[@yellowbe2003]

I've heard that the producers "stack" the lockers from time to time. This show is total bs.

[@yellowbe2003]

@Sharklops lol totally

[@mmelgoza1983]

They always embellish everything. The only reason I watch is just to see the interesting items. The stories are bs.

[@namnambulu]

Pat the NES Punk look up his channel he shows the games off better let's you get a better evaluation

[@AlienExorcist]

Pat the NES Punk Was this a recent episode that I can find on On Demand or Hulu? I'd like to see it for their banter and reactions.

[@bertha10000]

Pat could have a whole podcast just shitting on storage wars and I'd watch it.

I used to watch the show with Frank back when Barry was on - he carried the show just by himself. After he left, so did our interest.

Barry was awesome!

I watched it for Brandi. Made me wonder how a guy that looked like a meth addict could get a woman like that.

"Oh shit boys, NES-001 the very first Nintendo. That has to be worth $10,000"

That guy (Mark Baleto) is dead now. Shame he wasn't a 001 model, he would have lasted a lot longer.

It's hilarious because a couple of months ago some idiots on Neogaf were trying to find out if some VHS tapes were worth money or not.

[@thoughtprocessRI]

Yeah. Oh shiitt boys

[@luiscamus4954]

I love Ian's reactions to everything in this podcast

[@Hijynx87]

I think it's more of a reaction to the pain he is going through with his nerves.

[@litigioussociety4249]

Does Ian feel pain, or does pain feel Ian?

[@luiscamus4954]

Hijynx87 That and hearing someone would charge more than 2 dollars on common atari 2600 games and 300 dollars on an Nes and some vhs tapes

[@TokyoXtreme]

I have always appreciated the editing of these clips. There is not even a single second of bullshit; you guys start immediately on a sentence, and end the video the millisecond the final sentence is finished. I wish this were a common trend on KZbin, but alas I can't think of any other channels that do it like you guys. Great stuff!

[@SpankinDaBagel]

There are some political channels that do this format as well. Secular Talk comes to mind.

[@philipdumas4435]

Ian, very glad to see you active again. Thank you for powering through and continuing to help give out great content along with Pat. You guys are fantastic!

[@mario64remix]

I hate storage wars. They always lie about the value and it makes people think they own gold.

[@SwirlEP]

mario64remix I remember when in an early episode (before the retro gaming boom) one of them put a $200-250 value on an opened but CiB SNES. That was the first episode I ever saw and the last. Then there was the rookie who thought his first model NES was a development kit because of the 1 in the serial #. I remember a bunch of people in my circle laughing at that.

[@mario64remix]

Not knowing the value is one thing, but downright making shit up (like your second example) is even worse. It's the famous NES 001 story all over again.

[@jarvindriftwood]

I didn't mind it at the beginning. I'll admit, I live in a very cheap area so I gave them some benefit of the doubt on pricing. Dave was always notoriously bad for overpricing shit, though. I lost a bit of interest when Barry left and moreso when Dave returned as Rene's demeanor changed around that time and Jared and Brandi were on far less episodes. But yeah, the estimates seemed to keep going higher and higher. I'd much rather just watch American Pickers now.

[@mario64remix]

Jarvin Driftwood, I stopped watching these kind of shows many moons ago after I realized they are fake. I just think it's a weird concept to price stuff randomly found in a locker on tv, because basically, that's all it is. I wouldn't say I live in a cheap area but even the most expensive items don't hold a candle to what I've seen on tv lol.

[@pigs18]

That turntable [that I haven't inspected and haven't had a chance yet to test] is worth $200. That jewelry [which I haven't yet had appraised and have no way of determining the cut and clarity with the naked eye] is worth $1200. That coat [which I don't even yet know the clothier or material from which it's made] is worth $300. That coffee maker....

