The pawn shop didn't like my offer

I went to 9 different pawn shops in Kissimmee Florida, home of Wald Disney World, looking for profitable video games! Come along with me for the ride!

Hot tip, Caleb: Leave a spare DS charger in your backpack so you can still check devices even if the shop doesn't have one! They take up no space and then you don't have to think about it.

[@RedRum.]

Better yet they make bundle cords with all the handheld cords in one

[@xXLobsterTheGreatXx]

great idea

[@2vikings2]

It’s crazy a pawn shop doesn’t keep a cable in the back to test things. It means that place doesn’t test out their electronics before selling them.

[@peterbui128]

With a power bank

[@MurphyJac]

Probably can get a better deal if you don’t sometimes tho if you wanna gamble

[@RichRetr0]

Ayyy Kissimmee my ole stomping grounds. I never tapped into the pawn shops there, I probably missed out on some good finds.

[@owen6114]

Lovin the channel but the recent montage music has been very intense. I like to relax and watch these so it's kinda conflicting for me. Much love!

[@BigSkylar]

That zelda game on Gamecube is only 1 disc for 60 I'd have grabbed it since they go for 75 and up. It's just Ocarina of Time on it plus the challenge mode master quest.

[@clint125]

Yep came here to say the same thing . It’s only 1 disk . When you pre ordered wind waker , they handed you a copy of that . It was awesome

[@BigSkylar]

@@clint125 one of the few times you got the pre-order before release.

[@MrBigbeefers]

first of all they go for 60 ebay used and second he didn't show what the disc looked like it could have had a couple scratches on it. And third that pawn was a rip I wouldn't have given them a time of day with those prices.

[@gamedealerz9988]

You motivated me to get deals my self! I managed to get Shining soul, Zelda Links Awakening DX, Pokemon FireRed, Goldensun 1 and 2, Pokemon Soulsilver with pokewalker unused, Harvest moon friends of Mineral town, Pokemon trading card game, with Gameboy Advance and DS lite. They were only cartridges, only paid $100. I thought that was an amazing deal.

[@TooFurious4]

"I guess you only need to get one 😅." **Awkward hard cut** 😂😂

[@mr.fizzac3957]

Last pawn shop is like some my local ones. Way high on prices. Sometimes I think they go eBay find highest listing and then add few bucks on top to make sure they over priced. And if you say anything most times they get all defensive about it.

[@adammonahan687]

Pawn shops are scum. They take advantage of people in tough spots by lending them next to nothing for their valuable items then taking ownership of them when that person doesnt pay on time. They buy stolen stuff from drug addicts and sell it for 20 times as much. They tell you they pay top price for gold and silver when its actually 10 percent of spot price. F pawn shops never been to one that was run by a honest group

[@SuperiorRecords]

hell my local video game stores sometimes want double or tripple ebay prices i dont know how they get away with it i never buy games from them

[@SuperiorRecords]

@@adammonahan687 they're there to make money man its not a charity its peoples lively hood

[@adammonahan687]

[@Makaveli12321]

@@adammonahan687 resellers doing a very similar thing this dude is lowkey playing these local game shops don’t you think

[@pipapi505]

That last stop is one of my local pawn shops, honestly they are either hit or miss when it comes to their prices. Sometimes they give good deals most of the time they don’t. I found if you go like 2 minutes before they close they give you a good deal cause they don’t want to look up anything and want you to leave haha

[@Waldder]

I've never seen someone so excited to work on vacation

[@BigCTV]

The second Value Pawn is very hit or miss. They’ve started pricing all of their games and they price most fairly high, but sometimes they will work you a deal. Best score I’ve had at any pawn was a Pokemon Heartgold for $9 loose at that Value Pawn. I also snagged 33 disc only games for $10 at one point.

[@DonutTPOTer]

Jesus 9 bucks for that?! Even loose thats scary low

[@BigCTV]

@@DonutTPOTer Yup. It was an insane deal. I flipped it on eBay for $100. You can check out the pickup here if you want: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqHEq5-Qipl4gNE

[@DonutTPOTer]

@@BigCTV wow. I guess that's one good thing to come out of fluctuating pokemon prices: smart people get the most out of it! I bought a platinum cartridge in April for 16 bucks, though I bought it to try a gen 4 game before bdsp 😄

[@BigCTV]

@@DonutTPOTer That’s a great game. Obviously if you are buying to play, it’s great to find them for cheap. The nice thing is, when you are done with it, you can easily flip it for a nice profit, which you can use to buy more games!

[@DonutTPOTer]

@@BigCTV definitely, but I don't sell handheld games for profit, I usually keep those as they have a place in my heart, though console games... 😏

[@WestVision]

“ I guess you only need to get one unfortunately” 😂😂

[@aidetund6263]

@12:28 heeyyyyy Yo Kai Watch may be worthless value wise but it's my favorite 3DS game so it has value to me😂😂

[@TheMagicQsGaming]

5:08 MetalJesusRocks would hate you for saying that

[@craiggalicia8031]

I find it very funny for you to say that about the pawn shops there. I live in Sarasota and the area that I go to has about 10 pawn shops all on the same street within a mile of each other. It really is crazy how many there are. I will have to check out Kissimmee soon!

