The ! Means He's Excited

This is so lame, but people post like this everyday expecting possible sellers to do all the work and the buyer can pick and choose as he likes.  Well, screw that.

As originally posted on Craigs List:

Looking for some video games!

Hello, I'm looking for any games that you have that you want to sell. Pending on the game and system, I will offer you $1 - $10 a game. Games that are COMPLETE (Box, Game, Instructions, any thing else inside the original box) are much more intriguing to me and you will get my attention first. Please let me know off the bat if they are complete. 
I'd prefer most older games. (Such as Nintendo or NES, Super Nintendo or SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Playstation 1 and 2, etc.) Not looking for the newer generations games like PS3 or XBOX360. I will buy lots, single games, anything, you name it! Please send me a list of what you have and if possible a picture of the item/items. 
I'm also looking for a few actual systems, so let me know what you have, and I'll let you know if im interested!

Agentkooper's Response:

Hello,

I'm going to be married soon and I don't think I'll have time for my old games.  It makes me sad, but if I can send them to someone who will appreciate them I'll feel much better.

I attached a picture of my collection (no time to list) but there are a few hundred of them.  I didn't realize that games were worth so much less without covers or instructions so I guess I can let the whole thing go for a few hundred.  Make an offer!

Just a few minutes after sending this email the guy was ready to go.  He sure likes him some games!!  His response:

Where are you located? Do you have the systems for the games?

Of course I do!  Don't be ridiculous:

I'm located in Bellevue.  I do have the consoles, but the NES is hard to get to work sometimes (lot's of blowing!, haha).  I also have more than what's in the picture, but like I said, I thought they were worth a lot until I read your post saying games weren't complete without box, instructions and stuff.  So just make an offer.  I'll make a list of games if that will make it easier to come up with a fair price.  It's hard to tell in the picutre, but there are some folders that have sega saturn games in them.

Damn, this guy is keeping me busy.  His response:

if you had a list that would be great.

So he writes 9 words and wants me to send him a huge ass list so he can then decide if he wants the games or not.  I'm only too happy to oblige:

It's going to take me a little while.  I'll be done in an hour or two.

I thought that might guilt him a bit, but no, several responses in a row:

Are there many sports games? I am not really looking for sports games.

 

Thanks

And then in response to me being done in an hour or two:

sounds good 

And because he is such a good guy:

you dont need to list any of the atari stuff

So we thought we'd give him a nerd-gasm:

Is it going to be worth more than $200?  Otherwise I don't know if I want to take the time.  Will you be able to pick up?

How nice of him to respond:

How about $200 - $300?? Could you just list the systems and how many games? Yes I could pick up

 

thanks

More from me:

OK, I'll get on it right away!  Should I just throw the Atari stuff out then?

And his response:

No dont throw the Atari stuff out. Do you have many Mario Games or Contra?

I decided not to list everything I told him I had on here, but the list I copied can be found on this site: http://www.phillip.htmlplanet.com/photo3.html

I hope he tries to lo-ball me now:

It should probably be $300 just for how long it took to type this list (LOL!)  Seriously though, I know it's a pain to drive all the way here so just make a fair offer.  I know the Saturn wasn't very popular and the Atari is old and I don't have boxes so it's not a very good collection.  Just let me know what is a fair price.

I guess the list wasn't good enough because he sent this back in two seperate emails:

Can you please list how many controllers you have for each system

 

Thanks

and:

Do have an Nintendo 64?

My response:

I do, but I'm giving those to charity

I feel really bad for him because he sent me this:

darn I was really looking for 1

And then the final offer:

Would you take $250.00 cash?

For that collection?  $250... cash?  Wow!  An awesome deal!  3k worth of games for $250!  Nice!  Of course I'll take $250!

As long as that is fair.  Of course I'll take $250!!!

But I wouldn't want to put him out:

I cant get up there until this weekend

Now to find out if the guy has any soul at all:

Ok, that sounds good!  I didn't want to tell you earlier because I didn't want to make you feel guilty and pay more than the games are worth, but all of this is going toward hip replacement surgery to cure a degenerative bone disease that will take my leg if I don't get the surgery done in time.  So thanks for being a fair dealer.  This will help a lot toward the $20,000-$30,000 it's going to cost!  

Why don't you email me on Friday and we can set up a meeting time.

Thanks again!  This is what makes craigslist so great!

It turns out he feels really bad for me:

Thanks....If you had the Nintendo 64 and i had some more cash i would have loved to offer more. My wife is going to kill me. She thinks I am crazy for collecting video games. I already have 1000's of video games. I used to collecte them when I was younger but started back collecting them to help stop a gambling problem I had. What was your name? My name is Ryan.

 

Thanks

If only I had the Nintendo 64 this would have been so much better for him, I mean me, I mean him:

Alvin Cooper

Nice to meet you

Cold, Cold World

I'm not going to be contacting this guy, but it's too good not to show:

50+ blue and orange popsicles

My kids only eat red popsicles, so here I am again, with a freezer full of blue and orange popsicles . . . . Free to anyone who can pick them up today. Tell me what time you can be hear (I'm near Steilacoom and Bridgeport) and I'll send the address to whoever can be hear first.

Hating Toys

Poop n Pee put me onto this one because he is an asshole.

