eBay Game Hunting (Episode 1)

[@brycesl]

Ah good old eBay they add good changes while KZbin does the opposite

[@protoluigi2047]

Which is ironic since KZbin is formed by former PayPal employees!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I found this really useful!

[@COOLDUDERBALD]

Me too. So when’s the donation of that hair wig?

[@tk7977]

@@COOLDUDERBALD God you're all over these videos. Stop being a weirdo.

[@MrSimonelite]

I feel like it wasn’t long ago at all that this video was posted! Time really flies. I love this eBay series so decided to go back to watch the first episode again and I see that it was already 8 years since this first episode. Thank you so much for all your years of entertainment Pete!

[@Milky-Hazard]

9 years ago 😳

[@RecencyBiasRadio]

This series is incredible. I thought I was the only one who could hunt for a game for an hour & find it entertaining. The thrill of looking for something rare is so fulfilling. I'm currently looking up all the best deals on PAL 3DS games since they're all marked up compared to the US prices. Been finding some gems.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Also, you can use search modifiers too. For instance "sign -Pokemon" won't show those Pokemon games

[@matthewluebeck4112]

Do please keep doing these. Watching someone who does this, and seeing how he does it is always the best way to learn something.

[@refan122]

i really really wanna see more of these..and i dont mind you staying on one item figuring out if you want it or not.i love the thought process in this video pointing out and giving info..this is one of my favorite videos i've seen of your stuff just because its so informative and interesting

[@BartechTV]

Mac has screen recording built in. You just run Quicktime then in the file menu select "New screen recording". You can select the whole screen, a region or a window to record.

[@mangofreezy]

Holy crap Pete. Great video series idea. Exactly what I'm interested in seeing from you. Keep it up man, I'm very excited to see more of this series.

[@Kunoichify]

this is actually very helpful even though i don't collect games i collect vinyl

[@EvilPixel]

i just watched a guy use ebay for 25 minutes...... i have no life

[@TDBanimefan]

I have never seen anyone else do this. You are very good at hunting games.

[@SouthOx]

I'm just here for the hair

[@fireheartis1]

I just bought a DS Fat and two Wii game from eBay this week. I bought The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and The Godfather: Blackhand Edition for the Wii. I traded both in to help pay for my Wii U and felt stupid for doing it, so I decided I was going to get them both since my wife was buying me an early birthday present. Then she told me to also get the DS Fat since I've been wanting one for a while. My wife just totally rocks hard!!!

[@PeteDorr]

I am not against custom stuff, but with limited space I am very picky about what I choose to take up space. I once traded a complete copy of Panzer dragoon saga for a custom made ICO Sackboy plush, so I definitely make some exceptions.

[@octaviushernandez8234]

Pete has a good heart and really cares about his viewers

[@americanspirit3280]

Thanks for tips on using really general search terms and how to spot the less experienced sellers who don't know the value sometimes.

[@KanesTheName]

This was so great to watch. The guy with the NSFW magazines was hilarious. 'Quite the jump in content'. PLEASE make an Episode 2!!

[@joelsinn9302]

The more you tell your tactics, the less you will find.

[@brrnay]

exactly. that seems like a no brainer. i can't believe he would want a hundred thousand people to see how to steal his deals.. what an ignorant move.

[@SevenCompleted]

>implying the autistic fucks who watch these videos havent maxed out their parents cards already

[@joelsinn9302]

***** lol, I also just stumbeled across the video in my boredom.

[@cakestalker]

brrnay Maybe he figured out he could get the roms instead for free instead of spending tons of money on plastic and paper.. basically.

[@ExecutiveCounsel]

***** I'm going to call the Vatican and have you thrown into the Satanic Dimension.

[@verto4520]

Don't watch, add to bookmarks. Just so any other people bid low expecting JUST them to be bidding.

[@MuscleDad420]

good advice. Watched an item earlier this week that was BIN & OBO. morning after I click to watch it the seller gets rid of the OBO option.

[@TheBrainScratcher]

you cant see how many people are watching an auction ... also when you bid 15$ on a 5$ auction it sets your bid automatically to 6$...

