Selling my weird Nintendo Switch to GameStop did NOT go as planned
Today we're going to Gamestop because I am a masochist and love getting ripped off on trade-in deals! Just kidding it wasn't that bad (it was just a little bad) and it was all worth it because I need that new Silent Hill 2. Ok seeya later.

Just a question. If they had FF7 for $49.99 new, wouldn't it have made sense to buy that for $49.99, got the Pro-Trade since it's new and got that 30%, and then bought Dragon's Dogma 2 pre-owned? I know there is a discount for pre-owned games, but I wasn't sure how their trade-in process works.
The pro-trade is weird and there's a cutoff for games that are eligible based on their release date. I think after a couple weeks from release the new games aren't eligible anymore
That makes sense! I was trying to figure that out, thank you for explaining that!
earlier switches sell for more online if they are hackable ones.
What song is the guitar in the intro?
It's just the song from the Silent Hill 2 trailer, I'm sure it's on the OST but I'm not sure what it's called
@@collectorjohn9538 oh I see.
When I was selling my ps5, a trade in program gave me just about the full new value back in store credit. could only get half at best on craigslist.
Man, your videos just make me feel good when I feel bad. Thank you for uploading. Never stop. 😮💨
Glad to hear it dude ❤️
Dragon dogma 2 is good
Love the video, but with that insane trade in price I'd personally much rather deal with the hassle of selling on Craigslist or Facebook !!!!!
Outlaws $60 not terrible 😂🤦 It’s not even worth what we say here in the UK a fiver 😂 £5
I always think it’s a mistake to take too many games to any one store - that gives them the leverage to be overly choosy in what they do take.
Better sell me your switch for 110😂
Hell yeah new Collector John
7:14 AHHH🎃🎃🎃
Great pick ups! Want to grab silent hill soon
Eh, I would've kept the DS games you wanted and bought the cases/manuals on eBay. Any time I sell something thinking I'll find a better condition or complete copy later I end up paying way more. Just my two cents 😊
Fair enough. If/when I start my DS collection I want to make videos about it, and buying cases from eBay wouldn't make great content haha
I'm curious why you didn't decide to sell it on facebook rather than do the gamestop headache, just to get more worth especially when they gave you almost half of what was originally posted
They didn't take the switch because it's missing the serial number and all that's on the back of the switch
Makes sense
If you had doubts about them taking your Switch because of the back plate, why didn’t you just put the original back on before you went. Now you’re making 2 trips to GameStop. Love your videos
Because I'm a moron. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed Rebirth a lot more than dragon's dogma 2. The latter had flashy beginning that just kinda fizzled out. However Rebirth had me hooked the whole time.
That's too bad. I'm really enjoying Rebirth, haven't gotten to DD2 yet
Calling remakes "remasters" is painful for me to hear. They didn't take the old SNES version of Super Mario RPG and upscale the graphics. It's the same for TTYD... there is a big difference.
I was under the impression that RPG was a full remake and TTYD was more of a remaster but maybe I was wrong
Wow such an inconvenience to hear him say remaster instead of remake, oh dear whatever will you do ?
@@LachlanFarahlol right it was just a simple mistake or he just wasnt informed
Go Pack Go
🐐🐐🐐!
Wow your GameStop has double or triple the selection of PS5 that mine does. Must be closer to a large city.
Yeah I'm in Milwaukee
Did you ever do the idea where you read the review in the official Xbox magazine and then play the game to see if it’s still lives up to the score?
Joycons are garbage. Why i quit replacing them. Miss Nintendo games but the consoles are built complete opposite of how they used to be.
They are unbelievably bad. And they never lowered the price which was too high to begin with. There's no universe where Joycons should cost more than a Dualsense controller haha
Just platinumed silent hill 2 it’s a great game to play for fun but playing it four times for the platinum is a nightmare
Yeah that sounds horrible lol
I see a collector John video. I like.. simple as that 😁
Same.
A new collector John video… Awesome ! A new collector John video under 20 minutes. Bummer. 😮

