Old Craigslist Thread died, but opportunities to find deals/laugh at resellers never die.

As always: post deals, rages, and misc./unusual postings

Starting off with a rage-worthy post, these go for $20 at my flea market and even that seems a lot.

A guy three hours away from me is selling separate lots of NES and SNES games. I was impressed that despite him saying "I know what these are worth, don't low-ball me" he also said that he bases all prices off of only the Sold section of Ebay, so maybe he's not the typical idiot that thinks any old game is worth its weight in cocaine.

There was actually a local classic game shop that was selling psp's fpr 20 bucks. They appeared to be in good condition but I know for a fact they never test anything they purchase so I was leary to say the least. I wanted to purchase Inherent Evil for the PC and the fucker was so scratched up that there was no way to save this disc, resurfacing it might have wiped the data layer off because of how many deep scratches would have needed to be removed.

Yeah i can only imagine that this dude is bullshitting. Though a fellow anon posted a craigslist ad in a different thread that was selling a untested ROB for 450 bucks. I sent him a link with Amazon's prices and told him untested its worth about 40 bucks, used and tested about 75, hell it don't even sell for more than 350 new in the box (Assuming its current inflation). He thought I was jewing him so obviously he didn't click the link. I sent him pictures afterwards but he never replied.

I base my prices off of ebay.

It's a simple formula.
Find Sold Auctions for a cart near the condition mine is in
Look at highest selling price
Look at lowest selling price
Find a happy middle ground where you have wiggle room to let someone haggle you if they want.

It's not rocket science.

Perfectly understandable, the only problem IMO is that the eBay market is based off instant gratification and compulsion. People will, in times of stress/desire, pay much more than they would for an item that could be easily found, with patience, for less (especially when coupled with a time limit and bid wars.)

That's why most of /vr/ doesn't utilize eBay pricing when hunting or for things like BST threads.

The reason I won't buy a .22lr conversion kit for my CZ-75 is because I can't get any ammo to use with it. There are several guns I had my eye on, that I won't buy yet. Don't need any safe queens.

Not CL, but just came back from a garage sale where the guy was an OBVIOUS collector (Warhammer 40k stuff, Power Rangers, old vidya, etc.) And he wanted $30 for some old Bionicle set (one of the big ones) because "hurrdurr in the box."

I'm not gonna dispute it was in good condition, or it's collectibility, but I still fucking hate these people. No one is going to pay you 30 dollars for a toy at a FUCKING YARD SALE. If you want better prices, go sell it on ebay, because in a yard sale youre only gonna get guys who are gonna want it for less or old people buying it for their grand children because it looks like a fucking toy.

I usually don't try to argue with people like this, because they have their head so far up their own ass they would'nt be able to hear me anyway.

It's a shame too, because I would love to own some of those old sets (it was those big boxing bionicle guys) and approaching the sale, I thought it was maybe something that belonged to the family kid that moved out or something and the parents were clearing it out.

There was an ad in my city where a guy wanted $500 for an atari 2600, two controllers, and 20 games.

None of the games were rare, it didn't have any of the cables, and he even admitted it didn't work.

It was taken down, so I assume someone actually bought it.

I don't understand what the big deal is on reselling. I've gone to pawn shops and bought games for $5 that I've flipped within a month for $60+. I always play the games first, but after I have...knowing how much it's worth, I cannot in good conscience keep it when I could use the money.

/vr/'s beef with resellers primarily comes from a few factors: they're a big factor in the retro bubble/inflation, they take advantage of uninformed consumers, and often refuse to haggle prices (they don't care about customers or business and simply wait for a casual buyer to buy at their price.)

Not all resellers are scum and there's definitely nothing wrong with selling retro vidya; however when you buy games for the sole purpose of flipping (especially at an exorbitant price), it's seen as rather unethical conduct and frowned upon here.

I don't go for the overpricing though...I suppose that's the difference. I go searching for good deals, then sell for FMV after I've played the games. My best example of this was buying Intelligent Qube for $5 a few years back and selling it for $85 2 weeks later.

