Title: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: blcklblskt on August 13, 2008, 01:06:35 PM I am currently in "negotiations" with the lister of this Craigslist post: http://cnj.craigslist.org/tag/792739029.html
I can't make out too many details, but from what I see, it looks like: NES NES Advantage Zapper 2 controllers Atari 2600 4-switch 1 controller Genesis 1 with Sega CD, and base extender 3 Genesis Controllers Super Smash Bros Melee and numerous other games and manuals. However, the seller does not know if these systems work :'(. That is what is making me think twice about buying this lot. Although it would give my a collection a little boost for things I want, I'm tired of buying systems that don't work or require hours of troubleshooting and fixing. So the question is: Do I buy it and hope they work, or just ditch it? Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: Tan on August 13, 2008, 01:11:58 PM I'd skip it. $20 it might be a good deal, but with the Nes missing it's cartridge door and that Atari looking like it hasn't be used since the 70's, $20 wouldn't be so bad for the rest of it but definitely not $40.
Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: Ghost Soldier on August 13, 2008, 02:13:15 PM I'd go for it for 30-35 because there might be hidden goods. There is a Sega Cd Model 2 in there some genesis games and a few others. I'm interested if the big case the genny is sitting on has anything in it. Might be full of games or something of interest/ Make a 30-35 offer and see if he bites.
Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: modest9797 on August 13, 2008, 04:33:39 PM I say no. I have been burned man times on "I am not sure if it works."
I don't press my luck anymore. (No whammy, no whammy, no whammy, STOP!) Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: Sirgin on August 13, 2008, 06:19:54 PM I agree with modest9797 on this one. People sometimes abuse the "I don't know anything of videogames and don't know if they work"-quote when they're trying to sell broken systems.
I might buy it if you'd know they work, there's quite a lot in there. Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: blcklblskt on August 15, 2008, 09:22:57 AM Someone bought it for $40 anyway :(.
Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: Sirgin on August 15, 2008, 10:23:03 AM Someone bought it for $40 anyway :(. Don't feel sorry about it. Other and better deals will come up ;)Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: BadEnoughDude on August 15, 2008, 10:45:10 AM Yep. That's the nice thing about CL - good deals ALWAYS pop up if you have patience and know how to look for them. Hang in there, pal :)
Title: Re: The Wonders of Craigs List Post by: blcklblskt on August 15, 2008, 11:01:35 AM Alright I'll wait :P
I'm still kicking myself for not getting 6 boxed Vectrex games for $30 though : ) I waited long enough and found this one ;D http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/ele/795687724.html 18 N64 games for $30. I could probably sell Mario Party 2 and 3 for $30 on ebay. This has some other great games that I was looking for also like Banjo Tooie, Paper Mario, Majoras Mask, and Pokemon Snap. |
