Back in the 90s South Park ended it's season with a cliffhanger on who is Cartmen's Father. The next seasons first episode ignored the follow up and instead gave the fans a random Terrance and Phillip episode. Now I have this feeling again. I have been waiting for the continuation from last Thursday's episode.

I personally can't see prices going down all that much anytime soon, especially for the Pokemon games and other franchises people are attached to! For example, I have Pokemon Emerald complete in box and its sitting at $570 CAN on pricecharting and it just keeps going up! Last year I think it was around $450 CAN or so and I was thinking of selling it but honestly now i'm not sure it will ever go down in price

I work next door to goodwill her in Arizona, and found amazing things. Best thing to do is ask the staff when they stock! Rick, most of your goodwill visits are picked already. With the picture in your room, use small mirror panels, and led lights to create depth and make the room look bigger!! I found $100-$1000 games right of the cart when they bring them out! Saves a lot of time! Also what exactly is your real job?

That is one of the perks of this "hobby", you took four games from the shelf, boom, thousand bucks you needed to fix the house. I did that, at the end of last year, I sold some video games I didn't care for, but had good value, 400 bucks almost out of thin air. Today I actually decided to get rid of some of my controllers, went and traded them in at a second hand store in town, got store credit and got a new switch pro controller I wanted, I only had to spend like 8 dls. So, clutter and 8 dollars for a new switch pro controller, definitely not bad.

Someone else already commented this but I would strongly recommend blackout curtains for the two windows as this will increase the intensity of the glow from your LED strips once attached to B2TF print. To the left and right of each window you could put up mirrors. This would give the illusion of more space to your game room (and shouldn't be too expensive either). Last, across the very top, I would find some retro poster books that have smaller 8X11 size tear outs and line them up going left to right. Back in the 90s I filled every inch of my wall space with action figures which gave a varied, detailed, and interesting look to my bedroom. Left a bunch of small holes in the walls of which my parents were not too happy with but it's nothing a little putty can't fix. Anyway, love the channel! Keep producing these great videos and I'll keep watching them.

$10 Collection was amazing but I hear you. And your point was obviously proven. The selling topic is important to touch on. My lord, I’ve really considered doing a clean sweep and starting over. This stuff is worth more now than ever and with emulation and console collections, we don’t need the physical media. But I’m SO attached. I’ve had a lot of these since the 80s.

Have you ever thought about ditching or selling the black shelving units on the back wall there and going with bracket shelving with wood shelves cut to size so that could stretch all the way from one wall to the other, but still a good depth? Make the best use of your space? Just an idea, it's what I do with my own collection and I really like it.

I think your wall would look great if you painted a strip underneath the picture black and add the two flaming tire tracks leading up to the pic. Wow mind blown! Either way its awesome Rick!!!

Rick, love the Back To The Future Delorean picture. Perfect for the room and the right size too. And although it sucks to have to sell some of your stuff for home repairs, how great is it that you have the ability to do so? I mean you don't have to dip into savings or get a loan and personally, I think that's great. And I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we will be happy watching anything you want to film. Whether it's buying games, movies, toys, or really anything at all. It's your enthusiasm for what you do and your great personality that makes your channel so enjoyable. So basically if you're happy we're happy!

Love the large DeLorean print. It's perfect on that wall. The only thing I'd suggest is to get some light blocking curtains on those windows. UV light kills collectibles.

Hey Rick fun fact about the Batman films the original movie came out in 1943 and there's another from 1949 both black and white. It's awesome you got those Batman movies I used to watch them a lot as a kid. Though, some parts of the movies were a disappointment, because as I got older I learned the original story and history of Batman. Either way had good with these films.

I live in Vegas and the market is so bad for used games. There's so many people and so many "re-sellers" and technology is so big that everyone is familiar with eBay and Mercari etc. so everyone on fb marketplace charges eBay pricing.

Also most of the Goodwills put their stuff on the auction website unfortunately. The finds aren't anything amazing honestly, like today I found an Old Skool Dual Analog Wii controller, two oem Wii Nun-chucks, two 3rd party Nun-chucks, a Nerf Wii steering wheel, a 360 black controller with white battery cover, and a 3rd party PS1 controller. They wanted $30 for everything and I know that isn't the worst deal, but I asked for maybe a few bucks off bc everything was pretty dirty and had marks all over em. The manager on duty said they don't do discounts on anything bc it's already a good deal(lie, plenty of people get discounts at goodwill when they request it) so I didn't grab the two 3rd party Nun-chucks or 3rd party PS1 controller and it went down to $15, so not too bad.

Can you make a video on all the games to look out for that are worth a lot? For those common consoles you may find games for in thrift stores or pawn shops.

I know this video was a year ago or so but I'm catching up on your other videos and just yesterday I found the Back to the Future Trilogy in the box with the extra VHS tape. The first Back to the Future Part 1 was not opened and sealed from the factory. I think that will be the first tape, actually anything, I'm going to send in and get graded. Or at least check it out. Thanks to your advice on your videos. Thank you very much.

Your right to check the cds for ps1 games at goodwill. The best find I got was Resident Evil Director's cut for 2$, among a few other ps1 games for 1$ each. Goodwill is a great place. I find that the dealers dont always look there as they are usually out of the way. I always find something when I go in. For your next series I really like seeing the vintage toys/memorabilia you find at the markets and thrift stores. Again great content, you are always fun to watch :)
