[Anonymous No.1056545]

Wait, is he selling a Genesis, a PS3, an Atari, controllers for all three, and like 30 games?

Might be worth $100, though the stupid-ass "The price goes up for $25 for each game we test" thing is fucking bonkers.

Seriously though, I'm sure at least a couple of them don't work and he's just banking on people taking the risk to save the $25.

[Anonymous No.1056645]

What if you test one and it doesn't work? Do you still have to pay the $25? Call him and ask.

I think that's NC, judging from the area code.

But yes, Georgia is full retard when it comes to /vr/ stuff.

[Anonymous No.1056650]

I just messaged a guy cause he had a copy of Sonic 1 for sale. I wanted a complete copy so I asked him if his $5 copy was complete. He said it was just the cart and that a complete copy is worth $20. He wanted $5 for his cart of SONIC 1.

I have bought 4 copies of Sonic 1 for a dollar or less each this summer alone. I don't know where people are pulling this retarded figures from

[Anonymous No.1056659]

>>1056650

because just like when you want to save money when buying something some people want to make some money when selling something.

would YOU sell me one of your $1 sonics for .50 cents?

If it was the regular version and not the "NOT FOR RESALE" cart, then $5 is perfectly reasonable.

[Anonymous No.1056703]

A regular version is worth about a dollar more. They're only slightly, and I do mean slightly, less common than NFRs.

[Anonymous No.1056706]

>>1056650

$5 seems pretty reasonable compared to the "RARE!!! SONIC TEH HEDGEHOG ORIGINAL FOR GENESIS $50" shit that you see on craigslist

Teach this asshole a lesson. Email him from a different number or text him using a Google number.

Go to his house and test each console and takes tons of time to do it then leave without paying a dime. What is he going to do? Call the police on you?

[Anonymous No.1056753]

people on craigslist can be insufferable assholes

i saw a guy post a pinball machine from the late 40s that was in pretty decent condition and said "make me an offer"

i consulted several sources which told me that particular machine goes for $150 almost every time it pops up on ebay or on pin trader websites. Older pins go for poor money, they dont age like antiques

So I offered $150. I got a very lengthy email back about how they were offended I would lowball them that much on their precious antique

A few weeks later the same ad was still on craigslist, but with the price changed to $2000

They thought somebody was going to pay them the same as an 80s or 90s machine. You could get a beat up Medieval Madness for $2000

People are stupid and assume that older = more valuable.

[Anonymous No.1057150]

I hate when I look at craigslist in my area for garage sales, and they never really give me enough info.
Sometimes they won't say what day the sale is on (that's a big one). Sometimes they won't say what times they're open. Sometimes they don't even give an address. Sometimes a combination of these.

I also hate when they post about the sale on the day of the damn thing. Put it a day in advance or something, it's not that hard.

This thread reminds me of a CL listing in my area.
I swear it was previously listed with it stating "I do not want to separate this, so buy all or nothing!" though it may have been a different one. Now it sounds kinda tempting.

>Friday & Saturday, fishing poles, Longaberger baskets, gas stove, screen door, outdoor chairs, kitchen table, movies, dvds, Blu-ray, box sets, adult. Video games for most systems, beer signs, neon signs, metal and mirrored beer signs. Pictures, lots of nice stuff. Saturday we will also have a Pepsi wall mount pop machine, couch and love seat plus lots of stuff added hourly. Multiple family sale. Also we have a few fresh brown eggs for sale.

Like many of you would have been, I was skeptical. Also, the ad was posted at like 9pm Friday night but I still hauled my ass out there at 8am. Turns out the guy had a video game store that went out of business. I bought over 50 PS1/2 & Xbox games for less than $1 each. My only regret is not being diligent enough to have seen the first time it was posted, the local reseller got all his cartridge based stuff for $600 total. I guess it was a whole truck load. I would have loved to cherry pick that, too.

Guys, /v/ is leaking again.

[Anonymous No.1059826]

Last week I tried...tried to sell a Genesis and some games on CL. $50 for the original wide console, Sonic 1,2,3 and Knuckles, Streets Of Rage 1 and 2, Beyond Oasis and a couple of sports games. I would say that's an ok price, right? Fart. I got about 20 replies in a day. After filtering through the 5 that wanted me to ship it or meet them 30 miles away, I replied to the others. First guy showed up and tried to talk me down to $20 because of some scratches on the games. NOPE. Next guy doesn't show up. Next guy decides he just wants the sonic games. NOPE. Next guy shows up, takes a look and says he will be back. Didn't happen. Thank goodness someone finally bought it...three days later. It's my own damn fault for thinking I could make an easy 50 bucks.

[Anonymous No.1059858]

>>1056753
this is true. today i met with a guy who said he was selling his lot of genesis stuff and in the picture he had a boxed sega cd with the rest of it so i thought it was included. I show up and no fuckin' CD for me. Just a genesis with no controllers and some all right CIB games. I feel violated...
