Absolutely! I love checking out new areas and seeing what the thrifting is like. Episode 100 is going to be a special one for sure! I have some big plans! 😇
Dude I just stumbled upon your channel this weekend and you’re definitely one of the best editors on here out of all the game hunters out there. Straight craps me up.
Florida is a nice place, going back in September to Disney World with the family. My favorite kind of magic cards, the free kind. Nice pickups especially the gta Chinatown wars.
Wooooooooo, another weekend has come and another El Dabstroyero video has dropped, today is good. First Game Hunt in Florida you say? Let's see how this one goes, I'm sure your going to find some cool things. Let's GOOOOOooooooo. Some nice stuff early on, so much signed wrestling stuff. Then the Odyssey boxed is super cool (even if your math might be a bit off lol). not by a lot though. Even though people don't think Atari might be the coolest system out there. I remember my older brother had an Atari, and me and my younger brother tested everything out for him one night, super fun. I've recently picked up a system myself (last year I believe and the "Darth Vader" version). Sadly never came with a power cord (but got a friend to test out and it works), and also need to get an adaptor piece to hook up to a newer TV (as space makes it so I don't have a CRT one at the moment). Great deal on the little stack you got, I think even at $25 I would of picked up the Magic cards (although awesome he threw them in at the end). Nice haul (even if not the biggest you've had in recent times). I think the top couple things for me would be: GTA Chinatown Wars, Pryzm and Wrestlemania (in terms of the flea market pick ups). Overallthough for things shown off in the video though, gotta go with Dracula for the Sega CD. The Theme Boosters for Magic are a pre-set card list if I remember right, so normally in them there are no massive hits, but the market always changes, who knows what the future will hold for them. Another great video Dab, keep up all the incredible work and Good Luck on getting to 3k games, knows you will get there soon enough. Cheers dude. #Roadto3k
This was a fun one for sure! The wrestling stuff still blows my mind, I could have spent all day looking at it. Atari is hard to justify playing these days, but growing up it was still a viable option! 25 was fair with the cards, I was on the fence about them because I really do have way too many cards already haha. But it ended up working out! I had a feeling it was a preset pack too like you say which is another reason I was on the fence, but oh well lol. See you at 3k! :D
Great series dude! I know that bleak feeling of striking out at several places and it feels like a waste of time. You killed it with the main find here though! Speed Racer's a cool little cheap game. I picked it up on DS, Wii, and PS2 for super cheap. Very good fun to value ratio.
Thanks so much and so true, when you’re striking out it can get disheartening so fast, but that storage unit made up for it and really pulled me out of a funk! Interesting! I need to give it a play through
I have been doing gamestop buy 2 get one free and hitting up my retro stores we dont have alot of yard sales or goodwills in my area. The goodwills dont have games in my area.
The Feed Store Antique Mall in Ellenton has games and consoles. Definitely hard to find around here unfortunately but the prices there are pretty good.
For just one pickup you did pretty good especially when compared to other video game hunting/collecting TH-camrs namely the game chasers which have been in a dry spell for quite a few episodes and yet somehow they still manage to stretch the video out to be longer than most of yours
Hey Bob! I need to get caught up on their episodes, I didn’t know they were in a dry spell - I’d say I have been too, but it gave me a chance to get caught up on editing at least!
@@charlieb308 my bad I thought theirs were longer but turns out they’re shorter so sorry about that but a large portion of their most recent videos have been less and less about video game hunting and more about totally unrelated stuff like the phantom of the antique store where someone farted and a good portion of the video was wasted on that alone so that’s probably why I made the mistake
Great pickups. yeah dry spells suck but I love the house on haunted hill it's my favorite Vincent price movie and are u crazy leaving that model kit that thing was awesome
What part of Florida were you hunting? I’m in Central Florida near Disney and the pawn shops near here have good stuff. The thrift shops do suck down here…
@@ElDabstroyero Gotcha. The furthest south I’ve done game hunting is Tampa Bay area and I did ok. Kissimmee/Orlando seems to have better options for sure. At least you found some good scores!
Do you play all your games? It’s very cool but realistically this must be more about the collecting than it is about playing them. I have maybe 400-500 and I’m curating even that …to reduce as there’s just not enough time to play everything.
I definitely don’t have time to play them all, especially because the editing of the videos takes up so much time. Before I had the channel, it was a lot easier, but I really like being able to share the game hunts with everyone so it’s a bit of a Catch-22.
@@ElDabstroyero makes complete sense. Appreciate your commenting back. Only discovered you yesterday and your content is very interesting. It’s nice to see a collector collecting. Usually it’s resellers (phoenix resale, chase after the right price, retro rick).
@AnotherWatchChannel Welcome to the tag-team, homie! I love chatting with other people who like game hunting, so it’s my pleasure! I do enjoy the different styles of videos, I see a lot of rare and random stuff that way - but I like to think that my videos are a bit unique compared to some of the styles you mentioned. I used to say it a lot more, but I really feel like it is about the journey and not the destination. I want everyone to have a good time, have fun, and enjoy the ride on a nice game hunt, even if we don’t get the best games every time or make a ton of money. 😊
Its sad here in florida bro.. usually fb marketplace is actually a better option since nowdays.. thift stores and even pawnshops like to overprice their games🙃
@@ElDabstroyero yea thats how it is bro , depending where you go in florida most of the time the gamehunting here is straight up dry😔 but hey fb marketplace is the best thing to pick games up
@@ElDabstroyero you should bro! There’s very awsome deals on there! I recently picked up a 6 snes lot for $80 and one of the games was $100 game which was ninja warriors & mann its such an addicting game never played it before but i got a steal which only kept 2 and rest i can use for trade bait😁
I see you a newer channel you have good content and awesome editing skills. I have 2 channels The Germ and Pink Flamingo Games. I’ll give you a sub. Are you going to Too Many Games in Oak Pa? I’ll be there Sunday. I think you mentioned being from Pa.
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! I actually didn’t realize Too Many Games was this weekend, so unfortunately I won’t be making it - let me know how it was!

