I think fritz is right on the money on this one. Had it happen to me on a few occasions. Kinda gives you a false sense of excitement thinking that it really is that cheap only to find its just a scam |

When you sell something on Ebay you have to take good pictures, write a description, set shipping and price, and usually wait a week if you do auction style. Then Ebay takes a percentage of your selling amount, Paypal takes some, and you have to pay to ship the item. On CL you have posts like this, "I have a Nitendo with like 4-8 games, I looked these up and know what they worth. 100 obo". COUNT THEM AND LIST THE DAYMN TITLES! Take some pictures with a camera and not your shitty phone. Then if youre going to use Ebay you need to look at "Sold Listings", you cant just type in your item and look at the first few items. Anybody can ask whatever stupid price they want. Doesnt mean thats what the items actually go for! Then since this is free Craigslist and you wont be accepting Paypal or mailing the items you need to basically go about 50% of your price! People lowball you because they will actually take the effort in making an Ebay listing and will deal with all the fees associated in doing so. PS1s, Gameboys, Gameboy Colors, Sega Genesis, and a few others are basically worthless BTW. Any PS2 or PS3 will play PS1 games. A Gameboy Advance will play any GB or GBC game. Sega rereleases their Genesis games on EVERYTHING! Sports games dont add any value to your bundles unless they are the current year because noone wants old sports games at all! Ive noticed alot of people think theyre stuff is rare and its always something that sold millions and millions of copies! Rare items are Limited Editions and old games that are still sealed or complete in the original box. Use your brains people! Craigslist is not the place to expect Ebay prices. Its purpose was to be like an online yardsale where you try to just get rid of stuff you dont want for cheap. Make an Ebay account if you want what "its worth". --- End quote --- Mod Edit, just slapping this here before the CL post goes down, so people can know what was said. |

I love watching the posts that start with a lofty "PRICE IS FIRM" statement. Then after weeks of listing the same thing over and over again it becomes half the price with "OBO" attached. lol |
