Craigslist Adds Video Gaming For Sale Category

I'm not when Craigslist began rolling this out, but many are reporting that their local version of the online classifieds network has given "Video Gaming" its own category on the site's "For Sale" section.

Previously, users hoping to unload their crusty copies of M&Ms: Shell Shocked or find a deal on somebody's bedazzled Nintendo DS were forced to browse through the "Toys & Games" category. I suppose Craigslist's administrators decided that the amount of game activity in that broad department warranted its own separate category.

If your city's game sellers are anything like those in Cincinnati (my stomping grounds), though, they haven't noticed the category and are still listing their games in the more familiar "Toys & Games" area, mixing Mario Power Tennis listings with cornhole offers.
