Craigslist is easily my favorite way to get games, aside from my LGS.

>Be on Craigslist at 3am
>See an Intellivision lot for sale
>I've been wanting an Intellivision so I look at the ad closer
>About 40 boxed/complete Intellivision games and a model one Intellivision
>100 Bucks
>Immediately contact the poster
>He gets back to me within minutes
>Told him I could get it around noon
>okay.jpeg

And this is where it gets good.

>arrive at his house at noon
>middle of the boonies, about an hour away from my place
>walk up to the door and knock
>he opens the door. His name is Ron. Dude is in his 40's and is wearing a D&D shirt.
>He invites me in
>I see a gigantic box that's easily more than half my height
>He says "So yeah, is one-hundred still alright? It may be a little much"
>I tell him that 100 is fine and hand him the money
>We shoot the shit about collecting and gaming
>Talk about D&D for a good hour
>He smiles and says "I'm happy this is all going to a good home where it'll be respected"
>shake his hand and load the box in my car
>stop at a gas station to grab some iced tea on my way back home
>decide to look in the box for shiggles

>Boxed Intellivision 1
>Boxed Intellivision 2
>Some of the game boxes are SEALED
>Boxes are mostly immaculate
>Boxed Intellivoice Voice Module

All of this for 100 bucks. When I made the deal the Intellivision model 1 was going for 90 bucks, used. I still keep in e-mail contact with Ron and I'm the first to know when he friends are selling their stuff.
