    Scruffy, thanks for the tips man. My family and I came up from Okinawa for Christmas and just scored a few Famicoms from World Mobile

    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!

      @@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!

    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.

    @Jungletraveler00_12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

      15000 to 20000 yen usually but it all depends on the place you find it. So it's hard to say

    @christopherrosales6201 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

    • @ScruffyLookinRGB
      @ScruffyLookinRGB  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
