- The Pokemon Pursuit is back! In the last episode of Pokemon Pursuit, we made a bunch of money so now it is time to buy some more stuff for our dream Pokemon Collection. The first stop on our Journey is a game store where we hope to increase our Pokemon Pursuit funds even more! What we thought was a great success quickly turned against us. Watch to find out why! Will there be redemption?

The fact that people care what you’re doing with an item after you buy it, especially after paying full asking price and not negotiating, is beyond me.
Vincent spotted in the wild!!!
Stupid policy
Strangest part about the old manager's policy against resellers is that they were technically a reseller themselves 🤔
God ole catch 22
He hoo buys can also sell !!!🤯 jealousy comes from all kinds of people including shop-owners and resellers respect
That’s the first thing I thought “rules for thee but not for me”
yeah and pretend like they are better then others
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice Just send another guy to buy it. 😂
As a business owner, I don't care if you make a million dollars off something I sold. I priced it and was happy at the time of your purchase... My response to the question if im a reseller is always " Do you not like money?"
As long as you are paying their asking price and not trying to lowball them then they have no reason to even ask that question.
Same, watching these guys rummage through Goodwills for Xbox 360 games gives me anxiety. I can't imagine that being an income I depend on
@@skyman6936 better than sucking up to a boss
I think both policies (former and present) are hypocritical. Virtually all used video game stores are resellers (buying for less than market value and selling it for more than was paid).
i will told him that, and tell him to fk himself
Competition.
Games are already up charged too much. So yeah it may not help in the long run, but I completely understand their policy. It's nice to keep prices reasonable.
Still not a fan of the policy. Imagine someone with a bit of spare cash starting his ps1 collection. Comes in And basicaly cleans their ps1 rare section, they suspect he's reselling and deny him the sale. Price is on the sticker, you pay it and done imo.
100% if he pays wot them asking then he doesn’t need to answer too them !!!!!
I love the fact that your a passionate collector as well as a reseller. Great channel great video happy hunting!
Your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you for all the great content! Always an instant watch on the new upload.
Great video! I'm so happy that you went back and had a great interaction with the store manager.
Right off the bat! Video editing is perfection! Love the animation, everything.
Shoutout to brother Dave helping out while sky guy is on break . Definitely a passion project here
Pawn shop guy is always legit. He’s selling, you’re buying.
I’m glad you went back and asked for clarification, that would have ruined my day you shopping at that store countless times, spending so much money and doing business with them
I like how Chase recorded the disc traders manager conversation like it was an undercover FBI sting lol
for content
Just started watching your channel recently. Instantly recognized the store from the thumb nail as i used to shop there as a kid and remember when the store opened. Its a small world.
I'm just happy that brother Dave is back!
Got to love the Pikachu drill on the shelf 😂❤️
I have that drill 😅
Those card holders are incredibly sweet and the fact that could be mounted or shelf displayed gives lots of options!
I’m glad you sorted out a resolution in the end 🎉
Love this!! Most people would be very upset and you handled it wonderfully :) God bless!!! Thanks for the great content glad I just subscribed!!
A bigger version of those slab mounts would be awesome for slabbed comics. Something to keep in mind!
Good idea!
I was gonna say the same thing!
Very nice addition to the PokeCollection!! Love to see the old Shining cards. Still very happy with my Shining Charizard (which i hope to get graded some day).
Those slab mounts are beautiful! I would be very interested in purchasing some when they are available!
Chase another banger. This is my favourite series on TH-cam. Next being hobby Ron’s saga haha.
Your content is always so genuine and Informative. You come across as a super nice guy in all your videos man. Looking forward to the next what not event.
Thank you! I really appreciate that
same thing happened to me at a Pawn shop. I spent almost 150k there over 2 years and one day they just said no more.
Something happened to me like this at a game store in Maine
I don’t really care about or follow any of the stuff your channel goes after but I find myself watching every video. So congrats on putting out that good of content. Best of luck to you. You’re doing great work
Well thank you ! I really appreciate that you watch
That’s awesome that you got the gold star and the shining cards I’m actually the original owner and the person that graded those 3 psa slabs. Cool to see that they get to go from me and end up into your collection.
