Title: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: wiggy on April 23, 2013, 10:49:58 AM
Category: DERP

So, there's this listing of a "huge" lot of games for which the seller is/was too lazy to add ANY pics or ANY description. Just "$300 firm, trust me, it's worth it."  

Right.

So I bit and sent a text asking for pics. He/she says again, "trust me, it's worth it". I say "no, I don't trust that it's worth it for ME, plus you're 1.5 hours away, so I'm NOT coming out based on 'its worth it'".

He/she caves and sends pics. These are the pics.

Fucking seriously.  

I didn't even know how to respond other than "Nevermind".


Let's hear the stories, folks!

Anyone in general that says something along the lines of "WILL PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR ALL NES, SNES, N64 GAMES" just always drives me crazy...I'd really be interested to see what would happen if someone walked in with like 3 copies of Earthbound. It would be like an episode of Pawn Stars.

Ah Yeah, nothing like dealers offering "top dollar" or flagging my WTB posts for a Sega CD.

Nothing lately, but a few weeks ago guy was selling " nes + 15 games, rare titles!" to finally get the list and the rarest thing was mario 3

I hate that every time I go search SNES or Nintendo 64 I get 50 ads that say paying top $ that just pisses me off. But hey Craigslist is free to post so any dumb ass with computer access will post just to fuck your day up!

However I did find a sweet deal that came together the other day.

Zelda OoT, Majoras Mask, Mario 64, Chef's Luv Shack, Mario Party 1 & 3 and Conker's Bad Fur Day for $60 and he drove to me! Lol! Worth dealing with bullshit for a deal like that.

Craigslist in my area is quite annoying...It seems like EVERYONE thinks what they have is worth a fortune and a lot of stuff is way over priced and nobody wants to budge or negotiate.  Luckily I'm not in the market for most of the stuff that people are selling but I have been trying to find a Dreamcast.

One guy in the town next over had one for sale.  It was a system with the cables a controller a sports game and some generator something or another discs.  He was asking 40 for everything but I didn't feel like that was a worth the price given there were no games and no mem card/vmu.  I might've been a bit of a douche by offering 20 but I was expecting him to negotiate a bit since I would've taken it for 30.  35 maybe but that was pushing it.  All I get is a response saying he won't lower the price and that the discount is already applied on the bundle, but reading the email it seemed like he was offended by my offer and seemed mad at me.  So I just sent him another email thanking him for his time and left it at that.

It's been over a month and that guy is still posting that ad along with many others...seems like no one else is biting and he might be sitting on it for a while...

The "I pay top dollar" ads piss me off to no end.  I report them all the time since they are posted in the FS section and they're obviously not. No idea if that's effective or not. Often there are 4 or 5 right in a row from the same person. So annoying.


I have zero concern over whether or not I put off or offend someone with my offers.  I feel like, if you can't handle someone haggling, then sell your shit on eBay or a local used shop.  One guy tried to sell me a Meo Geo X Gold for 150 after asking about something else he had that sold.

I was like "is it brand new?"  He goes "yes, I only played it once". So it's not new. Looked it up on amazon, they were $125 shipped at that point. Told him that and he goes "no, that's not be gold package". Took screen cap of it indeed being the gold package, sent it and offered 90 bucks. He never replied. Shocker.

Craigslist used to be good, but not anymore for me. People have crap and if they have something good for cheap, some douchebag tells them they have pricey stuff, then they change the price. AWESUM......... >_>

Ah, craigslist. Where would we be without you?

I've seen some interesting video-game related posts on CL in my day, but nothing too out of the ordinary.

There's one fellow I've met and continue to keep in contact with. He's an older guy who bought out a bunch of video stores a long time ago and has just had all these games sitting in storage. Anywho, I'm browsing craigslist one day and I noticed that a couple of games that he had (Mega Man 7 and Super Mario RPG, both with damaged labels) were being advertised for sale. I shot him an e-mail asking if it was his ad, but he tells me no and that he had sold those games earlier that afternoon. So someone probably bought MM7 for about 30 bucks from this guy and turned around and immediately put it up on craigslist, eventually selling it for $80.

It made me quite sad, actually.

There is not much ever on my local CL, but what is there is fairly reasonably priced, some deals can be found, not may over priced things. Been getting a lot of arcade cabnets, Kida wish i had space, there was 2 untended Neo Geos with a bunch of carts for $100 for both.

The Good:
(http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp280/larryinc64/0421032038_zps29750bb3.jpg)
I bought a Gamecube lot this weekend for $60. The lot includes: A Silver NGC, A Power Brick, A Broken AV chord, 3 Official controllers, A Game Stop controller, A Game Boy Player with Start Up Disc (My 3rd one  ;D ) 2 Memory Cards, and 15 games; LoZ Wind Waker CIB, Loz 4 Swards Adventures CB, Luigi's Mansion CIB,  SSB Melee CB, Wario World CIB, Mario Party 4 CIB, Pac Man Vs. /PMW 2 CB, Harvest Moon Magic Something ... C, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle C, Sonic Mega Collection CIB, and some other crap games, And a Cardboard Box.
I'm selling Wind Waker (With out the manuals) and Luigi's M to a friend for about $40. Mario Party 4 (With out the manuals) and SA2B are going too, idk where, maybe eBay or just trade them in to my local store.
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTMGBc9gemRPu3ZPO5oN9V7V8_hUOQrvwW4BY9-Uku5mExDNeVkxA) (Perfect Segway)
I found my local retro game store Retro Games Plus on CL.
I also got a Atari 2600 Light 6'er, 32 Games, Power Cord, 2 Joysticks, Paddle Controllers, and a Game Organizer. for $40.

The (potentially) good:
There was a 9 console lot on thee for $500, it did not sell, it had some very good CIB SNES games I shot the guy a email asking if he still had it, he said "$375 and its all yours" I'm going to split he lot with a friend, he is trying to get a bunch of money by doing odd computer fixing jobs and selling some spare parts to get it, He is getting all the stuff I do not want/ already have. I get the SNES games, the GB games, and 1/2 of the NES games.

The bad:
Not many bad listings pop up, some things are over priced or crap, and i get the ocatonal "WILL PAY THE LEAST FOR YOUR GOLD" ads,

The DERP:
There has been a listing popping up from time to time in the Video Games section for "AROUND 1800 PORNO DVD'S" for $2000. Yay.

Can't make out the pictures.  Usually when someone says "trust me, it's worth it" my automatic response is to balk.

I saw an ad on CL for Nintendo power magazines AND 60's and 70's playboys...
That's what every kid wants. To look at nude girls that's thier grandmas age while playing games with partial walkthroughs in NP lol.

Also there's rarely a good deal on CL around here, there are TONS of "We buy you games with REAL CA$H!!"

That's what I thought, yeah. We have some similar services here (like www.tori.fi )but they are rather notorious for having a lot of cheaters and people who simply have no idea on the value of stuff they're selling. Sometimes you can make incredible deals, sometimes they are asking for 200 € for a NES 8-bit without any games.

I always find good deals on craigs in my town.

yesterday
a n64 with 2 controllers all cables with 6 games mostly sports & 2 pocket gameboys silver/extreme green with 3 games for $30 bucks

and
 another n64 complete with expansion pak and 12 games for $40 with mario kart ,diddy racing ,yoshi,banjo,and other common games for $40, will list the consoles on craigs again and keep the games and gameboys...

One thing to note here in Las Vegas most people I bought stuff on craigs look like junkies , and games always smells like cigarettes maybe that's the reason for the good prices on stuff here.... ;)

I know exactly what you mean. Damn near everything in New England smells like stinky cigarette smoke. Pretty much all the games I buy out here get a Goo Gone bath before joining my collection.

Man, 175 doesn't seem to bad for that at all.  I'd prolly just go 150.  I see Tecmo Bowl III CIB in there.  I think that on its own is worth a few bucks, is it not?

Post by: xn30warriorx on May 03, 2013, 09:16:31 PM
That is a fantastic price for all of that! Especially with a lot of it being CIB. I mean I paid more than that for my sealed Albert Odyssey on my Saturn alone! Grab it while you can and trade/sell what you don't need or aren't interested in.

Post by: FritzWhite on May 03, 2013, 09:43:16 PM
 You might be able to take it for $150, but low balling can be tricky. The price is fair. I would just buy it for $175 before someone else does.

Yeah, I got a little excited about the ad thinking, 'Don't waste time lowballing! Take the deal for $175 before someone else gets it!' Ha ha, next time I'll read first.

I got a working SNES with power cable and controller for $15 a couple weeks ago on CL. All it lacked was the a/v so I was a happy camper.

Make him an offer! Maybe something in the $150 range. He doesn't say that he is selling the games for $3000, only that they are worth over $3000, which may be the price he paid for them brand new.

Open up negotiations!
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: larryinc64 on May 04, 2013, 01:50:37 PM

NBA Jam

Game Boy:
SML
Tetris 1 & 2
Pokemon Red X2

Still working it out but the guy said "I started to ignore all the other inquiries because I really don't care about selling it anymore and you sound really interested. Just let me know."
So unless something weird happens its mine, I'm splitting it with a friend, and trading in some stuff to get the price down.
You think it is worth it, I do for some select things.

You'd probably want to hold off on making an offer until you know exactly what you're getting. Maybe drive down or get a list.

So I replied to this one and the guy agreed to sell the games seperately for $15.  :)

Then I met him in the parking lot of his apartment complex only to find out I was buying games from a nazi. The dude had a very obvious "SS" tattoo on the side of his head, and I couldn't help but stare at it the entire time.

It's not even about owning one of the flash carts that I find annoying about those ads it's the fact that they sell fill it up with pirated games.  Buying it to use for personal use is one thing but buying it then filling it up with games and trying to sell it for some huge profit is another.

It's like this one guy around me that offers a 2tb hdd filled with about 100-300 ps3/wii or xbox 360 games for $200 bucks.

My only beef with CL is that my area hardly ever has anything I'm after. For example, one game I really want is "Super Double Dragon", and I haven't seen many on there at all. Usually, its part of a bundle, and they don't want to sell it separately. :(

To good to be true. About once a month there will be an ad that is just incredible.

Last month it was Neo Geo AES carts for $2 a piece.

Month before that was a lot of Nes games with a sealed Stadium Events.

I'd be skeptical too. Notice the Earthbound in the top left and then there's Super Metroid, FF3, Mario RPG, MegamanX, Donkey Kong series, Actraiser, Chrono Trigger, Kirby... Half my want list is there and the other half are some of the best games I have.

I had a lady do that at a garage sale last week.

She had a bunch of Wii games for $5 each and she had Mario All-Stars (without the cardboard packaging and Art Book) so I tried to buy it and she was like "That one's $50 because that's what it goes for on ebay"

1. - Overpriced BIN auctions are not "what it goes for"

2. - It was missing the collector's items so it would "go for" way less

3. - It's a garage sale - sell it on ebay if you want "what it goes for"

Man, everyone is a fucking "expert" these days.  Ugh.  Ugh to the max.

Normally I wouldn't mind them asking a high price if they were able to negotiate it down to a decent price where both parties still "win" but everyone's firm on their prices and they don't budge at all.  I mean, sure i'd ask top dollar for an item but at the same time I also expect people to throw in offers so negotiations can start.  But unfortunately people think that their Mario/Duck Hunt cart is worth the 25 bucks they're asking...

I love when people ask me to hold stuff for them.  Here's an easy way to cure that, tell 'em "Sure!  It's $2.50 a day to hold a listing, with a minimum $10.00 fee."  That shuts em the fuck up.

So after a week of flakes and backouts I finally had a serious taker for the N64 lot that I pulled Worms and a couple controllers from. The funny thing, the guy that showed up to claim it was the exact same guy that I picked up a copy of Zelda Collectors Edition from a few weeks ago. Small world.

I also met a real dumbass at a flea market last week who exactly knew what things are worth nowadays as they are vintage!

There was a barren SNES lying on his desk with no controllers, no games, no nothing. So I asked if he got the cables and stuff somewhere. He told me yes. Then I asked how much it would be.

He told me 35 Euro !!without!! the cables and controllers and stuff and !!90!! Euros with cables.....

I laughed and wanted to walk away as he told me that I should check the Internet as these absolutely ARE the common prices nowaday!!!!!! *arrrrrrrgh*

On the other hand I got a NES with cables and 4 controllers and a multitap for 5 Euro some tables further. Strange world.

I have not herd from him in 2 weeks, Thats a shame, I have been sending Emails every once in a while.
Maybe he is on vacation, He has my email so we will see where this goes. I'll keep sending one every once and a while.


