    Re: Would you order a console off Craigslist?

    Just bought my PS3 last week off craigslist for $260. Runs great! Guy was very nice and I drove down to pick it up. Just make sure you ask any questions you have and like a previous poster said, follow your gut feel.

      I'm looking to buy a PS3 but $400 is a little steep right now. I've seen a few on Craigslist used going for $300. Would you guys buy a console off Craigslist? I'm kind of worried about buying it and it crapping out on my in a week.

      The deal is actually still going on
      Opinions?
      I would not do it, I`d be afraid of buying any kind of used electronics off Craigslist.

      Anyways You can find deals on a PS3 just recently there was a deal on slickdeals.net that was posted, that Dell had 20% off new coupon. That would have brought a 80gb PS3 down to $320

        I don't think I would buy a current gen console, but I did buy a PS2 for $30. Seems to work fine.

          If you're buying something, take a friend or two with you that can do something if anything happens. Also, make sure that you test it first before anything. As the economy is on the down still, a lot of people are being more honesty with selling things, but there are still a lot of douches who love to con. Gut feeling always works too.

            I would only do it if they had a receipt with it so you could take it back to the store if it quit working.

                no, craigslist isn't just better PR, it's better overall because you have the ability to just go pick up something local. plus you're less apt to be scammed as well when meeting someone local face-to-face. not to mention $0 shipping fees and the immediate satisfaction of getting something without waiting.

                  OK, sounds good. I guess craigslist learned from ebay's mistakes.
