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:
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.
(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.

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!

Can't make out the pictures. Usually when someone says "trust me, it's worth it" my automatic response is to balk.
wiggy:
That's my point. Those are the most useless pics ever. All I can really see is a random box of atari games and a stack of what I assume are 360 sports games.
palmer6strings:
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!!"
-_-
