CraigsList "Come On" Moment

[82atari5200]

I submit to you that they know exactly what they are doing. My theory goes that these people who ask such mind boggling high prices for collectibles are actually p-whipped little beta males whose dominating wives tell them they better sell all of these "toys" and grow up. Instead of just standing up to their wives/girllfriends and lay down the law, they capitulate and say "Yes Dear" in their best Droopy voice and post these items on repective sites to sell. They the make the price so out of this world high that nobody would ever consider buying it and thus nobody does. So they can now walk back to their partners and proudly declare that I'm trying to sell my stuff Dear, but nobody is buying. It must be the recession, and thereby absolving themselves of any disobediance. Then my theory finishes up with the wife banging the pool boy because she loathes her spineless jellyfish of a man and needs a real man.

 

In closing I would love for someone to prove my theory wrong. But I don't think you will.

Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Droopy - hahahaha!

 

I think of him every time I hear a muffin bringing up his wife when it comes to "his" hobbies.

 

So yeah, you're spot on there 82atari5200!

Sounds like a Pink Floyd song.

The Craigslist is on some grass.

Remembering games and eBay claims and scams.

Got to keep the flippers off the path.

I've seen some Crazy Craiglist Ads, but mainly about people tryin' to sell Cars.

 

Living in Honduras made Difficult to me to buy anything from Craiglist, but sometimes I Purchase things from e-Bay, Amazon and other sites.

 

In Latin America, people refered to the Atari Cartridges in two ways, depending on the Years, let me Explain:

 

In the Late 1970's Decade to the Late 1980's Decade, People called them "Cartuchos" which is the Spanish word for Cartridges, but related to the Eight Track (8-track) Audio Cartridges.

 

From the Late 1980's Decade and on, people call them "Cassettes"

 

I Own two Atari 5200 Consoles, one is the 4 Port Made in USA and the Other is the Two Port Made in Taiwan, both obtained back in the day, here, in Honduras.

 

Still those are my Favourite Game Consoles.

 

Kind regards.

You've got to be kidding. This is rediculous. What are they gonna do 6 months from now when they still have it and sit there wondering "why won;t this sell?"

Probably why it needs to sell fast and he needs the cash. Possible bail money??