Fashionable moostashah (mustache), and Crocs all in one video. If anyone needed a reason to subscribe twice, that would be it.
Lol thank you
Yikes only $110 trade in for the Switch. 2 weeks ago they were offering $186 for it. But like always when GameStop has a percentage trade in they reduce the trade in credit for what the special offer is for.
It's dropping real fast
Collectathan Johnathan, I enjoy your videos a lot! Keep it up, dude!
Appreciate it boss! 😄
I'm new to your channel. Do you ever try to sell on Marketplace? I know, given enough time, you could have gotten at least $120 for the switch there
Sometimes. I really hate it though haha
@@collectorjohn9538 Oh yes, I know what you mean
I like your videos, but i cant imagine getting rid of my switch. Well until the switch 2, but even then im keeping my games.
Still have one, I just upgraded to an OLED. Maybe I forgot to mention that
@@collectorjohn9538 I'm sorry. I wasn't calling you out or anything. I like your videos a lot. Im autistic and sometimes I miss meaning in videos. Didnt mean anything bad. Thanks. Also I hope silent hill comes to Xbox series s one day. I cant afford a PS5 😭
You didn't say anything wrong friend :) thanks for the kind words
Its officially Friday now 😎
👍👍👽👽
I would not accept 50% of trade in from my local store. 80% of price charting is what I get from my local spot
What?? Do you own the store?
Damn better take advantage of that. They wont be around for long with those percentages.
Ok friend
@@collectorjohn9538 I guess I just have a good relationship with them. I've been going there for years.
best I can do is $5
Sold!
Love watching your videos and seeing the area. Lived slightly north of for many many years until I moved south few years ago. Miss certain things but you can keep that nasty Wisconsin winter lol.
I love winter haha. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
you would have been better off going to a pawn shop
Perhaps! However I really wanted Silent Hill 2 + those other new-ish games from this year and it seemed unlikely that many pawn shops would have those in stock. I also find it highly unlikely that there are any places paying that much more than $80 for a first gen switch at this point. I could've maybe made a bit more selling on eBay but I hate selling on eBay
@HansoloToker You could have been better off selling on Facebook marketplace, but there’s more and time involved in that. At the end of the day, each person decides what route is best for them based on what they are looking for to sell, trade or whatever. It’s all subjective so John did what would be the best return for his time and money.
You can get a joy stick repair kit for the joy con's dude, super easy fix and cheap to do it yourself, I did mine.
Those joycons were originally from that Switch (which I bought in 2017) and I did the shell swap myself a couple years ago. One has drift and the other doesn't charge. I did replace the charging rail and battery in the not charging one and it still doesn't work. Also those shells I bought were pretty low quality 3D printed garbage and were cracking everywhere. At some point I was done messing with them haha. Again, joycons still costing $80 new is a travesty; they are not good
@collectorjohn9538 Ahh that's fair enough dude, mine only had the dift, so I brought a new joystick for like £5 with the repair tool kit off ebay, as I wasn't prepared to pay £70 for a new pair of joycons! What a CON that is! Haha, the switch pro controller is the way forward, I don't remove the joycons off the console anymore so they don't brake 😆
The pro controller is great, I wish the joycons build quality was at that level
Dude Gamestop's website is a mess. I'm glad you at least got the games you wanted. You *maybe* could have played the long game by taking the Switch to an independent store and just saved the credit until Rebirth popped up. However I understand how it feels to want the shiny new thing right now. See ya next time!
Yeah, I'd rather go to an independent store but the guy I usually go to specifically told me he doesn't need more switches and isn't paying a lot for them right now. I fell for the $110 in trade value but obviously that didn't pan out. Was also really gunning to get Silent Hill 2 + those other new games I missed this year which I haven't seen any copies of in my local stores yet
@@collectorjohn9538 It's all good man, you didn't get completely screwed. I'd like to see you play Rebirth if you're up to it I haven't watched any gameplay of it yet.
Oh GameStop… will you ever learn?? Yeah, I hardly ever go into GS anymore. Here in Canada their prices are consistently higher than any local shops, or even eBay for that matter. And the amount of credit you get for trade-ins is complete garbage. So no reason for me to step foot in there. But on a different note, Valfaris is an awesome game! It’s very reminiscent of old school Contra but with a heavy metal overlay. I had a great time with it.
Right, really the only reason I go is for brand new games. And $110 for a Switch would have been solid if they didn't change the price on me, lol. Valfaris seems cool!
@@collectorjohn9538 for sure, $110 (would have been) totally decent for a weird switch lol
The second valfaris game is a gradius type shooter oddly enough.
@@Frogdoddofficial oh weird lol I didn’t even know that there was a second Valfaris game
Life is good when collector John does another video
Thanks dood 🙏
First Comment!! Just recently found your videos when I fell asleep watching youtube and woke up to see Von Trier was on the screen?!?! I'm from Milwaukee and used to live on Murray just down the street from there. I've moved away in the last year so seeing the Milwaukee haunts like Make Cents and the east side Mega Media Exchange (gg) is very comforting. I really enjoy your videos and your approach to collecting in general, specifically that you play your games. Its encouraged me to play through some of the gamecube stuff I have been collecting. Keep up the great work!! PS: have you ever game hunted at record head in West Allis I've gotten some good stuff there, also there is a shop in Menomonee Falls called Universal Collectibles that is small but stuffed with games and other stuff.
Hey thanks for the kind words!! For some reason, I still haven't done any recording at Record Head but that's going to change soon. I've been there quite a few times
Great pickups. I just finished Silent Hill 2 Remake. Bloober did an awesome job.
It's really great. I'm in the prison currently and had to take a break because it was really stressing me out haha
@collectorjohn9538 yah the prison is crazy. I tried to only play it when the sun was up. Cuz I scared. Lol
Yeah I was playing with the sound turned down and a TH-cam video playing on my laptop because I couldn't handle it, but that kind of defeats the purpose lmao
Do not shop at Gaystop. Support your local mom and pop shops instead....
I do!
i have one of those tvs I played my ps2 on it
to everyone who has a rather huge backlog as me i also dont buy any ganes anymore too but i can give out the suggestion to play multiple games at once so you play game a, b and c interchangeably i can also recommend to not buy that many games even if you do concentrate on single player only stuff so you have freedom over it when to play it and that the game doesnt become unusable once its online servers shut down
Cool video. Here in the UK I stop off at a few charity shops (same thing as goodwill) once or twice a week on my walk home and 90% of the time it is old sports titles but I do find the occasional fun game. Found a copy of Guitar Hero world tour on xbox 360 and guitar bundled for £9 a few days back and last night me and my brother got it working and spent a good two hours taking turns rocking to some songs. Since covid a lot of stores stick a lot of electronics (Not just games) online but I still pop in and have a look around and find a fun game.
Bro spliffed up before the video 😂🔥

I know I'm super late to the party, but I actually just got a physical copy of the Stubbs The Zombie remaster for ps4. Hyped AF to get it going sometime in the near future!
