Shitty Price What a deal!
Ps4 slim and you even get two games with it.

Hello.
Since the founder of this subreddit wasn't doing much to watch over this place, I decided to take things into my own hands and well... now I'm the captain of this sub!
This place is getting an overhaul in the coming days. Thus far, I've removed and approved a few posts and comments, established some guidelines, added post flairs, added text to the sidebar, and a couple other minor updates.
Post flairs include "Shitty Price", "Shitty Condition", "Counterfeit", "False Advertising", "Scalping", and "Scam".
Here's the plan.
Not specifically in that order.
Hope to make this subreddit a little less shitty.

Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce a couple of changes to the community's rules in light of some review we've done of the Sub's posting habits and trends.
Memes are now allowed any day, any time, and not exclusively on Mondays.
The traffic of memes on this Sub is so slow, that we figured that it did not make sense to continue restricting them to only Mondays. As such going forward, please feel free to post memes any time you wish!
DKOldies posts are now permitted, but only on Merchant Mondays
Dunking on places like DKOldies is fun, even if it is low-hanging fruit, which between its low-hanging fruit status and the actions of a certain spammer were the main reasons behind restricting these posts. We've decided to allow posts related to DKOldies as well as any other shitty merchants, but, these posts are now restricted to "Merchant Mondays" which also leads us into our final change.
"Meme Mondays" are now "Merchant Mondays"
Pretty self-explanatory, memes are now allowed 24/7, and have been replaced with "Merchant Mondays" to dunk on known vendors who have shady practices.
Please note that we still have to tweak the AutoMod, so, your DKOldies posts may still be auto-removed for the time being. We will have this corrected ASAP.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to the team via Modmail.
Thank you!

Ok, is this a legal scam? And if wrong sub please direct me thanks.
I collect video games of every genre, generation, memorable, games etc...go every yard sale/thrift store/pawn, straight to the games. Nintendo, PS, is my thirst for some reason.
I watch a lot of the videos of other collectors finding good deals at thrift stores and yard sales etc.
Today this one seller posted a video of him buying a used console with the ever-so-catchy 'Goodwill employee that priced this is gonna get fired.'...
50$ price tag haystation tres normal vanilla oneI have 3 or 4 in my game storage. Was SHOCKED when he posted 140$ ebay Sale?!?
Went to pricecharting and the eb sale is not listed there, but I'm no priceharting expert, go fleabay and there tis le sale, same date same price same photo...so he's legit, PS3 slim are worth 140... what? That's more than a ps4?
Go back to PCH...a loose PS3 slim with controller & cable is worth 90... that's weird who's paying 140$ for a 90$ item?
Let's go see mr thrift store hunters warez on display because I haz coin.
So I'm looking at his 9 other auctions...ok he's either really good at keeping inventory flowing for making 20 videos a day or... something smelly fishy. only 9 items for sale
4 buy it nows 130-150 for a PS3 slim and a controller, 2 prong 110v cable and HDMI....? Right. Has sold approximately 1500 the same ps3 in last 12 months?
2 overly priced ps4 slims BIN
Controller in great shape for more than PCH, and 518 sales...what thrift store has 518 and 3 available...
Another BIN for a video cable with average price...9 sold 3 available.
Last one is random football game, disc only, 1 available, 9 sold. Weird.
He has 11.2k sales in last 12 months.
2400 feedbacks... only 3 neutral, 2 bad. All PS3 complaints
My curiosity leads me to is video shorts claiming how amazing he is at finding thrift store deals. To find 11,000 PS3 and ps4s in the last 12 months would be an average of 30 per day. There must be a lot thrift stores in his town...well, megalopolis.
I don't really care if it's quasi legit, or legal, is the end game getting views and subscribers? Does he own the thrift stores and that's where the truckloads of consoles are coming from? Or this guy is legit?

Classic craigslist

This was listed as a genuine copy of the game and may even have sold.

Marketplace never fails to deliver.
Came across this listing today where someone is trying to sell a plain Ice Blue DS Lite for a casual £250 listed as a "Nintendo 3DS"
No charger, no games, just the handheld. The best part? The second picture shows the back of the shell clear as day showing "DS Lite" right above the serial number.
Thought I’d be nice and drop a quick message to let them know it’s the wrong gen and it usually goes for under £30 but the seller was not having it. They said
"Yes. Are you interested?
"Got a problem?"
"Got a problem go away"
Blah blah blah
Customer service is 10/10. Good luck to whoever drops a quarter grand on this!🤣

Just scrolled by Ruby and Sapphire in good condition for 200 each and thought that was a bad price and then I saw this!
r/Shittygamecollecting • u/Rick_MyBars • 7d ago
Day one buy? Not in box, no manual just the cart.

Even a few months ago, I was able to go in there & grab a game or 2 for under 20 bucks each. Now... even the shovelware junk is up to 19" each... bioshock 1 was 25 $ today. I misplaced my god of war 3 disc & there were a half dozen copies on the shelf, one copy that was scratched no manual was 19 $ & the rest all went up from there. Even og x box shovelware / high production copies like fable were 30 + & up & the million copies of 360 Tom Clancy games for 25 & up... but hey, I got a dvd of " the rock " for $ 5 & American gangster 2 disc dvd for $2.

I wish I could put multiple tags for shitty product and price. What the hell was he thinking listing it for $500?

Why do so many eBay Sellers think it's ok to TIGHTLY zip tie cables when they ship their items?
Controllers, AV, power cables, whatever it is, rubber bands can do the same thing and not put you at risk of cutting the cable.
Common sense is not common anymore 🤦♂️

Still has the book and everything.
