A reseller calling another reseller “greedy” is hilarious.
the people who buy homes and flip it are the worst
I agree because most of the time it’s just cheap tile and board that they use. Literally band aiding a house for profit
I agree on this completely, they are usually very rude to interact with as well
Rich people or just people who don’t have to pay their way just simply ruin everything. I can almost guarantee you all of these reseller TH-camrs were well-off before they ever started.
"Yeah he's a pretty greedy cat" 😂😂
I have an awesome collection of vintage games that I started collecting from the mid 90s to the early 2000s. About 500 games in total . I have to say that these resellers will never get their grubby hands on my stuff. I'd rather throw it in the trash then let them make a penny on my stuff . They have ruined the hobby and the only purpose they serve is to act like vampires and ruin it for every actual gamer
I feel what you’re saying for real. I’d rather give my stuff away to family or close friends instead of the trash but I respect your passion. Lol
@@steviefreakinc I'd give it to friends before I'd throw the collection into the trash lol if the only option was reseller into the trash it goes
Don’t sell your stuff to a scummy reseller. All they care about is themselves and no one else.
Same here. I would rather burn my entire collection and destroy it before I let one of these slimy mfs get their hands on my stuff.
i agree, they provide nothing to society and their existence is meaningless
I don't see the point in buying Super Mario 3 for 1k just to display it in the living room as a conversation piece...how socially inadequate do you have to be
For sure, the value of a piece doesn't make a collection significant to a person unless it means a lot to them. Most of us grew up playing the common stuff like Mario, Metroid, Pokemon and stuff like that. There's no sense in having a sealed copy of it. Collections should be valued by sentimental value. No one needs to own the entire Wii library lol.
IT is pretty much a show off item. Like hey i got this and paid this much cause im rich, a status symbol basically. When i buy a game, i want to buy it so i can play not to be used as a status symbol.
Are people actually paying 1k for SMB3!? I haven't watched the entire video yet. SMB3 is one of the best selling games of all time. It shouldn't even be close to 100
@@subtledemisefoxSadly Yes
@@Bird-Birdy-Loveyeah but those aren't the only options. Be a greedy reseller or display video games. Some of us actually want to get our old collections back and play them. The greedy resellers take advantage of that and charge way too much for something they got cheap.
‘Nobody gives a fuck’ best thing ever lol
''money oh money,how I love thee!' -collectors.
Resellers can't deny that they answer to the powerful duo of eBay and Price Charting.
This is Why i Can't Hoard Video Games into My Collection Anymore, cuz There's No Deals Left For Us Collector's 😂😅
I feel your pain
I buy collections, but what i don't do is lowball the shit out of people like Phoenix resale and Collector's Luck. I offer 60-65% of pricecharting value which is a very fair offer. I have to buy collections to get the games I want as any decent deals are scooped up right away. In my area everyone is a video game reseller.
Yeah exactly and there's still plenty of profit left over to make it worth your while. That's a good way to do business. .
There’s hardly any money to be made buying at 60-65%. After fees and shipping, that’s like 50% return on investment, which isn’t great if you’re dealing with several items (ie hundreds). Plus, buying at these prices doesn’t allow for a little wiggle room for errors in inventory (ie seller has non working games sold as working).
@MrMario995 it's not all about the money. I don't need to double up on everything. 65% is the top I pay if the collection isn't filler titles with a few gems mixed in
@@nickpapagiorgio2253 that’s good on you man. More than fair.
Can't survive paying 65% of games anymore.. mark going down 😅
We're watching a grown ass man who FILMED HIMSELF cry on camera cuz someone got a good deal on video games on fb marketplace 😭😭😭
Hey man, I didn't cry lol.
Hard disagree with you Steve. You called out Phoenix Resale for using his TH-cam clout to clean out a convention before it even opened the first day. Yes that's pretty scummy, but this dude just paid what people asked on Marketplace. Anyone can do it. Anyone can also look up what stuff is worth with a simple Google/Ebay search.
You're telling me if you found Earthbound out in the wild for cheap that you'd tell them what it's worth before buying it? Come on, that's BS.
