I just wanna say I don't even play video games anymore but I get so excited when a new video of yours comes out. It's even better now with the on-point editing!! Love the channel keep up the great content!!
I have a pawn shop by me that checks prices before selling and it just seems like a terrible way to do business. Like I don't want to wait for you to handle every other customer just to tell me the price of a game which will probably be too high anyway. Considering what they pay for these games when they get brought in you would think it would be better for everyone to just price it when you put it out and not worry about it or at least do a weekly inventory so the prices are listed on the game.
Yeah I agree, and most of the time they will ask for ebay value or above, and if I wanted to pay eBay prices I'd just buy it off of eBay. I understand trying to stay in business, but sometimes these places just charge too much
@@aidetund6263 I hate hearing anyone cite ebay prices in person, If you are pricing based on ebay you should factor in the shipping and fees and discount that off the price since in the end we all win in that situation.
I remember going to these used stores when I was younger when used games were no more than $20....I could barely get one...can only imagine the kids now a days that want to get used games but can’t because they’re priced almost at resell
The power adapter they were using for that Switch probably wasn't good enough to get it turned on from completely dead. It probably needed the OEM brick.
Yeaaa that's the same thing I was thinking that power brick looked like it wouldn't even have enough power out put to even charge most cell phones these days
Was going to say the same thing. I've used many adapters for the Switch systems, and alot of them don't work. Best to use the original adapter (which it should include anyway!)...
in my experience , the og switch would not charge up on anything that wasnt the official charger. ive tried using reg usb c on different adapters, and at best they keep the battery percentage at the same level while plugged in, no charging done. im guessing thats what happened there, the switch was dead, and not receiving enough power to charge. bet you it works fine
My switch charges fine using my phone charger, because sometimes I'm just not near the dock and I want to charge it so I use my phone charger. Probably depends on the charger
Generally, that's their last "new" copy. Drives me nuts, especially when I order from GS online and receive an opened game. As a result, I no longer buy games from GS that are really cheap or being clearanced out.
In the last week I have found your channel, realized you live the same place I'm from, and vaguely saw my house in a video, then realized you're the reason Game Exchange next to La Taquiza never has anything good anymore. It's a weird feeling lol. Check out La Taquiza though they arguably are the best local Lexington-only restaurant.
Related to the odd Wii sports pricing , my disk replay in iowa has its pricing all over the place , convinced the employees just use their best judgement and throw a price , bough a new 3ds xl for 119 and multiple $25+ games for like under 10
Raising Cane's is a Louisiana based company. I've been to the original location several times. I've recently become a binge watcher. A lot of great content!
I really miss Disc Replay here in Lex. It was a regular stop for me. And then it was just gone one day. I haven't really found anyplace since that had quite the amount of inventory that they had.
Always enjoy your videos ... whilst i was watching this i saw the pokeman games so paused video and rang my nephew ... his mum answered and i casually asked 'did you keep all the pokemon games?' to which they answered 'yes all boxed with booklets'. After i got up from my dead faint i said you may want to get them looked at!!! So ty in advance 💙❤💜
3:22 and he slowly and loudly says I'm using my Amazon sellers app, that is what I use to scan these games. SOMEONE WILL END UP ASKING WHAT HE USES. LOL
Back in the day vintage stock used to be awesome. Circa 2007ish. After a while it fell into the same trap as gamestop and other stores did. It became super corporate. They dropped the buy in prices to nothing. Then started charging primo prices for stuff. What made all of this worse is, when the gaming market exploded. They doubled/ tripled prices on used games.
19:50 They probably do that for copy write reasons. GameStop told me they had break the plastic on some games I traded in because by law they were not allowed to sell them factory sealed.
From my experience with trying to sell new unopened games, some game stores won't accept games that are still wrapped, in the case that they could be "stolen". So they have to be opened first before they can buy them, in that case I guess they would be still considered "new". But how would a buyer know that am I right? I don't like it one bit lol
I never see sealed switch games on Australia, even pre orders that are put straight out the back without storing the cartridge elsewhere. But I've bought a couple of the Asia region exclusives, they always come sealed, and a few UK/EU games have come sealed too.