[@audrisampson]

Wow, I recently tried to sell a 300 game Atari 2600 collection with a lot of high end stuff and got offers around 700. Would love to find the people buying at those evaluations LOL. (Needless to say, ended up keeping the collection and continueing to collect)

[@Aeonova]

I realized it was fake (hadn't really put any thought into it before this) when they opened one locker up, and all of the moving boxes has duct tape covering up the logos on the boxes. No sane person would ever cover up brand logos of the boxes they picked up to move/store stuff in, except for... producers of the show that saw that as being easier than blurring out all of the copyrighted logos. Yeah. If you ever watch this show, keep an eye out for that sort of thing again.

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Well this is interesting. I'll have to watch for that in the future.

[@calvinthedestroyer]

Yeup, I bet they salted the units too

[@freemonk3]

I haven't watched any #CUPodcast in a few months (it was just weird Pat talking to himself), but having Ian back is great. Glad to see him well again and the banter between Pat and Ian is lovely. Keep it up guys!

[@Anthoneycfs]

People believe these shows.. That's the most frightened

[@pxpin89]

I think dudes that have been outed that troll a video to comment on everything is scary. Scary how much time your fat ass has to respond to all these comments on a video that no one really gives a damn about in the first place. It was just entertaining to watch pat and ian destroy the scene.

[@Kanel__Bulle]

Fluffy regularly goes into Luna's and Ian would recognise him...so you could head over the the fluffy gamers channel and ask him yourself, he is a youtuber..

[@Chillrah]

I don't think you counts as a youtuber unless you get over 10000 views on videos, that's what you need to start making any money according to the new youtube rules.

[@Chillrah]

If you come and call yourself a "KZbinr" and you're not even making money from it, you're an idiot. You might be aspiring to become a KZbinr, but you're definitely not there yet. There are exceptions, as an example 4-8Productions that has a lot of views, but they didn't make money for years because they were flagged as trying to cheat the system by having a fan click the videos hundreds of times. Long story short, "KZbinr" is a profession. Having a KZbin channel is a hobby.

[@markula_4040]

I unsubscribed awhile ago but I still pop in from time to time. Nice to see Ian doing better. Real star of the podcast.

[@2uitdoesntmatter]

markula I'm new here what was wrong with Ian ?

[@markula_4040]

Don't know the exact details but Ian was sick for a few months and couldn't participate in the podcast. He didn't have insurance and had to set up a gofundme page.

[@320zombie]

Could I pay off my house and put my 3 unborn children through college if I sell my loose copy of Combat for 2600?

[@UltimateDrDoom]

320zombie Well. See. I gotta store it and use shelf space. So. Best I can offer is one unborn child's community college experience.

[@GaffsNotLaffs]

[@stakfallt2040]

~9:46 @Ian, LOL! Such good trolling skill, not just the shout out but the cutesy little smile lol and on a side note, love the shirt Pat!

[@dallas6689]

He uploaded individual videos of the games and some of the prices he is asking on super common stuff is outrageous

[@PatTheNESpunk]

Have any examples?

[@jucedaddy]

My local pawn shop charges outrageous prices on common titles. Hell, I think the $40 I got for a disc only Xbox 360 NCAA Football 2014 is outrageous. But if you've got customers willing to pay that price, is it really outrageous?

[@slhoffman8]

Yeah, it kind of is.

[@chrisr.2410]

I didn't realize Storage Wars was still being produced.

[@SteffsGarage]

Those storage shows suck. They are part of the reason you go to the flea market and search clist and see an NES for $100+ with no cables or games

[@wildernessgames]

lol totally, Nes have always been $12-15 until recently.

[@solan417]

I see them do that with guitars some times, "$2000 all day" for something brand new that will be $499

[@Biscuit-Triscuit]

"Stadium Events? That's about $4,000,000." "It says PAL, does that effect anything?" "Oh yeah! It's at least $5,000,000 now!"

[@HoosierDynamics]

Love seeing the Failure 'Dave Hester" in Pats flea market madness videos!

[@TheRuinMetalBand]

It kinda kills my spirit and love for collecting that the masses see these kind of wild exagerrated prices on Storage Wars and Buzzfeed articles and think every Pokemon Card and PS2 game is worth a thousand bucks. What a buzzkill man.

[@landonwest8948]

Thank you Pat and Ian for the much needed reality check for these idiots! Love you guys!!! You are the best!

