He wont make his money back regardless. Now he has to sell 100+ video games, which in all likely hood would take around 1-2 years so he can make a cool $50 profit maybe? Even staffing costs to ring up the sales will set him back. The reason he bought the box tho is for the youtube content. He WILL profit because of this youtube video. Without the video tho, there would be no point to buying a mystery box ever. Every seller other than garage sale and small thrift store finds is selling for profit. So a mystery box will NEVER be profitable to buy for resale. Even the min value ones.
I agree I recently bought one. All the ones they auctioned off had at least 5 plus games. Cool right. Nope I did the buy now for 50 since all the other boxes where around 30. Should have bid on a lower box because I got 1 nes game for 50 plus taxes and shipping so like 64 for a $10 game lol. I guess you need to really read the ultra fine print on whatnot lol
@@davidfulmer5840 well you gotta keep in mind they’re only doing mystery boxes to make money so they’re either only giving some people profit or they’re a scam and giving out nothing using the mystery box as a cover lmao
The only time they aren't scams is when they're just cheap and say there are x amount of games, comics, cards, etc inside. Like a $10 mystery box gets you 50 comics or 5 NES games. At that point the margin per item is so low it doesn't really matter if it's all junk.
Just in case you were wondering, they make an adapter for your Nintendo play choice so that you can connect a Nintendo cartridge to it so that you can basically have additional games inside the cabinet.
So funny! It was just a few months ago at work, we were talking about old stuff that just disappeared that we thought was great as kids, POGs included. I read some history about it and was bummed out that it wasnt around anymore. And look at that! Fun times!
Pogs are not coming back I remember watching a video not long ago and they found an abandon place out of country that used to make pogs, but it was just left abandoned and the floor was litter with tons of pogs no one thought to grab them just eerie seeing a fun game back in the day!
Fun fact: In europe (Atleast The Netherlands, belgium, france) we never had "pogs" but instead we got the same kind of thingies called "Flippo's" that where mostly themed around the looney tunes. They where distributed inside bags of "Smiths" chips from the mid to late 90s. There is barely any value in them besides nostalgic value ofcours. I come across binders & bins of lose flippo's weekly during my job & have a F ton of them myself sooo...there is a chance that some kind of package will be send to the store as a little gift for...beeing you? Beeing your authantic self & because we geeks need to support each other!😁 don't know when BUT it will come haha. Lots of love xxx Melvin from the Netherlands.
I've tallied what he had in value up to the point he got to the Switch. I've Pricecharted all the loose prices for the games I could see, and he's at $626 in value alone before the Switch comes out. And that's 11 games unaccounted for that I couldn't tell what they were. The value's there, he's just selling everything short. He made money on this box.
Theres something kind of comforting when TH-camrs get smoked on deals like us normies lol y'all get those insider discounts, it's time you feel our pain!
I had the pog maker and still do somewhere. That thing was sick being able to make your own pogs. Also have the not so rare SpaceJam VHS with Slammer and the Michael Jordan Sealed POG set lol. BIG POG guy
You'd have been closer if you hadn't valued the super mario rpg stack at $50. I couldn't see the other 2 games, but Rpg and Mario world are easily $75 because a retail store isn't taking much off of rpg for that label. Got $100 in battletoads.
Pogs where awesome, I remember my friend had a pog maker and we made pogs out of a Playboy magazine, we threw all the pogs on our buddies porch, then waited/watched for his mom to come home to see her reaction when she picked them up…Priceless… the good ol days…. That hat is bada$$ btw!!!
Maaaan, I remember having this super sick POG holder from the 90s. It was the Apollo 13 rocket that came from Hardee's, I think? It was a promotional from around the same time as the movie. Wish I still had that thing...
Fun fact, Gamestop does train their employees on fake games and gives them told to check. The employee's that take those fake games in don't care or are too "busy" to check.
I only know what to look for, as i had pokemon gold as a kid at release. I had POG's, and Tazo's as a kid, god i miss the 90's, they were so good, but really hard to get!
Lets be honest if you walk in the store you're not getting all those games for $200 when he got to that mark, your walking away with about 8 max haha 🤣

Just ordered my POG hobby box. 📦 I used the link 🔗 will I receive the hat ? lol
lol you went from 400 back down to 300 a few minutes into the mystery box at 10:43 you reset from 400+ to 300 so you had about 1000 in value
That's what I came to comment too!! Lol smh
@@tessa.robles.84I thought I heard that too 😂 he went from like $410 back down to $330 or something like that
I noticed that right away !

