Sniping An eBay Auction of Retro Games Worth ~$400, Will I Win The Bid?

[@PeteDorr]

VIDEO SPOILERS: I’ll be doing a live unboxing reveal of this lot on my eBay Twitch stream tonight around 1030 EST to check the condition and completeness of the games. Stop by and say hi www.twitch.tv/petedorr

[@PeteDorr]

Here's the timestamp of the unboxing on my stream for those that missed it: www.twitch.tv/videos/1742494596?t=0h43m47s

[@LastnamedOrtega-bo8gr]

I had two channels that made a difference by what they were called by a company that let ordinary people board cast things

[@androidoficeandfire9667]

I remember you made videos like this in 2013 those were happier times

[@SulphurBorne]

Yea

[@getoutsidethecircle]

Follow him on twitch he does it every week almost

[@adamdam]

As always Pete. No matter how long the breaks are from KZbin, I always welcome a video from you, sensei.

[@joo_joo_eyeball]

this was so exciting to watch, please do more

[@jeffreycharest9093]

This is fantastic. Please do more. Glad to see you back man.

[@Boppers.]

Oh how I've missed this series of videos. I really wish you'd bring it back, Pete!

[@jewnersey7413]

Wasn’t sure if it’d take your $185.69 and finalize that sale price, or just place you over the highest bid. Thanks for confirming how it works, and hope you made your money back-GG!

[@MReginaldGoldstein77]

Great video, Pete. I recommend when you post these to KZbin, post these later with the unboxing edited into the end of the video so it shows the complete journey from start to finish. Thank you.

[@Trevlee74]

I do the same exact same thing with knives and axes. Not games I know, but I’m glad you’re still making content Pete.

[@saltytbone]

This was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed hearing your thought process, and my adrenaline was pumping at the end. I've half certain the circle at the end of the auction is just eBay's dopamine gimmick. Also thumbs up for sniping manually, the old school way. Code of the gladiators.

[@YureruKareru]

That ad-break at 1 second left. What a cliff-hanger.

[@SteamPunk96]

This was good fun, and Pete, you've GOT to play Toadstool Tour; it starts off as a pretty run of the mill but charming arcade golf game but the further your progress the more Mario themed it becomes, and it gets legitimately quite difficult, TONS of content.

[@berserkalucard]

It would be great to see more like this, I can't always check out your eBay streams cos I'm in Europe so the highlights like this would be cool! Nice steal on this lot!

[@SinfulJon]

Yeah Pete, this was cool. I use eBay often and have come away with some sweet deals doing the same thing. But yeah, I'd definitely enjoy watching more of these, take care!

[@amstacy09]

I’d love to see a follow up to see what condition the games are in. I love these videos!

[@WhoaNellyJake]

We would love more eBay videos again for sure!

[@SLtheFMAYT]

I really like this idea. Nice we get to see you take advantage of the good deals for once.

[@Eric_Ax]

Awesome idea for a video! I was on the edge of my seat!

[@JacksTurner89]

Really enjoyed this video, looking forward to any more you may do, and happy gaming 😀

[@OMGpandemic]

Seeing Medal of Honor Frontline in the listing brought back some memories. Had the PS2 version. So much fun.

[@pickflip4429]

More of this please , will be joining twitch for these now.

[@blake3one6]

We need more petedorr videos!

[@RavenMaster866]

Congratulations on the snipe Pete! Would love to see more content like this!

[@fink32]

The auction site that’s in my county extends the auction if bids are placed in the last minute. Honestly horrible as it only encourages bidding wars. I very really use it if it doesn’t have a buy now price.

[@Evilotto12]

Love these kinda videos! Please make more.

[@mulanmiller5000]

Great video, Pete! So chill to watch

[@KMACKTIME]

Maybe a video showing the condition of this lot would be fun

[@Jliving8008]

That was fun to watch. Very interesting methodology to buying on eBay.

[@thechief237]

Keep the great videos coming! I don't get on Twitch much and miss ya here on KZbin.

[@ShizugatakeBE]

Return of the (gaming) King!

[@kodessa]

Hot damn that ending was anxiety inducing

[@DallasinWashington]

Awesome vid Pete always coming up with good ideas

[@RiouInsuiko]

In a lot of ways I think this type of video only works if you end up winning at least one auction (in a video of multiple) otherwise it's ramping anticipation only for you to win nothing in the end. Though you could say it'd be anticlimactic if the format for the series was that you always won everything. I'd say mixing ~5 or so of these clips in one video with you winning some percentage of them would be much more enjoyable.

[@megamob5834]

I’d for sure watch more of these

[@wanderlust_gaming]

I love these kind of videos!

[@LastsailorEgy]

Truly good video, please do a lot of these.

[@GingerGaiden]

Awesome video Pete!

[@YourTourGuideMike]

Can you upload a video unboxing these game as a follow up? Would love to see if it’s complete and in good condition.

[@Retrocade1979]

Very cool concept. Keep them coming.

[@NetConsole]

Congratulations. I could never take personally advantage of these kind of auctions due to my country of residence.

[@American_Nightmare]

Whoa PeteDorr! Back at it again, only to disappear for another 6 months! Here take my like!

[@arshaki6632]

Great to see you back Pete.

