    Video game player – $2

    Play video games on your tv with this joystick. Pacman etc Old School games
    asking $2.00, gently used
    exact cash please

    I’m tempted to buy this and give them exactly $2.00, but in unwrapped pennies.

    This was listed under “baby & kid stuff” … because there’s nothing better for your baby than video games from the 1980s. I mean, let’s be honest … for a child of the ’00s who has been brought up on Grand Theft Auto and other games, Pac-Man isn’t exactly going to be the most exciting game for them. It’s more likely to appeal to an old geezer like me. Sigh.

    2 Costume Characters (professional) “Garfield” and Teddy Bear – $600

    2 Costume Characters for sale. One is “Garfield” and one is a “Teddy Bear”. These are professional quality and you can make some REALLY GOOD MONEY with these either renting them out or booking party’s. I’m looking for::: first of all a really nice TV(a must) AND AND AND XBOX 360 OR OR OR A PS3 WITH WITH WITH some good games OR $600.00.

    If you can make such good money with these costumes, why doesn’t this guy already have a nice TV and a video game system?

    Oh right, because those are the WORST costumes imaginable. If someone wore that to a kiddie party I was at, I would pay them to leave.

    Although the “teddy bear” flipping the bird in the photo is a nice touch. Kids must love that.