Someone had a lot up:
SNES with two controllers $25, also He got a NES with 2 controllers and Zapper.
Worded kinda like that.

I Email him, I got a friend, looking for a cheep SNES

"I have a few questions about your Cregs List posting.
The Super Nintendo and NES together are $25, right?
Do both of them work?
And where in [city] are you? "

"25 each and everything works yes I am at [City]"

"Ok, great, I live in [City] too,
Can you give me your address, or at least your street so I know about how far away you live?"

"[Street]"

"Ok, you live fairly close, 15 min drive.
Do you have any games for the systems?"

"Yes a few"

"Ok, can I have a list of the games?"


No response for over a week, the ad is still there.  :(
I may shoot over one more email, if no response, screw it.

People are so fucking lazy.  Just post the damned games you have for sale!  I find that I have to ask like 90% of Craigslist sellers for a stupid list of games.


I know I already posted these in the pickups thread, but since I got em on CL and I would consider this a "good" at 60 bucks total, here they are again.

$2000 for a lot of old videos of people fucking? What a deal, sign me up!

If the person with the snes lives that close it might be worth a visit just to see what they've got. Maybe they have a couple gems.

Having the R4 already loaded with games is pretty nice too. That's okay, I already tapped out the game budget this week with some pickups I was happy with. I'll show them off in a few hours.

You would pretty much be paying retail for that lot, no real high dollar games there.

Yeah, that's what I thought, If I did not buy a Saturn already, I probably would be more interested, I'll see if any one else buys it, and if not offer a lower price maybe. Are the games any good?

Nice NES lot. I offered $200 but don't expect the seller to bite.

Nice one but i think 200 it short for the value of that.

Good luck, and hope the seller accept the offer   ;)

How did it go? The seller accept the offer?

Those games aren't rare or real valuable, but I think $20 for a Genesis w/ no games is a pretty good price so if you don't have one already jump on it, if you are looking to flip it you probably won't make much money.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: redsox2012 on July 16, 2013, 11:16:04 PM
Streets of Rage II & X-men are worth $20 combined (if they're complete), $15 or so if the manuals are missing.  So yeah, it's a good deal.  Unfortunately, that model Genesis has the poorest sound quality because Sega changed some sound chips from the first models produced.  If you've never owned an earlier Genesis you would have nothing to compare it to anyway, so the difference isn't noticeable to most people.

Enjoy SOR II - it's one of the best Genesis games ever made.

That is certainly not a $600 lot. I'd value it at $250 tops.

Looks like the most valuable thing in that lot is probably Mario Kart.  Nothing else caught my eye as rare or more than average priced. Those SNES  controllers are nice though....not $600 nice....but they do work well.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the AC adaptor included with that Genesis is actually a TurboGrafx-16 AC adaptor! lol

$20 is certainly no steal, but still a good deal. Funny thing is, around here I could probably easily flip that lot for $50.

A local pawn shop has a Sega Master system for sale and asking $40. What do you guys think? It's not boxed but it still has the transparent film over the top of the console. He's had it for a few months so I was considering paying the $40 if he tosses in a couple games.

Post by: Nacho3 on July 19, 2013, 01:29:08 AM
Just like the Genesis, it's not a fantastic price but it's not way too much either. If anything, it's kinda hard to find a SMS so you might want to pay it just because you may not see one again for a while.

I usually check the videogame section of craigslist to find deals, but I hadn't tried the free section recently. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a phone app to let you know when an ad with a title like this goes up in the free section:

Jul 30 Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 + Games

That one was just up earlier today in the free section of craigslist in my area.

I tried clicking and of course the ad is already gone, but I paused to consider the fact that there's still a lot of gold to be mined out there. There are huge 8 and 16 bit game collections out there just waiting to be discarded from someone that thinks they're outdated and worthless. I'll have to look into the phone app thing. I still use a "dumb" phone, but an app that lets me know when nintendo and turbografx goes up in the free section could pay for itself after nailing a couple game scores.

Today's ad and a couple of some recent craigslist scores got me wondering if we might now be on the downward slope of a golden age of game hunting, slowly fading away as the game supply steadily dwindles in the years to come.

I offered $60 and it was accepted. The drawback is that it's an hour and a half drive one way. Hopefully he holds it for me for an afternoon pick up tomorrow.

I think hes lying to get more money out of you or its a complete scam.  I mean having a game or 2 being sold for cheap is one thing but that list is full of popular games that any collector would want.  And each being 15 sealed or not is kinda fishy also

Was thinking on that, games in box for 15 and sealed, and a N64 in box + 4 controllers, don't think it's real, i think it's a scam

I'm not convinced it's a scam, but it's possible I suppose. Prices around where I live I are so ridiculously inflated that I wouldn't be surprised if a dealer tried to jump on that for $200, planning on selling everything for $500.

I try to contain any excitement I feel until after the deal's been made and I'm in the car with the games. I've had my share of good scores off craigslist, but I've had plenty of disappointments too.

Reminds me of the time someone posted mega man x2 and x3 for $50. I was pretty disappointed to not hear back on that one.

Could prolly get that for SSB sealed alone.

I woulda offered 250. That shit is worth a lot more than that.

That's the real deal.

Digital Pictures was the only company that shipped their games in a non-standard SCD case. The cases they used resemble large DVD cases made out of cardboard with plastic edges.

They are actually better quality than the standard SCD cases if you ask me.

My moneys on it being a pile of old pornos and some Tiger Electronic games, but you should see what it is in case there really is something rare there. These days when someone says rare game I wait until I hear some titles before I get too excited. They usually mean mario/duckhunt or a gameboy or something.

He said I was the first responder not to whine about the lack of pictures, the lack of a list, or the price, so he will 'gladly' hold it for me, and out of 'respect for me' won't respond to anyone else until after I look at it.

So... I guess I'm committed to look at this mystery bundle now.

Beatles Rockband PS3 Gear - 45$

Paul's Hofner Bass With Stand
Ringos Drum Set With Bass Peddle and Beatles Drum Head ( Damaged/ Torn a bit, It looks like it was run over by something  :-[  Also missing the clips to hold it to the Drums.)
Mic with Stand
Missing Wireless Adapters.
I saw it a while ago for $70, no takers, It was going to be 50$ and he was going to drive 1/2 hour to give it to me, He came down and offered $40 because of the missing Adapters, I was nice and gave him $45. Still a great deal.
I'm going to buy another Drum Head off eBay soon.

It's a shame he lost the Dongles, I shot him a email asking if he could give another look for them, because they go for $20-$40 each, and then you have to make sure they are compatible.
I do not even have a PS3 yet, so I can hold of on buying them, and even with the adapters, and maybe another bass drum, I still got a good deal. The Guitar and Drums are in very good condition, minus some dust.

Yesterday I went to go and look at http://yakima.craigslist.org/vgm/4077109637.html
More out of 'I'm in the area, it can't hurt' than anything else. I was thinking pretty much the same thing as the replies I got here - probably not worth it, etc. I didn't have high hopes when I met him, he was a hat-sideways-lowered Civic type. But in the trunk he had many boxes and bags, all of which were part of the sale.

First, a Wii, with its box. By all indications, it's very rarely been used, there's no scratches or scuffs on the system, and there were no downloaded games or channels on it, and only a few save files. It came with a 4GB SD card, I found it when I was looking at it, the guy told me to keep it. Those two sealed cables, I'm not sure what they are, they look like double-ended component cables.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/wiisystem_zpsbb6ee86e.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/wiisystem_zpsbb6ee86e.jpg.html)

There was a bag that had some of those cheap Wii Sports controller sleeves in it. They too seem not to have been used much, they aren't bent, yellowed, or with missing chunks. Also in the bag were 6 resin Pokemon toys, no idea why. Also in the bag was a 16-pack of AA batteries, 'for the controllers', which isn't in the picture because I used them.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/controllerthings_zps95b81d54.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/controllerthings_zps95b81d54.jpg.html)

In another paper bag were 4 movies, The King's Speech, V For Vendetta, and No Country For Old Men, all sealed, and some kind of promotional DVD for Wii Fit. There were two Wii Zappers, boxed with the stickers still closing them. Two sealed Classic controllers and 1 sealed nunchuck, as well as two controllers that were loose.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/wiicontrollersplusmovies_zpsaad49dc8.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/wiicontrollersplusmovies_zpsaad49dc8.jpg.html)

There was a cardboard box full of Wii and Xbox 360 games, with 2 Gamecube games in it. The entire bottom row, along with the GT game on the right, were all still shrink-wrapped. I asked the guy why he had so many unopened old-ish games, and he told me something about downloading them. Which, from what I know about those games, isn't possible for them.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/wiigamebatch_zpsc91730a8.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/wiigamebatch_zpsc91730a8.jpg.html)

There was a bulging branded Sega Game Gear cases, and in it was a blue Game Gear (the guy kept telling me the blue one was damn rare, dunno how true that is) and 6 games, with 4 of them in cases. The reason for it bulging was what was laid on top of it, Mario Kart DS in a empty DS cases, and two SNES games, Uniracers and... Super Metroid. Even with the huge amount of stuff he was offering, I wasn't really expecting to find anything like that.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/gamegear_zps83c1d215.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/gamegear_zps83c1d215.jpg.html)

There was another cardboard box (last one!) which was full of PC games. Neverwinter Nights Complete, the Might and Magic Heroes Collection and Arcanum were all things that made this box seem worth it.
(http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t662/PurpleBionicCrayon/pcgames_zpsc2f08bd2.jpg) (http://s1319.photobucket.com/user/PurpleBionicCrayon/media/pcgames_zpsc2f08bd2.jpg.html)

Before the guy left I asked about why he didn't post pictures, telling him that I almost didn't come on account of there not being any pictures. He just kinda laughed, gave me 20 dollars back, and told me he's going to put up another pile of 'useless old shit' in a couple of days, maybe I'd want to buy it.

So, that's the mystery bundle, for 20$ less than the 'non-negotiable' price.

I emailed the guy and quite politely asked if he bought it with the shrink wrap on it already or not.  Haven't heard back yet. I'd wager that it's a scam scam scam.

Oh yeah, I read that. Wasn't really in a market for a sealed game (though I still do need Earthbound), but it had me curious. Thanks for letting me know.

Can you swap out other Neo Geo game boards in this like Metal Slug  or SNK? It seems like a good deal if you could put other games in it.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4093205597.html

Edit: added link

yes you can.

that was really the point of the MVS system, much easier to swap out game boards, much easier to store multiple games, the carts are more durable than bare PCB's, no reconfiguring of the control panel or anything...

not in perfect shape, but worth it for that price!

Thanks for that. I'm really tempted by that thing... but I just don't have the space or the means to haul it right now. I'm just going to get this much less exciting lot instead. I want less than half the stuff here, but it seems really cheap for everything included so I figure I can probably flip it.

Don't have time to give a fuck about your listing.  Why do people on CL treat the customer as if they're doing them a favor and not the other way around?

There is a NES lot I'm after for $200.
System with 3 controllers and Powerpad, and around 60 games!
Good ones too.

I would post pictures, but I do not have the time.  ;D
The listing bumped off. But I have a few saved.

There was no list, but a picture of the box with games. He sent me a better picture.

I have to wade through a lot of shit on CL before I find a deal that's worth the effort of meeting someone. The people with ebay prices are annoying. If I'm going to pay ebay prices, I prefer to not have to deal with other humans face to face. If I have to go meet some stranger and do all the leg work of arranging our meeting then I at least need a little deal!

Overall, I've done ok, but I usually find good deals instead of great ones. I think garage sales are the place to really hit gold for super deals. I went to my first one this past weekend and was happy with what I spend and what I got.

You didn't mention any prices for those. I'm just curious.

I got these xbox games yesterday for $47. I consider this a good deal, but not really a great one. Did I do ok?

Sorry to hog the whole thread, but I picked these up after work this afternoon for $25. I rode my bicycle for the 40 mile round trip to save gas and give myself a better deal. I have a light weight road bike which helps make the distance much easier.

I need a laptop for work. Made the mistake of searching CL. Nobody lists what model their laptops are, just some of the specs. Found one that sounded decent so I texted the guy to ask if he knew the model. His reply was literally "No, and I'm not gonna check". I replied "lazy", he replies "wut?"

I was pretty much done with him at that point, but I still went on to harass him for about 5-6 more texts :P  I think I pissed him off pretty good. How does someone expect to sell something like that without giving the consumer the ability to see if the price is worth it?

I saw an ad on CL for Nintendo power magazines AND 60's and 70's playboys...
That's what every kid wants. To look at nude girls that's thier grandmas age while playing games with partial walkthroughs in NP lol.