Not to mention this guy is a collector unlike some other TH-camrs, so he'll do what we all do if we're game hunting. Buy a lot and keep what you want, sell off the rest. I don't get the hate.
I work full-time out of the house and still game hunt plenty. Anyone can do it. Just take a couple minutes to scroll while you're in the bathroom.
I'd buy Earthbound for cheap and flip it for sure. But I wouldn't make it a full time habit and post it on TH-cam lol. As I've said plenty times before, and I'm sure you know this by now too since you've watched a good bit of my videos that I don't have an issue with collectors that casually resell their games. But full timers promoting reseller culture on TH-cam I do have a problem with.
@@steviefreakinc Haha oh wow a lot has changed since the last month when I made this comment. Let's just say there's a reason why I'm not defending him anymore. Not ready to go into more info yet, but I'm fully Team Steve now.
@@DP12321 Welcome to the family *opens arms*
what's the point of buying something just to let it collect dust? LAME
Resellers are just greedy people
I always wondered what the people that sold this stuff for cheap think of the flex videos that are put up afterwards.
The majority of them probably don’t watch TH-cam lol.
I’m sad this guy is in my city but luckily hasn’t spoiled any deals I’ve picked up. You’ll notice he never offers more than asking, so when a good deal pops up on fb, I’m always quick to respond either how serious I am and that I’m paying the asking price. Helps ensure a reseller don’t get “first dibs” as they like to say.
i put a gamecube and 22 games on facebook for 300 i can't tell you all the scammers who messaged me or resellers trying to get me to sell for under 75 saying it for there kid or the have to drive over an hour.meanwile on the profile there charging 3 times the ebay rate for garbage and what this new thing asking if something is for sale then blocking the seller right after. I think some people play games then offer a low price like there gonna save you when their the one pulling the shit the whole time.
omg I love you! This is how I feel about resellers at estate sales. No respect at all! Checking prices in front of the family, making huge messes, haggling, etc. It makes me so angry and physically ill.
Oh yeah with a lot of these resellers, they leave a mess behind because they're only interested in their own thing. It's their world. lol
And this is why I emulate alot of retro games on my Steam Deck and PC. I'm not paying inflated prices on these games at all. I only buy the older games, if I find them at a good price.
I emulate on PC mostly. I just hate to see so many people get charged such a high price that collect
@@steviefreakinc I agree with ya dude.
Same I'll buy if it's a bargain.i am not paying 60 dollars retro games our more.
I never understood porch pick up , that’s an easy way for ppl to take your shit and NOT pay. In my area, guaranteed you won’t find that 50 under the mat.
Oh yeah same here. Especially the place I used to live right before my current lol
We need more reseller vs reseller vids😂
It's important to remember there are two sides to the equation. The resellers who lists their games as "overpriced," and the buyer willing to pay that price. If the games were overpriced, then why did they sell? New listings pop up on eBay all the time for acceptable prices. It takes a little bit of focus and determination and you, too, can buy desirable Nintendo games for very reasonable prices.
Ultimately I don't really feel like it's fair to call these folks all kinds of names and paint them like the scum of the earth, pretending like they've somehow committed some grave sin. they're trying to get by just like everyone else. At the end of the day, this dude is making a few hundred bucks (after fees/shipping). That's really not that much. It's barely rent. Clearly reselling is working or they wouldn't be doing it. Buyers are lining up.
There are way bigger issues in the world than focusing on video game resellers. idk
It’s just for entertainment purposes bro. You’re right, there are definitely worse issues in the world. But even the reseller in the video says prices on games are going up. That’s because of people like him buying all of the good deals and charging those prices online. The games wouldn’t be so expensive if they weren’t out there like vultures taking all of the deals. Clearly the games aren’t really expensive, otherwise he’d have no business. It’s a false price hike that real gamers have to pay because of reseller culture.
I'd like to see him do a video on the housing market. "Why should I pay $500,000 for this house when it used to be worth $100,000?"
@@DP12321 Don’t even get me started on the housing market lol
@@steviefreakinc lol 💔 it's heart breaking.