[@gearsofgorexx]

Pete, buy the 100$ mac program. Really awaiting a 3rd episode and many more to come. Great work

[@DavonGrahamTV]

Mr. dorr i have always loved video games. Recently my drive to play them was lowered when i realized their have not been too many original titles out for the consoles i own. (pc, vita, and ps3) but after seeing your channel i invested in some older ps 1 titles that i really enjoy like RE and Syphan Filter. thank you for posting videos i watch all your stuff and it gets me looking for new titles to play :). Thanks

[@nocturnparadox6050]

OMG i found you pete ! you are like me ! i am a game collector addict i get games from EVERYWERE ebay amazon gamestop walmart hastings EVERYWERE i am a game addict (collecting wise) and game play wise but i really whant to stop like i see a game or ( accesorie with the game ) and i go OMG I NEED THAT !

[@bhllewells]

You are now my Gaming Guru, just got a gamecube with 5 games for £20 and Banjo Kazooie in its box for £5. thank you!

[@acesovspades]

nigga got the old school mew2king look on point

[@loganrocks54]

omfg i've literally always thought that too

[@PeteDorr]

Since a lot of people seem to really enjoy this video, I am sure this will become a regular new series for me. Stay tuned!

[@BrettHuynh-Tiger1]

i Like eBay Game Hunting Videos

[@turtlemuffinxD]

Easily one of my favorite videos you have done, can't wait to see more.

[@vintagegamer889]

Our school used to pre install the screen recording software on our MacBooks before we got iPads. It was a great way to post gameplay vids

[@davideblonda6159]

i have been around for 10 years in E-bay, i have found this video very useful

[@euanmckernan2764]

This series(hopefully) is right up my street would love to see more Pete!

[@zombie868]

Great video, I am an avid ebay user for about 2 years. I learned some tips today I almost never knew.

[@Breeezekiid]

What a great new concept for this channel, really keeps things fresh. Great job Pete.

[@RideRedRacer]

ya man, the first 2 minutes of this totally remind me of myself on eBaY. iTS SOOO addicting. just "watch" will get you in trouble down the road. hahah I swear if I could upload some pictures I took of my room with almost 30 packages I got from my PO box in 1 day.... its like Xmas opening all my games haha. and that went on for like 4 days straight. getting 100's of single wrapped packages in my PO box within like 4 days.... I still buy a lot but I slow down on the purchases now lmfao

[@captaininsaneoooo]

shopping on ebay tips....man way to keep people entertained and informed

[@DustyTMSM666]

Here's a game I recommend all DBZ fans (It'll be especially great if you know Japanese) Dragon Ball Kai Ultimate Butouden. It's a game for the DS that is waaaaay ahead of it's time. The graphics are really impressive for it being just a DS game.

[@_wave737]

What? it was released in 2011 and its graphics are nothing special

[@williamhoude3886]

I've been looking and buying retro games on ebay for ages and i must say that there are some really nice search features of the website that i don't even know the existence... By example : completed listings. Thank you Pete

[@ReeceH92]

Fantastic video Pete. It's always a joy to see a new upload from you and this one was particularly unique and interesting. I would definitely love to see more and hope you are able to make more! Thanks for letting us join in on your eBay browsing :)

[@TravisNestor]

It's funny that you would say that. Although I'm personally indifferent on the matter, my sister just graduated from film school. Looking at many different schools, she found the common thing was they all required macs for their filming, recording, and editing processes.

[@zero9112]

Happy 10th Anniversary

[@BETHEBEST21]

When is episode 2 coming out?

[@PortalMasterPete]

Episode 2 is now up!

[@opens11]

Hey Pete loved this video! One of the best I've seen in a LONGTIME. Please keep this series going!

[@TheContradictator]

def wanna see more of this. These tips can be used with more than just VideoGames which is great to see

[@rickrude23]

Great to see you putting up more frequent videos pete. Loving the channel.

[@DukeTheSPO0K]

I keep trying to scroll with my mouse on your eBay screen shots...

