--- Quote ---I am creating a video game that will be multiplatform capable. The game will be made by me. The only thing is that you need to tell me what you would like added to the game. The game scenario will not be changed because it was chose by me. A list of things that I can change and not change for the game will be listed below. (Download Links & More Information is at the bottom of this Description)
I will make the game which could take between 4-8 more months. I have already started the game just some more minor details to the game will be changed and any requests by you. I am asking $1,000 or Best offer. No low ball offers. When you buy this you get: total ownership of the game (as if you made it), full control over what happens to it, and whatever you want to do with it. The game can be used as platforms such as:
Android
iPhone
Blackberry
Windows
Linux
Mac
Web Player
PS3/PS4
PS Vita
Xbox 360/ Xbox One
Windows 8 Phone
Windows Store
**If a platform is not listed, I am not 100% sure, but I believe you can add the platform to the Unity Editor.
When you buy this you will have to have a computer that has the Unity Personal Edition/Business Edition in order to use/edit/publish the game.
When you buy this I will store it on a flash drive, with all the necessary files for Unity.
Game Description:
In the game, you roll a boll and collect rotating cubes. The game is 3-D. The game has shadows created by sunlight. The game character is a 3-D sphere. You roll and collect the cubes and after you complete the level you move on to the next. The first few levels are simple. You collect a few cubes and get used to the game. Then you get to where you have a maze, and if you get to the end and do not collect the minimum amount of cubes you have to restart.
What Cannot Be Changed:
-The Main Character
-The collectables
-The scenario
What Can Be Changed:
-Add more features
-Add more visual features
-And Countless more options (contact with an inquiry to find out)
The price is negotiable but it depends on the amount of added features, cooperation, and the price offered.
If you have a question or would like to buy the game look at the contact info above and email with your inquiry. No low ball offers and THIS IS a serious offer. Please take it seriously.

I've gotten some pretty good deals through an ad like this. I offer more than $2 a game usually, but I don't list any prices in my ad. It's free to list so there's nothing to lose except time looking at lists and pics of people's junk. A lot of people get indignant and rude when I don't offer them ebay prices or pass on their lot of sports games, but I've been able to work out some deals I was really satisfied with. I should probably run another one soon. I just haven't felt like dealing with all the people emailing and texting me all the time so I've taken a break from it. People will sell good stuff at reasonable prices when they need money fast.

It's nice to see that not EVERYONE is a scalper.

I don't have the ability to link a pic right now, but basically (in case the url link is dead) it's 14 n64 games including OoT, DK 64, Mario 64 and a nice mix of other $5-$10 games, all for $100. They look a bit worn, but this is still the cheapest I have seen a lot of N64 games go for in a few months.

I know a friend who has also had success doing this. I tend to say "why bother?" because there are so many ads for people who want to buy stuff, but maybe it's worth a shot. Like you said, the ad is free and the worst thing that could happen is no one offers you anything......... well the worth thing that could happen, is that someone murders you when you go to meet them. But other than that, the worst thing that could happen is no one offers you anything.
