Those fellow Italians at the beginning are so loud and foul mouthed I almost shed a patriotic tear 🥲🇮🇹
Is that what language that was? Almost afraid to ask what they said 🙉
@@ScruffyLookinRGB They were just talking about console prices, flavored with a bunch of "cazzo" and "porca troia", in a classic Italian fashion.
That's because it's our duty to always be recognizable when we travel.
And you're lucky there were no girls around!
Prices might have gone up but I'm hopeful when I see that first place!
I'm going to dig in the junk section at the Hard off's in the Nagoya suburbs in the coming days. Should be some great deals out there still.
Fingers crossed! Glad to hear you are back. May the retro game gods shine luck on you 😉
@@ScruffyLookinRGB Haha thanks man! I still remember how you found that Do-Re-Mi Fantasy cart. That was crazy :D
What a relaxing video to start the day with.
19:55 the perfect background music 🤣
Im glad you agree with me😄
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. Thanks so much for making this, will use as a guide when I finally head out
Sad to see how prices have increased though, still conversion rate rn eases the pain somewhat
Glad it was helpful! Let me know what you unearth 😁
Surprised you don’t have more followers / views. A lot of the game hunt videos with mad views are from people who seem to have just a superficial interest in games sadly. Great channel, keep it up!
Thanks that is very kind of you to say. Glad you enjoy the content🙏🏿 By all means please share the videos with others who may enjoy it really helps out the channel
I wish we had junk stuff like this in the States. Collectors in Japan are getting some great deals! Good stuff as always Scruffy. :)
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 🙏🏿
We do have this in the United States. All over the place. Look up estarland
Thanks for Game Junk tour in Akihabara! Nintendo DS prices looked nice!
No worries! Glad to hear it
Isn't that the old Gamers location? Remember getting a GameBoy Light on the 4th floor a while back. Good to know it's still a dope place to go to!
Im not sure but world mobile has been in that building since about 2 years ago
It's interesting how the cost and quality of stuff vary from place to place. I like how the mobile store lets you test stuff.
Realy cool of them. It's not so often you get to test out junk before you buy it.
Great content like always! Can't wait to see you work on another retro console.
Thank you sir. Hope to have a new refurb episode out Very soon!
Wow, some amazing bargains even those yellowed systems would be awesome to pickup.
Great video as always.
Thanks 👍yellowed consoles are welcome as long as there is a deal for it✌️
I just went to these stores and thank you for this video I got a great haul!!!
Glad to hear it. What did you find?
@@ScruffyLookinRGB at the first store I found two switch lights for 11000 yen a GameCube with GBA adapter for 4400 yen a sega Dreamcast for 1180 yen and finally a PS Vita 2000 forgot the price but the second store I got a N64, PS3 (backwards compatible) and a few PSPS
I found world mobile by accident and bought a GBA SP for 6600 yen. Only minor scratches and the light adjustment button didn't work, but works perfectly fine otherwise! Good place to find cheap gaming consoles, of course they are not 100% but they most likely work.
that is a pretty good deal for this day and age. congrats.
Thanks for the video! Is all this junk still working or not?
There is a good chance it is working but you dont know until you get it home.
Cool stuff for being junk..wish i could have some junk shop like these nearby eheh
Maybe one day!
Nice, do you know average prices for a basic pc engine + controller please ?
15000 to 20000 yen usually but it all depends on the place you find it. So it's hard to say
Thanks! that mobile store is one I want to visit.
Appreciate it, Dan B🙏🏿 Highly suggest it👍🏼great spot for junk 😉
Is there a video I can check out as a sort of guide on how to sort through this stuff/which things to purchase. I would love to get a gameboy or psvita, but I’m not very much of a refurbisher.
From what I understand they’re labeled as “junk” but that doesn’t mean it’s unable to be used?
That first store seemed like it sells workable things!
Usually thinks in the junk actually work. id say 90 percent of the time. If you take the time to clean them up and like to tinker with soldiering and cleaning up connections it gets things running quite nicely. That is a good idea for a future video thanks.
all of those junk nintendo switches would be coming home with me lol 😄
Grab em while they are hot 🔥
Scruffy, that PS3 was the lunch edition that backwards compatible. Great price in my opinion.
Nice catch 👌 I'll have to pick one up sometime.
Oh wau nice video! Can share the twitter group you talking about?
Thanks for the kind words. Be my guest.
Crazy how much the prices have gone up on the Surigaya. Just to be a tad cheaper 😢
Tell me about it. atleast it's a little bit cheaper than the US still
Word Mobile 4th floor is no longer junk stuff. There was a guy repairing something and there is now a repair counter? I was there yesterday.
Really, that's to bad. It's gotten quite barren in there lately but did think they would git rid of it.
If I really dig, is there any chance of finding 3DSs in good condition (not perfect of course) under ¥6000?
Anything is possible if you keep searching.
Been a while since you've done a gba video so that could be a good idea if you're in need of ideas.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏼
In the first store at 5:52 behind the cases do they gaurenteed work?
Probably. They also let you test them out before purchase.
@@ScruffyLookinRGB got it thank you
Can you test hardware at Surabaya too?
There may be some you can but I don't think I've ever been to one like that before.
Didnt pick up anything of this hunt?
Unfortunately, not this time.
Are you Friend?
ともだちです🦸♂️
I would love to send you money to pick some stuff up for me
I try to help when i can dm me if you need something 👍🏼
