[quote name='Drclaw411']Why do Craigslist sellers only buy consoles 6 sports games for their consoles?[/QUOTE]
Like KtMack said, a lot of people buy video game consoles to play just sports games.
Way back when I played little league baseball, my friend on the team had a PlayStation and the only games he had were multiple years of baseball and football, and Gran Turismo.
Also, I can't tell you how many Xbox consoles and PS2 memory cards I've picked up that had nothing but sports saves on them.

its true i've known people like that. i really dont get the joy of playing exclusively sports games. yes i do enjoy sports games sometimes but still there are so many other games out there. and until consoles starting packing massive harddrives sports games used to eat whol memory cards.

[quote name='karkyco']Maybe he meant to he's trying to sell them before he accepts the $5 offer...for all of them. Uncharted 3 excluded.[/QUOTE]
Maybe somebody owes their roommate some back rent and eviction starts at 5 if they don't come up with the case. Same principal can be applied to a drug debt.
BTW, I had my own craigslist stupidity moment the other day. My friends and I had been talking about craigslist experiences and the general stupidity we've encountered. Well, during the middle of the 4th ing quarter of the Super Bowl, this guy calls me up on my google voice number tied to my phone so I picked it up. He wanted to know about some building/construction supplies/material that I had left over from a project that I had a craigslist ad up for. Yes I paused the game but I have people over and I'm in a bit of a catch 22.
I'm thinking to myself, "yeah a potential sale is a sale, but this is the mother ing fourth quarter of an amazing Super Bowl. This guy doesn't sound gay
yes I know it's a stereotype to think that gays don't watch team sports, and that all hetero guys are into football...and that you can tell the sexual orientation of someone by the way they sound on the phone...but I had a few drinks in me so that's what I was thinking
, so why the is he calling me right now?!?"
So we agree on a price and I try to quickly get him off the phone after promising to shortly send him a text message with when and where we can meet for the deal, not at my address thankfully. So after I send him the text, I accidentally send a follow up to him that was the following commentary that I meant to send a group of friends:
"WTF, some guy just called me about a Craigslist ad I got up. A DUDE who was looking for construction material. Didn't sound gay at all. Yet during the 4th quarter of the super bowl he's calling me about this. ???"
Me = #-o#-o
Anyway, met up with the guy the next day no problem. He didn't mention the text and I just pretended it never happened. \"
Hmmm, honestly I kinda like it. Price isn't so horrendous, either. Yes you are paying a premium, but I could probably sell those games and the dogbone controller for $40 (hell, I can sell each of them for $5-10 a piece all day long...and if I recall correctly Tetris 2 with the manual may be worth a bit more, never mind the dogbone) and bring the cost to at most $40 (never mind gas/time) I would be willing to pay for that. Yes it's kinda sorta stupid but something about it is catchy to me. Gears of War NES + NES Advantage, I'd rotate that in and out of display...
As long as the NES and the Advantage work, I'd be down.
Needing to sell asap Xbox 360 with alot of extras - $550 (Del City)
Selling my good condition Xbox 360 250 and kinect and a standard black wireless the games are (batman Arkam city) (assassins creed 3) (halo 4) (madden 2011& 2012) (call of duty black ops 2) (mortal kombat) ( call of duty modern warfare) plus a pair of turtle beach wireless headphones which also includes an HDMI cable and optical cable. Everything is in great condition. Selling cause I'm deploying and can't take with me. Any questions let me know. Text me @ xxx-xxx-xxxx make an offer and I may consider but be fair and no trades please.

Don't worry, I assume most people watching the Super Bowl are gay, so that evens things out.

Those pictures tap in to one of my Craigslist pet peeves. Why not dust the stuff before listing? Especcially if you're going to ask an outrageous price?

Exactly! The laptop I bought off of craigslist last month, the guy sent me pics of it COVERED in dust. I was a just a tad bit weary, but he said he would clean it up and send better pics (which he did, and it looked brand new).
Just realized I forgot to post this gem of a response I got to my Craigslist ad on Sunday:
"hi!
saw your post on craigslist about buying games my bf dumped me last night to sleep with another girl so while he was out with her i took his xbox and playstation games please let me know today if you want to buy them or i will have to take what gamestop will give me because i need to get rid of these fast"
I know what the question raging in everyone's mind is: Why was she at her boyfriend's while he was out banging another girl?

I'd believe that if it didn't list an "external hard drive" that holds those 70 games.
[quote name='ferant316']I know what the question raging in everyone's mind is: Why was she at her boyfriend's while he was out banging another girl?[/QUOTE]
He was dumb enough to not get his key back, so she took his stuff. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Of course it can. And it's marvelous.

It depends on who you ask. I personally don't know enough details about their situation to make that call (nor is it my call to make). ferant316 made the assertion that we were all wondering why the girlfriend was at the guy's house and I was merely pointing out that there doesn't appear to be much of a mystery. It's reasonable enough to conclude that she likely had her own key, which the guy probably should've taken back before deciding to dump her...'cause if you're going to hurt someone and piss them off, it's not smart to let them have access to your living space. I wasn't condoning or condemning her actions; just saying that the guy was dumb to not anticipate them (if she did indeed have a key).

exactly. never break up with someone and still let them have a key to your house. its just suicide. of course if the two were married then taking her key isn't quite that simple.

If the guy is lucky enough to find evidence of it though, all he has to do is print it off and take her to court. He better have called the police when he realized they were gone. That's for sure.

Take out the "especially if you're going to ask an outrageous price" part, and showing filthy, dusty, dirty items often works out to a buyer's advantage. I've scored some amazing deals simply because the bundle looked like that. It's good to have lazy people who don't dust/clean, because they will often sell their valuable-but-dusty-as-hell stuff for pennies on the dollar.
