Here's a problem: my goodwill is a dumpster fire
Same
Yup
Seriously mines as well I’m homestead Florida. It’s literally a dump cart full of dvs and games piled up. No organization! I don’t think this is feasible in Miami. I don’t see good thrift stores or goodwills
My Goodwill's suck
I used to work there most of the good stuff goes online. It was hard to work there.
I honestly thought this was gonna be clickbait but this is genius! So refreshing to see a TH-camr who genuinely cares
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it
I can't bilve I found this from an ad
@@jakk9560 same
@retrorick doesnt do clickbait
Retro rick is the man!
I'm not sure if you realize how influential this series has been to people, Rick. Everytime you show off a new trick, I notice other game hunters in the community following suit. I started hunting since you started making this series and I'm sure hundreds to thousands of other people have as well.
When you made that video showing you trading a lite switch for old collections I immediately started seeing tons of Lite switches up for trade in my community. You've done a lot of good with this series, Rick and I thank you.
thank you so much for the kind words my friend! That means a lot
The problem with this is people want $300 worth of retro games for a $200 lite or worse a used lite you can get for $150 😂
Mixed feelings towards game stop. I don’t like their “new games” that have already been opened and played by employees. Think that’s kinda wack
i agree....love/hate relationship with gamestop for me too
I agree! Gamestop will try and sale you a "brand new" game that has been opened by one of their employees. I got really upset last black friday when I ordered Crackdown 3 for like $12.00 but when I picked it up guess what it was a opened new copy! Luckily 2 or 3 days later Target marked it down around that same price so I finally got me a brand new sealed copy of Crackdown 3. I don't order online from Gamestop anymore and I always ask do you have this game "brand new" sealed when I purchase any new games from the store.
Even if it hasn't been played by an employee, brand new means sealed to me. They can always get a display case or reprint one. It's a terrible practice.
Last time they pulled that on me I gave them the ole "Nah, I'll just go to Target, theirs are still sealed"
@@mistersociety2975 I never understood this. Especially because MOST stores have the fake cases on display too. My local store had 20 copies of Super Mario All-Stars 3D opened and put on display... SMH
I would have never thought in a million years to separate the discs and cases for added value. Genius. Pure genius my friend. Thanks for the video!
hahaha thank you my friend...do it until Gamestop wises up!
@@bagleyjw I was gonna say this too, but my gamestop usually ditches the case anyway, so it's mostly just smart.
But still that whole room probably cost more than my future
He got it free, just watch his 10$ game challenge
This is why I love being subbed to smaller TH-camrs. The passion you put into these videos is incredible.
Yeah I always forget he's got just under 20k subscribers when he has the quality of someone with 2m subscribers
What you mean Retrorick is a legend and a big youtuber! Big inspiration for my measly 56 subscribers channel!
he exploded to 50k
Ok rick now we know why Gamestop online gives us generic case LMAO.
Bahahahahah
hahaha, yes im the culprit! Gamestop online isnt too bad!
@@retrorick I git 3 switch games in original cases the rest came as generic, from gamestop online.
Gamestop online is horrible. I just made a 38 game order, mostly ds, 3ds and some switch games. I ended up returning half. I got 11 with just cases no manual, ONE complete...
@@Jenger420 that's just how GameStop online is. I can't believe you made such a big order for your first online GameStop order, gamestop is known for that.
It literally can be done. I’ve been doing it since he started he 10 dollar challenge. You’ll be surprised how much I made, and how much I get to keep it’s crazy. I don’t know why I never thought about this before!
I would also like to thank RetroRick! You’re a great dude and have great content! Keep up the great work!
killer TJ! Thank you for the kind words...keep hunting my friend!
My goodwill charges $6 a game. I also never find anything from garage sales. I've lost money trying to buy and sell from online. Idk what I'm doing wrong :(
@@LibertyFixxxer mayby try and look at the value of games and what ghey aorth first beoffe u dive in
same here made about 10k this year and that's only off of facebook and kijiji
@@LibertyFixxxer check price charting before you buy them to see what they are worth the can usually sell for 70 percent of there listed price id suggest buying it for about 50 percent of the listed price or less
I love gamestop. They are the reason why I was able to get a complete wii u set for dirt cheap in about a year.
oh wow...incredible! Yeah people hate on Gamestop too much in my opinion
So awesome to see someone else doing this; the joy and enthusiasm are contagious! This is quickly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel.