Sell them yourself there are lots of private sales sites you can use. I thought you were joking when you were talking to someone who's an obvious reseller

It's actually a pretty good price. The poster is pretty big at 3 by 2 feet. That would sell for $10 if in print and new at a wal mart. A cheap fake wood frame with a plastic cover sells for like $15-20. So a decent, large, out of print Zelda poster in glass frame could easily appeal for that price.

The video game section around here (Boston Craigslist), is full of "last gen" stuff -- PS3, 360, CoD everywhere, and small video game shops spamming their ads multiple times.

They work, though. I ended up going to two of the places. Both very good.

My guess is that he's actually got the sampler, which if I remember right (I lost it years and years ago) only has the first two levels of the game. He looks like he has the model 2 which came with the very games he's bundling it with (Daytona, Virtua Cop, and VF 2). Among those three, you also got the NiGHTS sampler and a Bootleg Sampler. I'd ask him about that, but if it's the full game, I'd go for it.

...honestly, that's not a terrible deal either way you look at it. NiGHTS would just sweeten the deal.

Also, people might be filtering searches to exclude listings under a certain CL price amount. People do that all the time to skip past the "$1" SEO guys. Sucks for people like you who really don't have a single price to list for any one thing. However, I do NOT recommend putting some random price on your ad. People will see the fake price, know it's a ruse to get bypass filters, then flag you. If you want, come up with a walk-away price for the whole thing and list that in the price field. At least it will be legit and nobody will flag you for it.

In my area, lots of people flag even minor rule violations like it's our job. I do too, and I take it responsibly (as in, NO spite-flagging). Sometimes people e-mail with a heads-up, but that's rare. It's up to the seller to figure out what he's doing wrong, leading him to the forums if necessary.

If it was still sealed, then it was worth what he was asking.

Discontinued sealed Lego sets are rare because, you know, people usually buy Lego to play and build with it.

If you're looking for Lego, sets or just pieces, hit up Bricklink. /toy/ here, btw.

Where do people get the idea that old vidya is worth so much?

Is it a show on TV or something that the masses watch? It seems to be etched in the collective consciousness that old games=solid fucking gold and I have no idea where this is coming from.

Is it from some reality show or Big Bang Theory or something? I don't really watch TV unless it's Breaking Bad or cartoons...

>>	Anonymous Tue Aug 27 15:12:25 2013 No.1026496 >>1026490 It's not just games though, it's a retro craze on the whole...primarily because there are no longer companies mass producing toys, games, records, etc, from previous decades.

The reason I'm curious is because there are instances where entire UPCs have been reused for different products. As I understand it, the manufacturer part has to be the same, but the item part can be whatever. So manufacturers have (knowingly or unknowingly) reissued the same item part of a UPC, effectively reusing the entire UPC. I saw it myself years and years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember the two games, and no, they were not bootlegs, and I was not comparing an EAN to a UPC or anything like that. (It's enough of a problem that I've actually seen legit retail stores print the old, wrong product name for new items on shelf price tags.)

If some individual seller is going just by UPC when listing games on a marketplace that goes by UPC, buyers have the potential to be screwed into buying the wrong item.

This is why image mixups on ebay, half, amazon, etc. can be cause for concern.

Typical online marketplace story. People can take orders and ship easily enough, but when there are issues, they might not be prepared to handle them.

From what I've seen, if you don't exclusively hoard your games or hand them out for free, you're labeled a reseller here.

Yes, it boots to GCN games faster and can take the GB Player (or Advance Game Port) plus a broadband adapter for LAN play on Mario Kart Double Dash (or modem for whatever).

It's also a good way to preserve your Wii's laser and drive (assuming it's even the model that can play GCN games in the first place, since you're asking).

