my oldest daughters friend was talking to me about games and claimed to have played a 64bit Genesis growing up. Is the poster's name Sam? He swore up and down and even made a bet that there was such a thing. I said there was an add on adapter (32x) but no, he wasn't convinced until he couldn't find anything online.

RE: The Walking Dead #1 (comic book)/grade 9.9 - $2500(hollywood blvd) (la-la land aka Lunatic Town)

Date: 2010-10-08, 9:56AM PDT
Reply to: see below



This Hollywood Blvd. dope fiend can't be serious. Too much crack, meth, and heroin have addled his pea brain obviously. It's not even CGC graded ("not CGC'd"), yet he wants FIVE TIMES what a CGC 9.8-10.0 would go for. Lay off the pipe homie! Apparently this is a "9.9" according to the Andy Crackhead School of Comic Book Grading.

And what, even if you could find an idiot sucker to pay even HALF what you're asking and bring you $1K + IN CASH, you going to just arrange a meeting in some alley off of Hollywood Blvd. where you can shank his ass and steal his money? $$$$a please! This is a meth-head master plan if I've ever seen one.

Serious collectors who know their SHIT, HAHAHAHA!!! Serious collectors who know their shit wouldn't waste their time with the likes of you, Andy.

NES games for sale. I’ve had them for probably 20 years and they all worked last time I played them, but I don’t have the console anymore. I looked on Amazon and these are common prices for the used cartridges, no box. I’ll take $50 for all. Cartridges and labels are clean, no writing or big scratches, just dusty.

Super Mario Bros $20
So if I have multiple copies of Super Mario Bros, I could sell them for hundreds? =P



I originally thought he meant $30 for all of it... hah. Should have known better.

Red Xbox 360 Elite Custom LEDS - $80 (Des Moines)

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

PERFECT working Elite xbox 360 never had any RROD issues at all. I have owned for 6 months. Has a custom Red case and still has black faceplate. The Ring of light has been modified and now has red lights glowing instead of the factory green for the added red effect. It is fully functional xbox 360 it DOES NOT have RROD lol it glows red all the time now. This is my 2nd xbox so all i have is the power brick and cords for it no hard drive or anything else and the price reflects that. I will also take trade ins of broken xbox 360 consoles 515-729-XXXX

I smell something fishy...

I've stopped playing xbox mostly and I'm selling most of my games. I'm not compltely sure on the prices so it'll either be best offer or first offer if its a dese first offer. resonance of fate-35- list price in stores 55, Halo Odst- 25 dollars-list price used 30 and Borderlands-20 dollars- list price 30 dollars. I'll deliver pretty much whenever if im not at school or at soccer since I live out in the countryish. email me and ill get back to you. or text at
XXXXXXXXX
Probably nobodys really heared of resonance of fate.. but its a game that pretty much all of the work went into the fighting and its actually a pretty cool game once you get the hang of it but is kinda hard to figure out at first.


Have any of you heard of some Resonance of Fate game? Must be pretty rare, and all the work went into fighting.

This guy is trying to scam me on CL for a FNV CE. He's trying to get me to take a certified check and then have a local "trusted shipper" ship it to him.
My reply to his refusal to give me the name of the shipper:
Ok. Well here's my name and address and phone:

Leroy Jenkins
********
Ravenna, OH 44266

Phone: 330-282-0762 (my google voice # so I can screen all calls :D )

This is my step dad's email account, so that's why it's a different name.

EDIT: his reply:
Thank you for making me your favorite buyer. I will like you to
consider the item sold and remove it from craigslist right now. I
will get back with the tracking # of the payment asap.

I'm going to tell my dad that if someone shows up asking about Leroy Jenkins to shoot him and then call the cops. :D
 
LOL!

Here's his next email:
Thanks for the information,the payment has been put on processing and will get
to you next week .i would like to let you know that the shipper
fund was included to your money on the payment which make it $1500,so
when you get the payment you have it cashed ,deduct
your certain amount $140 and another $60 for your running around cost
during the transaction.... then you would
have the rest fund sent out to the mover via Western Union/ Money
gramme.....ocs.
He would be using part of the money to transport himself
down to your location and use the rest to pick up the item at your end
and other items to be picked up in the neighborhood and deliver them
to me altogether.

I believe i can trust you to have the difference sent out to my mover

I look forward to hearing from you soon ....

Have a nice day.

