Post by: Medic_wheat on June 23, 2014, 08:15:48 AM: The only thing worth my time (to me) are the long box games .....

eveythign else is pretty much just a sports game and the system itself is pretty cheap now a days....

as other said the "auction" thing seems weird.....how the heck woudl you know if you are "bidding" or if it is just the seller saying "Oh you wanted to put in for $120? Sorry man I litterly just got another guy offer me $170..can you you do an even $200? that would put you over the top" .....

lol....

Basically people that will deliver weed to you and take games as payment. At least that's what I got out of it. Here's the ad:

Post by: ProfessorProfessorson on June 23, 2014, 03:18:37 PM: Its a lie. You cant actually bid on items or hold a legit auction on craigs list without proof of other legit bids existing. Its just another method of trying to milk money from morons.

Post by: xelement5x on June 23, 2014, 03:41:21 PM: Damnit, I've been found out!

Now how will I ever get my hands on a Dreamcast 64 without trading some "dank" bud for it. Time to just go toke up and listen to some Bob Marley instead...

Tangentially related, I saw this tidbit posted on a Facebook group and I almost broke my computer:

"Once I sell my doubles I will get 200 back after shipping and fees so not as much damage as it looks. Plus I dont mind paying because games are basically an investment until the hobby crashes"