I flip games, but I don't go out of my way posting ads like this. I just lurk and buy people dumb enough to post good stuff with low prices. If somebody is going to flip it, might as well be me. If a person is being insane like asking 10$ for a genesis with wireless controllers and 20 games (actually happened) I will not correct them. However when I make an offer I generally pay 45% of what I think the item is worth which is fair if I am buying the item to flip it. If there is something I really want I have no problem paying full price.

Fuck you. Flip games all you want, but you are just making yourself look like a predatory asshole when you can't even respect the people you are doing business with. Maybe they don't give a shit about the price, and here you are claiming some kind of bullshit victory over them.

I think most people don't have a problem with "resellers" unless they are like you. And some probably hate "resellers" because they think they are all like you. (Then again, I can't begin to understand all the entitlement some people have running through their heads when it comes to game sales.)

This seems like a great deal. It's a 3rd party pad, but it's still a metal pad, and I'm pretty sure those go for a lot more than 30 dollars. (Unless it's shitty since it's 3rd party)

Usually lurk /vr/, but I'll bite for this post.

Resellers, like any merchant-type, range a large swathe of types from "Selling my collection from when I was a kid. Letting someone else experience the magic" to the worst of the worst, what I call the "Happy Merchant Friends of the Vidya World". The former types are usually the types you meet at yard sales, flea market stalls (The rent-a-stalls rented on the fringes in a one-shot by families looking for higher return than a yard sale, not the inside ones. Inside Stalls have high rent costs and are likely to house the "Happy Merchant" variety.) and other informal markets. They range from legit retro gamers to grandparents who are getting rid of their grandkid's old systems to clear out space in the old shed. They are also the most likely to deal with you honestly.

The other half of the equation, is the "Happy Merchant" flavor of reseller. These are the ones you see trying to sell "1337 Supa Maweeo 3 RARE Mint Condition Retro Game Pack!!!!" for $200 on eBay and Craigslist. Both you and I know that there's no way that cart would cost that much legit, barring artificial inflation by the seller (Hell, even back in the day, Game Carts were $60-90, so even adjusting for inflation and condition, that better be one of the first ones off the factory line to justify) but because the seller knows there's some ignorant tool out there, with no idea what it's actually worth, that will pay the price for it, he marks it up. These are the unethical, greedy and utterly unbearable sellers of the retro vidya world.

Picture a cart that you've wanted for a long time, you finally find it, but it's marked up at 5X it's "Uninflated" market value. You know it's worth nowhere near that, so you try to haggle it down. He refuses. Then he strikes up conversation, and finds you've been looking for this cart for awhile. Now he's going to mark it up even further, because "Demand just went up," namely because (Continued)

Continued from ^
you expressed an interest in said cart. It's already marked up to kingdom come, and just because you wanted to buy it, he's going to try to jew even more money from you.

I can stand the resellers that fall into the former category. In fact, I get along with them quite well, and we share all sorts of nostalgia mid-transaction. The latter can just go step on a lego, then die in a fire.

What do they mean by "missing one button", the start/select or the diagonals?

And yes, go for it if the arrows are good. Metals are $100 upwards used, and there aren't any objectively terrible metals that I know of because there's no market for such a thing. (floppies sell better in that regard)

Only DDR Pad I've ever been able to find for XBOX has been cheap plastic. Tears easily, and slippery as fuck on carpet, even the Mad Catz types that were supposedly "God Tier" back in the day. The only metal pad I've seen was from a guy who /diy/'ed his own from a defunct DDR Arcade machine to use for Stepmania mounted in a homemade cabinet.

I would like to add a story I heard on here a while ago.

In a city near where I am there is a reseller who has made it his lifes mission to make a living soley off vidya. To that end he scours stores second hand places and garage sales all the time.

Not contnt with just turning up at garage sales, he door knocks are 6am and buys the games before they even hit the table.

What are you going to do about that kind stuff?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 29 19:24:44 2013 No.1032004 >>1031994 Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely get it if they normally go for that much. It's missing the select button, I can't remember if any of my PS1/PS2 DDR games use it though, so hopefully it won't be a problem.