Vintage Stock is the worst chain out there. You won’t be able to buy many things there that aren’t already at over resale price. Every now and then something slips through, but the only thing you can consistently make profit on if you put the hours in is going through their magic cards. Also they have no return policy for things that don’t work. If you press them enough they will do a return but only for store credit. To get your money back you would have to do a chargeback on them. They are utter trash and should be avoided at all costs. Another thing is they constantly take in counterfeit games so you would have to be very careful in what you buy there that’s cartridge-based.
I recently discovered a new retro game store in my area, kind of flew under my radar, and they are pretty cool. They also specialize in repairs, they were originally just a computer repair store before also selling games, and they have some pretty cool stuff
The switch lite probably worked, but the cable they were using looked like a standard phone charger. I've had my switch take 30 minutes to power on using an official one when it's completely dead.
I love you Aaron but Role back the cut aways. Its not Calebs thing or why we are here. We come to you for that. Your energy is awesome and I appreciate you. xxx
About those brand new Switch games that aren't sealed, is it possible that they put some anti-theft thingy inside the case ? (even if they are already inside those big plastic cases ?)
Arizona has to be the best we have everything on your list we might be one of the only places that has raising cane's, in-n-out, white castle, Freddie's stake burgers and a single stake and shake. Time for Phoenix resale to visit Phoenix AZ
always keep an eye out for the light and dark traps. there are a few imaginator crystals that are worth 50 or so. the ones that came in the expansion sets. usually they slip by pawn shops radar. blackout and sunspot for trap team are also 100 each. i had both in my hand for 7 dollars each at ebgames like 5 years ago. figured i would grab them later. boy the regret i have now. i also see a couple of burn cycles for super chargers. that is the last i need to complete that set. i can never find it in the wild. and that is the only time i will buy them.
We have vintage stocks out here and they are pretty terrible so im glad you agreed. Cartridge games never work. Overpriced disc games. Sign on the door that says we do repairs but then everything i ask about they can't do it. Always having bad experiences there.
This is my hometown! Probably my most visited store in town. If you happen to come back to Evansville, check out Secret Headquarters as well! Not as big selection but still high grade selection and more emphasis on retro gaming. (Also have an arcade)!
I’m pretty sure that the disc replay by me has been found out. For a few years with their DVD area, it was all hidden gem horror movies. They do crazy deals like buy three DVDs for $3.33 and get three for free. I’ve come across some B list horror movies with limited releases were $30-$40 apiece unless they haven’t gotten my chin in a while it seems like they get cleaned out and I’m pretty regular basis now. Like anything else as long as you do your research, there is a lot of money to be made and DVDs.
GameStop does the “NEW” stock without the plastic. I had a whole conversation with the employee on duty. It was a dumb conversation. They do it so the case and art are shown but the game isn’t there to be stolen… in plastic, people would just stealing.
I wish that were true, it’s too bad it’s just a marketing gimmick, Farm fresh should be replaced by lab altered, their food is full of artificial flavors, colors, & ingredients
@@PatrickM-dm6sf even if the whole farm fresh stuff isn’t true, the food is still really good. Way better than Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, even five guys tbh.
That laugh :D lol btw, the reason shops I know they take off the shrink wrap is because they take the game out and keep it behind the counter to prevent theft
You missed out on going to Evansville Toys and Games. Daniel, the guy who owns it, is the nicest dude and would definitely take care of you. Highly recommend it if you are back in the area. Also, Secret Headquarters in Evansville has a ton of games at great prices.
Sometimes, if a switch battery is completely dead then It could take an hour or more before it will turn on. I found that out through stressful personal experience lol.
I can’t believe you were at V Stock in West County Mall. If I would’ve known you were there I would’ve loved to meet you . Sadly they’re known for overpricing their items.
Right at the start and I'd get lost looking at all the Funko Pops. Just a quick tip for DVD if you see Mary Kate and Ashley DVDs look it up they sell really well. Also non mainstream horror movies can have value.
White Castle are so good, they cost like $1 for a slider now days which is insane though. Taco Bell is great if your broke and need quick calories, can get vegetarian options that don’t have dog meat in them also
Alot of stores open up their new games to prevent theft, taking the games/inserts into storage. It's a policy that's SUPER prevalent in Australia, especially since EB Games pushed out most of the other chains entirely. A super dumb policy IMO
I just wanna say I don't even play video games anymore but I get so excited when a new video of yours comes out. It's even better now with the on-point editing!! Love the channel keep up the great content!!
Amazing to hear Kurtis, thanks for watching!
The zoom in on the girl Drinking her coffee like that made laugh so damn hard for some reason it just caught me off guard
Stop cursing its a sin.
Whoever edits these is amazing. I love when I know where the clips and sounds come from, and starting this video with Troll 2 made me one happy boy