Thank you so much for the kind words Curtis! So glad you are enjoying the channel!
Ive actually been barred & banned from trading for 6 months for trading in so many copies of Wii Sports last year LMAO. It was a mess, i ended up having to call and speak with a regional manager to get my ban lifted
oh wow...i never knew you could get banned from Gamestop...thanks for the info!
I get banned at least 3 times a year lol did you really get the banned unlifted? Tell me more lol
@@SwagLikeChrist Yeah! It's crazy, I wasn't trading in like 20 HDMI wires or something and would buy every time they had a good promotion going on. I had to call the DM and speak with him and got his regional manager to over turn it. Some how i was flagged, i amassed $280 in trades but spent only $175 in store. They have a unique business model
I know many have commented on getting banned for trading in so many of the same game at GameStop but I wanted to post this to clarify. The general consensus is you can trade in up to 4 copies of the same game in a rolling 30-day window. There's also a dollar limit on trades that can get you flagged as well. I had a 90-day ban last year for trading in one-too-many copies of wii sports :(
Another thing to be aware of, very often on the last friday of the month they'll have a stealth bump in values. They will not advertise the bump in trade values so you have to check to be sure but that's probably why Rick had that decrease on Black Ops II the day before - that stealth bump window is only good from Friday to Sunday usually.
oh wow...thanks for the heads up !
Thank god I saw this comment before I started
“How to get free GameStop games in 3 easy steps”
“I just found an easy way to get things on the fly, steal them!”
- Scott the woz
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
I was watching him and this came up
Well I have no bad feelings towards Gamestop. My wife and I visit our local Gamestops at least one every 2 to 3 weeks. We also visit other local game stores too, but for me GameStop is sorta nostalgic. Been a gamer and collector since the early 80s. So after Funcoland, KB toys and Hills department stores all shutdown in the mid to late 90s, Gamestop was the place to go for me. Good times and memories.
for sure...Gamestop gets too much hate in my opinion
I hate gamestop they already sold me a "new" game that was opened and resealed with a circle sticker!
oh gosh...yeah that is not cool
You decided to take the game bro. They didn't force you. You could have gone somewhere else. If that happens it means its the very last copy available and GS has to open 1 copy to use as the display case for the wall. They always tell you, or they should, that thats what it was used for. If they don't then thats not great, but thats the policy. So, you saw it and decided to take it anyways, so don't complain about it. Free will brother.
Not the biggest fan of GameStop but will miss them when they’re gone. They’re the only video game store remotely close. I think the nearest mom and pop video game store might be about an hour and a half away from me.
yeah i think gamestops life is coming to an end in the near future unfortunately
@@retrorick I remember back when they were called electronics boutique.i just think eventually coming up this new year GameStop will be a thing of the past.Ghe new consoles won't even save them
Luckily the one in my town is to popular to close-
Not sure if any one has mentioned it but 1. Gamestop has a limit of the same game getting traded in 4 times in a rolling 30 days. After that you'd get a traded ban. 2. If you trade games in and pre order certain games (usually the big ones coming out) you'll get a trade boost of 10% extra. Usually I'll put $5 toward the game, take the rest in trade credit on my card and then keep doing that each time I bring in some trades. Sometimes I'll keep the game, sometimes I'll move the credit toward something else I want.
i didnt know about the limit of games until someone else mentioned it...thank for looking out!
This was an ad I clicked on accidentally but I found real content. Wow
Same lmao
GameStop is meh in my book I’ve gotten some crazy deals there but I’ve also gotten ripped off there. Also yesterday I got a original Xbox collection with 21 games for free
Liam Preyer oh wow good deal
Nice deal. I never got into the Xbox. I always wanted to go back and play the starwars old republic games.
@@Matt92685 You should play them you won't be disappointed. Great games!
So this weekend I got a incredible deal at an yard sale. An Xbox360s for 15 and piles of amazing games for fifty cents each. Watching your channel has become my good luck charm I didn't find deals like this till I started watching you.
ha great find! So glad you are finding stuff out there hunting!
Been lurking since week 1. Wanted to tell you that you've become a natural on camera! Great job dude keep it up.
Dude super advice on the GameStop trade in. I’ve been wanting to build that collection up and now I know how!! Your amazing man. I can’t wait to see what else this channel has to offer.
you are too kind Daniel! So glad the channel is helping inspire your game collection!
