I figured out the pawn shop awhile back. Good place to buy games too, at a flat rate, you can find good deals. Iv found several $50 games for $10 at pawn shops.

[@Retrobution]

my advice - dont sell games by the tub load or bag load. just a handful of games at a time. it makes it easier to break down the price for individual games so you can challenge the price. a large tub of games can be annoying for staff to go through and check each disc, not all staff are passionate about a load of games, for an independent seller or whatever they would take more interest. but for just someone working at the till.. not so much so they may low ball you with a low price just to take the lot off your hands. as not everyone is prepared to hump a big tub of games around town. they have seen this before many times so often would low ball. just seeing a tower of games their immediate thing to do is treat them like a stack of any old games. you could have a nicer limited edition sleeve version but when they are just all stacked like that they dont get that individual treatment as they would if you had a handful of games. if you try to challenge them on the price to perhaps offer more, all they are thinking of then is.. we already have loads of these, or, id have to file all of these away and price them individually.. take the price or leave it XD smaller bundles is a nicer transaction as well

I used to run a Gamestation store in the UK (similar to gamestop, owned by GAME at the time, which is VERY similar to gamestop lol). When GAME bought Gamestation from Blockbuster Video they had acquired all of Gamestations stock in the deal and had to transfer everything over to the GAME till system. GAME hadn't sold ps1 or mega drive etc etc in years, and instead of letting Gamestation carry on selling them, they didn't want to pay tax on all of that inventory, so they did a company wide order to smash the lot. Every single Gamestation store had to smash and dispose of all retro games, everything up to the PS2 as ps2 they were still selling, AND take video/photo evidence of it all smashed in a dumpster. Couldn't even give them to staff. They didn't want any trace of this stuff as they were writing it off for tax reasons. When Gamestation went under (GAME is still going btw) I started my own business then, and the skull logo is about trying to bring retro back from the dead or to keep it still going today.

I eventually ran into a manager who caught on to how much they were losing on the games I had already sold to them and cut me off, but I made a good $100 profit before that point.

[@paulhord8081]

In my experience, GameStop will sadly usually give more cash, but other game or electronics stores will usually trade more stuff. To clarify I wasn’t trading poop, the last thing I traded was a barely used ps2 with the hard drive and adaptor and a bunch of unopened games like armored core and a bunch of others I didn’t know were worth a lot. GameStop wouldn’t take most of it, but one of the local game shops/electronics stores traded me a brand new 360s and a small tv and a 3ds and a bunch of games I wanted.

Oh and we weren't allowed overtime, so if we were stuck doing trades for people who decided it wasn't enough money after 20-30 minutes of keeping me from cleaning the store then that meant I was working 20 to 30 minutes off the clock after we closed because the store was to be spotless for open the next day.

You're getting stock items even if it's not the greatest seller. 2. You just gave a returning customer store credit to spend in your store. Yes, store credit is that they don't have to pay. However, the customer is 10x more likely to come back and spend more based off of the relationship that was built.

😂😂😂😂 slaps?

[@Mrx7tloma]

I was so close with GameStop. My bet was 12 dollars and I even told myself they probably won’t even take all the games.

[@IgetSyKO]

Oh GameStop surprised me Thought they’d only take 50% of those games…. They only took 3

[@MortifiedPenguinX]

next test is to compare selling in a lump vs individual/small groups. might get quite a bit more as you can barter over certain titles rather than having them get lost in the shuffle and sometimes they arent in the mood to play so theyll just give you a flat rate unless you have an obvious standout shiny charizard sticking

[@phoenixtventertainment1155]

i really hope that these games go up in value later in the years

[@mariaangwin4007]

So excited for you both. Love your content!

[@makinghistory4625]

How come they say 2-3$ a piece when you're selling a total of 100 games, and yet they STILL give you lower than 100$?

