Hmm...seems legit.  I mean if it wasn't, he wouldn't want to avoid official craigslist channels and keep all this under the table, right?

Notice how he says "Perform Station" even though he shows a playstation.  My guess is its either stolen (most likely since it IS DC) or a bootloeg console - also possible in DC.

Yeah, I was too late.  I emailed the guy about it, but he said somebody claimed it about 10 minutes before I did.  So I just missed out.  I counter offered, offering him way more than the asking price for just a few of the games, but he had to stick with his integrity and honor the original sale - which I respect.  If the guy doesn't pick them up in time (by tomorrow), they're mine.  But with my luck, he already has.

Well here's the thing - I posted 2 different craigslist posts...one about a scam PS4 for like $100 or something, then a second about a kid selling off his video game lot for crazy low prices.
I ignored the PS4 bs post, but I ended up in a bidding war with another guy for some of the video games from the kid's collection.  He had some great games for like $2 a piece, including Sash Bros Melee, Skies of Arcadia, Tech Romancer, etc.
Anyway, I suggested that we just split the good stuff, and the seller and hte other guy agreed.  He got a lot of Gundam games, some good Dreamcast games, and the Gamecube Resident Evil titles.

I got Smash Bros Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Windwaker, Digimon World 1, Digimon World 2, Skies of Arcadia, Marvel vs Capcom and Marvel vs Capcom 2.  I also got 4 other cheap PS1 games.  All for $100.

So it turned out pretty well, considering the price for the Digimon Games, Skies of Arcadia and SSBM alone.

Would you scan them straight.

Turning them degrades quality.

If its 600dpi it won't make a noticeable difference (since it will be resized to 300dpi later). Plus it can be pretty difficult scanning it perfectly straight.
