I Bought A $750 Mystery Games Box From A Retro Video Game Store, Here's What I Got.

Usually I find these random video game lots from eBay, and we've definitely done a lot of those before. But recently I decided to buy one of these mystery game boxes directly from a specialty retro game store called Double Jump Video Games. They're based in Vancouver Washington, and they offer these on their website. So I ordered the $750 box, told them I was looking for CIB PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, and this is what I got! Not bad if you ask me, which I'm not sure if you were. I'm only the description down here. I can't actually hear you.

Thank you so much for your order man!! I wanted to let everyone know that this was purchased during our cyber Monday sale, so typically there wouldn’t be such a huge discount on the box, as we were doing 15% off. We still try to put more value in than spent, but this was a special sale. :)

[@MysticRyan]

No problem Cooper! Huge thanks to you and your hard working crew! Just a quick correction: I made sure to order this after the sale was over to support the store. If my payment was reduced please let me know and I'll pay the difference!

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

@@MysticRyan We had extended the sale from just Monday all the way until Wednesday since we had some website issues causing the site to be down for a bit due to increased traffic. I remember personally packing this order, and thought it was awesome, because it was our first mystery box over $250 I think. Your order was a huge support and this video helps even more! I hope you enjoy, and thanks again!!

[@d-tech3190]

The DVD case you had Stuntman in is a rental case. They were mainly used in Blockbuster (which used to rent out PSX/PS2 games!). You can see a small shaft on the inside of the case near the front. A plastic bar would go into that shaft and would actually lock the case, preventing you from opening it. The reason was to protect from thieves pretending to be browsing, and stealing the game/movie discs while nobody's looking, putting the empty case back on the shelf. When you actually rented the game/movie the employee had a special tool that was used to remove that bar, allowing you to open the case when you took it home. I still have a couple of those cases; on the last couple of months before Blockbuster closed down for good they were selling all their stock for dirt cheap and I bought a few dozen DVDs.

[@originalscreenname44]

I was just about to say that. As a former Blockbuster employee, that was definitely the same cases we had for DVDs and games we had in the store. The problem was that they weren't that great of a deterrent since a thief with a sharp knife to cut the spine or a strong enough magnet could easily get into the case, especially if you worked in a busy store with minimal employees working.

[@timelymirror7826]

that's basically what the GameCube case is

[@originalscreenname44]

I live right next to the physical store that he got this from in Vancouver (DoubleJump). They have decent prices and I pretty much only go here these days. Snagged a mint copy of Futurama on PS2 from them for a really decent price just a few weeks ago. Really great place - favorite thing is they actually rate their game's quality correctly (poor/good) and distinguish between Greatest Hits, Part of a Set versions, etc. for collectors. They had that copy of Romancing Saga for PS2 on their shelf for awhile and almost bought it once or twice. Ryan stole it haha! Also that Tactics Advance box is beautiful and if I'd have known they had that it would not be in Ryan's box haha. While it sucks that Ryan is kinda ruining the secret here, this is a place that deserves more business. $900 value out of a $750 box is nothing to sniff at. Good vid!

[@MiamiSunrise]

Double Jump did the deed here. $900 worth of goodies for $750? That is the move right there. Virtual Boy game was a sincere surprise. Thanks for making this, like watching someone open gifts on christmas day. Pickups videos like these are a lot of fun.

[@Chronis67]

And that is $900 based on Price Charting. Had to be over $1000 based on their sticker prices.

[@dxtremecaliber]

[@ohletusdream]

I might be mistaken but I believe the "weird frosted" case for Stuntman is from rental places like Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, etc. I used to work at Blockbuster and we received the original artwork and discs in those amaray cases for movies and games. The cases had a stick locking device that we would feed into the holes at the bottom-right of the case and would travel up the inside of the opening side of the case to prevent theft. When people rented them or bought them, we would unlock them with a magnet that was bolted on the drawers near our registers. When they returned them back to the stores after renting them, we would stick the magnetic locks back in. In most instances if you see cases like that, they came from either video and game rental stores or people/companies who bought those amaray cases in bulk for cheap. Hope this helps.

[@michaelalto3319]

I love these videos! Don’t stress about not moving fast enough or talking too much Ryan, I love finding out more about these games I’ve never heard of

[@latenightgamer6147]

Love this video. This is your best unboxing video by far! So cool to see your genuine excitement. Can't wait for the next one.

[@austinlewallen3862]

These are the videos that made me follow you! You put out great content. I’m not interested in half the games that hype you up but your passion makes it so much fun to watch. Also learning the values of the obscure games is awesome. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@griffinkeiser2014]

I always love when a new game unboxing video is uploaded. Fantastic as always Mystic!!

[@woogaloo]

Really enjoyed this - don't fuss about going too long. It's enjoyable to watch someone excited about opening new games! That was a great mix of stuff - especially with the GBA, Vita and VirtualBoy stuff (probably my favorites).

Nice to see another unboxing video, these don't come very often but these are easily some of the most enjoyable videos. It's always so interesting to see what you'll get.

Great video and I think the comments you do are fantastic. It's always fun (at least for me) to hear opinions about games and specially about retro ones. I personally wouldn't be happy with this particular box but it wasn't "tailored" for me and what I understood was that there were lot of options to customize what'll be in it so that's great.

That sounds like a way for a retro store to give him an awesome box and get an increase in business and then screw Mystic's fans over. Please don't do this.

They would just play it up for the camera and publicity. You might be entertained by fiction masquerading as reality but it isn't very honest.

@@Arc0tR4m4th0rn It's I think the only game what would justify getting a Virtual Boy, although I recommend just using an emulator, because the red screen all the time right in front of your eyes is tiresome and not a great experience and the game anyways is not a virtual reality 3D depth showcase like that one boxing game is or Mario tennis.

Yeah, there is no way in hell they're selling these boxes at a loss. If the games were worth the prices assigned to them, they would just sell them themselves.
