GTA trilogy on Switch is $38 loose, $40 CIB. Could have doubled up on that one.

[@Emceemur]

@@peterlopez4529 Yeah, you're right, I should've bought that one too. I've been wanting to play through Vice City again. It's a great collection to have portable.

[@RoXolid]

Damn you Mer!!!! I want to see if you fixed it NOW!!! LOL

[@Emceemur]

I'm gonna have to cruise out to Video Game Trader again and get an industrial buff up on that bad boy! No room for errors on that spicy meatball.

[@RoXolid]

I hear you on that,@@Emceemur. Good Luck!

[@Frank-x1g]

​@@Emceemur You got to show us you playing that baby.

[@Emceemur]

@@Frank-x1g That's a reasonable request! It shall be done.

[@ShadeyClaymore]

Oh my goodness Mur some of the coolest grabs, especially at this era of the game. Truly showing why ya go out early, on a grungy level. Killer content dude.

[@Emceemur]

Thank you very much! And yeah, it's definitely a different era. 15 years ago, Id find 3 NES's before breakfast. (Maybe not boxed lol). But a lot of that stuff has been dug out, sold and is back in circulation. Seeing that unit out in the wild was....well, wild.

[@BarakGage]

Best quality retro hunting content on KZbin

[@Emceemur]

Man, that's high praise! I'll take it! Im really glad you're enjoying it. I've been behind on production but it felt great to get this video out. And there's more coming right behind it.

[@BarakGage]

@@Emceemur it’s not even a contest you’re the 🐐 at this

[@DoYouNerd]

Yooooo, that Action Set, c'mon now! That sort of find my man!! 👏👏

[@Emceemur]

Talk about just stopping traffic. You see that thing, you're stopping. I really didn't think we'd make a deal though!

[@DoYouNerd]

@@Emceemur That price got me; I was in your boat thinking they'd be at 3, 4, 5 hundred easy. When they threw out a reasonable price, it's like wait...what?

[@penguinjay]

Good tonal shift. Breaking the day into multiple segments with lots of roads leading back to your active collection and the enjoyment of the games seems like a much more wholesome approach to your videos. With a bigger audience, maybe it will still perform well this way! It might help distinguish you in a sea full of buying and selling and profit only videos--especially since you're a knowledgeable gamer. I hope your audience agrees! Stay well!

[@Emceemur]

100% all of that, yes. I think honestly this change in format/focus will be more enjoyable for everyone, myself included. We always look at what stuff sells for but half the time I don't even sell the stuff. I keep a lot of what I buy and a lot of it ends up needing repairs which I'm always backed up on. So the collecting perspective makes more sense for the show. I appreciate you checking out the new episode!

[@penguinjay]

​@@EmceemurI'm right there w you on the repairs, always a little backed up. Keep up the good work- it's awesome to save games and hardware from hitting the landfill. It's even more awesome to add value and make money doing it! Lots of stuff I fix stays with me too though. Like Grind Stormer, as-is for under 20 bucks, and it's a 100 dollar game for my collection that I wouldn't be able to justify otherwise. Dangol' Tengen. Their quality control problem gave me a unique opportunity. Ya love to hate em. I hope you and the family have happy holidays! Take care! P.S. hunting for cheap physical media like dvds and blurays is awesome, there is hope for the younger generations!

[@Emceemur]

@@penguinjay Happy Holidays to you as well! And yeah, I was proud of her for recognizing the value of physical media! (And even more impressive, actually waking up at 7am lol)

[@joseb2503]

@9:48 I found the same boxed NES at a yard sale last weekend for $10 NO JOKE! it was super clean and complete with manuals games and all the plastic bags that it came with. I was literally shaking that I found such an awesome deal and very clean CIB NES. Good find and love the vids!

[@Emceemur]

Wowsers! To find a deal like that nowadays is tough! It's a wonder they didn't look up the value. But some people truly don't care and just want to declutter. It sounds crazy but it happens. I've been handed NES games at multiple sales and told "just take it."'and "I don't want em." They didn't want anything for them. I bought a VCR off one of them just so I could pay them something lol. Congrats and thanks for watching the new episode!

[@ThatDudeT]

Welcome back sir, missed your great content. Great find on that NES box set and good luck on that Silent Hill 3.

[@Emceemur]

A thousand thanks! It's great to back in production. This time of year has been uncommonly busy and stressful but I think I'm back on track. Definitely some peak finds on this hunt and we're just getting started.

[@jeffreycharest9093]

Suspenseful episode Mur. Definitely checking out the next installments. Props to your daughter for going the physical route and not just relying on streaming. I would have paid those prices all day long for the scores from this part of the hunt.

[@Emceemur]

She did pretty good too! Got a few seasons of Lost, House and The Office! This hunt was wild. I'm already putting the next episode together. Thanks for being here, brutha and I hope your Holiday is spectacular!

[@steviefreakinc]

Darn that Morning Dew

[@Emceemur]

Lol it gets wet and wild some days. Some of the sellers leave their stuff at the market and just tarp it up. So it stays outside indefinitely. A lot of the boxes/cases are practically disintegrating. I know it's a lot to pack it all back up but if it was my merchandise I definitely would.

