Wester Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) I recently posted in the items wanted section just because it was free and what could it hurt. I've had a few replies but it seems like everyone wants a little more than I'm willing to pay. Anyway I just thought it might be interesting/amusing to keep a record of offers I get here on the forum, if nobody else things it is then let me know and I'll stop posting the offers. These are the items I've been offered so far: Offer 1 (these were out of my area by the way so I'd have to drive about 3hr's one way to get them) PS2 w/ 2 controllers and 2 mem cards $100 (which really isn't too bad) A list of common PS2 games for $10 each A GBC w/Hot Wheels game $20 (kind of wanted this but still pricey in my book) Offer 2: PS1 w/ 2 memcards and 14 games (mostly sports including, NASCAR, MADDEN, Cool Boarders, Tony Hawk) $65 Offer 3: Apple IILE w/disk drives, didn't give me a price but I wasn't interested in computer systems anyway. Offer 4 (the only one I'm really trying to work): SNES and Genesis systems with the following games for $100 Super Nintedo: The legend of Zelda: A link from the past Drakkhen Daffy Duck: The Marvin Mission F-ZERO WWF RAW Killer Instinct Sega Genesis: Kid Chameleon Tengen Hard Drivin' Mortal Kombat II Caesars Palace Urban Strike: The sequel to Jungle Strike Street of Rage II MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head Sub Terrania Bulls Versus Blazers and the NBA Playoffs Zoop Taz Mania Golden Axe F22 Interceptor Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 (multiple copies) Ranger X Warpspeed Edited March 16, 2008 by Wester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight8 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have posted want ads several times and mostly what I get back is "I have an atari and a bunch of games what will you pay?" I usually ask them for a game list and never hear back from them. So far has not really been worth the trouble for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well looks like I'm going to be picking up Offer #4 tomorrow morning, got them down to $50, not a smoking deal but not too bad if everything looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinChargers Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well looks like I'm going to be picking up Offer #4 tomorrow morning, got them down to $50, not a smoking deal but not too bad if everything looks good. I'd say thats a smoking deal. You cut there asking price in half! Hope all works well for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Picked it up this morning, the consoles were clean and had everything needed. There was no F-Zero, but instead X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, plus there were multiple copies of Sonic 1&2. Not a bad setup, I needed most of the games I got, but it did cost me about $15-$20 in gas to get them so I still have mixed feelings about it.

Roloking Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I posted a wanted ad for boxed snes/nes games and the only person who offered me anything was some dealer who had no clue what she was doing. She told me she had alot of boxed games so i asked for a list and some pictures. She sent me some pictures of some beat up boxed sports and meh commons and wanted $50 each or something insanely unreasonable. 5 minutes after she sent me that she sent me an email (before I even got to look at the first one) about how I was wasting her time and how she has 100 other people interested. I sent her a picture of Goatse and never heard from her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight8 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 with some people on craigslist there must be something in the way of scams going on with games. I will from time to time people will send me a list of games and systems and ask me how much I will pay for them to ship it to me. Sometimes I can get on ebay and find an auction identical like it was cut and pasted. They are always from out of town and want to ship. seems fishy.

Wester Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 The first offer that I listed, the guy offered to ship it to me since I was so far away. I, of course declined, that's pretty much a no-no on craigslist stuff. I've been pretty lucky to find anything within about a hour of me, I didn't figure I'd get anything out of the ad.

the.golden.ax Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 EVERY time I post on Craigslist it gets removed in a day or less. My last post was short and sweet. ----- Wanted: anything Atari. If you have anything Atari related for sale let me know. Games, systems, etc. Email. ---- It was removed for the following: Not specific titles or items = hobby = collector = business = ongoing need. Post in "business" section. THATS JUST GOOFY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