I've got $2,000 worth of gaming stuff since I started watching your videos in April during National LockDoWn and also started with $10! Love this channel (P.S. got NES Final Fantasy yesterday IN BOX w/ maps for $5!!)
that is amazing Frankie!!! love hearing stories like this...keep hunting!
Woah! Lucky find. I paid full price for my cib Final Fantasy at a local game store that I like. It's the only place that I pay full price at because I love the store so much.
@@nman625 It was definitely all luck. The guy barely had FF showing in the first pic, so most people didn't even know it was part of the lot... so he took the $5 I offered 😂
I love GameStop it’s not all that bad, especially their pre order system. It’s easier then most other places when doing it.👌🏼
ive never pre ordered anything from Gamestop but i know alot of people like their system
@@retrorick I preordered Starfox 64 from them back in the day. The manager had called me that morning to say that my copy was in so I went to pick it up after my classes were over and the employee that was working, different person, said that he had just sold the last copy, which was my copy, to some random walk-in. So I told him that I wanted my money back and that I'd just go pick it up at Best Buy that was across the street. Then he got mad and said that I should just keep the reservation and wait for their next shipment because Best Buy would be out too. I then went to Best Buy and they had like a mountain of Starfox 64s.
I was doing this in July/august saved up trade credit and preordered the ps5 disk console and paid in full definitely worth it in July Mario kart Wii was giving $29.70 in trade credit and I traded about 5 of them !
heck yeah...so much money to be made!
Does this man monetize his videos? I don’t think he does, maybe he’s just doing it for fun, I respect that, he an MVP, you deserve a sub
Also he has so much money from this that he has the money to buy an ad to tell people how to swindle gamestop also
@@n37her28in an earlier video he said he had a son so I’m guessing this is a hobby of his
Separating the cases is probably the most "Dang why did I never think of this!?" moment I've ever had
Be careful trading in at multiple GameStops. I got trade banned about 6 months ago. Target was selling Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 for $5 and GameStop was buying them for I believe $24. Traded in at least 30 copies with my friend at a number of different GameStop’s and haven’t been able to trade in since. Lol
oh wow...that you for the info...i had no idea. I dont want to get banned from Gamestop !
now, all u have to do is find a wii sports resort in a mario kart case and life is complete
I think GameStop is OK it’s just annoying that they keep trying to cram a membership down your throat and they have just a bunch of merchandise nobody buys and they use games can sometimes not even work and then they won’t even give you anything for trading
Rick taught me all I know! Reinvigorated my love for gaming and collecting!! All the best buddy
haha so glad the videos have helped!
Yeah, I have a box of older games that I was probably just going to give away or throw away and he got me interested into looking into their value. So I grabbed one game from the box, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, and figured that it wouldn't be worth more than a couple bucks and it's worth like $15-20 which isn't too bad. So now I want to sell off all of my older stuff that I don't want anymore and get some newer games and systems and get into reselling because it looks really fun.
I like GameStop because they still sell retro stuff, my only problem is when you get say a disc that’s non working, after you send it back they just give it to someone else when they order it.
oh wow , had no idea Gamestop did that
I do sort of the same with my pokemon collection. I buy items for myself, but sometimes I buy in bulk or buy some extras and use them for resell. The money I get with reselling will then be used to buy more Pokemon items and extending my collection.
I am a young collector on a small budget are there any tips and stores I should stop at with cheap price.
Try going to some Goodwill's, flea markets and garage/yard sales. I been doing that for about 2 years and I already have a decent collection
Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it ☺️.
Never realized some of those games trade that high at Gamestop. I've always used eBay as the measure to determine pricing. I'll have to keep that in mind to build up my Switch collection. Awesome tips!
of course...no worries, go get them wii sports discs and trade those suckers in!
It's funny at how overpriced Gamestop sells some Wii games to the point where their trade credit matches online prices.
i know i cant believe it...but until gamestop gets their stuff together...ill keep making money off of them!

Step 1: Get gun
Step 2: Load gun
Step 3: Enter store
I used to like Gamestop more but now I just get everything online. I normally only went there for new games, but online is more convenient. Will go sometimes to get a few cheap games though when they have a preowned deal. Also, I used to get games at GameStop that said trade hold on them all the time. They always forget to take off the sticker when no one comes to claim the game when they reserved it.
