Someone even offered to fill a hdd with a bunch of games for $300 and like $500 if you don't have an hdd and want the seller to supply one lol

Same here. It's total crap. Plus, like 2/3 of video game For Sale listings are these "I'll buy your used games for top dollar" asshats. One guy posts prices that he's willing I pay. Shit like $40 for Earthbound, and $15 for Super Metroid, and so on.  Jackasses. I hope moody actually takes them up on that shit.

Right, because broken systems are worth just as much as, if not more than good, workin systems :-\

Works out to about $24 per system. Derp.  Of course I offer $10 per ($300) and he the ol' insta-reject.

In fact, that seller's prices are sort of insane in general it seems.

i'm 100% for piracy for private use. modding is a respectable service as well, but making money off roms, actively putting a price on something that should be free is never ok in my book. i wonder how many times you have to report stuff like that before ebay takes any action. i've never even seen an item removed from the site no matter how obvious.

I'm just about done with Creg's List, I have currently 2 pending buys, One I am most likely picking up tomorrow, A Gamecube lot for $60, but another with a huge lot of stuff, I asked what games are included, he sends me a pic, I ask how much for a smaller portion of the lot, some very good CIB SNES games and a pile of GB games, no response for a few days, and none yet. I'm sending another email.
The GC woman never checks her mail, she says she only checks it once a day, and she gives me a number and never picks up.

The only thing I ever bought of there was an Atari 2600 for $40, His house was a pain to find but it was easy to contact.
