Buying Mystery Games from eBay: Worth Over $200 in Value?

I found another pretty good eBay listing that promised a very good price to value ratio. The seller claims this random lot will be worth over $200 so of course I'm putting that to the test. No duplicates, minimum on sports, and a varied platform selection. Basically: You know I'm on board. They're speaking my language, so let's unbox this together and see how they did.

theres a reason why these games end up in mystery packages! If the seller could easily sell them separately, they would

[@leftheodo]

You obviously haven't seen his other videos with mystery boxes.

[@MGOFor3ver]

Sellers want money fast. This guy is a collector, and also sells this stuff. There's no need to say that a collector only invest in stuff that he likes for his own collection and maybe to make a good profit of it in a long period of time. But I also think this a waste of money. I prefer instead buying broken consoles, repair them and sell them if "I already have them", and that involves every kind of edition of said models.

[@coldogno7]

@@MGOFor3ver more like he makes money from this video...those game are common rare valuable game ppl would sell separately

[@CHT1992]

It doesn't matter if the games sell well or not individually. As a content creator, he knows well that this is proper content to make some quick buck out of, despite requiring some investment. This is the main focus of this video. Of course, the viewers will not be as interested in the content if the games attached to the box are... boring. But the mystery idea behind these videos is usually enough for people to come and watch and stick around for a while.

[@maltheman96]

One of the ps4 ones included the new modern warfare, he got the box of 10 games for $40, when modern warfare was still worth $30+

The best kept secret for removing difficult stickers on printed box art slip covers or on anything else is the safe to use "Rubber Cement Thinner"which will not hurt delicate printed materials, cartridges or disc & is found online as "Bestine" or at Graphic Arts Supply Stores my friend, nothing else works as good or safe.

[@RetroAdvisoryBoard]

*10-Minute Cario Workout Solution for a Knockout Body* may list at $4.95, but there are 49 for sale on eBay right now, and only 8 have sold in the last 4 months.. the trouble with this sort of valuation are the individual games are so completely raked over, there's excessive supply and no demand. They're free filler in bundles. They maintain a minimal value of $2-4 because of those 20 people who will purchase over the course of the year to complete a collection, or like a cheap workout solution.. just enough demand that a price can exist, but doesn't reflect demand.