I don’t mind game stop if you know what your doing you can get a ton from game stop, but usually there trade in value stinks
Exactly...when i learned this hack, ive shopped at gamestop alot more
I got a lot of my ps3 collection from GameStop when they would have there sales, but now I just go to GameStop for there clearance section lol
my gamestop does 75% off additional on clearance sometimes..its nuts
*their
That was me who mentioned Just Dance 4 and the Black ops 2, you’re very welcome. It’s funny, cause I found another just dance 4 while out game hunting today. Some of the trade-in value is really high at GameStop right now on titles you would never think would be worth it.
thanks so much for the heads up my friend!
Retro Rick glad to help out!
I just started watching you thanks for being nice to fans unlike most TH-camrs
If you need space in that Cabinet, I’d love to buy and take that Sega Saturn off your hands hahah. Great video bud 💪
but you arent SegaSaturn Kyle?!?
Retro Rick hahah good one
Retro Rick it’s the Sega console that got away 🤷🏻♂️
Want a panasonic /kodak gold star 3do system with 2 controllers and rob zombie game... Need for speed first console version ever made? Cha ching my homies called me an idiot in the 90s for grabbing it for $140 with one controller and no game 🤣😭🤣😭 check the comps now 📉📉📉💎💎💎💲🏦🏦
7:14, I love The Office, I’m watching it right now at the same as watching this.
haha for sure...had to add it in!
I saw your ad on a yt vid, and I thought it was IMPOSSIBLE and fake. But after watching this, I can't believe you actually pulled it off! I might try this myself one day...
Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to jump out of my chair and go treasure hunting at Goodwill and other thrift stores! The hunt sure is fun isn't it? :) I've been an eBay seller (and a collector of games/movies I love too) for a long time and I just love doing what I do! It's a rush for sure and super fun!
That’s awesome I never would have thought to separate cases from discs
some good money there!
GameStop has it's uses, I dont hate on em as much as most.
for sure me too...love / hate relationship with Gamestop
I dont hate or like them really they are ok just another place to feed my need for games.
Dinner time with rick I’m having chick fil a while watching 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 yo you are awesome Rick make my Monday’s way better
By the way I love GameStop because there’s a great community and you still can get good as deals no matter what people say I know they have there flaws but every other store are the same, nothing is perfect in life
Honestly, what we like about our local GameStop are the employees. We have a good rapport with them and they've always watched out for us. They've gotten in touch with us on items we'd definitely want to pickup or get a preorder down on, as well has helped us get some DS cases for our handheld collection.
I know everyone normally likes to rag on game stop like you said, but 100% if you hit those deals that they almost always have you can make away like a bandit!
for sure Kaylen, gamestop gets ragged on too much !
How can you get GameCube games when GameStop doesn’t have it anymore.
This is just awesome man! I’m 15 and I love retro games more than current gen. Just picked up a GameCube too! Cheers!
I didn't watch the whole vid, but I think I got the idea from the title and you mentioning stealing games. BRILLIANT!
coming to your place next to take your my little pony collection...you little pony
All the people that work at my local Gamestop are great people. Very friendly and informative of the new games that come out. You only get ripped off if you allow it. So i love Gamestop
Amazing episode Rick! Can't wait to see what games you picked out next week. Favorite series on TH-cam hands down
Man always thought there was no way I could get a game collection “I will never have enough money for all the game consoles and games these youtubers have” and I never believed them when they said they got it for free then yt recommended this to me and ever since that option has changed dramatically (also love all your other series to) sorry for the long comment keep up the great work
thank you so much for the kind words! Im glad you are enjoying the channel!
Scott the woz is going to be mad when he finds a Mario kart with no case
I liked Game Stop when they first opened because they actually carried retro games in store. I don't enjoy going into a Game Stop much anymore.
i get that...mixed feelings for alot of people when it comes to Gamestop
That's a good GameStop tip I like going there when I can I like getting collectible stuff besides games whenever I go
hope it helps my friend!
I've been reading some of the comments. Believe it you can flip and trade to get games and systems for nuthin'! A few years back there was a Gold Edition PS4 (very limited) available. I put a preorder in and when it released I brought appx. 14 or 16 games -all doubles from different systems and recent gens. I traded them and used a bunch of points and got it for free. Plus an extra controller so I recouped my preorder payment.
nice Michael! Yes it can be done but people dont want to put in the effort like you did
What people don't realize but the reality of flipping is being able to unload what you bought and it doesn't happen over night, you could sit on a game for months before you sell it and I imagine it'll be for less than expected
Problem in the UK with this is that all main charities put their electronics / games on eBay auctions and never on the shelves. Unless you want 400 copies of FIFA 12 you’re basically never going to find anything of worth.
