I have been checking craigslist for over a year everyday on the lookout for any game that I might like to add to my collection. Nothing great has popped up until this last Sunday.
Someone listed a Atari Tempest for $200.00 and also listed a Heavy Barrel for $200.00 in another add. 25 minuets later he listed the same 2 games together in one add. Here are the links.

Doesn't need to be fair trade
Will except cash though 1 for 150$ and both 300$
Looking for anything I will trade for something much less value trying to get rid
Texts with trade proposals
Will text back fast
I thought Wow a Tempest for $150.00 to good to be true but I sent an Email anyway

Hello, I am interested in the Atari Tempest game. Is it still for sale?
I will pay $150.00 cash if the game is complete and the wood cabinet doesn't have any major water damage or other damage.
Where and when would be a good time for me to look at the game. Is their easy access to the game? no basement or stairs to move up or down.
I have a hand truck and lift gate on the truck.
Thanks
Sam
I got no reply from this email so I sent another

I am still interested in buying your Tempest for your $150.00 offer in this add.
Got a reply this time
10/9/2012 9:40:44 P.M.
Offer is at 250
What the heck kind of reply is this? So I sent another email
10/9/2012 9:59:11 P.M
Ok can you clarify what the $250 offer is for?
Your add says
"Will except cash though 1 for 150$ and both 300$"
Thanks

Some guy went up to 250 it doesn't work he wants cabinet not broke just everything is unplugged inside real old
I sent a reply

So does that mean you are taking bids on the game or is it already sold to some guy for $250.00?
If it's now an auction when is the dead line?\
I got a reply
10/10/2012 12:03:02 A.M
Yes auction and Friday 250 is already high
So I guess a craigslist for sale add is really an auction and the guy is taking bids
So I guess I should just walk away from this one.
What does everyone think?
I am sure this happens all the time it's just my first time.
