Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!

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.

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.

Master system mk1 or mk2?

Worth it for a mk1 in my opinion.

[Mick Dundee]

try to get some games in there for the $40 or offer them a little less. Worst they can say is no.

[Blumpkin]

It is a Mk 1 model. And are they supposed to include the 3D glasses, or are they a separate item?

Separate, but there might be bundles where it was included.

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 There are huge 8 and 16 bit game collections out there just waiting to be discarded from someone that thinks they're outdated and worthless.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.

Yeah, I think there was a package that included Zaxxon or something.

I need to stop torturing myself with Craigslist. Super Mario RPG was on there for $15 earlier today. Of course someone swooped it up before I did.

Absolutely dead here for months, like 5 resellers all over craigslist but then again I havent seen anything worth buying in forever

[FritzWhite]

Yeah, they snatch up every really good offer if you don't respond to the best ads right away. Bunch of vultures!

[Blumpkin]

Resellers are a pain in the dick. Thankfully they can't be at every garage sale and unassuming pawn shop.

My goodness.
