[@kimmartis317]

Nice pickups. Especially Sabrina.

[@JRPGLife]

Thank you!

[@tennisace06]

I absolutely love yalls channel! I've been a long fan of flippers and retro game collecting channels and I've always wanted to see one that favors JRPGs and I cannot get enough of your channel. Thanks for the JRPG love ❤️

[@JRPGLife]

Thank you so much for saying so!

[@normannagel6948]

Epic finds great trade for a very expensive vita game love the vita everything vita is super expensive nice trade up!!!

[@RunWithCurt]

I just love learning about these different games I have never heard of! Good shit guys

[@jamowallace]

Some awesome pick ups there!

[@richardfosterII7575]

Thanks for making this video. I have never been to an expo before but am kind of afraid bc think I would go nuts. Great video

[@billybeers7806]

The mini panther at the end Made this vid. Awesome!😎👍

Amazing games

[@chubz_be_gaming]

Thank you for the support 🙏 ❤️ , keep up the great videos !!!!!

[@solidsnake9933]

I always look forward to your guys videos, your awesome 👏🏻

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for saying so!

[@ravenwolf3039]

I can't believe you got the time stalkers because I just picked one of those up too! Also I will pick up those two wireless controllers too from retro bit . Wow that psvita game was one I'm not aware of but the price was $$$ good thing you had that pop trade in that was an awesome swap kudo's.

[@JRPGLife]

What a coincidence on Timestalkers!

[@Chronis67]

Dokapon is great. You guys will have a ton of fun with it. Though if you add CPU characters, they are really cheap. And yeah, Retrobit always prices really low in person. I remember buying SNES controllers from them for $5 a few years back.

[@christinestachurski9435]

Argh!! So bummed we missed this and it's in our own backyard 😢 I'm following it now on Facebook so we don't miss it again. Our whole family loves retro games

[@JRPGLife]

Good thing they keep doing them pretty frequently!

[@christinestachurski9435]

@@JRPGLife yup! Perhaps we'll see you at the next one. Next time you are out this way for one of the cons, go check out Lost Levels in Claremont. They are a buy/sell/trade store..about one of the few out here worth checking out. Claremont is about 10 min West of Ontario where you were staying.

[@tamarakuh9705]

Me and my husband love to watch your videos together. We are also a couple collecting together, we started collecting pokemon together and even started collecting games and consoles a few months ago. Sadly we are low budget collectors so we would never have expensive games but we are still having fun with it. Love the content you guys make, keep up the good work

[@JRPGLife]

That's fantastic! Thanks for watching 😀

[@neilarnold5506]

I always knew that some Funkos had value, but that is insane. I think I said it in a previous video, but congrats on that find. I also don't see Vita stuff too often (or really at all to be honest) in my area, so I had never even heard of that game before. But now I would like it - although I may never find it lol. Great to see you guys trading and making it easier on the wallet in the long haul. I think the power of trading as well as the power of the ask is HIGHLY overlooked. Very nice prize there from Retro Rick, dude is such a great channel and person in his own right. I think the Sabrina should be a choice (if possible) for the next livestream. Feel like it would be an interesting and fun stream. Asura's Wrath is one I too have missed out on Dan, hope to find it one day for a deal. Arc the Lad is a series I have no experience with but working out a trade with a friend for either one or both of the PS2 ones. Another great video as always guys, super cool pick ups, some insane collection additions for sure. Keep up all the amazing work, and have a fantastic day. #Roadto3k

[@skaterdude_9162]

I have 5 of those aw

[@Retromicky82]

Fantastic pickups guys you did well on the pop trade . Tyrants is known has mega lo mania over here and started on amiga .

[@JRPGLife]

Very interesting!

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

Amazing finds indeed! Glad to see you were able to make the trade for the pop figure. That's a crazy find. I don't know much about the vita but it's good to see a grail being found by someone who will really enjoy it. I see you ran into John Riggs and retro Rick. Awesome job with the vid! 🤟🔥

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks man!

[@robertturner6849]

What do you guys use on the phone app for your library games ?

[@JRPGLife]

CLZ 🙂

[@Mikedadof2]

You couple are so cute. Scott shepherd look out for him he is in Florida

[@JRPGLife]

Who's Scott Shepherd? We rarely go that far east, but maybe someday we will take a trip to Florida

[@jcchaconjr]

Holy cow! Einhander was selling for $200? I swear I picked that up for $60 back around 2017? And it was actually "free" considering I had some trade-ins the day I picked it up, along with a minty looking PlayStation PSOne LCD that the store I frequented happened to have that day. One of my best deals, IMHO, because that copy of Einhander is also mint.

[@JRPGLife]

Such a great game!

[@mechaotakugamer]

I didnt even know Asterisk war had a video game let alone a psvita rpg. Congrats on the massive score from SoCal

[@mechaotakugamer]

Watching this again in 2024 and dang I'm I'm in shock all over again

[@hoseb007]

Can you do a video explaining the apps? You use to price all of your games and the app you use for the list that you have and the ones you need.

[@JRPGLife]

We use CLZ for both, but we don't really make instructional youtube videos. There are plenty of other channels out there that have already done it better 🙂

[@swsgaming4878]

I plan on going to the socal expo this year to sell my games (a lot of JRPGS). I don't have much but is it relatively safe to just leave stuff out for people to pick up and look up?

[@JRPGLife]

Hmm I am unsure since we never personally sold anything at an expo, but I would like to think it is 🤔

[@swsgaming4878]

@@JRPGLife I have been watching some videos and it seems like it is pretty safe. I was just debating if I need glass cases lol. Thanks for the reply.

[@JRPGLife]

We do usually see vendors save their very pricey stuff for glass cases, so that seems to be a solid idea 🙂

[@trevor245]

In the context of going from 4 usd to like 700 that's great but considering that you could probably sell that funko on ebay for atleast 1000 I feel like that's a pretty bad trade.

[@JRPGLife]

We are honestly pretty happy with it. The danger of selling something so expensive on eBay is pretty intimidating to us, to be honest. Plus, after ebay fees and taxes we would have already been left with just about enough money to buy the game, so it all balanced out 😀

[@shakkedgolan7954]

Phoenix resale just uploaded a video on he's second channel, he bought at least two phoenix festa on vita and he didnt even talked about its price

[@JRPGLife]

I'm pretty sure we paid less for ours than he did lol

[@stressfreepaperchase3215]

@@JRPGLife i think most people pay less than him.

[@JRPGLife]

He's a super nice guy, much respect

[@thisshouldbeentertaining3386]

$1500? That guy was overvaluing phoenix festa. That game even new typically is a $800-$1000 game. And right now there's a new sealed copy on Ebay for $940 buy it now.

[@JRPGLife]

He admitted he had it priced high, which is fine. We were super happy with picking it up for $4 equivalent either way

[@fink32]

Do you also have an Asian English physical copy of MLB the show 15? That’s a heavy hitter these days.

[@JRPGLife]

Yep, we have the NTSC version sealed, which is a download code box 😀

[@fink32]

@@JRPGLife ah you may need the Asian physical release like the a.w phoenix festa physical you bought in this episode it was only released in Asia (English box and game) and has the game on a cartridge and not just a DLC code. It ain’t cheap though lol.

[@JRPGLife]

We only went for the complete US retail set for Vita. We're not interested in collecting all 1200 + all-region releases 🙂 We picked up AW Phoenix Festa because we wanted to play it
