    The 360 and PS3 are for all ages, with a wide selection of games for all ages and tastes.
    They probably represent the consoles with the widest possible demographic.
    To suggest they are for adults is simply wrong.
    Yes, there are games for adults on the same shelves as the games for kids and some may see this as a problem.
    Having parents, ignorant of game content, allowing their kids to buy unsuitable software is the parents fault exclusively.
    To suggest that either device is simply for adults is like saying the DVD player is just for grown ups, it's just not true.
    And if you think the WiiU is a safe space for unsupervised kids, make sure they don't buy a copy of ZombiU or a Wii copy of Resident Evil.

    Mario and Yoshi, a game which usually sells for between €15 and €20 on ebay, I put in a fair offer of €20 only to have my offer deleted and I've also been prohibited from posting any further offers on the sellers ad. Not 10 minutes after my message was deleted a new buyer made an exorbitant offer which (and I could be mistaken) to me looks like a blatant shill.

    Really irks me to see this carry on take place between the less genuine of retro collectors.

    I think I posted this ad a few weeks back. Absolute joke. I have that cib and I think I paid ten euro for it. The problem here is other people see these stupid ads and think hang on, I have some nes games, ill put them up for the same price, then the overall price of nes games on adverts is crazy. The admins on there don't care posts are deleted, the site is a joke. You should be allowed put these idiots straight on their price.

    I would be fairly sure that the person who placed the bid is the same person who placed the ad. To be honest that seller seems to live on Adverts low balling ads left right and centre.As someone here said before there are no rules on Adverts and it's as simple as that. They appear to have rules that you only have to follow when you want to. Just to clear up any doubt about the SNES:rolleyes:

    Monkeykube, post a link to your post here in the Talk to Adverts section. The very least that they should do is action the user for this I think. It's exactly the type of behavior that gives Adverts a bad name.

    Thanks to monkeycube's sterling investigative efforts, I've reported Flexymoon in the Talk to Adverts forum... yes that does make me a squealer, or tattle-tail if you prefer but chancers like him really annoy me.

    Well, the price is purely aspirational, if someone wants to make an offer I'll consider it.

    One would imagine that a quick trip to IKEA would have given him a better table to butcher.
    Despite what holy books and sacred texts would tell you, some people are irredeemable, there's no coming back from doing that to a cocktail cabinet.
    It'd be like buying a charcoal sketch by Dali and colouring it in, with crayon, and not staying inside the lines.

    Careful lads, some of this talk, while appropriate, might be considered bullying.
    The guy has not been found guilty of anything yet, certainly the mods on Adverts haven't seen fit to ban him for what would , if true, have certainly earned a ban here.

    Guy on Adverts went out and bought 3 PS4s yesterday and is now trying to shift them for 450 each.
    Given that Power City seems to be awash with them and that some have sold on Adverts for less than 400 I hope he gets what he deserves.
    Oh, and after posting similar on his as I got a pm from him about it.
    Should I report?

    They will just tell you that the seller can choose whatever price point they want, it's the buyers choice if they want to pay it or not.
