My local game store has been having problems with selling repros/fakes and "being unaware of it."

Aliexpress really opened up the floodgates to shady game store owners and sellers.

I didn't realized that Ducktales 2 is worth so much money after this podcast and I have this game including the booklet. It was one of my favourite games.

[@markpalmercomedy]

He knew you would be busy and rushed on sale day so he was thinking it would be the best time to con you.

[@skabcat242]

"He man, get the fuck out of here!" Ian is savage.

[@LeeBondo]

A guy did this to me. Recently, I sold about 100+ Wrestling figures on Shpock, some rare, some old, some not so good. I just sold them for like £70 and this guy really convinced me he collected them and shit then as soon as he got them he just relisted them on separate listings at reseller prices! Really pissed me off!

[@LeeBondo]

Marc Carran no, it wasn’t the fact that he resold them so much as I was also selling separately an large talking ultimate warrior figure and another which I can’t remember. He begged me to get include these in the sale “ for his collection !” Then he listed them for sale as soon as he got them for about £50 when I’d thrown them in for nothing. wed agreed on £70 it then it cost me £20 to post due to weight. Finally these were my 11 year old twin sons that they had asked me to sell for them.

[@gamerguy425]

I still remember this story from when he told it like two years ago and I still EAGERLY awaited this retelling, lol

[@mistaecco]

Only read the title and I'm already absurdly excited Edit: Heard the original version several times but still absolute gold

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Pat butthurt because the guy got over on him making money he couldn't. If you can't handle a guy making money on what he buys from you, don't sell to him.

I'd love a Super Show (special CUPodcast) where Ian just blasts every single customer that pissed him off at Luna's :p

[@nintendont2803]

Ian give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people just dont have the time to authenticate the stuff that they steal.

[@Maniac536]

There once was a guy named gord who told of what he did to people who tried to resell him obv fakes. He would grab a disc and pretend he was inspecting the merch and just start carelessly snapping them in two until the guy got the hint

Little Sampson is the root of all evil.

[@ryanm4281]

Ian was much more calm talking about the Taito counterfeit games this time.

[@JezzmanGAMES]

"Don't act like you've fucking put my kids through college." Such a good line. XD

[@Swoll826]

This opens up a few new questions: what is the most credit Ian issued in a single trade in? What is the largest store credit balance Ian has seen a customer hold?

[@pxlsicle]

That's a good question. Largest ticket I've written out was about 1,100-1,200. Low thousands. Had a customer who built up around 2k in credit and then slowly spent it over a year or so.

[@xyz-ns7ym]

That intro lmao so over the top. Great 👌

[@jaywunder13242]

I think that happens 90 percent of the time with people who bitch about "greedy sellers" asking the going rate for a game or other item. When it comes time to sell their shit, they don't offer anyone a discount.

[@golden_eldorado]

09:08 Game collector? Maybe you meant "game collectionist"

[@Biscuit-Triscuit]

The best thing was the first time they told this story and if I remember correctly Pat or Ian said that the labels looked like they were printed on a Fischer Price My First Printer

Tales from Suncoast sequel series

[@nensondubois]

I trade in a lot of rare stuff at the game store I frequent and I never bring counterfeit items, even though the owner doesn't know half of the items I've bought in.

[@from1100]

Most of video game hunting channels on KZbin claim to be collectors but most of the stuff they buy they resell it for retail price.

[@ajtstvandmusicarchivechann1585]

I was at the flea market once and I saw a reseller who had nes games. He had a blue megsmsn tepro that had all the nes games on one cart. He wanted $60 and claimed it was a European copy.

[@FrankReynolds182]

I LOVE that Aggretsuko shirt.

[@codeywings10]

Opinions on game stores selling repros? What about Homebrew carts and fan translations?

[@CrimsonFlame567]

homebrew carts should be fine if it's not just a flash cart but actually produced by the developer imo

[@Clay3613]

As long as they mark it as such and the price is reasonable. My LGS has two or three repros which are marked. They also have a real Little Samson and Dinosaur Peak though, so it's legit.

"Shaggy bastard"

[@BlackWolfessUSCM]

I have a very pricey suikoden II non greatest hits game. I accidently bundled it with some old ps1 games i went to trade in at my local independant gameshop. Guy goes through it and holds up Suikoden II and says "Dude you don't want to get rid of this" and i"m like oh crap. Taught me to pay more attention to what i'm doing.

[@spoonhanz]

Should've played along give him a low ball price then jump on him when he points out the "rare" games

[@DebitAdams]

Awesome opening

[@dustanglx50]

OK, I bought a sealed game, the seller gave me a great deal, but, I want to play it, and it would be a crime to open it, I want to sell it, but it would be a dick move to sell it. Any advice? (Folklore PS3 Promo copy [hole punch in upc])

[@BRBMrSoul]

You own it. Your property Do with it as please Unless like did what dude did to Pat and talked someone down on price cos was “for your collection” haha like if just gave you a good deal right, it’s yours now lol Unless seller had some specified rules or conditions that you signed and are legally binding, either leave it and roll on it as investment or have some fun and accept if it does hold value, it not being SEALED won’t entirely kill that value as do have box. Oh unless can find like another copy super cheap right, line of the game not another copy of what you have in promo version. My take at least :)

[@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810]

When I use to do trade ins I would want to know what I’m getting for each game, but the most I would have is 10 games.

[@animeida]

It was for his money collection.

[@mkultrax5]

Is this the guy that called back later in the day and asked if you sell repro labels?

[@Jonqen]

It must be

[@altoidyoda]

I'm amazed Pat knew "Put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon." Where the heck did you learn that song? I thought I was the only one.

[@placeholdername3206]

Are Little Samson carts really that rare? I used to have that game as a kid. Mind you i'm in Europe so the game might be less rare over here.

[@Jonqen]

Its really rare

[@jarvindriftwood]

Little Samson from Europe is more common. Basically the SNES was out in the US in 1991 and the SNES didn't come out in Europe until well into 1992. So a handful of games from 1992 and onward had more copies released in Europe than North America. (There's a common belief too that Europeans were more frugal with stuff like gaming and kept one system longer.) Also I'm not sure about Little Samson specifically but a few of those games that are rare in North America and more common in Europe are specifically more common in Scandinavia for whatever reason.

[@randygelion]

Reproduction is a fancy word for fake. Can't put that on an eBay listing.

[@skins4thewin]

I dunno if I agree with that. What if it's just a customer who didn't know much about games and just found the stuf in a storage locker or something? Is it still their burden to know what's a repro and what isn't? Why don't you just tell them that it's a repro and give them the games back and not give them anything for them vs getting all pissy about it?

[@skins4thewin]

Now to the guys credit, don't you have a system in place where it prints out a receipt with the list of games he traded in and how much store credit each one is worth? I mean how else can you keep a record of the business you're doing? So why not have a setup where you can print this receipt out for him and let him look it over before the trade-in is finalized? I've seen game stores have a system like that in place so why not at your store? Would make things a whole lot easier I reckon. Otherwise I can't see how a trade in system like this could be fair without having an itemized list of what a person is trading in. I know for sure that if I'm trading in games, I'd want to make sure I'm getting somewhat fair value for them and am not just going to trust a register worker to just count them up in his or her head.
