Well, I sent him an email, asking him to hold it til Sunday, since that's when I'll be up there.

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.

hopefully you get rare gems.

You do not sell really rare and expensive titles like that!
2 + 3 = 23

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.

Thanks.
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.

I did. I ended up buying it from him. I have to leave for work now, but I will put up a list and pictures - you know, the stuff that should have been in the post in the first place - tomorrow!

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.



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.


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.

Gotta say, that's actually an impressive haul, all things considered. What a weird guy. I'd say take him up on that offer, haha.

pretty sweet haul. I don't know about rare, but the blue game gear is a lot more uncommon.
 I have 6 Game Gears, and I wish I had a blue one :P
