What is the collectors value of those adult diapers

[@kdogg7882]

Am I the only one who hates it when sellers on eBay just post stock photos and not photos of the actual game?

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

Those are just auctions to avoid.,

[@nahbiatch5]

Even worse when it’s a Thrift store selling item they got for free at higher prices and telling you they have to much stock to provide pictures or even details on media your inquiring about

Just FYI, the download message on the box of Opus was a mistake and the developers even confirmed it on X. The cartridge has the full game on it.

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

Thank you!!! BEST news i heard all week! I was seriously considering selling it! I left it sealed for that reason in fact.. I pre-ordered this game and was shocked when it arrived saying I had to download it.. had they told me in advance i would have never pre ordered it or even ordered it to begin with. GREAT news though! TY for sharing, i shall 100% keep this game in my forever collection now

[@Hyuga_Xeno]

I'm on eBay right now and there's one person that's got at least 50 more in stock of Pokemon mystery dungeon dx for $47.50. Free shipping too. They're brand new too.

[@filosofeneu9907]

It was hard for me to admit starting to like easy games and not be the hardcore gamer anymore, but it saves me so many moments of turning off the game feeling more frustrated than when I starting playing 😂😂😂 online competitive games have been replaced with solo games and I’m loving it👍🏻😂

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

I am in the same boat as you. My younger self would never have imagined that my taste in games would turn from online and competitive games to "the easier the better" type of games lol. I mainly game to simply relax now in my older years.

[@jameskozy7254]

13 sentinels is the most underrated game of the last few years

[@BGID7]

That game was for sale at a local bookstore the other day and I passed on it because it looked super confusing. Cool art though

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

I have noticed on eBay that non collectors who sell games think that the description “very good” is applicable if the game just looks decent. They don’t realize that “very good” has a fairly descriptive high bar to clear.

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

And to add to that ive seen sellers commonly say its in very good condition but in reality upon closer inspection they are referring only to the DISC and not the case or manual.

[@brianpittman274]

The past 3 months I've had to hold many sellers accountable and remind them of Ebays description terms and get refunded. I've had some excellent sellers bit the bad ones are absoulte douche bags.They get angry at you for calling them out or holding them accountable.

[@ReinMixTape]

Great picks. I'm currently picking up the Pokemon Switch and *DS games because Pokemon is a passion for me and they'll only go up in value (mostly.) I'm putting a lot of play time into Pokemon Shield+expansion pass. It's great and kind of hard to find, I figure because... lots of people wanted Sword and Shield to be fully voice acted in every human language, with 8K resolution and ray tracing and fully open world.

[@VaultSSB]

Another banger video. Definitely agree with the pokemon titles, people just are not aware those exist.

[@osareme2462]

I always tell people to not collect and sit on games they do not like because if it doesn’t go up they will regret having to buy it

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

@@osareme2462 very wise advice!

[@thiefamongu3857]

Recently I have scored marvel ultimate alliance gold cib for 70 dollars, shadows of the damned cib for 25, dreamcast collection for 32 no manual, battle fantasia sealed for 25, ninja blade cib for 45, dead to rights retribution cib for 20, and many more good deals just by going out to game stores. Thanks for keeping me aware of great games on all systems, gonn have to start on hardcore switch collecting here soon

I was lucky to have bought my Baldurs Gate back when it was only like $40 CAD brand new

[@bundjohn]

Switch games seem to hold their value so if you can wait then these will be worth a lot more in the future!

Great minds think alike! 💥

[@cocktailzombie]

This week was a great week for gaming can't believe we are finally getting all the marvel fighting games in one collection. My jp version of breath of the wild has dlc on cart. I have been thinking about gaming in the future andmy conclusion is essentialy to buy a new switch (after switch 2 is released) put in a nice micro sd update it periodically with all my favorite games and essentially just keep it unused as insurance for the future so i always have a system that is future proof. I did this with ps3.

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

once switch 2 is out assuming its backwards compatible youll be able to grab those OG switches for dirt cheap too

[@cocktailzombie]

@@LegallyInsaneGamer was thinking of doing with ps4 (neurotic i know but aren't us retro gamers all) but here in Japan new ps4s are still quite pricey.

[@silvermasked0]

The box art on Gargoyles looks so good in the collection 💪🏻

Gargoyles is broken on cart

Easy mode is for old people is the realest. Who am I trying to impress lol. I'm 40 I don't care.

