My dude, stop wasting money on ballasts and bulbs and go LED. You will save so much money!
Just thought you should know, Daniel Pasina isn’t the voice of those characters. He’s the actor whose likeness was made into the game’s sprites.
this is correct because scorpion's get over here was done by ed boon himself, which is why he's often asked to do it at cons.
Phoenix Resale would've asked if there was any wriggle room on the $100 game bundle
hed offer 20. Hes gotta make money too
Your heart sank when she said cash. Lol
Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real
Switch to LED bulbs
If you're going to sell something, it's your responsibility to do research on your product. And if you're the type of person who just wants to get rid of said product, then you're only going to get what you're willing to accept. I would consider that a huge deal!! Plus they put in the effort to clean the cartridges, they earned their profit!
If she brought the games to Rick's store and he paid that much would you feel the same she obviously didn't know games could be worth that much they took advantage of her ignorance
@@nightmarecow3631 Ignorance is bliss
@@nightmarecow3631- In this day and age of information being readily available at the push of several buttons in the convenience of your own home, any ignorant person can educate themselves about anything they have to see if it’s worth something.
Whether she had the foresight to do the research and possibly get more than what she bargained for is ultimately on her. Anyone who knew better could’ve educated her about the potential of getting more than what she was willing to accept, but it’s ultimately on her to know that potential. Any buyer wanting to take advantage of a great deal like that is simply taking advantage of a great deal. There was really no excuse for the seller to get in on a great deal herself given all it took was simple Google research.
I agree with David. Not my job to price another person’s items. If they’re happy with what they’re getting and I’m happy with what I’m paying then I don’t see anything wrong. Especially if I have to put my time and money into coming to you, cleaning and reselling.
@@robertallison3947 not saying they needed to price things just be transparent and tell them better options and if they still wanted to sell then that's great. Also it's not hard to clean games or resale
The thing is, once you start offering more and more for the stuff the seller will get anxious and start to realize they're making a mistake and if you do end up completing the deal even after offering more you could leave them feeling regretful and unsure about what they just did. Match their ask and be polite.
These were my thoughts exactly. Well said.
Damm you can’t win you offer less you’re low balling you offer more you’re hurting the sellers feelings.
This is the craziest take I have ever heard.
@@gilbertoarellano8525it’s not about hurting feelings. It’s about tipping them off to the fact the stuff is worth way more than they are asking for. You’re hurting your chances of closing the deal when they start wondering why you’re offering to pay more. The best option is to just pay what they ask and not make a big deal of it. Not so they don’t feel regret but so they actually close the deal with you asap.
@@iainlee It's true though, that happens all the time. People start getting multiple higher offers like it's an auction and they frequently realize they need to look stuff up and list stuff individually. Not saying that's a bad thing but this dude getting $3,000 in games for $120 is like a once in a 20 year situation. Wildly uncommon, at least in my experience. I typically will end up finding a deal with a console and 10 games, worth $$300-400 or so listed for $200, but this dude's deal is wild.
The money comes from knowledge in how much games can sell for. Takes times to learn & gain all that knowledge. Knowledge he had but she didn’t. He paid more than she was asking for so that’s all we can ask for. Good for him for getting that score.
A little more never hurt anybody, it’s more like a tip I guess. It’s the sellers job? To know what they have and price it as they please. I recently picked up a silver GameCube with a wired oem controller , wave bird with 2 receivers . Def jam vandetta, sonic battle adventure 2, Mario sunshine, NFS, Tony hawk. She wanted $25 she was willing to put it on hold for me even tho she said she got a ton of messages and when I went to pick it up I gave her $50
Ur a sucker
I never feel good about taking advantage of people even if it's their responsibility to do research and find out what their stuff is worth. I also understand that people try to do this for a living to provide for their family, so no hate towards them at all. My heart just won't let me do it. I think Leviticus 25:17 says it best "Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God"
Ed boon has done scorpions voice since the original
Bought my ticket for Saturday and reserved my hotel today. Looking forward to Retrofest. Driving in from Orlando.
