MY BEST THRIFT STORE FIND?!

I walked in...took a look around. Bottom lip fell to the floor grabbed stuff like a mad man and here we are!
ENJOY!

[@redpilledpatriot8484]

I once found 40 Original Nes games in the original boxes, all in mint condition, I paid a buck a piece and sold them for over two grand on eBay within 2 weeks time

[@irvinj777]

damn, wish i had the skillz to pay the billz like that bro

[@redpilledpatriot8484]

Irvin Jorge yeah, I've had a few really cool finds like that... 5 bucks for an 18k gold bracelet that weighed 2 ounces, sold for $1600.00... Found a lot of vintage RC drag cars for 100 bucks and sold me for $2000.00... 14k yellow gold men's watch for 5 bucks sold for $1500.00 ETC ETC.. I do ALOT of picking tho and those finds don't come very often but every once in awhile it's a score!

[@thebobbydshow856]

This was probably a once in a lifetime find. Amazing man. Nice job!

[@xxsafirexx822]

good for u!!u can get some awesome deals at savers or thift shops..keep doing what makes u happy!! keep smiling

[@starguard4122]

One mans trash is another mans treasure. Happy you scored dude. Congrads!

[@GamingItOldSchool]

HOLY!!! That's why you're one of my favs man, all this instant footage! Terrific job on everything, especially the GC glory!

[@thegamingphile]

Thanks dude had to make a video STAT! Gamecube glory for sure!

[@TheHighlander71]

this is an epic video. with a smile to match. such joy. such happiness!

[@jadster12]

Man this is amazing. My jaw dropped and I think I died a little bit. I am so happy for you but so envious all at once. I wish I had this luck. I'm going to be going everywhere in ottawa now.

[@DLEEZY111]

i have been lost without your vids! keep them coming!!!

[@dustinhancock2523]

I really enjoyed this video. it makes me want to build up my collection too.

[@GareBearGamingGround]

Holy crap dude you freaking scored!! I am insanely jealous of that Fire Emblem... been on the look out for that for a very long time. Congrats man =)

[@thegamingphile]

Thanks man, I only ever found it one other time and it didn't have the manual. Its probably the greatest Fire Emblem aside from awakening.

[@TheBenana]

Great gamecube finds, really! I found Twilight Princess at Value Village but for 19.99. Epic score! Just subbed!

[@AtlasVirtue]

Congrats on this find man! I'm so jealous but I feel good that these games were picked up by a collector like you.

[@thegamingphile]

Thanks dude, at least somebody isn't reselling them!!

[@keepyourlovesafe]

How much did you spend on your haircut?.... $7.99

[@mqrine2942]

keepyourlovesafe With 20% off

[@abbyvaughan6948]

keepyourlovesafe oo

[@Eyetrauma]

These are some amazing finds, dude!

[@poprewindclips]

OH MAN CONGO BONGO! lol! I used to love that for the C64! Good tip on asking for coupons. I used to do that when I knew the girls at the register, but I only just got back into thrifting and collecting this year, so they're all gone:( Still, a good reminder to try! But, that is such a great score! I like how you get giddier and giddier as you pull more and more games out of that bag!

[@thegamingphile]

Congo Bongo is awesome! I remember playing it on a SEGA compilation disc way back and thought it was so cool. I was more than giddy, I couldn't drive unless I exploded my reaction onto youtube. Thanks for watching man!

[@djdeus]

Nice finds! Those GameCube games just kept coming out of that paper sack!

[@scottrockers]

Great reaction, thanks for posting.

[@thegamingphile]

Thanks for watching! had to make a video right away.

[@TheDill55]

Nice finds! I couldn't believe you got Fire Emblem complete, wow!

[@thegamingphile]

what a great game too thanks for checking out the video

[@khanthevideogamehunter2946]

Crazy gamecube finds plus 20 precent off epic haul. I have started a channel as well but I have never come across anything like this ever at a value village

[@DavetheNESGuy]

Dude! Your excitement is palpable. Super stoked that you found those games at a thrift store in Ottawa. That is the definition of an epic haul. NES games at Value Village? Those Gamecube games. You scored man. Also a great idea to take the video right after you got the stuff. Awesome video!

[@thegamingphile]

Call me crazy but the rush from game hunting gives me the shakes. I couldn't drive without making a video to calm my nerves! 613 represent!

