FLAG THIS GUY AGAIN!
Why does he need to be flagged? Unless I missed it I see no bootlegs or copies. :?
Because the guy is a moron trying to sell rare games for 30 - 50 more then what they go for on all places CL...

But that's not a reason to flag him. If people are willing to pay that much, oh well. If you want to make a post with a "RE:Playstation 1 2 PS1 SNES NES Video Games + More (Sacramento)" and say he's charging too much, that's fine. But he's not posting anything illegal, in the wrong category, or flaming anyone, which you would want to avoid in your post if you make one.

I see people posting overprices stuff all the time on CL here. I just laugh and move on. When I see it reposed over and over for months, I keep on laughing. As long as its legal, its a free market.

I got a good deal for an NES on eBay from someone whose description was vague and had a stock photo. The person had an 100% rating, so I felt good. The other items the person was selling was stuff like baby clothes and shoes so I had the feeling it was just some mom cleaning out here closet and was like NES WTF is that?

I paid 29 bucks (that was with the shipping) for a working NES, one standard gamepad, and an NES Advantage and all the hookups and what not. Pretty good considering whenever I seen NESes in stores people want like 50-60 bucks. Hell one auction on eBay that I bid on ended up going for 70 something bucks for an NES that needed a new pin connector.
