I bought the wildest collection to date at the GameStore! Tons of super rare Pokémon games and loads of quality Nintendo titles! #Nintendo #Pokemon #VideoGames
I’m 1 minute in and I can tell you he’s going to regret it. Let’s sell now at 50% value to get it back later when it’s harder to get for more than market is now. Yeah ok
that's all I could think as well. I consider selling off some of my personal collection all the time, but I just know I'm going to want to buy it all again later, so it's really not smart to do it. Sounds like he's a good hunter/reseller though so maybe he can do it later in life as well.
@@codyrathman my guess is he sold nothing. He brought it in to show for Rick to do a video. They know each other from what he said. Probably just a staged video.
I’ve made the mistake of selling/trading some things to a local game shop and I’m now regretting it. And it’s nowhere near the scale of this dude’s collection.
Was thinking the same thing but doing it with his daughter will make memories. It's more of the hunt that's the fun. I like finding things rather than having them. Plus he said he's going to get things that he really wants.
Dude you will regret this so much! I sold my entire full collection of Nintendo power magazines a few years back and totally regret it now. Yes I am rebuying them back now for a way higher price, but there is something missing, they were not mine. My labels are not there, the condition is nowhere’s near the condition I had mine in. I feel the nostalgic feeling is missing.
I don't think he had a choice looks to me he came into some financial difficulty and need some fast cash but didn't want to say it on screen. I would say he's a collector that mostly likely resell to keep collection costs down like the lot of us but need money to help support his family.
Dude straight told me we offer 40% and I was damn I’m not a crackhead and give me my games offered 60 bucks on like 250 dollars of n64 games I’m not that desperate but some people are…this guy will regret it
So the whole collection was a bit under 10K, ya know i would actually of thought it would of been more then that, but i forget sometimes a valuable retro game is like 60 - 80 bucks and then super rare is like 150ish, retro games have gone up in price but compared to some other hobbies its still relatively cheap. There is much more then 10,000 dollars worth of entertainment there.
@@Trick0ut man idk where you are booking your vacation. 😁 But that's certainly a lot more than I'd spend. I think the comparison doesn't work that well unless you measure your vacation in entertainment. I would rather view it as 1000 movie tickets or 200 games.
@@HustlerHorstRuediger that's true, but in this case you are getting something that should retain if not increase in value. Also the fact he got all that at 57% its value, if that collection was in front of me i would of also bought it at that price and would of either kept it or flipped it. Thats just amazing value.
Fake prices bro, those cib gameboy and gameboy color Pokémons by themselves market value adds up to $2000. His collection seemed to be worth at least $20,000, dude bamboozled him big time
Great collection! Your store is Incredibly fortunate to receive such an awesome collection at that price point. However, i think all of us watching this video knows, to rebuild that collection again, its going to cost him triple than what he originally paid for it.
He's going to regret trading all these games in. He's going to want to start over with his daughter but by then the games he traded in especially the Pokemon ones will be 3 to 4 times what he originally paid for them.
Yeah, he was saying that he could just get all this back later. I mean, maybe, but not for less than an arm and a leg lol. I'd never sell a collection like this if I didn't need the money.
Video game collecting is addicting, man. He’ll want it all back in a year. That’s what happened to me when I traded all my stuff in. Regretted it not soon after because it just felt like a part of me was missing.
I sold my comic book collection filled with major keys for way less to pay off my student loans and I have some regrets but now I outright am debt free from loans. So it’s a good trade off in a lot of ways.
@@gregorychiasson7739 Ive been selling a ton of my books and comics , mainly star wars and idk I feel like a lot of it is just shit. Like its nice to look at but theres a difference between essential and just extra. Idk what comics you like but something like sandman and kingdom come are must haves but comics like new 52 justice league or something are just meh.
I've been watching Retro Rick for a while, and I really enjoy his videos hunting for deals at flea markets and such, but these new videos just break my heart. I recently sold my childhood mint CIB copies of Pokémon red, blue, yellow, silver, gold and, crystal for around $500 each to a serious collector. I know they will be treasured. I used the money to pay some bills and buy other retro games and collectables that will give me more joy since I know that I'll never be picking up a Gameboy again to play Pokemon. With that being said, I find it incredibly hard to believe that all of these items added up are only worth around $10,000. Complete in box retro systems go for hundreds especially in such good condition. The same can be said for CIB games. It seems like Retro Rick has now become a part of the dark side of retro collecting, the mark-up reseller. I can understand that he's running a business, and in order to make money you need to lowball the people coming in who are selling items. There's just no other way to do it as your profit is entirely dependent on how much you pay for the stock that you sell. The thing that gets me is that Rick would never pay these prices himself for those games if he went into another shop that was selling them for the same price. Sad.
