How to find cheap video game on Craigslist.





Recently I have been having a lot of luck finding TONS of vintage and modern video games to fill up my Amazon store.

Here are a few tips that will help you find great deals on games and whatever else you might be looking for on Craigslist.

#1.  If you do find a killer deal, go pick it up as soon as possible.   I have had many amazing deals get snatched up by someone else because I was being lazy and didn't want to conduct the transaction the same day.

#2.  Don't be afraid to drive a distance to get a great deal, but make sure it is worth your while and ask if you can get a discount for the drive.

#3.  If you don't like driving to pick stuff up, you can always offer a better purchase price if the person comes to you.  I do with with Playstation 2s all the time.  I pay $15.00 if I have to come to them, and $25.00 if they come to me.  $25.00 is a good price for the seller and it usually draws out people that were on the fence about selling at $15.00.

#4.  Don't low ball people.  If you pay people fair prices, they are going to tell all of their gamer friends and you will end up having more games to buy.

#5.  Make sure to ask if they have any other games they are looking to sell, and if they do not, ask them to let all of their friends know that you are looking for games.

#6.  People are more likely to contact through text message so if you have unlimited texting, Have your phone number in your listing.  Don't use all numbers or bots will pick up on it and you will start getting phone calls, instead spell out the numbers like this:  Eight 4 Three 5 1 3 Six One 3 2.

#7.  If you are looking for something specific, make sure to try your luck with the most general search region in your area.  You never know when someone may have placed the thing you are looking for in a completely different category.

#8.  Search Craigslist on a daily basis and setup alerts for items you are looking for.

#9.  Like pictures instead of words?  Check out Craig's Easy, and set yourself up an easy button.  Once setup, you can go to Craigslist, hit the easy button and just view pictures.

#10.   Remember the renew your listings constantly, no one will be contacting you if your ads are expired.

Well that's all for now, I hope you found my tips helpful.   Good luck out there,  Famous Turtle OUT!