THANKS
 
Ugh, I hate those things. We have friggin people all day long who fall for those things. I feel bad because it's usually uneducated people or elderly/disabled persons who are either in really tough spots financially or trust in people too much. Nothing is worse than seeing someone who's elderly or disabled get sucked into that. We do our best to question people when we see checks like that, but you can't spot them all, and some still insist you go ahead with it. Luckily most listen to reason and either don't deposit them or will wait our recommended 3-4 weeks to make sure it doesn't come back (it always does) before sending money to the people. Unfortunately, they still have to pay a chargeback fee.

DON'T CASH THAT CHECK! I almost fell for this scam awhile back when I sold an item on Facebook marketplace. The check will most likely be fake. The way it works is you try to cash it and your bank will flag your account for trying to cash a fraudulent check. If that check comes, I recommend not cashing it at all. It will really hurt your reputation with your bank if you try to cash a fake check with them.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/vgm/2018914549.html

(I posted this once before, I pulled it down because some really mean guy thought I was posting for a boyfriend who was the one who really wanted the stuff.... UNTRUE! I want you to all know I am not some woman posting to get a man help, *I* am a gamer, I LOVE playing. I just need some help getting back on my feet with it from the ex husband screwing me over so badly when I left him for my safety) So, I'm struggling to get by as is, I JUST got a new xbox 360(ex husband stole mine and broke it when I told him to move out and I wanted a divorce based on his temper and constant verbal abuse) my birthday is on the 17th, so a good friend gave me his 360 elite since he has another one and he has a PS3. AMAZING. I a HUGE gamer. Oblivion, Assassins Creed, Fable 2, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock, Far Cry 2 etc. I'm not the gross ugly "larper" or whatever those weirdos are LOL I think it might be "L.A.R.P"...hell I don't know haha. I'm a pretty petite awesome 26 year old woman, so don't think you'd be donating to your typical female gamer. No offense to those who are. Sorry if I offended any woman, but it's true. I'm not the stereotypical lol.

Anyways, I JUST got another 360 a year after he trashed mine, for a birthday present. He gave me a code for 1 month of Gold and I DON'T want to lose my xbox live!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, I can't afford to pay right now. If you can afford to get a 3, 6, year whatever gold subscription for me, I'd owe you forever. I'd be SO happy. HOPEFULLY somebody has an unredeemed code laying around somewhere they can give me without having to spend. I also can do a promissory IOU note where I pay you back if need be.

Also willing to be given or loaned any awesome games I can play, since I don't have very many anymore. MY DREAM is to be able see if anybody can go donate to my pre-ordered collectors addition of Fallout New Vegas AND Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.(I put the couple dollars down with the birthday check from my grandma(woohoo $30 was PERFECT because it was $15 each game to pre-order) But I won't be able to pay them off when it's time. Money can be just put onto my account towards the games at the GameStop in (UP/Tacoma by Trader Joes) If just a couple people could put just a few dollars down on either game at that gamestop under my name by the time the 2 games come out I will be able to get them! I'll sign IOU's ANYTHING! I'll meet you there.... anything. I want these special editions/games period, SOOO badly. They come out Oct/Nov. With any IOU I sign I can agree to pay back fully within 3-4 months AT THE MOST I will have you fully paid back if you want to do it that way, I'm fine wih i. ANYTHING. I just really want those 2 games SO badly, I'm still struggling, haven't got on my feet after the DV and other forms of abuse and him taking everything worth money, and emptying all of our bank accounts so I got nothing, I had to move, etc. SOOOOOO.... I just haven't gotten it all back together financially yet. Close, but no quite. I neeeeeed the XBOX live gold membership badly, since the few games I have and am playing need online play. If you can help let me know with what and how you want to do it, and give me a good number and time to reach you. I truly can show you my disability award letter showing I make Less than $350 a month ... which proves I can't afford to buy anything and was lucky to be given a 360 from my friend for my birthday last month. Also, can check my gamer score and you'd see it's obviously a new 360 to me. Whatever proof you want I'm real, not scamming, etc.

Thanks so much!"

I wouldn't even bother cashing it. You'll end up with a chargeback fee when the check bounces and owe the bank like $10 or so for it. It's not in your best interest to do that. If you really want to check the validity, you can call the bank it's drawn off of (typically it's a business check drawn off of some random mid-western bank with a company name or personal name that doesn't match the person you're getting it from) and they can sometimes tell you if there are funds available. Chances are, you aren't the first person to get a check from that account and it may have already been closed for fraud. OR, google the check and see if others have reported having issues with it on one of the many fraud based websites.
