Man, it’s brutal hearing people where PS3 games are their childhood. Feels like a different universe.
I was thinking the same thing. When he said it i was like "imagine ps3 is your childhood.. "
When I think of
childhood consoles, I'm thinking NES, SNES... im old...:P
No one's age shaming. How ridiculous 😆 🤣
We all know how nostalgia works, thank you. ❤️
I just can't believe how old I'm getting 😳
nothing wrong with a PS3 but it does make you feel old when it's someone else's first.
for me PS3 era is my post college descent back to video game addiction I was too drunk in college to have time for past freshman year
I'm no doctor but I think it might be counter productive to eat Raising Canes when working out/trying to drop some pounds/ getting healthy 😂
When you see an item at Wal-Mart and the price ends with a double zero (eg. $5.00) nit means that the item is being discontinued.
Our Walmart managers buy them before they even hit the floor then sale them on Ebay and Amazon under their spouses first and Maiden names. The lock on the door is broken so they can't put them on the floor then the door is mysteriously "fixed" when new games come out.
I hate these kinds of resellers to make things overpriced and why so many sellers are leaving eBay because of slow sales
I feel a Heckin storm coming soon…
Rick gonna mark those $5 games up to $60 😂
Then he’ll own them forever because those games are $5-$10 garbage games
@@Earthling247 Most digital game sales on PC, get them extremely cheap, and most console games are on PC. I'm glad consoles are at least making a effort, as they are always OVER PRICED.. Glad I gave up console collecting at xbox 360/ps4. Only good unique console would be nintendo if everything. Also you have to take note, that publishers that are selling these games at the "standard price" 5-30. .
@@Earthling247 their not garbage games if you don’t own them already
@@koilamaoh4238 There's no such thing as PC collecting. Only PC borrowing. Valve is a privately owned company right now so they don't answer to fiduciary duty, and yet they already banned some Russian dude (like full ban, incl losing games not just chat/forums) for shitposting. When they go private it will be way worse. And of course all the other giants have straight up said you're only borrowing the privilege to play the game, not owning it. At least on consoles you can still buy physical copies.
@@Rspsand07 drm free games and "gog" do exist, which you can backup yourself and archive, and use with any oS . WHich I have a lot of. You can also go the dubious route..I troll steam forums a lot, and youtube lol still here, I usually go against the majority of the demographic. Gaming/watching tv/reading on 3 monitors.. PC soo flexible
Steam is only good for the generic typical AA games. ALready had steam for a good 15+ years with no issue. Eventually I'll give up on games all together, when I get more older. I'm not a avid gamer as I used to be.
Consoles kinda suck, as hardware will ruin over time and or die out. Becomes more harder to replace and more expensive vs PC. Lost like 3 ps2's :( and 1 xb360
If Walmart can't sell those games...well, good luck.
He will just dump them on the folks stopping by the store on a family vacation
On one hand I get it, but still seems scummy. I can say much since I flipped my 3080 gpu during the shortage
Lol
I was omw to Walmart anyways and they did have super monkey ball for $5. I couldn't tell from your stack of games what others were $5. Is there a list anywhere?
Do you have a website? And do you ship nationally?
No more work outs?
Really cool shop man! One day I’ll have to check it out love your creativity
I’m a couple states over, definitely gonna visit this store one day!
Crazy sales indeed! Good grabs boys
Rick, do you ever try and get the Walmart switch promo displays?? You usually just have to claim them by writing your name/# on the displays and they will txt you or if you see the the Anderson employee that display the signage then you can tell them you would like to get certain ones once they come if they aren’t claimed…I have a large amount I get from my Walmart
I got a few games at my local Walmart yesterday for $5 each. You gotta use the Walmart and and price check them. They aren't always up to date on prices listed too
These sales have been running for several days and they only picked up 17 copies, whats the big deal?
I heard something about this at Walmart. I’m definitely gonna go check it out now. Thanks.
anyone know if this is for walmart's in canada?! thanks in advance
No sales in Canada… 😔
Never 😢
I just picked up 15 games from my local walmart. Everything 10-20 CAD$
Clearance sale prices are location specific. Collectors were reporting Funko Sodas, a $15 item, on clearance for $1 in November. They didn't go on clearance for $8 at my local Walmart until February of this year.
@retrorick Thank You for showing me the crazy deals at Wal Mart. I have been watching the channel for at least a year or more. I like the variety of content that you provide. I also want to let you know that you can use the last four numbers of a barcode on a receipt to determine which game applies to which price.
Best,
Adam H
lmao homie grabbing all the toys
MR Wrightway had a video the other day about this too so I ran out to my 2 local walmarts. Got 8 $5 games for 4 systems!
My Walmart has only less than half what you're Walmart has and they're not restocking it .
Congrats on the big wins! ❤ you guys!
I know a antique store that sells retro games, comics, manga and toys. Thanks for the tip Rick, I can find cheep sealed games from Walmart and resell them to help their small business.