14 episodes to go! Always fun to go hunting when you are out of town.

It's all about the journey dab! Some days better than others and this was still a good haul!
very true! And at the end of the day, it was still a trip down to Florida, so I can’t complain!

Thanks so much - glad you’re digging the channel! New episode coming out Friday, so you’ve got a few days to get caught up! 😊
We schhhhmoking that Florida Pack
😂😂
You should have got that Pepsi Stuff sign. That was very cool. Very 90’s
I totally missed it, that sounds interesting!

Absolutely can’t beat free Magic cards! Nice! Enjoy Disney, tell Mickey his Magical Quest game on SNES is one of my favorites haha

A boy and his Blob, great gift! Also, that Intel vision dungeons and dragons game artwork is sick!
Agree - love the box art on those old games!
I have been doing gamestop buy 2 get one free and hitting up my retro stores we dont have alot of yard sales or goodwills in my area. The goodwills dont have games in my area.
The buy 2 get 1 deal comes in clutch sometimes, especially now that they have some retro games as well!

Oh nice! Next time I’m down in Florida I need to check it out!
@@ElDabstroyero It's a nice antique mall and the only one around that has games that I've seen
Always nice to have at least one decent option!
@@ElDabstroyero absolutely, if you're looking for anything in particular, let me know, I've got quite a bit
Appreciate that!

The longest video they have in last 3 is 27 minutes. 13,27,27…Mr ElDab’s video was 27 minutes.

I feel like antique store air is already 60% fart at any given time, right?
What part of Florida were you hunting? I’m in Central Florida near Disney and the pawn shops near here have good stuff. The thrift shops do suck down here…
This was all down in the SW - Sarasota and Port Charlotte - my first time thrifting in Florida and it was a challenge haha
@@ElDabstroyero Gotcha. The furthest south I’ve done game hunting is Tampa Bay area and I did ok. Kissimmee/Orlando seems to have better options for sure. At least you found some good scores!
Supposedly if I had gonna further south I might have had more luck, I've been told - who knows! But thanks! That storage unit saved my bacon!

Georgia is the same way sadly even goodwill sends there games to eBay
Ugh! I hate that! At least give us a chance!!!
