Craigslist Virgin
21 Oct
The other day, I decided to sell the video games that I no longer play on Craigslist. I could take the games in to a retailer like EB Games or Best Buy, but they take a crazy amount of money from the sale/trade. With Craigslist, I could set my own price and cut out the middle man as it were. Craigslist had come in handy before, I got rid of my apartment; Franz tickets I couldn’t use and we’ve picked up some furniture on there too. It was as good a place as any to start out
I decided to post Heavenly Sword first to see if there was any interest. I tried several times to play the game, but just couldn’t get into it. The graphics were pretty sweet but the actual game play and the controls were brutal. The fighting sequences were long and drawn out and always involved the same moves. I know the game was widely publicized and acclaimed by gamers, but I didn’t find it to be very much fun.
I should mention that before posting the ad, I ran it by S. I felt a bit bad about selling the games since she had bought most of of them for me. She said she was okay with it since I don’t ever play with them, it didn’t really make sense to keep them collecting dust.
