"Make Offer" is pretty commonly used and essentially the same thing, just different terminology.

Street Fighter Alpha... sighs fondly memories  8)
My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

The only thing worth my time (to me) are the long box games .....

eveythign else is pretty much just a sports game and the system itself is pretty cheap now a days....


as other said the "auction" thing seems weird.....how the heck woudl you know if you are "bidding" or if it is just the seller saying "Oh you wanted to put in for $120?  Sorry man I litterly just got another guy offer me $170..can you you do an even $200?  that would put you over the top" .....

lol....

I've got an IFTTT alert set up for craigslist around here looking for TG16 stuff. The hits I get are usually someone wanting to buy TG16 or selling massively overpriced stuff. Anyway, past two days I've been alerted for... well this ad:

I am not about to be trading Bonk for bud.  :x Maybe some Sega stuff though  :wink:

Basically people that will deliver weed to you and take games as payment. At least that's what I got out of it. Here's the ad:



EDIT: meh I don't need to hot link those guys.

Its a lie. You cant actually bid on items or hold a legit auction on craigs list without proof of other legit bids existing. Its just another method of trying to milk money from morons.

Damnit, I've been found out! 

Now how will I ever get my hands on a Dreamcast 64 without trading some "dank" bud for it.  Time to just go toke up and listen to some Bob Marley instead...

Tangentially related, I saw this tidbit posted on a Facebook group and I almost broke my computer:
