What a seller pays is their business. Reselling? Well how we roll is passing on a good deal and being very aware of "collector karma" ie If you find a $300 figure for $10- don't try to get the $300- sell it for $200-240 . Huge profit . The people who say "why won't you just sell it for $10 and double your $?" = Jealous/frustrated/broke/crybabies

You can tell this guy probably has enough stuff stashed at home he could pack that place to the ceiling but he hasn't. It looks like a well rounded clean set of gems. I like that over flea market guys that have 50 copies of WCW NWO Revenge for the N64 .

Sprooch/Justin is back on the hunt

There used to be a Kmart in that plaza!

Thanks for sharing 👍

This store is much nicer than I’m used to lol.

I played, but I didn't win?

Sprooch pickup time keep getting those games the never ending story

2:00 Mr. 80s booth?! You in Massachusetts?

Game hunting time with Sprooch

Almost all goods sold involves reselling. Even the homes we live in were or will be resold at some point lol. Its just a fake moral high ground people choose to take.

1:50 Thanks for showcasing my booth bro. I really appreciate that! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you, good sir.

I think a few people reported you for tax evasion from Phoenix Resale's video - better get your year end reciepts in order and maybe generate some for the last few years!

Resellers and KZbin have definitely ruined a hobby that some of us have been involved in for decades. I get that people who collect buy large lots and keep what they want then sell the rest. We all do it. But people who's only goal is to beat out collectors at yard sale and flea markets to resell are the problem. That's why I got out of collecting retro. Lost count of the amount of yard sales I've been to where known resellers show up two hours to a yard sale to beat other people out so they can make a profit. Just like seekonk can't count the times waiting in line to go into to have someone at the back of the line run past you to get to a table, just to resell with what their buying. Just like in my gamestop dumpster diving days did that for years, hitting up sometimes 7 gamestop in a night. As soon as people staring making videos on it that was the end of that.. Those people didn't collect anything they just wanted to grab stuff out of the dumpster to sell back to a different gamestop.

I think the “scumbag” part is buying stuff to resell instead of letting others buy who really wants it. But if I don’t buy a $50 game for $5 at a sale or store, the next person who comes along will. So might as well be the scumbag.

Scumbag reseller is the guy that buys a 30th anniversary ps5 pro limited edition console to resell for 3 times retail

I’ve bought from you many ties in the past and from Chase and the crew. Most of my close friends in this community are resellers and even have game stores. So if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t have most of the stuff I do unless I had all day to do the leg work myself. Caleb is one I’d definitely like to sit down with and pick his brain cause I go back n forth about him, his persona seems real cool but somethings he talks about or does kind off confuses me

As someone who has purchased stuff from Sprooch, he ain't a filthy reseller. lol

The most common reason people hate resellers... "Jealous "

Being in this Business Personally for Years, and what I would say What constitutes a Scumbag Reseller is Someone who always Wants a Steal of a Deal (Super Cheap Offers)...To Never Returning the Favor when that Time Comes when the Role is Reversed. I have seen Guys Never giving a good price or Deal when buying Bulk from Them...but always expect a Bulk deal Price when they Buy. In Other words the Guys are Not Communal

Sprooch I’ve seen all from 1980-Now I have every console and tons of games that’s the name of the game buy low either to collect to save money or sell high to make money either way it all works out in life video games are meant to be played enjoyed sold and bought that’s life of gaming to me throughout the decades

Stuff out there an it needs found by someone 💪🚬🤠 im with you

Yes. Next question.

I'm just a teenage dirty bag baby

Reselling is one of the oldest professions. Many more people getting into than before but if it isn't illegal and it's what helps people pay their bills and keep them and their families fed then shame on people who believe you can't profit off things to support your family. It could be jealousy, but I find many people in certain hobbies (cards, toys, video games) absolutely oblivious on what goes to making a business and think we all operate for charity. Listen there is not a single one of us, buyer or seller, that needs toys, videos games or cards. So whether it's nostalgia or a new hobby we are providing something to our customers.

I don't see a problem with resellers. They find something they want to sell.. A person wants to buy said item. Pretty straightforward concept. Now here's what I hate. Those who complain about prices and items to the seller and not purchase anything. I work as a cashier at a profit thrift store - insert white and blue smile logo. It really bothers me when people come in and complain about pricing. If they don't like the price they don't have to be obnoxious about it.. Just move on. Nobody is forcing them to buy anything so the grief should be theirs alone. I've had 5 ulcer incidents this year over crummy customers. I feel they are worse than reselling. I mean I've never wanted to hit someone I bought from.

