Collection paralysis. When you have too much to choose from, you often end up doing more thinking about what to play/view and end up viewing/playing nothing. Same thing happens when you have too many TV channels to choose from, etc, lots of scrolling, but not much viewing. I got a second pair of joycons brand new from Argos, in my preferred color, for less than what CEX was selling them in used condition.
Great console to collect for! Yes it is modern gen but has everything from retro to modern games! By far the best Nintendo console ever released, if anyone says any different it’s just nostalgia talking! Only other thing I collect for now is ps4 vr games as they are super cheap and well worth going after now!
That’s exactly how I feel, my top 5 games ever are in no order Streets of rage 1 Mario 3 Street Fighter 2 Tony Hawks 2 Golden Eye GTA San Andreas I can play everyone of them on the switch without needing the original consoles
@@retrosmashtv tell truth mate so difficult to name even top 10! Saying that loved The Warriors ps2 Scarface ps2 GTA San Andrea’s ps2 Final fantasy x ps2 Bully ps2 Just to name a few and that just on ps2
Some great games there. Metroid dread is a great game! Gravity zero is on my list to pick up, supposedly a megaman type game. Currently playing another pix n love game called Baldo which is a zelda style game. The switch is epic for collecting, so many types of games and so many great games at different price points, considering selling all the overhyped 360 stuff i have to collect more switch.
@@retrosmashtv it's exactly that, console to suit all needs. I'm on holiday at moment, Nintendo switch in a case with 20 or so cartridges and I'm good for the evenings once kids have gone to bed. Hardest thing about collecting for it is finding the time to play the games 😂
@@alexhanson7623 yeah man, reason I’m selling up is my kids are on the other TVs with the systems set up I just play the switch using the screen it comes with and the controller
@@retrosmashtv I've got a portable monitor and 8bitdo controller for the switch when main TV is being used. Works a treat! Switch plugs straight into it without the dock. Been looking into nitro decks and other joycons recently too. Some great 3rd party options out there
@@guybran6605 ha ha I need to have a count up I don’t think I’m far off a total of 100 hopefully next video they will be on display I actually traded in games on other consoles I can get on switch
Here's a tip. Once you hit £1000 of sales on vinted, your required to give them your identification (passport or driving licence) to withdraw funds to your bank. They don't accept any other forms of identification either. Also be aware that once you give them your identification, they pass that information onto HMRC as the tax man will then take a cut. Just something to be aware of as I'm starting a new vinted page as in my opinion, the taxman has already had his cuts on my money and the items.
@retrosmashtv exactly that. When a game is bought new, tax is applied. When your earn money working, it's taxed. Even game purchases second hand at say cex, tax is applied. Heck, even the fuel used to drive to wherever you pick items up from is taxed. Then obviously the vehicle has to have tax. There seems to be no way to get ahead in life while trying to make some extra cash on the side when Mr taxman wants yet another slice. Best loophole I found is to just open a new vinted page when you hit the 1k threshold. Same goes for ebay too as after you make a grand, they inform hmrc. So just proceed with caution when nearing that 1k on vinted as you won't be able to withdraw anything without providing ID. I have £2.49 in my vinted but can't even withdraw that, hence the new page I'm starting.
I haven't been taxed and I have sold nearly 4k on vinted in the past year. They keep sending me notifications about it saying I won't be taxed bla bla bla @@AnotherNormalYorkshireman
@@clizzle19 I'd be weary about that, especially when the new tax year starts April 1st next year. For more information regarding this, I'd look into hmrc updates from what what the previous prime minister mentioned earlier this year. He stated 1k max earnings before taxation on people making money through side earners. Honestly, you may want to look into it to at least avoid a tax due bill that you might not have expected.
Nice one Chris just back from CEX myself with Shin Megami Tensei V for £18 I really have to stop buying RPGs or games in general for my Switch 25 games bought in just 20days 😂🤦

Hope you’ve been well mate

Just had 4 more arrive. Absolute bangers too. This is such a great console to collect for. Bit pricey but takes up less space. And suits my needs

@@alexhanson7623 I’m aiming this weekend to be able to make £63 in voucher for the snes controller. I have the Sega and N64 controllers.
If you like modern retro I massively recommend infernax on switch.
That’s on my list of games to get actually mate. Thanks for the rico 👊🏻
Just picked up 3 more switch games this week alone
Arms
Triangle strategy
Sonic mania 🎉
Switch is the way to go
100% hope you get some inspiration from the pickups I’ll be getting over the months
@retrosmashtv I'm actually trying to beat you to the 100, my current goal but steering clear of games I cam get on other platforms I.e sonic etc
@@guybran6605 ha ha I need to have a count up I don’t think I’m far off a total of 100 hopefully next video they will be on display

Exactly mate. It’s not an infinite amount of tax on a product surely. It’s had all the taxes in the world.

You’re on a mission mate 😂 hope the move goes well mate.
@@retrosmashtv Cheers mate appreciated yea I’ve made myself a huge backlog 🤣🤣🤦
Only bought two things on Vinted and both ended up either being a scam or the seller just ignoring the purchase 😂 so Vinted I am not a fan off
I can assure you that’s not me. You can check the reviews and subscribers have bought from me