Reconsider Limited Run - they are burning intentional DVR quality discs that do not work for people now. People are dropping them like a bad habit
Such a problematic company. I 100% refuse to support them.
@@KurenTV bought a Switch game from them and it came without the cartridge and it was fake sealed with shitty cellophane wrap.
LR has been trash for over 5 years since I know about them. The insane pre-order waiting times is out of this world.
I agree they are crap but that was only with one game and I’m sure they didn’t buy that copy
They need to go out of business. It’s worse than DKOldies.
Try xyab there know to sponsor youtubers and maby would the event and you. Plus you could get some new replacement parts and accessories to throw in with consoles.
I'm sorry but I would have definitely paid 100, if she asked for 100.
You need to do a parking lot sale to clear out a lot of that upstairs stuff.
Retro rick would have asked if she would take 50. He's a pos
I main Pikachu in Smash 64. It was the one I played most and had so much fun playing it with the friends.
Stop just thrashing the items, please. Show some respect.
he had to clean and test the games, youre taking a risk the games work
I once got a marketplace deal for a boxed complete Mint NES with a bunch of games and a Master System 1 with a load of games, some of which were pretty rare heavy hitters. Paid the seller double what they were asking for the lot and I still got a amazing deal. If I know I'm getting a deal I'll usually pay over asking. I was always brought up with the mindset that you get back what you give out. Worked out pretty well so far.
Will Phoenix Resale be getting an early access pass to your convention and be buying all the handhelds and good condition first party nintendo games from everyone?
I once bought a copy of Ninja Combat for the AES for $75 on Facebook Marketplace. When I got the cart it was unlabeled and when I plugged it in, it didn't work. I assumed I got ripped off but just incase I opened the cart and saw that it was an official PCB. I tried a little harder to clean it and when I plugged it back in I saw that it was Metal Slug (they had listed 3 games that included Metal Slug and Ninja Combat), I was tempted to just keep it but every thing in my collection was either a gift, something from my childhood or something I found out in the wild (ie, something with a story behind it). I figured that the seller had just made a very expensive mistake and the right thing to do was to message them and let them know. Unfortunately whoever they shipped the Ninja Combat to didn't feel the same way (the seller refunded me the $75 and I dropped the Metal Slug off at their house). At least I feel good about sending out some good into the retro community. Still haven't found a copy of Ninja Combat that cheap though :)
Pikachu is the best in Smash 64!
I would do the same as him, I would give them a bit more but when it comes to a score sometimes you gotta hold your tongue
I hope heckin Steve makes a response to your question at the end of the vid
Definitely no shame in the game. It’s the responsibility of the buyer and seller to conduct proper research. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Like they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
Limited Run Games sucks…
They announce the CE Radical Edition of TMNT Shredders Revenge, I order it for my wife, I wait 1 year 6 months….. It arrives (while others have already played the game) 1 week…. 1 week after the premium buyers get the game….
“Heres a 1 year anniversary with all the DLC on the disc 😃” 😑 with the CE edition being the vanilla version after 1 week.
F**k LRG
If I have anything extra to give and the seller is OK with letting stuff go for a small amount I'm always willing to give an increased amount, especially when people hold stuff for me and let me check it out before I hand them the money.
Moat recently picked up a big PS1/PS2 lot with about $400 worth of games. The lady held it for 2 days and let me go through everything and only wanted $50. I had $80 ok me and gave her the extra $30.
It was a good haul, considering out of the 40-50 games and consoles I kept about a dozen games for myself and made a profit on what I didn't need.
She said she didn't care about it since it was her ex husband's and he had over a year to come pick it up 😅
I bought five PS2 games last year for $40. Thinking maybe they were in bad shape with def jam fight for NY in there. Surprise, suprise everything was minty fresh, probably my only good score I'll ever get though, living in rural British Columbia. Oh the clips in your videos are amazing 😊
I would just pay whatever the person was asking for. Even if somethings worth more, they probably wouldn't care that much to be honest. I've sold super expensive games like Hagane for SNES for like $25. I didn't really care about the price at the time.
Giving what they are asking is on the seller. If you feel like they are way under priced you could offer more but that could have weird consequences. "Well how much are they really worth?"
