Craigslist: the good, the bad, & the DERP!

[tiktektak]

I also met a real dumbass at a flea market last week who exactly knew what things are worth nowadays as they are vintage!

There was a barren SNES lying on his desk with no controllers, no games, no nothing. So I asked if he got the cables and stuff somewhere. He told me yes. Then I asked how much it would be.

He told me 35 Euro !!without!! the cables and controllers and stuff and !!90!! Euros with cables.....

I laughed and wanted to walk away as he told me that I should check the Internet as these absolutely ARE the common prices nowaday!!!!!! *arrrrrrrgh*

On the other hand I got a NES with cables and 4 controllers and a multitap for 5 Euro some tables further. Strange world.

I always make it a point to remind those people that this isn't online. Sell it on eBay if you want to ask those prices. Then don't be surprised when you don't get the there either.

I got a laugh from this.

Pretty nice collection. I'd like to buy it but I don't think I could make a fair offer: http://maine.craigslist.org/vgm/3840631913.html

I hate when people don't list prices. Seems like more and more listings are that way. Like, "hey buyer, you do all the work, because I don't feel like it."

I remember seeing this, and I forgot to post it on this subject.

Sometimes, I just want to give people some jackknife powerbombs.

Someone had a lot up:

Worded kinda like that.

I Email him, I got a friend, looking for a cheep SNES

"I have a few questions about your Cregs List posting.
The Super Nintendo and NES together are $25, right?
Do both of them work?
And where in [city] are you? "

"25 each and everything works yes I am at [City]"

"Ok, great, I live in [City] too,
Can you give me your address, or at least your street so I know about how far away you live?"

"[Street]"

"Ok, you live fairly close, 15 min drive.
Do you have any games for the systems?"

"Yes a few"

"Ok, can I have a list of the games?"


No response for over a week, the ad is still there.  
I may shoot over one more email, if no response, screw it.

People are so fucking lazy.  Just post the damned games you have for sale!  I find that I have to ask like 90% of Craigslist sellers for a stupid list of games.


I know I already posted these in the pickups thread, but since I got em on CL and I would consider this a "good" at 60 bucks total, here they are again.

$2000 for a lot of old videos of people fucking? What a deal, sign me up!

If the person with the snes lives that close it might be worth a visit just to see what they've got. Maybe they have a couple gems.

Sometimes when a seller stops answering after you say you can do a pick-up it's a good sign there's a scam going on. Had a few experiences like that.

Or that the item has sold and they're too lazy/forget to take the ad down.

No, because he re-posted it after my last email to him because it scrolled down to much.
