My Best Yard Sale Find in 20 YEARS...?

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

Haters will say its fake

[@skylarwattie]

We aren't going talk about how we paid everyone in these videos $100k to help us stage a small internet video?

[@delta250a]

It happens, all my boxed n64 games in my collection came from a buy like this, mostly mint boxes even a near mint console box. Pokemon Stadium 2 mint box was my favourite out the lot though. All for £30.

[@TrumpisImmortal]

You know what they say. The more haters the bigger you are. You’ve got to be doing something right to have haters. Let them hate Homie. Haters are really just groupies. a person, especially a young woman, who regularly follows a pop music group or other celebrity in the hope of meeting or getting to know them. "he pulled a different groupie every night"😂😂

[@bazlhs649]

Lucky I not a hater then lol

[@dustinc6105]

We know it's all fake you pay to sit up all the yard sales to buy stuff. Then you never really sale anything it's all for the video. haha

[@smulligan]

Grant seems like a really good guy who just wants a friend to talk about his childhood games with. I love it

[@ceez3317]

Bro was yappin

[@AFJojo]

seemed mad cool

[@TimothySmiths]

I can understand this gentleman trying to get the price he had set in his mind, it is hard to let go of your past sometimes no matter the price, some prices make it easier though :)

[@billyzed4066]

"I was able to get some things for my kids" and he shows off the bolt cutters.... nice

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

😂😂 my son would probably really like those lol

[@TheJRPGeek]

[@macorourke2222]

Wow!!! Congratulations on Your amazing deal. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️

[@JohnnyGumbosky]

Once he kept mentioning eBay I knew you were going to have to pay up. At least he was reasonable enough to consider the timing and work involved. Just unfortunate you couldn’t get it a little cheaper esp. considering a lot of the cartridges were missing. That’s where negotiation gets tough, when both parties know the deal but finding that fair middle ground can definitely be challenging. This guy also seemed like he was totally okay with keeping it all had you countered anything less than $4k. While this turned into more of a collection upgrade for you, the reselling component sort of went out the door when you pass that 60% threshold. Ideally 40-50% price-charting seems more ideal when factoring taxes on top of all the other fees. Nothing you don’t already know. Just a tough situation to be in when you’re sitting there for hours calculating value and percentages, all the while maintaining that positive attitude. Childhood collections are always more sentimental to owners as well. Good job keeping your composure and having the patience to deal with all of it.

[@UnleashTheGoat]

Great breakdown couldn't agree more

[@sxnses]

So you expect him to sell everything to this youtuber for 5 dollars , the guy has bills to play he's not going to give this reselling grifter 5000 worth of games for 10 dollars lmfaooo, he's a reseller looking to rip people off not your friendly uncle.. so he better pay up

[@MrArchos504]

I like the way you are completely honest with him about your reselling. Most resellers like to evade that they are resellers and some even try to rip off these people. Good work.

[@bradsbrickpost]

The song starting at 27:08 is "We're Finally Landing" by Home for anyone else wondering like I did lol. Reminds me of Emplemon. Great videos by the way! I've been bingeing them. I'm a Lego collector but appreciate the thrill of the hunt for any good deal! And this kind hits my childhood!

[@austindonaghey3838]

Thank you for saying what the song was :)

[@jfh.8064]

Something you should mention when negotiating % of eBay on stuff is that they have to pay taxes on it too. A lot of people don’t realize that. It can be a difference maker. A lot of people don’t want to have to fill out separate taxes for eBay and all that so you can get stuff even cheaper sometimes.

[@springretrogames]

100%. I kept waiting for Chase to mention that if he sells over $600 they are going to send him tax documents.

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

That’s actually a really good point

[@ironman2885]

Yup, ebay takes their percentage on the sales taxes to so the fee is actually more than 15% and then you get to pay income tax on it... Barely worth it unless it's your job or you sell less than $600 worth a year.

[@tiradinusrex3793]

I haven't even finished the video and all I can say is Oh..... My...... God!!! What a massive score and you can tell this guy had really good taste, just an epic collection! Congrats on the find team CATRP!

[@thegerm574]

The Pokebank is -$4,000. What a find. Good negotiating. Wasn’t sure if you were going to close the deal. Your right about leaving the sale. They never call back.

[@flyboyz923]

Chase, I'm a reseller of (mostly vintage) Balsa Model Airplane Kits and totally understand your approach to 'adding to your collection'. The goal there becomes adding higher quality items to your collection while breaking even on the acquisition costs of what you're buying. In the end, you've recovered your monies spent while at the same time greatly enhancing the value of your personal collection. Good job!!

[@bigballrecall]

I'm the same way, but it gets confusing when doing taxes I would assume? Haven't started reselling yet.

[@HoonAgain]

He definitely knows what he’s doing to get that accomplished

[@Silverhawk25]

Ken, please do more of these videos. You are pure treasure, and learning of your personal experiences is a bright point in my day.

