Back into the fray!

[@Emceemur]

Indeed! Lots of frays to be back into too. There's going to be a handful of new vids in the weeks to come so that's exciting. I gotta finish up the GameStop challenge too. Lots to do!

[@reggaerock]

@@Emceemur yes sir! 🫡

[@joetheshmo4640]

Back on the hunt! It’s exciting that yard sale and flea market season is here again!

[@Emceemur]

Definitely wanna hit yard sales this year! I hardly hit any last year, all flea for me. But yard sales seem to have been a lot less plentiful since 2020. They usually yield the coolest finds tho!

[@mjdf122]

Emceemur finally back in action on the hunt

[@Emceemur]

It has been a minute! Im going to have a handful of new episodes in the weeks to come so we're getting back to business.

[@capojaymo23]

Your back lets go!!! Honestly you have 1 of the most informative and entertaining hunts on youtube.

[@Emceemur]

I really appreciate that! Both those things are exactly what I want this show to be for people. Like a quick reference guide. A lot of the things I find are the same things you're gonna find out there. And its good to be up on the market values so we don't overpay 👍

[@KitDoctor]

Nice one, good to see you back at it

[@Emceemur]

Thanks! Yeah we were overdue for a flea episode. There will be a lot more coming throughout the spring and summer.

[@DoYouNerd]

Some decent deals and comic finds to boot! Nice. And kudos on the MK8 honesty, thank you. Can't wait to hear the Wii and Switch results!

[@Emceemur]

Yeah, I gave him a chance to change his mind. And the Wii and the Switch sure aren't the prettiest girls at the dance but hopefully I can get em fixed up and presentable. I can say we've needed a spare Lite before and we didn't have one at the time.

[@DoYouNerd]

@@Emceemur Once they ARE presentable, make sure they get a slow stair descent like late 90s early 2000s rom-coms. lol

[@GamingintoEternity]

Nice to get another Flea Market vid!

[@Emceemur]

Nice that you're here for it! And I haven't forgotten about the podcast. It is coming back. Probably sometime in April. Stuffs been crazy! But Im gonna bring it back and we're gonna have new flea stuff throughout the Spring as well.

[@GamingintoEternity]

@@Emceemur Haha! You remembered! I didn't want to pester you again about the podcast! Great news!

[@zeusdiaz4096]

Let’s go 🔥 been waiting for the hunt vids

[@Emceemur]

ZEUS!⚡️ Great to see you in here, my man! Hope you're finding good stuff these days.

[@Evercade_Effect]

Happy to see you back to game hunting. I hope that Switch works and the screen is repairable.

[@Emceemur]

Hopefully it works and hopefully it doesn't look too bad when on. Im not sure I've earned my screen surgery badge yet. I don't know how to solder or anything.

[@Evercade_Effect]

@@Emceemur 💯

[@TiltingT]

Looks like you had a great first hunt on the season amd bagged some good ones!

[@Emceemur]

It was cool! And I'll be filming more soon. I hope everyone is ready for more action!

[@TiltingT]

​@Emceemur you know I'm here for it!

[@mtshark7]

Yess Emceemur back in the fray!😊

[@Emceemur]

Strength in numbers, Arisen!! Lol its goin down all season long, dude. Im pumped for the finds.

[@CincyGameHunting]

An easy way to get rid of sharpie on games is to use a dry erase marker. Scribble the dry erase over the sharpie and then use the dry erase-eraser, and it should take care of it for you. Been using that trick with thrift store games for years.

[@Emceemur]

I've heard that and I've never got around to trying it! I definitely need to. And with all the D&D I play, there are plenty of dry erase markers around here.

[@E-Z_Gamerz]

Glad you’re back! The joysticks on the lites are easy to fix, just takes some patience. Hope all is well.

[@Emceemur]

Hope all is well with you too! Things are busy here but going well. I hope to have a lot more game hunt content from here to throughout the summer. And hopefully I can earn my Switch Thumbstick repair badge!

[@E-Z_Gamerz]

@@Emceemur while looking at the switch lite, the joystick on the right I believe is the e-z-ist to replace from what I remember. I have switched both of them before-been a while though. it’s just and again, while facing…the left joystick I believe you have to remove the motherboard. Much Respect Emceeeeahhh…

[@drewa3597]

good stuff

[@Emceemur]

It was a big day, no doubt. Im ready for the next!

[@DanofWar101]

Nice pickups! Especially that guy with the comics, he had amazing prices! At 25$ for the PSP, I would have taken a shot as they're starting to be up there in the 100$ on eBay. And 90% of the time, if there's an issue, it's super easy to fix. I know because I used to buy broken ones, repair them and sell them back years ago! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@Emceemur]

I probably shouldve just grabbed the PSP. My personal is a 3000 model but I could always use a spare. Probably needed a new battery was all..

