Key note about funkos is most buyers want the box to be mint. If the box is damaged it isn't worth much. That funko you got is worth about 2 to 6 bucks
@psm661816 күн бұрын
The problem with the used board games though is when they are taped up with packing tape. If it's something that is collectible like TMNT, it's gonna be hard to get that tape off without messing up the box art, which then drastically reduces the price you can sell it for.
@hawkmankt15 күн бұрын
Yeah, I don't disagree. Try a heat gun or blow dryer on low back and forth towards the tape for a bit. It's easier to peel then. Some just won't come off though.

I’m a Pokemon collector, keep that box sealed if the money is your main focus. It has a couple Fusion Strike boosters in it, that set has been going up recently and will continue to rise. If you want to have some fun though, open up the box and see if you can get some good pulls.

Most store don't leave the cords or remotes taped to the units because people steal them. This is something I learned not to do early when I started reselling items. I put tags on them stating the cords & remotes are at the checkout counter. All of my gaming consoles get locked up in showcases so they don't get stolen. Those wireless Guitar Hero guitars are missing the dongles so they are useless without them. I've starting picking up items you show in your videos and I've had a lot of luck with somethings selling the same day or within days of me listing them. Thanks for sharing all of your finds and info with us all.

Enjoy the vids. Got a question. How do you safely remove the packing tape they close the game boxes with?
@jeremybennett798715 күн бұрын
I resell a lot of used board games. I have found the best way to safely remove the tape is with a blow dryer and a little patience. When you peel up the tape, make sure to keep the grip on the tape very close to where it's lifting up. The further your hand gets away from the box it tends to start tearing the paper. I also will work on both sides of the box and slowly make my way to the middle.

With the Pokemon cards, I suggest looking up what cards you can get within the packs and then open those packs to see if you get any hits. Pokemon cards that are V's, V max, secret rare, rainbow rare etc. Can sell for a good amount of cash and depending on total you can probably beat that 35 bucks give or take. If not wanting to go through a hit or miss situation then just give it to someone you know that likes Pokemon cards I'm sure they will get a kick out of it.

Dude it's even more annoying than I said in the video. It was cracked all the way across so I dropped it off to get replaced. I picked up the car when they were done and while driving home it started raining. I turned on my windshield wipers and they fell apart and ripped off the weather seal attached to the windshield. I brought it to my local subaru dealer to see what was up, and they said whoever replaced my windshield, set the wiper blades way too low and they fell apart. I called Safelite and made an appointment to have them replace my wipers and reset them to the correct distance, and they did. But I had to pay for the blades. After picking it up a second time, about 10 mins into my drive back home, a pebble popped up on the highway and chipped my new windshield. I have to make another appointment....... it's annoying to say the least lol
