We are back with another retro game hunting episode! As always we game hunt at all the typical stops from flea markets, Goodwills and other thrift stores in the area. Also, we legit found this Nintendo DSi in the parking lot of a game store! Make sure to tune into the full video to see what happened. Not a ton in terms of sales on Ebay but we are about to get serious about buying and reselling online to get more funds for the game fund collection. Thank you all for coming along on my live video game hunting adventures and for watching episode 39 of the $10 Dollar Game Collection Challenge!

I think you did the right thing. At the end of the day it's a DSi. Hardly the most valuable hand held and it could've easily been lost by someone. Your hands are clean.

[@keithbeard5337]

I agree, I would have taken it in and asked the teller to hold on to it in case someone came back looking for it.

[@Willtendo2]

I've actually found a handful of game's in the middle of the street/sidewalks, I got my childhood copy of Mario Kart 64 when walking home from school and boom it was in the middle of the sidewalk. I believe that if it's in the middle of the street and no one is around then it's fair play. If someone is around I ask them once if it's theirs and if they say no I claim it. I definitely wouldn't have given that DSi to the store owner's as it wasn't hers either and she's probably just going to sell it online in 'for parts' condition.

[@donovanbradford8231]

months ago I found a copy of Pokemon Yellow in the trash while picking up the park. Took it home cleaned it and still playing it.

[@DoYouNerd]

Favorite gift was getting to uphold a tradition with my wife and her family of being able to get together for another year. We have a fantastic breakfast together and do our gift exchange and always play some sort of tabletop game--and it's always a blessing to be gifted another year to do this with them. Even more in crazy pandemic times like these. I really like the VHS holders--I'm always wanting to add them to our collection if I can think of someplace to put them and something to do with them. Glad to see you did the right thing--if something is found, in a parking lot especially--since it's very, very likely to have been dropped--the right thing is to turn it over and hopefully get it to its rightful owner.

[@yenterpriseonebay]

Once she said she was going to recycle it, I would have immediately taken it and at the very least sold it for parts or not working. My best gift was a 1/2" cordless impact wrench from Kobalt.

[@C.J.33]

I grew up with the SNES Junior, when the PS came out my parents said they wouldn't buy me a new console but that I could trade the SNES and games with accessories and do extra work around the house to work up towards it. At the time I thought it was a great option but since I have really regretted it. The memories I have playing that system and the nostalgia are crazy. So I've been on the lookout but always appear to be a day late or a dollar short whenever they come around. This series illustrates that problem well with having the funds and not needing over needing and not having and of course, needing to be at the right place at the right time.

[@lestforce4810]

Favorite gift this year was settlers of catan. It has become my favorite board game of all time.

[@111matt]

awesome to include the cleaning of the consoles.. showing the true work that goes into everything.

[@troywilliams6213]

You should’ve asked her to give it back if she was just gonna “recycle” it. That would still be worth $15 for parts minimum.

Dude thank you for all the helpful tips! I’m so hooked on the 10.00 series. Thank you for the amazing videos you provide!! Today for the first time I went to Salvation Army to look for some games inspired by you of course and found NFL head coach 09 for Xbox 360 for 3.00 and I already sold it on eBay for 45.00 + plus shipping cost to the buyer. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@craigdavidson5613]

Well, something similar happened to me last year. I went over to the local Tender Centre, and found just outside in the parking lot, a Nintendo Wii console, just abandoned there. I did what you did with the DSi, and inquired about it to the staff. The good people there said I could have it for free! It did not have cords nor controllers, but it still worked perfectly upon testing it out at home, and it even had a copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl inside. So in my case, I really was lucky.

[@superhappygamer1162]

[@tailsthegreenninja2003]

I honestly would have took the Nintendo DSI and repaired it and give it a 2nd life. Cause that's me! :)

[@Stoudman]

25:06 Not sure if you know this, but that little circle below the disc drive on the 360 is actually a release mechanism for the disc drive. They've had those for disc drives since they originally came out in computers back in the late 80's/90's. Just get a paperclip, straighten it out, and push it through that tiny hole, and the drive should open. No need to break it open.