[@EricCarter12]

Great video Pete. You gave some really good advice. You got a thumbs up from me and I really want to see more of these types of videos in the future. Also the screen recorder for Mac you're referring to I'm pretty sure is ScreenFlow. I brought it for my Mac and it really is great. It will really make things easier for you. I have been using a Mac for about 3-4 months now and it has been great.

[@vincentalonzo9252]

I like this alot. Honestly if you end up buying that program for your mac I would watch these every-time I see one out.

[@jawnsunn]

Your thought process while ebay-ing is extremely hilarious and awesome. Keep doing more, man.

[@CHIxTOWNxNUMBERx19]

Yeah Pete this video was great! Love to see another one; the very random nature of it is very appealing to collectors like us!

[@Coolto22]

A series about this would be really great. Also, could you do a video about searching for specific items and/or other places besides eBay that you look to find great deals?

[@irpacynot]

Not sure it's worthy of its own series, but as a one-off, I really enjoyed it and got some good shopping ideas from it.

[@EddieUsername]

I would go for the program. I love this video! If it turns into a series i would watch every episode.

[@Tobsesan]

Wow pete you showed me so much awesome stuff in that video. I love the 3d Sign from halo you showed and olly moss art is just awesome.

[@hypersonic1337]

Great video, being a long time collector I already know most of these strategies but I could have definitely used something like this when I was starting. Keep it coming Pete

[@soundXfury]

Definitely do more Pete, really enjoyed this video. You know what would be super cool though? You streaming a genuine ebay game hunting session, and then maybe uploading the video afterwards? Would be good to be able to interact with you while you're looking through!

[@PeteDorr]

Sort of. I will mention it when I do episode 2.

[@brandonkarcher23]

This is the age of minutiae. I'm watching a guy shop on eBay and it's riveting. Love ya Pete! I'm a subscriber and I liked.

[@iphonepunker]

screen record with "Quicktime player" its pre installed with every Mac and works great with out lag great videos also

[@RATMiztheshiz]

This video was awesome, Pete! I could watch videos like this for days and never get bored. More would be so cool.

[@alanbrowning8788]

at 10:12 time poor pete didnt notice a huge lot super nintendo 17 game and 2 dogbone controllers with 20 min left at 22.50$ darn that looks like one id watch .. love ya pete keep on kepin on

[@zai.90]

More of a buy it now guy as well. I've also found that the quality of items are just higher for buy it now items (which is probably why it's listed at a higher price). I do go for auctions if it's a significant discount though. Got all three Saturn Panzer Dragoons for less than $400 a year ago through auction. If i tried that for buy it now listings, it would be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than $500. The funny thing is, the quality was perfectly fine once I replaced the horribly cracked jewel cases and got the discs cleaned (harmless scratches, but a lot). I could easily sell these now great condition games in the $600 range lol. Of course, I've no plans to sell off my collection heh. Some seriously useful tips here, though, even three years later. Thanks!

[@Diugara]

I don't often leave a comment, but I really loved the video (Was actually really hoping you'd do something like this for a long while.) Please do more of these! :D

[@AllUsernamesTaken]

You probably know by now, QuickTime records your screen flawlessly for free.

[@loubilly]

Great idea for a video Pete! In Australia, Amazon is pretty much out of the question, due to the massive shipping costs. Thanks so much for putting together a guide to Ebay, as it is a service we can use too :)

[@Dedrohauf]

These videos are pretty good, but I don't think I'd like this too frequently I appreciate more of your regular content.

[@AbraxiS666]

That Sonic sign at 20:51 is frekking awesome.That was the sign that the authorized sellers had on the outside of the store...its written in Portuguese and its frekking rare nowadays :)

[@cronolink9]

I started to laugh so hard when the NSFW stuff cropped up there. XD Really great video, Pete, the tips are really useful.

[@AtariFitness]

Awesome video!! I have just started out to buy retro consoles and games. Yesterday, I bought my first two retro consoles. There were the Sega Saturn + Sega Dreamcast on eBay. My first baby step for future retro games and consoles. I would love to see more videos like this!! Especially for new comers like me. A BIG THUMBS UP FROM ME!!!

