If the Pokemon games weren't clear enough, look at the "other games" he has for sale

His description at least identifies the Pokemon games as reproductions, so it's mostly up-front about then being fake

He changed it.  It originally didn't say that.  I emailed him calling out his repros.  I wonder if anybody else did the same.

So that is what it's like when someone has a stroke while they type.

[sheep2001]

Is that a stroke, or a...you know....'stroke'?

i been seeing these for a while now when looking for other pokemon games. its funny there is a cover project member who lives in my area and looks for the same stuff i do

I just got outbid on this...apparently someone offered $700.  I know it may be WORTH that much (dollar for dollar if sold individually), but I'm sure not going to PAY that much.  Still, would have been nice to nab for a few hundred.

I just bought this...



I dunno..Ehrgiez is ok, but a few more things about this image stand out.  Just sayin'

 SUPER Jealous of your Tales game. one of 3 RPGs I want for the PS1 before I consider my older "Wants" all set. (ToD, ToD2 & Suikoden II)

Am I the only one put off when people "sound hostile" or just unreal in their listings?

"Prices Firm"- even with a fair price, if you don't want to haggle you don't want to sell.
"I looked up the price on ebay." - if you want that price sell it there.
"bought it for $XXX"- not my problem and its worth less now (often see them still listing it for how much you can buy it new)
"want to trade *something cheaper* for *something more*- saw a guy asking to trade a WiiU for a xbone or you could buy it for $300
"*==RARE==* NES game" - it's duckhunt/mario
"SELLING I KNOW HOW MUCH ITS WORTH!"- Caps don't make it worth more grandma
"no low-balls/serious inquires only" - no inquires if i see this.
"nintendo DSi $150 with 10 games" - games are barbie/sports

I'm pretty sure we all feel the same way.
 
My favorite recently, said "$150, OBO."  At the end of the listing, it said "price is firm."   

[wiggy]

Yeah, I'm 100% with you.

On the other end, you've got dummies who say "$75, but the lowest I'll take is $60".  So, um, I'm obviously NOT going to pay $75 for this since you've already done some of the haggling with yourself LOL!

[V3rtigo]

I agree except for this one. I don't want emails back and forth. I don't want to haggle. You either want it at my price or you don't. It really eliminates all the time wasters.

Sellers with high prices that constantly refresh their listings pretty much stink. There are so many of the same ads that have been listed for months that get refreshed everyday. I finally took a stab at this DS lot that's been listed for months now. The seller accused me of lowballing for offering $35 for all 4 Mario games: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4819353855.html

Ads like this are super common. I've lost motivation to search craigslist: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/vgm/4848692659.html

That, and whenever a good ad does pop up it's liking drop chum in a shark tank. There's a big nerd frenzy and it seems like to have any chance of scoring you have to respond within milliseconds and be ready to drive wherever, cash in hand, and hope that someone doesn't swoop in and take it before you show up. Not worth it.

[wiggy]

I'd personally regard that as a lowball offer myself to be honest.
