[@samtheelf7]

I was trying to tell you but you never saw keep an eye out. A lot of good wills are lowering their board games, dvds and video games to 99 cents.

[@samtheelf7]

My local one even has signs up about it. But now all electronics are "Priced as marked" used to be 2.99 now I'm seeing 14.99 plus.

[@chicklinsoop]

Hey @Retro Rick You have inspired me to buy and resell games to start a collection. I have one issue though, whenever I sell something on eBay PayPal holds those funds for WEEKS! What do I do to fix/decrease the holding time. Thanks!

[@JOESSECRETGARDEN85]

Sell games on Amazon I spent a few hundred so far in Sega Genesis games also if you're looking for a game check out amazon

[@twogoldenfire4101]

How old are the videos because I was wanting something you were selling and it was not there

[@CollectorsLuck]

Fire emblem wow! Great finds Rick! (:

[@barhoumm.7110]

We need more videos from you :D

[@CollectorsLuck]

@@barhoumm.7110 I recently purchased a world of nintendo cabinet. Video coming soon 😉

Hello love ur vids collectorsluck

[@Xavier086]

Need more vids🙏

[@retrorick]

thanks man, it was pretty wild to find that for $1!

[@Igetzmon3y22]

you missed mary kate and ashley sweet 16 for the ps2 Mr "I don't see anymore video games over here" LOL

[@Emceemur]

That DvD spreadsheet tho. That’s incredible work. I’ve often wondered too how to acquire knowledge on DvDs. I’ve always got smelly resellers on my heels while game hunting and there’s so little time to look things up! It’s dog eat dog out there. Lol

[@retrorick]

The legend is here! And yes, you ain’t lying!

[@fettuccinefred3941]

Your dvd knowledge just blows my mind everytime

[@nfsrival1499]

As a ps3 collector it always warms my heart to see pickups. Thanks for all of the tips and entertainment dude👍

[@juliekmunden]

Yes, I love looking through DVD's. Good find. TFS.

[@joshuamccarty4981]

Well, you hooked me for your patreon with the lists of prices!! Thanks! I go out with my nephew and niece to shop. They are building money towards an epic Disneyland trip that was supposed to happen last June! Someday we will return and this will fund all of their fun! Thanks!

[@randomrandomness8743]

2:46 - when the $10 game collection is better stocked than the pawn shop you know you've done good 😆

[@doormatter20]

Fire Emblem is one of my favorite series. I still don’t have that one, but I bought Path of Radiance on GameCube in college. So glad I got that back when it was like $40.

[@peaceanlovengodwetrust5053]

Just got path of radiance for $2 with 13 other GameCube games and 4 og Xbox games for $35 off Craigslist hadn't even heard of it. Pretty fun game though

[@retrorick]

they are such great games!

[@Puppet_Doctor]

Found your channel from KZbin recommend and been binging this series all week. I have finally caught up and looking forward to new episodes. Thanks for continuing this very entertaining and informative series.

[@jaytackett6868]

Another great video and great haul. I have started to frequent my local goodwill because of you and was getting a bit discouraged, but my last couple trips I have been able to leave with a stack of games to fill in some collection holes. Thank you for your videos.

[@retrorick]

yes!!! its crazy how it works like that!

[@eddiewin25]

$2 for fire emblem that’s is insane i need to hit up goodwill now that is an insane find !! Been searching for that game for under that crazy resale price to complete my fire emblem collection. Lucky man

[@retrorick]

pretty wild...thanks for watching Edwin!

[@GamingOffTheGrid]

You lucky dog! Gotta love that feeling of when you find something so good you can barely film from shaking. Ahhhh the thrill of the hunt :). Great work per usual man!

[@Spikeland]

Believe it or not but that lego Indiana Jones 2 you passed on sells for a good price

[@retrorick]

oh yeah? I already have it

[@UKNOWHO425]

@@retrorick he was saying so you could re-sell it dude

[@harryclarke7232]

@@UKNOWHO425 yeah that was quite a shitty response

[@xschx1]

I was thinking the same thing but looked it up and it's only worth about $6 but for $1 I'd grab it and through it in a bundle or something

[@BigTexan7]

Where is this Goodwill? All mine ever has is moldy books, disco records and exercise routine videos.

