$175 for a modded PSOne and 20 games

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/tag/312903221.html

this guy wants $350 for his collection. Has some good stuff but not worth that much

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ele/310994017.html

This guy thinks memory card exploit with no harddrive makes his used PS2 worth $160

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/ele/310368588.html

this guy thinks a used slim ps2 with third party memory cards and controllers and remote is worth $185

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/ele/310060286.html
this guy thinks a used slim ps2 with accessories is worth $175

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/emd/312778713.html
This guy has some real rare stuff, too bad he wants more than ebay price. His listing has been up for a while and he sold 1 game.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']What's outrageous about it? No price was listed unless you mean he's trying to sell a DS Phat as a "Newer DS"[/quote]

$600 is listed in the title of the listing.
 
[quote name='scsg75']$600 is listed in the title of the listing.[/quote]

Beat me to it. $600 for a DS and a bunch of cheap-o games.

He's been trying to sell his stuff for a VERY long time, could be close to half a year now.[/QUOTE]

I don't think that is bad, it's not like it is hurting him to have it all listed, it's like times when I'll list rare dvds on amazon marketplace for extremely high prices if none other are listed...and guess what sometimes you find that desperate person and it sells, if not you are only out a couple minutes of your time.

When you start asking for $50 for King of Fighter or Grandia 2, you are too over priced. I can get most of the games a lot cheaper from ebay stores or amazon marketplace.
 
alright, I just gotta pass this along
I found a listing that said : XBOX 360 premium - $300

The description says:
X-box very new cond. will all original ppers, box, cords, comes with 3 games cabela's hunting game, TWO WIRELESS CONTROLLERS, THIS IS THE CORE SYSTEM & WAS PURCHASED FOR $400 PLUS THE GAMES 3* $50 PLUS $40 EXTRA REMOTE SO ITS A GOOD DEAL AND IM NOT TRYING TO MAKE ANY MONEY OFF IT, BUT WOULD LIKE TO GET SOMETHING BACK. SO IF INTERESTED CALL 425 315 2796

I email her: you advertise in the heading as it being a premium then state that it's a core in the details. figure it out.

Her reply: are just being a jackass about it, or are you interested in the thing?? Its my husbands im selling it for him, so excuse me for not knowing the technical terms on the video game BS, maybe if you pull your head out of your ass and realize that people have other things to do it life than just sit around & play video games then you'd understand not many people know all the xbox terminology. From my ad I hope you at least gathered its the Newest xbox and it comes with the god father and open season too if I didn't list that.


God I hate people.

You were kinda being a jackass, she made a mistake, no need to
be a jerk about it.

If she was so unknowing about the different types of XBOX's why did she state premium in the title and use the term "core" in the description?
 
There's not a single wii locally that's less than $375CAD. Gouge city! It ranges up to $800 for the unit alone. Dolts.

There is, however, "PLAYSTATION 3 MUST SELL TONIGHT - $150". Hmm. I wonder why tonight?

Hi I need this money tonight.

Intriguing.
 
A response to a "Looking for old games" ad I put up:

hi i might have something you defenty buy off me i have a game has 1000 old atari games build in controler it cost me $100.00 brand new sell it no if/ands/but $100.00 because valuable system 1000 old games build in controler no cartrages plug&play if intrested pleas call me at ...

Aparently an Atari Flashback or one of those bootleg things from the flea market. I responded with fake enthusiasm:

Wow I am very interested! Its just a controller? How can that be?! It must be worth thousands!

All sarcasm was lost, however, and at my feigned interest the scammer obviously smelled blood in the water:

hi i'm vinnie's mom my son made a mistake i brought game for $900.00 it valuable now it has build in 1000 games i sell it for not $100.00 like he said it'd valuable but $900.00 no less all games build in controller mint condition please call we explane better over phone to you number here is...

Hahaha. Fake interest = 9x jump in price. Of course, I was still getting a chuckle, so:

$900 is a bargain! I'm still eager to purchase it, but I'm having trouble getting through on your line. Can you tell me what Atari games it has? I need to play E.T. for Atari, its supposed to be really good!

And then...

it has every game including YOU WANT E.T. THE NEXT TERESTRAL it's there ans some older nintdo games build into it like super mario brothers you must gome here see it i can call you expaine to you about it if you have a phone i can call you please give me your number i got unlimited local/long distance so i can contact you
please email me back your name/number to expaime

However, someone was coming to buy it for $1500 that day if I didn't match that in cash. Its a shame I missed that opportunity! They found something else, though...

hi i'm sorry but a lady came today with $1.800 all cash so the game is sold she was very very happy she never ever seen a 1000 games build in controller the she was amazed 1000 games build in arginal games she came from the state CONN. she put her car on ferry the drove rest of the way i'm very sorry but it was more offered plus not loosing out i told you rush it valuable it wouldn't be here long i might be selling my SEGA GENISIS 16-BITS game mint condition i called sega asked them how much can i sell it for they said sir you have ariginal sega it valuable try $600.00 machine/controlers/power adapter/wire goes to tv they no make sega genesis 16 bits any more then i have 50 greate sega tapes i asked sega how much tapes i make they said mint condition $10.00 per peace i sell whole thing ALL CASH NO WIRE TO BANK $1.400 no lower please let me know if intrested in sega i can make photos of games and attach them if you request that please email

I countered with an offer of $2500 if they could ship to me in Nigeria, then they called me a scammer and stopped responding to my emails.