[@denblackie-superneoturbome9802]

I did a YT search after this, There are multi-part video's showing almost all games and prices they are asking for it now. Should make a reaction video on that ! Haha.

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

shows like storage wars, pickers, antiques road show, etc are cancer. they've caused garage sale prices, thrift store prices, and pretty much anything in the used market to rise significantly. they haven't done anything good

[@BigHotDuckies]

Antiques road show is better, most shit they show is barely worth anything, rare that something is worth a decent amount and even rarer that something is worth big

[@Nightenstaff]

At least with a few of those shows they give you an interesting look at the history of the items. If anyone is fixing a value to an item based on a reality TV show, they've already failed. The price of an item is what someone will give you for that item; not what you want for said item.

[@Jay-mo3mg]

Doctor Feinstone well now they ripping you of, instead of you ripping them off.

[@jarvindriftwood]

They've done far less than the internet and global marketing have, imo, which is the root of the problem (and obviously a double edged sword as they have some good points.) Everyone with a smart phone can now be a pro scalper from scanning barcodes and have "expert" knowledge due to google, ebay, etc. The global market is okay for some stuff, but it's far from the end all, be all. Especially when there's so many people too lazy to put shit up on ebay. As for those shows not doing any good, I think Pickers and Road Show have done a decent job overall going over what some stuff is. Compared to Storage Wars where you get like 3 or so things appraised and most of them are either so rare you'll never see one or some joke item that's not worth much.

[@bluearmy893]

People (*cough* NintendoAge) argue that game chasers have done the same thing.

[@golden_eldorado]

I only watch this kind of shows for educational purposes. There are a lots of facts, info and explanations about so many different things. It never crossed my mind the idea that any of this shows were real.

[@SYratherripped]

Good to see Ian looks better, doesn't look like he's in as much pain as when he needed to record with the heating pad. :)

[@stupidmovies85]

Good to have you back Ian 😊

[@audrisampson]

I just watched the video where the guy was talking about what he got for the 2600 collection. From what he showed was all low end bulk. He did mention Montezuma's Revenge which can get close to 100 but but it mainly looked like the collection was already cherry picked bulk. Got a good laugh in his video when he thought Apollo Skeet Shoot was super rare and worth a lot of money.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

i saw that episode and i was thinking the whole time; "Lucky Son of a...GUN..."

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

I think the worth is more than 43.000,- It's insane how much is there. But if the guy is going to unload these in bulk it will be less. I bet there are some more gems in there. It's a whole locker full of games. He could start 4 retro video game stores. It's alot. Looks like 5.000 gaming items. Average 10 usd easy. (because gems and hardware) Are we all insanely jealous? yes. The valuations might be off, but as a whole. This is a motherload.

[@shawnsurmick6081]

The vast majority of Atari games are less than $3 each! This isn’t 2003 anymore! That speculative market died a slow death. Even rare Atari titles have lost a lot of their value...

[@ViewpointProd]

the bubblebobble had a NES to famicom adapter (72 to 60 pin) it looks like, or it would be a "repro" shell with a famicom cart on the inside, and the adaptor

[@tomassmith374]

I'm a 12 year old who collects Atari 2600 games because nes games are too expensive.

[@user-nz4kr6ix5b]

[@MyNamesNotLars1]

Good luck

[@vaselineto69]

I like that the box of sports games has a 10 dollar average price per game. Also all the rare stuff was just sitting with dirty crap.

[@mirabilis]

Ian seems to feel better. Good!

[@nottrash9034]

The thing that kills me about Storage Wars is that if they sprinkle the gold mine, that means that they either have a key for the lock on the locker and just cut it anyway, or that they literally cut the lock in order to get in and sprinkle the gold mine, and then put a NEW lock just for it to be cut on camera.

[@mongooseonaunicycle2056]

Ian "looks like a box I've tripped over in the back of lunar a million times" Rene "that's fifty thousand dollars right there"

[@neverwin2518]

This reminded me of the episode where Darrell "stumbled upon" a binder of power 9 MTG cards.