That said, I can’t stop watching your content. It’s fantastic.
Also, also, IIRC that Hulk game is amazing. Made by the same devs who made the Prototype series and those games were nuts too.
Love the Inspector Gadget Shirt
Thank you Rickey...i just got it!
GameStop’s cool and all because they have great sales but I love the feeling of going into a retro game store so mixed I guess...
i feel the same way!
The thing that sucks about places like gamestop is when u buy a used game they give u a crappy retail case with retail paper rather than the actual game case with the paper
I absolutely love how many people are collecting now. Its from channel like yours. Really helps get games in the right hands and teaches people to value these artifacts. In 30 years it's people like you that will have made a difference in the quality of stuff available.
wow, thank you so much for the kind words...means a ton!
I like Gamestop because they're my employer. Lol
I wish I could of seen this video before trading my games to other collector because I felt ripoff and wasted my time. Thanks for the tips for being a better collector
ah man, i hate that for you...for sure...hope they help for future trade ins!
Retro Rick yeah thanks I had a lot of rare games and he downplayed it and I told him I can wait for him for a better time and day and I had a meeting I had to go to. He clearly didn’t state his price and now I over paid him and lose a lot of my games and at that point I would think about quitting video games and only go digital because it was too stressful. He was asking for more games if I had any and I said no I would not trade anymore since I felt rip-off and rushed. Just don’t like to rush things and trying to make a good deal for both of us but it felt extremely one sided since he was in a different state
@@deathwizard1996 oh yeah..i totally get that
If only Game and Cex in the UK worked this way...
That incredible hulk game is probably one of the best licensed superhero games ever
nice...thanks for the heads up Rob!
Nice tips! Especially the cases which I didn’t know 👍
for sure...hope it helps!
Right now GameStop is doing 5 dollars a month for pro membership
i know..i have missed out on it a couple times...let me know it expiring Gamestop!
Retro Rick it starts every month
Retro Rick GameStop has a lot of good deals with the GameStop app since they have the point system on how much you spend like for pro membership they get 20 points for every dollar spent and they have gift cards for up to 50 dollars
Also do you often collect the game magazine of game informer in the mail or by digital because I sometimes see people sell those in apps
I do like game stop most of the time. There has been a couple of time I have found a game case on the shelf and bring it to the cashier and they can't find the any where. I get so mad when I find a game I like and they can't find. But there is time I get some stuff for free and that makes my happy.
Gamestop lady looked hard at my game cases and said she could not take wii fit or wii dance . But others worked. Thank you
Three steps to getting free games from GameStop
Step one: get a gun
Step Two: go to GameStop and pull the gun out to the workers
Step Three: Walk out with as many games as you can carry
Really good info Retro. I'm gonna have to give the GS trade ins a try.
do it my friend...take advantage of the gamestop deals before they wise up to it all haha
@@retrorick will do Chief 👍
I worked at GameStop for 10 years! It was a lot of fun times and some not so fun. Worked with some great people that I am still friends with. I get why people hate on GameStop but it's not all bad. The best GameStops have the employees that actually care and love gaming. Since I worked there I would wait for the best time to do trade ins and take advantage of deals coupled with my employee discount. You're method works really well gotta keep and eye on those trade values they tend to fluctuate.
Another trick to pawn shops, go on Saturday and always use cash. In fact, ask if they give you a discount if you use cash.
I’m going to try going to gamestop cause it seems good
do it my friend!
Step 1: buy a gun and skii mask
Step 2:find your local game stop
Step 3:walk into the store and try to "sell ur gun"
My boyfriend and I have been going game hunting - he found a Wii U at a Salvation Army with Mario & Sonic Olympic Games 2014, Wii Sports, Sports Resort AND bonus disc Mario Kart 8 (plus a Mario wiimote). Kept some of the goodies and will resell the rest! Thanks for your tips!
Forgot to mention all of it was $25 😮
oh wow...what a find! Glad the tips have been helping!
@@Lorymurariu DANGGGGG, love it!
I did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I traded in a bunch of Mario Karts, Sports/Resort and NSMB. The guy let me trade in 3 Karts and 3 Sports. I had a couple more, but we didn't want to push the system. I also traded them in for Mario 3D All-Stars, so I got 20% extra trade credit.
