I went to that Game Trader in Rivergate many, many times as a kid after eating at the Cici’s next door with my grandfather. He passed recently and this video brought back so many great memories. Thank you!

[@briandesousa3264]

No lie. I found 4 copies of Pokeman Ranger DS behind the glass at Wal-Mart earlier this week priced at 34.98. I thought I had traveled through time. And yes I bought them all and shat myself in disbelief/ excitement.

The Walmart where I live surprisingly had playstation 2 & game cube games still. No joke. Granted they were bad titles not worth anything, but still amazed me. And I don't live in the middle of no where, I live in the Bay area in California.

[@ManectricReturns]

I know this comment is old, but I used to work in retail and sometimes we'd find old games behind shelves or in random boxes in the warehouse and they still scanned into the system despite being 15+ years old. So we would just decide to stick them on the shelf like nothing happened lol. I worked in a store for 2 years and we had a PS2 copy of Just Dance or something like that on the shelf, it was there before I joined and it was there after I left.

[@suhailinayatulla652]

That brawl game was a good buy. At Christmas they will increase in value.

[@shinyhunterjt]

Bootleg and Reproduction carts are two seperate things. Reptoduction carts are somebody remaking something the exact same way it was created from the beginning, and reselling it for a cheaper price. Bootleg is a complete knockoff, in that it’s a completely different product that’s based off of something else

$1,500 profit in one trip is pretty awesome! Great pickups on the sealed stuff and I’d probably keep the SSB for a while because those are only going up in value. Also I’m also a huge fan of “Cheap Finds Gold Mines”, and you’ve got a great eye for “hidden gem” channels 😃 Thanks for sharing Caleb!

[@DZgameis]

I'm from Mexico and just discovered your channel a couple of days ago... Let me tell you, videogames in Mexico also got a little more expensive due to the pandemic but they are about half the price of what they sell in the US (especially pokémon games). If you know trustworthy people or you have friends in Mexico then you should do business with them. A lot of potential profit in that.

that pokémon diamond situation is very odd. sounds like a lil bait & switch to me🤣

[@joebnco6617]

Great finds. The super smash brawl I would get 1 copy graded and test the waters since you grabbed 4 of them. And that repo Pokémon there wrong for selling it for full price like that. And that Pokémon you got sealed would 100% have graded and might even hang on to it for a little bit. Imagine getting a full set of Pokémon games sealed and graded to sell as a complete sealed graded set. The money involved would be high but the profits would be astronomical.

[@Affenhandski]

Furthermore, it can also be worth asking the sellers if you can get games that are overstocked for 25 cents a piece. Kinect Adventures will bring you about 3-5$ and you only have to list it once if you only take the ones that are all in the same good and complete condition. then you have generated your next 50$ from about 4$.

[@MSUHitman]

The reason BttF is worth so much is it’s the canonical sequel to BttF 3. Telltale worked with the writers/directors of the trilogy & it’s the only thing they’ve authorized to be done with BttF since the cartoon in the 90’s. Not only is the game OoP, but it’s delisted digitally.

[@MSUHitman]

That FF 12 Remake since it was the Steelbook Edition at the 2nd pawn shop would have been worth it most likely. Missing the slip cover, but still a premium over the vanilla version.

[@SiCVoltage]

Phoenix I agree if the game is a resealed copy of something that is not supposed to be should be sold at a loss. Thats the store fault for not doing thier research beforehand.