I REALLY wanted to pick up Nier Automata for the Switch ($10), but the 3 Walmarts I checked in my area were already sold out by the time I got there... :(
I didn't think people who actually order the raising cane's sandwich existed
That light fixture up high has so many issues.
If that little girl said "were garbage" that would have been the highlight of the video in terms of comic relief.
i grew up on my brothers gameboy color, ps1 and ps2. my mom eventually got a wii for all of us and it was great, then the next console I shared with my older brother was his ps3. ill be 21 soon and I wish my brother was still here, he would be 27. i mainly played the ps3 with my friend kadyn and kaleb next door and my brother Kory who got me into call of duty.
Love it keep up the good work 😊😊
I got a wireless Zelda controller a few weeks ago for the Switch for like $15. But I hear a few buddies finding deals. Honestly those games though were barely even worth those deals but owning a store you could probably sell for twice what you paid and people will pay it.
How’s the diet coming lol ?
Not at the Walmart's in Canada by the look of it :(
Comic/toy/game shop manager here. Thanks for the heads up! I managed to land a copy of Super Monkey Ball, Lego Brawls, and Harvest Moon for $5 each. I have no plans on reselling, but to just have cheap games to play with my kids. It is damn near impossible to catch this kind of deal, so thanks again!!!
I totally did the same thing! I bought two copies of Monkey Ball (to give one to my nephew), a $5 Xbox game, found DreamWorks Kart Racing for $10, Sonic Mania+Team Racing for $20 and Ring Fit for $30 (got this one for myself). I don't plan on reselling, but even if I did there's no margin anymore. The eBay market is now flooded with all of these games. I did want Harvest Moon but sadly my store didn't have any.
So.. Are you going to see them to your customers for 5 bucks too?
1:55 now you have to run 100kms to spend those calories right there.
They are not $5.00 here in the PNW. Went to 4 Walmarts and they were are normal price.
I would run to Walmart and get them but as I work there, I have to wait 24 hours before purchasing them annndddd by the time I got there what you just did happened I had the electronics associate tell me one guy came in and bought almost everything we had.
Maybe either because they're older or because they buy so many they get them cheap?
Unicorn Overlord for $30 was the most tempting Walmart deal for me.
Scalping..
Added little tip about the light not working. That’s probably a two ballast fixture. The ballast internally for the two outer bulbs is probably bad. Still replaceable. Don’t replace the light connector seats until you replace the 2 bulb ballast. FYI
The reason why is because physical media is leaving stores. Even Best Buy stores. Stores have already announced this. They Don't make much profit from selling games when people just buy digital.
That’s why most cheap games are just shovelware
Do u guys answer your videos? I repeatedly asked to buy the fallout armor. Crickets.
I pickup skylanders for the switch from Walmart for $5 when it was still in stores
Shoutout new employee Ryan, my favorite game is Black op 2 on the ps3 aswell
So, when you guys buy games at retail price and sell them at the store, how do you price them? Over retail price or under? I don't see the point of you guys doing this when you should go through a supplier and get a bulk deal on switch games
My Walmarts… all gone 😢 saw the $5 tags though
Grimey
HES A REAL ONE FOR SAYING BLACK OPS 2
Use the app to scan those games, sometimes i get lucky and get 1 cent games at Walmart lol
I have just hit 43 years on April 1st.and just saying a big hello to everyone from Cornwall UK
i so wish u shipped stuff cause i want that complete in box xbox one x scorpio edition for my collection
Retro the scalper Rick.
It sucks seeing people do that. Makes me think when I was a kid I was never able to get games because my parents couldn't afford them, but if there was newish 5 dollar games I'm sure my mom would of got me one! Scalpers don't even give people the chance to have that experience. It sucks.
These games at Walmart sucks. You're acting like he's getting AAA titles, these are garbage games to be whining about.
Yep, Fascism through Capitalism does suck.
Fractional banking system.
Inflation, inflation, inflation.
Stop using the DOLLAR.
Without getting into details, I'd love to relocate and create a career at your store.
I can pay my own way to relocate, don't have any kiddos & just need a workplace to call home. ❤️
Hmm I need to start a game store so I can be on another level and catch these kind of deals for my own store. Next level profits there.
Love your videos❤
Can someone please tell me what the robotic voiceover says in the first second of each of these videos? It's been bugging me for MONTHS. All I hear are "games [indecipherable]"
Game begin?
@@dfilm You might be right! Now that's all I hear, lol
@@bcutler13 it's an awful noise and has haunted me as well.
HEY! I have Kuon, my aunt works at a landfill and someone brought a bunch of ps2 and GC games for her to have. She gave it to me and Kuon was in it as well as RE3. Its CiB as well, beautiful condition IMO.
Sitting on a goldmine
How is the weight loss journey going?
They should have said how much they were selling them for
They will easyli triple the price.
You just know he wouldn’t pay $5 of those games were traded in
@@jamesthompson6181 how much does Walmart pay for traded in games?