I love that store! The Evansville one is the one I went to as a kid when I went to see my grandparents
Best burgers : Five Guys
Best fries : Five Guys and Rally’s as a second choice.
Best chicken : Raising Canes.

Yeaaa that's the same thing I was thinking that power brick looked like it wouldn't even have enough power out put to even charge most cell phones these days
@@JuanHernandez-mu3jx the switch is very picky on adapters. He should have bought it.
I use my phone charger every now and then if I have it in handheld and I'm not near the dock or I'm on the go, so idk guess it depends on the brick
Was going to say the same thing. I've used many adapters for the Switch systems, and alot of them don't work. Best to use the original adapter (which it should include anyway!)...
Yup my switch never charges on those cheap phone bricks
slowly shaking my head after I heard Caleb call the Boba Fett helmet a Jango Fett helmet..disappointed, lol😂😋

It's the charger, not the Switch. My Switch charges fine on other USB-C chargers. Get a better charger.
you hit 200K subs, i am jealous, good for you man!
Hello Caleb 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
11:35 Raising Canes" here in Dallas TX.
25:12 OH!!! Else is y'alls' Good Dog!!!!!!
🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶
I’ve seen brand new games sold at my local GameStop with no shrink wrap, was odd to see them open a brand new box with none actually sealed.
That is such a pet peeve of mine. I won't buy new from GS specifically because of that.
Generally, that's their last "new" copy. Drives me nuts, especially when I order from GS online and receive an opened game. As a result, I no longer buy games from GS that are really cheap or being clearanced out.
the "Stupid humans" voiceover made me laugh way harder than it should have maybe cause i'm watching at 4 in the morning.
Didn't realize that was hunting with Tripler before, awesome to see his channel getting some love!
Been binging your vids all day and this just popped up lol

I will! Although tbh I’m only in game exchange like once/month so there’s plenty to go around!
Hi Phoenix i love the way u take us tru your thoughts when you in doubt of buying games/dvds. the thought process is so recognizable!
Now I have a reason to go see my friends in Evansville this weekend.
Great video hands down my favorite TH-camr!!!

We have Entertainmart in Utah, which is the same company as vintage stock, they have some great deals if you go often. Especially DS and PS3/PS2 games
Cant believe he is in my hometown. I saw the store and instantly knew he was in Evansville.
19:50 They probably do that for copy write reasons. GameStop told me they had break the plastic on some games I traded in because by law they were not allowed to sell them factory sealed.
That feels like a lie not saying you are
If your in the Illinois area, go to the disc replay in orland park, then drive to highland Indiana. Those disc replays are bussin.
that v stock was in st louis. next time go to the other location in south county, its alot bigger :)
That place has it all pretty cool thanks again for a great video always keeps me entertained catch you on the flip side which is the next video haha

I know its late, but can confirm raising canes has been in CA and AZ for many years, so it's not exclusively regional
If we could tone down the "memes" then that would be pretty cool...

heheh "stupid humans"

Im like 30 min away from Evansville and go to Super Mega Replay so much. They have nearly everything

I love you Aaron but Role back the cut aways. Its not Calebs thing or why we are here. We come to you for that. Your energy is awesome and I appreciate you. xxx
8:00 i have to admit, i like the memes
Taco Bell 🔔 is my favorite fast food chain of all time. And you want us to ring the bell 😂
Those are display cases they have the sealed Games in the front just like how gamestop operates
But weren’t they in a lock case? If so I don’t see the point in opening them if they are locked in the other case?
@@punisher3289 well when ever I bring those boxes up to them at my vintage stock they give me a game from behind the Register

And for the empty area in the back, that used to be home appliances until they stopped accepting them.
In Australia the majority of switch games come without plastic wrapping because they don’t want to add to the plastics wastage like most companies do.
Vintage stock is actually a chain. We have in the st.louis and surrounding areas.
That disc replay that popped up on screen is the one I go too in Illinois
At 18:47 it is bobafet😂
I have been looking for the NCAA 14 FOR THE 360!!! I would have paid you for that one!!! Goooo baccckkk!!!

