The Reality of Selling HUGE Video Game Collections

[@dandehaan]

My son turns 8 in December and has asked that his party be CATRP themed. You guys are officially cool.🎉

[@DArchAngel28]

I agree with the disc resurfacer. The auto smart is just so much better than the rest. Totally worth the money.

[@yenterpriseonebay]

I do enjoy these videos of how the business is progressing as opposed to unboxing collections. Looks like you are busy.

[@ElijahRetro1982]

Another super cool video in the books, way to go CATRP Crew 👍🏽😎👍🏽🕹️🎮

[@Vigaman]

This is Uy, thank you so much for showing off my collection and for buying it! Hope to deal with you again.😊

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

Why did you sale your collection for 40%?

[@Vigaman]

@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012It’s not quite 40%, higher than that but I was happy for the amount I was offered for my collection (which is only a small fraction, I got more I might sell including more rare games) plus I am a fan of the channel and what these guys do. So it was worth it to me.

[@Vigaman]

@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012it’s not quite 40%, higher than that but I was happy for the amount I was offered for my collection, which is only a small fraction, I still got more including rare CIB GBA games that I might sell, the CIB Boktai 2 you saw here was a sneak peak. Plus I am a fan of these guys and what they do. So it was worth it to me.

[@Vigaman]

It’s actually not 40%, I got close to 60% but regardless it’s only a small part of my collection, I got more rare games that I can sell. Plus I am a fan of what these guys do, so it was worth it regardless.

@@Vigaman you still got ripped off it’s kinda sad

[@damienhawthorne8864]

I picked up a VMI3500 for $150 on offerup. It's an older model, but no real supplies needed. It's been awesome.

[@sirisaacsmith9513]

Can you do a video on how you find collections? The active outbound side of generating leads and the passive lead gen side?

[@nickpapagiorgio2253]

I went from a JFJ (trash machine in my opinion) to a Eco Pro 2 and finally to a Autosmart. Ive been helping people out resurfacing their discs for $1.50 per disc

[@nickpapagiorgio2253]

@orgoremedia it bricks alot of discs. It's super messy and just doesn't do a hood overall job. I'd honestly save up and get an eco pro 2

[@bramcc]

How do you advertise your service? I have an Elm machine but am still a small operation. I'm reluctant to offer resurfacing as a service on marketplace or something like that. I feel like it kinda gives me a secret advantage in a way. At least in my area (rural).

[@ayeelmao8108]

Iv been binge watching all your videos!

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

You must be bored or have a lot of time on your hands.

[@ayeelmao8108]

@@LeadMe2TheBliss you sound ignorant, I work full time I enjoy watching them after work.

[@Better_Than_CeX]

shout out to Al Pal for emailing me back today 😁👍🏻 looking forward to finding some of them titles and shipping them across the pond!

[@realwildgoods]

Regarding soundproofing the disc cleaners, have you considered just moving them outside into the shed?

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Keep geeking out. Stay safe.

[@Thectpicker]

hey, I am the one who offers the cleaning service to discord members. $2 per disc. I use the same machine as you guys the eco master!

[@MrBooyahmofo]

So i had the eco pro 2 and just got a venmill 2.0 hybrid. Both are in the same price range. the Venmill is wayyyyyy better. Highly recommend it.

[@paulwignell9733]

Jeez you need to expand the barn, I see a games shop in your future... you could sell all that miscellaneous stuff in there and the lower priced games... you would clean up guys

[@johncarls1]

Really been enjoying for some time. I am a collector and have a small ebay store. I am intrigued by the lots you were discussing at the end. Where do you sell those? Whatnot or should I subscribe to the discord? Thanks and keep up the awesome work! Seeing some of these collections has been really really cool!

[@JohnSmith-yr8sd]

Where do I go to see what you’re selling?

[@prettysweet5033]

Alpal looks like he ate one of my brownies 😂

[@emilykoi3111]

I'm hoping to find Avatar the Last Airbender Gameboy CIB. Maybe someday you'll get that in 😊

[@rydamusprime]

Need to seel it all off do you can move those shelves and free up the epic CATRP wall

[@MrBadavidson9]

It’s the Eminem jay z dj hero so that’s the most valuable one I think, easiest sell

[@ZEROCOOLLTV]

As I am watching this, I am in a CA heatwave, its currently 101 at 5p, in other words, no sympathy.

[@akahee22]

Definitely working up towards and elm but if you have a nice method a jfj isn't bad but yes time consuming

[@Britt_Brott]

Would you guys ever think about selling on your own web site? Seems like you are at a point viewer wise where you could sustain your own site. I would love to buy some games from you guys directly but don’t want to get addicted to what not lol. I am a software engineer so I am always pushing for owning your own platform but would love to know your guys thought on this in general from a business owners perspective.

[@catrpcrew]

We aren't opposed, but at this time we don't think it would produce the best results compared to what we are currently doing.

[@AndrewBoersma]

The platforms they currently have/use are very high end top dollar amounts compared to eBay. If they had their own site, it wouldn't create the urgency/fomo etc

Sega GT / JSRF combo for OG Xbox

[@BearsBack2Back]

How do i send something in from the buy list?

[@Matt.P.]

Funniest ending I ever saw!

[@DarkPlatin]

What happened to the guy you postponed his question in a recent video? Who ever that guy is and whereever he is, I am sure he is doing great, maybe just a bit sad it never got answered ;)

[@BroerenGames]

Too bad you all dont have a seperate small space for the disc cleaning machine, I doubt making some kind of soundproof wall that you can just put over it is very effecient..

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Hi!!

[@MrJohnSmalley]

Was that a joke about you passing out during the Sega whatnot show and selling the Super Smash Bros for the Gamecube? If you are serious and this is a frequent issue, I would recommend seeing if you have Sleep Apnea. It can be a serious medical condition if left untreated.

You may be able to sell all the NES Foam to XYAB. Or work a credit deal with them.
