24:12 Remember kids, ALWAYS check the inside of game cases to see if they have the games or not.

[@ElDabstroyero]

I know!!! Such a bad habit of mine! The guy even told me to check the cases whomp! The good thing about this one, I would have taken the cases regardless just to get more GameCube cases and/or hold for finding the loose game. But I really need to check the cases!!

[@benghazi2480]

Rookie mistakes, amigo. Open those cases. Open the boxes. Don’t get too easily distracted with seller conversations

[@ElDabstroyero]

Haha definitely a bad habit of mine! No spoilers, but I've got an episode coming up that's going to drive you nuts 😅😅

[@gamesdottom]

@@ElDabstroyeromy dude he told you to check if they were there lmao I was even thinking when you grab them “did he even check”

[@ElDabstroyero]

@gamesdottom haha no spoilers but I’ve got an episode coming up that’s gonna drive you nuts 😂😵‍💫

[@gamesdottom]

@@ElDabstroyero lol this was just straight comedy Love it bro!!

[@pie_stains]

glad to catch you in the chat. those player discs are out of control now!

[@ElDabstroyero]

Had a blast chatting! The prices are so wild on them, but without it the hardware is useless sadly!

[@RetroJunk1987]

Ughhh that guy even told you to check the GameCube cases. Been there though, it's all good!

[@ElDabstroyero]

YUP! He sure did haha - honestly it’s such a bad habit of mine to skip checking the cases

[@kevinstanley9024]

Thats why you always look in the cases before you buy them bro

[@ElDabstroyero]

So true! I’ve been burned by that a few times - one of these days I’ll learn 😂😂

[@VideoArcade]

Excellent video. Extremely entertaining from start to finish. A++++++🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ElDabstroyero]

Thanks so much! I had a blast game-hunting on this one!

[@bloodofdepanta]

Dang!!!! The empty double dash was such a let down but incredible pick ups!!! Vita homebrew is amazing and easy!!!

[@ElDabstroyero]

Plot twist on that empty case haha but still an awesome haul! You’ll have to teach me to homebrew someday 👴

Keep hunting! You never know what you’ll find!

[@Littledeer805]

When I was little I got so mad I couldn’t beat the final boss in Pokémon that tore up all of my pokemon Gameboy boxes 🤦‍♂️

[@ElDabstroyero]

Oh my god!!! That’s tragic! I hope you at least beat Lance (or whoever you were stuck on) after that! 🙀

I got alsobthe exact same Wii zapper with link crossbow training. Its opened, but minty box and same thought cool display and part of Zelda collection 😁

[@ElDabstroyero]

High five! That’s awesome! It’s a great looking little box to have on the shelf

[@charlieb308]

Another great video

[@ElDabstroyero]

Thanks so much! Had a blast during the premiere, thanks for hanging!

[@pokemonzike6130]

THE 300 DISC FOR NINTENDO CUBE

[@ElDabstroyero]

Such a cool find! It was something I wanted for a long time and them BOOM found at a random yard sale

[@Eroc-kz8po]

The word "rare" in video game hunting/collecting is so misused. The GameCube player disc is not rare, although it is quite valuable and a nice find.

[@ElDabstroyero]

I think it really depends on where you are because that one is the first one I’ve ever seen out thrifting. Plus, there are degrees of rarity, is it as rare as Go Go Hypergrind? No,, but it’s definitely more rare than uncommon titles I would think. Either way, like you said a really, good pick up! :-)

[@arturosalinas22]

Great video

[@ElDabstroyero]

Thank you so much!!

[@vvanasperen]

Great episode and congratulations on the Vita. 🥳

[@ElDabstroyero]

Thanks so much, this one was a blast!

[@kymhausen]

open those cases 😂

[@ElDabstroyero]

I know right!

[@tronderiksen3866]

Have same as you statue for controller, but Banjo-kazooie instead. As their childhood memory

[@ElDabstroyero]

That’s awesome! Such a cool little piece of nostalgia!

[@smerk429]

Over paid pop. $70-$100 tops for the wii bundle

[@ElDabstroyero]

Missed the mark on that one I guess!

[@tronderiksen3866]

Im so jealous on your Wii red. I missed out on same good deal and condition couple months back. Wanted it som bad to stand next to my Mario collector edition with Dvd inside aswell😢

[@ElDabstroyero]

Oh no! Hopefully you find another one soon!

[@Retromicky82]

Definitely did great on that gameboy player disc but shame on the cube games but he did say check them 😂 .

[@ElDabstroyero]

He totally warned me! I’m just dumb haha 🤪

[@Retromicky82]

@ElDabstroyero lol trust me I've done it before

[@ElDabstroyero]

@Retromicky82 Won’t be my last time either haha

[@jamesni4498]

I have found double dash on 3 separate occasions where it was case only..after 10 years of collecting still need a CIB one..just always eludes me

[@ElDabstroyero]

That’s wild! Is this foreshadowing for me ten years from now?? 😂

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

Who is your editor it’s so good!!!