Also, one time an employee told me to trade in twords a pre-order, so I could get the extra credit and then cancel my pre-order. I've done that a few times, but I don't abuse it. I don't know if that is a bannable offense, if you continue to do it repeatedly.
ive just learned about the banned situation...glad i didnt get banned!
Another good thing to remember is if you trade in more than 5 of the same thing within a month gamestop will trade ban you. One more thing to keep in mind.
oh wow, i had no idea! Thanks for the info...i dont want to get banned from Gamestop!
@@retrorick Yea happened to me last year when I was trading in Xbox 360 controllers. Just make sure to wait a month after #5 and youll be good!
@@Nadamoor will do, thanks again!
I like the Inspector Gadget shirt. Too bad his niece Penny is better at solving the mysteries than he is.
Go, Gadget, go! 🙂
Imagine being a pawn shop owner and you see some guy buying multiple copies of black ops 2. If only they were the right games
I bought a couple of rare games this past week at a local thrift store and sold them and turned it into a sega master system with 4 games, 2 controllers, and the light gun
nice! I am still on the lookout for a master system!
Absolutely love this series. Recently found ricks channel a few weeks ago and watched all these videos. After watching these videos I was checking our local Facebook market place every day. I found a guy selling a few Xbox one games and 2 of them caught my eye. I noticed he also had Hell Blade senduas sacrifice which goes for around £18 on EBay. He said £5 a game but he ended up saying 3 games for £10. I got Assassins creed unity, Skyrim elder scrolls v deluxe edition and hell blade for £10. I then sold hell blade for £17 on EBay. So pretty much a £7 profit, and 2 new games. Thank you very much Rick, this really works.
I dont really like gamestop, but there is this place called video game world where they basically buy and sell anything video games from any console. The best part is their promise where they will have better trade in deals from any other store
Here I am almost 3 years later watching this video seeing how bad GameStop trade in values are now compared to then.
From the uk and do a lot of what you mentioned here myself. A store called cex shows their trade in values online so whenever i come across doubles or stuff i no longer need i check their trade in value vs what i would get via ebay and more often or not its better to trade it in and keep the credits. Doing this i got myself a boxed assassins creed 1 collectors edition, boxed tales of berseria collection, castlevania on gba, a ton of anime dvds, operation wolf, dr mario, and a whole lot of other stuff just from 2 trade ins i did. Well worth if you take the time
Man it's been awhile, ever since I beat 31 I get heartburn sometimes. I have it now. Help meeee. Great episode.
Gamestop is a love/hate relationship. I enjoy talking to some of the employees but the "new" games not being sealed is annoying. Once bought a "new" Bravely Default on the 3ds at Gamestop. Went home to play it, and found a saved file of over 96 hours on it.
That's the way to do it. Glad your area still has good titles for cheap. Not the case here so i have to live vicariously through your channel...lol.
ah man, that suck Ted...wishing you luck out there!
About 5 years ago Gamestop had 60% extra trade in credit if you traded in more than six games. During that sale I got around $1500 dollars in trade in credit. This was around the time Garden Warfare 2 and Amazing Spiderman 2 would trade in for $65 each with the additional trade in promo. I went around all the Walmarts in my area and snagged up as many copies of these two games as I could to trade in. I probably spent about $200 dollars and managed to get over 1000 dollars trade credit.
yes, i remember that too...i racked up at gamestop!
My area is so played out, it's like a feeding frenzy by the games and DVDs. You would never find such good games at the stores. And if you shopped this slow, people would be reaching over you to snatch up everything. We've had nothing but the same two scratched up sports games at my thrift store for a month now...
oh man that is the worst...i hate that Jeremy
I used to love them until I was told I cannot buy from them directly and go through the “bulk seller” department. I was buying some skylanders games at a few GameStop’s.
oh man that is rough...sorry my friend
That's crazy that gamestop will take your games without the cases. Most game stores here won't even touch them without the cases and manuals. Gonna have to try this on my next batch of trades. Love the Channel Rick keep the videos coming.
You are one smart man Retro Rick! Sorry for posting three times like this but you are absolutely doing the right thing by holding onto these cases and manuals because they really do sell for a decent amount. I recently came across Pokemon SoulSilver for the Nintendo DS and, while I was incredibly bummed that the game wasn't inside, I decided to go ahead and purchase just the case/manual/inserts for $4.50. It sold for $40 and, oddly enough, it was the best purchase of the day (I bought some rare movies as well but nothing touched the Pokemon DS case!)
