They bought the cases, labels, and boards to put the games on, but if you do that in bulk supply it ends up being cheaper. That being said, these aren't worth more than $25. $60 is absolutely insane, as most commenters have already made mention of.

this market def gonna burst one day, but man these videos about this industry is interesting.

So is this just resellers selling to other resellers? Are any actual gamers buying this stuff?

Crazy cards more value than games

Super insightful. I wish the business good luck through the decades!

That box of trash thing was a fun prank

8:38 sounds like caylus

I would rather be content with a life full of memories than sacrifice years for convenient later.

They look cool but I can’t bring myself to collect repros or fan made games (authentic products only) so I’d rather just play them all on my Everdrives.

Cried when I saw the Littlest Pet Shop game in there

Real gamer... K lmao

75k per year profit may not be the greatest, but a lot of people make that or less selling their souls to an employer and job they don't even like. I have a lot of respect for someone who can make that in profit working for themselves. It may be more work, but the feeling of independence is hard to beat. Plus, that's just a single snapshot in time. That amount could grow over time and this video proves how it's possible. We need more men to look up to like this.

Saying that with a 151 UPC behind him? Painful

Wondering if he could for some away to some needy kids?

I remember that guy.

Back when phoenix resale actually released decent content

This guy is so genuine and so nice, how are there any haters... Wishing him all the luck to him

i went to a flea market last year and the guy let me go through a huge bag of ds games. they were literally THE worst ds games. i found games i didnt even know existed. but still cool!

Not sure why he doesn't keep diversified but wish him luck

Whatever pays the bills

Mark! Youre awesome! Ignore the haters, theyre not doing better than you 😉

I'm glad you're making a living.

No

I would of thought it would of been GameStop or something

Pokemon gold brand new GBC Market : $850 Quick flips : $109 I don't know why you would sell you quick flips. I would rather list it on ebay and get more. Posting and shipping things is worth the extra $700+ Maybe I'm missing something but that is not a good sale.

Don't get rid of games altogether, please 🙏 just keep bangers and rare finds!

Oh yeah I definitely would of got one or two of these

BRAIN AGE IS THE GOAT

He's quitting because you're buying his inventory to re-sell on Ebay for double the price, PR you're a big problem for videogames collecting with your nasty business practices.

Im sure he is, but I hope hes not going around and buying up stock from big box stores to resell in his store at a higher price

Holy crap, 38!!! I thought he was like 50 something 😂, keep up the good work.

dkoldies will say that these are overpriced 🤣

To have the business sense to pivot when you see an opportunity is so key, well played man and sod the haters. Having a hobby and running a business are two very different things, and it's bloody hard work. If I was in the US I'd be in your shop yesterday!

Methylated spirits.

All the people being rude in comments need to stop. You have to remember that being fat, bald and financially crippling your family is enough stress in itself so please only say the opposite of what the reality is.

A 3:01

1) Retro, and maybe slightly rare, games. 2) OBVIOUSLY Pirated with those 3D Printed cases, especially with at least half your stock being clear plastic. Like I don't mind paying for somebody doing the work of putting it to board and in a case for me, but $40 or more? You're off your rocker, buddy.

Don't worry about what negative people online say, they are just so miserable and have to try to bring others down. Eventually you will learn to laugh about it and fully appreciate that we don't have to be like them, imagine going on youtube and having to post things like that to feel better about yourself that's wild. With the economy the way it is many are stressed and feeling the pressure, go ahead and leave us a negative comment so we can see who you are ha.

The Pokemon World is the greatest work of fiction mankind has ever made. It use to be arguably "Middle Earth" but its not even close now. What an an masterpiece Japan created.

This man is two or three bad pokemon set releases away from bad times.

I dabble in stereo repair and flipping desired vintage stereo. Mostly use it for funding my hobby of collecting and upgrading stereo that i have. I do have a nice basement that I COULD use to make it a business. However, I really do not believe my spare time flipping and repairing stereo could bring in as much money as renting it out. So it will stay rented out unless I could use them to make much more than rent. (Don't see how I'll do that with a normal 9 to 5 job) And recently i saw someone selling a pair of amplifiers at a price i couldn't refuse. Went there, paid cash, and got the stuff home. Was testing the much higher end one of the two amps, and it wiped the floor with my previous pride and joy power amp. Well I guess my stock of available amps for sale just grew by 3 to 4 amps now.

Oh i thought you were looking for a hidden gem, not a game to flip. Kinda boring you don't play them

The level of blind optimism to switch to pokemon while also knowing its a bubble, makes me know this is a terrible idea.

What makes Pokemon cards so lucrative now? Scalpers took the fun out of the hobby so Idk.

Amazing interview! Wish I still lived in Louisville.

I would pay, yes. But that would be very, very silly. I do not have a Super Nintendo.

Damn! This guy by far has one of the best toy stores I've ever seen. Our local toy store always just has the same toys bc they wont buy new products cause they wont spit a little money out for it. This guy has a different mindset on reselling discontinued or vintage toys. Very nice!

Hate is toxic

It’s NICE to be IMPORTANT, But it’s also IMPORTANT to be NICE !!!!

So theyre selling other peoples novels to the public cause they are public domain and not paying the authors trust royalties ? Shadey and unethical... And everyone gets mad at china for breaking copywrite laws lol .
