Hello guys. I am totally high on hopes right now. I just came across a Craigslist listing for an NES console and "some" games. The listing is titled "Old nentendo w games". I believe it was posted yesterday, so I may be screwed, but I have high hopes. I've sent them an email and told them I can be there any time to pick them up.

They are asking $25 for everything, but I offered them $40 if they can save it for me. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The pictures are mediocre quality, but some titles include Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, Megaman 2/3/4, TMNT, Super Mario 1/2/3, and many others (possibly even some gems I didn't spot).



It has been 24 hours, so sadly, they are probably not available, but knowing my area, it is possible.

Wish me luck!

99% chance of a troll ad. 

Sorry.  :-[
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

In the region I live, it isn't totally uncommon to find lots of $200~ value for about $20. The problem is that there are a couple of retro game stores in the bigger city about 40 minutes from me, and they usually buy up every good deal. I would be shocked if this wasn't legitimate. But we'll see.

You never know, it could be real.  I don't think anyone is trying to negative or anything.  It's just that most of us have seen it enough times to assume the worst.  Just remember to always be careful when dealing with Craigslist ads.

Sounds like they're just trying to lure you in to rape you.  Make sure you squeal like a pig!

I'd recommend taking a friend or two for the pick up!

The lot already had sold. Craigslist scores aren't too rare where I live. Almost everyone is an idiot here. I have scored before, but that was by far the best lot I've seen. Perhaps it was just a troll. Either way, I gained nothing, but more importantly I lost nothing  ;).