[@seekah1]

More like this please, thankyou!

[@pkr7639]

Can someone explain why he only had to pay 157 instead of 185?

[@SharonisCarin321]

Pete can I ask you a question as a collector? Is it ok to use Lysol wipes to clean a case of a PS2 or GameCube game? I wanna be sure using one that is very thin and lightly won't hurt it

[@Kitinporta]

Great find!! Sp good!!!!

[@TheMackamaple]

Love your content!

[@pixxellie]

awesome video, love it! what a legendary snipe.

[@mechaotakugamer]

So I went through price charting on this lot you won and calculated an estimate of value and just assumed that each one is complete just for my sake and I got a total estimated value of 644.22. Now after we take out you investment into that lot and I got an estimated profit value of 486.72. Keep I mind these are just estimates which based off that alone means you basic got this lot for about a fourth of its value. And for that I says kudos. Also I'm surprised to see Xenosaga be worth around 50 dollars if complete

[@DLeif-bk3ye]

always great to see you!

[@admiralarroyo777]

I like to see more videos of this. I miss your content on yt

[@Mjblazer84]

Hey PD, what sniping software do you use?

[@DrSleazoid]

Keep'em coming Pete!

[@chrisbayer7294]

I would love for you to do a video once you recieve this lot and reevaluate the entire lot. I really think this would make for a great video win or loose.

[@haroldnicolas2504]

Part two unboxing?

[@michaelmcguire7526]

Nice work man. Great grab

[@SharonisCarin321]

Pete I got a question for you about eBay. How do you personally prefer your items? Do you only do CIB ? If so what tips do you have to make sure you spend less but get the same quality you expect from like new?

[@Ooqi]

this felt educational

[@ecolodic]

I would do it atleast 5 seconds before the listing ends incase ebay bugs out and doesn't let you submit.

[@LifeOfMasson]

[@matthewdixon3694]

Still waiting for review promised in 2012.

[@Cal63235]

I did the same thing for years. We've probably bided against each other at times ;) Have you noticed that auctions have been better in terms of price for the past year?

[@Shanoa]

Love this!

[@kanggoo57]

thank god there are antisnipes on websites i frequent, this sounds kinda stupid that you can slid in the 5sec mark.

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

If only that was Xenosaga 3 😁

[@51Archives]

i like these vids, i been watching ur vids since i was 12, im almost 24 now

[@bornagaininchrist]

A better place to get games in Mercari you can negotiate prices lower 👍

[@SharonisCarin321]

Wait Pete, don't you already have xenosaga episode 1??

[@eloratings]

Great deal though getting some rare games.

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Tbh, l thought there was not much gold here sir 🤠✌️ PS2 Silent Hill 2 in PAL land here is substantially lower...

[@leroycastro-martinez3804]

Earned a sub

[@thegamingphile]

Somebody post which games came with manuals!!

[@paliga9837]

that was fine.

[@MangoTangoFox]

I have no idea how eBay bidding works... Why exactly did it only take 157 if 185 was the bid?

[@xxxblittsxxx]

His max bid was 185, someone else bid 157 at the end so that what he had to pay.

[@cra1gefc757]

I like this content

[@DJTEKTORO]

Lost kingdoms and all Ys are coming to switch ;)

[@andrewlopez7009]

Why did it go from 185 to 158?

[@FenixPajarito]

Why you ended up paying only $157? 🤔 If your last bid was 180 🤔

[@CuCuz305]

Nice!

[@InputArchive]

I used to watch you on Twitch, but the adverts became intolerable, so the more you post on KZbin the better for me

[@djlancer88]

I got a mint ps2 fat console for 30 bucks a couple years ago

[@kitchycloser]

Why do you add 69 cents to the bid?

[@Nightrider-ck5hx]

Niiiiiice!!

[@OmegaMessi]

YES!

[@joeyasaperson]

I dig this

[@SteveX1991]

Please do more

[@ericmcclenahan3885]

I run this for years but snipe ever got was buy it now 100$ Real Bout American Neo geo and I opened it and it was real

[@Dreamwar19]

Why did you pay less than your bid ?

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Maybe he hit the seller reserve price 🤠

[@draculaman]

The bid he puts is the maximum bid he's willing to go to, so it'll automatically only bid slightly higher than the existing winning bid, rather than just jumping the auction straight to your maximum bid value. So he put 185 but the other person probably only put like 152 or whatever as their maximum, so it just slightly beat that. But if the other person had set a max of 170 or something, Pete would have paid like 175. If the other person had a maximum of 200, Pete would have lost the auction, but the other person would have had to pay like 190

[@Dreamwar19]

@@TheKayliedGamerChannel-KZbin oh that’s cool 😎

[@Dreamwar19]

@@draculaman oh thanks

[@SinfulJon]

He ended up paying less because the last amount showed was what current winning bidder's max amount of money they were willing to pay. So eBay only made Pete pay just enough to beat the current winning bidder's max amount they were willing to pay. However, if another person had put $200 at the same time Pete put in his bid in, and if Pete was the next highest bidder at $185.69, Pete would have lost and that person that bid $200 would have won and only paid $186.69 or so. EDIT: I typed that just as I finished watching the video, so the question has already been answered. :D