What I find deplorable is asking for a lower price when you know it's a great deal. Saw something like this from someone on another TH-cam channel. Pursuing the Correct Cost. Stopped watching after that. The discount wasn't much on an already crazy low price but it was the principle.
I am so embarrassed for Rick and whoever that guy is.... Daniel Pesina the voice of Mortal Kombat ?!? Wtf? Rick was never a gamer, smdh. Running a game store about celebrating "nostalgia" and yet thought Daniel Pesina was a Mortal Kombat voice actor. Rick and his workers probably look down on and hate actual gamers. The other video Rick was wearing a Hollywood Hogan shirt, when he has stated numerous times he never a fan and never saw wrestling. It's like these kids wearing Nirvana shirts when they have never heard a single song.
No matter when I buy something from Marketplace, I always ask if they'll go lower.
In this case, I would have just paid the $100 she was asking for and bounced.
The people out here saying the guy didnt Rob the person selling the games. are wild
have u ever had unexpected financiel problems and no money if so u would know that having stuff and needing to sell that stuff asap for money sucks because you cant wait with selling and getting a good price is hard close to impossible. having been there myself i have and always will regret the things i have sold in order to survive. these guys dont care about games they just wanna make some money horrible people imo. coudve atleast inform the person, But no Greed took over.
bad english not native language
I wouldn't have given her anything. That stuff was filthy, a good way to mess up your retro consoles with dirty games. Plus the writing on top the N64 cartridges with black sharpie. Barf.
I recall 2 year ago buying a sega genesis, i paid the guy around 30 euro. There were some games but i did not check them. Back home browsing trough the games i found.
Sonic 1 and 2 which are not worth that much.
Shinobi 3 Great game and certainly not bad ussual goes for around 40+ here.
Then i get to the bottom of the box the guy putt the lot in.
Hook Never played it but i found on ebay that its a expensive game.
but on the bottom i found castlevania new generation, i was so shocked. Castlevania new generation is a 200 + euro game here in Europe.
So paying 30 euro for a easily 500 euro is lot.
Based on that pic. Those games were pretty dirty. Plus they said “only 20 bucks in gas” to check it out. That’s gotta be kinda far then? I drive a civic. Though that’s like a weeks worth of gas lol.
My main is fox since n64 version of Smash. I love his moveset. Falco was an unlockble character by defeating 100man melee in melee (gamecube). Falco is a character I am learning as well.
Epic GGG-unit scores!!!! I would have given wot she asked for and run 🏃!!!!😂epic well done 👍
'I've got mouth's to feed'. I'm always wary of people who use that line. People on here saying it's the responsibility of the Seller to know their product and the price. Up to a point. If they are dangerously low balling their own product it is the duty of the buyer to educate them otherwise it's just as good as, at worst, stealing, at best, taking advantage of someone. That's my opinion. So many grifters commenting on here. I'm sure if the roles were reversed and you sold something for a ridiculously low price you would soon be getting lawyered up once you knew how low-balled you had been, crying to your lawyer how the 'nasty person' had taken advantage of you. So have some empathy and practice what you preach.
I found a cib gameboy game while looking through a lady’s collection. She had no idea it was worth 2-300$; ended up giving her about 150 after letting her know it was worth more than the $10 she was asking
I would of done $100. If that's what they asking, that's what they getting. No more, no less. It's up to them to do the research to check the value.
I would have given her 120 first off collecting is expensive if I can get pieces for my collection for cheap I will second off I wouldn't be selling anything and making an insane profit soi wouldn't feel bad
considering the work the put into cleaning the games , knowing their worth + the time and gas money to pick them up. I'd pay 250$, unless you knew they would spend it unwisely!
Smash 64 main is Fox. No one is better except MAYBE a good Falcon; no ifs, ands, or buts.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but when I get a N64 game that someone wrote on back in the day I like leaving it on the game. I feel like it adds character and its part of that specific games history. Especially when its the name of the owner. I had my name on all my games back than.
