I agree too! That feeling when the $10 was there was so rewarding.

[@kyledankhoff8684]

One of my favorite parts about the series was the amount of sketch deals you were willing to go to for the collection - The random gas station guy with a stack of loose disk games, and driving off grid to the set of Deliverance for bags of smoked out games and consoles that looked like they’ve been through Mordor. 👏 Love the dedication man!

[@ky-gp4sz]

Don’t forget going through the bank drive through and asking for a game.

[@GusC672]

My favorite thing about this channel is specifically how I too can save money with patience, 10 dollars, and the hunt. The Hunt is such a wholesome feeling. I appreciate the videos. Thanks

[@renezamarripa5072]

Even if you stop the $10 collection series, continue the game hunting because that's the best part of the series is when you find the games.

[@josephbaker4958]

I like episode 23 because It was the first video I watched. After watching It I watch whole ten dollar episode series. To be caught up. Also It was really great to watch your journey and your progress.

[@megarickyh]

Favorite part of the series is showing us how much Spice Girls DVD is worth.

[@TheFirefatboy]

Favorite episode was the one where you found the deal with all of the dirty “junk” consoles you had to clean. My wife and I were awestruck at how some of those consoles got that dirty! (Surprised that one of those PS2s worked) Also, the dirty backpack full of gems! It’s fun watching you bring those neglected retro goodies back to life!

[@Jenger420]

Retro! You and your $10 challenge is the reason I got back into collecting! My father passed away shortly after you first started posting the $10 challenge videos. I remember the days he would come home with a new game for the snes or 64 and I wanted to relive those memories. Now I have a huge collection, part time reseller on ebay. Thank you for bringing this joy back into my life man! Keep on, keepin on! A+ content ALWAYS!

[@alexandreapereira414]

“Free from game stop” is by far my favorite episode... stumbled across that one and had to go back to start from the beginning- binge watched in 72hrs! Amazing series and can’t wait to attempt this starting my first day off this Tuesday!

[@retrorick]

That’s amazing Alexandrea! So glad you are enjoying it

[@omagonzalez2]

My favorite part of the series is learning about DVD's that have value as well as finding out that NCAA 2011 on PS2 is worth something.

[@Skylar_Ford]

I found you through the "Nintendo Collecting" channel and I've binged watched the entire series. My favorite episode was when you got the shady backpack deal with the n64 games and you said Diddy Kong Racing cartridge and you said it was one of your favorites cuz thats my favorite game. I've watched you grow from like 30k to 45k and I wait every monday and thursday for episodes, keep up the good work!!

[@retrobear9367]

I like the one where you found the DS and took it back into the store. That was awesome. The world needs more honesty. I would love an N64 in my collection. Not sure why I don't have one.

[@Trackgirl1512]

My husband and I have binge watched all of your $10 game collection videos, and you have inspired us to start our game collection as well!

[@titansrule72]

This popped up in my video feed one day and after 10 min I was hooked. I went back from the beginning of the series and binge watched here and there for a few weeks. My favorite part of the series was how much work Rick put in because it is something he loves to do. You really see this in the content as it is always entertaining. This is one of my favorite things I've ever watched on YT. As an 80s kid, nostalgic content like Retro Rick provides really hits home of how awesome it was to be a kid during those days. Keep up the great work and I can't wait for series 2.

[@paceeilers2253]

To be honest I loved the whole series. You helped me expand my collection. You inspired me, thanks.

[@blcjackal6251]

I’m a fan of the awkward “don’t reach past me” guy episode.

My favorite part is how you always teased selling twilight princess when funds were low, and I’d always yell “no don’t do it Rick!”

[@jocelynembert1719]

Omg, I only found this channel a couple weeks ago and I'm hooked! My favorite series on youtube! Showing all my friends and helping my husband find more games for his collection now.

[@ebertcombs6610]

My favorite thing about this 10$ game collection is that it got me back into collecting,and most of all playing games! I was born in 81 and it has just made me be like oh yeah I remember that! Sweet man , keep it up!

[@wlbatch]

My favorite moment was the guy who found some loose game disks at a gas station and sold them to you for like $10. 😂

[@RickRickiGames]

My new favorite has to be the.. “are you recording?” And dropping the money 😂😂😂

[@Lewcifer586]

My favorite part of the series is any episode i hear your son in the background. Knowing you bring your kid along and immerse him in retro is fantastic. I do this with my kids and its how we connect as people together not just parent and child. We love finding old stuff cheap. I actually found a CIB Bubsy for sega genesis for 10$ a week ago. My kids are still enjoying playing it.

[@dv9swank914]

Rick your videos bring happiness to me, whenever I get off a stressful day of work I browse KZbin and when I see one of your videos i watch the whole thing. Thanks for making these videos!

[@JosephFrietze]

So many good bits over the year. Showing the GameStop strategies, flipping DVDs from Goodwill to eBay, but probably the best parts were the Facebook marketplace deals when you wound up talking to the people about their love of games too. Thanks for the entertainment, Rick.

