Top Five Reasons arcades on CL annoy the Hell out of me!!
1. Out of control prices on non working machines. I understand listing "working" machines at a higher price. Ive done it several times and have gotten a lot of bites but posting non working machines at higher prices that WORKING machines is ridiculous. Just annoys me. Your shitty conversion of Tekken with no monitor isnt worth $650!
2. No pictures. Its 2009 get a flipping picture up! No excuses I mean my flipping iPod can take and upload pics!
3. SHITTY pictures. You know the listings with the pictures posted sideways or there will be a row of like 7 machines and they will have one pic of all of them. Im not impressed with your shitty collection of Data East machines just get me one decent pic of the machine you have listed.
4. Bad Grammar and Crappy Spelling! Im guilty of this from time to time and probably on this posting but c'mon you are really going to spell it Miss PackMan? I mean read the flipping marquee! I have yet to read any evidence that if you put your entire post in CAPS IT WILL RESULT IN A QUICK SELL!!!
5. No Description. These are usually the same posters who dont include a pictures. "Arcade from 80's. Takes Coins. $1500 obo" Well that narrows it down!
I use to love Craiglist. In 2008 I either bought, sold, or traded 53 machines on there. This year I have sold one and have yet to work out a deal on a purchase. Maybe its just me but it just seems the listings have been ridiculous. Not just the pricing but everything. Its a f*cking headache!
Thats my rant.