Also there's rarely a good deal on CL around here, there are TONS of "We buy you games with REAL CA$H!!"

-_-

OMG REAL CA$H? as opposed to Monopoly money? Holy crap!

Anyways, look at this outstanding citizen's CL ad:

PS4 is $400 while Xbox is $500

Probably going a bit cheaper on xbox seeing as how the ps4 is a bit more popular right now.

Funny thing though, I was just at a gamestop today and they even said that they reopened preorders for the xbox lol.

Kind of annoyed and I just need to vent a bit.

On wednesday I made plans to meet up with someone local to buy his items.  Kept constant communication and seemed genuine at least through emails.  So I head out a bit earlier then the time planned just so I don't end up being late.  Well the time comes and goes and I end up checking my email.  Turns out he cancelled 15 minutes prior to us meeting because of his baby acting up.  Which is perfectly fine, I understand family comes first.  So I told him ok and we had talked about meeting up on thursday at 5.

Well, I emailed him in the morning asking if we were still meeting up.  Nothing....in the meantime I noticed that his ad got deleted.  So I emailed again a bit later asking again to see what was going on.  Nothing again.  Even emailed him again this morning.

I'm guessing that he sold it to someone else which is fine but it just annoys me that he can't just man up and tell me instead of just ignoring me after he had decided to sell to me.

I've been stood up a couple times. Worst is when it's something you really want for a great price. Deals are like dating. Sometimes they give you what you want at the end, sometimes they play games and stand you up. Maybe it's better to just move on and cut your loss rather than stewing too long over it.

I've placed a lot of for sale ads in my life (especially for cars), and I can tell you first hand that it can get pretty tiresome answering questions after the item(s) are gone, especially if they are numerous.

I know...and I hate to be "that guy" that's always annoying but he did agree to sell it to me and even meet up so until he told me he had sold it to someone else I was still under the impression that he would still sell to me :\

This morning was the last email that I sent...in a way I feel that if I didn't that I wasn't trying and that I lost the sale not because I didn't try but because the seller turned his back on our deal.  I'd hate to look back and think that I didn't try my hardest.

Lots of flakey people on Craigslist. Been to some people's houses to buy some games, dirty animals.

Yeah...I've been to a couple people's houses to pick up items and I always refused to step inside anyone's home.  I don't know these people so I always take some precaution lol.  I even tell my sister the address of where I'm going and if she doesn't hear back from me in a certain amount of time to call the cops haha

Dude I must have missed that console release somewhere between virtual boy and the N64,   what was I doing???      I thought she miss typed the $1175 price (a few to many digits) but then she individually priced them  DAMN  for $150 that better be a donkey kong country competition cartridge (but no it is not)

What do you think this is worth? I feel like I could probably make money reselling these to fund my personal collection since I don't collect cardboard, but what do you think? It's an hour and a half drive round trip so I'm hesitating here. I don't want to move if it's just a so so deal. Should I try to get it?

Definitely good buy.
DK3 box alone is quite wanted.

And I do collect boxes, so I can buy few if the prices stay reasonable.
Actually apart from Super Ceasrs Palace all those boxes interest me.

Also few of the manuals and games

I'd say definitely worth it.  Should be able to keep Bart Vs The Space Mutants for yourself and resell the others for what you paid pretty easily I'd imagine.

Another "winner" from the Ottawa area.

I normally don't think of of stupid ads but this one is pretty bad.

Guy wants to sell a ps2 with 1 game for $50 but only tonight.  And for only $20 more he will deliver it!

I just don't see how he could think that someone needs a crappy old ps2 so badly that they would give him $50 for it right away.

Also .. no pictures ..

I picked up this Sega lot off craigslist for $20. Barts vs the Space Mutants is missing cart and manual. Afterburner is missing the cart. Half the Master System games are complete. The lot also came with 4 Master System posters.

I'm going to try out the MS games eventually when I have a Retron5. It's an ok lot for $20 I guess, but not as good as I'd hoped.

He also threw in 3 Saturn game discs which I have zero use for. They're all completely scratched to shit.

Her:

I think I've dealt with this chick before .. very sketchy.

I'm not sure she even has the stuff she says she does.

Her add just has a picture of games and she seems to have lots of rare stuff.

Usually if people in Ottawa have a bunch of stuff on them it's because it's priced too high.

Hey guys, I have another deal or no deal. This lot seems a little overpriced to me, but I'd love to hear a second opinion in case there's some valuable game in here I'm missing. I like that some of them come with manuals, but I doubt that really bumps the value too much.

So what do you think? Thanks

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4117132452.html

Edit: I looked up some game values and I'm going to pass on these. I did find another lady selling Super Smash Bros for N64 for $10, but with traffic she's an hour away so it wouldn't be worth it to me.

Actually, all those together would be over $200 by internet prices. The Zeldas go for around $50 each themselves and 8 Eyes is around $30; most of the others are in their "teens". It's not bad, but it's your call.

Thanks for the info. There's a whole bunch of stuff popping up on craigslist at the moment. This caught my attention too. I think it's a good deal, but I'm looking for awesome deals. I requested a list of games though since some of the titles are blurred.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4139049191.html

Edit: Here's a game list, nothing rare, lots of sports:

Gameboy
Bo Jackson, baseball, track meet, mega man revenge, tetris, animaniacs

NES
Soccer, top gun, blades of steel, dino riki, contra, smb1, smb3, jackal, bad dudes, wheel of fortune, bubble bobble, godzilla

SNES
Tiny Toons: Buster busts loose, Frank Thomas, Joe and Mac, Ken Griffey, Street Fighter 2, Lemmings, Super Star Wars, NHL, NBA Jam, Madden, Troy Aikman, Power Moves, Super Mario Kart, Busby

Few good titles in there but I already have most of them so I'm going to pass on this one.

The Game Boy games alone are worth around $20 according to internet prices, while the NES games would cost around $80 combined (Contra being the most expensive cart). The SNES carts also come in at around $80 total, but there is a real lack of anything really worthwhile. However, keep in mind that the games alone are technically worth more than what the guy's asking, and that's not even including the consoles or any of the other tchotchkes.

Personally, I think you're right in not even bothering. Yeah, the numbers are pretty good, but the "dead weight" games are going to be a pain to flip, and there's a LOT of them.

You're right. It's a pretty good deal, but since I already own the games it's not worth it to me just to flip them. I appreciate your input

Edit: I checked my email and the guy with the boxed NES games was offering them for $165. Tempting, but I need to sell extra some of the game stuff I already have before I get more to flip.

There's quite a few derpy ones that post ALL the time in my area. One of them is an SNES for $80, no box, no games, comes with cables and 2 cheap, aftermarket controllers.

This is another one. I can buy Mega Man X2 on ebay right now for $67.99 shipped. Why would I drive to you and pay $80?

I don't mean to spam up the board by posting too much, but it seems like there are a lot of good deals out there right now and I like to share them with you guys and hear feedback. Here are a few ads that have caught my interest recently.

He's willing to take $35 for these so I'll probably meet him this morning. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4140101877.html

Digimon World, Mega Man X5 and a few other semi-valuable games are in here. I'm working on this one. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4140022344.html

Price for Metroid 2 isn't too bad compared to ebay. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4139877822.html

I want this one for its excellent condition, GTA trilogy, and box. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4123702540.html

This is a nice thing about not getting one of the next gen systems. It frees up a lot of cash for this stuff.

My pockets are empty now, but I got some fun games  :D

First I picked up Mario Kart, Yoshi's Island, Call of Duty 4, and Final Fantasy 3 on DS for $25.

Then I picked up the big lot. 167 games in varying condition, many of them complete, for $175. I would have liked to pick and choose, but he wanted to get rid of the lot so I took everything. I'm pretty happy with it overall. I just separated a lot of the lame sports titles from the good pile and there are a few decent ones left that will be going to the personal collection or I can make some money back on.

Some highlights from the pickup:

Gamecube- Pokemon Coliseum (no manual :'()

PS1- Mega Man X5, Mega Man 8 Anniversary, Mega Man Legends, Spyro Year of the Dragon, Legend of the Dragoon, Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories, Digimon World, Digimon Card Battle, Monster Rancher 2, Bugs Bunny and Taz Timebusters, Ape Escape, Metal Gear Solid

I haven't really dug into the ps2 too much yet, but kingdom hearts and a few other games I need are in there. I will have to go through the lot more and continue organizing the piles more, but I'm satisfied with the deal. I really enjoyed playing all 3 Mega Man games for ps1 for the last 20 minutes and will definitely be playing the crap out of them in the future  :)

I've been lucky to find some good deals this weekend, but I'm on hiatus from buying more games for a little while...

Recently picked up 178 games, mainly ps1 and ps2, in 2 different craigslist deals. I spent $215 for everything in the pics.

I've since organized the games into separate piles of keepers, crap, and resells. If you have an opinion on any of the games I'm on the fence about keeping I'd love to hear what you think. I'm trying to keep the good games that are fun to play and get rid of the crappy games that are boring. I'm not against keeping a cheap game that's considered a filler title if it's fun to play.

I'm keeping these games.

 ps2- keeping these

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot007.jpg)

ps1- keeping these

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot020.jpg)

I'm curious about all of these games, but I'm not sure if they're worth playing. To keep or not to keep. If you have an opinion about any of them I'd like to hear it.

ps2- not sure which to keep

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot008.jpg)

ps1- not sure which to keep. Casper, Gex, and Harry Potter are ones I may give my son to play if they're decent

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot016.jpg)

ps1 games I'm considering for my kid. I know Ape Escape and Bugs n Taz are worth a little more, but I don't know how the gameplay is in any of the games below.

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167gamelot002.jpg)

semi-valuable games to resell

poop pile

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot021.jpg)

Most of the ps1 cases were not in perfect condition. I found this box of 200 brand new jewel cases for $20 on craigslist.

(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/167lot023.jpg)

This was my ps1 collection before the pickup. I love the new games, but now I have a space issue for the collection. Once again it's outgrown the space I've allocated for it. Time to revamp the setup. Again.  8)

Some good games out of your lesser piles:
Lego Racers 2 - Had it for PC, it was kinda fun, Your car could become completely broken, and you have to do the race on foot.  ;D I liked it. . .

SkyCooper games -Great game, PS2 Classic
Enter The Matrix
Tony Hawk Games
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Fun Co-Op
Fairly Odd Parents - Good Game, THQ was to Nickelodeon as Capcom was to Disney IMO.
Maximo

PS1-
All Crash Games
Gex
Road Rash

Lego Island 2 is great, I loved it when I was younger on PC
Croc 2 - I think Is good

Tak is supposed to be a good kids game, It was made by Nickelodeon
Warriors of Might and Magic Seems to be a goodish one.

IMO you should also give the following a chance:
The getaway
Tony hawk games
Splashdown
Air blade
Dave Mirra bmx 2
Stuntman
Sly cooper
Fur Fighters - viggo's revenge


Crash team racing
Dave Mirra bmx
Cool boarders
MTV snowboarding

I think you did really well with those lots!

FritzWhite: For the PS1, I can vouch for the Crash games, Legend of Dragoon and Ape Escape being good games to hold on to. Not really sure about anything else you may have been on the fence about. For me, the PS2/NGC era had a LOT of decidedly "meh" titles. I know what I liked out of that era, because I bought most of them already, and I don't see anything I own in your piles.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Eventually I'll try all of the ones you guys recommend.

Larry: I threw Warriors into the poop pile because the disc is shot. There aren't very many games from the lot in poor condition, but that one is jacked up.

Sheep: I didn't know Tekken and Burnout were good. lol. I'll check em out!

Axel: I hear you on the quality over quantity idea. In the long run I'm probably going to end up selling off the vast majority of the ps2 lot. For some reason a lot of the ps1 games look more interesting so I'll probably hang onto a greater number of those. I like how little space the jewel cases use.

That's one thing I like about some of the collections on TCP and your collection also Axel is when there are nothing but quality, awesome games on the shelf. I don't like the look of a bunch of mediocre games with a few good ones mixed in.

Well, I don't want turds hanging around too long. Looks like I better start testin, playin, and flippin.

It had every NES game, I think a bunch of SNES or Genesis. It had a big HD installed, so more could be added. It also had some Xbox games loaded on it, like some plane flyer battle game. And some shitty DVD in the disc tray. There was some dip switch thing on the front used to switch between the normal and hacked menus. That was how we new some mod was installed when we got it.

My friend kept it. I already had an Xbox and had a hacked Wii, so I did not need it.