[@Cerebraldoom]

i was waiting for this as soon as I watched the episode of storage wars. God I hope he tweets you Pat

[@dkres82]

There are actually some VHS films that are worth money, especially Horror films that haven't gotten the DVD/Blu Ray treatment.

[@DumbGuysTalkAboutSmartStuff]

Ian's hair and beard has become epic

[@stseantmusic]

Sunset Riders... I had that game and it was a masterpiece of 2 player shooter!

[@gamerguy425]

I remember the last storage wars vid you guys did where Pat was going through all the buyers on the show he's met and just casually mentioned, "oh yeah Renee's a peice of trash" and casually moved on without breaking a sweat. lol, I literally can't even watch the show now without wondering the story behind that.

[@jucedaddy]

Both these guys going to pretend they don't know who Fluffy is.

[@pxlsicle]

I know him, chat him up in the store, and had no interest in making anything personal. I simply disagreed with the assessments.

[@jucedaddy]

I appreciate that sentiment. He has stated they didn't show everything in the show, including a Panzer Dragoon Saga. Fluffy also bought a NES Bonk's Adventure off Rene which I think came from this lot. No telling what was in all those boxes if the producers decided not to film reactions to those 2 titles.

[@MrPhillipbraden]

Ian's a good dude down to earth. Genuinely a nice guy. I love going to the store to see what they get almost on a weekly basis.

[@pinfarmer]

I remember when they did this with some trash undesirable pinball machines on pawn stars.

[@pmcKANE]

Great to see Ian around again.

[@Treg]

My local Savers thrift store keeps bringing out 2600 games for fucking 8 bucks each. Bad news for Atari collectors like myself!

[@OmegaSpecs]

Treg when I see a common sports game for genesis at like 5 bucks I just shake my head

[@RustyX2010]

Treg yeah they started to get "smart" about pricing thing now.like a bag of legos that used to cost $4 is now priced at $30 at Savers!!!

[@DetroitAlan01]

Ian appears to be well on the road to recovery. Glad to see.

[@wantsome480]

Back in the late 90's I had a ton of video games. I had a turbo grafx with about 20 games a sega genesis with about 30 games and snes with about 50 games. I sold all of my shit for pennies to buy weed. I sold musha for $5. I sold my entire turbo collection for $50.

[@Zazzaro703]

wantsome480 traded my stuff in for new games getting ripped off. Would get a treasure trove of games each Christmas and threw the boxes right in the trash after opening, never even occurred to me to keep the boxes it was just a hassle to get the game in and out 😒. That was late 80s early 90s and one of my biggest regrets.

[@zachb4505]

oh man those old days when everything was so cheap or free where did they go.

[@hulkamaniac25]

[@purplepumpkin3772]

I was literally trying to find a heavy sixer this morning ( I wanted to relive the glory days ), and being that there are no good flea markets near me, I decided to check ebay... and holy crap lol. I guess this is why the prices are jacked right now.

i saw that one storage ward where they reckoned they found a delorean that hadn't been touched for 20 years and it started up straight away. There's absolutely no chance that car hadn't been prepared in advance. There's no reason to believe the entire show isnt staged. it would not follow a compelling narrative unless they stage almost all of it.

[@UltimateDrDoom]

TM14 DUCK I mean, if it's not totally staged, I would be too. But the final SW total is overpriced BS.

[@MortalFigz14]

UltimateDrDoom bro it's just a tv show who actually cares how much they price it and plus pat was in pawn stars and it's basically the same thing and that total was just rounded on their top of their head cuz it would take forever to price every single one of those games and it would probably take weeks or even months so I don't see why people are mad for just a price and plus anyone can price on things whatever they want cuz it's a free country

Hey pat Rene made a pick up video on that episode of storage wars

[@trumpeter811]

why does pats side look like it has a grey filter over top of it?

[@thomasriccardi8561]

They have videos on their store channel and they price everything out.. and for most of the prices.. are RIDCULOUSLY HIGH! You can look on ebay and get better prices (ex: One game Devils crush they list at 80 bucks and you can get it for HALF THAT on ebay!)
