I found a pretty good one on Reddit and took a screenshot.

anybody seen one of those before?  A disc bssed NES that seems to be sponsored by sony.  Thats GOTTA be rare

[Slowman]

I respect the fact that a given item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it but.... really?  $25 each?  I was under the impression that used game stores would love for you to just shovel these out their front door but... ok, I guess.

If you buy 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?' for $25, you just proved that you're probably not.

It's easier if I just paste the text from this post I just read because it would be too hard to see in an image.

Text from local CL post
Okay so I'm looking to either get rid of or consolidate my video game collection, hopefully by the first of the year. I've been collection for several years now and have toted my games along with me through a number of different living situations and before I move on from my current abode I'd like to lighten my load. [b[This list was compiled by me a few years back so by no means is it complete, but this should give you a rough idea of what I'm working with[/b]. As i said I'm open to consolidation or sale. If you've got some really outrageous "grails" i.e; Little Sampson (NES,) Panzer Dragoon saga (Sega Saturn) Earthbound (SNES) e.t.c I'm not really particular to what system their for just so long as their rare. Keep in mind though that if I'm trading I'll be looking to make out on the deal a little... As for my merch I can make no definitive guaranties. none of the items have been tested in several years though everything worked fine two or three years ago... Everything had been kept in plastic totes with news paper (to help absorb moisture,) for years, about two years back I replaced the news paper with silica bead bags and that's the way they've been kept since... Being that I am one of those people who likes to keep his collections on hand they've never been in storage! They've always been either in the closet or under the bed. Of course now it's a little bit of both hence this posting. I'd like to get rid of everything in one fell swoop so I give you forewarning any e-mails asking for specific items will be ignored. If your really that interested in something get a few buddies together and make me an offer! Again Trades are welcome but it'd better be some pretty amazing stuff, dollar Amt absolutely negotiable. Again this list is about 1-2 years old. I'm been to a few flea markets thrift shoppes and tag sales since then. Cheers!

Great idea, buddy.  Tell the people you want to trade with that you are TRYING TO GET A DEAL THAT IS UNFAIR AND IN YOUR ADVANTAGE!

wow, also that things were stored under his bed (not my idea of a quality storage space) and that he'll ignore emails asking about specific games. what if someone wants to buy the whole set but wants to know first if some specific titles are in it? some people just don't understand how to sell.

The Best Buy mentality.  You're going to buy what I have, and I'll tell you what you'll spend.

[SirPsycho]

The only thing I have to complain about my CL right now (other than the usual) is this new business that focuses on video game console repair.

Their prices are horrendous, when I'm freelancing I charge half what they do. I could probably switch over to freelancing full time and steal all their business.

Don't worry about it being taken down, they post like every 2 days.

[techwizard]

wii drive repair up to $80? you can buy the whole system for not a huge amount more than that

[SirPsycho]

I know exactly why they charge those prices too. Their real estate is highly coveted and expensive, Aggieville is our bar district, right across the street from the University. They need to markup just to pay rent.

That's such a terrible decision. I could throw a sign up on my shed and pay no rent, offer the same services, and many they probably don't even know about.

The local game store here charges $80 for used Wiis, so might as well just buy a new one and sell me the one with the broken drive for like $10 so I can have spare parts, then its only $70 out of pocket.

[SirPsycho]

Another big winner.

At first I thought it was just the misspelling of Nintendo, but wow...some people are strangely forthcoming.