For real!? That’s insane. Well they will be proudly displayed for a long time 🤙
Yes, I still have some others if you get more money in your poke bank lol and are interested let me know on Instagram.
Need slab mounts like that, but for graded comics
With the Pokémon packs, it's not just fakes you have to look out for, it's often resealed packs, which can be tricky as the pack itself will look fine, it's only when you open them that you see the residue and glue if they are done well. There is a lot of scummy people out there unfortunately.
I agree with the guy, I wouldn’t sell to a reseller either, resellers destroyed the retro market
That employee of Disc Traders clearly doesn't understand the definition of business...
To be successful in business is not just making a profit, it's to satisfy customers to where they want to come back.
Right, especially if that customer has spent $50k in total at your store 😆.
I’m sorry that bad experience happened to you at disc traders. That is good that they somewhat made it right. It’s a little odd that they would have special rules against other retailers. If I saw you coming into a store I owned wanting to give me money for my items, I would roll out the red carpet for you. You’re the best kind of customer. That’s good the man at the pawn shop sees that and appreciates you. He seems like a cool guy.
I'd never spend a dime in there ever again! A reseller not wanting to sell to another reseller
You shouldn’t stop at just the gold stars even though they are the most expensive. You should go for all the shiny ones from each generation, call of legends the black and white gold ones
Interesting Policy, I used to have a retail store, and to me a sale was a sale as both parties are happy with the deal. Anyway although I don’t collect Pokémon or games, I do love your collection and the new little black display units. Keep Sellin.
Awesome! Thank you . I’m excited about getting things displayed well
a pawn shop with a dog is a winner to me, awe!
Did you guys miss that Pokémon wooden door!?!?
11:01 , in video, you were looking at a camera in a case , Chase you were looking at the camera but missed what was behind the case to the side. A door or cut out with Pokémon in big letters. Might be too late now I just recently started watching
Awesome Chase!
Game stores are literally resellers lmao
The dewalt drills match perfectly with pikachu 😂
I THINK I DISLOCATED MY FINGER "OUCH" I SEEN YOUR CHANNEL POP UP AND BAM BROKE MY SCREEN!!!!! DAMN IT!!! BUT I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
good thing youre cool with the managers at 2nd chance in portage :)
Imagine all the sales they don't make because of that rule, it makes no sense I assume the manager isn't the business owner (and if they are good luck!)
Your pawnbroker is the best dude, i wish he was in my town
In the words of the late Robert Palmer ‘ ur guna have to face it ur addicted to Pokémon !’
I could watch a whole video on old mate from the pawn shop 🙏
I see this in two ways, one that the business owners don't want people to make money off them.. This usually allows them to not have to worry about price adjusting all the time as you said prices change so often up and down. The economics way and business sense is they aren't getting as many trade-ins as they used to, trade-ins is how these businesses function. If Mom/Dad buys a game for Junior at a game store that means in future that game will likely be traded back into that store.. if a Reseller buys it that game likely won't be back on their shelves for them to keep profiting off of. In reality they're a business, if you refuse sales then you're only shooting yourself in the foot.
I get the logic... At the end of the day resellers do actually drive pricing of products up artifically by buying and selling stuff for the most they can. At the end of the day it is a business but I think the idea not selling to resellers too because you actaully like selling product to people who aren't actually looking to use it does seem bad. I think some people see resllers like scalpers is the only issue.
Me checking out chase's power tools :)
What I don’t understand is if you spent that much time in that much money at that place and they’re just now asking you if you’re a reseller? What’s up with that? Why didn’t they ask you if you were a reseller before?
I haven’t been as much lately. They’ve been in business for quite a while now. Managers have changed and things have changed since they opened. The current manager was very nice when we went back in!
Hats off to Matt the engineer 👏 ❤
Legend. Good friend. Kind heart. Good soul. Genius.
