This is a long one, but hopefully it shows just a glimpse of what's always going on in the background of the business, some our thoughts, and our processes! Also, let us know if you want more long-form videos like this!
Hi Chase, I live in the Uk and love your videos but I miss out on the full journey because I cant see the wattnott sales so could you do a live youtube show the same time as the wattnott auction thanks Mystery.
5% and thanks so much for the deep dive I like the long form content sprinkled in there. What a crazy blessing of a collection! Thanks for the awesome content and all the work that was put in on the back end Skylar and Dave!! God bless everyone!!!
5% and always looking forward to more content! As a fellow reseller I greatly appreciate all that you offer, I've learned a lot watching your videos and I'm always amazed by your finds!
I love seeing all these rare games, not a huge fan of the grading games thing, but I understand for amazing pieces like these, awesome video as always!
5% watched the entire thing n loved it all . Pure 🔥 on all your sales, Graded games sold items . Still curious on your full buy in from the collector. But, you guys are amazing n having a great business and helping the community.
love the continuing show, it pays to know your fellow graders and be up on what company gives you the best value for the price just sensible business practices. even tho you are looking for profit your advice and common sense approach always makes your videos fun and good watching.
5%! Absolutely love watching your videos. So informative and truly educational. I’ve learnt so much from you guys and a complete inspiration. continue to do amazing things!
5% 😉 It s amazing the way you explain all your ways to build up your company. And most important in my eyes is that you are so genuine and good towards the different people you work with in garage sales, collector's sale, etc. Last but not least, you can find the right people to grow your team. Congrats! Cheers from Cambodia
Love these videos and would love to watch the full story of this and learn. What’s spent, what’s time and hours, what’s made, and is their profit. Just love watching this stuff
Love this channel, you guys are awesome and help us other resalers out tremendously. Can't thank y'all enough. We the community need some catrp patches so we can represent the crew I know I'd buy them if y'all made them.
5% ! Love the vids boys! Im very familar with selling games not as familar with the grading aspect. Would be super cool to see a video from you guys going over the whole " What are the signs that tell you a game is worth grading". Ive come across a few sealed games( low buy cost) but dont know if they were re sealed. Anyways! Thanks again loved the longform vid
Your videos easily cause me to hit the 5% everytime. I can't believe how some of the cardboard cased games are hitting A++. That is incredible. Happy for you guys!
Mad respect to you guys, always enjoy all of your videos on each channel. I sell some on the side and it’s something I love doing but it can get monotonous. One thing you guys always help me remember is to keep it light and fun when you can. Keep pumping out these awesome videos fellas!
5%. Love you guys. Amazing collection. 1st ask - For education purposes, can you guys do a video on Skylanders and Disney Infinity characters and if there is any value to any of them. I feel like they were my children’s Beanie-Baby collectibles and bought a lot of them. Just want to know what to do with them.
Nail polish remover works really well in removing sticky labels.. obviously on plastic it works great but on laminated cardboard you have to be very careful in case you rub too hard..
The tape on the game may have come from the retail store. I used to work at a cd store that would put tape on some high-priced or high-theft items. Or if the original shrink-wrap got broken.
I remember when i worked at Amazon's trade in program, the video game department would see mutiple SEALED Gameboys and other consoles and have to break the seal and take out the corroded batteries and sell them as used.
You guys should start a virtual library (save a picture)of every game you have ever owned, then even after selling it you have a memory of the collection as a whole! And if you still don't own it you can say you did at one time!! If you have it on your site we can follow along as well!
5% every upload. I think a lot of us would like to see more of how the grading process works. If you could connect with one of the grading companies and show the process, or at least show off more of the notes and why, it would make a great video.
When you buy a collection like this after you keep what you want do you reach out to other collectors like retro Rick or retro Wolf etc.... before selling them on eBay or whatnot
5% one. I’m just wondering, is the sealed/graded market really that interesting? Do those games really sell easy? Certainly WATA graded games, here in Europe WATA doesn’t have a good name.
Old guy question, but can you get insurance policy to cover the value of this collection? In case something happened to the barn? I know shoe collectors have issues getting the true value insured but I never thought about a game collection.
Shoes are different. An Insurance policy should cover the ACV (actual cash value) of the product. Meaning the actual cost to replace the game. The price would be the worth of the game, not the cost of a basic game. Shoes can be looked at differently as most would consider them shoes, not a collector piece.
I've always wondered with graded games and cards if you opened the case and sent them back how much different the grade would be. Obviously, that's not cost-effective.
Really nice collection 🙌 But I think grading is meaningless. Feels like its not a game when graded. More like a painting… And after the ”wada-thing” it feels wrong in many ways. But keep up with the good work with your videos.. 1h is not to long 😁 Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪
I’d say grading an opened game is meaningless, but imo sealed makes sense. Nobody is going to open a $500 sealed game anyways, and everyone would rather it stay in great shape. So grading would be the only way to ensure it stays the way it is
@@angrybirdbob2881 Yes, you have a point there… But is the companies that grade games trustworthy? I never even seen a graded game. We dont have that in Sweden, what I know of.
@@eraserhead29 WATA isnt really anymore (a lot went on with them), VGA seems to be fine, and CGC while new have done great with comics/coins/cards so I don’t see why videogames will be their exception lol
I believe that they would BUT only if it INCREASED the value & asking price.They wouldn't bother, just for the sake of having completeness. In some instances, finding JUST the original game manual (alone) is difficult if not impossible. To them they make their money on the sale. Collectors are their customers. If something is missing or not sealed they take the loss and be happy with just that. Then move on to the next customer.
I do question why Dwight didn't do a heap of grading when he was no doubt watching the boom in game sales in the covid era knowing he had all these sealed gems in his basement. I bet his kinda glad he didn't after Karl's expose on wata. Regardless I'm glad you got all these sweet gems sealed up tight and wish you all the luck in selling them to grateful collectors. Keep up the great work guys. Love all the vids. 5%
This is a long one, but hopefully it shows just a glimpse of what's always going on in the background of the business, some our thoughts, and our processes! Also, let us know if you want more long-form videos like this!
Appreciate the long form video, it's packed full of information and honestly just fun to listen to and watch.
Didn’t the guy you bought it from in the main channel say that you only paid $700 for this? (Why do you guys keep saying a high buy cost?)
@@MitchellPSmith-hl9fu they paid 700 for extra stuff not originally included in the lot
Love the long vids as means i don't miss any info if told over three vids x
I personally prefer the longer-form videos. You guys are awesome. Best of luck on selling off this beautiful collection.
5%! Glad you guys are taking your time on this amazing collection. Can't wait to see what the final numbers on sales are.
I’d like to see the final profit (net of all fees) on the $100,000 collection.
I'm glad you record this, living vicariously through you on this one
Hi Chase, I live in the Uk and love your videos but I miss out on the full journey because I cant see the wattnott sales so could you do a live youtube show the same time as the wattnott auction thanks Mystery.

