[@jemtaovt1122]

It's always so delightful to see how much people in Japanese culture take care of items, even when they plan to trash it :) Comparing 2nd hand, gaming items from Japanese owners vs. Western, you always get a fair price on a well-taken care of unit vs. getting an uncleaned item that has gunk built-up in the crevices, cracks and bruises all over the plastic and the owner requests a large sum of money for it (usually doubled). Edit: okay, that roadkilled 3DS XL is an exception xD

[@alastairward2774]

I traded in an Xbox one S in good condition to CeX, simply because I didn't trash the box nor the machine, the staff looked at me as if I had slipped them something plated in gold.

[@CommanderWiggins]

The systems that are sold as working tend to be very nice, but systems sold as junk are still often disgusting and beat up, even from Japan. I actually just got done scrubbing the grime off a Gameboy DMG I imported, and I've got an even worse Gameboy Color that is currently banished to a plastic bag to contain its horrors. The main difference I find between Japan and other places is that the junk systems are priced accordingly in Japan. There's no Japanese DKOldies asking 10,000 ¥ for a trashed DS Lite.

[@Matesozen]

Huh? It all comes down to the individual owner of the item, there’s no cultural trend..idk why some Western people romanticize everything Japanese like this

I love seeing all these amazing hand held consoles and other retro tech you manage to get from Japan. Even after seeing so many gameboys it's still awesome to see them in or out of their original bos.

[@SergalCheeseHead]

I'm deeply confused on how that GameBoy Pocket managed to get screen burn

[@faraday4759]

Me to. How can it be burnt if it’s never been used before?

[@SmellTheCheeeez]

The adhesive between the lcd and the polarizing film breaks down over time and darkens. Unfortunately it does it faster if the screen was exposed to heat or UV light, so it just came to be called screen burn.

[@StuTube]

I love the Slime stylus pack. If you've never played it then Rocket Slime is one of the best games for the DS. Like an old school top down Zelda but with Slimes and epic tank battles. Not difficult but very fun.

[@JaikrishnaAdithya]

Not gonna lie but, that black Gameboy was really cool!!!

[@GhalibRashid]

[@nadavrot]

The prices of 3DS are pretty inflated right now. No way is that heavily damaged 3DS worth 61 dollars. I bought a faulty Switch Lite for that price the other day.

[@AlKaseltzer87]

I have that Gameboy pocket. I bought it at a. Kmart in 1998 in USA. It's a little worse for wear and the LCD is starting to get little dark squiggles on the edges, but other than that, it still works great.

[@Decoy_Shark]

I read American Psycho a couple of months ago, and it was such a hard read... Got into The Time Machine (H G Wells) afterwards, and what a story to follow. Honestly recommend The Time Machine to anyone. It's only 118 pages.

Love that Pikachu DSLite, the GBP and the GBA. That GBA seems like a really solid find - still can't find a 101 at a decent price.

[@TheOlympicHero1]

How can the Gameboy Pocket have screen burn and yet "never been used"? I guess from age? Or heat exposure?

[@joshvandruff1790]

I love the black DMG. I’m a sucker for black and red.

[@chronossage]

I was lucky to find an US gameboy pocket with that really fancy box but mine was slightly used. Also in the US they didn't include the extra outer cardboard box from what I can tell. The US model has extra rear inserts in the plastic shell. Still a beautiful display piece.

[@PMcDFPV]

Great video! Wow that gameboy at the end was amazing!

[@Kniffel101]

Oh my god, that grey metallic GBA SP is BEAUTIFUL! =O Huh? How does an unused Game Boy get screen burn-in?

[@Kaya4114]

That's what I want to know

[@jonjandran]

A lot of times the lcd layers start to separate and the liquid "bleeds" from one layer to another. Age is a bi-atch.

[@noratusket4313]

Thank you. All those "wait for it" made me spent an hour and a half listening to Hamilton... again. I thought I was out of that wonderful drug.

[@Home_Rowed]

Maybe that sticker residue on the GB Station was just on the plastic. Though, if it was directly on the box, maybe it was resealed in cellophane. Japan seems to like to do that to keep the cardboard boxes in good condition, though usually it would be one of flap seal cellophane sleeves rather than shrink wrap. Either way, I'm excited for that future video.