[@kevinpatterson8901]

Mine always has good games with empty cases

[@ShitpostJay]

@@kevinpatterson8901 I almost found Zelda twilight princess for wii at goodwill. Sadly no disc present.

[@buildyourcomputer]

I never even see games they must send all of them to sell online in my area it seems. Must be nice to find things to actually sell.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@buildyourcomputer I know! The last time I went to mine was 3 days ago, this was the *first* time I've actually seen *any* video game stuff. An overpriced Atari Pacman AtGames Blast ($4.something, I picked up others in that series on clearance at Walmart for $4.88 new) and Wii Balance Board for $14.97... I found one online from Goodwill in Seattle (I'm outside of Cleveland, OH) for cheaper, free shipping *and* Wii Fit!

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@ShitpostJay You might have been able to flip even *that* on Ebay, sadly. 🤣

[@nostalgiaave6966]

Wow! Awesome finds! I was shaking when I saw you pulled fire emblem. Keep up the great content!

[@Dinguskhan5003]

you really inspire me i did stuff like this before but not much but you inspired me to do more and I've found so many good games, thank you!

[@georgestainko9649]

Videos like this is what got me into this hobby and keeps me going ! awesome week Rick and always amazing content !

[@midnightpanthora]

Fair play finding all those at the thrift. Yeah I'd love to ply fire emblem games but they are always so much. I had no idea that wii game was so much great find for a dollar💲😊

[@andrewblumenthal6611]

AMAZING! And hey, you also missed Mary Kate for PS2 when you picked up that second Mario Galaxy. A real ringer ;)!

[@retrorick]

hahaha dang it , i missed it!

[@austingeorgakis5215]

Great haul!! this past weekend I cleared out a GameStop before they closed. got crazy good deals. everything from sealed ps5 games and switch for $15 to used Xbox 360 and ps3 games for 10 cents

[@HDLowrider03]

I like that you show your receipts, example sold listings, what you find as you're in the stores, etc. etc. etc., as proof of how it is going for you, but it is all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. I have gone out searching around my area here in SoCal and man! I just don't find any similar sweet finds as yours. But I appreciate all the info that you post up and any that help you out with tips, as you state in your videos. I will continue searching in my area.

[@DannyGPro]

Amazing haul Rick! You my favorite to follow, congrats on a great find and video!

[@Videogamelover58]

What an Unbelievable Haul.. I'm speechless!

[@HotWheelsandRC]

Wow. I just looked up "How the west was fun" and you weren't lying. Crazy stuff. Thanks for the heads up, Its now on my radar!

[@nostalgic7821]

Kinda crazy finding Fire emblem. I literally heard your heart racing and you taking a deep breath. No other feeling like in the world. My goodwill was sending all the games off for auction on shopgoodwill.

[@driley1988]

Very nice! The goodwills where I'm from haven't been getting any games lately not even sports games 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@RussLyman]

You have such amazing luck in your area man. I'm seriously going to go to GoodWills here and do an episode to show you the difference ha That collection sure has grown man, killing It. That room is looking stock and full 😁👍

[@CollectorsLuck]

Id love to watch that video, you really should do it! (:

[@Mischieff3k]

That Fire Emblem!!! Excited for you!

[@whatsintheboxofpoppyraine]

If coralline had the 3d glasses I would have got that in a heart beat I love that movie so much

[@theunknown1228]

Damn channel growing fast! Keep up the good videos !

[@ach-eww1866]

My local area has a game store, and Dollar, Tree that both sell movies for $1 a piece and that's how I've gotten 80% of my movie collection so far, 600 movies from Avengers to Disney to Horror Movies

[@retrorick]

oh wow..that is pretty incredible!

[@NGWOOD]

Good haul man. The thrill of the hunt. Keep it up!

[@swissmrkc]

Wolfenstein New Order: "have no idea if it's good or not" love you man but how do you have no idea?? This was on many game of the year lists and still to this day one of the best FPS narrative surprises of the last decade. Sparked a revival of the series

[@lawfullucyless6715]

So good.