Well, I run Garage Sales of my own from time to time. If I were to run into this douche, I'd either tell him to get lost, and not to show up at the yard sale for trying to be a general douche (Thus giving precedent for calling the police for a "Tresspasser", "Hello, 911? There's this really creepy guy that's been hanging around my property, and I've told him to leave, quite adamantly. He keeps coming onto my property. Could you send an officer to investigate what he's doing here? Thanks, my address is XXXXXX") or I'd just be a dick and start stocking some empty/fried carts to hand off to him. Or, barring that, burn some Justin Bieber Tracks to CD and stick Disc Cover Desing Label Stickers on top so when he pops it into his PS2/Xbox/PS1/DC he gets "Baybee, baybee, Baybee OHHHH!" playing through his speakers.

But seriously? I'd just search elsewhere. If he sticks to garage sales in your county, go two counties over for Garage Sales. Then again, I'm really patient when it comes to my retro vidya. Owing partly to my tendency for Emu's for abandonware. Barring that, there's not much else you can do, aside from reporting his possibly delinquent taxes to the IRS office. Douchebaggery is a bad social choice, but it isn't illegal, so there's not much you CAN do to shut it down but to discourage it, and even then it's his choice.

lol, entitled as fuck.

You make it sound like the second group all do what you're talking about with that markup story.

Here's the actual deal with "resellers": The market dictates price, not some cabal of hoarders. If people aren't buying at a certain price, they can't sell, and in the end they gain nothing. If somebody comes along and buys a SMB/DH for $20, well, sucks to be that buyer, but that is not the seller's fault.

>>1032024
Wonderful, you recognize that some asshole scouring public marketplaces for things to buy isn't illegal, but you ponder doing illegal things like selling him fakes in retaliation. I really have to question the childish entitlement of a lot of you people.

Mega man nes games aren't rare and games 1-6 certainly aren't worth almost $200.

The average i've seen is $20 per individual game, most sellers also take a certain amount off when selling in bundles.

If you do sell those games at a high price, at least open yourself up to haggling.

tl;dr it's rather unlikely gamers will be willing to fork out that much money for 6 nes games

I don't know why anyone would throw stuff like that out, but my Uncle one time did the exact same thing. He had an XBox Huge with two controllers, Max Payne, and a couple of racing games, that not even 1 year after it was released that he was literally throwing it away. I asked him why and he said that he just didn't play it, so he was getting rid of it. He was and still is a very wasteful guy.

Respect the process and respect the participants. If you act like an ass vulture, people will treat you like one. There are plenty of legit people in the collectibles market, and you don't sound like one of them.

I hope it's ok to ask this here. I don't want to make another thread and I'm not actually putting anything up for sale at this time.
Is Illusion of Gaia or Secret of Evermore worth selling or should I just hang onto them? Both have boxes and Illusion of Gaia has the manual and map. The Illusion of Gaia box and manual have slight water damage. The cart was not involved in said damage. It was safely inside the SNES. And I still have the cardboard insert and Nintendo Power order form. There's a Super Power Club Starfox poster too. It has ads on the back for various SNES games and accessories.

Secret of Evermore was bought used and has the cardboard insert, manual and map. But the map was always ripped between the folds. Manual's a little beat up too.

Both cartridges are very clean. I took care of my stuff. Sadly I moved around a lot and my sister's friends stole almost everything I had before my last move.

I've considered selling them since I no longer have an SNES and I just emulate now (space and money issues). I'm not a collector really. And I'd hate myself for price gouging anyone. But losing almost all my 8 and 16 bit stuff just made me feel so bad even looking at the remainder.

I don't know. I bought it used maybe in '97 for $6.99. I imagine it's worth a bit more now. Amazon says $20 for crappy yellowing loose carts with bad labels. That made me lol. I'd take less even though mine is complete but the packaging is a bit beat up. As I said, I'm not selling anything right now. I also can't test it at this time so the battery may no longer work. That's part of the problem too. If I can't test something I can't guarantee it. The cart should be fine. It's never had any issues.