[@ElDabstroyero]

Thank you so much! You just made my day! I’m doing all the editing myself, learning as I go - so if you watch from episode 1 on through, the videos get better as they go hopefully!

[@willy7369]

The 3 GameCube cases makes you remember always check for the games. But a great score overall. The Wii was a bit overpriced. Great score

[@ElDabstroyero]

Absolutely, lesson learned! I’m sure I’ll slip up again but it happens lol. thanks so much!

[@willy7369]

@@ElDabstroyero I agree, it happens done it myself a time or 2

[@bingevintage8124]

Blows my mind how people want to get a better deal when it’s already a good deal should’ve snagged that 5200 for that price sometimes you have to pay up for some things more than others you probably won’t see another 5200 for a long long time in the wild

[@ElDabstroyero]

That’s a good point! Even as I was editing the video I was kicking myself for not getting it a little bit

[@ezwiththehardware]

You missed the Transformer G1 Sharkitcon at the church sale.

[@ElDabstroyero]

Oh interesting! Honestly, I never watched Transformers and didn't have the toys, so you could put a bunch in front of me and I would just have a blank stare 😅 - but good eye! I'll try to keep my eyes open for Transformers!

[@OGGamingABC]

it's Mari-o not Maereo 😂

Morrow-iohhhh

[@CrystalOnixGaming]

next time, just double check the CDs really quick. i cant tell you how many times i have found dreamcast and playstation 1 games mixed in with music CDs

[@ElDabstroyero]

Great point! Especially since he had those random Gamecube games right there

Nice finds today!!! I got an authentic copy of Pokémon heartgold today!! Lol I love how ur car was going off in the background 😂. Also question what flea markets do u recommend in PA

[@ElDabstroyero]

[@ElDabstroyero]

Even in that condition? Hm maybe!

[@leeokami1021]

You found some good stuff, but im always thrown for a loop with certain collectors. I am closing in on 1500 games but im always selective on getting games I will actually play. So its always odd to me when i see vids of people picking up bass fishing or wii pets. Like no shade or hate but it always feels like buying up everything is borderline hoarding. I can't help but think of all the money you could've saved towards other things if you werent picking up shovelware/old sports games or even just save on shelf space for quality games...again no shade or hate.

[@ryandann9362]

I agree. As someone who used to pick up anything I didn't have, I eventually ran out of room. I'm left now slowly selling the games and things I will never play. It's a ton of work, and can be overwhelming.

[@leeokami1021]

@ryandann9362 yeah I always will go for quality over quanity. I just can never see a situation where you wake up like "I want to play some madden 2003" or "I'm really in the mood for truck racer." worst is most gamestores won't check it so it feels like you are just holding onto trash

[@ElDabstroyero]

I totally get what you're saying and I agree with you. I think for me personally, it comes down to 1) wanting to get content to make silly videos, 2) having a loose goal of wanting to get a complete set of games for the various systems, 3) and I enjoy the thrill of the hunt; so while I could pay 100 for a 100 dollar game at a game store, it isn't the same as finding it on the cheap - and while that hunt means I'm not always scoring big and I'm sometimes picking up more common stuff, it also introduces me to lots of weird and random games I've never even heard of before. It's also surprisingly fun to have friends over for game nights and give them thousands of options haha - I am constantly shocked by what they want to play, including some of the most terrible shovel-ware ever (Busy Scissors on Wii got played somehow lol). But on the flip side, I had never played any DDR games and one night I played 6 or 7 of them with some friends, because that's what caught their eye 😂

[@ElDabstroyero]

Great point, Ryan - I know I sold a ton of duplicates I just get randomly here and there at a yard sale this summer and just setting up and selling for a weekend was a lot of work - doing it full time would be so draining.

[@ElDabstroyero]

You say that... but now I'm craving some "truck racer" haha

[@williambourque926]

You probably overpaid a little on that X-box one stuff - but grabbing the red Wii bundle was a smart choice. I think as time goes on that may only continue to get pricier and pricier.

[@ElDabstroyero]

I think you’re right. It’s wild to me how poor the value is on some Xbox One games - I wonder if that trend will reverse at some point or not

[@Jfscloud723]

@@ElDabstroyero It will once Xbox game Pass is more overpriced, some game files are massive around over 100gb of data. that's why they are deleting and delisting games. The ones that are going up in price are Xbox OG and 360 as the Xbox Store will be deleting to make space for Xbox One games.

[@Jfscloud723]

@@ElDabstroyero Also if your going to collect Xbox one games check to see if the data is on the disc, because some games are not fully on the disc.That means people who play offline won't collect those.

Freaking old people doing that type of stuff drives me nuts. Like stick with stuff you know. There an old dude that obviously doesn't work and goes to the goodwill I go to but he goes everyday. I've seen him with pokemon cards, Legos, a mario figure cib and much of the things I collect. Drives me absolutely crazy. I collect that stuff. He has time because he doesn't work.