[@steviefreakinc]

Great vid! @@Emceemur

[@Emceemur]

@@steviefreakinc I appreciate it, man. I'm gonna do my best to keep em comin.

[@DanofWar101]

Awesome pickups! I would pay the extra fee to have it resurfaced by a store who has an industrial resurfacer instead of using your JFJ for that hood pickup lol! That box will definitely look nice on your shelf! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@Emceemur]

Yep, we're going back to Video Game Trader. That drum style resurfacer is almost infallible. $5 per disc but worth it for how high dollar a game it is.

[@KaneDeathBreaker]

I would love to go hunting with you Mur,I absolutely love these episodes,every one of them is great man,you always deliver.

[@Emceemur]

Thanks dude! There's some good hunting in these parts. There's 4 good flea markets within a 3hr radius. In reality Im not covering nearly the ground I could be. You can guarantee cheap gaming every weekend.

[@fishchips1159]

Man we sure did miss ya buddy. Glad to have you back. Hoping to get you to a show I vend one day. Comics, games, and toys in good ol Jacksonville Florida 😂

[@Emceemur]

I would love that. I think I know the one you're talking about. I wanna do more conventions/events. & I'm glad to be back! Production was really delayed but I've got some new episodes cooking now.

[@fishchips1159]

@@Emceemur you know of the retrorama Collectibles Show? 😲 Can't wait to see what you find 😁

[@Emceemur]

@@fishchips1159 ok, no I don't know that one. There's another one down there that the GenX crew goes to. But yeah, it sounds rad. I like comics a lot too.

[@fishchips1159]

@@Emceemur maybe one day you and the Gen X crew could make it. They happen 3 times a year so I could drop the info at some point in the near future 😎

[@kree-diddygaming7645]

Boxed NES?!?! Nice haul man!

[@Emceemur]

I MEAN. How was that still there? Sharks always circling at this place. That was a good price and unreal condition.

[@TheChristianCollector]

Another awesome episode. I just picked up a atomic purple n64 console mostley complet for 85. I have the missing pieces and it came with exspansion pack. Love pocking at the flea market.

[@Emceemur]

That's a great buy! The purple ones are sharp. Id love to get my hands on a watermelon 🍉 one. Any of those colors you really just don't see laying around anymore. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!

[@cat5e]

Great content as always! The tape "damage" on the NES box looks like it might just be dusty residue. If that's the case, Bestine or lighter fluid might wipe it right off. My boxed Action Set has a glossy finish on the cardboard and would be safe to wipe.

[@Emceemur]

That's good intel! I might try that in a small area and see. All in all, the old girl looks great for her age. Im glad you're diggin the content! I'm working on more episodes right now.

[@leeokami1021]

I know I give your vids a hard time but this was a good one, also and more important at 10:41 when you pick up the controller, that green box is vintage FP-100C polaroid film. if its still sealed a box of that type of film goes for $100-$120.

[@Emceemur]

Man, I appreciate it. I'm going to try and make this show more of a collecting perspective like it was in the beginning. And that's good intel on that Polaroid film! I like to hear what y'all see that I miss or don't know about. That's the kind of stuff that just sits there too. I bet it will still be there next time.

[@RRANGEL1228]

@Emceemur, those are some sweet pickup that system you got was super clean looking. Definitely hard to not pick up lol. I’ve been trying to find games like silent hill and the fact that you were able to find one literally out in the wild is awesome! Hopefully it cleans up good. Looking forward to your next video 😅

[@Emceemur]

It was just sitting there. Not even on a table. Stuff like that always befuddles me lol. Definitely some wow factor in this episode and there's more action coming right behind all this!

[@GamingintoEternity]

Damn Mur! You sucked me back in! Can't wait for the follow up episode to see about the boxed NES and SH3 loose disc.

[@Emceemur]

This hunt was insane. I literally couldn't buy it all. Anybody who was there for games that morning was eatin good. Im already working on the next few episodes!

[@Emceemur]

And great to see you here, brutha!! Glad to be back.

[@slayer768]

Mega-Gaming on the Mega-Cheap. Dude that boxed Nes for $125 was looking good buddy. I can't wait to see if they all work. Fingers crossed on that Silent Hill 3. Great video dude

[@slayer768]

Oh and I see that cod action in the back. If you ever want to squad up lmk

[@Emceemur]

Update vids on the way for sure! And this hunt just went on and on. And mega yes to some COD. Hit me up on X or something when you're playing.

[@demonhunter7861]

Great pickups mur. Great deals as always!

[@Emceemur]

It was wild! Something like that NES, you can see from space. And it was just....there lol. But I'm stoked to do updates on those and more coming soon from recent hunting guaranteed 👍

[@demonhunter7861]

@@Emceemur I look forward to it!!

[@Evercade_Effect]

Happy to see you back at it. Can't wait to see you try Silent Hill after the resurface and test the NES.

[@Emceemur]

That's definitely coming up. I have a lot of updates on past scores we need to check on. But these pickups were without a doubt extra spicy 🌶️!

