I don't understand the trolling myself either. It's harassment and unnecessary. This thread is intended for amusement and posting items that are junk and overpriced where we can have a laugh.
Official Craigslist Absurdity Thread

The cans all feature Natalie Portmans character on the can. They are open, in bad shape, and displayed in a grotey environment. The whole reason I started to troll him was not because the ad was ridiculously absurd but because he was the type to multi post incessantly and flood craigslist with his ad. My first contact with him/her was to request a cease of spam and kindly informed that person that just because something has Star Wars on it doesn't make it inherently valuable, especially since they were empty cans. I constantly flagged the listings as spam but there are ways around that. So I was like what the heck, your going to troll craigslist I'm going to troll you. Was that the mature thing to do? Obviously not but something obviously worked because I don't see the posts anymore.

I thought this was funny. This seller has been trying to unload these figures for the better part of a year, with no luck I presume. Today I noticed that they updated the list of figures to include three more, FX-7, R5-D4, and R2...but...instead of taking a new group photo of all the figures, they photoshopped the new figures into the old picture (first photo). Also, there are two very different Vaders being photographed. It's ads like this that make me laugh, what a mess.
And which figure is "Enoerir Stuff"?

On my local kijiji. No picture, but I assume the seller is talking about the TOPPS trading cards.
those are some fancy photoshop skills.
Did you notice that Yoda got his own special name in the listing: "Voda?"

Yes
And "Book" the Bounty Hunter sounds menacing.

I think I just saw him at the library for Star Wars Reads Day.
This guy is STILL at it here in Maine. His "NEW" price is higher than his last price. Apparently the toy value website he provides a link for values his collection at over 1300.00.
44 Original Stars Wars Figures plus carry case - NEW PRICE
Did you know a loose C-3PO is valued at 40.00?? And a loose Luke Farmboy is 90? We should all bombard that toy site with REAL numbers!

That Snowtrooper with the Leia Cape is pure money. That variation is clearly worth $250.
*long sigh* this guy is just... he's just never gonna understand.
44 Original Stars Wars Figures plus carry case - NEW PRICE
He's been listing this lot for YEARS at $400.

Thanks for posting this. I was feeling a bit glum this morning, the belly laugh helped!
Right, Pete! Can't sell them for 400.00, so why not try 600.00? He's probably thinking someone will offer him 400 and he'll take it. He finally took the time to do some research and found the most absurd website he could find!
Ha! That's what I get for not reading before posting, I didn't even catch that you had just posted him. Sorry about that DJ121!
You can almost "feel" it when someone has found a price guide and decided that it not only accurately reflects the market value, but that its close enough missing accessories and in lesser condition. See it all the time on ebay.

I don't usually do this, however, this is crazy. I think that the cards must have been dipped is some precious metal

I'm convinced that some of these people only do this for attention. Sad really.
this isn't craigslist, but I figured this thread would appreciate this. lol.
At least it's unpunched. Wait...
I'm equally offended by the shipping price.
When I saw this posting I thought for sure it was a huge collection of vintage or something...uh...not exactly.

Okay, it's not Craigslist, but this goes along with the general theme of this thread. You guy won't want to miss this deal on a rancor keeper:
Star Wars Rancor Keeper Guard Jabba Thug Tatooine Skiff Near Mint | eBay
Star Wars Rancor Keeper Guard Jabba Thug Tatooine Skiff Near Mint | eBay
a bit high but not crazy given that shipping is free
It was $100 when I linked to it originally.
...and he accepted a "best offer", doesn't seem absurd to me.
and I just saw your icruise's follow up post, that it was initially listed at $100, that would be absurd.

Aw, and I was hoping I had a super-valuable Rancor Keeper on my hands.
I long ago parted with his pet, the only SW figure I've ever given up. I thought I'd also relinquished the Emperor, but it turns out he was still sharing the bin with all his other vintage friends. I recently re-appropriated my collection from my dad, who had been holding on to it since I was a kid; I think for a long time he was more attached to the notion that these would be worth a lot of money than the figures themselves. But, perhaps he has accepted that this is not so; I, however, just wanted my stuff.
Craigslist scalpers crack me up. I remember when the Zhu Zhu Pets were a huge thing. So many people ended up getting stuck with them, and I would watch the prices go down and down and down as they got desperate to unload the crap they hoarded.

That scalpers getting off easy compared to the ones stuck with the BB-8s, you can find these everywhere (150 free expedited ship on bestbuy, 149 on Apple free ship, as low as 139 bin on Ebay)

Seems like a fair price. The butt filled ashtray in the first picture is an especially nice touch.

That's his way of telling us that if you want to buy these from a smoke-free home look elsewhere.
Another in the "it's vintage, it must be worth a gold mine" collection:

Time to share a recent exchange with a seller on good ol' Craig's list. The seller has an add posted with 13 images, which I'll post the link below. But to save time, I sent him a message about the stuff in these two pics.
He replied with a total of $350.00 for the weapons lot and parts box. :wtf:? He also said that the Leia blaster and one Imperial blaster were gone.
Am I THAT out of touch with vintage prices? I have yet to reply, and can't honestly see myself doing so. Here's the link to the listing.... The strangest item is what appears to be a custom TIE Bomber. Which looks pretty cool, but I'm sure he will want almost as much for that as he does for what I asked him about.