Love the long-form, deep dive you guys do into massive purchases. Hope to see more!
WATA or CGC needs to have y’all for a factory tour showing the process, etc..
Would make for an interesting video.

I’m the 5% as always. Gotta love the collection. Not a fan of grading but with this sealed collection it seems to make sense. That Jack Bros 😮
You should have did pedigree status on this collection with CGC. They would grade and label it from this particular collection.
5% Nice score on all the games!!! Can't wait to see what the future holds for the CATRP Crew!!!
i remember all my sealed n64 came with a red nintendo strip, are those re sealed maybe?

5% every time! You guys make great content and I’m always looking forward to seeing the next project.
Great long form video covering the entire collection!
Love the longer videos- keep up the good work guys👌
Show us the full process on how to properly grade video games
Those alien hominids stickers are hard to remove. There’s most likely an anti theft magnetic strip behind it
I love how these videos tie into the main channels videos 🔥
5% all day brother 💯. Very inspiring

Nice outfit, Chase! Should’ve wore yellow socks with blue borders too! 😅😘
Can you do a video of you prepping the games for grading and the steps that needed before sending them off
5% as always, great work gents. Always love the longer journeys for success
Nice to be one of the 5%!
100% always watch all ur videos from being to end !!
The tape on the game may have come from the retail store. I used to work at a cd store that would put tape on some high-priced or high-theft items. Or if the original shrink-wrap got broken.
One of the 5%!! Enjoyed early dinner with a good video.
1% baby oh yeah! great vid as usual guys!
5% Very cool to see. congrats on the good return. great grades
Congratulations, fellas! Hard work pays off. I'm very proud of you all.
VERY interested in purchasing the Katamari Damacy if its still available !
5% Crazy to see this volume of stuff in that condition!
Always in the 5%! Great job! 👏👏👏
5%er. Enjoyed this run. What an amazing collection.
What’s up with the A++ or A+ and it gets a 9.2?
End result a museum ... hopefully
5% keep marking these once in a life time deals the content is great
is it possible to show up to your game barn and buy from you directly
I remember when i worked at Amazon's trade in program, the video game department would see mutiple SEALED Gameboys and other consoles and have to break the seal and take out the corroded batteries and sell them as used.

How often do you keep inventory for the holiday rush??
Do you ever sit on it knowing it may go up in the coming months??
5% Awesome video, nostalgia hitting hard
5%. Of course. I don’t skip on Chase or CATRP videos. (Except for the ad bits). Bartledo
5%. Love this collection. Did I miss the buy cost or was it not said?
5% from Wigan UK. Taco Bell just opened in our town but i just can't get the accent right the way Thayne and Chase do it 😂
Chase you are nice in this type of gaming sell. ❤
5%, always 🔥 Awesome content
5% every upload. I think a lot of us would like to see more of how the grading process works. If you could connect with one of the grading companies and show the process, or at least show off more of the notes and why, it would make a great video.
When will you be selling sealed n64 games and sealed GameCube games either on whatnot or on your eBay store..?
I say either take em to gamestop or sell them however you want but continue the $10 thrift challenge
please show all the math on the purchase, and the sales!!!!!!!!!! so interesting!
When you buy a collection like this after you keep what you want do you reach out to other collectors like retro Rick or retro Wolf etc.... before selling them on eBay or whatnot
Chase you also need to upgrade your wallpaper to a new one with the baby included
Lol trueeee
If sealed blackthrones are going for less than 800, it makes zero sense to pay 500 for an opened one.
5% and congrats to AL Pal being a Dad!

Five Percent. Thanks for the video gents!
I want that Jack Bros... In that condition I'd easily pay $1500 - $2000. NVM you graded it sooo now it's probably more than I'd be willing to pay.
5%!! Great video!
Love seeing when you get museum quality collections pieces. 5%
5% - enjoyed the video...what an awesome collection.
Bruh I wish I could afford the THPS & THPS 2 N64 Graded 😢 I'd buy them off you so fast!!

For games like the N64 Worms Armageddon without the manual, would you buy the manual separately to complete it?
I believe that they would BUT only if it INCREASED the value & asking price.They wouldn't bother, just for the sake of having completeness. In some instances, finding JUST the original game manual (alone) is difficult if not impossible. To them they make their money on the sale. Collectors are their customers.

Well, leave it shrink wrapped to be putting on a shelf even if you want to unwrapped it soon.