[@HoonAgain]

Same

[@RetroGameBros]

Would have been the craziest find if he only wanted $5 a piece or something. Having to pay 70% of pricecharting definitely made it a tougher decision, basically just like buying someones collection that hit you up from your youtube videos. Still, to go up to a yard sale and have them pull that out must have been exhilarating... up until he told you what he wanted lol

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

Yep definitely a nice haul but at $4k it’s a hard sell for me. If the seller was at $1k I’d be all over it. And who wouldn’t want to find this for $5 a piece

[@HoonAgain]

Agreed

[@sxnses]

lmfao so you expect this garage sale gentleman to sell this rich youtube reseller 5000 worth of games for like 50 bucks? he got a family to feed buddy, this reseller is getting 30% off that's already charity enough, he's literally a grifter

[@hawkeyebricks9905]

Kudos to the seller. He didn't get ripped off. And you got an amazing collection.

[@SamSyes]

Far from ripped off that’s a best case scenario for a seller like him. He’s getting cash money instead of having to claim it like income if he sold on auction and may have not even gotten that much

[@hawkeyebricks9905]

@SamSyes yeah he knew those guys would not walk away from it. They need the content and they're addicted to buying video games.

[@TattedCollector]

Man standing there telling the stories behind the games...Chase going through those bins with a smile and full mast just like "uh huh, yea, uh huh, such a good game, uh huh, yep, love it man"....lol, man I know you were excited! hahaha what a find!

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

I loved the entire interaction honestly. Him and I could definitely be friends. He was great!

[@peterlopez4529]

Dude, ok. This episode brought a HUGE smile onto my face. I had sooo many flashbacks just seeing all the classic game boxes and magazines. I feel so good right now. Thank you.

[@Inatio]

2:46 “a couple of things for my kids”. Shows a hammer and industrial bolt cutters. Cool kids!

[@ResaleRyan91]

You already know most of that stuff will go for above retail. Like you were saying the scarcity of boxes in that condition makes it few of a kind. 4000 wouldve been alright in my box. Add some quality conditioned games to complete that, and again you're getting above retail. Your margins will be solid

[@ResaleRyan91]

My book

[@itsshadybradybaby]

Good job boys. That guy was a little too stiff on the price, insisting on the upper hand with 70 percent. But it was a unique score with quality of the games. There's no way he would have got 4 grand on his own selling those games on eBay. Hopefully he's grateful of another very fair deal from the ol catrp crew.

[@WoodenLegStudios]

Great deal! Only thing I have to say is… Equinox is an amazing game! To each their own. Great find guys!

[@HoonAgain]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Didn’t think I’d find this comment so I had to comment. Everyone has their own taste. I actually liked that game too.

[@andysauro1500]

That red box! The way the guy was digging through all of them quickly without much care made me freak! I would have been flipping out for him digging through so carelessly LOL. Despite him being gracious enough to sell them to you.

[@TheRetroWorld]

this might be THE craziest yard sale find I have EVER seen!!!!!

[@Hotsaucedeluxe]

This guy has a good collection. I am jealous.

[@jasonpivoroff4591]

epic collection...you'll never see that again

[@KoujiAlex]

I loved this episode and appreciated the part Grant played in it; he represents how many of us hold dear to our childhood treasures and even more, treasures he worked hard to obtain. Many were quick to point out that the total price was way too high and that the haul wasn't really that much of a deal due to how pricey it was. Still, things we have to consider are that he wasn't planning to sell these at the moment his family's yard sale took place, the condition of those boxes was insane and his whole childhood was inside those 4 boxes. Chase really insisted on closing the deal at that moment, so the haste of closing the deal at that moment might have also influenced the total price to hike. It is different when someone wants to get rid of their stuff quick and make a buck out of it vs when someone is still not fully ready to let go of something, but gives it a go to see if the deal is good. Either way, this was one of my favorite episodes for sure. Great score Chase!

[@ObjoGaming]

You got some incredible stuff but I think right now the seller made out better in the end. Counting fees, shipping, and taxes there's not much room for profit. He got really lucky he got you as a buyer because I can't think of too many people who would buy a lot of games that are mostly box-only for that percentage and I don't think he considered that. Luckily I think you'll end out making out very well in the end because most of these games going into your collection will only increase in value, especially considering condition. Incredible finds!

[@SamSyes]

Yeah 99% of people wouldn’t have bought that

[@Luke-jx3mj]

@@SamSyes Pretty much any collector with the money would have.

I used to work with this guy! Lol didn’t know he had such a insane game collection. :0 gonna have to message him lol

[@marcverrier4338]

What did he say

[@ResaleRyan91]

The way that seller was talking.. he was definitely on the fence. I know that once you got to the negotiation.. you already had alot of time and wages invested. The seller was still reasonable in the end though.

[@stefansb]

oh no this type of deal no percent off. hopefully people see this message. AINT NO WAY YOULL EVER FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Full price all of it, just know your stuff there is ALWAYS a buyer.

[@ResaleRyan91]

I really like that you're willing to expand your expertise passed just games. With so many resellers these days it's getting harder and harder to get good deals. Have you ever thought about sending half the crew to another metropolitan area, and double down on sourcing?