At triple the price he can do it again. Good luck. On the other hand, being a Dad and commiting to collect with your kids is an honorable thing. Its just way more expensive.
Should've 100% kept the rarer retro items & re-bought the more common items. The Gameboy & DS Pokemon Boxed Collection was probably worth around $2,500-$3,000+ in itself especially for the condition it was all in. Kind of tough to see a collection to this degree sell for $5,400 with the condition everything was in & nostalgia being one of the stronger driving forces for investments.
I have a 3 year old son. I would def not sell my entire collection, just to build it back. What my son and I do is add to the collection together now. Selling it just to track it all down again seems a bit crazy and very costly. I bet it will be an instant regret.
This reminds me of Tyler Esposito collecting games with his Dad back in the day. His Dad passed away in 2007. He sold his collection in 2018 (a decade after that). Tyler now collects games with his daughter Hallie (she’s about 10 years old).
All of the people saying he’ll regret it doesn’t realize this dude already gets it. Memories spent with his child is better than fawning over his collection.
Memories spent with his daughter playing his amazing collection of games and not selling it. Isn't that the point people. Him saying selling it and starting over buying all.this with his daughter is selfish and a front. Shame on him to use his daughter for his own greed.
I sold my huge retro collection to a local shop a couple years back. It hurt my soul for awhile 😂 then I got into pc gaming partnered with my steam deck & I just emulate everything. Literally everything in the palm of my hand now.
Damn this guy had a ridiculous collection. On top of that the condition of these items is immaculate. I don’t understand why would you sell it for a fraction of a price and say you are gonna try to buy it down the road. The items are already scarce and only going up in value. Unless the market tanks you will be a genius for letting this go now. Great content as always Retro. Love seeing content like this. People have some crazy collections
Always sad to see to a passionate collector having to sell off their collection I've had to sell my collection many times it sucks. Good luck trying to buy it back it can be done but will takes a lot of time of reselling to not break the bank.
When you can tell the thrill of the hunt is the biggest reason you collect. I totally get wanting to do that with your kids. I would have saved a few of those rare pieces though
Being a game collector as well.. watching this just made me want to cry.. I have way more stuff then what that dude has and I can't imagine me ever selling all my stuff.
Amazing collection but the idea of recollecting when his daughter is old enough while sounds cool I fear he’s going to be paying triple the price to get some of those gems back
Anyone else have the feeling he is going to start doing the whole "rust valley" thing and be the guy that buys alot more then he sells, then is hesitant to sell anything lol.
I think Rick should have all the items he deals with in store put back for sale in store. Otherwise his customers will never get the really cool rare stuff if he just keeps it in his collection.
My guess is this guy makes bank at his day job, he clearly understands how to collect it all again, and enjoys the hunt. So its probably not a big deal to sell it off for HIM. Sad thing to me is the guy couldn't spend a few days on ebay and get 85% of value, but also good to nurture those collector connections.
I would have easily given this guy $5,500 cash right now for all that. Some of those items are not only rare, but in near mint condition. By the time he wants to dive back in, those Pokemon games will have increased again. This is one of those regrets down the line, because you could have kept this as your collection, and collected new stuff with your daughter. Things she likes and relates too.
If you can get 50-60% of a return on a trade, that is a killer deal, when factoring in the hassle of selling on eBay, 15% eBay fees, and of course now getting taxed on anything past $600 in yearly sales. As others have said, I'm sure this was more of a friends deal - I doubt someone without connections is getting this kind of a value just walking into a game store.
Love these type of videos Rick 👍🏻 so cool to watch them old jews just come knocking on your doors. Please keep them vids with retro sellers going. Love your content so much love❤
If he doesn't need the money, why on earth would he do that! Especially if he wants it all back, hope he knows how hard it is to find that stuff in the wild. Poor guy lol
I think he just need money fast but said that so he would feel ashamed of coming into financial difficulty. You can still see he very much loves his games and has a passion for collecting so it not like he is burned out and is no longer passionate about the hobby. He a collector and mostly like knows how to resell so selling off his collection wouldn't be hard especially considering how mint some of those boxed stuff is he could easily get 10k if not more by selling it on his own. Anyway that my guess.
