I've got a craigslist story for y'all. Today I went on the local site and there usually isn't much on there, but there was a picture with two GBA SPs. I called up the seller to see if they were 101s and managed to talk her through where to look on the systems, and she found out and reported back that they were both 001s. So no go on that.
As I was on the phone with her, I realized there was a small black item in the same picture of one of the video game lots she was selling. It looked a bit like a Micro. I asked her if that's what it was and she said yes. I asked what she was selling it for. She said, make an offer. I said, how's $10? She was like, that sounds pretty reasonable to me...but I have to check with my brother. I'll get back to you since he's at work. I texted her a short while later and her brother had said he'd be good with a solid $20. I called on the powers of the great Rusty Pup (he of Real Deal Baseball fame) and said $15 and she had herself a deal. She said she'd check with him and should hear back by 4 PM. She also said the Micro did not come with a faceplate but came with a charger, and was in good shape.
She also asked if I wanted anything else. I said I'd bring extra cash so I could look at some other games I was potentially interested in. She had MK Super Circuit which I used to have but don't feel too into and some Pokemon games. (Actually maybe I should have gotten the Pokemon Red, isn't that worth something these days?) Anyway, I digress. We made the deal and she actually ended up meeting me at a local supermarket that was equidistant for us since she lived 40 mins away from me. We managed to locate one another without any issue. She'd offered to bring a game for me to test the system with which was a good idea, so I declined and just brought DKC and SMW to test. SMW worked like a charm so we exchanged the $15 for the Micro. And here I am with my new Micro. And, so psyched. I think this was a pretty darn good deal! I just need a faceplate now. Can anyone hook me up or sell/trade me one? Thanks all. I'm so psyched to be part of the Micro crew!