That Mew Gold Star even in a 6 is worth a mint. I'm seeing Damaged ones sell for $200+
I remember when those Atari and Intellivision’s were $20 and not moving. I still have a few of them around.
i am so sorry they did that to you, you looked so heartbroken when one of your Fav shops wouldn't sell to you. Good on you for telling the truth but that still sucks.
I keep missing you at eStarland. I was just there on Wednesday.
Matt needs to make one touch and toploader holders like that!
I've been to that store in Battle Creek many times and I'll never go back now
...Great editing as usual.
Thanks! Shoutout to brother Dave filling in while sky guy is gone
I understand how they dont want resellers, selling their stuff. but if they are selling their stuff for a flat price knowing that some of their stuff could have more value. Then they shouldn't be upset at someone coming in and buying their stuff to flip. They're still getting a sale for the prices they are wanting. So turning people away like that will sadly only hurt them more than help.
That pawn shop I would have a field day with the xbox 360 games since im looking to buy every game
Frankie is a beauty. And looks like the comic book guy from the Simpsons to boot!
I love watching this Pokémon pursuit quest, such a cool journey 🤩❤Love guide books as well. What the hell bro?? Why can't you buy to re-sell?? So you buy stuff from a store, and they decide for you what you can and can't do with your bought stuff?! That is just stupid. Specially since you are such a good customer. What a sh*t store, I would never buy again in that store!! insane!
Finally Brother Dave has returned....
Good on the shop, good on you for telling the truth.
Wild, resellers are probably keeping that store open
I’ve seen rules like these before which makes zero sense based off of the fact that we are paying the same price as someone who would be buying it for a personal reason
Awesome video guys
Thanks Brian! As always, we really appreciate you
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice yea man was good
Woow I've been watching you and never knew you were from battle creek lol hope to run in to you
I've got about 2,500 Pokémon cards ranging from 1st generation till now if you'd be interested. They aren't mint edition but I have tried to keep most of them in the best condition I could.
Patent that slab holder! I’ve never seen that and it’s genius! Don’t let anybody steal that if it doesn’t already exist!!
I’d be interested in that Sony camera if you ever go back!
take it from me as a pro photographer. B and H photo for used and new camera gear. great stuff and huge inventory
I have a question I bought a n64 expansion pak but there was a jumper pak in the box does the jumper pak come in a expansion pak box???? Please help
You mentioned a resurfacing machine but I don't see it in your supplies, can you share which machine you use?
The rule is ridiculous. They need to sell stock at the prices stated, you want to buy at those prices. It doesn't matter if you are a reseller or not, a sale is a sale. If they feel you are making too much profit they should price their games higher.
My home store won't accommodate resellers if they're not regular customers. I sell in my local area and some of my inventory comes from them, they have no problem selling to me because I'm in there once a week. Gotta make connections
A shop is only as good as the manager and staff run it. Happy gaming
That is my favorite game store to go to
if the heart behind it is so that the shelves aren't wiped clean when the average Joe/Sally comes to buy the game that they want for nostalgia's sake then yes, the policy makes sense. There should be a limit on the volume of items for one person.
I don’t understand how a store can refuse a sale for goods with a marked price ??? Makes no sense especially when you have spent so much over the years at this store what an idiot of a manager stupid policy and if it was me wouldn’t give them business again
The irony of the resell is they are reselling, but you can't resell to the reseller that will resell? Talk about pot calling the kettle black on that one. I hate when a business gets political, there is zero reason not to sell to a reseller, you both win from the transaction. A business should only care about their bottom line not force an opinion or care about what happens to items that leave the store.
Great video
Here in Quebec Canada it's the same thing, if you intend to resell what you buy,so video game shops and collectors learn this, you will be destroyed on social networks as if you were the devil, the mentality here is not open at all to resale!
Yet resale is exactly what said shops do, it's a ridiculous policy.
Tell your video game stores that they can also list all their items on eBay and Amazon for full market value and have the co-ordination to ensure that they don't accidently sell in store, something that it's still listed on eBay or Amazon and vice versa to squeeze out an extra 10 - 20% after fees. It's ridiculous, especially when some of these tenured store owners already have established sources of inventory and could benefit from consistent buyers too.
