You might have seen the post in the F/S section about Shark Attack for $60 on Tampa CL. I had contacted the seller right after he listed it and asked when I could come to see it. He replied back that it would have to be Saturday and asked if I knew it didn't work. I told him Saturday was fine and as long as it was complete and not filled with termites I would take it. He says he doesn't think it has termites and will let me know about Saturday.
Then I see someone posted the CL ad here about an hour after it went up. I know this has been discussed numerous times but unless it is your ad don't post a CL ad right when it goes up, especially on a rarer game. If it is still up in a couple days then it is fine to say 'hey look, a (whatever game) is for sale and nobody has got it yet'.
The next morning the ad is gone. I contact the seller and ask what happened and if he already sold it. The reply I get back was 'No, I'm tired of people bugging me about the game'. I write back sorry and I wasn't trying to bug him but did I still have a chance to get the game. Tells me he'll see what we can do Saturday. At this point I still don't have the guys number or even his name but figure I'll just have to wait and contact him again Friday and see what is happening.
So last night I email him and he says around 1 or 2. Okay, still don't know where I am going. He asks if I want the address now or when he calls me in the morning, well, now so I can Mapquest it and figure out when I need to leave to be there at 1 or 2. It was like pulling teeth with this guy so I was not feeling very confident. Call him this morning to make sure he would be there and off I went. I was hoping it wasn't going to be a case of once I get there 'Well, another guy offered me $200' or whatever and that it would be complete. He tells me he is working on getting it out and should have everything moved by the time I get there.
Here is what the cab looked like.
