Chase Doesn't Care About His Fans

[@ophidianmind333]

Chase doesn't seem to do much of any of the actual work in his videos, he leaves that up to his goons, and then he shows up later to take credit for everything. Maybe that means he is actually trying to act like a real CEO. 😆I noticed in that recent video that they found a treasure trove of SNES games and they got really excited every time they found an Atlus release because they could sell it for a lot. As someone who is a huge fan of Atlus as a developer and a publisher, I found that a bit discouraging because they just see their games as dollar signs and people like that will just make it more difficult for me to collect their games. If there would be any complete collection I would go for, it would be for Atlus releases and people like Chase and his gang of brown-nosing dorks will just make it more expensive for someone like me to own and enjoy all of those games.

[@steviefreakinc]

Yeah dude I’m right there with ya. Their average viewer probably doesn’t realize their excitement is because of the profits they foresee. So to the viewer they get hyped for the game because he thinks they’re hyped for the game. It’s a parlor trick.

[@indy5280]

That also is the reason I’m not successful as a reseller. I keep all the good stuff or stuff I know I will enjoy. I printed a repro manual for my copy of Pokémon colosseum as i don’t feel like buying a whole new copy for just the manual

The funny thing is that typically the more copies of the same item that are sold, the lower the collector value since it’s not as rare. This video game price insanity was started by wata on pawn stars a few years ago.

I feel like we jumped to a timeline where people are more crazy.

[@Emceemur]

The bidding scenario you described is definitely accurate and one you gotta be careful of. I've slid that yellow bar to bid $8 before and looked down and I'd bid $19 and was winning lol. Luckily I was fine paying that for the item in question but on a $450 item that would be a butthole clencher....

[@steviefreakinc]

Yeah that’s why I’ve found it to be a good policy to stay off of Whatnot. Besides, I don’t like bidding on eBay auctions with 3 watchers, who would ever want to compete with 200+ people for one thing lol

I can see local game stores selling box, manual, case and cover art separately in fact Gaming Gators does this (they go by price charting) but it’s smart from a small business perspective

A store I reckon would need to nickel and dime everything because of rent and other costs that come with running a business so I don't judge a store for that nearly as much.

Just stupid. They either get caught up in the bidding hype or theyre legitimate weirdos who just want it because "It was Chase's"/"I got it from catrp". "They held it with their weird sweaty nerd hands"🤦.

This is what I mean by “there is so much product out there, but resellers are inflating these prices.” I bought a CIB copy of Soul Silver for $180 at a local game store. Meanwhile I’ve seen it go loose for over $200 in various resellers or Amazon. Let alone a CIB going for $300.

[@steviefreakinc]

$180 for CIB, wow man you are blessed lol great deal

[@defectivesupport6875]

My biggest problem with chase isn't even lowballing garage sales or Fomo whatnots - its their huge commitment to selling RETRO games and systems...but REPAIRING them with xyab knockoff parts and selling them as if they were OEM. Selling consoles with cables, back cases, springs, joysticks, new chips, or compartments (and these aren't even OEM replacements) is not good condition - this means they are refurbished. Never any mention of this for anything they sell. They always just shrug it off in videos.

[@steviefreakinc]

They also use the term "minty" like it's a legitimate description of condition.

[@ophidianmind333]

I agree, games are meant to be played and for every sealed copy of a game out there means there is one less opportunity for someone to play it. Retro games are a finite resource because there won't be an official reprinting of them and physical media will eventually degrade and die. So games that are sitting there sealed will never have lived to serve their purpose and are just slowly dying without anyone enjoying them in the way they were intended to be. All the monetary value of a game on a collector market means to me is the size of the obstacle for me to obtain it. I don't want to collect things because of their going price or rarity, I want to collect things that I will enjoy and that I can interact with to get to experience them in a way that brings happiness into my life.

[@steviefreakinc]

It’s wasteful. Cases are made for shelves. Games are made for playing

I watched a WhatNot auction the other day from this guy “TheConnecticutPicker” and he was freaking out and getting mad at the 50 people watching his stream for not bidding them items up to “market value”. These people are so ungrateful and delusional. People like Chase and the Connecticut Picker guy buy out collections and then sell them to their mentally sick “fans” on WhatNot for more then market value. They no longer have to wait the time for stuff to sell on eBay. WhatNot is the worst thing in the collecting community.

