Honestly, what a pathetic selling point on my local CL. The same machines which have been trying to sell (for more than they are worth) now are being labeled as "Great Christmas Gift". Of course, it's not just arcade games. I've been noticing alot of items which have been top-posted for months using this same tactic. Whether it's RC cars, XBOX360s, whatever.

It's like what? I had no clue that this item would be useful for until *gasp* really? It could make a great Christmas present? Oh fuck me! I gotta go out and buy it. I never even thought of that!

If you have to resort to using the whole XMAS tactic to peddle your shit on CL, you need a better paying job.

Yeah, it's an overused and lame ploy. But, it works. Especially with people who have run out of gift ideas.
