I have an awesome collection of vintage games that I started collecting from the mid 90s to the early 2000s. About 500 games in total . I have to say that these resellers will never get their grubby hands on my stuff. I'd rather throw it in the trash then let them make a penny on my stuff . They have ruined the hobby and the only purpose they serve is to act like vampires and ruin it for every actual gamer

I buy collections, but what i don't do is lowball the shit out of people like Phoenix resale and Collector's Luck. I offer 60-65% of pricecharting value which is a very fair offer. I have to buy collections to get the games I want as any decent deals are scooped up right away. In my area everyone is a video game reseller.

There’s hardly any money to be made buying at 60-65%. After fees and shipping, that’s like 50% return on investment, which isn’t great if you’re dealing with several items (ie hundreds). Plus, buying at these prices doesn’t allow for a little wiggle room for errors in inventory (ie seller has non working games sold as working).

I dislike this reselling. This sort of feel like a Rockefeller treatment with flipping the games we had so much nostalgia for. As a video game collector, I been collecting for over 8 years, but this is the worst I ever seen this video game selling industry. Should had known since 2020 with the ps5 situation it will go down from there. Not only, emulation becoming more popular it is still illegal but people like these make everything. HORRIBLE! I won't be spending $100 or so for some game that was retro. Especially that chi-bi Robo game, you must be out of your mind if I spend $300 for it. The way how some resellers acted were disgusting. Some are pushing away the people (Collectors/Enjoyers) from getting a good deal of just having fun but no. It's a whole monopoly with the products. Crazy thing is some of these games aren't even limited. Yeah, the factories aren't making them, but SOME POKEMON GAMES SHOULDNT BE OVER $400 OR SO. It is gotten to the point where new games are becoming $70 while the retro stuff is ridiculously high.

I actually bought a lot of ps1 games for 40 euros a couple of months ago. Most were copies bootlegs but 7 of em were originals one of em was an original copy of Resident Evil Directors Cut and i bought the lot with that game as it is worth that much on its own let alone the other 6 games original in the lot too and the bootlegs. A few of the bootlegs had disk rot and told her i wont keep em and the seller was worried cause now she thought i would reduce the price and i told her dont worry i will still buy the same lot at the same price cause, the games that are still there are plenty and it was already a major fair deal and i wont push my luck. As a collector it is great to buy things below market value that is true but if i find something among a pile that are worth more i wont try to reduce the price further or use an excuse that these are bad, my fortune is already great and i will not spit at it with pettiness. Its really RARE to find good deals on ps1 games anymore (Especially where i live) But it is always great to find a lucky find on occasion.

Another issue with emulation is choice fatigue. Or if you get stuck on a certain level, there’s a good chance on emulation that you just give up and go on to the next game. But when you own a psychical copy, you’re more inclined to give it all of your efforts because you spent money on it. At least that’s how it is for me.

For sure, the value of a piece doesn't make a collection significant to a person unless it means a lot to them.

I can give this guy the credit for cleaning the surface of these things at least. I don't know if he went through, did a tear down, and really cleaned anything the way it should be before he screws someone on eBay over with a premium price. Also, I think I saw that there are people working on the problem of DK64 and the expansion pak "requirement" with the intent to possibly patch the games ROM even so it doesn't even need it. It's not as popular as Mario64 because it's collectible setup is tedious say the least so I haven't seen too much about the effort. With an everdrive, or the ability to flash a new ROM to a stock cart, fixing these old games could make the need for expensive RDRAM(they don't manufacture that anymore and it's proprietary which is reason for the expense) addons a thing of the past. I would love nothing more than to see these resellers numbers sink on that particular piece of "useless" tech on eBay. For Dk64 it allegedly just makes a crash happen less infrequently to make the game playable for longer.(IDK everything about it really, but I do hope those who do fix it for the sake of people who want to play the game on original hardware and not pay an extra 70USD or whatever)

@@EightyDD This same argument and points come up in my comment section all of the time so I’m not surprised you feel that way. I give my responses in my videos but I’ll go ahead and respond now to save you some time. It’s not necessarily the person they’re buying from that they’re ripping off. In the video I suggested earlier that reseller definitely rips those people off. But usually it’s the EBay market/buyers they’re ripping off. There’s a reseller every square inch of America now so the real collector’s, meaning people buying games to play and enjoy can’t find games for cheap and are strong handed into buying on EBay. That’s one example. Now another is “market value” market value is subjective because one could argue that the price these resellers find at yard sales is the actual market value and resellers have inflated the price because of this. Now from a moral standpoint, I could say that no one buying something for $1 should turn around and sell it for $200. I mean, why not sell it for $100 and help the entire gaming community as a whole? Because a sale like that would affect Pricechartinng and EBay and over time help bring the cost down. But nope, that won’t happen because of greed. And that’s why game collecting and hunting is dead for collectors. Unless they’re rich.

