Game Hunting in Sydney Australia | Cash Converters & Thrift Stores!

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

Ps1 Games are becoming harder to find in the wild, unless you would be there on the day a shipment comes in, you would be out of luck. The fact you managed to find a couple is actually amazing to begin with so congratz on that.

[@TeamRetro]

Yeah it sure is hard hey! I did get lucky this last week with 50% off select ticketed items at a Cashies and walked away with some bargains. I posted that over on Instagram @ 1UpEmily

[@real_dave_brown]

That boxed NES is something I'm kina looking for. But I'm holding out for one with the zapper. Great video👍

[@electricadventures]

Nice to see there are some places around Sydney where there are games. We now only have one Cash Converters down here and they charge way too much. Other than that there are some charity stores and the Tip shops, so things are pretty thin on the ground.

[@jayw5619]

Awesome! That place after cash converters looked amazing! I agree too, the thrill of the chase makes it worth it! Hope you're well 😊

[@TeamRetro]

I know I love the thrill haha

[@005AGIMA]

Yep the only place to find bargains these days is op shops (often in the Video/Music section if they don't know any better) or if you get lucky at a garage sale direct from the original owner. Everyone else is now after "nostalgia tax" in the profit which sucks.

[@TeamRetro]

Very true my friend very true. Luckily these days I have traded games with friends. I've found that also another cheap way to make use of the thrift finds I have to trade up the value to something i've wanted. Original owner stuff oh my lord it's the jackpot for me when it happens hey :)

[@005AGIMA]

@@TeamRetro Original owner stuff sure is. I picked up 10 games that I was desperate for (they came as a collection originally) all from an original owner. Granted that was via ebay, so being original owner is even more rare. ebay is great but "too easy" sometimes, and it's also....feels like cheating. And can be full of people flipping for profit (which is fine as it does help us find those ultra rare items in all fairness).

[@nicholasnewland3490]

loved the Inspector Gadget cartoon as a kid , love the live action movies also! , great pickups :D

[@TeamRetro]

Thanks mate. I loved the cartoon so much I still have my clamshell vhs

[@harryandy44]

Great finds, really enjoy some retro hunting vids. Thanks for the video!

[@TeamRetro]

Thank you for watching! I love to make the most of my time and go hunting when possible in other states. Hoping to have another hunting video up by Sunday which will be so good! If it's huge i'll split it into two videos

[@PS3GamingScotland]

I'm liking the new format. Always enjoy these type of videos. Please do more vlogs of your travels. Great vlog! :)

[@TeamRetro]

Awesome thanks mate I appreciate it :)

[@PS3GamingScotland]

No problem anytime :)

[@potterj09]

Nice I worked at Cashies for 5yrs in Fairfield. We rarely had vintage consoles but did have some some original mint C64 units now n then.

[@Runnyoutdoors]

Awesome videy👍🏻 liked and full watch

[@TeamRetro]

Thanks mate! It's a shorter one but it was fun to film. Always talking to myself people look at me so weird haha! New video coming this Sunday Aussie time of something REALLY cool!

[@Runnyoutdoors]

Retro Gamer Girl lol .. I know the feeling.. Awesome channel & fantastic content .. Gave you a sub and gonna check the rest of your channel out.. Awesome job 💪🏻

[@arick99]

Cashies looks great.. I know of them because of dankpods.. and I'm going to subscribe here, seems a cool channel

[@TeamRetro]

Thanks mate have a great day!

[@nanodisco]

Do you already own a Namco Arcade Stick? $29 is a very decent price as it goes for at least double the price on eBay without the box. And it looked like it was in very good condition. Still one of best fighting sticks available. I even use it for my OG XBox.

[@TeamRetro]

Yeah I did consider it but I was only travelling with a small bag and had no way to bring it home :( Thanks for watching :-) Have a great day!

[@euroretrogamer204]

Woow, I better get my soldering iron and fix that PU on my Colecovision, that's an insane price. MACH is a pretty fun PSP game. Great video !

[@TeamRetro]

It looked it bit expensive or was it a good price? Hot damn regret now

[@euroretrogamer204]

@@TeamRetro If my currency converter is right it's insanely high ($239 -> €150 ?), generally a unboxed one would go for € 30-40 . I love your videos by the way, Cool to see like-minded people grinding the charity shops on the other side of the world ;)

[@pappabob4276]

Those are good deals for the PSX games it's hard finding them that cheap in Melbourne even the burner games are like $20, hopefully my luck can change. As always love the content and keep doing what you are doing

[@TeamRetro]

Yeah I thought so too. I didn't actually have either on them (now checked since home) and pretty chuffed! $2.50 ea is a bargain as like you said they are normally $20+ each in other stores. Thank you for the support and encouragement on my channel. I'll continue to make quality videos 2-3 times per week :)

[@disruptfam]

Great video em! Love the ol gamehunt videos

[@TeamRetro]

[@seagramrip187]

Retro Gamer Girl cool yeah come when it’s summer it’s freezing now :(

[@elvisthegamecollector3764]

Didn't know they had cash converters in aus, thought they were just UK based...

[@seagramrip187]

We got them everywhere

[@luke2320]

That PS2 controller was a good pickup also why did you not pick up that kingdom hearts?

[@TeamRetro]

Great price on that game however my friend 2BusyGamers (on KZbin) just gifted me the game :-) so hopefully someone else will pick it up from the store and love it

[@mukeshgoolcharan6121]

Good stuff see you on the next one

[@TeamRetro]

[@Mikedadof2]

Do you still collect, I'm on the hunt for max panye 1,2 ps2 and Syphon Filter

[@TeamRetro]

[@RetroRescuers]

[@TeamRetro]

Cash converter is the best the things the all ways cheap

[@wilsonmoreno8378]

Muito bom o video parabens e os preços estão bons aqui no Brasil é tudo caro e complicado onde o Socialismo entra aumenta os impostos e aumenta a pobreza e a miseria colecionar games no Brasil é complicado e caro

[@TeamRetro]

Lamento saber que é caro coletar. Obrigado por assistir

[@paulbradley705]

Ask them to remove stickers .

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

Most of outlets closed down

[@TeamRetro]

Not good I wish there where more stores in Sydney

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

@@TeamRetro they're not. Making money because too many stores and people kept selling junk old fans,cd, dvd but less people buying

[@nickbarnett8875]

Don’t you just hate it when companies stick a massive sticker on the front👊🏽

[@TeamRetro]

Haha I know! I don't like the cashies ones they are the worse to remove! That original price on the Inspector Gadget though will stay as I have this urge to keep the old tags on the PS1 games :)

[@nickbarnett8875]

Retro Gamer Girl I’ve just bought unravel two for switch. 👍🏽
