  • I love finding retro games for sale in my town, especially NES and Nintendo items. A friend messaged me saying their coworker had an NES set for sale and asked if I was interested. Uh.. yeah! Here's what was all included and why you should always ask if they have more video games.

    Its nice to see people like yourself that are happy yet humble about these epic finds. Nothing turns me off more then "You will not believe how we ripped off this old lady for her sons video games! Haha its her fault she doesn't know the value" A few channels out there and I bet you folks know whom I am speaking of.

    I still have my own boxen near mint NES action system from my youth. As do i have every other game and console ever owned still boxed and complete in great shape. Had the luck to be the kid that took care of his stuff and never had to sell things. Today i have a game attick where the games and consoles are stored and displayed :)

    Thats awesome John! Last year I bought a Sega Genesis Sonic edition CIB, mint, all manuals and plastic baggies, for $120 here in Chicago! Even better, when I met up for the purchase, it was a retired couple who said belonged to their son long ago and was a Christmas present. So yes, mine was a 1 owner also. Felt special too! Salud to that! 🍻🍻 Great video & great find my friend!👍😎

    @OldMan_PJ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Rubber bands around cords trigger me, I always wrap around the controller, it's gentler on the cord. In fact, I've got a 3rd party Switch controller sitting in front of my on my desk with the cord wrapped around it. The key is to leave a little of the cord coming out of the controller loose and wrap the rest of the cord.

    @zombiejlt1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for sharing John, that is a nice set and one I don't have so if you do put these up for sale at Whatnot hope I can make it.
    It's always a good rule of thumb to ask if someone has more even or ask in general as you never know. Sometimes people have so much "clutter" they forget so can't really go wrong. Great scores!

  • @JimmysALilGirl
    @JimmysALilGirl 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    People have been telling me that wrapping the cord around the controller will break it for decades. How many of my controllers have broken due to wrapping it like that? 0. My NES controllers STILL work despite wrapping them like that. I've gone through more 360/ONE controllers (which have no wires) then any other controllers in my life and I've been playing games since the mid 80's.
    I also blow in my cartridges and when I was younger would lick both sides of the contacts (I just clean them now) and people would say that not only would break my game but also the system. How many games and systems have broken due to either of those things? 0.
    I guess superstition can affect anyone.
