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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@Milkiy-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.

[@acesovspades]

nigga got the old school mew2king look on point

[@loganrocks54]

omfg i've literally always thought that too

[@MetalJesusRocks]

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

[@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.

[@JudgeCraven]

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

[@SouthOx]

I'm just here for the hair

[@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$...

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@EvilPixel]

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

[@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!

[@Kunoichify]

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

[@gearsofgorexx]

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

[@AllUsernamesTaken]

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

[@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 ! HOW DO I STOP !!!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@captaininsaneoooo]

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

[@TDBanimefan]

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

[@zero9112]

Happy 10th Anniversary

[@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.

[@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.

[@turtlemuffinxD]

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

[@DukeTheSPO0K]

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

[@LoveDeweyButtz]

01:44 "Oooh Valentines cards" That you will never need, ever.

[@PresentGenGamer]

Pete's new catch phrase: "That's watchable"

[@PeteDorr]

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

[@VanillaFejz]

25:23 Whispers *Pikachu, I choose you* ROFL!

[@TerminatorJesse]

When Pete says "Ou!" you know some money is gonna burn.

[@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

[@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

[@davideblonda6159]

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

[@SuperVincenot]

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

[@DBGcamo]

So many times I said to myself "CLICK ON THAT" then I remembered that I'm watching a pre recorded video and just face palm myself. Great idea by the way.

[@euanmckernan2764]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@B1GMARC1]

Welcome back home, 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 :)

[@Ponimaju]

I got excited when I saw that little Ni No Kuni Mite plush starting at $1. Suffice to say they sell for nowhere near a dollar haha.

[@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

[@Spilia4]

Pete takes the most boring topics and somehow makes them addictive and watchable :)

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@zombie868]

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

[@TheContradictator]

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

[@BETHEBEST21]

When is episode 2 coming out?

[@PortalMasterPete]

Episode 2 is now up!

[@PeteDorr]

Episode 2 is now up!

[@BETHEBEST21]

FUCK YES! CHEERS PETE LOVE YOUR WORK :)

[@DJjakedrake]

Foxy Print Brah?!?

[@82mellon]

Foxy Print ö

[@rickrude23]

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

[@octaviushernandez8234]

Pete has a good heart and really cares about his viewers

[@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.

[@TomNook]

Admitted Pete, you went back to his other listings again.

[@MrOpportunity45]

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

[@Piizzachuu]

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

[@Tochir0]

haha, awesome seeing Pete slobbering over some Sonic merch

[@jiajia2752]

Is it weird that I enjoy watching someone else browse on ebay?

[@dogmd7]

Great tips, but I think eBay made this a lot harder now because when someone lists up something they pretty much show you what the going rate of the products are. It seems like lots are really the best ways to get rare gems, because individual games are likely to be raised up by the suggested price feature and trending prices.

[@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.

[@Dedrohauf]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@NumberOneIdle]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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

[@larrshin]

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

[@BlueRise85]

As soon as he stopped recording, I bet he went back to those magazines, "That's watched".

[@TG5455]

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

[@dgb751]

"super nintendo, sega genesis", "when I was a kid, I couldnt have this"....Nortorious B.I.G.

[@jawnsunn]

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

[@Max86Mad]

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

[@cronolink9]

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

[@CocoonComrade]

'that's watchable" should be your new catchphrase

[@JimsGameRoom]

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

[@Vicbosstv]

Pikachu! i choose you! lmao i had to play that back to make sure i wasn't hearing things

[@Breeezekiid]

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

[@JordanKD94]

Definatley do more of these, very entertaining

[@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.

[@Daggerfall40]

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

[@frubeboii]

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

[@zcxvasdfqwer1234]

I'm no collector but I like to search then go swimming in the recommended items within recommended items related to the search. Then I put everything I like on a watchlist. Then I write down my max price on paper to remind me. Then I look at the ending soonest list of my watchlist and narrow what I want. I don't expect to win ANY bids cuz of sniping and shill bids. I look for buy it now items in my watchlist and if nothing matches I start watching bids based on ending soonest again and make plan A B C...etc. Then I bid at the last 30 seconds and if I win cool if I don't...well its just plastic and metal..

[@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?

[@xion8900]

he's not changing everything about himself. i just suggested he freshen up his looks. what matters to him and all of us is the video games. i just think he has the potential to look nice, and that's all i am saying.

[@zivan20006]

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

[@joshuasmith720]

You know, I was thinking about something that came to mind while I was watching your video. Have you ever noticed in general whenever you buy a "lot" you basically get combined items for a reduced price, but on Ebay, it seems like most people don't understand a "lot". For instance, maybe a Zelda game costs 40 bucks, but when you buy10 of them, it would then cost 300 bucks not 400. I'm thinking the majority of sellers on ebay are having a hard time understanding this.

[@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!

[@TheVGAdventure]

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

[@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

[@nicklong27]

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

[@RATMiztheshiz]

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

[@randommoosebrains]

Do more! On the hunt for games on ebay in the mind of pete....sounds good!

[@iphonepunker]

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

[@christopherandhobbes9846]

Sir you are skilled in the art of ebay

[@Sillyzombie666]