[@noahboat580]

I have the 2 disc set of that, and Old Blood. Those are really solid games

[@thelostgoonie]

Wow, just wow. Fire Emblem is an incredible find in the wild. Nice scores. Loved the Ernest movies too!

[@dannydembek2441]

Hey Rick. Awesome score!! Since adopting your game hunting method I have found some killer deals!! Best ones so far was 3s company complete dvd series(minus season 5) paid $35 for all of it and sold it for $190! Then I found a n64 with expansion, 2 OEM controller, and mario 64,donkey kong 64, and mario kart 64, all for $50. I couldn't believe it. Kept what I wanted and sold the rest! Made a killing on it

[@physicalmediaman]

Those Midnite Movie double features usually go for a decent amount. $20 can't beat that. How the West was Fun!!! What a find. One of my 2 favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movies. That and Double Double Toil and Trouble also worth a decent amount. I've never seen either in the wild for less than $40. Those Wii deals were awesome. Great video as always!!

[@MicrowavableScience]

Wow Rick, always wheelin' when theres big dealin'! Great stuff Rick.

[@yenterpriseonebay]

This man's Goodwills are night and day different than my Goodwills!

[@donovanbradford8231]

Man that takes me back to my teens. I had several if the double horror features from the early and mid 2000's. I really liked Comedy of Terrors and The Raven. Cool pick up.

[@pl3ysnontinde937]

Wow. My best find and one of my only good finds for a while was a black 3ds boxed. I booted it up and checked the downloadable games and there was the 20 free retro games you got if you bought the 3ds while it was still 250. All for about 50 bucks. They didn’t even have an account on there yet so I guess they literally never played it. Immaculate as well.

[@CollectorsLuck]

New Video LETS GO!

AYEEEEEEE!

Love this series. I love the process and the example you set by showing us what works and what doesn't work.

[@PkmnMasterNeb]

Love Radiant Dawn! Crazy to find that at a goodwill. Awesome find!

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

What a haul! Amazing Rick. I unfortunately was 2 minutes too late today and missed out on some complete in box Genesis games. Spoke to the guy though and was happy they were going to a good home. Right place, wrong time but it's all good. Let the hunt continue! 👍

[@bigjimnc55]

Just wanted to let you know that I started going to Goodwills and thrift stores since the summer after coming across your channel. Flipped primarily DVDs and some games in order to help buy an iPad, as well as expand my personnel game and movie collection.

[@vincentdeventer8858]

So stoked for you on the Fire Emblem pickup, Rick. Always glad to see your perseverance pay off

[@GamerAhmer]

AMAZING finds!! Very lucky!!

[@dustyshoopman845]

One of those games had a blue sticker while all the rest had a green sticker. That's why the one game was $2 and all the rest were only $1.

[@retrorick]

yeah but it wasnt green or blue week, so they shouldnt have been discounted

[@BooshmanLee]

@@retrorick Pretty scummy you took advantage of a legit mistake by the staff member then. Had she overcharged I'm sure you would have pointed it out to her. If people want to pay eBay prices after you've hunted out these games and DVD's for cheap that's a fair deal, but taking 12 dollars from a charity that you frequent is really low.

[@joelbuckallew]

@@BooshmanLee bold of you to call goodwill a charity

[@BooshmanLee]

@@joelbuckallew From the internets: "Goodwill is a network of 162 worldwide autonomous nonprofit charitable organizations".

[@itskappa5375]

i recently started watching your series, which inspired me to go to my pawn shop today and i found Digimon World Dusk, which sells for $70 CIB, and i only spent one dollar on it!!

[@CincyGameHunting]

EPIC Wii finds this week brother!!!

[@xschx1]

Glad I watched this because I have the he man complete remake still sealed and it's worth $80 used. I'll have to dig it out. I sold the 30th with the castle a few years ago for decent money. I got that on clearance and never opened it because it was numbered and I knew that one would be worth money but never thought the $9 remake would skyrocket. So many dvds are worth a ton when they go out of print.