[@MrAllYouKnow]

Good vid Pete this really helped with my game searchs on the UK eBay as well. Please continue with these vids!

[@TheVGAdventure]

thanks for the tips Pete, I knew a couple already but you've definitely helped widen my search. Top video!

[@sylfan1]

Hey Pete, you can edit your feed on the Ebay home page by using the little 'My Interests' box. There's some great tips on here, you should do another one!

[@PeteDorr]

I don't alphabetize my games. Crazy I know, but I am just not obsessed with keeping an order like that. i like having to browse through my games helplessly, sometimes I find something totally different to play than I was originally looking for.

[@SuperVincenot]

Would be fun to see you hunt games at garage sales!

[@shaunhoulden7613]

Not very kind to Pete, but I must admit that is probably one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.

[@WalkingPlatonic]

i liked this, its a good guide for a beginner like me, usefull tips and you show some cool items, im surely gonna watch this series.

[@MrOpportunity45]

Please do more. I browse eBay every day for this kind of stuff!

[@ItsMisterBluray]

A heads up: Update to Mountain Lion (10.8) it has quicktime X, it has screen recording free. 30 bucks for the OSX in the app store.

[@BronyDash66]

Love to see more of these pete, don't go investing that type of money unless you're sure. Shows you care about your fans though, rare nowadays.

[@frubeboii]

thank you this helped me find an old arcade cabinet that i couldnt find anywhere at a decent price

[@zivan20006]

Thanks, you helped up my game when shopping for deals on eBay. The ole ball and chain will be pissed!

[@Max86Mad]

This is a fantastic way to tell new collectors how it works. Thumbs up bro!

[@PeteDorr]

thanks, I figured there was a way to filter results like that, just never bothered to look it up :)

[@werty1432k]

I could watch hours of this

[@01owilliam]

hey i just wanted to say that i know a lot of people think that all you do is gaming and collecting stuff that you will never play/use but i personally have been very inspired by the way that you haven't sold out to youtube like a lot of gamers and commentators are doing. There are sometimes huge gaps between your videos while you go to college or abroad and it shows me that you very much have a life away from here and many youtubers should take a leaf out of your book.

[@MuggPro]

Nice, keep doing this its not fun to watch but i get some type of click in my mind that just makes me keep watching and for whatever reason its satisfying to watch....

[@larrshin]

Right on! I am new to retro shopping on ebay. Thanks for posting pete!

[@Daggerfall40]

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this video but it was quite entertaining and informative. Thumbs up for a part 2!

[@Piizzachuu]

21:15 Well that escalated quickly! Lol. Great vid pete.

[@TG5455]

Hope to see more episodes of you looking around eBay for rare game items in the future.

[@jburge426]

Great video man! I really appreciate your taking the time to share your tips. I never really looked at ebay much (I mostly stick to thrift shops and Craigslist) for collecting because I didn't really know how to search and use Buy It Now to my advantage and get decent deals. Thanks!

[@nicklong27]

Great vid Pete, I've been Ebaying for years but I still learned something today

[@SinfulJon]

Good stuff Pete, I enjoyed this and wouldn't mind watching more in the future. Thanks!

[@JordanKD94]

Definatley do more of these, very entertaining

[@TheStereo3000]

Great video Pete, an original idea which was very interesting, would love to see more of this.

[@HiddenAdept]

If your looking for specific games, not into buying "lots" I would recommend trying the Amazon marketplace. The marketplace beats eBay on retro game prices pretty often in my experience.

[@powerguy9876]

Really enjoyable Pete! I want this to be a series

[@JimsGameRoom]

This was really different and enjoyable. Would definitely watch more of these

[@MovieStarKitten]

I really love this new video series, Pete. :) You are definitely playing pro when it comes to ebay.

[@Neaveso1]

So pleased i found this video. Just got Knight of Old Republic 1 & 2 on Xbox for £5 each! Mugs!

[@MuscleCar429]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Pete. Very informative ;) Please keep this up.

[@mightycrow7]

This is awesome Pete! Please keep making them!
