Retro Games Are Selling For HOW MUCH?! | eBay Market Watch

[@MrSerpico145]

Everything's RARE lol

[@KMACKTIME]

The reason why that copy of rocket league sold so high is the original collectors edition came with a code for an in game item that was removed from the item store. The only way to get it now is with that code.

[@Phaac2]

Plot twist: PeteDorr actually bought all of these

[@teal7652]

I was at a half price bookstore today and saw Mario Kart Double Dash being sold for 150 usd. Obviously that was outrageously priced, but this kind of stuff only happens because of the general inflation of retro games. So incredibly stupid

[@mikgenta]

My half price used to have to many atlus jrpgs and now they’re super spiked in price

[@OlleForsberg]

Shopping second hand has been totally ruined since the internet. They always feel like they can charge anything for stuff they know nothing about just by checking eBay prices. I can hardly ever find great deals anymore.

[@TheWoody0007]

it does not help that there's massive inflation in the US economy, causing the prices of everything going up

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

GameCube sold better than they let on. Me and everyone I knew had one and we all had the best games on it. There's no excuse to charge over a hundred bucks for any mainline Nintendo GameCube game that every GameCube owner had. But the resellers know those are the games that buyers will go for first. That's the reason for the inflated prices. It's greed. It's not rare. IT'S GREED.

[@richterbelmont5506]

Difference between inflation and price gouging

[@TTVPUTTEMINACASKET]

Dude I’ve been looking for your channel for like a year I lost my email and all other KZbin accounts I couldn’t quite remember the name and finally ive been watching for years but it literally slipped my mind comes with aging lmfao

[@AJRetroGamer]

I always told myself that the day Shenmue on Dreamcast becomes expensive, we have officially entered a new era of collecting.

[@MiamiSunrise]

I would definitely like to see more of these pricing highlight videos. Its fun seeing what you have found out there and its really entertaining and fun seeing things we didnt know existed too. Thanks Pete, great idea!

[@ProjectGameVault]

Emulators changed my life 😊

[@DescipleOfDJK]

ODE/Flashcarts for me.

[@mutezone]

This is why I stopped collecting retro years ago when prices became stupidly expensive based on speculation & FOMO. For me its emulation, flashcarts & remasters.

[@paulocamoes6816]

Exactly this. That's why I mostly just collect for the ps4/ps5 and switch nowadays. Between my ps5 and my switch, I have an amazing catalog of remakes and and remaster of a lot of retro titles that would be just impossible to get if I was looking at the original games.

[@paulocamoes6816]

I even laugh when I see people complain about the quantity of remasters/remakes coming out. Keep them coming, I say 😂

[@DescipleOfDJK]

Remasters 💀 hard pass on them

[@ianwood6438]

I’m annoyed with recent stuff I wanted astrobot controller to go with my physical copy but no people selling it 2/3 times the price

[@seekah1]

More of these please Pete, so interesting to see how people throw away $

[@TheUltimateMarioFan]

Learning Japanese and buying the $20 import would be cheaper for PDS.

[@GorTheMovieGod]

Always a good time when there is a new PeteDorr video

[@tiredofthisshieeet]

If I'm thinking of the right game, Splinter Cell has an exploit on the disc that modders use to mod the console. I can't remember if this is the specific one but I think so. Xbox 360 has a few games like that too

[@yxlplig33]

You are thinking of Splinter Cell 1 (black label, platinum, any version works). Double Agent Version 2 (Xbox/PS2/GC) is a distinctly different game from Double Agent X360/PC and nobody want to play the inferior PS2/GC versions. People might finally be discovering it is the 2nd best Splinter Cell game, and the Xbox version is the only way to play it properly.

[@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters]

@@yxlplig33 Love double agent on xbox. I didn't even know it existed back in the day when I played the 360 version which is one of the worst sequels I've ever played. The first 4 on xbox are 10/10 games.

[@tiredofthisshieeet]

@yxlplig33 thank you for the correction, it's been a while since I last read about it so memory was a little foggy. I think King Kong was one of the 360 games that let's you exploit a shader option to run a soft mod on the 360.

[@xXCigarXx]

Mechassault platinum hits is the game you are thinking of,there may be others.

