Craigslist Fails (Hometown Gougers Thread)

Gouging invades Craigslist (it probably did a long time ago but I probably didn't notice).

I think that's a somewhat normal price now, sad to say.

You can get it for half that (give or take) even on Ebay....

well, it says it has the box and booklet, but still, i'd say $100 is too much.
MAYBE $75 for me, but then again, i got my copy for $10, so eh.

I can't really say that I am going to miss the RockBand/GH phase. These dumb fake instruments stuff so many used game shops that they literally tumble out onto the sidewalk when you attempt to enter one.

Good thread, the only problem is these links disappear a lot faster than eBay links because of the way CL works.

Perhaps cut and paste to make them more permanent?

Deff would have lost more, Good to hear he lost weight but atleast with a real set he could create his own beats and who know what he could become.

In a few weeks these links will all be dead.  Take a screenshot of the pages and host them on imgur.com for archival purposed and future LOLs.

Rise from your grave...


Craigslist Add, $4k Duo by majorsfool, on Flickr

saved images: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21776514@N03/sets/72157633831567789/

$4000 for this lot...:/...I see at most $1000. Duo ($200) w/ 77 games ($10 ea = $770, and that is being generous). Guess he thinks that would be a lowball. Being in Winston, I prolly know this cat.

4K is stoooopid, but there are certainly some games worth more than $10

While $4000 is definately reaching for the stars, $1000 is definately lowball.
All is well. :)