[@LotoTheHero]

I don't see how that Game Boy at the end can be new with a screen like that... Maybe I'm ignorant and that kind of damage can occur without it being used. I sure wouldn't think so though.

[@My-Hunt]

With so many stores with perfect or at least nearly and at those prices show that people in Japan take much better care of their systems. Wish we had stores like that here.

[@Magmafrost13]

I have a pristine GBA SP AGS-101 Onyx, with the box and all the instructions. The box is a little worn though. Bought the last one from my local Navy Exchange in 2006. She's a beauty. No scratches, works perfectly!

[@KelBShobra]

If you plan to spend money on sendico and live in canada, us or mexico keep in mind the fees stack up quickly. Its not just as easy as putting $20 in and getting a cheap gameboy or ds. I wanted to get a ds lite on there because they seem cheap, (and are) but turns out in the end because of the fees i technically spent more than i would have if i just used ebay locally . Still wasn't that expensive but just keep this in mind.

[@gooseii]

Not really? The fee for transferring currency is negligible. The only other real fees you have to pay is per item commission and consolidation (which I didn't even have to pay the last two times). Both are only like $3USD. Shipping is high though. Mostly don't try to buy like one thing at a time and have it shipped.

[@tlee656]

I dunno how a brand new GameBoy Pocket can have a burnt in screen when it's never been played or even used... Odd. Doesn't it have to be exposed to the elements for that to happen?

[@zach123101]

@@adunaio that's what I was thinking if that is what he meant then you can't just say that about retro future a lot of KZbinrs bring awareness to a lot vintage video game items

[@rashira9610]

Is it really manipulation though? Manipulation gives the impression of premeditated and malicious tampering with market values. The reality is that making videos showcasing stuff to a large audience is going to drive up demand, and in turn sellers are going to jack up the prices because they're greedy opportunistic vultures. Ones intend doesn't matter. Same thing happens with iPods due to Dankpods' channel. Pretty sure Wade doesn't resell anything he shows on his channel, but the fact that he shows it at all has an effect on the market. Gonna assume he's not manipulating the market. Elliot does resell stuff, but that doesn't mean he's intentionally manipulating the market.

how does the screen burn in a never been used gameboy?

For my 14th birthday my dad had gotten a bag with 2 gba sp’s (ags-001 & ags-101) with a DSi, 21 different gba games, 1 ds game, DS charging cord, and 4 game boy games from his land lord for free. Had to do some replacements on the battery’s and a gba shell but it all works like new.

[@bahamutbbob]

To those who have used both, I am genuinely curious. Which is better? Sendico, or Buyee? Or are they similar enough that it doesn't matter?

[@cuddlequeen3225]

How is it brand new if the screen is burnt

[@mysticaxolotl8215]

The funny thing is not 2 days ago I paid $5 for an AGS-101, in that exact same color and everything. Mine is in pretty poor condition (the screen is fine, and it works perfectly, but it has dog teeth marks all over it). The funny thing is it didn't have a charger so I had to shove a DSi battery in it to test if it works or if it was really a 101. I'm planning on reshelling it with a translucent housing, wish me luck!!

[@Froggievilleus]

Club Nintendo here in the states had the 3DS charging dock show up for about 10 minutes and I managed to get one and still have it.

I'm a bit worried that... the Game Boy Pocket should have a wrapped pack of 2 x TDK branded AAA batteries. Were they just removed from the plastic display box maybe? Otherwise, it might be a re-shell.

[@Chickenbreadlp]

Regarding that black AGS-101 GBA SP: Apparently, the AGS-101 in the charcoal color was extremely rare in North America. Apparently, it was never regularly sold there in that color way and only ever offered as part of limited special bundles and such. It was more common in Europe where it was regularly sold in stores, but again was a regional thing or smth. So you my boy got the rarer variant of the charcoal AGS-101 (probably the rarest as it ended up in Japan?)

How would a device that's never been opened have a burned screen like that? I figured that was something natural that happened through years of use, but it's gotta be related to some sort of reaction with the material used to make it I guess?
