Video Game "Look what I found"

[Snatch1414]

Just happened to open kijiji at the right time today.



Sure, everything was filthy, but after a cleaning I'm pretty pleased. Only one of the three analogue sticks are usable(the green controller), aside from that it all works great.

Wow. That would've been a nice buy without the games, which....wow.

So is Kijiji the new eBay or something? Inspired by elricorico's post, I figured I'd check eBay for BuyItNows just cuz I never use eBay. Are these really the prices people charge there now? It's like a lot of 6 genesis games with two 'okay' titles for $60, three 16 bit sports games for $27.95, etc. Really?????

I'm very impressed that the seller actually held it for you at that price. Good job!

Around these parts, even if responded to within the first minute, this ad would have turned into a bidding war. Once the seller caught wind, it would then inevitably be re-posted an hour later at or above ebay value.

This is definitely not a common occurrence on Kijij. It does happen, but seldom do deals like this end up going through. Luckily, it would seem that in this fellas case, the sharks weren't circling when it was posted. We all luck out sometimes.

I've had that happen here too, but sometimes you get lucky!

Got out early to a yard sale supposed to start at 8 am. I got there at 755 and it was on, a swarm of people so I walked up, they had advertised "gameboy and Ds stuff" so some dude was already molesting what looked like the gameboy advance "stuff" red sp, several games that I couldn't see the titles, so I spied some Wii "stuff" I latched on to Mariokart wii and Lego batman, 2 Nintendo brand Wiimotes, one with the motion plus attached, got the rubber jackets for the controllers too, saw one of those "super joy" games complete with the little gun and everything in a shoebox. The gb dude got his take including a yellow Pokemon storage case the red sp and at least 8 carts for $25 bucks. So I asked how much for my finds and she said $3 each on the wii games, $2 for the superjoy, then I saw a ds storage case and a charger, I got both those of $1. The ds had broken and I asked about the Wii but they had been burglarized at some point and the wii had been stolen but not the games. Musta been out of site. Then hit a flea market and got the old Genesis console and power cord only for $3, a ps2 slim with wireless guitar and receiver, 2 ps2 dual shock controllers, a/v and power cord and a stack of ps2 games with some good ones see pics, 1 Xbox game Mortal Kombat Deception Star Wars Rebel assault 2 for PS1 complete, all Ps2 games were complete including resident evil 4, guitar hero 1&2, destroy all humans, atv off road fury 2, NASCAR something madden something. He wouldn't budge off the $40 that's how I got the Xbox and PS1 game, I told him I would take thePs2 at $40 if he threw them in lol and he did. So hit another huge yard sale and got th other stack of Ps2 games with final fantasy X, dark cloud, Star Wars episode 3, Star Wars clone wars, Star Wars ,Jedi Starfighter, Gamecube Wave Race Blue storm and Fire Blade, sonic the hedgehog genesis and PS1 Tecmo Super Bowl and finally Oh Brother Where Art Thou DVD(Been looking for it wanting to watch it again) all for 16 bucks, same place Ps1 console with av cable only $1, dreamcast controller no vmu $1, activision plug and play TV game $1. Tested it and it and the superjoy work great! The activision has Pitfall,Riverraid, spider fight, boxing, Tennis and 3 more I can't remember. All this was picked up by 12pm and I got home unloaded, and then went to work testing, cleaning sorting and such. Pretty productive morning!

I am one of the people who is upset by the recent ebay prices which seem just as much on Amazon. I got a used Luigi's Mansion for $35 which I think is very expensive compared to

-brand new Super Mario Galaxy for $25-30 .
-Super Luigi U brand new - $25
-Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U brand new - $23

on the PS3 side

-Assassin's Creed IV brand new- $30
-Skyrim brand new - $16

I just checked used Def Jam for NGC and it probably averages around ($25) used on ebay. With prices like these, maybe I will start supporting piracy against greed. When you think about it, the developer/publisher is probably making 0 money from the used market of 10 year old games. I will enjoy the games and let the collectors/hoarders enjoy their super pricy physical "assets" .

Yeah well there is clouds reflecting on the windshield but the other is the clear coat peeling off. Happens a lot on early 2000 gm vehicles. This is a 2002 cavalier that gets 29 mpg and I drive it to work and to run around to yard sales and flea makets. Doesn't hurt getting sellers down a few bucks when the see that p.o.s.!!