Haha do you not understand that the ‘resellers are trying to get’ by at the expense of ACTUAL COLLECTORS.
Resellers in general are scum especially the ones that low ball at garage sales lol
Agree 100 percent. I've thought the same thing about every reseller, they're bottom feeders hoping to find an ignorant or bleeding heart seller, and rely on that exclusively. They're the worst people on earth. Mobile pawn shops
''JUsT EmUlAtE!'' people cry,while forgetting the game lag,crashing and other issues that may have,etc. Ah yes,enjoy a laggy rom that can crash at any time instead of an original game that is less likely to bug out as often.Makes sense -_-
Another issue with emulation is choice fatigue. Or if you get stuck on a certain level, there’s a good chance on emulation that you just give up and go on to the next game. But when you own a psychical copy, you’re more inclined to give it all of your efforts because you spent money on it. At least that’s how it is for me.
Love how the reseller wants to get it cheap as possible but charge max as possible main reason I don't buy retro anymore new stuff all the way and I don't regret it since remasters are coming out
Basically corporate
I agree.good old times at Hollywood game stores, games used to be 5 dollars and used good game.
I absolutely love this video. Resellers are such scumbag pieces of shit and aggressively ruin retro gaming and things have just gotten so so bad. Good deals are gone in mere hours. As someone who has collected games since high school in the late 90's I am disgusted by what these people have done with a once fun and affordable hobby.
Me too. $100 used to get you a stack of goodies. You can still find a good lot for that price now but it'll mostly be sports and filler.
I remember getting pop n music gb animated melody for the gameboy color for 3$ the game now goes for 55$ on ebay cartridge only
Lmao as much as i love watching the greedy resellers videos, i love seeing you shit on them too
It’s a passion of mine :)
Somebody mad because they can't get to the sale fast enough?
I disagree with your outlook. Im a personal liquidator. I give people quick cash for the unwanted items. We assume all the risk associated with selling online (such as scams and fraud). We pay for the storage space for these items to sit on our shelves for months at a time. Then we provide buyers with cheaper products from trustworthy and reliable sellers. Why shouldn't I be compensated for providing this service?
You can be compensated but someone shouldn’t be making 1000% profit
This vid bought back some memories, I used to be heavy into collecting games but then I realised most of the stuff that I wanted like DBZ Budokai tenkaichi 3, god hand, gta vice city Stories ,silent hill games and such were way out of my reach.
That until I got a pc, and honestly haven't looked back since.
I hear ya man. Those games ain’t worth 100s of dollars for the fun they provide. I don’t care how good a game is haha
here is a solution, hear me out, just stop fucking buying retro games at 200$ for like a year and just load an emulator or buy a repro, if you want prices to go down, demand has to go down, the supply can't go up for something that isn't being made anymore.
most of those are on the switch online service already anyways, you don't have to set up anything.
b-b-b-but the original experience!!! well then buy your 700$ "not for resale" cartridge and stop complaining about reselers when you are the ones funding their bussiness.
I remember picking up a holo Majora's Mask for $15. It was lost in a move, but they go for $100 and upwards now. Super frustrating if you're looking to restore a piece of childhood and it's marked tf up
Yep games prices goes up, because these greedy people keeping buying
I don't think gba carts are worth over 1 thousand🤷♀ at least,they shouldn't be.
Nobody gives a f*** Steve you had me dead bro lol 😂
Lol it’s true though!
@@steviefreakinc yeah it is he used nostaglia to make himself look decent
these people-mr krabs obsessing over money.
It's all a joke to them
He probably lives at home with his mommy.
Just came across ur vids, keep doing the lords work my guy 🙌
Thank you bro!