Sounds kind of like you don’t really like the collectors either. I guess you can try and equate what they are doing to the gambling industry but auctions have been happening for a very long time. Nobody needs this shit. It’s not bread.

[@steviefreakinc]

I like collectors I just think it's a really dumb way to obtain stuff. Here's one manual for sale and 271 people fighting for it. I know I wouldn't go stand in line at the gas station for something if there were 270 other people there lol

[@rickodemilo]

@@steviefreakinc man! That’s collectors! I resell (full time) but I am a pretty legit collector as well. I bought my friend’s cib Virtual Boy for $1000 a while back. After the buying high ended all I was left with was one of the absolute worst consoles of all time. I will die on a hill for Virtual Boy Wario Land though (but you can even emulate that on the 3DS now). Collectors want that clout and they need that dopamine kick. Go out and search for it is my advice. Beat resellers at their own game. I find games at yard sales late in the day all the time.

[@ibapreppie]

Wow, I just saw Pokemon Fire Red CIB for 250 at my local game shop lol. What a rip-off. These guys want 320 for just the cardboard and manual? GTFO of here LOL

It’s funny watching people blow money on whatnot when you can easily get the same on eBay or LGS for cheaper 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ve been collecting cib snes recently I just don’t understand overpaying for items from a U tuber 🤣

Yeah seriously. You can probably get Emerald CIB on Ebay for $450 if you sent offers.

Do You say “what up peeps” ironically because you haven’t shat on Siccooper or double jump video games yet? Big time video game resellers on KZbin that literally start their videos off like you do sooo

[@steviefreakinc]

Naaaah this has been asked before. I took “What up Peeps” from comedian Tony Baker’s KZbin videos.

[@Thectpicker]

Damn man, I liked that roasting video the other day with the guy going to Gamestop but here there are zero valid points. Caring about what another man spends his money on come on, Steve. Clearly, you don't understand how Whatnot works either anyone who has used the app at all will agree. I started on Whatnot with zero following and had success. Many people buying on his Whatnot aren't fans of his KZbin channel they're just people on the app shopping. " he's not even there during the stream" he created a real business with employees he's entitled to the benefits of that.

[@steviefreakinc]

I've seen screenshots of people selling the stuff they bought from him for $500 so you're partially right about people not necessarily being his fans attending his auctions. But they could also be fans/subscribers that use him just like he uses his fans.

[@begpard]

Its crazy to me that chase has fans..he does nothing of substance

[@steviefreakinc]

I wish I could say his audience was other resellers but judging by the few 100 that showed up to spend thousands with him I reckon he really has pandered his way to a profitable little crowd

@@steviefreakinc It’s literally the same thing any resellers do. He’s found a way to be profitable using the knowledge he has. I’m not sure why you’d be hating on him for that, he’s not forcing people to be dumb and buy his stuff off whatnot. That’s solely on them. If you should be mad at anyone doing any reselling it should be big pharma. They’re there only ones actually hurting people due to greed. Getting a premium out of old games isn’t hurting a soul.

[@steviefreakinc]

@@Anticidal25901 that’s not necessarily true. What about the real estate industry? They’re also a huge mess. The point is this, retro gaming and gaming is my passion. Therefore, I focus on game resellers because they hurt gamers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m about tired of talking about resellers so I’ll be laying off for a while. But whether people realize it or not, he’s taking advantage of them and that’s what I intend to show them.

[@SarcasticPoet]

Where were ya'll at in the beginning? Nobody cared when he was on his way up. His goons? or his employees and friends! The point is to sell and make money, stop hating things that don't matter. People are so quick to reduce a person down to their income and it's pathetic!

[@steviefreakinc]

The biggest gripe I had in this video was his absence and how he enables his fans to fight over limited stock. Which he ultimately profits more off of than normal. Not necessarily about his profits total. It's just a shady business practice and I can't get down with that.

I have never spent more than $100 on one Pokemon card in particular. Those are also trading cards. Their purpose is to collect. The booster pack wrapping they came in was thrown away.

I agree with the entire concept. People just overpay so unbelievably. I buy frequently on whatnot but never from Chase. I always see when they’re on, but I refuse to overpay. Definitely hit a few killer deals on there but it takes patience. Just like garage sales or any other ways to find games at a good value.

You basically have to wait for the thing that no one cares for anymore to pop up. Or something that's more common