I’m all down to help out and being fair but we get cought up on monetary value a little too much sometimes. Sometimes people just want the stuff out of their house they don’t care how much it sells for hence why they don’t put the effort to find out how much it sells for. Sometimes people know how much it sells for but they don’t want to go through the trouble of selling it. We see this every week on some form or another. Value is at times subjective and relative. I think it’s cool he gave her more but I also wouldn’t have hold it against him if he didn’t. It is nice to be nice though
Shopping cart theory. Tells you more than you'll ever need to know about his character, as well as all the commenters defending him paying that little to someone who very clearly didn't know what they had. Do better, be better.
They posted it they had the opportunity to look up everything if they wanted to. I would’ve taken it for the offering price which is amazing deal and that’s why we do this.
I would have likely given the 100 she was asking for. I feel like people should not be rewarded for their lack of research/effort in a sale.
Pay them the asking price. Reap the low buy cost of the games and enjoy them. Or reap the rewards
If you pay the asking price there is no debate. Especially when you pay extra...
Why would you give more?
I guess because I do market research a lot in general I would’ve probably given her a hundred lol. I mean she said 100 I would’ve been like bet we will do a hundred lol.😊
I always pay the asking price if its a good deal. If they came up with that number, there is no shame in accepting it. Now if you lowball someone with a low offer or counter offer then you are a scum bag...lol
Look at USPS parcel ground, about the same shipping time, but cheaper
I live in the UK and when it's bootsale season if I'm out hunting toys then I pay what's asked of me if I see it fair , altho if I go to buy something and it's a child selling to buy more toys then I have no problems with giving extra , at the end of the day it's a life lesson they learn and it's obvious to me if the parent is letting the child price and sell their items then they are already off to a good start😊, games are hard as our second hand stores now charge a flat £10 rate in anything mainstream Nintendo even if its essential worth pounds , they now employ people to ebay stuff so rarely does a gem slip thru the cracks , unfortunate for me yes but I've had plenty of happy years hunting before the change 😊
You have to resell stuff...that takes time and the right buyer. Some people would rather the quick buck then do all of that. That said, there is a big difference in games vs some old lady not realizing her late husband car was worth millions in terms of robbery.
I was almost always Fox on Smash Bros 64. Other than that I liked Kirby and Mario.
So I would pay 100 bucks without a dought but I do this ... if I see a marketplace posting like that but cant get to it then I send the person all the gameye pricing and make sure the next guy don't get the deal
This shop looks more like a fantasy shop then a business. I always wonder if it would survive without the youtube money.
$120 was fair. I would have giving her $100 and keep it pushing!
Hey Rick your content is amazing and I love it when is the next time your going to be in Texas I have a pretty big collection of stuff that I think you would be interested in
I collect comics . It's so easy to buy anything these days and ahed but I like to find in the wild at estate farm sale or a garage sale in middle of nowhere. I collect for myself and like putting a good story to purchase rather just sayin i bough on ebay
It’s 2024, who doesn’t know that old video games are in and people are willing to pay top dollar for them. Who ever doesn’t know that is living under a rock!
I would of gave her 200 because just because she seemed like a cool person and there were really good games in that tub.
You pay asking price , if you’re inclined to give a little more , that’s up to you .
❤😊😊
Do you have an online store? If your sitting on so product why not sell online too? I’m sure you have items that I would love to buy but can’t because I can’t shop in person at your store.
Normies don’t care if they ask $100.00 give them $100.00
I'd say $80 jk I'd give a little more might lead to more or a friend or family member w games
I would of did what he did paid what she asked and went on because he's in the making money buisness
Where is that accent from at 10:58 ?? He sounds like a character from Family Guy 😄
I woulda gave $150 max I got bills to pay sucka!😂
I woulda done the same but from watching your videos you woulda haggled her down
Michael looks like SKEETER from Doug
Would given her a bit more, maybe 25% of the worth at least
If this guy had a delivery service to the UK I'd buy a shit load from here 👍
If Phoenix resell is coming to the convention then we should boycott it until he's removed.
