I saw this Craigslist ad a few days ago for $220 for a nes console and 45 games. Some good games in there too (Contra, Zeldas, etc.) I messaged the guy within 3 minutes and said I could pick them up that day. I've been messaging him everyday since and he never seems to be able to meet. I'm convinced that he's trolling now. Bummer too, cause if he was actually selling them that cheap cause he'd needed cash, they'd be sold by now. I'm just gonna troll him back everyday saying I can meet until he takes it down or admits it. Someday I'll find a good deal on there that's legit.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone offered more than you and he reneged without telling you.

I just received this message back... Frack!!!!!!

Sorry, I do have work today. And I may however just pull the plug to the NES as I have gotten many emails stating its worth more than what I'm asking so it has to be damaged or non working. However working I need to do more research and see what a fair price is for the system and games. I do have your email, so once I get that number together I will email you and see if we are far off each other.

Thanks for your time and sorry for any inconvenience.

You will have that with Craigslist. I've found multiple deals on there and recently people have been posting stuff that is too good to be true. After emailing them, I've gotten an automated response back saying to "check out beezid.com to purchase items just like it".
