Reseller Refuses to Sell Game at Market Value

#videogames #nintendo #N64
We are at the SoCal Gaming Expo and trying to complete our Nintendo Quest! We looked up the top 100 games (from IGN) on every Nintendo system and picked out the top 10 on each that costs $20 or less. We have already completed our NES and SNES lists, so today our goal is to complete our N64 list!

Asking a reseller for market prices is like asking Sony for bloodborne PC or remaster. Jus’t won’t happend.

"because it's a con" ....hence why I don't go to cons

[@ToiletClogger1945]

" I've never played Star Fox 64 before..." a tear rolled down my cheek

I have now, and it's great! 😀

[@fezwhy]

A problem I find all too often at conventions. Games marked way too high. You did the right thing by searching around and you found some great deals

[@hypnosprojecthq3519]

"because its a con"... No wonder I kill it vending conventions. I'm there to sell and take advantage of being in front of a bunch of people, not to upcharge like crazy.

@@user-rl1dp1hz8z nope. Midwest Gaming Classic costs me $1800 for our booth, but you price well, sell a lot, pay your staff well, and still make some good money! It's a great time! I only do big cons that have lots of people, and those are also the most costly to vend.

[@hypnosprojecthq3519]

@@user-rl1dp1hz8z I don't get free tables at all! I only charge at big conventions, and we pay up for premium booths, price our inventory at or below eBay, and make a ton of money. No need to be sassy. 😉

Well he has a point. I understand that you have to pay for the table at the convention, but that doesn't give you a reason to 2x your prices.

[@jrpgwife]

Yes, we noticed and zoomed in on Caleb. We had a good laugh on the fun silliness 😅

[@richard_gonzalez]

A lot of times, resellers upcharge when you go to an expo. They hope that people impulse buy or get fomo. One of the unfortunate realizations I made when first going to conventions.

[@joshhines7338]

@richard_gonzalez you nailed It. I get they're paying to be at the event to sell, bit usually vendors who buy are paying what??? 40-60% maybe when they do buy. So they're already making bank on their items.

[@str8nashtygaming466]

​@joshhines7338 I wouldn't say " made bank". Takes alot of time to price items, load and move/ set up. Plus EVERYONE is gonna try to negotiate a lower price. Which is why they try not go lower unless it's for multiple items.

[@user-rl1dp1hz8z]

Conventions are expensive to sell at, lots of overhead. If you don't like the price don't buy it, you don't have to cry online and pretend its content.

[@moses4484]

Great video! Perfect Dark was my childhood and my first FPS. One of my favorite things to do was put on 4 player split screen battle with a nice big arena like Temple and all weapons were explosives. Then watch the framerate drop to literal single digits and pray the N64 expansion pack didnt melt out of the console. Or play against the sims with remote mines because they could throw them but couldn't trigger the explosives, so the rooms would get filled with tons of mines and the first one to explode would trigger these massive waves of explosions. Good times. Enjoy the pickups! Looking forward to the next vid!

[@JRPGLife]

Hahaha love this! I totally forgot about the explosive ammo modes! Thanks for watching 😀

Congratulations on your N64 selection. I remember playing perfect dark on the N64 with my sister. I always would use the tranquilizer on the one ally and his head would keep bobbing . And later after getting my first plasma tv , it looked soo bad . I do have older tv's , to play the older systems. Like that you guys actually play the games , thats the best part

[@peepers30008]

@@JRPGLife Ah sorry bout that, guess he just gives me the ickey and pushy seller/stalker vibes an can't personally deal with him as too many bad interactions with him wanting to way undercut prices or trying to sell at scalper prices that as a business and a person I just would rather talk/buy from anyone else imo. Most of the issues revolved around him trying to underpay me for games that was CIB an him wanting 30% of loose title cost while pretending hes giving me a "fair" deal

[@Cheeseshredder]

@@peepers30008 It doesn't hurt you to be nice. Even if he was trying to underpay you for something, all you can do is refuse. I don't know how that comes across as a stalker vibe.

[@peepers30008]

@@Cheeseshredder The stalker vibe came from when I refused to sell to him at his price he followed me an my wife thru a convention for nearly 3 hours before my wife got uncomfortable an wanted to just leave. So thats what I meant.

[@dinkyvision]

Being into retro games and not already having Starfox 64, Waverace or Perfect Dark tells me all I need to know. 3 of the most popular carts of that console that basically everyone had.

[@JRPGLife]

To be honest, the Nintendo Quest collection is separate from our main collection. We did already have all three of these games in our main collection 😅

I feel like Pokémon Snap should be on your N64 list!! Is it really not in the top 100 games? It’s one of my favorite games on the console and Pricecharting has it at $15 for a loose copy so it fits your budget

[@JRPGLife]

We were surprised as well 🤔

U should also get DOOM 64, Quake 64 and Duke Nukem 64. I played the crap out of those games as a kid lol. Good times. And Goldeneye 007 is an obvious pick. Those gamss are certainly going to be a little more expensive than $20.

This is a cool idea, you wouldnt happen to have that nintendo quest png would you? would love to print it out too.

[@stashmerkin9576]

Sonic Wing Special is available on the PSN for PS3 and Vita at a fraction of the price of a physical copy. It's a little hard to find. If you search for Arcade Hits, you'll see all the Japanese arcade games they ported to PS1.

Last time I went to one was last year and I found sealed Star Fox 64 on the Nintendo 3DS and a sealed The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of time master quest and other stuff for a very cheap price.

One of my local video game stores sells their games at con prices. So the only games he really sells are the cheap games and no actual collector buys stuff in his storefront. But when he goes to cons, he doesnt have to change any of his prices because he's already at the price point every one else is at, but he barely does conventions.

Yeah definitely some big price variances. Some good prices from people thinning the collection or getting out of the hobby and some not so good prices from people trying to make a living off of reselling.

[@erikjohanson3929]

What kind of weird expos do you have over in the US? Over here in Sweden from my experience, they tend to sell a bit cheaper on expos and the like. When you go to expos, you don't go to buy at over or at current value. You go to expos to make deals, not to waste your money. I also see that Twilight Princess on the Wii on your list. I am interested to see if you get it for the same price I did about a year and a half ago, found it for 30SEK in a secondhand store, which would be around 3 of your USD. I bought the game, then I went and bought a Nintendo Wii on the next gaming expo I went to.

[@JRPGLife]

It will definitely be more than that here in the US, but great find! 😀

“Because it’s a con” 😂 Totally is lol. Outside of being a KZbinr or sourcing for a shop I don’t really understand conventions. Why pay so much money just to walk in the door (gas, hotel, food, time, admission, etc) to pay over eBay prices? Passed on going to SEGE (4 hour drive for me) this weekend and justified my purchase of Lunar cib on eBay for 30 dollars under price charting.