Its a shame, though. I missed out on an ariginal Sega with tapes!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ahhh man, that is just classic. If the misspelling of every other word wasn't intentional on their part, I'd have to say that if the shoe were on the other foot, you could offer them a dog turd and call it a 'rare collectors item' for $1000 and they'd bite.

That reminds me of the person locally who had Breath Of Fire IV and the guide for it on CL. Every time I asked about completeness, I would state what I meant. And every time, they would respond with 'it has some scratches, but they all play'. It amazes me how some people who post ads online remember to even breathe on a daily basis.
 
Trying to find a good video game deal on Craigslist is like trying to find hay in a needle stack. It hurts and everyone is a prick.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']That's ridiculously high for a DS Phat and clearance games[/quote]

Yup, that's why I posted the link here.
 
http://miami.craigslist.org/ele/319143237.html - Modded XBOX for $300

http://miami.craigslist.org/tag/307804752.html - Unmodded XBOX with cheap games for $330. To sweeten the deal, 2 Two Month Free Trials he 'purchased' for $50 each.

http://miami.craigslist.org/tag/292952630.html - Wii with LoZ:TP for $528. I know the Wii is still hard to find but this is just ridiculous, at least others are selling it near ebay prices.

And my favorite of all

http://miami.craigslist.org/tag/294644957.html - PSP for $272. Remember though "You Save: 32% ($128.00) Not even in ebay you get this deal". New but is missing everything but the PSP and charger.
 
[quote name='sp00ge']http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/ele/318894918.html - Guitar Hero 2 (360) $150


Funny, I was at walmart yesterday and they had 4 in stock. It's not exactly rare. :roll:[/quote]

You know, I wonder sometimes how stupid people can be when they try to sell things like this, but then I remember that there are other people out there who are probably stupid enough to buy it.

I need urgent cash!!!
 
The worst are the listings that say something like "PS1 plus 20 games."

Then you get to the post and there's no list of games...
 
Some jackass offered me fifty bucks for an 4GB lime green nano + wall and car charger + one of those stereo dock thingies for it + a case.

Grand Theft Auto 3 PS2 - new and $20.

Game Boy Color with link cable and case - $30!


http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tag/308759863.html


WANTED - PS2 games: Hello, I am looking for any of the following Playstation 2 games in EXCELLENT CONDITION (complete and no scratches) for my personal collection. I am looking for the black label games and not the greatest hits versions. I am not looking to spend more than $10 a game. Price will depend on the game title. Let me know if you can help. Later.

(I know about ebay but it is too expensive with the fees and shipping costs)


Among the list (I had to stop, list was too extensive):
Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia
Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Fatal Frame III: The Tormented
hack//Mutation Part 2
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
 
Some people seem to think there is some big storehouse of stuff and buy requesting things on craigslist they will automatically get it no matter how ridiculous the request. Kind of like that kid on here awhile back requesting a DS for $10-$30
 
Here's one more!

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/ele/319953487.html

Have 6 ps1's available no controls or power cables all tested and working you can see before you buy. 25.00 each or 120.00 for all 6 this prise is firm!!!
There will be no bargain on this sale Sorry

:lol: :dunce: :rofl:

Grab them quick while this "sale" lasts! Someone's got to have a use for an unspecified PSX or PS1 unit with no cables, that's probably beat to hell.

I'm not really sure what he means by "no bargain" if he is offering, in his own mind, an incentive - a supposed savings off his retail price of $30.

He knows this because that's exactly where they're going when he gets them.
 
I had Guitar Hero II with guitar listed on there for $60 at one point, one person offered me $25. I obviously didn't even answer them back. I ultimately sold both the PS2 ones on there for $100, which was fine since I didn't have to deal with shipping and they picked it up.

Actually, I thought FF 3 was cheap @ GC? I know I saw it listed in some thread a while back and mentioned it to my one friend who was looking for it.
 
This kid posts these games every couple days, usually begging someone to buy them. I feel kind of bad for him...but $60 for 3 crappy used PS2 games is silly. His last ad before the latest one (since deleted by him) was really sad..."Please someone buy these, I need money, they've only been played 2 times. I'll be waiting to hear from you....please someone!!!" something like that. This latest one isn't as pathetic, but still sad.