I also found Skuljagger and Super Castlevania IV just now. I should have never let my sister's kids use them. Now I have to hunt down the boxes and manuals. I imagine Skuljagger is only worth $1 or so.

I don't want to take up people's time since I'm not looking to sell right now. I was just curious.

comics/wow/star wars/ star trek/retro and new vidya games/science experiments/D&D/Magic cards (warriors of k-ah or something like that)/toys/geek clothes.....

A few tips:
1. You could have looked up what the real thing looks like.
2. Even without doing that, you could have zoomed in and seen that the same badge is on every other game as well.
3. I don't think it ever came in a jewel case version like the one in the pic, which is the 3-in-1 version.
4. You can't tell by the outside (manual or back insert) on the long case version either.
5. You have to look at the disc and also look for the extra manual (which like anything can be missing if the set is incomplete).

I never said I'd tell the guy they were vidya, nor did I tell him they worked. Illegal? Hardly. The rule at Garage/Yard Sales is "Buyer Beware, all sales are final". If he's going to be a douche, I'm justified in being a douche back to him.

If you're going to try pulling the "Illegal" card, I'm afraid you're going to have to cite verse and statute. Otherwise your accusation falls flat.

This secret organized hoarder society that is hiding tens of thousands of copies of individual games and releasing them slowly to the market in a coordinated effort to limit supply sounds really rich and powerful, just like Goldman Sachs. So of course like you I believe that there is a huge problem!

Not the guy you're quoting on Goldman Sachs, but he does raise a valid point, if satirically so.

To use the SMB/DH analogy, saying "It's the fault of the market" that one guy bought a cart for $20 is bullshit. For all we know, it could have been a 9-yr-old babby with a fuckton of money from grandma spending at the flea market. There's plenty of unscrupulous/ignorant dealers that mark up their merchandise far beyond what it's worth. Browsing through the thread, I see a couple of posts that mention shit that has been reposted over several months to CL, even though they had no takers.

Point being, this "Invisible Hand of the Market" bullshit is used to excuse fuckery all too often. If I were selling a Ford Pinto for $80,000, that doesn't mean it's a bad market, it means I'm either a bad salesman (If it doesn't sell), or an unscrupulous one (Also excusable, but much more excusable to frown upon, even if it's a legit transaction).

Part of this, I blame on the Internet being used as a marketplace for physical products. Previously, with B&M Stores, you had to use physical shelf-space to hold stock. Space that meant money invested as long as it sat there unsold, because that meant less space going to products that moved quickly. Now people can reupload the same ad to CL or eBay, asking whatever price they want, until some tool decides to buy.

In short, limitations of shelf space ensured prices remained somewhat controlled, because things were priced to move. In today's net commerce economy, that limitation is removed, so not only do you have that, you have every unscrupulous dealer moving in without those built-in price controls. Of course prices are going to go bonkers and form constant bubbles/deflation.

Also, in all fairness, we're working with economic theories that are over a century old, in some cases. And these theories were developed before their founders had any idea of the speed with which money and commodities could be moved today.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 2 20:41:24 2013 No.1043361 >>1043313 I agree. I've seen people repost the same shit on Craigslist every week for 6+ months. I'm not sure how they don't get discouraged after a couple months. Obviously their console-only PS1 isn't worth the $80 asking price and never will.

Let's look at your $80K Pinto example. Will it ever sell for that much, or will you have to adapt to the reality of the market if you ever want to sell it? Is the demand for Pintos high enough that you can squeeze anything close to $80K out of anyone? Will you be called a Pinto hoarder by anyone not willing to pay it? Are you in cahoots with CarStop? How mad should I be at you?

If a game or system goes unsold, that's no reason to get angry.

>>1043361
This is an excellent example of the market working as it should. Something common and overpriced is not selling. Time to get angry...?

>>1043389
GameStop is indeed a huge problem, and it is very wise and polite of you to realize that they are a separate entity from individual game resellers.