I always got into each console later in its life for price. I remember getting Pokémon yellow and upgrading to a game boy color then n64 Pokémon stadium
I sold everything to get through Covid. Every Pokémon game with working original save batteries (files from when I was a kid), and I had the cleanest used GBA and SP that I've ever seen. Most of the stuff I let go of I don't regret in the least bit, but clean gameboys and the original R/B/Y games were a mistake. I hope he finds them again!
Very questionable for him to sell such a stellar collection. I've been collecting for a long time, and with the way the market is on retro collecting I would only sell if I absolutely had to
I don't understand people... "I don't need the money I just want to restart the collection with my kid." I don't get it... Plus, to sell at 50-60% from market?!?! c'mon... That makes zero sense when you know what you have. Something is sus about this.
I would of never sold that stuff.... What a SOLID collection!! He is probably gonna end up regretting some of those trades... What an awesome collection!!!!!
I suspect he and his came into financial difficulty and needed the money other wise he could of sold his collection piece by piece and got top $ for it if he just wanted to sell it but judging how passionately he was talking about the games I think the sale was out of necessity to help support his family. I think that would be that hardest thing owning a game store seeing collectors having to sell off their entire emcollection due to financial reasons.
@@tonydavis6487 I mean he did say that, but what other reason would he sell? He said he's going to try buying it all back again, so its just an overall loss.
@@MrMario995 I mean.. I agree but who knows. He might not be that attached to the actual items and enjoys the thrill of the hunt. Me personally, I would love to have some of those items, especially considering the condition of them
Tbf if he wanted to sell it all individually it would take so much time and shipping. So he will take a small loss but overall instead money is better if that’s what he wants. As long as both parties happy nobody can bad mouth the deal :)
Good channel m8 enjoyed the video looks a amazing store amazing collection he was happy with the price thats the main thing I've got gell of a lot of Retro items like figures in boxes and the most things I collect is the 80s and 90s hand held games ive got about 109 hand helds now very hard to get now days a lot of them are one or 2 boxed mint as well took me about 3 years to collect them up ide neaver sell my retro games to hard to get most of them now days ive got 2 different tomy tromics games that you look though boxed I payed 1 pound for 1 of them and 1.60 pence for the other from a charity shop years a go ive got the saga game gear good condition paid 20 pound for that years a go to and the original game boy in the carry case with loads of games and magnifier glass only cost me 20 pound as well years a go it goes on and on matey ok 👍
If you need money....sell it yourself. No idea why he'd give all this up for that price. This guy got hosed so bad on this sale. I don't blame the buyer as it's a business. But dude...
It’s honestly a fair deal. If he sells it online, there’s fees and shipping.. plus time. Likely not many people that will be able to buy all of that locally at once.
@@kvn826 Fees and shipping don't nearly equate the difference in price. The time factor i can see that argument if someone is too lazy to list stuff themselves
I’m 1 minute in and I can tell you he’s going to regret it. Let’s sell now at 50% value to get it back later when it’s harder to get for more than market is now. Yeah ok
Instantly once he got home

Memories are more important than money
lol thats what i was thinking whats the point of that unless he just has a lot of fuck you money to throw around
$5400?! Man that is a HUGE come up for Rick… I really hope after the camera turned off he said “nvm, I’ll keep it all.”
Dude you will regret this so much! I sold my entire full collection of Nintendo power magazines a few years back and totally regret it now.

I feel the nostalgic feeling is missing.
I feel you. I still have most of mine, but a lot of the older mags are in poor condition. I'm not really sure if that is a normal thing.
I don't think he had a choice looks to me he came into some financial difficulty and need some fast cash but didn't want to say it on screen. I would say he's a collector that mostly likely resell to keep collection costs down like the lot of us but need money to help support his family.
How much did you get for the entire Nintendo Power collection?
Wow this guy seems just as awesome as his collection!
Rick just throwing the boxes around makes me nauseous haha 😂
If you ever have to shut the doors for good, you can just turn the place into a museum.
Just wanted to say that giving 50-60% of market value is pretty good for a game store. Both retro game stores here give you around 30%.
It was a very reasonable price indeed.
I agreed until he said he was going to keep most of it for himself. Lol.
He doesn’t give that much - be real.
20 percent where I'm from unfortunately
Dude straight told me we offer 40% and I was damn I’m not a crackhead and give me my games offered 60 bucks on like 250 dollars of n64 games I’m not that desperate but some people are…this guy will regret it

I would cry having to sell those... but they end up in very good hands
The fact that he gave Leaf Green to a customer for free was really nice of him ❤️. Pretty sure the customer was a kid too.