[@onitutu]

Hi ! im new here but i wanted to tell you that maybe you should try, for your internationals viewers like me (im from Chile) to put all the prices with the USD equivalent. For example if gargoyles was 52 CAD you can tell or on the screen put the USD equivalent price that would be in that case, 38 USD. that way everyone outside Canada can check the prices. I think it would help increase your viewers. Havea great day, im gonan watch now some other of your videos, cheers

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

GREAT tip! Thank you! Ill see what I can do :)

[@PhysicalMediaAdultGaming]

You ain’t lying about easy mode

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

🤣🤣 Are you in the same boat now too? Lol

[@bbgothviolator8953]

Try easy mode on Devil Engine, its the most deceiving difficulty I`ve ever seen lol. I do like a challenge still though, usually I`ll start on easy especially with shooters, then once I learn patterns and the stages I`ll move up too normal and hard modes.. That being said I did finally master Devil Engine and its one of my fave sidescroll shmups of all time, but holyshit very hard...I also collect hard for the switch, I had fallen out of collecting games for awhile, but when I got the switch and saw the array of games(especially the oddball ones) I was hooked. I`ve been collecting nothing but shmups for the past 3 or 4 months now and its super expensive

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

I have a similar experience with the Switch except with me its not that I had fallen out of game collecting.. but at the time I had zero interest in any new modern consoles and thought i was done forever with new consoles.. but then one day i finally caved on got the Switch.. and ive been HOOKED ever since! LOVEEEEE my Switch!

[@bbgothviolator8953]

@@LegallyInsaneGamer I hear you, exactly the same for me, i still don`t even have a ps5 or xbox, there just isn`t any games that really interest me, maybe when grand theft 6 releases i`ll finally break down and get a modern console. Even with switch, I regretfully put off getting one for so long. I`ve only owned one for close to a year and already have over 100 physicals, all imports and obscure titles aside from the big nintendo games. The selection of games is phenomenal! The other thing I`ve noticed as I`ve gotten older, i`ve fallen out of huge openworld 3d games. I prefer the sidescrolling classics or modern made ones. Switch has so f`n many its overwhelming. And it sounds silly but from a collectors perspective, I love how all of the switch cases have red spines with white font lettering. It looks fantastic on a shelf. I think Nintendo was self aware from the get go that switch was going to cater to the collectors and they fully embraced it. Its going to be looked back at as one of the greatest consoles to ever exist and games will be worth a fortune a decade from now. I look at every game I buy as an investment but tbh I don`t think I`ll ever part with any of them lol

[@magic3383]

According to my wife Stardew Valley is impossible to put down.

[@bryancook6345]

I own all these games but I don’t see them worth a lot of money after newer games gets released that plays better well you know ebay they will try to sell you a game for $5000 that’s not worth that much

[@brianpittman274]

Great Value mac n cheese is way better than actual KD. Ebay shouldn't allow sellers to use stock pictures

I am scared to buy anything on eBay - how do you know who you can trust

Ebay actually has GREAT buyer protection, sadly its actually the sellers that are taking all the risk from scammer buyers. The stress of selling on ebay is the harder part, I know cause I also sell lol

[@bimbibenny]

Who doesn’t love free money?

[@fcdavidg4751]

So Nintendo is always the console to buy that generally holds if not exceeds in value throughout time. How do you find relatively cheap games though? Gamestop always selling at $50+ and I am sure it is the same for Ebay. I assume pawn shops and flee markets but I don't have those near me

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

Depends on the definition of cheap.. one method i was able to get several STEALS for rare 360 and Wii games was via local sales where some mom was selling her console with all the games.. BUT.. paying $50 can still be cheap if the value of that game long term is expected to be $100-$500 for example.. paying $50 or even $100 for that rare game today on ebay is still going to save you a lot of money and look very cheap when it doubles, triples, etc.

[@fcdavidg4751]

@@LegallyInsaneGamer I know but what do you generally define as potentially profitable? Not every jrpg/horror game will go up, I heard getting the weird never seen before games are a good idea but that doesn’t always work either

[@LegallyInsaneGamer]

@@fcdavidg4751 Research on the games is exactly how :) Youve already hit the first nail "the weird never seen before games". Avoid high print run/common games is the first step, next step find the hidden gems and the strange and unique games. A common occurrence youll find is that a lot of the games that go up huge in value also received terrible reviews at the time of release (and may still be terrible games later too, but some are found as cult classics later on as well, but regardless those are the games that were ignored by the market and or had low print runs).

[@fcdavidg4751]

@@LegallyInsaneGamer So games that skyrocket in price like brotherhood of steel on OG XBOX, it goes from being $30 to $60 to $80 all in a span on 2 months, will this game ever return to that or exceed that price point or is that merely a once in a lifetime experience. Some of these game feel like stonks lol how they go up so fast then down the next

Lol I have the 6th, 7th and 8th sense. Was buying all kinds of rare and gem games before they became them and on the cheap. Didn't even have to watch KZbinrs or reviews to know about 13 sentinals, just natural instinct lol. I have kids, family and a full time job with long hours these days plus a mortgage to pay for so can't dedicate as much time as I use to as these KZbinrs thinking they are the brightest beans. Better slow down have you noticed the reprints that are going to start flooding the market, don't buy any games over $29.99 peepS