Good TV? It says it has composite so i'm guessing it will have s-video also.

Or should I hold out for a bigger one, like 32 inch?

If you highlight, copy and paste the entire link it'll take you to a pic of a bunch of nes games.  About 23 with more then half boxed.  I'm not an NES expert or anything but nothing in the box really struck me as anything super special but I don't know how much value the boxes add to the price.

I think is good, when i check the price of the CIB games Platoon $27 each one, Mission imposible 37 each one and Base loaded depend on witch one are on the box can go from $20 to $45 (can't see witch base loaded are on the box), so you have with those games your 120 dollars

2 Platoons for 27= 54
2 Mission imposible for 37 = 74

So you have $128 with just 4 CIB games (if they are really Complete)
Those are the price on the page that i posted

Where do you get your prices from? Kirby's Dreamland? ;D In this box I see nothing worth more than 10-15USD. Still considering there are 23 games it is a pretty okay deal. The big problem is that there are some duplicates and those are worthless sports games (3 x Bases Loaded).

The games I see are ->
3 x Bases Loaded
2 x Platoon
Snake Rattle N Roll
2 x Mission Impossible
Championship Bowling
Sky Shark
Captain Skyhawk
Bump N Jump
Rescue: The Embassy Mission
The blue boxed game could be Rescue Rangers which could also be worth a bit more. If it's the second part jackpot. Highly unlikely though.
Contra cart? - That could be worth a little bit more
Some of those blue or violet carts could be capcom games which also would be good.

Still all considered I would pass on this or try to haggle him down to at least 70-80.

Remeber that i manage only internet prices, i am force to buy from internet because here in the Dominican Republic Craiglist doesn't put add of video games and when someone is selling something the prices are always higger than internet. And Flea market here doesn't sell video games

For example qhen i bought my Wii on ebay i pay $120 (Wii console, 2 controllers, 2 nunchuck, 2 Wii wheels, 5 games, Wii tablet for wii fit and some other things), here in the Dominican Republic people was selling used Wii for $250+ just the console and one or two controller. My only freedom is a local gameshop that has Retro games very cheep :D but new ones are a bit high :(.

As i metion before i will love to have some day your experience (some of you guys) buying in flea market, Craiglist  a lot of games for low prices or games that are high price on internet and you managed to buy it cheep.

Just realise that i'm not the person to give advice on game prices :P

I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia. That's the exact same box I got my SNES in. I remember because I got two carts, All-Stars and World. I remember that sticker and everything.

It was because I got them separate like this that I was always confused when people talked about an All-Star and World single cart.

Thanks for that.

Yea for sure with Sharp & Nintendo this beast was born, it was released kinda late in the nes lifespan but it didnt sell well because its retail price was more than what it cost customers to buy a stand alone nes and a seperate TV  and with the 16bit consoles on its way nobody really cared. I dont think his estimates on how many are around/made are accurate tho im pretty sure its higher could be wrong tho. I would for sure give him a try but I saw one go on ebay a couple months ago for 350 so I wouldnt pay more than 4 imo.

Yea those numbers sound right, they tried to sell it and it was available as a normal retail product. His numbers make it seem like it was a special/limited/promo product. "Dreamcast99" good thinking bro about the remote I didnt even think about that!!!  Its really cool as a collector piece but if im going to get one NES (nongame) related item I would get the NES Test station they had at nintendo repair centers. Now that thing is a beast

... Like do you just have a spare 30,000-35,000 bucks laying around lol. Im in no way trying to make fun ay if you have it more power to you I just can fathom spending that much on a game I would go get a Cadillac CTS-V or something (Like me my cadillacs)

I offered $30 for:
Batman
Indy Jones
Double Dragon
Super Star Wars
Chester

I'm buying a 3DS XL, and quite a few GB games from Quaz. I'm not sure if he she would go from $85 to $60, the listing is still new. He is very close, so maybe if they are still up a week or 2 from now, I may go back.

EDIT:
Responce from her:
Hello Larry,
Before listing these on CL I did some research getting prices from Ebay. I am charging a few dollars less. There are 2 other people after you asking for these games so I don't think I'll have a problem selling for my asking price.
Do you have SNES sysytem or will you want to test these out?

$34 for what's above ain't bad. I think we need scans for Batman.

I do not plan on moving out until I'm out of collage, and I'm not even in it yet, so that will be a while.

And the guy above apparently wanted to sell everything as a lot, I think, there is a listing for 156 CIB NES games, with no individual games for sale.

I guess it was not the best, probably only was saving $30-$40 on what I really wanted (Yoshi, All-Stars, DKC 1/3, Ghost) I was going to resell a few manuals and 2 games to make back 12/3 of it though.  :(

I could have gotten it last weekend, but my mom did not want to drive anywhere, and I only have a learners permit.

Ok, so I picked the box up plus a bunch of Nintendo games.

I just got home and I'm going through the Sega games and checking to see that they are all complete (they are) and I find a little paper folded up stashed inside of one of the games and I can hear that something is shaking around inside of this folded up piece of paper. I open this piece of paper up and see what looks like little whitish shards of crystals that were wrapped up in this paper in one of the videogames I bought.

So it looks like there was methamphetamine inside of one of the videogames I bought. What if I'd been pulled over? I could have been busted for drugs just trying to buy videogames! Buyers beware. Craigslist wtf! :o

I met these guys really late at a 7 eleven in a ghetto area. After I buy the Sega games for $50 he asks me if I'm interested in Nintendo too. Yes, sure.

So I wait for another 20 minutes for them to go get it and he has this box full of Nintendo stuff he wants $70 for. I took a little bit of a gamble because I didn't want to check every single game on top of my car at midnight at 7 eleven in the hood, so I just bought the box. Unfortunately it's nothing but filler titles for NES and SNES, but there was a SNES system complete with original cables at least.

Thinking about letting these go.

No pics but it sounds like a potential good deal.

1. Mario Sunshine
2. Sonic Mega Collection
3. Killer 7
4. Paper Mario
5. Metroid Prime
6. Metroid Prime 2
7. Pikmin

Says she thinks they have manuals and the definitely all have cases.

I'd love to add killer 7 to my GC collection as well as pikmin.

I already have Sunshine and Paper Mario so probably flip or trade those.

I may keep the Metroid games as I don't have them but I do have Trilogy on the Wii.

In related Craigslist news, I've begun flagging every single PS4/Xbone listing that I see.

Both consoles are on shelves everywhere in this area and flippers still have the balls to charge more then retail. Some of them are even making up bullshit sob stories to justify the markup. "Selling my sealed PS4 because my mom has brain cancer".

lol. Yeah, right.

One previously jizzed on poster please.

It says it was framed so I assume there was glass to keep the poster clean?


That depends on how desperate was him when hi buy the poster :P

Out of curiosity, what are you flagging them for?  They aren't violating any CL rules, are they?

Sure it buddy, sure it is.

I always found these videogame chairs to be tacky. I prefer the old classic leather recliner.

So... sorry to change my mind, but yeah, I like a few of these and want to keep some for personal collection. I'll scan whatever is needed and send the rest of the boxes to Arseen soon.

It's a neat lot, but I don't really like "make an offer" deals, especially with people that claim to know what their stuff is worth (usually they look up on Amazon or ebay).

I never know how much to offer. Offer too much and I always wonder if I might have gotten a better deal. Offer too little and they get all huffy like I insulted their mom.

Awesome lot, but anyone who actually truly knows the value of that lot wouldn't sell it together. The crossover of people who still need a sega system and also  knuckles chaotix are fairly small. I'd shoot your lowest offer and expect to get shut down, If he really wanted to sell the deal, things would be listed seperately

I pretty much always make a lowball offer at first. It gives me room to negotiate, but sometimes it's accepted right away too. If the seller gets all huffy puffy and starts quoting eBay BIN prices then I know it's somebody that I don't want to deal with anyways.

Not really Craigslist related but sort of on topic.

I went to the local value village and they had an original xbox - just the console - untested for $49.99.

Then on the wall of electronics they had a controller, the AV cables, and the AC adapter priced at $4.99, $4.99 and $2.99 respectively.

Kinda said that so called "Thrift" stores are trying to rip people off now.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: Nacho3 on January 22, 2014, 12:47:37 PM
Overpricing at thrift stores doesn't bug me as much as inconsistent pricing. I visit a few Goodwills on a pretty regular basis and one day they have a Gamecube (or Xbox, or whatever) for $4.99 then the next they have another for $39.99. They get all of this stuff for free so all systems should be set at one price. It's the same way with everything they get, it's so frustrating.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: larryinc64 on January 22, 2014, 10:48:46 PM
They do not know what is what at thrift stores. When I see a system, the chords are sometimes priced separately. I normally say they go with the system and they get tossed together for free. When I found a GB Player with no disc, there was a Gamecube else were with the disc in it, and they tossed it in, $6, woo. I had to carry the disc a few blocks to Gamestop with no case though. I got a spare DVD case from GS for free.  
Sometimes if I'm in there and see a chord that goes with a system loose, and I'm not buying it, I stick it together for who ever does.
Once or twice they bundled something that does not, I got a Xbox with a PS2 controller, and a Tomb Raider 3 manual with a sealed Tomb Raider Last Revelation. The clerk normally does not care, sometimes they ask the manager, most of the time, if it looks similar, they will do it. A blender does not go with a pair of pants.

In other news. Been looking at this.

An experience that seems a bit shady...

Started yesterday afternoon...I saw an ad for a ps1 mini with a bag, controllers and a couple sports games.  Price was all right but distance was a bit of a drive.  I sent an email telling him I'd take it and if he'd be available today.

He replies back asking for my number (yet never gave me his).  I guess to see if I was legit?  Well I sent him my number and he then replied back saying that the system is still available (meanwhile this was like an hr after he posted the ad) and his price was firm and gives me an intersection address stating that he's a few blocks away from there.  Then he asks for a "FIRM" time that I can be there and that he'd confirm that he's available...and again to make sure Im 100% positive I can be there.

I tell him I can be there at a specific time and that I'm positive I can make it.  Well...since that last email he sent I haven't heard back from him...I believe he might have tried calling me but seeing as how I don't pick up numbers I don't recognize I just let it go to voice mail (left no message though...probably cause I have the default message still set).  Since then I haven't heard from him.  I emailed him this morning that I needed the info by 10 so I can be there on time as per his request...but still nothing.

I'm thinking that he just expects me to drive to a random location and that at the time I told him i'd be there to pick up is when he'd send me his info.  I mean it's not like this is some drug deal or anything but he's acting as if someone's out to get him.

Anyway, at this point even if I hear back from him I'm just gonna let it go since I just don't feel comfortable anymore meeting up with him if he's being this secretive...just sucks that he has my number now and possibly email address :/

http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-video-games-consoles-older-generation-What-will-you-give-me-for-this-W0QQAdIdZ561653964

Offered the guy $150 for the lot and then he edits his add to say he has an offer of $150 ... kind of a dick move IMO.

I want to email him back and tell him to fuck himself but I also want to get the lot for $150 .. I figure I can resell what I already have and get some carts I want for free.

He updated it again saying his new offer was at 180...just seems like hes using it as a sort of replacement for ebay and that hes just going to keep on waiting till he gets what he really wants.  I doubt hed sell anytime soon...maybe in a few days when he hasnt gotten any other offers
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: mojoeskateco on January 24, 2014, 03:23:01 PM
He replied telling me that he had offers of $180 and $160 ... I told him no thanks.

The carts I would have kept are  Contra III, SSF2, F Zero, and Daffy Duck ... they are all pretty common so I'm not going to bend over backwards to try and get them.

Odds are a local reseller will get them and I'll see them re-posted at eBay BIN prices by tomorrow.

Can't wait for Spring when I can start yard sales again! ;D

Not bad for around $2 a box

I picked these boxes with no games up. If anyone wants me to scan anything or wants some boxes hit me up. A lot of the boxes are complete minus the game. Unfortunately, Killer Instinct doesn't have a manual or Killer Cuts, but everything else is there.

I have a few things on CL right now, and of course I get these two spam emails as soon as the listings went up.  The ol "I'll send you a certified check, then I will pick the item up later.  I will write the check for XXX over the amount, you just need to send back..." bullshit.

So, I figured I'd troll the shit out of this asshole.  So far I've given him 5 different addresses to send the check to because "I can't remember which one is the correct address", and have been offering other non-existent products to him for a "great price", and all sorts of other BS.  I'll see how long I can string him along.

