Wow, you had your eyes on it too?
I got lucky this time...I happened to be browsing CL and was fortunate enough to message the seller within like 30 mins.
Such a great find. You looking to maybe part with some?
I'm on a huge NES kick right now, I'm basically trying to get as many games as I can and as cheaply as I can. Believe it or not, none of these for me are duplicates.
Maybe, but at least $5 isn't completely terrible. I actually talked them down from $70 . I was impatient and bought from the only pawn shop with a game section open on Sunday. Probably some of those at other shops could be $2 or so each, but I'm still happy. I got most of the X-Box games I want.
I would say you paid fair value at 50. Your resale margin would be negligible but for your own collection - nice titles.

There was an entire thread about it today...I find it quite amusing that while the other guy was debating it - you had already claimed it. That's pretty funny...oh, and sad for the other guy...I guess.

All I can say is that the concept of the Golden Hour applies to Craigslist deals: unless you message someone about a great deal within an hour of the posting, your chances of bagging the deal aren't good. I happened to be lucky enough to see it within like 30 minutes of the posting.