[@Stoudman]

The bad news is I don't think the PS3 has something like that, because it's one of those drives that automatically sucks games in and spits them out, so it requires some kind of power to eject a disc.

[@jean-pierrejoubert6140]

So, three questions, three answers: 1. Thanks to my brother and a super awesome sales guy we were able to get a PS5 for Christmas. 2. For $1.50 I would've gotten the Zelda shield, but not for the shelf. I'd get it for my kids to play with. 3. I would've taken the DSI to the shop to see and probably would've ended up doing what you did, but I would prefer to ask if I could have it seeing as it's just being recycled anyway. There's still parts value there. Hope you had a great Christmas, Rick!

[@Stoudman]

Oh hell yeah, I'd love to see a video where you try to repair a GBC. Such a cool idea. The speaker also probably needs replacing, but unless you know how to use a soldering iron, that won't be possible. To be fair, you can get a soldering iron pretty cheap and learning how to use it isn't too terribly difficult, it's more a matter of being careful with it.

[@Jenger420]

Gameboy colors are the first consoles ive ever opened and repaired. Super simple, fun and easy. They are great to start tinkering around with. Speakers almost always go on them, get a new one off ebay and solder it in. That was my first soldering experience aswell. Didnt look pretty, but it worked!

[@chrislee8650]

Their’s a small little piece of plastic on the right side of the PS2 Slim that make the console register a disc is inside and the lid is closed. If it is broken it won’t spin. Open the lid and take a pin and see if the disc spins. If so take the top off and tape down the sensor and it will work.

[@ButtonDelight]

I think bringing it in was a good move. I know if I lost something, I would drive back to where I was last and hope for the best.

She's killing it when it comes to gifts aimed at my collection, always finding things that are a little harder to find so I can add them in.

[@RealmsCrossMyths]

Rick: "Welcome back to •episode nine of•…" My autistic logic: Is this part 2 of epidode nine…? I can never tell if my brain is less or more effective than anyone else's… It's like comparing a Kureg(?) coffee maker with a Tassimo(?) coffee maker… They both work… they just work… differently… Though I feel I'm a Tassimo. Not because it's better, but because it interprets barcodes to decide what needs to be done. Kureg does the same thing for all its drinks. Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, it does what it always does. Tassimo's barcodes, •if they wanted to go down that route,• could arguably program the machine to heat the water to a certain temperature, the speed to pour it at (something akin to slow filter to semi-simulate seeping), and such. I like to think I'm adaptable and produce great results, but not necessarily efficient in my methods. No, being inefficient doesn't mean the end result is bad; it means I consume more time esources getting a result than would be needed if done efficiently.

My favorite gift this year was a record player and speakers and here are a couple of tricks I use when going to Goodwills. 1. Check all cases! I've found about 3 copies of Wii sports inside of random game cases and that's an easy 20 bucks and 2. Check vinyl records. That's one of the main things I sell now a days and I have sold old albums I've found at goodwill for up to 100 dollars, they are a great way to make money and they go media mail.

Integrity is what you do when you think people aren't looking. I worked at a Walmart as a cart pusher for 5 years, terrible job, awful company to work for. I found tons of cellphones, tablets, DS and 3DS handhelds. No Vitas. Lots of wallets and purses and even a bag the store would put money in for the armored cars. Collectively, I found more than $500 people left sitting in the ATM machine. Everything got turned in. No one ever thanked me for it, no rewards. You could maybe make off with some, but then honestly, you are no better than those same people who try to shoplift or leave their trash in carts or leave them sitting all over the parking lot instead of using cart corrals. It had been said that that alone is a decent test of civilization, how people handle their carts. It's a hazard if you just ditch them, damage the cart, damage vehicles, cause accidents, because you felt like not doing one simple thing with something there for your convenience. Gotta say, people generally suck. So yes. You find something like that, you turn it in to the desk. They come back for it, you are on camera, you get pulled aside or your information handed over to whomever as a result, no one to blame but yourself. Its the right thing to do.