Blumpkin, if you go for it, I'm interested in buying some of the games you don't want from the lot to recoup some of the expense. Just waiting for my end of year bonus to cash out. I've got a list of my really small n64 collection in my sig below, so I'm pretty much interested in anything I don't have. :)

Normally it wouldn't be anything jumping for. But given the excellent condition of the box and everything I think that it's a rather good deal. You could always start with an offer of $60 too, but even $75 seems pretty good.

Absolutely none. These idiots think that they can screw people who don't know any better and the sad part is sometimes people fall for these stupid outrageous ads. Although in this day and age it is really easy to look up how much games go for at the drop of a hat, so I can't imagine anyone with common sense buying those games at those prices

Um...

I've got a few things listed and nearly every reply is the same. "What's the lowest you'll go on it?"  That's not how price negotiation works. I list at $X, you offer a specific amount, then we go from there.

That guy is just a dufus.  Why is he selling for over what they're worth and why is he exclaiming it in his description as if it's something that would help the sale?   Retro game sellers' ads sound more like they think they're doing potential buyers some huge favor by selling their games anymore, and somehow buying in large lots no longer saves you any money and sometimes even costs MORE.  The fuck?!

Guess I'm just getting old.

Hey Jeff, I wouldn't go for that deal. It probably goes for $75 on ebay and the manual isn't worth that much imo. My personal rule is that if I have to drive anywhere for a game(s) then it should cost significantly less than what I would pay online.

Conker for Xbox is called Conker Live and Reloaded so maybe it's N64 but neither version is worth that much (xbox version goes for $30 last time I checked). You could always shoot the guy an email to verify but I wouldn't bother if he's asking ebay price for a local sale (or in your case, not local, since you have to drive a ways).

When I want to know what something is worth I check 2 things: pricecharting.com and ebay.com "sold listings". What people are asking for an item is irrelevant. I always check the sold listings 1st. Hope that helps

Definitely DERP..unless you're looking for the deal of a lifetime!

I dont really blame the guy. Some guy he knows was like "yeah and xbox one is like 500 bucks" and the dudes like, "I got an xbox one lying around somewhere" not knowing it is the first generation xbox.

Seriously?!  Are people incapable of haggling or do they seriously think that I'll just maker my own counter-offer on an item that I'm selling?  I posted a price.  That's my offer.  Want to pay less?  Then offer a lower number.  Jeebus Cripes.

I'm thinking he might've gotten the limited edition release and sold off the box and contents...meanwhile he played the game to his hearts content and now he doesn't want the game anymore.  While it could be gamestop, I doubt it in this cause seeing as how they have plenty of 3ds games used with the box

Word.

Quote
"It goes for this on Ebay so I think I can ask that on Craigslist then get pissed when someone lowballs me". When you sell something on Ebay you have to take good pictures, write a description, set shipping and price, and usually wait a week if you do auction style. Then Ebay takes a percentage of your selling amount, Paypal takes some, and you have to pay to ship the item.

On CL you have posts like this, "I have a Nitendo with like 4-8 games, I looked these up and know what they worth. 100 obo". COUNT THEM AND LIST THE DAYMN TITLES! Take some pictures with a camera and not your shitty phone. Then if youre going to use Ebay you need to look at "Sold Listings", you cant just type in your item and look at the first few items. Anybody can ask whatever stupid price they want. Doesnt mean thats what the items actually go for! Then since this is free Craigslist and you wont be accepting Paypal or mailing the items you need to basically go about 50% of your price! People lowball you because they will actually take the effort in making an Ebay listing and will deal with all the fees associated in doing so.

PS1s, Gameboys, Gameboy Colors, Sega Genesis, and a few others are basically worthless BTW. Any PS2 or PS3 will play PS1 games. A Gameboy Advance will play any GB or GBC game. Sega rereleases their Genesis games on EVERYTHING! Sports games dont add any value to your bundles unless they are the current year because noone wants old sports games at all! Ive noticed alot of people think theyre stuff is rare and its always something that sold millions and millions of copies! Rare items are Limited Editions and old games that are still sealed or complete in the original box.

Use your brains people! Craigslist is not the place to expect Ebay prices. Its purpose was to be like an online yardsale where you try to just get rid of stuff you dont want for cheap. Make an Ebay account if you want what "its worth".

Mod Edit, just slapping this here before the CL post goes down, so people can know what was said.

I'm 100% with that guy. Buying on CL is a complete chore. I recall buying Mario Party 1-3 sometime last year and the ad for them was the worst ever. Guy listed "I have a lot of games, ask me for specific titles". First off, if you know what titles you have, then fucking list them. Them when I managed to get a list from him and I told him what I wanted from the list, he goes "well I'm not really trying to sell them right now, so you'll just have to make me an offer". The fuck?!  Shit didn't even make sense. Anyway, I made him an offer which ended up being a pretty good deal. Still, the process was nauseating. Don't even get me started on trying to sell shit on CL. Some guy offered me 1/4 of what I'm asking for a lot of broken 360 consoles then had the balls to tell me I'd have to bring them to him because "he doesn't drive".  Oh, ok. Sounds like a good deal for me.

The worst is when they show up at the meeting with half of what they agreed to bring, expecting you to take it because it would be 'a waste of time to come out here for nothing!'

That is unspeakably irritating, especially because they are (in my experience, at least), really smug about it, as if they've pulled a clever trick.

I'm glad I did not have to much trouble with CL people.

When I got my Rockband Beatles set, the guy came without the dongles, calming he lost them, but took off $10 from $50 to $40 and tossed in a guitar stand.
I gave him $45 to be nice, but then I found out when I got home the dongles go for $30 instead of $5. Still came out with a ok deal.

I sell on Kijiji a lot and I'd say about 75% of the people that reply lack basic reading comprehension and common sense.

I make my asking prices very clear and also state that they have to pick up at my place and state the area that I live in.

The questions I get asked the most are:

1. How much for item "x"? (as opposed to making an actual offer based off the price I've put)
2. Where abouts are you located? (The add says the area of the city I live in along with the postal code)
3. Can you deliver here? (It says right in the add that I don't)

The worse is when people try and lowball you on a low priced item and then ask you to deliver it somewhere half an hour a way.  Common sense should help them figure out that no one in their right mind is going to burn an hour of their time and gas $$ to sell something for $5.

One good thing is that there lots of lazy people that don't take a picture of everything they have or take the time to list things.  I'll usually take the 2 mins to ask and sometimes I can snipe a good deal this way.

This here is exactly why I just choose to purchase games on eBay. I'm sure a lot of you guys are thinking, "man what an idiot, he's paying market value for his games," but I honestly prefer to not deal with idiots and weirdos on Craigslist. Why go through the hassle of arranging to meet up with a complete stranger who may be wasting your time when I can buy my games at the comfort of my own home with just a few clicks of a button? And keep in mind when it comes down to it, yeah you are paying a premium for games but if it makes you happy then price is no object (unless of course it interferes with your life expenses). I just recently purchases Mighty Final Fight for the NES and paid close to eBay going rate for it and I got a lot of crap from a buddy of mine. But if I really wanna play the game and it makes me happy to have it in my collection then whats the big deal? Its not like 70 bucks is gonna make me go broke.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: mojoeskateco on April 11, 2014, 10:23:39 AM
I find buying isn't as bad.  There are some sketchy people but usually they are too dumb to fool you into thinking they are legit.

I can tell by the tone of most emails who I am dealing with.

As for paying a premium to get something good like MFF - I'm all for that and do it quite often. 

ebay isn't much of an option anymore for me as their international shipping program is just retarded expensive for Canadians now and the majority of the items I want are in the USA.  Also there is a chance that I get hit with a customs fee and HST when the item shows up.

I'll use NintendoAge and the local retro shop which is basically priced the same or lower than ebay prices but without the shipping and I can inspect the items first hand.

I basically have two streams of $$ to put towards collecting and I put them towards different things.

I give my self a budget of about $60-$100 per paycheck to spend on newer games which allows me to pick up the Collector's Editions that I want for current gen stuff.

I also hit up thrift shops, yard sales, look for lots online, and keep what I want and resell what I don't want - any profit here goes towards expensive retro titles that I want for my collection.  I find it's easier to pay market price with "free" money.  I realize that it takes lots of time to buy and sell stuff but I like it and treat it more as a hobby that makes me some extra cash to grow my collection guilt free :)

I understand the hatred for Craigslist lately, but keep in mind that when you DO find something for a great price, it's awesome.  For me, the search is half the fun.  Last month I found a fat PS2 with video calbes, AC cable and one controller for $20.  It works perfectly.  I already had a PS2, but at that price, who cares?  If this Game Gear deal works out, I will be just as happy. 

Good deals can be found, it just takes some work and patience.

People list stuff on eBay that way too. It's obnoxious and makes no sense.


Tried texting, got no response :P

I'l almost not want the plastic cases. Also, HOLY CRAP, I MISSED YOUR NIC IS A PONTIAC REFRENCE.

haha hell ya it is. I've wanted one since I was 16, and now that i'm old enough and can afford one they are so rare where I live its pretty impossible unless I get one cross country and with the weather here in Massachusetts its not really worth it since I can't garage it.

but it is and will always be my favorite car.

Also that AD has been edited, he only wants $40 for it after it being on Amazon for 80. lol

I drive a 2009 G8, first and only car I'll ever buy new.  It's the GT model, so 360 HP, but 28ish MPG.  It was my daily driver for 3 years, so needed to save some. They ater made a firehawk edition of the G8, http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2009-pontiac-g8-gt-slp-firehawk-specialty-file

I do know of someone in my area with a firehawk they bought just for collecting.  He has it in storage.

Nice when I was a teenager this was my 1st encounter with a Firehawk in person. The kid totalled it a couple weeks later after I Took these pictures.. I was very upset not only at the fact some young kid just a couple years older than me had it but he drove like an idiot and wrapped it around a pole..

My favorites are:

"Brand new. Only been used once!"

and

"CIB. Only missing box and manual!"

and of course

"NBA Live '97 - RARE!!!!!!!!!" (or insert any other extremely common game)

The worst is people on Ebay posting things as "Very Good" or "Like New" condition when it is disc only.  They are talking about how the disc is in very good condition, yet even at the lower "Good" category you still must include the cover and instructions.  Anything that is disc only MUST be listed as "Acceptable" by Ebay standards, but no one seems to care.  Drives me crazy which is why I don't trust that anymore...and if you post something from your iPhone with no description and no picture I'm not gonna touch it.

This.

Plus, eBay also gives the seller the option to list the item as brand new even if it's open and without the original packaging.  I can understand "like new," but nothing that has been opened is brand new.

Man, those phone listing are the absolute worst. I can't believe they let people list shit like that. eBay flat out tells you "no, you can't do that" if you try and list on the full site with absolutely no description.   People get lazier and lazier every day...

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/vgm/4418045979.html

These two ads are from the same seller.  $125 for both ads together which I'm assuming is $25 for each GB Pocket and $5 per game. 
I called him today and offered $80 ($25 per GB Pocket and $2 per game).  I'm pretty disapointed that he didn't take it.  I asked if he had a counter, but he said no.  I've seen these same two ads for over a month now so I know that he hasn't had any takers for a while, but I guess he's pretty firm.  He seemed like a nice guy at least.  I told him to call me back if he changed his mind.  I might go $90, but I just can't justify his full asking price.

Hey,

Thanks for these emails - sorry I couldn’t respond earlier, I just got off work.
I know you were talking about how you were low-balled earlier, and please know that the offer I’m going to make isn’t meant to offend you at all - it is what I think is a fair price for the lot.

I am not that interested in the NES games, just the N64 and SNES. NES was a little before I was old enough to really enjoy the games, so SNES and N64 are the nostalgic ones for me! They are the ones I really collect.

With that said, I would be willing to offer $650 for the N64 and SNES stuff if you are interested. What do you think?

Please let me know.


Travls



The offer I got the other day was $800 that is $4 a game your offering $650 that is only $3.25c a game about 30 of my n64 games are atleast priced at $50 just those right their add up to 1500 let alone the other n64 games i was only pricing at $10 each their is 47 of them that adds up to about 470 so that right their is about $1970 just for the n64 games let alone the n64 systems controllers 8 packs for the systems/controllers and the entire snes package no i cant even consider that price that is way off from what i can get just by walking into all aboard games down town im looking to get about $2800 for all of my n64,snes,nes stuff and that is fair pricing


Ok no problem. Thanks for considering my offer, good luck in your sale.

if their is any games you would like to buy individually let me know just send me a list with the games and prices you would pay for them ?