I can give this guy the credit for cleaning the surface of these things at least. I don't know if he went through, did a tear down, and really cleaned anything the way it should be before he screws someone on eBay over with a premium price. Also, I think I saw that there are people working on the problem of DK64 and the expansion pak "requirement" with the intent to possibly patch the games ROM even so it doesn't even need it. It's not as popular as Mario64 because it's collectible setup is tedious say the least so I haven't seen too much about the effort. With an everdrive, or the ability to flash a new ROM to a stock cart, fixing these old games could make the need for expensive RDRAM(they don't manufacture that anymore and it's proprietary which is reason for the expense) addons a thing of the past. I would love nothing more than to see these resellers numbers sink on that particular piece of "useless" tech on eBay. For Dk64 it allegedly just makes a crash happen less infrequently to make the game playable for longer.(IDK everything about it really, but I do hope those who do fix it for the sake of people who want to play the game on original hardware and not pay an extra 70USD or whatever)
Yeah he’s not too bad compared to some others I saw after this guy
I want to say this people like phoenix resale gets on my nerves with there low balling scamming tactics and then the clown never responds to comments which I can’t stand when people call you out for something we expect you to say something and not be a buster about it but I want to say this Steve listen up I have a question for you if you went to a yard sale got a Super Nintendo with a lot of games for let’s say $50 with no low balling but you resale it for over $100 you would have to be dumb to be mad or say something about that because you got a good deal on it it doesn’t make sense to get mad at somebody just because they got a good deal this is weird to me that you would say such a thing I don’t if you know what profit means in business what’s wrong with making money and hustling
Flipping something on occasion is totally fine. Because that means I found a good deal. But the problem that I have with it, is these dudes are doing this as a full time job. So they're not finding one good deal and being happy with it. They're scavenging all resources to take as many deals as they can to make a living. Which practically eliminates any positive enjoyment for anyone else that lives in their area to game hunt for collecting.
So why is it an issue? If they don’t want to put the work into sell it, I will.
There’s a right way and wrong way to sell and treat people. One of my more recent videos is a better example of scum. Titled reseller robs 2 ladies of a gaming gold mine. Check that one out. Makes Collector’s Luck look pretty decent in comparison lol
@@steviefreakinc I understand that but no one’s forcing these people to sell stuff. Vendors selling stuff to Phoenix don’t have to give him discounts. I’m sure if they didn’t like the price they would have declined. When you run a business, to think you would not charge top $ is crazy. Every business out there is doing the same thing. Buy cheap sell high. At the end of the day if they are selling, I’m buying. Not my responsibility for how others price stuff.
(Not coming at you just trying to civilly have a discussion)
@@EightyDD This same argument and points come up in my comment section all of the time so I’m not surprised you feel that way. I give my responses in my videos but I’ll go ahead and respond now to save you some time. It’s not necessarily the person they’re buying from that they’re ripping off. In the video I suggested earlier that reseller definitely rips those people off. But usually it’s the EBay market/buyers they’re ripping off. There’s a reseller every square inch of America now so the real collector’s, meaning people buying games to play and enjoy can’t find games for cheap and are strong handed into buying on EBay. That’s one example. Now another is “market value” market value is subjective because one could argue that the price these resellers find at yard sales is the actual market value and resellers have inflated the price because of this. Now from a moral standpoint, I could say that no one buying something for $1 should turn around and sell it for $200. I mean, why not sell it for $100 and help the entire gaming community as a whole? Because a sale like that would affect Pricechartinng and EBay and over time help bring the cost down. But nope, that won’t happen because of greed. And that’s why game collecting and hunting is dead for collectors. Unless they’re rich.
Lol dude blames basic resellers for price increases and not goliaths like DKoldies and Lukiegames raping people and convincing the normies Mario 64 is a 75-80$ game. I don't think the folks grabbing carts for five bucks at a yard sale and selling at $30 to FMV is "driving up the prices".
I blame DKOldies and Lukiegames too. Sorry you thought otherwise lol
Leaving another comment on this after watching it again...
I HATE these idiots who have these "collections" that they just add games to, they are NEVER going to play these games. They will sit on a shelf and collect dust, because news flash, shelves collect dust!! Instead of giving them to someone who WANTS them that will PLAY them...i have a small collection, every game in my little collection i play or i will play. Ive been really into the ps3 lately, and if i see a game i want to play and its a game i dont see much or its in fresh condition, ill pick it up. And after i beat it, I usually sell or trade them for another game i want.
