I would like to see this challenge again with more modern games that GameStop has a higher likelihood of taking. I feel like their trade values have gotten better in recent years (for the games they actually take) so it would be cool to see a rematch with more modern games (like Xbox 360 & newer)

[@Lazerz330]

try diff stores as well or like have a team battle you guys vs diff gourp but chaze is a judge

[@jessewarren9177]

Figured it was going to go that way with GameStop. However, GameStop does pay a lot for certain games. I have done the math and they pay more than after eBay fees and shipping for some games. I save those for when they bump the values up 50% or more and that's how I get my games for the year for free.

[@megamob5834]

The GameStop outcome went as predicted lol first store I thought was a little low considering you had some pretty decent genesis stuff in there, but their prices for buying at least seemed fair (I mean $8 for Pokémon gold is a bit beyond fair… 😂). But the pawn shop was where it’s at. They were awesome. Building a relationship with my local pawn shop has been *invaluable* to me growing my collection,. I recommend any collectors or resellers do the same, as displayed here. They don’t always offer the best cash value at mine, but they always work with me on prices when I buy and trades are always fair as can be. Love me a good pawn shop man lol this was a great video boys 😉

[@Toonie]

That Pawn shop was a score!

[@Civanical]

I've always enjoyed going in to that pawn shop. Found some good deals on games and guitars in the past. Awesome group of people!

[@RC.3RD864]

It means a lot when you have a business that understands that you're trying to run a business to so if they leave a little meat on the bone. for you to get a little bit of profit off of it. I think is a business that I would return to.

[@wolf870626]

I would not exactly call Disc Replay a "local Mom & Pop" it's in 6 states with Disc Replay, Disc Traders and Mega Replay stores all being part of it and around 50 stores in total.

[@danh2134]

I wonder who pays more between half price books or disc replay?

[@nicholasbraun6297]

You must be in Livonia MI. I am in South Bend Indiana and there is a disc replay.

[@TheLBNC]

My local store literally takes every game which is awesome cause I took in 3 boxes worth of bulk stuff, broken systems, manuals, etc. Got over $700 in credit.

[@Frosty2014]

Awesome video guys!! God bless all involved and those working!!!

[@jc2marquette14]

We have a disc replay in Rockford IL! Had no idea they had stores out in Michigan too that's cool. They're the best used video game store that I've ever been to in Rockford and the only ones who have stayed in business for years and years

you guys are hitting up my local Disc Replay and Gamestop LOL

[@skitskat12]

you could technically do this with just one stack telling the first place you dont want to sell them to test the 2nd placew with same games. Heres the secret: When selling a stack of media you always ask for indivigual prices. These places give you a bundle price when some items are only 20 cents or so.

[@morecowbell235]

I went to 10-11 pawn shops in a span of a week (years ago) to see what prices were for Flat screen TVs. All of them were asking near 70% of full blown retail.

Hey man, I'd watch whatever you put out if you started making vids again. You will always be a legend and someone that I am forever grateful to for helping my channel get off the ground. Reselling has always been first priority for me, so hiring help to take over the youtube edits and everything with it has been the only way it could survive and thrive for me.

[@Sportycoolja]

Alot of gamestops wont even take the old stuff even though techically they do take it because its extra work for them to ship it to their warehouse.

[@jessemcilvenna2980]

The Disc Replay in Livonia is OK... I prefer the ones in Taylor and Roseville (the one in Troy is lackluster). And the Mega Replay way down in Lima Ohio is fairly solid. Great video as always!

Been to that Pawnshop, his Dad is awesome too! They are always eager to make a deal!

I came across your video and just realize I recognize the pawn shop owner. He attends a card show that I go to in Fort Wayne. Where are you located I have a lot of my video old systems and games I might be looking to sale. I very interested in Pokémon so need extra cash for that. I think you will be very impressed with my video game collection.

