Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!
palmer6strings:
Yeah, just the games alone are/were worth almost that last I looked.
TDIRunner:
At first, I thought that sounded like a lot for GC stuff, but than I broke it down.
The way I see it, a working GC with one controller and all cables is worth about $25. The extra controllers and memory card are worth about another $15. That's $40 so far. That means you paid $100 for the 16 games, or $6.25 per game.
Yeah, I would say it's a good deal.

Speaking of good deals, the Craigslist ad I found yesterday qualified as the "good." I can't show the link because she already took it down, but she was selling 89 PS2 games (all CIB) with a fat PS2, six memory cards, and two wireless Logitech controllers. She was asking $150 and I offered $100. She took it right away. When I picked them up, she said she had several other calls, but no one could pick up the same day as I could. The seller was extremely nice and very appreciative of my purchase.
When I got home, to my surprise, the PS2 had the HDD add-on installed. :D
I broke it down a similar way. I figure the PS2 with HDD, memory cards, and controllers is worth at least $40 which means I averaged $0.67 per game. Not bad considering there were only a few sports games and only 9 games that I already had.
Hell, I only owned 61 PS2 games before making this purchase. :P
I have pictures and a full list of the games in the September Pickups thread.

I'd love to find either that gamecube or ps2 lot over here. Either of those would cost more than twice as much. Great finds both of you!