Hey,

I appreciate the offer for specific games, but I believe we are at two different ranges for game prices and I don’t want to send you offers that are lower than you have priced, especially if you can get more from other people in town. When I made the offer below for your N64 and SNES, I priced the games based on video game price charts and eBay prices (less the shipping costs). I think that I will take that route for specific games I am looking for.

Thanks again for considering my offer, and giving me the option to choose specific games.


Travis

I just couldn't believe how much she was saying her n64 games were worth, Im pretty sure people sell complete N64 loose cart set goes for around $2000? and she wants $1970 for just what she has there without any really hard to find games.

2- he's so stupid that he didn't notice that you take less effort writing on a pc than writing on paper

Looks too good to be true. I don't even want to go. I'm afraid to be disappointed because the pictures are too beautiful.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/gms/4447786185.html

Probably just pulled the pictures from online too attract us videogame hunters. They even have a disclaimer that the items in the pictures may not still be available so I bet it's just a lure to bring a good turnout to their sale.

Yeah, I think it's bullshit, but I can't help myself but visit now. It's just down the street from me. I fully expect to be disappointed. Bet I ask about videogames and they bring out some old Barbie Adventure Chronicles or some shit.

This disclaimer, I shouldn't waste my time: "Ad may or may not include images from past and previous activities which may or may not be available and are intended for demonstrative purposes only and not necessarily representative of items which may or may not be available"

I actually brought this up before about games I needed to have, but didn't care if they were jap or american carts and megaman fits the bill because you can play it and not need to read anything.

too bad the same can't be said for final fantasy, but having the jap versions isn't so bad i like their carts and boxes better they will look nice on a shelf!

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-xbox-360/ottawa/are-you-amazing-at-guitar-hero/590525254?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Wants to pay someone to teach him how to beat Guitar Hero 3.

1. - I don't see what someone could teach you that youtube or practice couldn't
2. - Do people still give a crap about Guitar Hero?

I typically see most of those go for about $20 to $25 a piece.  So it isn't the deal of the century, but he isn't over charging either.  He did say OBO, so you can offer him less.  If you can get him below $100, I'd say go for it.

The bottom game is most certainly Super Mario All-Stars. You also have Street Fighter II in the top right, Aladdin in the bottom right, with TMNT IV: Turtles in Time above it. The remainders are some baseball game in the top middle, Mortal Kombat 3 just below DKC, and two copies of another game I can't quite make out.

Lol, maybe, but I can see the benefit of this...it will help weed out people who aren't really serious about purchasing or discouraging having someone meet up with them just to rob them of the items.  I've always preffered to meet in public places and a couple times that I had to meet up at a person's house I never accepted their invitation inside lol.  My excuse being if they're willing to show me that it works when I'm there...I'll take their word for it haha

Average value for the games are $90, $40, $30 and $10 (in order), so if he's asking more than $170 for the lot, it's too high.  Personally I'd offer around $140 as lowballing/heavy negotiating on craigslist doesn't seem to work too well (in my own humble experience, anyway).  But if the guy is desperate he may go lower.  Hopefully he isn't aware of what he has.

That's $16/game.  If you said his top 100 games were worth $50 each, that would mean 5,000 for them, and all his crap games would still average $7

Also, no game pics, just a nes and notepad.  Only one of any value I noticed was Gargoyle's Quest II, adventure island 3, megamans and yea, that's about all I made out there.  Fake offer for bragging I bet.  How can you have pics of the notepad full of games, but not of the games?

Can't decide if this is a good deal or not, plus I'm not much of a Jaguar expert but a local pawn shop is selling a working Jaguar, 2 controllers, hookups, and 4 games (Cybermorph, Burnout, Raiden, Skiing and Snowboarding). They're asking $180, but I could probably negotiate some if I went in the store. Is this a deal worth looking in to?

Edit: Pricechart says it's a pretty good deal, but has controllers valued at $83 a piece which doesn't seem right. eBay says it's not a great deal

Edit: Pricechart says it's a pretty good deal, but has controllers valued at $83 a piece which doesn't seem right. eBay says it's not a great deal

A working Jaguar with one controller and all cables shouldn't be more then about $100.  An extra controller should be about $15 to $20.  None of those games are big name games , so they shouldn't go for more then $10 each, except maybe Raiden.  

Doesn't seem to be that good of a deal to me unless he is willing to deal.


***EDIT***
I should clarify that he seems to be asking market price and, in my opinion, a good deal would be well under market.  That's why I don't think it's a good deal unless he is willing to come down on the price.

Yeah, I was too late.  I emailed the guy about it, but he said somebody claimed it about 10 minutes before I did.  So I just missed out.  I counter offered, offering him way more than the asking price for just a few of the games, but he had to stick with his integrity and honor the original sale - which I respect.  If the guy doesn't pick them up in time (by tomorrow), they're mine.  But with my luck, he already has.

Well here's the thing - I posted 2 different craigslist posts...one about a scam PS4 for like $100 or something, then a second about a kid selling off his video game lot for crazy low prices.
I ignored the PS4 bs post, but I ended up in a bidding war with another guy for some of the video games from the kid's collection.  He had some great games for like $2 a piece, including Sash Bros Melee, Skies of Arcadia, Tech Romancer, etc.
Anyway, I suggested that we just split the good stuff, and the seller and hte other guy agreed.  He got a lot of Gundam games, some good Dreamcast games, and the Gamecube Resident Evil titles.

I got Smash Bros Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Windwaker, Digimon World 1, Digimon World 2, Skies of Arcadia, Marvel vs Capcom and Marvel vs Capcom 2.  I also got 4 other cheap PS1 games.  All for $100.

So it turned out pretty well, considering the price for the Digimon Games, Skies of Arcadia and SSBM alone.

If its 600dpi it won't make a noticeable difference (since it will be resized to 300dpi later). Plus it can be pretty difficult scanning it perfectly straight.

Post by: Megatron on July 07, 2014, 09:37:51 AM
If straight is really important, then I will.  But my scanner really sucks, as that the edge has a "dead zone'" of about 1cm.  So I have to position it further down to get the whole thing.  And when I place something on top of it, it usually turns it.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: Ozzy_98 on July 07, 2014, 09:50:16 AM
sounds a lot like my scanner, but it's much more than a centimeter around the dead zone on the edges, closer to 1 1/2 inches. Sides, top, bottom all have this issue.

Funny cause the document scanner in it is awesome.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: TDIRunner on July 07, 2014, 10:38:05 AM
I have a dead zone on my scanner as well.  I took a file folder which has a perfect 90 degree edge on the outside and cut out a perfect 90 degree corner on the inside (this needs to be precise and is difficult to do, but it only has to be done ONE TIME).  Therefore, I created new 90 degree edge guide which is large enough to get my documents outside of the dead zone.  Since it's a file folder, the other half is used to lay on top of the document being scanned to hold it down and create a uniform color behind the image.  This has made scanning much easier and I have not received any complaints about my scans being out of alignment.

If my description isn' helping, I will take pictures of everything later tonight.  

With that said, it really brings my piss to a boil that I have to go through such BS to get my scans straight.  What is the purpose of the edge guide if you can't use it. >:(

There iss always lost in detail when turning.
On small screen it'as not noticeable, but on big screen and when printed it is.
Besides the simple knowledge that it could have been more detailed bugs me. 8)

Plus it can be pretty difficult scanning it perfectly straight

Oh believe me that I know as my old scanner auto-cropped 4mm from the edge so I could not use the edges to keep the stuff straight ;D

I've spammed this guy from 8 or 9 different emails inquiring about it, then canceling the order saying it's a reproduction.  It isn't even a very convincing looking repro.
And a quick google search could tell anyone this game never had a SNES release (Super Fami only)

While I didn't make any offers on the Xbox games, I did go into the store and find a sealed/mint copy of Magna Carta for PS2. He first stated $60, but I got him down to $40 and to toss in some Game Boy games for free.

I see that he's taken a pick of the other PS2 gems that I passed on. I want all of them, but funds...

None of those were stickered, they're priced on the spot. But these guys are pretty competitive, taking a few dollars off eBay/Amazon prices. They're trying to always undercut another guy that used to work in their shop, but opened his own store across the street (and that guy always overcharges). If you want to inquire I can tell you where to find them on Facebook.

Lot of people checking for deals on Craigslist in So Cal so you have to reply within a few minutes of a good ad being posted or it will get swooped up by someone else. Your best bet is to constantly check the listings and don't just search the video game section. Search the entire "for sale" section. I once saw a decent lot of SNES go up in the "free" section. Sometimes people don't know what they have and just post "games" in the title so use more than one search term. You also have to ask yourself what your time is worth to be checking listings all the time and if you're willing to put up with the stress of getting beat out of a deal by some shark or driving somewhere to pick up only to have a person flake on you.

I'll classify this one under "DERP!".  I seriously hate posts like this more than anything...

That's about 90% of CL.

NEW UNOPENED - Nintendo Wii Console Bundle, w/ Wii Sports Games

http://cnj.craigslist.org/vgm/4603832879.html

This high-value configuration includes a black Wii console, and both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort game discs, as well as Wii MotionPlus, Wii Remote, and Nunchuk controller - all black to match the console. Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort games include a wide variety of sports like bowling, tennis, baseball, archery, table tennis, basketball, golf, boxing, etc.

Absolutely Brand New! I received as a gift and never opened the box! Pickup in Cranford 07016, or I can drop off in surrounding towns. Current MSRP is $429, asking $350, or best offer available.

The deal of a lifetime!!!!

--edit--

Just checked amazon.....when did the prices of the wii jump up so high??

I got this Gamecube lot on craigslist. The seller told me that he's been selling stuff on craigslist for 5 years and has never had the response that he did for the gamecube stuff.

I spent a little more than I wanted to at $140, but there are some valuable games. What do you guys think? Was it an ok deal?

Gamecube with 4 controllers (3 are 1st party), memory card, 2 a/c adapters, a/v cables, and 1 memory card
(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/2014-09-09163110.jpg)

Good games are LoZ Windwaker, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, F-Zero GX, Pokémon XD, Star Fox Adventures, and Wario World

pretty good price in my opinion, you'd definitely pay more trying to get each game by themselves on ebay

At first, I thought that sounded like a lot for GC stuff, but than I broke it down.

The way I see it, a working GC with one controller and all cables is worth about $25.  The extra controllers and memory card are worth about another $15.  That's $40 so far.  That means you paid $100 for the 16 games, or $6.25 per game. 

Yeah, I would say it's a good deal.

Speaking of good deals, the Craigslist ad I found yesterday qualified as the "good."  I can't show the link because she already took it down, but she was selling 89 PS2 games (all CIB) with a fat PS2, six memory cards, and two wireless Logitech controllers.  She was asking $150 and I offered $100.  She took it right away.  When I picked them up, she said she had several other calls, but no one could pick up the same day as I could.  The seller was extremely nice and very appreciative of my purchase.

When I got home, to my surprise, the PS2 had the HDD add-on installed.   :D

I broke it down a similar way.  I figure the PS2 with HDD, memory cards, and controllers is worth at least $40 which means I averaged  $0.67 per game.  Not bad considering there were only a few sports games and only 9 games that I already had.  

Hell, I only owned 61 PS2 games before making this purchase.  :P

I have pictures and a full list of the games in the September Pickups thread.

Disney's Bonkers Wax up!
Ecco The Dolphin : The Tides of Time
Legend of Illusion starring Micky Mouse
Pac-Man
Super Columns
Taz : in Escape from Mars
Zoop

for another $20 I bought Super Pong 4 in its original box.

A Derp not in a post but me trying to sell.

I have a sealed 3ds xl and i was asking $160 and a guy texted me asking if i still have it. So i texted him back saying yes i still have it and he asked me a few things about it like what year is on the back. I told him 2012 and he texted me back and asked where i am at *info of the city is in the post* so i told him were i like to meet up at. *its a star bucks* So he low balls me to $100 just because he said he is far away from me and i told him they are still $199 in shops so he said ok how about $150 so i said yes. Then he texts me asking if i had any older games to add with the deal so i lied and said all my games were ehop *i dont have any games i want to get rid of* Next day we were going to meet up around Noon and the dude goes dark i text him after noon and does not respond till the next night asking if i will take $135 for it. I mean come on i was asking $160 then you were going to going to buy it from me for $150 now you want it for $135. Really what the hell is wrong with peoples

I would be tempted to offer you $150 for it, but I've already spent over my limit for the month.  Plus I'm thinking about waiting for the revised model next year anyway.  

Did you say it's unopened?  What color is it?

I did that to a buyer at one point. The asshole kept changing his offer even after we had "agreed" on a price. I finally told him that every text that he sent with a question about the price would add $1 to what we had already agreed upon. He went away after about 2 more texts.