Your fast food tier list is missing something, a regional delicacy known as “Culver’s” S+ tier fast food from the midwest

Super Mega Replay in Evansville is dope
In Australia a lot of places open up the new games.
Vintage stocks are kinda like GameStop sometimes. Some stores won’t take sealed games because they think they could possibly be stolen
This man has become my center of attention.
Hey how does income tax work with Amazon fba. I wanna get into it but the one thing I’m worried about is getting screwed when tax season come around
That laugh :D lol btw, the reason shops I know they take off the shrink wrap is because they take the game out and keep it behind the counter to prevent theft
I’d just put it in the glass case
Where did you get the parsons hat neat to see
You missed out on going to Evansville Toys and Games. Daniel, the guy who owns it, is the nicest dude and would definitely take care of you. Highly recommend it if you are back in the area. Also, Secret Headquarters in Evansville has a ton of games at great prices.
When I got my switch from GameStop the bundle copy of mario odyssey was not sealed, and yeah, it kinda sucks to pay full price for used goods.
Sometimes, if a switch battery is completely dead then It could take an hour or more before it will turn on. I found that out through stressful personal experience lol.
Next time you are in the area check out Evansville Toys & Games
There is a mega replay in Fort Wayne Indiana
Lol a white castle slider is 100% beef steamed on a bed of onions.
Yo I go to this store a lot! They usually have a really cool selection glad you were able to stop here!
Shoulda noted I meant Super Mega Replay whoops
Awesome fact for u Caleb in Australia our Wendy's is just Icecreams n MilkShakes and there in shopping centers not drive thru's.
Me seeing the McDonald’s sign in the back! Lol
I enjoy these new edits. But let’s not get carried away with the same ole same ole edits. The freshness has been what’s hype for me imo.
It's just way too much of it... also, it's obvious Retro Rick has the same editor, lol
Yea. Way too many. I live the content but the edits have me fast forwarding through most of it. Just go back to the regular videos man.
It's the Riff effect
The little inserts are trash and overrated. The only good one was where the girl next to them was drinking something in her car.
Appreciate the feedback my guy! :D
I can’t believe you were at V Stock in West County Mall. If I would’ve known you were there I would’ve loved to meet you . Sadly they’re known for overpricing their items.
Good information about food chains
Right at the start and I'd get lost looking at all the Funko Pops. Just a quick tip for DVD if you see Mary Kate and Ashley DVDs look it up they sell really well. Also non mainstream horror movies can have value.
You can get those Shield and Sword Switch lites go for 200 in my area and on Mercari. 200-250
yeah about $200 online. thats why it was priced at $170. with the box and everything its like $300
Extra crispy box combo at canes ferrrrk yeah
White Castle are so good, they cost like $1 for a slider now days which is insane though. Taco Bell is great if your broke and need quick calories, can get vegetarian options that don’t have dog meat in them also
I can’t believe he missed Family Guy: Freakin' Party Pack
Next time you come to Evansville try book broker. Evansville has alot of thrif stores and pawn shops. Some big time game collectors are in Evansville
Ok never used it. I will add it soon
My top 5 fast food places I will go to are
#1 Popeyes
#2 Wendy's
#3 White Castle
#4 Chik-fil-A
#5 Chipotle
We are actually getting a Canes soon here. We are pumped to try it
Bro. Don't be sleeping on Burger King's onion ring. Major BOLO
This is my hometown shop!!! Normally very high prices!!
Alot of stores open up their new games to prevent theft, taking the games/inserts into storage. It's a policy that's SUPER prevalent in Australia, especially since EB Games pushed out most of the other chains entirely. A super dumb policy IMO
