Craigslist Fails (Hometown Gougers Thread)

Yeah but normally when you buy in a lot, especially if you're getting duplicates you need to get rid of eventually, you need to factor in some sort of bundle discount as well.  No way am I going to buy a bundle of stuff if the total value is equal to what it would cost separate if I only need like half of it.

Usually, when I list a bunch if games on craigslist, I have reasonable individual prices and then a price for the lot, which is around 50 - 65% of the total of the individual prices.

Doesn't someone here live near Winston-Salem?  Maybe he could check this stuff out.

I live about an hour away from Winston Salem. :/  Funny, I was just there a couple days ago. 

Anyway, this.

 By the systems there it looks like he stockpiled stuff he found on his normal thrifting runs. That would be my assumption.

I hope that's a joke.  It has to be. Is it?

Holy shit people are creepy.

Well, it's a real CL ad, link above.

[RoyVegas]

I have no doubt the ad itself is real.  What I was wondering is if someone is actually demented enough to actually be serious about an ad like that.

Well $4k dude split up his bundle on CL. He now is asking $700 for the Duo w/ pack-ins (mostly). most of the games he list individually and "make me an offer, no low balls". He has a Cadash I want...I know what I'll pay, but I know he will see it as a low ball since he is asking so much for the rest of the lot plus he writes: "The value of this game is climbing rapidly"

The only thing "climbing rapidly" is all this nonsense.

Hey, I have a plastic container full of Playstation 1's! I think one of them even works!

I've seen that lot for a while now on CL. Seller keeps relisting it...hope springs eternal I guess. All that gear just takes up space, I figure they do not have WAF to contended with.