[@Sedifet]

The Asian or Chinese\ Hong Kong variants are unique in that they play on a Japanese console (ntsc-j), but can often play in English. This makes them desirable for people that prefer Japanese over US, but do not speak Japanese. Also a better alternative for people in pal regions

[@its_all_jazz]

Hold my Wavebird!

[@majorg6065]

That was funny 😂

[@dayzeed]

It’s always neat to see what kind of miscellaneous video game stuff shows up on eBay lol. Great video Pete

[@sammy61187]

New Video soon ? Keep up the great work sir

[@seekah1]

I'm missing these, hope he's ok

[@firechar27]

Retro games pricing have gotten pretty insane in the past few years. I had my eye on a loose GBA copy of Link to the Past + 4 Swords, and browsing ebay, some people had it listed for $80 upwards. Thankfully I managed to snag an authentic copy for $26 plus a couple bucks shipping.

[@ADa89mixus]

This used to be nice hobby. :-)

[@rakeguy7703]

it's still is. You don't really need all those expensive games. Normal good games are still having standart price or price close to current games from PC

[@DescipleOfDJK]

ODE/Piracy

[@jhereklast7851]

Great video Pete!

[@Munishin]

To answer the bit about Reydllom it was extremely limited run from an LRG clone with even worse CS on the communication side of things as far as orders are concerned. The game itself is a traditional asset flip from an unknown "studio", but it was also a 1,000 print run. Pretty much all the runs they do are just horror asset flips. Either way the fact that they exist is going to make it a pain in the ass for future collector's decades from now so that's what I personally presume all the recent hype is about.

[@SuperVincenot]

lovely video mate

[@sinorcharlie]

I'm just here to support Pete and help with the algorythm!

[@TheUltimateMarioFan]

That tin trash can is very very rare. But only worth $400-500.

[@arcadeutopia3035]

Yeah I was checking the Sega Mega CD and prices have jumped right up 😮

[@RetroHabit82]

You know what else is expensive? Splatterhouse figures from Unbox Industries

[@gogosegaga]

What’s the worst part is these scalpers are flying all the way to Japan to buy stuff because they have bled dry the supply stock of retro games here. It’s just sick.

[@ivereturned]

I'm sure Japan are happy to make a few bucks

[@T21989]

@@gogosegaga still some deals there. I got imports saturn games for good prices .

[@gogosegaga]

@@T21989true I was in Osaka early this year and picked up a ‘junk’ Sega Saturn which actually worked fine for $18! Though I’m sure this source of cheap retro games will dry out soon.

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

There's a local guy here in my town who has dozens of PEGI copies of popular games like Black Ops 1 & 2 for around $30-40. He has been sitting on them since 2020 lol.

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

I doubt there's very many people regularly flying to Japan just to buy inventory, but I know there are some local shops that will sell online on eBay and other marketplaces almost exclusively to Americans because USD is so valuable there right now with the Yen being as weak as it is.

[@DwemerTom]

I've been getting some good deals on original Xbox and 360 games lately. Trying to grab what I want before prices really skyrocket

[@Progressive.G]

Good showcase 👍

[@rawsick]

Hey Pete did you give up on collecting GameCube?

[@AustinStatkus]

I didn't realize Spike Mcfang was that much. I never looked it up and I sold one on whatnot for literally 2 dollars a few weeks ago. My anger cannot be accurately expressed.

[@collinf9334]

I just seen the buyer bragging about buying that on Facebook! Unfortunately was a reseller

[@AustinStatkus]

@@collinf9334 I figured he was. The honest thing would have been to clue me in to what I had, but I guess I can't exactly blame him, either.

[@christiancountryboyilovejesus]

You ever gonna make a Mercia video?

[@patwilliams7362]

Why are you not searching sold/completed item? Isn't that how the market is set? I have never sold my stuff. Just asking.

[@sneakysquidgaming916]

I have godzilla in my collection, great game!

[@NothingOsaka]

I still have my kuon and Godzilla on fisplay and olay often it's funny to me how expensive they go for now i just love those two games and would.never sell.