[@fcdavidg4751]

I’m addicted to your videos! Can you make a guide to purchasing games on eBay and flea markets for newbies like myself? I swear I find good deals but when I see videos like this I know I’ve overpaid haha

[@Emceemur]

I think that's a neat idea. This series kind of helps with the flea buying tips but the eBay idea definitely could be useful. That space has changed so much in the last couple years. It can take some getting used to. I'll see what I can do!

[@francescosmith7859]

Good episode Mur. It looks like it was a great day and I'm looking forward to seeing if Silent Hill and the NES work and of course to see if there were any other bargains to be found. I don't know what time of day you got to the NES table but I'm pretty surprised it was still there. Maybe I'm out of date but it seems like that was quite the find.

[@Emceemur]

Man, it was definitely later in the morning by the time we found that! So it was definitely insane that no one else bought it. There are flippers all over that place so it's honestly suspicious. But the box was in phenomenal condition and I had to go for it.

[@francescosmith7859]

@@Emceemur I don't blame you. It was definitely a great find.

[@drewa3597]

damnnnn, fantastic finds!

[@Emceemur]

It's nice to have a boxed NES, no doubt. I had a complete N64, Cube and SNES. Even a Gameboy but never bagged A complete NES.

[@WavesNGames]

Dude, boxed games and consoles all over this episode! I really hope you can get Silent Hill cleaned up nicely.

[@Emceemur]

It was a full day, man. I walked holes 🕳️ into my shoes! Everyone had something gaming related it seemed. Im gonna take Silent Hill to Video Game Trader and get that industrial buff job done on it. Give it its best chance for survival!

[@zeusdiaz4096]

Great pick up man ! 125 I would have paid for sure 🔥 let’s go ! scored on a smoke gray Nintendo 64 controller this weekend at a convention in Sacramento paid 45 thought it was a decent deal

[@Emceemur]

Zeus! ⚡️ Yeah, I never do see the smoke grey stuff out. I scored a smoke console about 10 years ago at a yard sale and I still have it. It was ridiculously clean. I use my Jungle Green to play on but the smoke one is a nice shelf piece!

[@backinthedaygamer]

Just as I was about to complain bc there was no NES, BOOM lol

[@Emceemur]

BITDG!! I made like Vanessa Williams and Saved The Best For Last lol. So bizarre that no one else bought that thing. it was well into the hunt when I spotted it.

[@Frank-x1g]

Man, this was insane. You need to let us know where this ends up good or baaaaad. LOL. Love the hunt videos.

[@Emceemur]

Definitely will. We will have an update video and test all this out to see how I actually did. Thanks for being here!

[@gamesdottom]

4 months later and we still don’t know if the silent hill works or the NES….😅

[@Emceemur]

Hey, you got me there. I certainly am backed up on production. But there will be an update video next in this series. And since you asked, I'll give you a little bit to tide you over. Silent Hill does not work. It boots, but once you're playing, it'll freeze on a random load screen. So I'm going to do my best to get it repaired and that'll be covered in the update video for sure.

[@Owazrim]

Nice NES grab.

[@Emceemur]

Comin in clutch! Are you posting any footage from the GCS event? Im working on an episode from that now, along with a followup to this episode.

[@Owazrim]

Yeah, I'm working through it now.

[@CaptNRetro]

I was hoping you were calling the boxed PS4 a retro console for the title of this video..the troll in me giggled..then i saw the NES..buy all day

[@Emceemur]

I don't know why that was still sitting there at that point in the day. Usually anything that cool is gone 30 minutes after it opens. I'm gonna hang onto it for sure. There's no telling how much more expensive they might become. "Is The PS4 RETROUGH?!"

[@karlhayes1600]

should have grabbed that GTA on switch man. I think its almost a $50 game still.

[@Emceemur]

You're right, I actually regret not grabbing that one. I thought about it but for some reason I just grabbed the Mario games. I've been wanting to play through Vice City again.

[@karlhayes1600]

@@Emceemur I am playing through GTA 3 right now on it. Pretty good compilation! Otherwise, good finds!

5:48 fingerprinting the disc bro

That's definitely a possibility. These usually need cleaning anyway so in the end they come out in better condition. But what disc holding techniques do you employ/prefer?

[@BanditsBest686]

not pinching the disc? reminds me of my cousin years ago when cds first came out and i grabbed his discs like that and get got mad "FINGER PRINTING THE DISCS BRO!" lol now im like that when i see people do it. you push the center with your thumb hold it there, then with index finger hold the edge as you pull it out, swear ive seen you do it before a couple times@@Emceemur

u have changed for this day hoping u dont go back on another with your scummy ways / paying full price instead of your scummy bundling ways / even though u always say its a great price but never usually pay it usually u kick them down alot

[@Emceemur]

I can't say I won't ever bundle or bargain again. But I like to think that can be done reasonably and where applicable. And the prices were definitely fair today so I like to see that. I want to go back to the show being focused on collecting like it was years ago. I appreciate you checking out the episode and I'm sure that future episodes will turn out even better.