I know some of y’all would have tried to talk her down to $75 😂😂😂
The way people are today, if you tell them you’ll pay more than what they’re asking, you’re running the risk of them then looking up some of the prices. Sometimes you just gotta catch ‘em slipping or it may backfire 😅
This is exactly what I was going to say.
If I had 120 on me I'd say here take it lol. if I had more and she just wanted 100 i'd say sure here's 100
Don't worry man, i just bought 2k worth of books for 200 bucks.
I'm of the mind that if you pay what they want, then it's fair. Sometimes you win and some times you lose so, so take the wins when you can and mouths to feed is as good a reason as any.
I would have negotiated and still paid less than her asking price.
Fox for 64 smash deflecting shield 🛡️
With that deal? I would have offered $80. LOL.
I'd let her know, look you have one $375 game in here, probably over $500 in product here. Just dont want you to get ripped off and not even know it. If youre interest I'll give you about $200 for everything. Knowing I just offered you less than half of what I quoted, you gotta understand I need to value my time and knowledge. I gotta make a profit on this, so here's the offer. If you want to try and wait to get top dollar for all this, up to you, but I just dont wanna see an innocent person get ripped off.
If you’re gonna be transparent then the biggest factor is not knowing if the product even works. It’s literally worth nothing if it doesn’t work. So if they won’t let you verify that it actually works or they won’t money back guarantee it, then that’s a huge hit to the sales price they have to take.
As a fellow game store owner all of that stuff would disappear on eBay
I think it depends on the situation of the sale; if he/she looks like they could really use the money and clearly just didn’t have the time to research, then I would offer closer to value, but any other case, we’re both happy lol
Fair enough as long as there is a money back guarantee if the games don’t work. You assume a ton of risk when you offer fair market value for used goods that can’t be verified in the moment. It could literally be a box of garbage, worst case scenario. This must be factored in when considering your offer. The game is worth 350 of it works and 0 if it doesn’t. So what is "closer to value" in that situation?
I would have probably gave $200 for the games considering the one PS1 horror games goes for almost $350
Bad at business
@dznutzonfyre4432 its called being a human what if she had some other stuff lying around even more valuable and realized you got over on her thats why a lot of ppl don't get called back that's my opinion
It goes for 350 if it works. Was it tested by the seller? Would they let you test it before buying? Is there a money back guarantee if it doesn’t work? If not, The reseller is assuming risk here, and that lowers the price too.
@CarlYota you do know ppl most ppl throw games in the trash that don't work especially people that don't know about video games so im pretty sure they played those games over the years please stop the stupidity you could easy check the back of the disc and say something I said $200 and you got offended like have some decency
@@CarlYota it was in a plastic baggy, I’m pretty sure they took somewhat good care of it
I’d be giving a little more but still taking it
low ball and offer 60
Just subscribed because of the bloomquist shirt 👌🏽
Give her the 100.. and get some food with my last 20
I would of gave that person the price they ask for. It is not the person problem if they don't do research. It is not the buyer problem to hold your hand like a child to educate the seller. If the buyer knew what she had and wanted the item knowing its a hot item, He can offer them more to sealed the deal. Knowledge is not free.
Had this person on market place bought 2 rare first gen toy story toys. She didn't realize they were first gen under a specific brand and movie size toys. She post it for only $20.00 each. She didn't reply at first and i knew how much they were worth and i offer her a little more to seal the deal. She said i was busy at the time and wasn't trying to ignore you I sell it for $20.00 each.
I sold one for $300.00 and she notice i had the other one listed for $300.00 she got butt hurt and call me out during a 2nd conversation we had. I told her well you were not honest with me, Item is listed as new, The item was open box. It would of been a lot more if completely "new". I told her knowledge is the key, She stated i will not make that mistake again wtih the movie size. I told her it isn't just about the movie size, It was about the brand and generation. Told her the price i sold the one of the toy story item and block her, Day's later sold the other one. I was not that mad about the listed "new" since it was open box it is still worth a ton even at used price. I was shock.
Not the buyer problem if the person does not have knowledge. Not their responsibility
Ahhh I'll give u 60 bucks u get the cash and I take all the risk lol
Let’s me real if people are that stupid to sell stuff without looking it up then that’s on them