[@jessie0437]

Hey Mur are u able to resurface the Xbox 1 games, I’ve always been told u can’t on those and Blu Ray

[@Emceemur]

So, with the JFJ resurfacer, I haven't successfully fixed a blu ray. (Xbone, wiiU etc) The machine says it works on those but it leaves a haze on them and the repairs just aren't successful. For those discs I would probably take them to the store I visited with the industrial grade buffer. So long as they were worth paying to fix of course.

[@travismiller8975]

Are you doing a panel at SFGE this year?

[@Emceemur]

Yes indeed. This will be an additional class for my KZbin Content Creator Strategies program. A lot has changed even in just 1 year on this platform and in addition to that, there's still so much to cover that we didn't get to last year. I may go back to a game hunting/collecting panel in 2025 but I've said just about all one can say on that topic. But by next year we will probably be due for an up to date look at market and collecting trends.

[@jessie0437]

Hey Mur just letting you know that GameStop is doing the 50% extra trade credit on video games right now, not sure what the end date is on it but the employee said they would still be doing it on Sunday

[@Emceemur]

I appreciate that! Those 50% deals stack for 60% with the pro card. Im not sure I have anything to trade but when I look I usually find stuff I forgot about. Are you heading up there?

[@BigRetroShow]

Great deals especially on that Switch. Hope it works!

[@Emceemur]

I share in that hope. We're gonna look at all this stuff in an upcoming update vid!

[@clivejbarrett]

G'Day mate. Great show. I hope your switch worked :) Just interested in what's going on over there with the game dev industry. Unfortunately down here, several dev studio's have fallen over in the past 6 months, or so, a few with people I worked with in the past, peeps that have been in the industry for 30 odd years and more. Interesting times my friend.

[@Emceemur]

There's quite a bit of buzz about that here too. I've read a lot of posts about studios closing and games being cancelled. Some think we're headed for another video game crash. Hard to imagine at this level though. It suggests we truly can have too much of a good thing. But I just can't fathom that!

[@steviefreakinc]

Any interest in doing a video with me?

[@Emceemur]

Yeah, I think we can make that happen. Perhaps I can email you and we can discuss the details?

[@steviefreakinc]

@@Emceemur sounds good my email is on my channel under about me.

[@bossjohnny1124]

$35 for a switch lite is a great price. The joystick isn't a hard fix. They are cheap online and fix it makes a great tool set for it!

[@Emceemur]

That's what I'm hearing! Hopefully I can get it ship-shape. My whole household has lites and you never know when you'll need a spare!

[@bossjohnny1124]

@@Emceemur Nintendo made the switch very easy to fix. I would say to switch lite is a little harder than a regular switch but still very much fixable. I've been wanting to do a custom job type deal but I'm waiting for one I find in a wild that's in rough shape

[@jessie0437]

Yeah I went last night and even brought some broken PS4 controllers and got 23 dollars a piece for those, almost $450 for a lot of stuff I had very little into

[@Emceemur]

That's wuts up!! I wish they still gave points for dollars traded. That was when we would really stick it to them. All my gen 8 consoles were free lol

[@jessie0437]

@@Emceemur Agreed

[@BanditsBest686]

can buy replacement parts for switches now from ali express, joysticks be damned LMAO

[@Emceemur]

Im seeing that, yeah! And it looks like just a ribbon cable and a plug. Who knows, it may not be above my pay grade!

[@CanadianRetro]

I was just thinking, when will I start seeing Nintendo Switch consoles in the wild. And then I saw this.... well done.

[@Emceemur]

I've seen a few so far. Some full price and one significantly damaged for $70. This one looks like it might have a chance. I figured I could declare it defective and trade it to GameStop and at least get my money back that way, worst case.

[@jessie0437]

If u have any copies of Madden 24 lying around, those are trading in for an insane amount

[@Emceemur]

I didn't actually buy 24. I did buy 23 out of respect to John Madden. Madden needs an overhaul. The matchmaking and ease of hacking has made MUT unplayable. I wish it wasn't that way because I really enjoy Ultimate Team.

[@GameCentralStationVideos]

I put an 1800 hours in Conan exiles in less than a year! Lol

[@Emceemur]

MAN. I believe it!! It's very addictive. I ended up getting off of it early on and it was a bit buggy but that's expected for its size. It was really fun to play. And it's expanded so much now it's almost overwhelming but I really wanna jump back in!

[@TB-TheGoldenAgeGamer]

a mean steamer lol

[@Emceemur]

Nothing better to start the morning with!

[@mukeshgoolcharan6121]

❤😊😊😊

[@Emceemur]

Mukesh is in the house!

[@WavesNGames]

Dude are you losing weight? $20 for that Wii was a great deal.

[@Emceemur]

I need to be! I'm down about 6 lbs I guess but I haven't been dieting or training. I'm about to begrudgingly get back to it though. Not getting any younger! Lol