To the victor go the spoils. People who have problems with resellers are just secretly jealous that they're not the ones getting the good deals. Get up early, do the research, and go and get those deals. My all time best score was a yard sale GI Joe childhood collection. Mom was selling sons massive collection of joes, ended up I gave like 100 bucks for 4,000 worth of Joes. Obv. some rare ones and playsets etc. Why did she give me this great deal? Simple, she was selling the house and the stuff needed to go. I looked up the sold price of the house, it was 700K. So.. 4,000 bucks in toys isn't really relevant to her .People have their motivations and in the end, we're all doing what we need to do.

People who say they hate resellers are just kidding themselves. Buying low and selling high is the entire basis of sales. You buy a car from a reseller not the manufacturer, you buy your food from a reseller not the farmers, even are medicines are bought from a reseller, not the manufacturer. Ultimately it comes down to people are jealous.

Sprooch! been following you for years, thanks for uploading !

Been collecting video games since the mid 2000's. As much as I like vintage toys one hobby is enough for me. I'm reaching the end of collecting video games. I have all the retro games I want. The past 6 months I haven't been searching out new games. I have no desire to sell what I have. I'll pass it on when I die.

After reaching 5k games, decided about 2 years ago it was time to thin things out. Just got rid of the last of the NES, SNES games. Only keeping the home brews from pax. Got rid of all the PS1-2 last year as well as all the N64 games. Down to about 2k games. Goal is to get rid of all North American stuff only keeping Japanese and current Gen games.

Great to see you out hunting the wilds again!

It gets depressing when the season ends but makes the next season that much more exciting. Definitely will be looking for more toy shows.

I just pulled my G.I. Joe’s closet in 2024 and I put them on my shelf. I didn’t realize how happy I felt in so long by looking at them playing with them again some thing I lost over the years.

I have the same issues man. Boxes of stuff taking over the attic, basement, garage, office, spare bedroom, and even still in the in laws basement. It’s not a typical hoarder mess, but close enough I suppose. Time to let items go that you/I look at and just aren’t connected to anymore. Maybe some mega trades for things some of us move better or something.

Ngl it looks so bootleg 🤣

I started down the video collecting route collecting every game I could find bulk and more. When I started to get stacks of Wii fit and others it was time to narrow it down to going for my CIB n64 collection and silent hill collection ( again thankyou for the ps2 silent hill 4 at retrofest:))

It’s definitely up to the collector when it’s time to sell. Sometimes we have to sell just because of life “Bills, expenses, etc” I think I sell most things when the magic of that items experience has gone away.

Getting rid of it?? Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t.

I find a lot of guys start out as "just vintage"...That's harder to find, hard to afford, keeps you fairly limited. Ex: "I just collect vintage TMNT"...Then, they see some of the new retro-crapo out shopping for socks and say to themselves "Well, I like the sculpt on that retro Muck Man." and next thing you know, they're just sitting on piles. Stuff that's old, cool, and desirable alongside stuff that was on the mark down shelf at Target last weekend. My advice? If it's made before 2000, ship it. Keep just the old vintage in your PC. Sell ALL the new stuff, minus obviously pieces that are sentimental or gifts.

I just got rid of my vinyl collection because as much as I love to live that physical collector life, I just wasn't ever using them. In fact, I got rid of my whole music corner in my den, just gonna go digital with it and have more space for games lol.

The time has come! Finally! Proud of you

When the wife starts nagging then it's time.

Sprooch let’s go need more videos from you

I think we’ve had this conversation every time I see you, lol. My light when on when I realized I could fill my store 4 times over. My big purge is definitely on deck. Way too much stuff not doing anyone any good just sitting. Collecting money is a good hobby to transition to.

Good purge is always good my friend. If you get free time and want to get technical, I had a subscriber suggest doing a tier list. Do like HAVE TO KEEP, KIND OF KEEP, Ehhhh, and don't need. Anything in Ehh and Don't Need just get rid of of in King of Keep, weigh out if you really want it or not. Most my purging came down to whether or not I plan to play it, if I had a connection with it, or if I had a real reason for even owning it besides the "might play it some day" excuse. Great video dude.

OOOH....that Godmars though!

Sprooch getting those games the never ending story

I’ve never seen that many Shoguns in one place.

Sweet pea from Popeye was the doll but vita games was incredible