Scored a craigslist deal today. Person had a bunch of lame Wii games listed for $7 each, but I spotted LoZ Skyward Sword in the picture. When I met him he also had Mario Kart, which was not shown in the ad. I bought Mario Kart just to resell since I already own a copy. Pretty happy with the pick up for $14. He even met me near where I was working which was pretty cool of him.

I was reluctant to put my busted IS300 on CL based on the horrible experiences I've had over the last year or so while trying to sell various odds and ends.  I listed the car, 10 minutes later a guy calls, 45 minutes later he's at my house, 2 hours after that a tow truck comes to grab it and he pays me.  Less than 3 hours to unload a car from listing to cash in my hands.  I'm a happy camper :D

There's no reason to feel bad for her. She has no excuse for not knowing the actual value of the damned thing. It would take all of 30 seconds to look up what price GameStop offers, or how much they're fetching on eBay/amazon.  That's just lazy and ignorant on her part.

I see ads like this a fair amount. It also amazes me how often people will continue reposting the same ad as if putting their $500 original xbox or $300 original Wii at the top of the listings is going to help their cause. You'd think at some point they'd get the point that no one's calling and would drop the price a bit to complete the sale. Lately there's been some goon posting his grey N64 with 3 common games, all loose, for $300 on CL. Pretty ridiculous :D

I will say that it's pretty entertaining watching all of her responses to the trolling comments.  Everyone knows you never feed the trolls, but she is just pushing them further and further.  At this point, she'll never be able to list it without a bunch of random negative comments attached to the post. ::)

Hello,
I am looking to sell my BRAND NEW & UNOPENED Playstation 4 console. I am looking to sell it for $360, which is a good amount less than the usual $400 (plus tax) that every other retailer sells it for. The actual console is brand new & opened, but I will entertain all serious offers.

Definitely feel free to reach out with any questions or offers via e-mail or text since I'm at work during the day.

Thank you very much!

Can't tell if stolen or Black Friday Deal.

As far as i seen there was no black friday deal offering the ps4 for less than $399. Only deals was where it was $399 but came with extras like numerous games so i assume them have to be stolen

"Prices Firm"- even with a fair price, if you don't want to haggle you don't want to sell.
"I looked up the price on ebay." - if you want that price sell it there.
"bought it for $XXX"- not my problem and its worth less now (often see them still listing it for how much you can buy it new)
"want to trade *something cheaper* for *something more*- saw a guy asking to trade a WiiU for a xbone or you could buy it for $300
"*==RARE==* NES game" - it's duckhunt/mario
"SELLING I KNOW HOW MUCH ITS WORTH!"- Caps don't make it worth more grandma
"no low-balls/serious inquires only" - no inquires if i see this.
"nintendo DSi $150 with 10 games" - games are barbie/sports

I'm pretty sure we all feel the same way.

Sellers with high prices that constantly refresh their listings pretty much stink. There are so many of the same ads that have been listed for months that get refreshed everyday. I finally took a stab at this DS lot that's been listed for months now. The seller accused me of lowballing for offering $35 for all 4 Mario games: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4819353855.html

Ads like this are super common. I've lost motivation to search craigslist: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4848692659.html

That, and whenever a good ad does pop up it's liking drop chum in a shark tank. There's a big nerd frenzy and it seems like to have any chance of scoring you have to respond within milliseconds and be ready to drive wherever, cash in hand, and hope that someone doesn't swoop in and take it before you show up. Not worth it.

I'll bet this person has moved onto selling Vitas from secluded alleyways now :/

This drives me crazy as well. I've seen the same ad for a loose NES with two controllers, zapper, and Mario/Duck Hunt listed for $250 for weeks now. Who would seriously be interested in buying that?

(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/79f1/igw3j70di50p7o1zg.jpg)
Even with all the extras its not worth that much. The Turtle beach headset is probably already broken (they all are), COD games hold no value over time, and sports. Also these go for $190 at gamestop. If i was looking for a 360 i wouldn't even give this guy an offer because reasonable starts at half his asking price.

(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/020e/fyn1tl5i3kwtmszzg.jpg)
When I see these types of listings I am tempted to ask what the games are in case they are any good ones but they almost always end up to be shovel-ware.

Post by: FritzWhite on January 16, 2015, 09:56:35 PM
I'd personally regard that as a lowball offer myself to be honest.

Sure, it's low based off his asking price, which comes to $80. The 4 games are valued at $60 according to price charting which is based off of internet prices from ebay and amazon. I don't think ebay prices are attractive for a buyer looking on craigslist myself, but lots of CL sellers ask those prices.

I look at the fact that they (sellers) don't have to contend with shipping and handling, ebay fees, or waiting for their money to clear, so personally I think it's a fair offer. Based off of ebay pricing, I could see thinking it's too low, but if, as a buyer, I'm going to spend gas money and time to go put cash in his hand then it's not worth it for me to spend much more than half the online price. I feel the same if I'm trying to sell on craigslist. I don't ask as much as I would on ebay. People just expect to pay less if they have to drive to meet me and hand over cash.

This is another for the 'derp' category.

I went for a ridealong with a friend who was buying something on Craigslist yesterday. It was for an original fat DS (red), with the original box and manuals, a stylus, a charger, and a cased Mario Kart DS, for 40 dollars, all very clearly shown in the picture they had texted to my friend.

We showed up at the meeting place, and waited. About 15 minutes after the guy was supposed to show up, we got a text message that says, basically "sorry, i just lost the box and game and pen lol"

Then, a second message - "would you do 35 for just the ds"

We didn't go for it, mainly because he stuck hard to 35.

Post by: TDIRunner on January 21, 2015, 10:03:46 PM
With all of the examples of the idiots selling on Craigslist, I thought I would share an example of a seller doing it right.

I found a listing today for a huge lot of video games.  Most of it was PS2 and Xbox stuff that I wasn't interested in.  However, he also had an original Magnavox Odyssey with almost all of the original stuff (TV screen overlays, playing cards, stuff like that).  He didn't have a price and only asked for offers.  I'm not a fan of that, however, I offered $50 for all of the Magnavox stuff.  It goes for a lot more than that on eBay, so I figured why not?  He responded that someone had already offered to buy everything.  He said that he would keep in in the loop if the buyer backed out.  He was also honest enough to say that the buyer was getting EVERYTHING for $50 and that he would honor that offer to me if the buyer backed out.  That surprised me because he could have made a lot more money off me if he had kept his mouth shut about the original offer.  I thanked him and asked him to keep me updated.

Later this evening, he confirmed that the lot was sold and gone, but he still made sure that I knew about it and even thanked me for my interest and wished me luck in my future endeavors.

It sucks that I missed out on such a good deal, but it makes it a lot easier when you are dealing with such a professional seller.  If everyone on Craigslist was like him, I would do nothing buy shop there.

So there's hope after all.......even if it's rare.

Someone is selling a 3DS XL.  It's a blue model and they are asking $120.  They say they need the money and that they are willing to go down on price.  No pictures.

I figure I'll give it a go and offer $80 and ask for pictures.  He sends multiple pictures of all angles.  Everything looks good except there is a big ash tray in each picture. :-X  I ask him if the 3DS has a cigarette smell to it and he responds that it does not because he doesn't smoke........ :-\  Not buying it, but for $80, I might take a chance.  He comes back and says he can't do $80.  I ask what is the best he can do, but no response.  He mentioned that he has a Pokémon game and Smash Bros.  I offer $100 for everything with the games, but he says that the games are $40 each.  Since that's what they go for new, I walk away and thanked him for his time. 

I would rather wait for the new model anyway.

It is a good deal but I found the "will meet at GameStop to prove it works" line.

when I worked at GS we neeeeeever let people try out shit that they were selling like that.  just because we were a vid game store doesn't mean you can walk in and test your shit to sell elsewhere.
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: wiggy on February 07, 2015, 02:44:34 PM
If I worked at GS and someone came in asking to test their shit so they could sell it to some guy, I'd straight up laugh at them.  How moronic.  He'd probably act like he was going to trade it in, then have them test it, and then "change his mind".


So, check out the sweet discount this guy gives if you buy all of his games  ::)

something is shady with this.  That is way to low a price for what you get even with a missing controller.  The only thing I can thing of is that is what GameStop was going to give him in credit so he assumes that is what it is worth.  Could easily get $300 for that.  Maybe even $350.

Also no amount of LOLing can be enough for this listing.

That reminds me of the history of the native Indians of my country when Christopher Columbus discover this island  (all native Indians are all dead because the Spaniards kill them all). They exchange with the Spaniards gold for mirrors, just because the mirrors where shinier and they didn't knew the value of gold as the Spaniards
Title: Re: Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
Post by: sheep2001 on February 15, 2015, 09:54:27 AM
but in fairness to that analogy - the mirrors were worth more to the native indians, as they didn't have a load of them, and had no means of producing them - the gold was a natural resource that they had an abundance of.  Nobody got ripped off.

Well the box was crushed a somewhat plus it was an extra that I got for free when my family cleaned my dad's house (we could have been on hoarders) and he never got around to opening it. So I didn't really mind parting with it since I still have my own CIB. I actually have a few more games that he bought and never opened that I may trade eventually.

Post by: larryinc64 on February 15, 2015, 06:10:49 PM
Well, good condition CBFD seiled sells for $200 on eBay, and crushed would be harder to sell.

US vertions of Villager sells for $150, Roselina $40, Falcon $35 or so.

While hype is keeping prices up, the only thing that is going to bring the prices down a lot is a reprint, and it looks like none is going to happen any time soon. And Skylanders does not have a brand like Nintendo behind it, Nintendo figures almost always keep value and go nowhere but up.

Are you planning on opening them? KJM is looking for a us Roselina and I have a UK one spare.

I know this isn't universal, but every time I see someone say "make an offer" they are expecting way too much.  I won't pay market value for almost anything, so people usually get kinda pissy with me when I tell them if they want going rate to go on eBay.

True, vast majority of make an offer people have unrealistic expectations. Meeting someone on craigslist is a hassle and I prefer to avoid it unless it's an excellent deal. Ebay is retail price, but it's just so easy and convenient.

Here's some more typical stupid craigslist ads that will likely get relisted repeatedly for months and months.

Nice little SNES lot, but the price is just retarded.

Yes, but the idea behind these fake ads is to lure people to email that address, which will prompt a response ad to some bogus website or auction site to get the deal.  While one could argue the logic behind tempting fate on a "too good to be true" $200 PS4 with 6 games, what nimrod is going to be tempted by THIS!?   

They are probably hoping for people who email them asking if they are crazy or trying to prove how overpriced the game is.  Either way, they get email responses.

Or it could be legit! Some people seem to believe that things are worth more just because they 'took good care of it'

I had someone try to sell me an N64 with no cables or controllers for 120 dollars using that logic.

I mean, they sold less than 250,000 Jaguars (even the CDi sold more than that).  How many of these Kiosks could possibly exist?

I said this, and now I've found out that there are at least two of these in the St. Louis area.  The other one is complete, but not for sale.

I am creating a video game that will be multiplatform capable. The game will be made by me. The only thing is that you need to tell me what you would like added to the game. The game scenario will not be changed because it was chose by me. A list of things that I can change and not change for the game will be listed below. (Download Links & More Information is at the bottom of this Description)
 
I will make the game which could take between 4-8 more months. I have already started the game just some more minor details to the game will be changed and any requests by you. I am asking $1,000 or Best offer. No low ball offers. When you buy this you get: total ownership of the game (as if you made it), full control over what happens to it, and whatever you want to do with it. The game can be used as platforms such as:
 Android
 iPhone
 Blackberry
 Windows
 Linux
 Mac
 Web Player
 PS3/PS4
 PS Vita
 Xbox 360/ Xbox One
 Windows 8 Phone
 Windows Store
 
**If a platform is not listed, I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can add the platform to the Unity Editor.
 
When you buy this you will have to have a computer that has the Unity Personal Edition/Business Edition in order to use/edit/publish the game.
 
When you buy this I will store it on a flash drive, with all the necessary files for Unity.
 
Game Description:
 In the game, you roll a boll and collect rotating cubes. The game is 3-D. The game has shadows created by sunlight. The game character is a 3-D sphere. You roll and collect the cubes and after you complete the level you move on to the next. The first few levels are simple. You collect a few cubes and get used to the game. Then you get to where you have a maze, and if you get to the end and do not collect the minimum amount of cubes you have to restart.
 