[@DavetheNESGuy]

Ya man, I'm with ya. I don't get that rush too often, but when it comes it comes in waves. I actually think these pick up videos that you do in your car are very unique. "Thegamingphile car with thegamingphile." lol. 613 represent indeed!

[@dunnyify]

Great finds man!

[@Groove_Gamer]

Amazing deals on those GC games, the Value Villages (even Goodwill) here have started looking up prices on eBay so there's no more really good deals to be had, plus they've started putting all games in display cases locked up with the jewelry.

[@GameNotLoaded]

Cracking haul mate. Some quality stuff

[@thegamingphile]

Cheers, thanks for watching!

[@tetsukami1577]

Fire Emblem made this video worth watching, nice find! Not too bad on luigis mansion and double dash either.

[@michaelangel6201]

Dude, you found some games, so why are you looking around like you're pushing drugs?

[@enjoiKID24]

+Michael Angel lol, he's probably just checking around to see if people are looking at him filming a video in his car.

[@georginacat7667]

Michael Angel i was thinking the same! also... he said " this is crazy" 9 times anyone would think it was crazy

[@laneyb8911]

Michael Angel idk some dont like people staring at them seeing them talking to a camera lol

[@georginacat7667]

#Akonpov Note erm...yes... thats no secret... pretty much tge whole world knows... not just you 😁😁😁 but that still doesn't explain why he is looking round

[@bojackson4554]

Michael Angel DUDE WTF

[@LostGamer8519]

Badass Nintendo haul!! value village has been good to you

[@64BitMatthew]

So much win! I knew about f1 2009 for wii before you talked about it, nice grab. someone is gonna be sad when they find out their parents donated their gamecube collection lol. rad finds buddy!

[@thegamingphile]

it was somebody who knew his stuff for sure! F1 2009 I tried to grab at EB when it was $0.99 but oh well ill take this one.

[@jcchaconjr]

Wow, what an amazing haul, especially with the GameCube games! I've been on the lookout for F1 2009 for a while now. I'm surprised that EB Games had it for $.99 considering that it was a GameStop exclusive. Even used, they tend to stay up there in price.

[@gamedad1984]

DUDE..!!! fucken awesome great finds man..

[@ogarza0]

Damn. That´s awesome. :)

[@alanarmes951]

Good pick man there is nothing like that in the uk were I am from ,keep picking

[@georginacat7667]

Alan Armes theres about 10 charity shops in every town in the uk

[@Joshizzle2323]

smash bros on game cube for 7.99 minus 20% is a freakin' steal!!! AND ZELDA!!! wow!

[@Weajy]

Loved this video XD

[@bizzNES17]

niceeee grabs! everything looked to be in pretty beautiful condition...not everyday you see that at the thrift stores

[@thegamingphile]

all the games were in brand new condition. Somebodies games that they bought new and loved and now I will return the favour. ahahah

[@NESADDICT]

Dude sick find on that Luigis Mansion!!

[@GoldGloves210]

Sweet!! Nice find

[@thegamingphile]

Thanks dude!

[@awesomefish100]

Wow! You're very lucky, i got to around 7 thrift stores every week or so and have yet to come across one gamecube game :/

[@Romermedia]

Omg ... when was this... I'm going to assume this was the one on Bank right ? Amazing find.

[@Bryan-nq1mw]

Usually when I see a video like this I think its fake, but I know your legit and this is a dope find!

[@Dankcatvacs]

fantastic finds , i rarely find any good games at thift stores if i do i already have them

[@thegamingphile]

I rarely find anything at the thrift shops. I definitely got lucky with this one!

[@charlierunkle613]

Great haul!

[@thegamingphile]

hahah WORD

[@dusternash]

Were is that store

[@asaofspades5454]

great find

[@ChipRichey]

Great score! Someone is going to be pissed at their mom next time they come home!

[@thegamingphile]

I was thinking that too. Its back to school time so all the moms are dumping gaming goodness like fairys in the sky! What a great time to check the thrift shops.

[@ChipRichey]

Unless you go to college haha. All the other students buy all the good stuff up.

[@MikeKnoxComedy]

Congo Bongo!

[@war_general1261]

I have a question if you found a original modern warfare is that good ?

[@broganheller3085]

Jc_plays_ games !!!!! No not at all

[@VintageVinny]

Although video gaming is in my past, and I rarely play, I would say that you scored big time.