GameStop gives you 25$ for Wii Fit U lol there are hundreds of games they overpay for especially with their 50% extra trade in bonus deals I’ll trade in left for dead 2 for $15 etc tons of titles they pay up for get a pro membership and go during 50% bonus trade week

[@Moparking117]

I like game exchange in Texas where I live they have a big selection but they don’t pay even 30% for high end GameCube games I took a very valuable GameCube collection all mint condition. A indigo purple system with 2 matching Nintendo brand controllers also indigo. A wave bird platinum controller with receiver and 20 games and most of them on eBay sell for over $60 the best game I had was fire emblem path of radiance complete, 3 Mario party’s, Zelda master collection, a Canadian variant of Mario sunshine, double dash and smash bros and they offered me $88 cash and $104 store credit needless to say I didn’t take it. I’ll just keep it I though they would offer at least $200 but I was so wrong.

Bruh I need some PS2 games in the buy it now. I am so close to finishing my set. Anyways awesome video. Stay blessed ya'll.

[@bobloblaw8622]

Next time, try DKoldies

[@projectauto7560]

They don’t pay much for things that aren’t on their list in my experience. I’ve done very well selling consoles to them when they’re paying top dollar for them though. Often times they pay nearly what I’d get on eBay for them.

[@MrGnomerdoom]

Great video, would have guessed pawn shop would be last lol... but no. You got some great graded card there Chase xD

[@MitchellPSmith-hl9fu]

It feels kinda odd when you pick up Pokémon stuff without mentioning the Pokémon pursuit. You haven’t really made it clear if these pick ups are part of the pursuit or not. It feels weird that you don’t mention it. (Also it would have been a great opportunity to promote the series)

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

It's on pause, and since that item isn't specifically something being targeted it wasn't mentioned. Pokemon Pursuit will be back soon

[@ASAKASAKASAK1]

Only got 100$ because of your connection at the pawn. Most pawn shops give 20c a pop for videogames.

[@chadnoneo9769]

Not really that, it's more because it's a specialized pawn shop who understands what the value of all these types of items are worth. You walk into your standard pawnshop and ya, you might get couple bucks at most if you are lucky per game, if they are not old. Like what pawn shop would just randomly have a vintage empty booster box?

[@projectauto7560]

The store has to make money too so if they’re worth 200-250 that’s actually not bad. That’s around what I’d pay for something worth that amount that I’m planning to sell.

[@jnothingbutthebest8228]

@projectauto7560 would you let go of 250 worth of games for 60 bucks that's unlikely and u say yes your just lying to yourself we are not the reason stores need to make money it's in the repeat customers low prices and good relationships that keep business open not low balling and coming up that what's wrong with shit like this greed over everything THATS WRONG if a restraunt offers free soda with burger purchase they gain million more in repeat customers than charging whatever and hoping for the return 💯

[@projectauto7560]

@@jnothingbutthebest8228 I buy to resell on eBay for a living. $250 for 50 games is only valuing these games at $5 a game so they’re mostly low dollar games. Low dollar games can be really hard to sell online. I currently have 200-300 low dollar games I need to get rid of that I got in larger lots with game systems so I have practically $0 into them. I primarily sell on eBay so it’s not worth it to sell a $5 game. By the time I pay $3.50-$4 on shipping for each game plus my fees and shipping materials I’m making less than 50 cents a game so in that case I’d gladly get rid of 50 of them for $65. A business can only make money if they make considerably more than what they pay for inventory. A retail store has more overhead than I have. They have to pay employees, ridiculous building rent, utilities, etc. If a retail store pays what an item is worth how are they supposed to make money? Let’s be realistic, most customers are not going to pay considerably more money than an item is worth just to buy it at a particular store they like. Especially in todays economy. For most customers it’s all about getting the best deal. As a business you can’t offer great deals unless you get inventory cheap. If you pay what an item is worth and give a great deal on it then you’ll be out of business in a month. I’m curious how you would run a profitable business. If you were a business what would you pay for $250 worth in games?