As oringally seen on Craigs List:

Easter Bunny - A MUST HAVE!! - $25

Get both of these cuddly "Easter bunny bears" for only $25... They are NEW!!!! NOT USED! 9.5" 2 Assorted Color Sitting Bears wearing rabbit ears. Bears are assorted tan and brown. Each is wearing a jelly bean ribbon and holding a decorated Easter egg. WONT LAST LONG... LIMITED SUPPY.... EMAIL ASAP...

Our response:

Hello,

According to your listing on Craigs List the product you are offering, two bears dressed in Easter attire, "are NEW!!!! NOT USED!".  I am interested, but only if you promise that no child has cuddled, looked at while smiling, or in any other way brought joy to these Easter bears.  I realize this request may sound strange, but my children demand emotionally deprived or even abused toys as they believe it makes the toy more self reliant on them, and thankful for any amount of attention they show.

Thank you

I like this guy!  His response:

LOL... Yep!  Thats all I have are emotionally deprived toys looking for a home...

Don't we all... Don't we all.

I'm Your Biggest Fan!!

Just asking the obvious.  Original Craig's List post:

Desk Fan - $5

i have an brandnew desk fan still in the box and sealed look at the pictures iff u are interested please call me at ***-***-**** thanks !!!!

Sometimes it's fun just to be an asshole:

Hello,

I am very interested in purchasing your desk fan, but I am curious how you know that there is actually a fan inside the box if the box is sealed.  Could you open the box to make sure before this sale progresses?  Any pics proving it is a fan would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Oh good God she opened it and responded twice:

hy there i m nicole !!!! i just opened the fan and it is a fan in there still rapped up and brandnew !!!! let me what u think or if u want them !!!! my number is ***-***-****   thanks

hy there !!!! i just opened it and it is a fan in there with everything still packed up let me know what u think or iff u wanna have it !!!! thanks or call me at ***-***-****

I was just going to ask her if she had a sealed one because I don't like to buy used, but Poop n Pee insists that I push this a bit farther.  Agentkooper's response:

Nicole,

Is there any chance I could get a scan of the front of the fan or a photo of the fan next a standard stuffed animal (like a Care Bear, Gloworm, etc.) so I can better gauge the size?  I have a very tight area I have to fit this into and I want to make sure it isn't too big.

Thanks for everything!  You are great to work with!

Believe it or not, she did respond to tell me that the picture of the fan, now opened, was posted (is that a stuffed animal in the picture?):

hy !!!! i have the picture edit to craigslist !!! take a look and let me know  thanks

Lot's for sale, Lot's sold

Huge post, but you have to see the whole thing to understand my response.  Thanks to Poop n Pee for putting this one together.

Agentkooper's response (as written by Poop n Pee)

Dear Sir or Madam
I am most interested in all the games you have for sale in this post, with the exception of Simon's Quest.  That is a very bad game (follow link for more on that subject http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4we8iFk-fY).

Before we can discuss a meeting place, bulk pricing or the possibility of trades I would appreciate new pictures of the games with the word "sold" super imposed over each item for sale.  While this may be an odd request it would put my mind at ease that you will in fact be selling the games and further confirm your dedication.

Thank you for your time.

P.S.
What happened with Bomberman Hero to make the text for the word "sold" green instead of red?  I am nervous.

His response didn't anwser my questions, but you can see it below:

Hi, I can do bulk pricing. Let me know what games you are interested in, and then I can take a picture of it for you and attach to your email.

Thanks.

So let's ask again:

I find it very disconcerting that you didn't answer my question.  Why does Bomberman Hero have a green "sold" over the top when every other game had red writing?  I am very concerned that this may be a scam in progress.

Otherwise, I am interested in all the games that don't have lines through them.  The others are bad luck and I don't want them in my home.

Please send a picture with "sold" written over the top so I know you are not thinking of also selling these to others.

Thank you

What a load of crap!

Thanks to friend Poop n Pee for sending so many of these awesome products.

As originally posted on Craig's List:

Manure

6 - 5gallon buckets and 3 smaller buckts

My response to the ad below:

Hello,

I am interested in the manure but I have a few questions.  Is it fresh?  What are the dietary habits of the production animal?  Especially curious if the manure can be considered organic.  I am somewhat confused by the volume of the manure.  Are you offering between five and six one gallon buckets, or six buckets each containing five gallons of manure.  Finally, can you check the volume of the three smaller buckets?  This can easily be done by emptying the manure out and measuring the amount of water that it takes to fill each bucket.

Thanks!

Dumping Bush

This guy totally doesn't deserve this, but what the hell?

Original post on Craig's List.

Free bushes---hedging ??

Not sure exactly what they are called, they are approx. 5 feet tall and are up against fencing. I can't take a pic sorry. There are about a dz. you dig them up and they are yours. Otherwise i chop them down and away they go to the dump.

Agentkooper responds:

President GW Bush may not have been the most popular president, but this is a sick joke.  Threatening to chop and dump the bodies of the former President's ancestors is not funny.  On top of that you don't even have the courtesy to look up their names.  How about Prescott Sheldon Bush, or Dorothy Walker, or Rev. James Smith Bush, or even George Herbert Walker?  At least you show the decency not to post pictures of the deceased in various stages of decay, although eluding to such is disgusting. 

What an outrage!