What Cannot Be Changed:
 -The Main Character
 -The collectables
 -The scenario
 
What Can Be Changed:
 -Add more features
 -Add more visual features
 -And Countless more options (contact with an inquiry to find out)
 
The price is negotiable but it depends on the amount of added features, cooperation, and the price offered.
 
If you have a question or would like to buy the game look at the contact info above and email with your inquiry. No low ball offers and THIS IS a serious offer. Please take it seriously.

I've gotten some pretty good deals through an ad like this. I offer more than $2 a game usually, but I don't list any prices in my ad. It's free to list so there's nothing to lose except time looking at lists and pics of people's junk. A lot of people get indignant and rude when I don't offer them ebay prices or pass on their lot of sports games, but I've been able to work out some deals I was really satisfied with. I should probably run another one soon. I just haven't felt like dealing with all the people emailing and texting me all the time so I've taken a break from it. People will sell good stuff at reasonable prices when they need money fast.

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/vgm/4981173663.html


I don't have the ability to link a pic right now, but basically (in case the url link is dead) it's 14 n64 games including OoT, DK 64, Mario 64 and a nice mix of other $5-$10 games, all for $100.  They look a bit worn, but this is still the cheapest I have seen a lot of N64 games go for in a few months.

I know a friend who has also had success doing this.  I tend to say "why bother?" because there are so many ads for people who want to buy stuff, but maybe it's worth a shot.  Like you said, the ad is free and the worst thing that could happen is no one offers you anything.........  well the worth thing that could happen, is that someone murders you when you go to meet them.  But other than that, the worst thing that could happen is no one offers you anything.

Someone could also rob you, but this can happen anytime you go outside. I tried to differentiate my ad from some of the others out there by including pictures of all the systems I would take. Some grandmothers out there with a treasure trove of Nintendo might not have any idea what that is, but a picture can help. I also posted my ad in several different sections such as toys and electronics. Again, it's like going to goodwill or yard sales or anything else. You don't always find good stuff and sometimes you might run into some jerks, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Over time though, odds are something good will come your way. The longer you run your ads, the better your chances of catching something good.

I ran my ad after reading about a few nice pick ups from people on Nintendoage acquired from a response to a similar ad. One of them said in their post that if you've not tried one of these ads that you're missing out. While true, it's like any kind of game hunting. There's still work involved. You have to take the time to look for stuff. If you wanted to take it a step further you could post flyers up by stop lights at busy intersections or at the market,. A lot of grandmas don't use craigslist so you might catch the attention of someone sitting on some game treasures. You could probably even find some kids to pass flyers out door to door for you out in a neighborhood. This might shake out some Nintendos that people have been sitting on. Not everyone likes to throw garage sales. Some people hoard and sit on their stuff or their children's stuff their whole lives.

Making the ad short and sweet helps too. Cash for games along with list/pictures of the games you'll take, please send a list of what you have, you will receive an offer in a few hours. Be prepared for indignant jerks that want you to buy their PS2 with shitty sports disc only games for $100 and just wait for something good to come along. Good luck!

I saw a few "too good to be true" offers lately. I did an image search on google with the image on the add. It confirmed what I thought, the guy grabbed an old image from a forum. It was actually 7 years old!
I asked a question to the guy, he replied right away, then I asked if he had another picture, never got a reploy to that one, then he deleted the add and re-created it like if this is going to prevent me to find the add again.

The following day he created a new one with a new image, still filled with 100$+ rare games. What a loser.

Some guy in LV posted an add selling all his games for $2 including Little Samson, Earthbound, etc.  I don't know why people would waste their time making a fake ad?  What do you get out of it?

On a positive note - I did just score this Nintendo Power bundle for $20 tho. Too bad issue 1 had a ripped cover, but I already have that one in good condition.    Love collecting me some video game magazines for pennies on the dollar!  Magazine/book smell is so GOOD.

Sega Dreamcast lot. Console, 13 games, 2 controllers, 3 memory cards. Missing av cable but I'm sure that can be located fairly inexpensive as well. Priced to sell, moving cleaning out storage.

So, for the past month or so I've seen a couple ads for gba's for $35 each lot (will post up pics in the pick up thread).  Finally I decided to just email the guy and see if he'd take $50 for both.  He emails me back saying that he has a few systems for sale and that I should go to his house to make a deal...he sends me his address and phone number.  Feeling really uncomfortable with that I almost ignore the email...but I replied back saying that I'd rather meet up in a public place and that I was only interested in the gba's.  I also told him that I won't meet up unless we come to an agreement about price and location.

He replied back pretty quickly and agreed to the amount and also to meet up at a local walmart.  So after I leave work I head over to the walmart and wait for him to come by.  The guy drives up in his car (older man in his late 40's or 50's), doesn't get out and looks nervous as he's looking around...he hands over the gba's in plastic ziplock bags says everything works and drives away almost instantly after I hand him the money.  It almost felt like a drug deal and part of me thinks that if I was any younger or naïve I might have gotten kidnapped or something. 

But yeah, as uncomfortable as it was making that deal in a public area, I can only imagine how weird and uncomfortable it'd be at his home...

(also...1 gba doesn't work and at least 1 game isn't loading either :/ but maybe they just need a bit of tlc)

I just got this...$400 for 4 consoles and all games shown.  Will post in the pickups thread, but basically this was a gamer in his 50s who was moving on.  He based his price on what Gamestop would give him.  I actually told him his stuff was worth a bit more, but he said he didn't care.  He was happy to pass on the savings.

Thanks!  I got lucky with this one!
I usually don't buy unless I plan to keep - I'm not a big fan of people who buy strictly to re-sell.  That said, whenever I get a lot this big (especially one that already has duplicates in them) there is bound to be a few things I don't need/want.  So at that point I will probably sell or tade for something that I do need.

 Yes, they are all the same game.
 There all multiple label variations.
 There are a few with no labels.
 Corner the market on a classic game.

 All used with no books and no boxes.

 $100 takes them all.

Quote
I am willing to pay somebody $250 for every retro-Nintendo Game they can teach my non-video game literate 54 year old best friend.

 We would like to have more activities that we can do in common, and sense I grew up playing original Nintendo games, we decided that it would be cool if we were able to play them together. The problem is that I simply don't have the patience to teach her. Plus, since the end goal is for us to be able to play competitive games, a teacher other than me is needed.

 Another challenge to overcome is that, beyond not being video-game literate, she also has a slightly below average knowledge of sports, so be prepared to teach/give a little basic sport orientation for each sporting game.

 The first batch of games will be: RBI Baseball; Ring King; Blades of Steel; along with Kung Fu and Elevator Action. I anticipate likely adding additional titles as well, both on Nintendo as well as other game systems, such as Call of Duty on X Box 360.

 Bilingual (Spanish) a plus, though not necessary.

 I will test her skills on each game before money changes hands.

I won't post the link since it's from Facebook, and many won't be able to access the page, but a local police station in my area just announced that they now have two "internet purchase exchange" locations at our local police stations.  The areas are meant for people who agree to make purchases or exchanges online.  It's meant to be a safe location at a police station in a well lit area with 24 hour video surveillance.  Kind of a neat idea.

I've been meeting at the SD police station for a while now.  It's a great way to alleviate tension, especially when making higher priced transactions.

In the open parking lot, yes. There's no law against exchanging goods in a public place. At least not here. And there are lots of cameras, not to mention lots of cops. I suppose they may have the right to ask what you're buying, but when video games is the transaction that's hardly a problem. I think ever since there have been some really awful Craigslist violence in the United States, law enforcement is trying to make it as safe as possible

Not only do they let us do it, now they are suggesting that we do it for our own safety.  I love the idea.

I once sold a truck I owned private party.  Since I sold it for $19k, we did the transaction at a bank.  The buyer handed the money straight to the cashier (I never even touched the money).  She counted it and gave the buyer a receipt and gave me a deposit receipt.  Everyone was happy and it was safer for both parties.  No one could argue whether or not the amount of money was legit or all there. 

Also, I have to say, I had to laugh a bit when the buyer pulled out a roll of 19 grand worth of hundred dollar bills.   8)

that's cool, I thought you meant inside the station!

unfortunately, most car parks at UK cop shops are gated, no chance of exchanging there...

This could be a potential score... The seller doesn't know what they have, the price is random, and the listing has been up for 9 days without selling so they may be open to offers. Also, they could have more Dreamcast stuff or other systems that they also don't know anything about. They mispelled Nintendo so there's an ok chance that other sharks in the area have overlooked this listing which is another reason they may be open to a lower offer as they may not have had a very good response to the ad.

That's exactly what happens.  For me, it seems pretty obvious, so I just ignore them.  I actually know one of the guys who used to do it.  He got a lot of criticism from some of the local collectors (because we mostly know what everyone's collections look like).  So I think he sort of cooled off from doing that.

Sadly this is what Craiglist(or others alike) has come to. $21 isn't too bad, I often see people trying to sell games for 3 or 4 times their value. Forget finding deals on those sites, people spend their entire day refreshing the page and reselling their loot. When I sell games there I look at Ebay's sold listings and take off 15% of the amount(fees). IMO this is what it should be. Why pay those inflated prices and have to drive to the seller if I can just buy on Ebay for lower?! :P

Not to sound rude because I'm glad you found doctors and meds to help, but at least they know what's wrong with you, I've been going to the Dr.saround my area for almost 20 years due to chronic abdominal pain. I can't eat anything without getting extreme acid reflux. It always feels like a creature is trying to rip it's way out of my stomach. Always feel bloated and bruised. And either am really irregular going to the bathroom because I'm either constipated or have the runs.
They've tested for just about everything and finally have just kind of given up and labeled it as IBS...

Dude, I literally have the same thing.  Anytime I eat anything, no matter what or how little/much, it's like instant acid reflux and terrible stomach aches (which is not so great in itself, but extra awful when you've got anxiety disorders and also stress eat).  It's terrible and at times, downright debilitating because all that pain and frustration leaves me utterly exhausted a lot.

Oh yes I'm exhausted all the time. Never feel like I can get enough sleep.
I try my hardest to outwork people and do a good job at where I work, but sometimes (very rarely) the pain is so bad I just can't.

Makes it hard to exercise so I'm out of shape which makes it worse.

This has been ruled out right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease
In short that you cannot eat wheat, rye, barley nor oat... no matter how little even microscopic amounts in worts cases.
Quick and easy starter selftest is couple of spoonfulls of paste made out of normal flour and water or just plain white bread with glass of water.
If that makes your stomach go haywire Coeliac disease test is in place, if not that selftest pretty much rules the disease away.

Other things that spring to mind are other food allergies and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicobacter_pylori

I don't think I have celiacs disease, but I cut down on gluten in the last few years and feel like I have more energy. I get tired and feel bloated if I have a lot of bread, but that could also be from a spike in insulin.

Edit: The only other thing I would mention... it can always get worse. My cousin was in a motorcycle accident in February 1997. He was 18 years old and about to graduate HS. He was working on a mini bike and took it out in the parking lot for a ride. The sun was setting, shadows were long, and there was a rusty, unmarked chain he rode into. It crushed his larynx and he didn't breathe for about 12 minutes (he was alone until his friend showed up). He's blind, quadriplegic, had significant brain damage, and can't speak, but he's surrounded by people that love him and God watches over him. Be thankful for what we have while we have it because it won't last forever.

I'm not sure if I have ever been tested for Coeliac Dissease. I may try that at home test to see how it makes me feel.

I have tried probiotics. Didn't seem to help much if it even did. Plus I'm not a big fan of yogurt with fruit, which is what our stored normally sell around here. Kind of makes me want to gag getting a little slimy fruit piece in my mouth lol.
Sure it could be a lot worse. Hell for all I know I could have cancer and don't know it yet.

Yeah, I don't always go for the "it could be worse" advice, but sometimes I've needed it to bring my own problems into perspective which are a lot smaller than yours. Anyway, moving on from that, there are options outside of yogurt if you want to explore the probiotics any further. I don't like too much dairy and the sugar in a lot of yogurt makes me feel like shit. You could try taking probiotic in a supplement form or there's this drink called kombucha. I just discovered that stuff and I suck it down like coca cola, it's so good.

kombucha (this is a LOT cheaper at the store I go to if they carry it in your area): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kevita-Organic-Master-Brew-Ginger-Kombucha-15-2-Ounce-12-per-case-/222087031748?hash=item33b56b2bc4:g:TkMAAOSwpoJXD-KM

These may not help a bit, but with the way you're feeling, why not? Maybe try getting tested/cutting down on the gluten like Arseen recommended. Hope you feel better.

BTW: Sure you already know, but smoking, fast food, spicy food, booze, and caffeine can make it worse. You ever try juicing organic vegetables?