Pinto Example anon here. The guy selling the Pinto in my example is generally not going around and buying every POS Pinto from anyone who is selling one to markup at $80K, but if anything, when a person points out that it's too high a price and you get treated like you're trying to Jew them out of a good deal, you should be mad at the attitude you got, rather than the high price. That's what I'm seeing in this thread, mostly, is butthurt at the way they're treated as customers. I'd feel the same way if I were treated like that by a seller. However, I'm a bit more subtle when it comes to the haggling game. I wouldn't even point out the outrageous price. If I think it's slightly overpriced, I'll try to talk the guy down by about $5-10. However, even then, I'd still be offended if I was treated the way some Anons have mentioned in this thread simply for the "Offense" of trying to haggle.

It's a business transaction between two equal entities, as far as I'm concerned. Just as the Seller is, and should be, free to alter the terms of the deal before closing it, so should the Buyer. You wouldn't just accept the sticker price on a new car, or the first quote the Mortgage Broker gave you, so why should it be the same with any other transaction between two business agents? (Giant retail stores are another thing, since their prices are set by Corporate.) Getting butthurt about a customer trying to haggle shows your insecurity and unscrupulousness as a businessman. Even if your price is firm, there are ways of letting them know without being a dick about it. That seems to be the big gripe, from what I've seen ITT. People laugh at the fuckall prices, but when they try to talk the guy down and get told 'Don't waste my goddamned time, faggot', I can sympathize with the aggravation.

Pinto Anon again. As I've mentioned several times in this thread previously, I don't have a problem with resellers, as a group. Despite having started my gaming years on retro machines (For context, my first machine used to play any type of game outside of monopoly or battleship was a TI-99. Hunt the Wumpus, ahh, nostalgia...), I see resellers as a way to keep the old game scene alive, and to "Keep the magic flowing", if you will.

My personal complaint boils down to disliking unscrupulous sellers, and the general rude/hostile attitude that tends to come with them. Maybe it's just because I spend so much time on other boards, but the only time I've seen "Reseller" used with such a loathsome context here, is when it's used in these "CL/Reseller Rage" threads. If it weren't for resellers, we'd be stuck with Nintendo's (Or [Insert Vidya Corporation Name of your choice here]'s) Virtual Console option to play /vr/ material on controllers that were never designed to play them. A shitty lone option, if you ask me. Everyone has their own opinion, of course, but for me, what is anathema is treating potential customers that are sticking within the rules of acceptable business behavior (Namely, haggling) like they're trying to cheat you out of a good deal. Both parties should be free to alter the deal until they come to a conclusion both feel comfortable with. In the age of Corporate Commerce, people have forgotten the fine art of civil business affairs. And the sad part is, more often than not, it seems the Proprietor that forgets his ethics and business courtesy, rather than the customer. Just my $0.02.

That's fine.

Where we differ the most is probably in expectations of other people. I feel strongly that either party should feel comfortable enough to propose reasonable modification of the terms of the final deal, such as requesting that the price be lowered or requesting a specific form of payment. I also feel strongly that it is within the rights of the other party not to yield to those requests. Nobody has to like it, but a grown adult will respect it.

The proper outcome of such a standstill isn't that bad or serious: The seller doesn't sell the item and the buyer doesn't buy it. The deal doesn't close. That's the absolute bottom line. We're not talking about some essential commodity like aluminum or some overpriced old clunker like Pintos, we're talking about games. Toys. That bottom line isn't so bad when it comes to deals over toys.

Speaking of which, FAO Schwarz, that overpriced toy store, now only operates 1 store, down from at least 40, and is now owned by Toys`R'Us. And Wal-Mart, a company known for being extremely shrewd with supplier pricing, is America's top toy retailer. The market dictated who would succeed.

When it hit the market, the system was $600+ and not that many are out there (compared to say the Genesis or SNES).

If you're puzzling over why you can't buy one now for under $100, consider that the SNES can easily sell for $50, a quarter of what it originally retailed for. Or think of the retail and current prices for the TG16.
