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:

Don't understand something, pre orders are right now at 390 for a PS4 and 400 something for an Xbox one?

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.

[e_brugal]

lol and why in the world i wolud pay 700 and 800 for a pre order, and the funny thing is that people is buy the pre order on ebay at that price 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.

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

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.

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
