I paid $1,000 for this blind box of video games.

One of my buddies was selling his game collection so, without thinking, I bought it all for $1,000. He accepted thinking I overpaid but we'll see about that in this unboxing video.

[@kbramlett6877]

John, If you look very closely at the lower-left corner of the label on X-Men for the NES, right below the Seal of Quality, there is a controller code that from what I remember unlocks a secret room or dialog. What makes that interesting is that the code was right in front of our faces this entire time.

[@JohnRiggs]

I never noticed!

[@derrickward6853]

​@@JohnRiggsprobably didn't notice because nobody plays that crappy game more than once.

Nice of John to help a buddy out, looks as through it was part of a once formidable collection. Most of the high value stuff has been picked through it seems. I was hoping he'd open a box and it would be a bunch of rare stuff.

When I saw that Gauntlet II cart, instantly brought back memories! We got our NES when I was 4 years old, and I remember when I was 5 or 6, we played the absolute heck out of Gauntlet II. Excellent video!

[@JoshBattin]

Thank you John! I've always felt iffy about Price Charting values. E-bay sold is basically the best estimation tool we have. Unless something weird happens with a franchise or something that spikes or dips value. Now to finish watching the video. I stopped the moment that message popped up!

[@bryanobrien2726]

Yeah , pricecharting doesn't filter it's results beyond keywords . A lot of sellers put CIB in all of their titles , even incomplete items which causes real CIB games to be generally priced too low .

[@eversosleight]

Simon's Quest and Dragon Warrior for the win imo Great stuff, glad you lent a helping hand.

[@thenamelessavenger]

That looked like so much fun. Great find!

[@Nelbroth]

Fun video, John. Thanks!

[@charlieg6913]

I don't think Kirby's Dreamland, Metroid 2 and The Lion King for Gameboy are worth anywhere near $121 but I still think you made out well and more importantly, helped a friend which is great in itself. It was fun to watch. Makes me a bit depressed because I sold a ton of my games when I needed cash a few years ago. Almost my entire collection of sealed PS1 games. Games that I loved growing up, a few a which were highly graded. It will bother me forever, but hey, games are for playing and life goes on. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂

Woah that’s a dang good haul! A bunch of the labels were worn so for a perfectionist collector some games might not be good for a collection on the shelf but for the player or someone not caring about label condition an overall great haul

Loved the video, John! I don’t know why maybe it’s because I can never find anything where I live so when people find stuff I love/hate it lol

I’m impressed with your left handed game hold observations. Not sure I would have picked up on that! 😂

Great video... I must try and get into the NES games more... Coming from the UK, I have less exposure to the machine, but when played it, the games are awesome. I grew up with Spectrum and then Amiga... but I stopped myself buying them as the media of floppy disks tend to mostly not work these days.

He got a good price for a $1000. The time alone to list and sell all those carts individually would have been overwhelming and if selling online would have been less than a $1000 after seller fees and having to claim that on taxes if it’s more than $600 sold in one year.
