Yeah, I got a little excited about the ad thinking, 'Don't waste time lowballing! Take the deal for $175 before someone else gets it!' Ha ha, next time I'll read first.

I got a working SNES with power cable and controller for $15 a couple weeks ago on CL. All it lacked was the a/v so I was a happy camper.

Indeed, he wanted $175 for only the SNES. I am not driving two hours for that.

Make him an offer! Maybe something in the $150 range. He doesn't say that he is selling the games for $3000, only that they are worth over $3000, which may be the price he paid for them brand new.

Open up negotiations!

Some other crap games for the rest of the systems.

Still working it out but the guy said "I started to ignore all the other inquiries because I really don't care about selling it anymore and you sound really interested. Just let me know."
So unless something weird happens its mine, I'm splitting it with a friend, and trading in some stuff to get the price down.
You think it is worth it, I do for some select things.

You'd probably want to hold off on making an offer until you know exactly what you're getting. Maybe drive down or get a list.

So I replied to this one and the guy agreed to sell the games seperately for $15.  :)

Then I met him in the parking lot of his apartment complex only to find out I was buying games from a nazi. The dude had a very obvious "SS" tattoo on the side of his head, and I couldn't help but stare at it the entire time.

Why do morons.......  Feel the need to.....  Type like...... This?

It's like we have to wait for them to complete their thoughts.

"Um, what should I type next. Um. Um. Um..."

Some one is also selling a Pirate DS multicart by you.

I have one of those and like it pretty well. It's nice being able to access all of the games from one cart. Is that wrong?

Yes and no, mostly yes though.
