      and luck........... you buy a $30 game for $15 you have not made anything tell you sold it.
      if you don't sell it................your out $15
      resellers are the ones taking all the chances.

    Hi Caleb I know I have seen you come to Greenwood Indiana (near where I live) on your sourcing trips in the past in videos and I just wanted to let you know that the Cash America pawns in Greenwood are no longer carrying video games or dvds. The owner told me when I was in there the other day they are transitioning to just tools, guns, instruments and electronics, no more media of any kind because it takes too much space and time and sells slower so they arent taking any more in and once the small handful of consoles they have left are gone they're done.

  • @Thesakuraharona
    @Thesakuraharona ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You know, I am not a reseller but this definitely is showing me I should not be so picky about where I get my used games (or start buying 2nd hand consoles) because these seem to be decent deals for a collector/gamer!
    Any advice on signs that a game/console might not be functional? I know obvious scratches, discoloration, and warping on discs is usually a sign to be wary. I am less confident with 2nd hand consoles (I usually only buy new)

    • @seraphinduvolzairo5938
      @seraphinduvolzairo5938 ปีที่แล้ว

      Always test the console before buying. Test if it outputs video, reads discs / cartridges, connects online, isn't super noisy or making weird noises (indicates that it's probably full of dust inside or that the thermal paste dried. This is fixable but it might indicate further problems to come, like YLOD or RROD), test all inputs (buttons triggers joysticks) of included controllers, check for drifting and battery capacity. Do the same for portable consoles. Testing all that shouldn't be a problem with local listings, if the seller is honest. Shouldn't take more than like 15 minutes also. As for online listings, only buy from a marketplace that will reimburse you if the seller scams you (eBay). Do all that and you should be fine.

    • @seraphinduvolzairo5938
      @seraphinduvolzairo5938 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also make sure that the console isn't banned from online services. Sometimes the console itself is, not the accounts, so you wouldn't be able to play online at all once you own it. Ask to see the owner's online account connect, or connect a burner one so that you're not screwed if it gets banned for being on the console.

    I’ve gotten a few steals on electronics at a pawn shop by me. You gotta really know what you’re looking for, sort of like the DVDs, but there’s some serious profit to be made at these pawn shops.
    They don’t really make money from the items, they make their money from loaning money.

    3:18 the differences I see on the $189 (front) are that the direction pad buttons are different shapes compared to the $199 one(back). Also, the plus and minus buttons look like small squares on the front one. And on the front one as well, the a b x y buttons look bigger. So im guessing the one in the back is an official switch.

    sometimes pawn shops asking 15 for games that are worth 2 dollars can be a good thing.
    for anyone bringing in games to sell to them anyway. if they are paying 5 dollars a game....you are buying them for 2 or 1.......
    bring them 40 games and triple up. i used to do that to this place called steelcity video. they paid 15 dollars for ps2 games.
    ebgames had some ps2 games for 3 or 4 dollars at that time. let me tell you...steelcity video had 20 copies of ONI real quick.