Damn this was a low blow, I cant seem to find those games like crash bandicoot in the wild, at my game shops near me, it hurts, I just want them to throw on the shelf for the game room, and here you found 2 outta the ps1 classics, sheew dope finds
Imagine a pawn shop bathroom.. Even more dirtier and filthy than the business itself.
I have a rare mew gold star too. Not graded
Nice! It’s such a cool card
I find it hilarious that they won’t sell to a reseller, when they themselves are resellers just in a brick and mortar store. Pretty ironic.
As if your money isn't green. The price is the price. So what is the difference???
if u price something and put it on a shelf then its fair game! that's wild!
Well said!
I got kicked out of a local vintage star wars collectors group for being a "reseller". I'm a huge Kenner star wars collector myself and shortly after removing me some of the club members started setting up to sell at local toy shows where I set up
When I ran game and dvd reseller stores we would sell to reseller but limit the sales for one good reason. If a reseller buys out all your A titles then yes you made money but when the other 99 percent of customers come in and don’t see a titles they don’t come back. You need the non resellers to get a piece of the action with the A titles as well because they will buy those as well as the B and C titles which are more common and for the reseller the bulk of what people bring in to trade. The reseller isn’t going to buy those titles because of no resell value but the small B and C titles are what keep a brick and mortar in business
nice my like made it 1k, hooray!
They did this to me before. I told you guys on a previous video.
hey chase where is his pawn shop located? I live in Michigan and this place seems kinda of familiar. is it battlecreek? looking into getting into pokemon as well and some of those cards at that pawn shop are pulling me in to get a couple
Either way man the games were for sale and it’s a business. Why would they not want to just make the sale, make the money and move on to more inventory with the newly acquired funds. Especially with those game guides that you bought. I’m sure they say in that local store for months if not a whole year.
Chase you are awesome brotha! Im In Cleveland Ohio! I just started watching your content about a week ago and you rekindled a fame in my heart to flip/resell! Problem is im having trouble getting the ball rolling! Never sold on ebay /whatnot/Amazon..I'm 33... Is it possible to teach a old dog new tricks? Haha,Amy suggestions or any helpful info greatly appreciated,,, much love from the land man
Cleveland? Hit up garage sales this summer and ask for games at every sale. Be kind, pay more when you can, make connections and have fun! You’ll find some good stuff if you put in the work and hit the sales early and often
Which one is much more fun and there's a lot of it out there r? Pokemon, Yugi-oh, or Magic Gathering?
pawn shop dude 100000% cooler then the game store people lol damn
Places around me put signs up no scanning items I resell but I don't scan ever item and don't buy everthing
Where’s the pawn shop location? I randomly have traded sports cards with Frankie out in the wild at sports card shows pretty cool/nice dude
A lot of the disk replays, mega replay, and disk traders are starting to not allow resellers get the deals. Theirs one in Indy thats next to a walmart, I think south west they refuse to give me the promotions but allow me to buy. Overall I think its kinda messed up since they are resellers also
If we're being honest here, the resolution is still bullshit. A reseller is still a customer and it should make no difference what the customers' intentions of doing with the merchandise after they legally own it. If they have coupons or daily deals, then that should apply to all customers. I understand that's not a big deal to most people, but it's more about principle. There's also a legality argument here. Stores can choose to serve or refuse service to anyone they like as long as this decision isn't made in combination with other stores to eliminate competition or in an attempt to create or maintain a monopoly, which is the part that's applicable here. If they don't want people taking 10 of the same thing, then it's on them to either price their items closer to market or leave some meat so they can move more volume at lesser margins.
The real reason they do this is to eliminate competition. Brick and mortar stores like this have a very hard time surviving vs online sellers with significantly less overhead, so they aim to slow down their eventual collapse in any way that they can.
You don’t need to answer their questions, it’s none of their business, you’re a business they are business. Just remember you don’t need give anyone an answer to avoid lying (this is for anyone)
That is shocking. What does it have to do with them after you have purchased. Also it does not matter if they sell it to reseller or a collector they are getting the same money they asked for. Even if it is resolved it still shocking that it happened in the first place