[@minecrftavenger0]

I have Metroid Prime, and Prime 2 Echos complete, bought prime at target for $3 and echos at gamestop years ago for $5

[@c2ironfist]

Danm I saw those cube games when I was over picking up the 360 Guess I know where you got the included wired controller lol

[@Theitchnetwork]

That's quite a haul. And a wired 360 controller for that price is absurd. I paid like 30 something bucks for mine

[@hidde1626]

Is this in a kringloopwinkel?

[@zelly19]

Unique tho... lol I go their as well, I didn't find good things anymore

[@realgroovy24]

Good god! in New Zealand you NEVER find any atari cartridges! heck even playstation 1 or 2 games are pretty rare! the stores are tiny also

[@shamelessape1]

I have that Wii F1 2009 game XD I though everybody had it but apparently it's very rare

[@jasonargone5993]

Its getting so the thrift stores are onto the collectible market and they have people that do nothing but research and price collectible items. The VOA here has two marketers.

[@pinkeye983]

Is that the one in Missouri

[@huskymudkipz3650]

Is that at Abbotsford in bc canada

[@mimbix1]

I got Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for $10 and a black XBOX controller that looks like new for $5. It's on Houston Flea Market. In the cross of Highway 35 and Beltway 8.

[@Hawaiiangr0wn1993]

Damn it, I want that fire Emblem. Lol

[@thegamingphile]

I only found it one other time and it had no manual.

[@Hawaiiangr0wn1993]

Would you by any chance still have the copy with no manual? Lol. i'm like, desperate to get my hands on a copy

[@noniabizz3372]

I'm happy for you.

[@Marcie-301]

I honestly was expecting Super Mario Bros. or any of the Gamecube Mario Party games.

[@welcometothegame3061]

lost my shit at fire emblem lol. Great score for sure!

[@joemcmills4069]

Blades of steal has best hockey fighting ever

[@ugandanknuckles5278]

I love it how hhe turns round to make shure hes not being watched lol {DONT WORRY WHEN I BOUT 50 AMIIBO I WAS FEELING LIKE I WAS BEING WATCHED TO}

[@enjoiKID24]

how much did u make off of Luigis mansion and smash bros?

[@sachalarose9964]

That pickup makes me cry because I live in Ottawa

[@aquaman199]

What are they worth if you resell them?

[@georginacat7667]

Bryce Hffxvb look it up

[@JamesShelnutt]

I'm not a video game collector so I'm not 'stoked' to see these & personally put no value on them - however, I appreciate that others might value them & be willing to pay big bucks to get them on Ebay or something. I haven't gotten into buying stuff from thrift stores to resell on Ebay, though I bet it could pay off.

[@AnBoyXD]

Where did you be

[@SeeJayAre]

Amazing...

[@thegamingphile]

counting my lucky stars indeed..

[@alexlubbers1589]

my brother found either a replica or real katana at an isolated little thrift shop in Payson, AZ when we went to the mollogon rim to enjoy the snow up there, and it was only 30 bucks! so if a burglar or a guy we don't know tries to break in, *runs and gets sword* GET YOUR 2 DOLLAR ASS OUTTA HERE BEFORE I MAKE CHANGE * guy gets scared and flees* saved the day

[@videogamepolak0]

yeah buddy....id pay extra to find games like that...i see mario parties and good mario gamecube titles but everytime the disc is gone or its too scratched to even attempt to play it.... best find i had was the madden NFL 13 sealed at a goodwill..snatched that boy up. thats when it was going for $70

[@thegamingphile]

Somebody dumped a brand new game at the thrift shop!? Thats why you always gotta check!

[@videogamepolak0]

thegamingphile yeah i find brand new games from time to time...usually junk ones...never know man... You look for other stuff there too right? such as graphing calculators..electronics?

[@SnoopyDrew]

Melee for 8 bucks?! That was the best find by far man you can sell that for 50 bucks easy.I would never sell my melee.

[@georginacat7667]

RapeWhistle well not the best by miles

[@mrnachosmampfer9436]

it was at this moment that he realized... there is steam and you can get all that games for 50 cents on the store...

[@SaileeIvic]

for game ?

