Why can't people spell? Is it that hard to write up a draft, spell check it and make sure that you don't sound like a baboon with a serious head injury? I see so many spelling mistakes in these CL postings. I don't know how you can be this stupid and make this many mistakes. The illiteracy level here is horrifying. But they sure do know how to count money.

This listing is hilarious too. $200 for this? Not only is it hilariously overpriced. But without any pics for all we know it's a bunch of loose, dirty carts with bad labels.

I still have a Game Boy Color. Maybe I should list it as SUPER RARE OLD RETRO NINTENDO GAME BOY WITH COLOR! And just for fun I'll keep the battery cover... If only I were more evil.

Well, even though it's a ridiculous deal, with many being sealed and boxed, 1250 for it seems about right, although I'd ask for something around 800, if I wanted that, and even that is pushing it.

I think Skies Sealed goes for like 100 anyhow.

So there's this guy in the Atlanta area that always posts stuff on CL. He's an obvious resller, but he wasn't a bad one. Right before the Racketboy Saturn mod chip price hike I bought a Saturn off him for $40. Not bad, but I had to drive to the middle fucking nowhere to get it. Seemed like a nice guy.

Now, I was checking CL and I see that he's opened a flea market stall on practically the other side of the damned state and just fucking look at this shit:

This isn't a bad deal. It's certainly not a bargain, but it's not a bad deal.

It makes sense if you count each of those games at $5 a pop (yes, even Link's Awakening and Mario Land 2), then you're looking at $30 bucks for each Game Boy (that hopefully have the battery covers) and a free magnifier.
