SELLING MY MS PACMAN COCKTAIL GAME. TABLE SHOWS SOME WEAR. DESCENT CONDITION. GAME WORKS GREAT! MONITOR IS DESCENT. OFFERS START AT 350 DOLLARS THANKS.

I know using Craigslist as an auction site isn't new, but this is the first time I've seen it done blatantly on a regular basis by multiple sellers. Is this happening where you live?
 
It is also apparently a forum for the visually deaf (ALL CAPS SCREAMING) and a place to sell your declining games.

I got an email from someone in NY selling a Berzerk. I assume because my VAPS profile says I'm looking for one.

The email asked me if I wanted to go on a road trip to NY to bid on his game. Umm…No.