I think you undervalued a bit
Hey Kings Bounty is like a $40 game CIB :D
Happy 😊 Ricky’s or riff or Gabbo or Ben or Chris or Curtis ❤️♥️👍 Pixel games squad happy 😃 xxx
The math ain’t mathin
$850 is pretty good for Pawnshop counting... @ $2 - $3 a game.. 🎮 😂😂
In my experience mystery boxes are usually a scam. It's stuff they can't get rid of so they box it up and move it onto the next person.
I agree I recently bought one. All the ones they auctioned off had at least 5 plus games. Cool right. Nope I did the buy now for 50 since all the other boxes where around 30.

Have you seen mystic Ryan mystery box? Dude has received some gems. It’s all the luck of the draw
@@Piranha5150I have not but does he buy them anonymously, or do the sellers know they are sending to a TH-camr?
I played in the 1995 POG World Championship and even got a official POG made with my picture on it. I've been waiting for this moment my entire life.
that sounds depressing
Good luck, bro. Please reply later if you win the whole thing!
Dropped some of the money at one (400 something to 340) so I think it works out pretty close
Imagine finding a Stadium Events in that box 😂
Side note: Rick, I reckon the you undervalued a lot of those games dude
Do you remember Pogs? They're back in Pog form.
Retro Rick using price charting to value the mystery box.
Retro Rick selling those games at double the price.
Just in case you were wondering, they make an adapter for your Nintendo play choice so that you can connect a Nintendo cartridge to it so that you can basically have additional games inside the cabinet.
I’d like to see a follow up on the PriceCharting breakdown of this mystery box. Genuinely curious what it all adds up to
hahahahah you live and you learn...then the Jim Carrey insert got me. Well done lol
So funny! It was just a few months ago at work, we were talking about old stuff that just disappeared that we thought was great as kids, POGs included. I read some history about it and was bummed out that it wasnt around anymore. And look at that! Fun times!
Mystery boxes always scary to buy
Lmfao Whatnot sellers educated everyone to not buy $1000 mystery boxes or any..
Kings bounty is great! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 And CIB is over $50
Pogs are not coming back I remember watching a video not long ago and they found an abandon place out of country that used to make pogs, but it was just left abandoned and the floor was litter with tons of pogs no one thought to grab them just eerie seeing a fun game back in the day!

Still better than John Riggs $1k boxes 🤣
John rigs is a STRAIGHT scammer
Rick you sound like Millhouse when he said to Bart you remember alf he came back in pog form 😂
I was waiting for that clip to play
bro you got caughtup in the excitement. It happens to everyone. it could have been SO MUCH WORSE! don't beat yourself up over it.
I wonder how many dumpsters will be filled with pogs..thanks Nekrogoblikon
I've tallied what he had in value up to the point he got to the Switch. I've Pricecharted all the loose prices for the games I could see, and he's at $626 in value alone before the Switch comes out. And that's 11 games unaccounted for that I couldn't tell what they were. The value's there, he's just selling everything short. He made money on this box.
The "mind blown" clip got me! I was actually laughing out loud. Yes, Im simple.
3:39 the customers in background are regulars they never turned around......there used to Rick's random out bursts of excitement 😂 😅
you got your money back
In the Netherlands, pogs were called flippos and you got them with a bag of Lays chips or what they were called back then Smith's
There was actually £1000 worth in there as his counting was off half way thru.. not the best stuff but the value is there and it's good inventory
4 loose Battletoads is $100 alone...rick MASSIVELY undervalued those games
Fire that dude
That whatnot was crazy! I was there! It was actually 2 second starts. I tried to bid on Magical Chase but I wasn’t ready 😅
I played POGs so much in school you got my nostalgia going big time. I had to drop an order. 😅🎉❤
@retrorick
I got a box. Can't wait for the hat! Hope I get a gold coin with just 1 box bought hopefully 🙏
I would love for someone to take a pic of the games.
Are the "10 20 30" prices correct? DO they sell those games for 10 dollars in store?
Pogs are the best.have series 2 and series 3 sealed boxes.👌
I remember how much of a craze Passion Orange Guava was in the 90s.
Theres something kind of comforting when TH-camrs get smoked on deals like us normies lol y'all get those insider discounts, it's time you feel our pain!
I need more retro rick content!
Rick! what is the biggest item you passed on buying and regret the most passing up on?