Nobody will buy 😂
pretty much did when he said $20
Should wear gloves when handling light bulbs. Oils from your fingers/hands can and will shorten the bulb's life.
biggest scalper i've seen
paying almost 1k for a game thats older than me is wild.
Those were some good finds at Walmart!
Step 1 phase out physical games from stores ... Step 2 take away peoples digital rights to games. Step 3 make all games subscription based. Companies profit more and you stay slaving away. 👍
Walmart is ending sale of physical Xbox games and is trying to get the shelving space back for other goods
I picked up the tony hawk remaster, spyro and the newest saints row all for $5 and was honestly suprised. The first two were successful.
No lie, i noticed this myself !! Ive been buying switch games for my son at retro stores for a while up untill one day i decided to have a quick look at the switch section at walmart. Their prices are the same or few dollars CHEAPER. I'm over here buying used games some with no case when i could of just gone to Wamart and get it new. Smfh!
"Why are Retro Game Stores so expensive" is a better title
Because it's hard to find things. You know, time. You can say the same about coins, antiques.
Because people have needs. They have children...they want to make a few bucks, nothing wrong with hustling and making some money...They buy low and sell high, can't blame em! They aren't forcing anyone to buy anything.
Go Digital, Don't worry it won't be worth anything in the future. Just buy new games will get expensive buying physical.
@@TheBridgesYouBurn just wait till everything is digital
Keep shopping at Walmart, GameStop and Amazon
Funny cause those games are dirt cheap everywhere online now.
Nice! Bout time Walmart sold games at reasonable prices. Now I just wish those 5-bucks games were games I actually played. I'm not a reseller so any game I buy goes into my personal collection and I keep. But I buy games that I've already played and liked, or games I legit WANT to try and play through at least once.
I need Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eeevee to clearance out for $15 ea so I can grab like 100 of each lol. Such a great Gen 1 remake to me, and already 6 years old somewhow.
Hi, I just subbed to your channel.
Joy cons for switch at Walmart are $37 dollars also
I'm pretty sure this is just another sign of the unfortunate death of physical media.
I work at a Walmart it's because they are quietly doing away with physical media 3 stores in my area are doing remodels, so they are purging their physical media they are shrinking the electronic department to like 4 aisles in these stores in my store they are even shrinking toys down also they are switching a hard focus to online and ship from store.
Yep, cut staff, focus on profitable areas like home, outdoor, clothes, and soon to be tvs.
Wow didn't know Lance bass was working at a video game store😅😅😅😅
Walmart is discontinuing in store sales of games. That’s why.
Making me want canes don’t do that 😭
UK 🇬🇧 Supermarkets SUCK for games
The least he could do is start selling off some of that ridiculous collection in his office to fill in the gaps
Honestly those games are shovelware and not worth the $5.
I wish walmart was giving away games that low, the lowest game i seen was 29.93
Another reason why I don't shop at retro game stores.
its kinda funny to consider this as Wal Mart advertising.
definitely a bad look to let their customers know they sourced from there and upsell their finds.
but there's a lot to appreciate your local shops for. way more personality than big department retail. they host events and bring the locals together on their passions rather than soulless capitalism. everybody needs to make a buck, just hope they keep it fair.
Why watch their videos then?
Boohoo
@@bushwickerman he bought games from wal-mart just up sell them at his store.
Where do you purchase your retro games?
Work at Walmart myself, bought what I wanted as soon as they marked them down. Most are games that we are just making way for new games, especially the bargain games. Though I do see Microsoft slowly losing more physical space than anyone.
"WHY are Video Games THIS CHEAP @ Walmart?!" - proceeds to read out a list of completely rubbish games 😮😅
Then buys a load of cheap Xbox games (cheap because the worth of physical Xbox has been creamed by Gamepass) even though he made a video detailing why he doesn't wanna stock Xbox anymore 😂😂
While I understand why people would be upset at resellers for this, at least Rick isn't hiding it and he's showing what many independent game stores do and have done for years. At the end of the day it's a business and Rick needs to support his family. If people are willing to pay his marked up prices, that's on them.
So uhh.... what was wrong with the light?!
Rockstar Games remastered GTA 5 so many times.
YOOO Cane's is so good, man
change out your light fixtures for leds. that will save your electric bill...
Wow...Switch Games in Germany sell for a premium. Older titles at full price and some got the more expensive new prices. "Breath of the Wild" was about 60 € new...no it cost 70 € (about 64 $ old now 75 €). Also used Games are still expensive here. New 3DS Games for Example (like Mario Parties, Yokai Watch) at Supermarket near cost around 40 €.
Walmart is not cheap in Canada except some very low quality clothing items. Everything else is priced marginally lower than some other stores but most things are still priced higher than you'd ordinarily be wanting to pay
You should really give those games away. It feel kind of bad for people who watch , then shop at your store to see you selling these!!
Going now!
Rick I need that project Scorpio