A shop where everything is mint or sealed that is traded in. No scrunched up boxes, or ripped labels. Everything glitters like gold lol.
Always sad to see to a passionate collector having to sell off their collection I've had to sell my collection many times it sucks. Good luck trying to buy it back it can be done but will takes a lot of time of reselling to not break the bank.
he said he wasn’t strapped for cash, rather just starting over. Sometimes the excitement of collecting is finding the item again.

Rick one year later.. "best i can do is one plush"
dude is gonna have a remorseful ride home
love your channel makes me want my own store
5000 for all of that is insane, literally just robbery at that point
I think Rick should have all the items he deals with in store put back for sale in store. Otherwise his customers will never get the really cool rare stuff if he just keeps it in his collection.
This makes me incredibly happy to see.
My goodness! All the good Nintendo stuffs. I can dig in some Pokemon games that I don’t have..
So I saw his shop was shipping, is there an online store somewhere?
Amazing collection. I would pay 60-75% value on easy flips, but I understand he has a brick and mortar store.
My guess is this guy makes bank at his day job, he clearly understands how to collect it all again, and enjoys the hunt. So its probably not a big deal to sell it off for HIM. Sad thing to me is the guy couldn't spend a few days on ebay and get 85% of value, but also good to nurture those collector connections.

Surprised the customer took that offer even more so using a store policy of 50%-60% to buy them keep for hi.self is a shady thing to do
Do you ever sell? How do you support everyone? Ebay?
Awesome video man 😎!
I would of never sold that stuff.... What a SOLID collection!! He is probably gonna end up regretting some of those trades... What an awesome collection!!!!!
I suspect he and his came into financial difficulty and needed the money other wise he could of sold his collection piece by piece and got top $ for it if he just wanted to sell it but judging how passionately he was talking about the games I think the sale was out of necessity to help support his family. I think that would be that hardest thing owning a game store seeing collectors having to sell off their entire emcollection due to financial reasons.
@@oisinmckellar3046 He said in the beginning that he wasn't in a bad financial spot and didn't need the money
@@tonydavis6487 I mean he did say that, but what other reason would he sell? He said he's going to try buying it all back again, so its just an overall loss.
@@MrMario995 I mean.. I agree but who knows. He might not be that attached to the actual items and enjoys the thrill of the hunt. Me personally, I would love to have some of those items, especially considering the condition of them
Wow Thats a great Collection
Always waiting for a video update regarding the game shop. Its addictive.
dude needs to keep some of it lol, pls make him
Tbf if he wanted to sell it all individually it would take so much time and shipping. So he will take a small loss but overall instead money is better if that’s what he wants. As long as both parties happy nobody can bad mouth the deal :)
As being this guy. I definitely agree!
The shop has some crazy stuff that's for sure
Good channel m8 enjoyed the video looks a amazing store amazing collection he was happy with the price thats the main thing I've got gell of a lot of Retro items like figures in boxes and the most things I collect is the 80s and 90s hand held games ive got about 109 hand helds now very hard to get now days a lot of them are one or 2 boxed mint as well took me about 3 years to collect them up ide neaver sell my retro games to hard to get most of them now days ive got 2 different tomy tromics games that you look though boxed I payed 1 pound for 1 of them and 1.60 pence for the other from a charity shop years a go ive got the saga game gear good condition paid 20 pound for that years a go to and the original game boy in the carry case with loads of games and magnifier glass only cost me 20 pound as well years a go it goes on and on matey ok 👍
This man will regret the decision he made this day for the rest of his life!
What do you want for the NES Advantage? And what is that SMB 3 thing in the back?

Oof $5400 took Jordan to the cleaners and robbed him blind he's definitely going to regret this no doubt.
If you need money....sell it yourself. No idea why he'd give all this up for that price. This guy got hosed so bad on this sale. I don't blame the buyer as it's a business. But dude...
It’s honestly a fair deal. If he sells it online, there’s fees and shipping.. plus time. Likely not many people that will be able to buy all of that locally at once.
Fair deal, now the shop owner has a ton of work to do to sell it .
Plus online there are scammers to deal with
Fair price, a store is not free. Lot of costs
@@kvn826 Fees and shipping don't nearly equate the difference in price. The time factor i can see that argument if someone is too lazy to list stuff themselves
Rick I love watching ur vids man ❤