It's important to remember there are two sides to the equation. The resellers who lists their games as "overpriced," and the buyer willing to pay that price. If the games were overpriced, then why did they sell? New listings pop up on eBay all the time for acceptable prices. It takes a little bit of focus and determination and you, too, can buy desirable Nintendo games for very reasonable prices. Ultimately I don't really feel like it's fair to call these folks all kinds of names and paint them like the scum of the earth, pretending like they've somehow committed some grave sin. they're trying to get by just like everyone else. At the end of the day, this dude is making a few hundred bucks (after fees/shipping). That's really not that much. It's barely rent. Clearly reselling is working or they wouldn't be doing it. Buyers are lining up. There are way bigger issues in the world than focusing on video game resellers. idk
@steviefreakinc Жыл бұрын
It’s just for entertainment purposes bro. You’re right, there are definitely worse issues in the world. But even the reseller in the video says prices on games are going up. That’s because of people like him buying all of the good deals and charging those prices online. The games wouldn’t be so expensive if they weren’t out there like vultures taking all of the deals. Clearly the games aren’t really expensive, otherwise he’d have no business. It’s a false price hike that real gamers have to pay because of reseller culture.

Flipping something on occasion is totally fine. Because that means I found a good deal. But the problem that I have with it, is these dudes are doing this as a full time job. So they're not finding one good deal and being happy with it. They're scavenging all resources to take as many deals as they can to make a living. Which practically eliminates any positive enjoyment for anyone else that lives in their area to game hunt for collecting.

They will sit on a shelf and collect dust, because news flash, shelves collect dust!! Instead of giving them to someone who WANTS them that will PLAY them...i have a small collection, every game in my little collection i play or i will play. Ive been really into the ps3 lately, and if i see a game i want to play and its a game i dont see much or its in fresh condition, ill pick it up. And after i beat it, I usually sell or trade them for another game i want. The whole "flex video" thing is so true. I've had people tell me "oh you're just jealous and you don't make videos so you cant say anything"... I DON'T need to make videos. I dont need to flex and boast. Ill text my best buddy if i get a good deal but i dont have time to make videos even if i wanted to. I hate giving channels like his views, but they are so funny to watch.

You're telling me if you found Earthbound out in the wild for cheap that you'd tell them what it's worth before buying it? Come on, that's BS. Not to mention this guy is a collector unlike some other KZbinrs, so he'll do what we all do if we're game hunting. Buy a lot and keep what you want, sell off the rest. I don't get the hate.

One off or occasional sales aren’t a big deal. It’s these full time resellers abusing the market that’s the issue. Then they go on KZbin and promote the behavior to a huge audience. Then you end up with the way it is now.

@@steviefreakinc I usually find all kinds of items to flip to buy my video games , I believe that’s the best way to do it to not hurt your work income . Some thrift stores do research and some don’t . It takes time to go to one and research items and even then that item might not sell . But yeah what I do agree with you that what that first guy did is scummy and buy a whole lot like that to resell . But I also think it’s important as a collector that If you want stuff , that you show up on time , early as possible to find the good deals .

@@steviefreakinc Funny thing is if there werent resellers games would cost alot more as there wouldnt be alot of them in the wild therefore their supply will be low causing their prices to be high. The more people you have selling one game the cheaper it would be as people would be undercutting each other to try and sell their item. So really you should want more resellers so prices go down.

@@SomePersonStories Dont hate the player, hate the game buddy. The market makes the price due to the supply & demand, when you have a high demand & a low supply prices will get high especially with rare games that have a limited quantity. You will see this with all sort of items, toys, vehicles, cutlery, clothes, online game items & so on. Tell me, do you really expect something like a very rare vintage gucci shirt from the 40s thats no longer made would be $5-$10? Of course not, thats silly thinking if you expect everything to be cheap because you want it too, you're collecting desirable vintage items that are no longer made so its not going to be cheap lmao if you dont have alot of money or want to spend alot dont collect & then complain about a rare item being expensive especially when you can just emulate anyway if you really want to play it

If you check out some of his older videos from 4 5 years ago. He constantly kept getting EarthBounds, Bad Fur Days, a bunch of rare game boxes in bundles for practically nothing. To be honest, it just makes me upset watching those videos. It makes me wonder if those people that sold that stuff to him over the years has watched his videos and saw that he massively ripped them off.

You really didn't even scratch the surface on this guys tactics in his videos. I think your head would explode if you had to go back and watch them but some highlights are: Buying obviously stolen donations from a Goodwill employee in back of a Goodwill, buying from a guy who is selling because he is admittedly on hard times for dirt cheap (he easily could have doubled his asking price and still doubled up), getting jealous when he was at a sale with a friend who found a good game and he straight up begs it off him. You think he just gets up early and to plan his sale route? Nope, he actually messages everyone that posts a garage sale on marketplace to ask if they have any video games, that's where he finds the real victims. Worst of all are his switch trade deals. He advertises the trades non stop of facebook just trolling for someone who does not know what they have to rip off on a one sided trade.
