The Reality of Selling HUGE Video Game Collections

[@dandehaan]

My son turns 8 in December and has asked that his party be CATRP themed. You guys are officially cool.🎉

[@yenterpriseonebay]

I do enjoy these videos of how the business is progressing as opposed to unboxing collections. Looks like you are busy.

[@Vigaman]

This is Uy, thank you so much for showing off my collection and for buying it! Hope to deal with you again.😊

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

Why did you sale your collection for 40%?

[@Vigaman]

@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012It’s not quite 40%, higher than that but I was happy for the amount I was offered for my collection (which is only a small fraction, I got more I might sell including more rare games) plus I am a fan of the channel and what these guys do. So it was worth it to me.

@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012it’s not quite 40%, higher than that but I was happy for the amount I was offered for my collection, which is only a small fraction, I still got more including rare CIB GBA games that I might sell, the CIB Boktai 2 you saw here was a sneak peak. Plus I am a fan of these guys and what they do. So it was worth it to me.

[@RyanHarris-gb4ny]

You got ripped off

[@Vigaman]

It’s actually not 40%, I got close to 60% but regardless it’s only a small part of my collection, I got more rare games that I can sell. Plus I am a fan of what these guys do, so it was worth it regardless.

[@DArchAngel69]

I agree with the disc resurfacer. The auto smart is just so much better than the rest. Totally worth the money.

[@sirisaacsmith9513]

Can you do a video on how you find collections? The active outbound side of generating leads and the passive lead gen side?

[@realwildgoods]

Regarding soundproofing the disc cleaners, have you considered just moving them outside into the shed?

[@RetroEli82]

Another super cool video in the books, way to go CATRP Crew 👍🏽😎👍🏽🕹️🎮

[@Better_Than_CeX]

shout out to Al Pal for emailing me back today 😁👍🏻 looking forward to finding some of them titles and shipping them across the pond!

[@damienhawthorne8864]

I picked up a VMI3500 for $150 on offerup. It's an older model, but no real supplies needed. It's been awesome.

[@ayeelmao8108]

Iv been binge watching all your videos!

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

You must be bored or have a lot of time on your hands.

[@ayeelmao8108]

@@LeadMe2TheBliss you sound ignorant, I work full time I enjoy watching them after work.

[@MrBooyahmofo]

So i had the eco pro 2 and just got a venmill 2.0 hybrid. Both are in the same price range. the Venmill is wayyyyyy better. Highly recommend it.

[@ZEROCOOLLTV]

As I am watching this, I am in a CA heatwave, its currently 101 at 5p, in other words, no sympathy.

[@nickpapagiorgio2253]

I went from a JFJ (trash machine in my opinion) to a Eco Pro 2 and finally to a Autosmart. Ive been helping people out resurfacing their discs for $1.50 per disc

[@orgoremedia]

I was thinking about starting off with the JFJ, everything I’ve seen looks like its good for basic resurfacing, and not having to deal with hundreds or thousands of dics, why is it a trash machine in your opinion? Should I just save up for something better? I have no plans in the next while to go full time selling games, but kinda on the side as a hobby/side income.

[@nickpapagiorgio2253]

@orgoremedia it bricks alot of discs. It's super messy and just doesn't do a hood overall job. I'd honestly save up and get an eco pro 2

[@bramcc]

How do you advertise your service? I have an Elm machine but am still a small operation. I'm reluctant to offer resurfacing as a service on marketplace or something like that. I feel like it kinda gives me a secret advantage in a way. At least in my area (rural).

[@Thectpicker]

hey, I am the one who offers the cleaning service to discord members. $2 per disc. I use the same machine as you guys the eco master!

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Keep geeking out. Stay safe.

[@MrBadavidson9]

It’s the Eminem jay z dj hero so that’s the most valuable one I think, easiest sell

[@johncarls1]

Really been enjoying for some time. I am a collector and have a small ebay store. I am intrigued by the lots you were discussing at the end. Where do you sell those? Whatnot or should I subscribe to the discord? Thanks and keep up the awesome work! Seeing some of these collections has been really really cool!

[@paulwignell9733]

Jeez you need to expand the barn, I see a games shop in your future... you could sell all that miscellaneous stuff in there and the lower priced games... you would clean up guys

[@BroerenGames]

Too bad you all dont have a seperate small space for the disc cleaning machine, I doubt making some kind of soundproof wall that you can just put over it is very effecient..

[@prettysweet5033]

Alpal looks like he ate one of my brownies 😂

[@bramcc]

Sega GT / JSRF combo for OG Xbox

[@JohnSmith-yr8sd]

Where do I go to see what you’re selling?

[@rydamusprime]

Need to seel it all off do you can move those shelves and free up the epic CATRP wall

[@Britt_Brott]

Would you guys ever think about selling on your own web site? Seems like you are at a point viewer wise where you could sustain your own site. I would love to buy some games from you guys directly but don’t want to get addicted to what not lol. I am a software engineer so I am always pushing for owning your own platform but would love to know your guys thought on this in general from a business owners perspective.

[@catrpcrew]

We aren't opposed, but at this time we don't think it would produce the best results compared to what we are currently doing.

[@AndrewBoersma]

The platforms they currently have/use are very high end top dollar amounts compared to eBay. If they had their own site, it wouldn't create the urgency/fomo etc

[@DarkPlatin]

What happened to the guy you postponed his question in a recent video? Who ever that guy is and whereever he is, I am sure he is doing great, maybe just a bit sad it never got answered ;)

[@akahee22]

Definitely working up towards and elm but if you have a nice method a jfj isn't bad but yes time consuming

[@MrJohnSmalley]

Was that a joke about you passing out during the Sega whatnot show and selling the Super Smash Bros for the Gamecube? If you are serious and this is a frequent issue, I would recommend seeing if you have Sleep Apnea. It can be a serious medical condition if left untreated.

[@emilykoi3111]

I'm hoping to find Avatar the Last Airbender Gameboy CIB. Maybe someday you'll get that in 😊

[@Matt.P.]

Funniest ending I ever saw!

[@BearsBack2Back]

How do i send something in from the buy list?

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Hi!!

[@adammartin142]

You may be able to sell all the NES Foam to XYAB. Or work a credit deal with them.

[@MR.GameReview247]

[@CRASHZERO411]

how do y’all afford all of these games ?

Many years of hard work growing at the speed of cash!
