I just got a RGHable(lol) slim xbox 360 with 4 controllers, 250gb hd, powerbrick for...$100. DELIVERED :burgerking:

that's pretty good, i thought i was doing good with my fat xbox ultimate with the 120gb drive for $115.

it had a dozen or so xbox arcade games installed on it, so I ain't even mad.

SNAAKE:
^ Id jump on those

but thats because I have a customer base. I always have people looking for these. few months ago(when rgh was released) I found 2 falcon jtags(no chip inside) for 90 each. hustled it down to 160 delivered. some of you here own those consoles lol.. :burgerking:

Everything related to consoles on craigslist seems to be dominated by children, idiots and idiot children. 98 percent of the game titles I see listed on there are listed at prices higher than the shipped price on amazon for a new in box copy. People want to meet at a restaurant parking lot to sell some idiot obsolete children's title for $5 (same title new in box 1 cent on amazon).

Most annoying is the things with the word arcade somewhere in the title or description, I have no choice but to see all of that stuff if I want to have any chance at the game deals. Boy is there some stupid stuff out there with arcade in the name.

People relist the same piece of junk $20 thing every SINGLE day for six months. These two turds below have been relisted every couple days all year. Both have arcade in the title so I get notices on them over and over again.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/for/3087592486.html (listed $20 used, $19.95 new on Amazon).

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/tag/3096402072.html (listed $45, $32 on Amazon)

For the sake of continuity, it might be prudent to quote the actual ads rather than (or along with) a direct link since these ads do expire after a fashion and it would be a pain to figure out what the ---fudgesicle--- you guys were talking about three months down the road.

This, more than everything else combined, has often come close to convincing me to drop this hobby.  Fellow Collector Butthurt should be a formalized term.  I have had deals where I have bought trashed old games that had been in a forgotten warehouse so long that there was a cab shaped dust crater on the floor.  Straight up, full disclosure, I have cash in hand and a truck let's do this tomorrow.  Post pics on a regional site and there is always a Fellow Butthurt Collector who flames me and posts that he had tried to buy those that same set of games, disregarding that they were among 75 in the warehouse, 5 years ago.  They accuse me of backdooring their deal.  It never matters whether or not I have ever heard of this Fellow Butthurt Collector, or that years had passed, or that they never actually exchanged money.

And oh... my... god... if a good game pops up on CL for a low price?  The FCB starts within 5 minutes and can last a full freakin year.  I hate it.  Drives me absolutely batshit and ruins the hobby for me.  We can't even post on CL in our area because there are FBCs out there who flag every single pinball post within minutes.
