Definitely. If you go to his house, he’s got the home field advantage in terms of sound proofing and body disposal. At your place, you at least have a fighting chance.
To gain further advantage, I recommend you pepper spray him as soon as he walks in the door.
I say no, not because you’ll get murdered but because it’s a hassle. Just put up an ad that says “as is” and sell them that way.
Seconded. Much is left to the imagination in this post.
it depends - will he be bringing his own popcorn for when he’s playing? you invite someone to your house, you’ll be expected to feed them.
Do you offer free refills? If so, make sure your trash cans are void of any empty popcorn cups.
Can I vote, “yes, you’ll be murdered”?
Well, I never flip a trick off CL without at least getting a face pic (but be careful about the FGAS) … I don’t care how “discrete” [sic] you are. Ideally, you should get a couple more R-rated ones too before you seal the deal (this is especially helpful to dispel any FGAS illusions).
Of course, you could always tell him you can’t host. I usually make something up about a roommate/visitor/place is untidy/etc. etc.
XOXO, HTH!!
What would you do if you were selling a sofa on Craigslist rather than a video system? Would you allow the person into your home to look at it, and if they liked it, to then shlep it out of your home to their vehicle, or would you get it to the curb by yourself and force them to take it as-is?
Does trying it out mean turning it on and putting in a game to make sure it loads, or hanging out for half an hour playing something? If it’s the former, make sure you’ve got other people around and go for it. The latter’s a bit much.
Do you live in a house? There’s always the option of setting up a tv in the garage with the game console. Or you could simply say if he wants to try them out you’ll be glad to provide an extension cord leading out your front door. Anything else is up to him.
I don’t have a garage Mr. Richie Rich
Well then have your butler set the game system up on the front lawn. Cripes, your personal assistant should have explained all this to you by now.
Ok first tell your butler to get a garage and then have your handy-man set up the system in the garage. You might want to have your driver move the Bently out of the garage before you have your handy-man set up the system.
Is there that big of a demand for ColecoVision games?
Meet at his place. Disposing of a body can be a lot of work. It makes more sense to leave the messy stuff for the other guy.
I sold some stereo electronics once, and I didn’t want to invite the buyer into my bedroom or take the time to set it up elsewhere, so I just gave him 2 days to return it if it didn’t work.
come on man turbografx-16 isn’t nearly as old as colecovision. And I have the advantage of holding the monopoly on the local craigslist turbografx market.
Congratulations. NOW you’re cool.
will I still be cool even after my turbografx is sold?
Now guys, let’s not jump to any immediate conclusions about the OP getting murdered. There’s a perfectly reasonable chance he’ll only be tied up, robbed and left in his basement.
Really though, this guy wouldn’t get to test out a video game if he bought it at Best Buy, why should the rules be changed just because it’s a private seller? Tell him to go to GameRankings.com like the rest of us.