The whole "flex video" thing is so true. I've had people tell me "oh you're just jealous and you don't make videos so you cant say anything"... I DON'T need to make videos. I dont need to flex and boast. Ill text my best buddy if i get a good deal but i dont have time to make videos even if i wanted to. I hate giving channels like his views, but they are so funny to watch.
I actually bought a lot of ps1 games for 40 euros a couple of months ago. Most were copies bootlegs but 7 of em were originals one of em was an original copy of Resident Evil Directors Cut and i bought the lot with that game as it is worth that much on its own let alone the other 6 games original in the lot too and the bootlegs.
A few of the bootlegs had disk rot and told her i wont keep em and the seller was worried cause now she thought i would reduce the price and i told her dont worry i will still buy the same lot at the same price cause, the games that are still there are plenty and it was already a major fair deal and i wont push my luck.
As a collector it is great to buy things below market value that is true but if i find something among a pile that are worth more i wont try to reduce the price further or use an excuse that these are bad, my fortune is already great and i will not spit at it with pettiness.
Its really RARE to find good deals on ps1 games anymore (Especially where i live) But it is always great to find a lucky find on occasion.
Blood love your content you be having me rollin 😂
Thank you dude!
It ain't that serious.
Imagine calling someone a scumbag over 1 copy of a video game😭
It's not one game. It's 1000s of games.
What are the moral forms of video game reselling?
Too much to type right now. But ultimately being fair. But people consider fair to be different things.
I really wanna throw hands with these kinds of folks, reselling retro consoles for an expensive price is such a dick move.
you think video game resellers are bad, how about trading card resellers. I've seen a guy hangout in Walmart for the employee to shelf the cards and then when the employee is done, just take a buggy and push all the boxes into it. Ruins it for the kids.
But people gotta stop selling to dudes pulling out a go-pro to film the pickup. C'mon just take the score and move on.
I wanted to get back into sports and Pokémon cards a little over a year ago but I backed out after dealing with similar behaviors. It pisses me the heck off. I feel bad for the kids too. Because I’m out here like a normal dude wanting one or two packs of cards and there’s not even that. Lol
Everyone hating would take the deal. Its what people are selling it for.
Yeah but we would buy it and keep it. Not make it worse on the next guy.
STEVE hope youre having a good day my man. LMFAOOO neon green gauges WiTh My GoPrO
Man I remember getting Sega Saturn games in 08 for 35-40 max unless it was super rare like guardian heroes or burning rangers but even guardian heroes i paid 75 for but in current time sega saturn game prices are hella dumb literally some are in the 1000s. So I emulate those really expensive titles on Xbox like hyper duel, panzer series and burning rangers.
That was the good ole days lol
I don't really understand reselling. The reason I collect video games is to play the games. I don't collect games for how expensive they are, if they mean something to me. I know for damn well looney tunes for the wii is not an expensive game but that is my childhood.
I’m with ya bud. I wanna know how fun the games are, not how much they cost.
@steviefreakinc its just greedy at that point, I don t want to spend half my paycheck I worked my ass off for just because I want to play conkers bad fur day or earthbound. It's so hard to find a affordable copy and it's because of resellers that the prices are high.
@@SomePersonStories I hear ya. I’ve been buying a lot of common games for my collection. All fun stuff I want too. They can keep the expensive games. The opportunity will arise for those eventually
Its pretty simple, people resell to make money for a living & also to fund their collection if they have one.
@@SomePersonStories Dont hate the player, hate the game buddy. The market makes the price due to the supply & demand, when you have a high demand & a low supply prices will get high especially with rare games that have a limited quantity. You will see this with all sort of items, toys, vehicles, cutlery, clothes, online game items & so on.
Tell me, do you really expect something like a very rare vintage gucci shirt from the 40s thats no longer made would be $5-$10? Of course not, thats silly thinking if you expect everything to be cheap because you want it too, you're collecting desirable vintage items that are no longer made so its not going to be cheap lmao if you dont have alot of money or want to spend alot dont collect & then complain about a rare item being expensive especially when you can just emulate anyway if you really want to play it
They suck so fucking bad dude. Its one thing if theh wake up early and go to garage sales, whatever, I just gotta be faster. Did it a couple times myself and went early and waited down the street.