[@ChrisMarcie]

Come to Knoxville Tennessee go to cm games it has a nes for 119.00 and games for it

[@Drew_64]

One word. LUCKY. PATH OF RADIANCE AND MELEE FOR $7.99 WHAT?!?!?!

[@irie9443]

That came was worth about $70 when this was uploaded.

[@marvinpuerto4006]

Worth 180 all day now

[@johnsmith-fb3ty]

man our value villiage has jack shiet! my best and only find is a shinobi game for gamegear for 4bucks lol,. not sure why i keep looking there x.x

[@aprilhdunmoyer]

Music?

[@catboy9653]

I got fire emblem path of radiance complete for $3 at a flea market

[@Cg16Ht]

fund baulders gate 2 and champions, Norath, and return to arms for 7.99

[@irvinj777]

how much would fire emblem go for?

[@hiram4451]

Irvin Jorge quick Ebay search showed it to be around 100 bucks complete and some for more. a sealed one was 200

[@simtitan1]

Every thrift store in my area charges at least $30 for one game.

[@davideggleston2752]

for someone that is not a gemer, would have been a bit better if you said how much you could sell it for.

[@turkeybilnohomophobicpeopl4085]

i found a macbook pro for like 40 dollars at good will, sucks i didnt buy it LOL it probably was like years old

[@coyotegaming9230]

i found a luigi plush mario party 5 for 2 bucks and its the most rare plush worth 500 bucks

[@betomedina7800]

I found a game boy with Pokémon green and it was the Japanese version

[@79TEOG]

neat finds but all the nes games are 5$ games so you paid full price, way better prices on the gamecube stuff tho

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Nice haul..but remember that time you found Panic Restaurant for $2.99...I still think that may have been your best find

[@RetroR0bbie]

yea that would be the best

[@ajkungfupokemon]

my best thrift store find is chip n dale 2 rescue rangers 2 for nes for ....get this 1 dollar there was also a whole bunch of common nes games for a dollar there to and there was also punch out for a dollar but chip n dale blew my mind lol

[@gabrielkawa432]

Nice haul you have

[@thegamingphile]

+Gabriel Kawa Thanks for watching

[@gabrielkawa432]

No problem it was a awesome haul :)

[@willybilly99]

+thegamingphile you could download all the game in emulator or you just want to collect it? after few years going to sell for million? is that your thought?

[@dysonsphere75]

As soon as you pulled out the "Black Label" GameCube games, and started calling them rare. I was like oh shit, I have all of those games, every single one of them complete. Pulmonary Metroid, Smash Bros, carts, all of it.

[@dysonsphere75]

+Jon A Putting words in my mouth?

[@420globmeister6]

+Jon A no he didn't he never said they weren't rare he said he had all of these rare games

[@hex5476]

+Jon A He never said they weren't rare.

[@dysonsphere75]

+HexSheer +scuba Thanks for backing me up fellas! The internet has become slightly saner. Ignorance must not prevail.

[@420globmeister6]

Jon A why do i see you everywhere

[@misterdude206]

hahaha, nice grabs. did you have a "fuck it, imma buy all this shit" moment? :)

[@thegamingphile]

Thats funny you say that. I grabbed everything almost body checked the guy next to me! hahahah

[@misterdude206]

You were just in the what I call the "thrifting high". Haha

[@Herostatus1991]

DANG SON!!!

[@moongiggler]

Why are the gamecube games rarer than the NES stuff. I see those games all the time. I've only ever seen one NES game for sale in 15 years. I do live in the UK so its probably a different market over here.

[@vycvypyr]

Minus 20% yo! Looks like VV was caught slipping...

[@thegamingphile]

caught slippin fo show

[@supersupra89t]

Sucks that they charge so much. Usually they charge 1.99-2.99 for disc games. Titles are worth it tho

[@thegamingphile]

I know what you mean. The prices are outrageous because its $7.99 doesn't matter if its NHL 2004. These games were an exception for sure

[@BkZ1AnD0nLy]

I wish thrift stores in ny had game's

[@justadude420]

cool haul but in my opinion the empty spot inside the case where the memory card goes makes them incomplete.

[@catboy9653]

I have 2 or 3 of the animal crossing memory cards

[@TheBigRagooDOTcom]

Good Score

[@pappy451]

if something is missing from the package , it's not "complete" . they were all missing the memory card right ? otherwise , nice pile of old games . Zelda was always a fav .
