Community REALLY? Buying used video games and stuff on the Craigslist

Some people lack the urgency or ability to check/reply their emails or their text messages when they want to sell their video games or equipment.

Seriously?

I email/text message/call about 10 people on their Craigslist ads regarding the PSP they want to sell. Some don't include the model #. Is it a 1001? A 2000? A 3000 model? Is it even slim? Does it have a memory card or chargers? What size is the memory? What's the physical/mechanical condition of the system? Did your kid smash it on the ground before you were trying to sell it?

They leave out so many information at times, it requires 2 or 3 follow up emails which spans over a week and they end up dropping the ball somewhere and forget about your email/text message altogether.

Then you find out a week later, after continuous follow up, they say "Sorry dude, it's sold". I'm like WTF man. I been trying to follow up with you and you sell it to some random fucker that says, "I'll buy".

I'm surprised that anyone ever sells anything on craigslist because i get the feeling that 95% of the sellers on there are so lackadaisy that they never really wanted to sell it in the first place. They post it online to see how much it's worth locally and never reply back to you.

Show some damn common courtesy because the guy asking for the price and is WILLING to meet up anytime just MIGHT be looking to play PERSONA and P3P and needs to find a PSP locally.

Dude, happened to me soooo many times when I first bought my ps3 and wanted some games and controllers for cheap. Its like they are all the same douchebag.

Which is bullshit because my friend was like " yea dude I got a used ps3 and 4 games for like $150"

Shit I have been getting the response, sorry I already sold it, but I got mine at (insert random auction site) check it out. Just what I want a link to an auction site, freaking spam monsters.

I don't know if I'd buy something like that from craigslist. That site is a Jimmyfest, more so than Gouki has ever been.

Just cough up the extra $50 and buy it here http://www.amazon.com/
Take your pick, you don't have to leave your house and deal with any nubfarm. Plus you'll help Gouki out a little bit.

Thanks for posting.

I've had that auction thing happen too. Craigslist is alright sometimes, but it's usually a waste of time. My friend has really good luck with it for some reason though.
