I know people want deals, but its frustrating from a buying and selling standpoint on CL.
Having to haggle over prices, or just completely disregarding guys who want the moon. I've seen a shitty label Earthbound listed for 300 bucks. Having to fucking sync up to meet someone at their house or at a mall, and if you don't meet up at your house or their house you run the risk of getting some garbage that doesn't work. Most people are asking eBay or gamestore prices anyways, so its almost always better to just buy from eBay, pay the shipping because you -know- if it doesn't work you can send it back and get a refund, sure you're out return shipping, but thats a small price to pay. You can go on CL and be left with a fucking 60 dollar brick, which is way better then eating 5 bucks for shipping and then leaving a neutral or neg.
I'm a busy guy. its nice to just buy my shit and have it show up on my doorstep when I get home from work. Likewise, its nice when I sell duplicates to just do a quick run to the post office since I can do other errands on the way and I don't have to actively go out of my way to meet someone.
CL is good for big stuff, where shipping is going to be 50+ dollars. But I mean that being said, I bought my big ass CRT on eBay and it was only 30 bucks to ship.
Its all a total crapshoot, but I honestly believe people on CL are worse then your average ebay user.
