I gotta ask.. where do these guys that you buy from find all these grails and other crazy rare stuff? lol

[@gwildor8543]

I bought 10 sealed Pippin’s off of eBay about a decade ago for 100 bucks plus shipping. Still have them. Been waiting for one of you KZbin guys to get people excited to flip mine lol. Thanks RetroRick.

[@Cavlo]

You bought 10 sealed niche consoles in 2013 just to wait for a youtube video to come out about them?

[@Tallpaaaul]

😂😂😂😂

[@gwildor8543]

@@Cavlo I bought them because I had never heard of them, thought the price was too perfect. And then just had them in my collection. Then I noticed as KZbinrs mention games and consoles, the price goes sky high.

[@canadasugardaddysugardaddy1797]

We know 3 guys wanted to pay $600 plus for the Pokemon but if you went around trying to sell the Apple, would you have anyone wanting to buy it for $600? If the answer is no, then you know which one is more valuable

[@EgaTehPro]

Not true. So many more people know about Pokemon than the Apple system.

[@maxque2841]

That’s not how value works lol. If we are talking about what’s easier to sell then yeah, it’s obviously the pokemon, but that doesn’t mean the other isn’t as valuable.

[@Fast_Travel_Gamer]

Man, those Pokemon games are much more valuable that that Pippin. That hurt me! The Pippin is cool but it has no purpose besides just as a collectible, which I can totally understand. Either way, cool video!

[@serbowdster2311]

As a 43 year old man from the uk 🇬🇧, life gaming for me started with my Amstrad cpc 464 and the Commodore 64 but the tape cassette versions pre disk( oh the hell of loading games) but I guess you could say I grew up in the game console boom era, I started with the NES, then SNES, mega drive, game boy, lynx, mega cd, then moved into the PlayStation consoles to my current ps5, all still stored in my loft. but what I love is when you show rare consoles from random company’s that never made it to the uk 🇬🇧 like stuff from Japan and the USA that came from company’s you would never have thought made game consoles, super interesting. Keep up the good work brother. Wishing you all the success with the store.

First time I saw one of these was in a Bangkok retro shop called O Corner. This shop has some super rare items but the cost is high as they import I assume from Japan. It is rare but not everyone knows what they are unless you are super into Apple retro or deep into “other” retro stuff

[@GamerLive247]

bro. banana man at the end. thats the best lol

[@RectWizard]

Bandai is actually the company that partnered with apple to make these which is pretty cool they also had them in black as well.

[@lordcheesus1013]

It's a sweet idea: trading some of the best Pokemon games from the OG gen of games for a grail. The problem is I think you tried selling with businesses instead of collectors. If you tried selling with collectors you'd probably could've gotten more for that trio of gameboy grails.