But I've heard many go to garage sales before the start time, sit right there in front of their sale and watch them setting up, even seen one guywalk right up to people as theyre still setting up to try and wiggle their way in before the sale even starts.
My buddy told me he went to one and was a little early and the people werent even outside yet. He saw a dude go right up to their door and ring their bell to ask about video games....dude.. like have some fucking respect for people. 🤦
I resell games & crts TVs try to but very limited amount of items
Since I ain't got thousands to buy and resell things
So far doesn't sell anything it's fine
I don't like resellers of games I pay high prices and sell for about the same most of time unless its something really nice like rental game
If i dont jack up prices its gonna sell to a rich man in Spain from where i am
I've built a good portion of my collection on marketplace so I am grateful for those deals but yeah I do agree resellers are ruining the retro game market.
You are really salty bro. I work 40 hours a week and resell on the side. Resellers make money sure, but they also rescue a lot of stuff from being trashed and get them to new homes. It's all about perspective my brother. Try to be more positive and I think you'll find your life to be more rewarding. Peace be with you.
My videos are just entertainment. I post it in my about me. I don’t let stuff get to me like that haha

@@danielmills7199 thanks lol and welcome to the channel!
This is the reason why I use emulators and then these old consoles might not work forever anyway and then stuck with these expensive paperweights. And on emulators they can last forever
Same same. I like playing on the switch with the stuff they have on there. Helps me with decision making since there’s not an entire rom set to choose from on my pc.
Mini console also I'll buy
I just subbed to you because of this video…thank you for your service. I’m 40 years old.

Oh dang, where did his ex call him out?
theres resellers and then there are hustlers. so many butthurt hustlers in the comment section 🤣
Great video as always , I think a lot of us collectors are also resellers . In my experience with collecting , you have to resell so you don’t hurt your pocket too much when trying to buy the higher end games or do trades with other collectors. Steve what is your opinion if you find a high end item at a thrift store and resell it ? I mean is it one’s fault if the thrift store doesn’t do their research on the price of a particular item .
One off or occasional sales aren’t a big deal. It’s these full time resellers abusing the market that’s the issue. Then they go on TH-cam and promote the behavior to a huge audience. Then you end up with the way it is now.
@@steviefreakinc what about the thrift store part of the question ?
@@GamersAtticshow Thrift Stores typically don’t research value of items (Some definitely do nowadays) but like I said if you casually flip items, you’re not hurting the market so much.
@@steviefreakinc I usually find all kinds of items to flip to buy my video games , I believe that’s the best way to do it to not hurt your work income . Some thrift stores do research and some don’t . It takes time to go to one and research items and even then that item might not sell . But yeah what I do agree with you that what that first guy did is scummy and buy a whole lot like that to resell . But I also think it’s important as a collector that If you want stuff , that you show up on time , early as possible to find the good deals .
@@steviefreakinc Funny thing is if there werent resellers games would cost alot more as there wouldnt be alot of them in the wild therefore their supply will be low causing their prices to be high. The more people you have selling one game the cheaper it would be as people would be undercutting each other to try and sell their item. So really you should want more resellers so prices go down.
And this is why i had to buy a repro copy of f'n conkers bad fur day...
Awesome video Steve keep up the great content
Thanks man!
Really enjoy your description of these leeches of society. Enjoy it!
Glad to be of service my man!
😂 “with my go pro” freaking hilarious my man, excellent video as always and nothing is worse than reseller scumbags
That’s super Nintendo deal looks exactly like the one I just bought off of eBay but it could have been from him because I paid 60 bucks
Damn lol
LOL "stfu and just tell us how much money you made!!!" 😂
Haha
People will always pay for something they want no Matter what it costs. This is not only happens with video games, sneakers, comic books, jewelry and everything you can think of. There are Jordan sneakers that cost $5000 and are still going up. Something is only worth what people are willing to pay whatever the reason may be. Nobody can stop that from happening. That’s the way human nature is.
