@@PatrickthePicker Yeah man, but no sweat: Youre getting a good deal whenever i say it. Cant speak for anyone else.

[@triforcelink]

Problem is, everyone has their own definition of a “good deal” Is it good because you’re paying less than original retail? Is it good because the item is in mint condition? Is it good because it’s $1 cheaper than eBay or Amazon? Or is it good because you can make a killing flipping it?

[@jessewarren9177]

50 each even for sealed switch games is retail. Alot of people don't realize that Walmart sells all of their switch games for 49.99 when they come out. It's not on the website but in store only. I always pick mine up from them.

[@wakiez8995]

Yuuuup I work at Walmart and all brand new games are always cheaper then sometimes they instantly go on rollback for $40 but for a short time

[@ANGELSURS]

He was trying to collect tax 😧

[@jfh.8064]

Switch games are around $50 when they first come out but pretty quickly wind up selling in the $35-$40 range. They are just so common and commonly sold by people after they play them too. There’s a lot of people who try to sell switch games and just think they are always $50 forever.

[@tangomango8474]

Switch games come out for 60 bucks and sometimes they do retain their value of 50 dollars for years. It's just that Nintendo games have good re sell price and they never go below 50 at retail

[@aaronf4178]

These people are fucking crazy lmao I've never seen you pass on so much stuff. good call

[@angelsvintagetreasures]

The guy with the 'new' Pokemon games seemed very sketchy to me. "I have so many". Why is that? New in the box? Really? It's still fun to go to the flea market and get a feel for what's there. I've been to many. There used to be one in Santa Cruz at the Skyline Drive In I've been to a couple of times. But that was eons ago.

[@sunnyhsu8669]

As a game reseller, I can tell those Pokémon games are legit but I would never buy from people like them. It’s very easy to source these games from big retailers at the right moments when they go on clearance. As a general rule for reselling new switch games, they would 95% of the time need to be under $20 to be profitable.

[@jfh.8064]

Yep exactly. Def buying them for $35-$40 and then selling them for $50-$60 acting like that’s still the cheapest you can find them. Lots of big switch games you can find for under $40

[@BintonB]

how do you think that guy obtained all those?

[@UrSammich]

@@BintonB More then likely stole them. Considering that's a lot of games and electronics, it looks too sketchy as fuck. I used to live in California and one time when I was visiting with my mom we went to a flee market in the local Orange County area and passed by a seller selling brand new Macy's clothes and my mom works for Macy's. She told me they were stolen or most likely stolen and its a common thing to see. Same with counterfits as well. So anytime you see a large quantity like that, I'd second guess first unless they have retro games and consoles in the mix. Then its possible they might be a video game mom and pop selling excess. I doubt this was the case.

[@AuctionUp]

Look at those palm tress and blue skies. Such a different scene than hear in Pennsylvania. At least we get blue skies sometimes. My channel will have a lot of flea market visits this year.

[@jfh.8064]

Definitely not a big fan of trying to source at flea market type situations. Everyone there has their stuff priced at eBay prices or higher

[@lawmancomics9309]

It's rough finding a flea market that buyer don't think they are on eBay. They see it on eBay and if it's $30-35 they want $25-$20 for it. When they tell me " I could sell it on eBay for more" I always tell them to "Go do it then, what are you out here for" 😅. Thanks for the video Matt

[@antoniotorres3000]

So then its a good deal since you dont have to pay shipping, taxes, and still wait to arrive..Resellers always crying about high prices when in reality its a good deal for the person that needs it or wants it and not planning on reselling.

[@lawmancomics9309]

@@antoniotorres3000 that is correct it is a good price for someone that doesn't resell. I'm just saying it's easy to put something on a table and sell it,. Then to go find it, buy it, take pictures, test it, package it and ship it. It's more than just picking it up and selling it. Once I paid $25 for a PlayStation 4 remote, fair price right and when I got it home it didn't even work. On eBay I will have to make sure it works and test it in order to sell it for the price that is actually worth or I'm possibly going to get a bad feedback for it. Can't give a bad feedback to someone selling at a flea market.

[@jimarr4468]

FYI the cheap wire grocery carts are the way to go to swap meet, add a file box on bottom and you are set. I fill mine up 3 times at my swap meet. That is my jam.

[@brencosales9591]

Our carboot sales (UK version of flea market) are back mid April and hopefully will be a lot of sellers as most need the money after a year of lockdowns, normally the Saturday 7am one has 300-500 sellers and the lunchtime one about 150 sellers. Main Sunday two have about 200 sellers at each. Can't wait to get to hear that old phrase "that sells for 50 on ebay so you're getting a good deal for 20" 😂

That Jordan card was red hot not too long ago. I don't think he was overpricing it, it's just that it's cooled off. It was 50-65 in early February.

[@t-squared6406]

those cards are mass produced,even short prints,legends,etc!

[@C.Baumann]

@@t-squared6406 the ratio was about one in every two boxes, and people love Jordan. Less than 9000 graded by PSA, and under 1500 are 10s. PSA 10s were selling for over 2k. That number probably won't crack 1750. Low pop will determine the raw market on iconic cards.

[@mattballin13]

I love these videos. I'm a reseller myself and sell a lot of similar stuff to you. I've always stayed away from flea markets, but finally went last weekend. The prices were awful. A couple of the stalls had nice people and decent prices, but most were wanting retail for garbage. Some of the people with their video games were really crazy. The stuff clearly had been sitting outside or out in the sun too long and they were expecting ebay prices. They'll never sell that stuff. I don't understand why they even try selling at a flea market. Anytime I hear "price charting" or "ebay" by one of the sellers, I walk away. It was really clear that these people have been trying to sell the same stuff for months or years even 🤣 I wasn't even there just to resell, but also wanted to find some cool stuff for myself. I could probably open up my own stall and undercut most sellers by half with their crazy prices.

Switch guy probably got all them new with trade ins thru eb games but asking retail at a garage sale no deals is pretty lame Put them slightly below retail and do deals as a reseller personally thats what i do posting online local.

It’s likely that he bought them all for around $35-$45 range and is selling them for $50-60 acting like that’s still retail. When switch games come out, they are $60, but $50 at Walmart. And then in a few months the games can be found for as low as $40 and eventually $35. Even Mario, Zelda, etc the big titles. So he could easily have bought most of those games for anywhere around $35-40 and is selling them all for $50+.