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

Sometimes we split up where it makes sense, but sourcing in general isn’t an issue for the business at the moment

[@ResaleRyan91]

@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice I hear you. If I was selling a little more I'd be more active buying all the time. I'm hoping to unload as much as I can this Christmas season. I plan on joining the patreon soon.

[@HoonAgain]

It’s like he was waiting for someone to come through and buy out his collection at less than ebay or price charting. The guy is a talker and knows exactly what he’s doing. Not many would have pulled that off. CATRP will not be stopped. You guys were meant for that long random drive to that yard sale. Priced up but you guys will get the value back from sales and content. Nice job fellas.

[@trevor245]

I feel like even paying full ebay would have been worth it just for the condition. Many of those gotta be 1.5/2 X market

[@Groglor]

instant sick super nintendo collection. Hope to see stuff added to the collection

[@JohnnyEvilsVids]

What a score! The only thing I struggle with is your profit margin. It's none of my business what you pay for things, as you clearly know your business better than anybody else, but with that said, for me personally, as a small time reseller with no staff to pay, it seems like you're at break even or maybe even a little loss (when factoring wages, taxes, opportunity cost, fees, and all the other little Nickle and dime hidden costs of running a business). I don't know. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I know I need to be doubling my money at minimum all the time! With that said, if I thought I could make $1000 on a $4000 purchase, I might do that...where I probably wouldn't entertain making $10 on a $40 purchase. Is that kind of your thought process on some of these purchases where your profit margin is so tight? Don't get me wrong though. I am GREEN with envy over that score. Just amazing.

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

Well said! This was a purchase that turned from finding stuff to flip, to trying to collect. After all expenses I’ll be able to break even or better. I’m keeping quite a few games (2nd channel video tomorrow) and I’ll be selling the lesser quality duplicates in my collection which helps a bit

[@DavidMcDaniel-ni8cm]

You also have to remember he is making money on, sponsorships, youtube, etc.

[@simplez9343]

One way to think about it is, that the Charizard profit money could be used for this collection basically (and the stuff not needed in the collection, could be used to go toward the next goal).

[@ababab589]

content grows the business also

[@davegambill824]

You have incredible patience.

[@teddytellez5325]

You guys always seem to find the most unexpected stuff at yard sales can't wait to see what other rare stuff you guys find next time

[@markninty]

Sometimes people who are wanting to buy video game's of other people to relive there childhood can never get them because of resellers getting there first checking on eBay to see what it's worth and asking for a cheap price from people who don't really know what there game's are worth so resellers can boast about how Much money there earn in profits on KZbin videos

[@Jamesdalbright]

I wish I would of keep my snes and n64 boxes as a kid. I had so many of those game’s especially chrono trigger. Least I keep my magic cards and a lot of the game carts. Congrats on upgrading your collection that is the heart of the show and this one showed it.

[@megamob5834]

Absolutely INSANE… how did this guy have the foresight to keep all those boxes? And in such good condition! And almost every game was a banger 🤯 My childhood collection the boxes got immediately shredded and tossed and there was a high percentage of licensed garbage 😂 Amazing find guys 😎👍

[@ThatMatt85]

tbh I always wondered why everyone tore up and threw out the boxes and stuff along with scratching up all the games. That includes my friends. I always kept everything as nice as possible because I liked it so I treated it well. Granted at an early enough age it was my mom keeping them nice, I think to her if she paid $40 for a NES game it was going to be well taken care of.

[@Floppy815]

Fr I threw all my Gameboy and n64 boxes away as a kid

[@Mampersand]

Pro tip: snes and 64 boxes are designed to be opened from the right side. The left has those catches designed to hold the left flap in place, but the right doesn’t. Opening from the right side reduces cardboard stress on, say, a Chrono Trigger box worth several hundred dollars. Also obviously not doable at a yardsale but I like to slide a butter knife in to open boxes vs thumbing the center. Less wear on the flap.

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

Awesome pro tip! No idea about the right flap

[@JianoJoel]

Why do I get dopamine release from watching garage video game sales 😭🙌🏼 the most fun thing ever LOL

[@Mentally_Hilarious]

It hurts my soul to see those boxes being opened from the left side. The left side is designed to stay shut. I really don't think $4k is bad based off what I'm seeing. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that turns out to be a net profit of $4k or more. This is a textbook example of why having a lot of cash on hand is important even if you are just a collector that resells to fund a collection. What a beautiful collection.

[@pokemonsters2847]

4k was very fair, i would have done the exact same with that kind of quality boxes, great deal for both sides

@29:15 I think I recognize those in back as SNES Killer Instinct moveset cards. Those were great bc as far as I know, they were useful for console or arcade versions, spelling out even more than was potentially available on cabinet in HK LK HP LP ANYPUNCH, etc. combos + autos, those cards were gold Jerry! Gold! Killer Instinct doesnt get the praise it deserves, but a lot of retro gamers will remember their parental barriers, and a T rated game with tasteful blood was a godsend. That was perhaps Rarewares' specialty