[@jkemp6791]

My problem in calling it a $10 game collection or “free” is it discounts the hundreds and thousands of man hours it takes to game hunt, buy lots and resell. That would be like me saying I got my yearly salary at work for free because all it cost me was time.

[@jkemp6791]

Oh! And the fact that a guy was able to quit his job to resell games essentially proves my point. You can build up a game collection this way for sure, but be prepared to put in the hours of a part time or full time job. To be clear, I have no problem with this. But to call your game collection “free” is like me calling my house free. You exchange time for money and then buy what you want. Exactly like every job ever. Lol

The craziest part in the series is the fact your Goodwill stores are still selling games for $2. In 2021 that is amazing. But my favorite part of this series is watching you genuinely get excited when game hunting. That’s what collecting is all about and I love watching collectors being happy doing what they love. From one collector to another, keep up the great work!

[@TheSkywalker72]

Great episode as always. My favorite thing about your channel is the education I get about your tips and tricks. I`m an older game collector that just recently began collecting games from my childhood. I watch your channel every Sunday and believe me it helps with the next weeks hunt!

[@stephenwalker3794]

I found your channel in November 2020 and it's one of very few that I subscribe to. You have inspired me to start reselling and I hit the jackpot at my first yard sale where I picked up a Xbox 360 slim with 3 controllers and 7 games all for $40.00 but to my surprise the bonus game that was in the console was NCAA FOOTBALL 14 !!! What a way to get started. Thanks for your channel!!!

That’s amazing Stephen, thanks for the support! And killer find!!!

[@christopherwroten6626]

My son and I have enjoyed the entire series. He's only 6 months old and he loves "dancing" to your intro. I've spent many nights and early mornings holding my son and catching up on all your videos. Also hopefully you've sold all those NCAA games because the price is about drop on them with the news today. Keep the videos coming!!!

[@samtendonation6549]

Just so you know Rick I paid for all of my families Christmas presents via learning from you! Plus I’ve been able to collect around 50 games and 10 consoles since the November! Thank you so much man! Love your vibe and love that you created this valuable content! My favorite pick up was your shady Nintendo 64 deal lol

I can’t believe it’s been a year Rick. I can remember joining into this channel when you had 6,500 subscribers and been super impressed with the context. Someone else who loves the same stuff as me. Been a journey and awesome to watch the change in the $10 collection.

[@robk7815]

My favorite episode has to be the first one, having to make decisions over a $1 game because money was so tight. Seeing how far you've come in a year, wow. A full N64 collection - do it :)

[@foa19xx]

I’ve just binged this series for the last 5 days or so, and I love it. Thought this was the last episode. Tip for season 2: try starting with nothing? Seriously, just go around the city or something, looking for free or lost stuff, anything, then flip it for something, and go from there. I’m a collector too by the way, so I knew most of your tips, and if I didn’t, I always saw logic in them straight away, so we must surely have the same mindset when it comes to collecting. Sometimes you have to be smart, sometimes you have to be sneaky, but always stay honest and humble. You have a new subscriber. Keep it up.

Reminds me a lot of myself. That entertainer personality. You show off not to brag, but to see the enjoyment and wonder people have. It's why I make videos and it's what I'd love to be able to do.

[@joedoney2927]

this recap was the second video of yours I watched. One week later, I've watched the entire $10 challenge series. The Saturn pickup is probably the most nostalgic for me as an original owner. Have already started putting your tips to work. Many thanks.

[@TheKnotts345]

As a Goodwill employee, I always like seeing what other Goodwill's get in when it comes to video games. You've found some amazing things!

[@miggle]

I can't think of a specific episode, but what I do know is that this series is what made me start getting out there and looking through my local thrift stores, Goodwills, and online stuff like Offerup and Marketplace. Thanks for the months of great content, Rick. Great stuff 🙌

I don't have a favorite per say, but enjoyed watching the series altogether since it gives me hope that I can build a lot of what I used to own as a child and lost for one reason or another. Great series, I hope it brings the same amount of nostalgia and hope to others as it does for me.

It makes for good stories and memories. Yes, it takes time to clean them and you don’t know what you’re going to get. Good job, Rick! I really enjoy jour channel.

[@davidrobinson9679]

what I love most is not a specific episode but your dedication to that serie. the biggest surprise for me is to see how this wouldn't be possible without your knowledge of the value in certain DVDs, which seemed worthless to me. I don't think the collection would be what it is without you Dvd value and resale expertise! getting to that point through other means than just video games buy/resale is a very cool aspect, and your transparency about it too!

My favorite part was in the first episode when you gave a description of what you wanted in the collection. I just thought it was really funny that you were so specific about what you wanted the collection to be like, but it ended up being way bigger and way different that what you set us up to expect. Definitely made this episode way more interesting than it already was.

I live in Sweden and I’m trying this right now. Some challenges I’ve faced is the amount of retro game enthusiasts also looking for games at flea markets, goodwill stores and swap meets. Also, online, the Swedish market is not really on par with value on games. My best takeaway is from a swap meet. Got 2 guitar hero dongles for about 5 dollars and sold for 20 online. Thanks for the series! A lot of great inspiration and really useful knowledge! 👍🏻
