If they take the time and effort to place the ad then why is it so beyond their ability to simply type out the names of the games being sold?!?!
That's a big peeve of mine. People putting no details in their listing. I just move along to the next listing.

I agree, its a giant pain in the ass. However, sometimes I do ask for a list or a bigger picture because I've gotten fantastic deals on stuff where the person was lazy or didn't spend the time to describe things all the way.

That's true, I once scored a boxed japanese MD game, and a Boxed Action Replay 2 for a few bucks. Just because the picture was so terribly bad and small, you couldnt possibly make out what it really was. And the description didnt say much at all, except mega drive games.

So, sometimes bad pictures and descriptions can be a blessing if you can identify stuff yourself.

He coulda just said "some games" or "a plurality of games". You expect him to READ the titles on the carts and LIST them just for your convenience? You whiner.
I'm being sarcastic about how on Craigslist everyone always says "I have a Nintendo/Sega/whatever with 10 games", but they never tell the titles. Sorry.

Like my NES I got with all the hookups a controller and an advantage for 29 bucks shipped on ebay due to a crappy description and a stock photo. And the NES worked too!
