Sounds like a Mexican, but most of the resellers I know are Mexican and actually have some idea of what they're selling. Either way, I certainly hope English isn't this person's first language.

On a related note, was randomly refreshing my local Craigslist ads the other day and a Mario rpg for snes pops up. Asking price $15. Txt'd and emailed immediately. Seller hit me up 5 min later.

I did something like that once with all my SNES stuff. I have probably around 50 games, with stuff like Chrono Trigger, Super Metriod, Final Fantasy II & III, Lufia II, Secret of Evermore, among others (these are all boxed, with maps manuals etc, among others i cant remember atm) and cart only Secret of Mana, DKC1-3, all the Mario games, among other sweet stuff.
Lowest offer was 50 bucks (I actually flamed the shit out of this faggot)
Got lots of offers in the 100-200 range
and someone offered me 500 bucks for it all.

It was pretty funny to see how excited some people were, at the least.

This is why I don't even bother browsing Craigslist anymore, really. I saw this posted at something like 11pm the other day:

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/vgm/4392335641.html
Original asking price was $150 bucks. I e-mailed the guy pretty soon after it popped up (something like 30 minutes)
Got an e-mail back at 1am saying "I raised the price due to how many people were interested"
I was rather pissed solely due to the fact that you never find any reasonable deals anymore.

I hate that shit. happens all the time. The time that really pissed me off was for a Gameboy with like 15 games and other shit with it for $20. I just happened to check as soon as it went up. sent an email he agrees to sell it to me, set a meetup location. he gives me his phone# missing a digit. I email him again trying get a working # to finalize the deal. no response...email again a few hours later. "sorry man already sold" I was pretty pissed.

Sometimes I don't mind paying a bit more for games I love. And I never complain "Oh man why isn't this game like a dollar like back in the old day."

But I really don't like it when posters on craigslist sound like dick wads (in general, not just for vidya.)

>293$ FIRM, PICK UP, NO DELIVERIES, IF YOU WANT THIS YOU MUST JUMP THROUGH EVER RING I GIVE YOU

Like fuck, they're the one that wants to get rid of their shit. Just act like a normal considerate human being.

Craigslist is retard and jackass city. To be fair, I think SOME people might be demanding in their listings not because of just being an asshole, but perhaps in an effort to scare off flakes or time wasters who set everything up, make the seller go out of his way to meet, then not show up or show up late or show up and try to haggle. An unfortunate fact of life is the nicer you act, the more people will think they can take advantage of you.

Bradenton here. any ideas on where to look for actually decent deals in bton/srq area?

Yeah. I had some guy mail me "I want those games, but I'm very picky about the copies I buy. So I want you to send them to me so I can verify their condition and I'll pay you if I like them."

These are the kind of people you're dealing with.

Hahaha holy shit. I think craigslist is where the eternal elementary school bullies go to do business.

Ebay is only useful to price my item when I want to reference that one time when a shit-bidder "won" the auction for several hundred dollars more than what it is worth.

Check out this piece of shit. I'm genuinely looking for a PAL SNES controller because I already have one for my NTSC version. I like the PAL colors better and thought it would be cool to have one as a secondary controller. Stumbled on this scum.

I also wish history had been different and Nintendo of America hadn't despised any console design that looked cool or interesting, but that's a different discussion.

In my experience, people who sell their CRTs REALLY want to get rid of them so they end up giving them away once you arrive. Me and a friend went to pick his up and they ended up giving it to him because we kept getting lost in their small mountain town. When I went for mine in the city, the guy felt bad for us because he wasn't expecting the elevator to be going under maintenance that day so I got mine for free.

Hasn't happened to me for vidya, but the people selling furniture usually end up giving it to me for free.

WAIT, not true.

A CL seller gave me Battlezone: Gold Pack, Time Commando and Novastorm after I bought Space Hulk off of him.