[@Reet69]

“We sell them for 2-3 a piece “ so they can’t pay more then a buck

[@kongman536]

Stores need to make profits to survive. If they sell products for the same price they bought it for, they'll be selling at a loss.

[@rusoestrada77]

Hey Caleb, out of curiosity, how do you approach games that you see are rising in prices but aren't really worth it to pick up yet when at stores? How do you decide when to take a risk or not?

[@bradmoberly6164]

Was you at the Andover forest sale in Lexington a week ago?

[@grawlix311]

So funny, I grew up with a “Matt’s Game Exchange” - super combo of the stores!

[@GamingintoEternity]

Congrats Caleb! Wishing you all the best of getting into the bigger home to grow the business!

[@jafy1211]

Thanks for sharing the price differences. Provides a good perspective. Also, Spanky on the videos is great!! Can't wait for big things to happen in the future

[@wafflemaster1016]

Hey Caleb I’ve just started re selling video games on eBay a couple weeks ago and it’s so fun! Your videos have helped me know what’s good to get and there so fun to watch so thanks so much and ignore all the hate because your amazing.😎

[@lolcoolguy12]

Good luck on the sales!

[@bluebelle9572]

Good luck

[@wafflemaster1016]

Thanks guys!

[@vincentmoore8566]

260 was a dubious lick, he played it cool as a fan too lmao

[@r1pp3dx]

The last guy - Matt was awesome. If he offered me that, I would only go to his shop to purchase all my future systems/games.

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Matt's Games is great! They always pay way more than anywhere else I have tried!

[@desmondeliot5454]

Dont think that this is strictly “scientific” considering that matts games is a business partner and friend on phoenix

[@moonie5565]

Probably best to just have a yard sale. You'd likely get double what any store is willing to pay you

[@reneallergak9275]

2:19 Gooftroop soundtrack from the super nintendo...thats a troweback..goddann lovely

[@retrowatcher]

Just discovered your channel through Retro Rick. Awesome stuff! Keep up the great work!

[@maddocks97]

Very happy to see you both having an amazing target! Sending all the luck, you can do this!

[@Ace-tw5db]

Damn I would have given you a dollar for each game and taken them all.

[@Mikailjaffer]

Would’ve given them 5

[@ebertcombs6610]

You should do mystery boxes for each different console

[@jok3rxdark462]

Love this content. I live in winchester ky so I know a lot of these places you go to. Thank u for the content

[@macjess723]

10:59 please tell me what game that song came from its hitting a nostalgia button and must be played

[@macjess723]

Omg I think I know.. hang on..

[@macjess723]

Astyanax!

[@midnightrider4ever]

"These people are paid by the hour..." Wasting someone's time is not excusable. Some of us that own a shop also run it. My shop gives 1/3 of current retail on commons and up to 1/2 of current retail on better titles depending on condition. I own Budget PC and Retro Games in Eldon MO.

[@GamesfromtheGrave]

Charge by the hour if they don't accept your offer. Appraisals aren't free.

[@jeffsadowski9244]

THANK YOU. Finally a voice of reason. I am not in the gaming industry but I can only imagine the level of disgust you feel for this guy for doing this. He was completely out of line for saying "They are paid hourly." without considering the other factors of operatoring a gaming store. It's clear this guy hasn't worked a day in his life.

[@DetBusa]

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE SHOP THAT OFFERS YOU THE MOST IS GOING TO GET ALL OF THE OTHER TUBS OF GAMES? YOU SOLD THEM AND DIDNT GIVE THEM TO THE GUY THAT GAVE YOU THE MOST.

[@dennisccook]

Cheering you and your wife on with your goals!

[@SquirreldawayNH]

We are a brick and mortar gaming shop in NH and we will do 40% of the market price. We are always looking for retro games and systems. If you ever want to bring bins to us, we would love to look through and give you a price.

[@ShannonWilliamsJr]

Thanks for adding the Goof Troop music for my nostalgia!!!