You ever just kinda hope one of these resellers shows up at the wrong house? Sitting on their porch waiting for the them to wake up at 5am only to hear the click clack when the door opens. 😂🤣
Naaah I don’t want them to get hurt other than maybe a powder slap to the face lol
All re-sellers are
the customers still gets what they want at the end
Why do we always hate on others
Hustle the way you live
Just because people can afford to pay more doesn't mean they deserve to. We're talking about video games here
not if the game is fake or doesn't work,then they were conned
Making videos on deals they make and cheap out the seller. Sell for double to their fans and followers on TH-cam like Phoenix reseller and Retro Rick …bums. Great video
Absolutely, I can't believe people buy from them. They must not know better even though it's right in their face. Every time one of these guys says "The price of games keep going up" well they're not going up for the resellers who are sourcing these games for dirt cheap and selling them online for 200% or more profit.
I don’t understand why people are getting mad at people for hustling and making that bread you guys need to go to marketing class because a lot of these people in the comments are clueless about it now I will say some of these resalers have been low balling people on purpose and listing prices for high for no reason and that gets me so mad when people do that
See the reply I just put on your other comment. :p
So I saw someone selling a Macintosh classic with printer, external disk drive, original manual and floppy disks all for 100. I got to the guy and saw it was in immaculate condition, I couldn't just give him 100, I told him "look, just the Macintosh in this condition can get you 300 so I'll give you 350 I can't take all this for just 100" he was so happy about that
That's fantastic dude. That's how it's done. Do you still have the Mac Classic? I bet it still works great lol
Hahaha 🤣 keep ripping these guys
Well there is another point! Get up earlier be there quicker than your competition he’s right first come first serve, and people will enjoy those things they get sold to collectors all over the world on eBay! And he’s a collector he keeps what he wants and sells the rest to fund his habit who cares?
I appreciate you hate watching my library bro. Thanks
I wonder who ur next victim will be lol
W mans steve
awesome as always man, these reseller scumbags are truly disgusting. Here they are extremely rude and shitty towards anyone who beats them in the deal or if you wanna sell something they shit on you for selling something for 60% of the price charting value instead of selling for 30% or less so they can make a hefty profit. theyre truly the worst and wish the worst upon them.
They’re a plague to the gaming community
@@steviefreakinc agreed
@@steviefreakinc must of them are bullys to get what they want but they usally wont show you that
I’ve always envied this guy because he’s taken advantage of so many people like this for years. This isn’t the worst I’ve ever seen from him though.
If you check out some of his older videos from 4 5 years ago. He constantly kept getting EarthBounds, Bad Fur Days, a bunch of rare game boxes in bundles for practically nothing.
To be honest, it just makes me upset watching those videos. It makes me wonder if those people that sold that stuff to him over the years has watched his videos and saw that he massively ripped them off.
I wonder that too with a lot of resellers. Especially the ones recording their actual interaction with the seller. They have to be asking if they're TH-camrs and stuff. I would be pissed if I was them and found out that I was being used like that. Because not only does a reseller make money off of the stuff they get for cheap, but then they make money off of TH-cam views for doing it.
Yeah, and I try to find stuff like this out in the wild because I genuinely want it. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a deal this good on anything I’ve boughten.
@@joshuawick5382 I know what you mean. Most of the time the deals are all gone already. That’s why it’s bull
But yeah, you’re right. He’s the scummiest ever.
I understand selling a few things here and there to buy some stuff you want. But this dude is buying up all the bundles when he already has all this stuff. Dude, just let other people buy this stuff so they can enjoy these.
Man, great video! pricecharting creates an artificial expectation that is not real. These physical games will be worth very little in a year or so. I feel the retro gaming bubble has popped as seen by the wata / sealed games auctions plummeting. I say this as an avid retro gamer/collector, fwiw. Don't buy these games right now and let the market go down, is just my take. Thanks Steve for the awesome video and commentary++
Thanks for the kind words and I agree with you. The bubble is popping
I’m here because of my guy albert.
GG on the upload looked forward to seeing more.