[@BigCTV]

So I live in Kissimmee and visit those exact pawn shops usually once or sometimes twice a week. I guess I picked up your leftovers at the first Value Pawn because I snagged those exact copies of Just Dance 4 and Rayman Raving Rabbids, among a few others, for one of my game hunting videos on my BigCTV Plays Channel. We do have a lot of solid pawn shops near me. Glad you got to check them out.

[@sqrabbit1]

5:15 Ok what the heck is Eating, Second Edition plus?!

[@BigCTV]

That Cash America is my favorite pawn shop. They always work me a good deal and since I go in so much, I rarely even have to ask anymore. Looks like you went when their game stock wasn’t the greatest. I picked up a ton of great stuff last week.

[@kite9039]

What are you doing when you scan them? What are you using?

[@BigCTV]

I had super bad luck at Queen of Pawns until a couple weeks ago, when they actually worked me some decent deals on PS3 games. I rarely go to that one, but might every once in a while now…

[@bboypressure1]

Next time you’re in Florida come to the Orlando area. We have retro games stores such as Cybertron games, Royal Empire Gaming and Hudson’s Video Games. Great finds all around 👍🏼

This video is old

[@BladeDevil]

nice, I recognize that street. I tend to stay far away from kissimmee though, its kinda a messy area imo. also, kinect sensors are expensive for a good reason lol.

[@JuniperMe]

That graded new mutants comic is the first appearance of Deadpool. Might be worth a bit if they bring out another movie with that character. I got mine off eBay years ago for like $3 lol, then they went way up, now I think it's back down considerably but I don't keep up with comic values really.

[@Hyzpen]

Hilarious about the chick fil a in Florida. There’s one that I go to that is ALWAYS backed up in Lexington.

[@lock.mp3]

the Zelda for GameCube has both games on one disc

@@MobileGamingLounge1 Exactly. So if he doesn’t like the price, keep it moving. No need to bash someone’s prices when he over charges on Amazon for everything he sells. Just say no thanks and move on.

[@justatouchofbeauty]

@@MobileGamingLounge1 I sent him a bundle photo and he said he was definitely interested. When he found out it was my husband selling it and hes taking offers for them he said he doesn't give offers and isn't taking any online deals. When he promotes that in his videos. I actually grew up gaming so even if it was me selling them he was disappointed I knew what I had. So untasteful the way he is, how he negociates, and how he does business in general. Lame.

[@Thenathang]

Great Video! Keep up the good work!

[@retro_games_of_time]

I live in south florida always in orlando/Kissimmee area. Most pawns are misses there but in luck u can get good games. To answer your chick filet lol we have so many close around and many open lanes it goes very fast.

[@CraigyGInDaHut1993]

Watching your videos in the UK and can't believe the prices of things. $30 for a 360 hard drive is mad. You can pick up a 360 for £30 or less here with the hard drive which I have done plenty of times. So sometimes I've bought a whole 360 for the same price as just a hard drive accounting for the exchange rate.

[@Mobliz]

20:28 if you're going to use a passcode of just 0s, you might as well just disable passcode protection altogether... Edit: I guess turning off passcode removes your apply pay cards, saved passwords, etc. Go figure, Apple providing a shittier experience with no options, as usual...

[@jasonhurley4169]

Wait, you want no passcode iPhone to have your saved info? Yeah that’s ridiculously stupid, gets stolen, people could use your credit cards.

[@Mobliz]

@@jasonhurley4169 watch the video. If the user is going to use 0000 as a code, his security is already non-existent. He's already chosen that path, he clearly would rather not type a code since he has to check so many prices but Apple gives him zero options and forces him to use a worthless code so he can use his apps while also having the inconvenience of still having to type a code every single time.

Is that “does that come with both discs maybe under the one disc I just saw?” Your sneaky way of getting them to lower the price? That version of Zelda ocarina master on Gamecube doesn’t have two discs. And I feel like you knew that. :( It’s already a good deal. you can still flip it for their price. Or keep it for a good price. Let them make their money too,

[@MrBigbeefers]

you don't know if it was in mint it could have been scratched lightly and it goes for like 60-75. soooo you could have flipped it for like what 5-10 bucks? not worth the money and what they charge for stuff there I wouldn't give them the time or my money.

[@enthusiasticgamer88]

The only game store in my town charges full price eBay (the most recently overpriced sale with shipping included, not even pricecharting which is an average so more fair). It blows my mind because that means he literally wants more per game than online sellers, even eBayers have to pay fees and eat the shipping cost. His inventory is insane he has literally tens of thousands of video games but it's clear to see his business is failing. The two times I was there I asked him point blank why anyone would buy his games vs shopping online and he didn't have a response besides "video games will always increase in value", which is just factually incorrect. It honestly makes me want to open a competing store that undercuts online prices to drive him out of town because doing so would create customer loyalty and ensure everyone leaves happy. Retail stores that charge full blown online retail just scream "we don't understand business" to me. Sell more quantity at a cheaper price is the long term strat, not nickle and diming everyone who comes through the door. /endrant