[@iSnags]

Bro I ben waiting for def jam fight for ny to drop in price for years now lmaooo

[@mmarshfairc3]

You can install a hard drive into the back of PS2 and play every game :)

[@oOignignoktOo1]

oof I had a CiB Shenmue I sold it a couple years ago for $40

[@D_trux]

Thank god for emulation

[@majorg6065]

It still amazes me how much retro games are worth! I have about 200 OG Xbox games. Current day gaming sucks!!

[@Biggsmech]

Skylanders Imaginators PS4 game is going over 30$ but Skylanders Trap Team PS4 game Is going for 65$ Which isn’t a lot compared to other games. But I thought they were cheap for a while. And when did Warhammer 40k space marine for 360 spike so hard

[@desmaku87]

wtf i bought a used CIB copy of Shenmue earlier this year for 25 bucks from Half Price Books, what kind crack are they smoking lol

[@operoverlord]

I don't trust ebay...I've noticed some inconsistencies with sold items compared to for sale items. I would have something in my saved searches, and never get any newer or better deals on the item, but somehow the sold listings would show a recent great deal on the item I was looking to buy. I think ebay is using AI to show certain listings according to a buyers past purchases. I also think ebay sellers are somehow able to manipulate the sold bids to show that they sell higher than expected, and just relist the item hoping a sucker will buy it at the higher price.

[@dynastyp]

Yeah... I also noticed some bs like that and ppl jumping on the hook throwing away silly money because of FOMO skyrocketing prices up. I cant believe some games x2 their price in one single year, thats BS. My best advice for your budgeds and mental health is to simplify the collection with the titles that you REALLY want and forget about others that, even if you wish them its not worth or are already very expensive, you have to make sacrifices... Try to buy other platforms that are still cheap before the prices go up, because they will end up doing it too when we least think about it. Right now im just grabbing XBOX OG,PS3,WII,Máster system AND some ps2 tittles before suc*ers skyrocket them too... I'm spending lately money at faster rate than i wish but its the best we can do before It goes mad in these systems too.

[@treedeblue]

Peter Dorr lol

[@Green.Blood.]

Man I can’t stand ai descriptions. Ever since they added that I feel like I’m in the dark with so many items.

[@gotcha1248]

Mybe for some sellers i just get lowballs

[@Epichistoryfacts__]

Hey guys, why is it that these older games sell better than the newer gen PlayStation games like ps4 and 5?

[@rechtehaber]

these prices are like that because Pete Dorr would buy it for 100 dollars less.

[@TheNintendoDScollector]

Trust me, there's a lot more ds games you've never heard of.

[@CursedTeardrop]

Be careful of the recent scam going around on eBay of people selling counterfeit PS1 games.

[@EnOrangeSoffa]

If you wanna see a "retro" item sell for a SEA countrys gdp wait for the PS5 30th Anniversary set to release 🤣

ODE supremacy

[@xBlitzerx]

Why hasn't Sega remastered/remade PDS?

[@yxlplig33]

Even if Sega still had the source code, trust me, we don't want the PDS re-release they would produce today. Anyone that actually cares about the game should either get an ODE, play the $20 Japanese version, or emulate it. It's a very good game, a top 10 RPG for me and worth whatever hoops are necessary to jump through to play it.

[@Master-Mo]

They lost the source code unfortunately...

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

Shenmue isn't rare. You can go to any retro game store and find a copy. I spent 50 bucks on it before Covid. Dreamcast games aren't rare.

[@Horrordelic]

It is sure more rare than ps2 games..

[@dynastyp]

Dreamcast games prices are skyrocketing insanely in 2024 at least here in Europe... Some common tittles like crazy taxi 2 that cost arround 50€ in 2023 are now close to 100€ in 2024. Its just silly.

[@ozmond]

Cry about it

[@alwhitney1968]

Dude, Quit saying “Holy Grail” it’s disrespectful, and just sounds stupid. The word holy is unnecessary. It’s just … Grail. I’ve seen many videos talking about gaming grails and that’s the only word ever used.

[@gagebittles4760]

looked up buying old games and pressed recently uploaded and yours was one of the first to pop up. I'm planning on doing this to every video that pops up as well. I'm literally gonna sell everything for a couple hundred dollars maybe a little more. It needs to go quick and I'm offering half price if not quarter for everything so it'd be a pleasure if we could work something out. I don't know how we could get in contact so is there any way that we could contact each other for more information, pictures, ECT?