I agree it's shitty how these sellers over price their games but you're being a hater in this one. I know it's for entertainment but how you going to be mad because a guy gets up early? Lol Or because they lady was selling low and he scored a deal? That's just called hustling brother and it's what successful people do...the problem lies in the buyers caving to these prices... people just need to have some will power and let these guys sit on those stacks of games for a while.
EDIT'
I will say you got jokes lol😂 cheers
Just saw this comment, sorry about that! Hope you still check out my stuff from time to time. I try to explain myself here and there in my videos as to why I have issues with the person I'm doing the video on but I guess sometimes I focus more on the insults and less on the reasoning behind it. I'll try to do better in future videos
I am a reseller. I respect your view. Keep on posting :)

You was chopping his ass lmaooo 😂
No mercy for the wicked
Vulture vs Vulture - that guy also had the nerve to have a shirt on that says "collector" STFU!! LOL
Lol!
love you dom daddy steve supreme
;)
The salt is real.
Love these videos man you've taught me alot on how scummy resellers can be. I spent like 80 dollars on a copy of luigis mansion on the gamecube. These resellers are really ruining the market and making us pay fortune.
It's tragic man, it really is.
fr bro screw these greedy lowballing scumbags they don't care about nobody else they are just scumbags who want money
The resellers arent making the prices caleb lmao the market is making the prices, simple supply & demand. You will see this with everything, toys, clothes, speakers, headphones, vehicles, dentist equipment, online game items such as CSGO. The older & rarer the items, the more desirable they're & the prices get high.
@vlonethuggin2384 no it's both, resellers eat up the supply and so buyers often have to pay outrageous prices because they are left with little options because resellers. To put it in simple terms. Yes there always been whales with more money than brains but they are such a minority that they don't make a big difference on their own. But yes resellers are the bigger problem as I said they eat up the supply and anyone who even half paid attention to basic high school economics knows those who hold the supply affect the prices. Not the buyer
Tell it like it is bro, excellent new vid Steve
Thanks dude!
Another banger from Steve!!! Would you be willing to buy me a share of $SCHD?
Lol buy you a share of stock?
@@steviefreakinc yes, SCHD
@@johnpuntillo1105 I can’t man. That breaches Ninja Code.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
You really didn't even scratch the surface on this guys tactics in his videos. I think your head would explode if you had to go back and watch them but some highlights are: Buying obviously stolen donations from a Goodwill employee in back of a Goodwill, buying from a guy who is selling because he is admittedly on hard times for dirt cheap (he easily could have doubled his asking price and still doubled up), getting jealous when he was at a sale with a friend who found a good game and he straight up begs it off him. You think he just gets up early and to plan his sale route? Nope, he actually messages everyone that posts a garage sale on marketplace to ask if they have any video games, that's where he finds the real victims. Worst of all are his switch trade deals. He advertises the trades non stop of facebook just trolling for someone who does not know what they have to rip off on a one sided trade.
Oh wow, it seems like you've been doing reconnaissance on this guy for a while. You're right lol I haven't scratched the surface but I'm not surprised to hear all of this lol
To be fair these deals are posted right up on Facebook marketplace and it doesn’t take any time for somebody to check their local market place so you can’t blame this guy for the sweet deals. He’s getting these people are putting their stuff up for sale and whether or not, they have knowledge on it or not that’s what they’re putting it up for and he’s not even trying to haggle the price, I mean how many times are you gonna go somewheres where they have a set price? It’s a super great deal and you say you know what you’re charging to Little let me give you more money come on nobody’s gonna do that. I agree with a lot of what you say, but I’m going to disagree with you here. I feel like this is just looking for something new for content, but let’s stick to documenting the online stores and Chase for the right price DK oldies Phoenix resells the real scum bags now maybe this guy is a scum bag but I’m not seeing it so far.
A lot has changed in 5 months, I don’t really talk about Collector’s luck anymore for the exact reason you said at the end. Bigger fish to fry
@@steviefreakinc I just found your channel and I’m really enjoying your content
@@russell11fitzgerald Thank you! :)
Greatest juy of last day seeing a scalper lowsell ps5 less than a store
