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.

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

I guess it could be worse...

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

Holy shit people are creepy.

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.
All is well. :)

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.

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.