I had the pog maker and still do somewhere. That thing was sick being able to make your own pogs. Also have the not so rare SpaceJam VHS with Slammer and the Michael Jordan Sealed POG set lol. BIG POG guy
You'd have been closer if you hadn't valued the super mario rpg stack at $50. I couldn't see the other 2 games, but Rpg and Mario world are easily $75 because a retail store isn't taking much off of rpg for that label. Got $100 in battletoads.
take the risk, reap the rewards. sometimes...(nice lunch box collection!)
Haha loved the editing so much on this one))
$825 is wild....I saw almost $1,300
Where do you go to place a shipping order?
9:18 - Bartletoads! 😊
Love this channel
120$ for pogs? Lol why
I didn’t even really get pogs back when they were popular. 😅
I’m sure this is going to hit other people right in the feels though.
Those estimates for the games were...well they sure were prices I WISH they were so I can add some of them to my collection.
You forget that their packaging talent is valued at $125! yay! non-resell-invisible-packaging-talent! yay!
Pogs where awesome, I remember my friend had a pog maker and we made pogs out of a Playboy magazine, we threw all the pogs on our buddies porch, then waited/watched for his mom to come home to see her reaction when she picked them up…Priceless… the good ol days…. That hat is bada$$ btw!!!
This is the way
Will pogs be provided for tourney?
“He’s not an idiot he plays video games” LOL
I have about 110 NES games that price chart for around $1,600. Heck I would have sold them to him for his store for 900 shipped. 😂 Jeeze
I remember I had a Pog Milkcap maker so I could make my own custom Pogs back in the day.
Pogs, good times, i think i still got some mortal kombat Pogs somewhere
Maaaan, I remember having this super sick POG holder from the 90s. It was the Apollo 13 rocket that came from Hardee's, I think? It was a promotional from around the same time as the movie. Wish I still had that thing...
Fun fact, Gamestop does train their employees on fake games and gives them told to check. The employee's that take those fake games in don't care or are too "busy" to check.
that jim carey clip won me over lmao
was actually $925. at like 10:40 ou said $400 then when pulling the switch went back $100 to 300. so $75 loss isnt so bad on a blind buy
I still have my POGs...tempted to get a box and waste more money on stuff I don't need. :)
At 2:54 & 2:55 What Happened to the dude walking behind Rick!?
Battle Toads is an awesome game.
So sorry Rick on that mystery box. Not packed very well either. Could have been a flood of good stuff. Next time
feels like a setup with the gold Pog😂
You counted wrong and (in my opinion) undervalued a few things. I think you're at value easily
come on… pogs? 😂
I only know what to look for, as i had pokemon gold as a kid at release. I had POG's, and Tazo's as a kid, god i miss the 90's, they were so good, but really hard to get!
that whole box looked like nothing but commons
‘’Emotional damage’’ lol😅😅☠️
Hey man, I'll take a spare Battletoads if you're wanting to let one of those go! 😂 I love that label!
Y'all know you can make your own Pogs at home. It's just a circular cutter blade on cardboard. I literally did it as a kid.
$850 is pretty good for Pawnshop counting...
@ $2 - $3 a game.. 🎮😂😂
The only mystery about mystery boxes is how much money you will lose
If it was worth it, it wouldn't be a sudden death auction.
Let's go pogs
Luckily, it was just for fun.
I'm waiting on my N64 to arrive and POGS would be perfect to start my room
A while back you talked about giveaways to pre-order ticket holders. Any news on that?
I just wanted to know what games Rick saw and got him to bid the mystery box up even, since he didn't seem excited about any of it
The joys of whatnot. I think we’ve all been burnt on there
Is there any way to buy a Retro shirt online?
Love the content 👍🏼😎
And them pogs are so nostalgic
F in the Chat boys. pay respect.
Gotta worry if some of those Battletoads don’t work with all the duplicates.
Way more than $1k worth of games in there haha.
Damm your new employee is oblivious
I haven't seen a pog since 1942.. Get these kids off my darn lawn!!!!
So how much was the total after you looked up the prices. I think you got your money back
"These are from pogs unlimited and these are extremely limited" 😅 Good company name then 🤔
$1000 for a big box of games? you could of bought a ps5 pro for that
Win lose or draw it’s at least shelf filler 😊
Lets be honest if you walk in the store you're not getting all those games for $200 when he got to that mark, your walking away with about 8 max haha 🤣
I’m sure this vid will make up the difference
I played in a pog tournament outside of the 7-11 down the street from my house. I think I got 2nd place, I used to be decent at it
HOOOOOVER!!!!!! Legend
you guys goitta get on the rubiks craze
