Yet More Craigslist Stupidity!

[quote name='Kovorkian']http://scranton.craigslist.org/vgd/3203730353.html unless this thing is made of pure gold.....[/QUOTE]

[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Maybe it's like that one NES or SNES someone put up on CL or eBay a year or two ago that they spray painted gold? That makes it worth more.;)[/QUOTE]

I can spot this guy from a mile away, it's not real it's one of those BS listings to get your e-mail or send you a link on how to get one free or some BS.

At $35 - 12 = $23, you could flip the Poke Stadium and get the other two for peanuts.
 
[quote name='Kovorkian']saw several PA listing for $1 games, that lead to a ad for a store >.>[/QUOTE]

There's a local store in my area that will post one game at a time with really cheap prices flooding the entire video game section. I saw Brink for $1.5 and thought why not. So I called and turns out I had to pick it up in store. Okay sure, I drive near it from time I time so I stopped by.

I arrive and the owner of the store rings me up at $25. I told him how I asked of it was 1.50 on Craigslist and over the phone the same guy says yes. So I point it out. Turns out I was being charged for them having to pull the game out, and since it was their last one and all this silly extra made Brink around 25 bucks from the 1.50.

As he goes to the back I notice he has a little ad up that says "matching Bestbuy's 100% bonus trade in!" and next it a binder of values that the store gave. I looked up Brink and for some reason it's 17.50 :lol:

He comes back with the game which he just tosses to me and asks for the money. I pay the 25 walk out then walk back in telling him I was to trade in a game. I open the binder, grab the ad, and hand him brink.
He wasn't happy and I walked out with 32 cash instead of 35 credit.

I wouldn't have minded maybe paying a few extra bucks since it was a local business. But the owner was a jerk, and he shouldn't advertise games for prices he won't sell at.

(I will say I never felt that I was rude to the man, I was actually excited walking in and discovering a local game shop)

That is my lengthy Craigslist tale :)

C-list around here now have a few people who like to post up escort phone numbers and the such with the ads. It is easy enough to google the number and make sure that "Jada" really has those NES games and isn't just a pro.

Usually the ads are pretty easy to spot. Bunch of NES games for 2 dollars each - including Mega Man, Battletoads, a few regular commons, and Little Samson.

I have to assume it is probably one of the many stores that have closed up recently or one of the other failing stores. They are also the only ones I ever see fighting on craigslist. Don't go to Sudden Impact, go to me I'm better. blah blah blah

I know this probably sounds wrong, but I hate 99% of the "Mom & Pop" video game stores. They may have slightly better pricing (big maybe), but they are generally D-bags.

I've seen a bunch of them just openly lie to people about the values of carts, saying they are worthless and nobody buys them anymore (games like Link to the Past, Metroid, Mario World) and that he is doing you a favor taking them. Obviously the person bring them in should be better informed on what they have, but at least tell the truth. Say these are pretty good games, but this is the best I can do. With overhead, bills, rent, having to sit on them, etc.

Also one of the local places won't take back games that don't work. They post a notice saying they all sales final and that they test games before they put them out (I doubt it) and if it doesn't work sorry.
 
The video game section here on CL has been a joke the last week or two. Around 6-7 am or so, the entire page gets flooded with video game ads from supposed dealers with some really stupid prices. I'm not talking 1-2 ads in a row either. They literally have no less than 15-20 ads in a fucking row that crowd out the ads by everybody else. It's ridiculous.

There really should be a seperate CL page for each category so that regular people just trying to sell their shit don't have to compete with dealers who will post up their whole inventory once a frickin' day.:roll:
 
This guy wants to trade this keyboard for a 360 or PS3

[quote name='lmz00']What's so "stupid" about that?[/QUOTE]
:applause: Many people who post on this thread seem to feel as if the people on CL should be on the losing end of the deal and not charge market value for their stuff.:roll:
 
I get annoyed with all of the posts of people asking for too much money, but I had to share this one because I thought you guys would appreciate it:

A used PC game that's never been opened:

I normally wouldn't think much of something like this, but the picture makes it creepy:

He probably just didn't know how much the keyboard is worth.

There is, at least in my area. Look in the URL: /vgm/ is all video game adds. /vga/ is by owner. /vgd/ is by dealer.
 
[quote name='blindinglights']He probably just didn't know how much the keyboard is worth.[/QUOTE]
you can get these for $195 brand new. the guy is a little high on his keyboard price, but not WAY off.
 
I thought it was hilarious more so then stupid that he wants a "VERIZON TOUCHSCREEN PHONE HAS TO BE CLEAN ESN" in addition to cash, whereas he could just ask for more cash.

Edit: V got clipped off
 
Well i guess ridiculous would be more appropriate because who does that?

$200 + a new clean touchscreen verizon phone

if he needs a clean phone so bad, get a burner.
 
[quote name='VidgamesgivemeA_D_D']I thought he meant he is including the phone too.

I'll just say not sure about that one, but the 28 xbox games for $1200 is great.[/QUOTE]

great as in great deal or great it stupid?

becuase at least 4 of the games you can see in the pictures I've seen sell for $1-2 at game stores

What I hate are people that type in the history (and by type I mean copy from wikipedia) of a game console as if that somehow makes it more valuable. Some crap like "$200 ORIGINAL nintendo game boy! Produced in 1991, this handheld system revolutionized blah blah blah..."

That and the "these are getting more and more hard to find" line. Yeah, an N64 with a 2 sports games is really hard to find

[quote name='Olengie']http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/3236173920.html

I should go buy this. Instead of a 3DS[/QUOTE]

LOL, I bought a brand new factory sealed 3DS XL for 10 bucks less than that last week on craigslist.

That was when the prices were still super inflated on Amazon so I immediately flipped it for about a 60 dollar profit after shipping and fees. I can't believe somebody actually paid that price for it. I almost felt bad for them.
 
ASK WHICH DUCK TALES!!!!!!!

duck tales 2 NES is going for 96 with 2 bids CART ONLY LINK

[quote name='KingTruffle']Holy crap! I've been looking for a copy of the new Rick Band game!

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/vgm/3237608431.html

Where you can only play "Never Gonna Give you Up" on repeat.[/QUOTE]

This is most likely a typing error as in a standard qwerty keyboard o and i are right next to each other, and good typist do not look at the key board while typing so if they have FFS as my one teacher once said it is fully foreseeable to accidently hit this other key

also picture shows the rock band game clearly

*FFS = Fat Finger Syndrome (hit keys nearby because fingers are as big as if not bigger than keys