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

How do you know which DVDs to grab? I suspect you don’t go through everything each time you stop at goodwill. Is there a list somewhere of more expensive titles, or have you just learned over time?

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

Wow. I asked this while watching. Should have just waited lol

[@k9keo]

Been flipping Mario Wii games they sell for a good profit. You hit the jackpot. 💰

[@thewickedgamah9027]

Wow man! Yeah those were definitely put out minutes before you saw them. Timing is everything!

[@KevinCarlino]

Rick, please do a tips video on selling items on ebay! Packaging/shipping/estimating costs is something I'd love to learn more about.

[@Vintagetoysandcollectables]

Everyone loves a cheeky deal on games. Great work man. Love your videos, keep up the good work

[@jojo90s4]

Really appreciate the DVD information thanks so much

[@zpepgamer]

Great vid! You missed Wii Namco Museum Remix just beside the big hall you got in Goodwill. It's worth a bit! To be honest, you were probably too excited with your find🤣🤣🤣

[@TokyoACR]

I own most of the Mary Kate and Ashley movies on DVD. So glad I picked them up when they came out! They're crazy expensive now.

[@vvanasperen]

Great episode. I'm so hooked to your channel.👌🏻🤭

[@joshmiller887]

Holy crap! What a good find! I wish my local goodwill didn’t pick all games erode they get to the floor. Thanks for the video!

[@AdamIzUhDork]

When you did the recap, was that a Battle Troll on the ground in the background? I use to have all of them when I was a kid. Super nostalgic!

[@NESADDICT]

Your goodwill is far superior to mine!

[@noahboat580]

Pshhh tell me about it 😅

[@kristinbartlett8541]

I bought the ultimate find this week. I work at a local thrift store here in Kansas that sells things really really cheap. I found an original game boy in the case with Zelda links awakening, AND 4 GBA games. They were Zelda four swords, Zelda Minish cap, battleship/risk/clue, and battle bots. ONLY $1.25 AFTER TAX. I need to clean the GB up and try to get it to work.

[@ynotplay]

Well done on that one. Some great games there. Fire emblem is a great game.

[@christopherschulze3922]

Wow! I'm in the same boat! I love Fire Emblem but refuse to pay the price for Radiant Dawn. I'm still waiting to play it once I find a cheap copy out in the wild.

[@malachikoch1024]

Hey Retro Rick! I recently came across your channel and love your content! I know your big encouragement to people is that game hunting is not dead and you can still build a game collection on a budget from places like Goodwill. In my experience all the Goodwills around me sell online so if anything even has the potential to be valuable it immediately goes to their online auction sites and never hits store shelves. What advice would you give? Are any of the Goodwills around you like that?

[@mikeczelusniak2448]

Love the mega haul!!! Fire emblem!! What

[@oscarandrade1643]

Damn u lucky bastard 😉!! The thrifting gods really blessed u with this haul!!! Congrats on an amazing week!!! Rick,u sold me on the Patreon,crazy value 💯

[@estevang.4693]

I really enjoy your videos Rick; thank you!! I will start my own $10 collection :)

[@KamakaziUnicorn]

Awesome haul!!! The place where you found the lone mario game, I'm pretty sure I seen a mary Kate and Ashley game for PS2, probably not worth anything anyway lol

[@VautourMatt]

Awesome haul this episode! In my area I have far more luck hunting DVDs than video games. I regularly find DVDs in the $20-30 range but I find far fewer games in that range. Picked up 101 Dalmations (Glenn Close) today :)

[@jeffcox6539]

I'm jealous. My local Goodwill never has games. This guy make a channel off of going to goodwill.

Good to know about How the West Was Fun dvd thanks!

[@dialedinGandC]

Love the videos Rick! Word to all - Always check the cases of games you don't want. I can't tell you how many times I've found Wii sports in a wii play case. It literally happened yesterday as well.

[@ameliaplaysroblox8877]

[@northwestgamehunter5159]

That Fire Emblem find is JAW DROPPING. Congrats! Had to spend $50 for my copy many years ago. I had found Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (the Gamecube one) for $8 at a pawn shop 10+ years ago
