I remember when CEX used to have a ton of games like this, or even Gamestation before that, before GAME closed them down, i miss those days where you could go down to the high street, and get a couple of rare finds, even going back to original playstation.
Love the Gamecube section. I don't care what people say, the Gamecube is one of my favorite Nintendo systems of all time. So many great games and FANTASIC graphics for its time. I'm glad you guys have been expanding the Gamecube section. Keep it up! You guys also definitely picked up some bangers in that trade. For me, those 3 TMNT games alone would've made it all worthwhile for the love/personal value.
Rick, for old times sake, you should do a short series of goodwill and flea market hunting in 2024 featuring your old hunting crew. I watch and rewatch all your hunting videos as asmr videos. The whispering, the crunching of plastic, scooting of boxes. It's all very soothing. Anyway, I appreciate you reading my suggestion! Thanks for all the content.
As a book collector I would say your store is fine. Often the books come from Mom and Pop stores from around the world. If they can keep the doors open in this time it's a good sign. At the higher end and rarer niche the books market is super healthy right now. I've pick up a few in the dip (last 2 years) but now there is no dip or rarer for bargains. So I can say it has been a good investment too but I don't plan on selling them
I can confirm, trying to sell new (PC) games is basically impossible. You receive maybe a $3-$4 off retail price from your wholesaler, and people only want the game it seems the opening weekend it comes out. So then a couple weeks later, you end up having to sell the $59.95 game (that cost you $56.27 say) for $39.95 just to not completely lose $56. Then many times even then everyone who wants the game has already bought it, so it just sits on your shelf for a year and finally you sell it for $10. Not only that, but you have to buy like $1500 of products to get free shipping, so as Rick said, many times if you average out shipping on 6-8 games you might break even *if* you sell them all for full retail. Plus usually, games will be on back order and the big stores get them opening weekend and you won't even get them at all.
Guys I love pawn stars and gaming, so this is the best channel on youtube for me. Actually, I wish there was a live camera in your store so we can pop in and see what's up anytime.
Shout out to your Montgomery bud. I’m from Troy and used to go to Electronics Boutique and Software Etc all the time at the Montgomery Mall back in the late 80s/early 90s before it went downhill.
Yo Rick I know how much you love TMNT are you going to Northwest Arkansas comic con. The OG Turtle gang,shredder, bebop and rocksteady and splinter are all going to be there.
Dear Santa, I've been good most of the year, just ask my wife. All I want is ONE thing. Just. One. Thing. PLEASE bring me Chrono Trigger for snes. I'll leave you milk and cookies, and beer and medicinal Marijuana. Your choice. Love your believer, Justin
rick youd be better off hitting up a distributor or buying booster boxes of pokemon cards.. if you wanna start carrying a good amount of stock of them distributors would deff hook you up on lower prices than msrp
When will you guys put together an option for buying items seen in your videos? Some can't travel cross country but would love to support the store and our addiction. Any chance you do Paypal over the phone orders ?
Now are you an officially authorized Nintendo repair technician or just some guy who got a cool neon sign? I don’t wanna void the factory warranty on the NES I got in 1987, you think it's still covered?
Whats day is it? The 11th? No worries this video will come out in 11 more days. This hkw crazy things are. Keep up the great work Rick and your Morty minions
4:45 some Ducktales the ps3 version would ship without a disk & instead had a digital code to download the game. th-cam.com/video/hE8RgegCJ4o/w-d-xo.html

There has been SO much content lately and I am here for it
So glad you are enjoying it! We are all caught up on videos and are current...yes!!!!
You call this content?
Holy moly! I know that John! We performed in Eternity House together back in the day. I haven't seen him in at least 15 years. He is a great guy!
no way...that is wild!!!

Definitely best console imo.

The reason I stopped donating to those places. Re sellers are the scum of the world.
The other day I found A Boy and His Blob on NES in my closet. It’s probably not worth much but it’s one of my favorites
thats pretty rad!
Haven't even put up the Christmas tree yet
oh dang you behind hahaha
Pretty rare you see the sleeves. The store is looking good. Keep up on improving!
Thank you so much my friend...we are really liking how it is coming along!
Not the 1776 shirt lol
He must of traded in a Little Sansom for all those games.
12-22-23 update, I just went shopping for the wife at the last minute as I do every year. Hit the local game store, she'll be happy!
heck yes...hoping she loves her gift!

Thanks for making a video during a busy time.
of course...hope you enjoyed it!
Retro can't help but feed the beast 😂 no manners. no subtlety. You're not here to make a friend you're here to make a sale.

Got really excited for a second cause I thought Rick was wearing a Hartford Whalers cap, but it was only Nike
We only have 1 SpongeBob game
Proceeds to pull another one out of the box a minute later 😂
GameCube is my top priority in collecting. I wish there were more GameCube sections like yours
love the new setup in the shop, planning a trip to visit the shop from Northern WI
come on! Would love to have you out!
That's a nice Toys R Us customer pick up sign!
Hey Rick.......you need to make a website so people like me and my wife can shop at your place from Pittsburgh pa....
If The RETRO RICK, App Existed...!!! I Would Download It..!!💯🎮💯!
were working on it!
@@benjamincastleman8580 haha thanks for the support!
Gonna guess Pokémon Box is the traded game.
we shall see.....
I rented that tips and tricks vhs so many times!
no way...that is amazing!
How isn’t this a show on A&E already
Guys I love pawn stars and gaming, so this is the best channel on youtube for me. Actually, I wish there was a live camera in your store so we can pop in and see what's up anytime.
Dude did anyone notice or can agree that Retro Rick & Caleb are on MeatCanyons last animated video!!?
yo, love the gameboy stand in the shop.
Probably traded the Flintstones surprise at dinosaur peak for that.
Shout out to your Montgomery bud. I’m from Troy and used to go to Electronics Boutique and Software Etc all the time at the Montgomery Mall back in the late 80s/early 90s before it went downhill.
And now I own that copy of wave race Adam was holding.
Loved this episode! War Eagle!!!
Yo Rick I know how much you love TMNT are you going to Northwest Arkansas comic con. The OG Turtle gang,shredder, bebop and rocksteady and splinter are all going to be there.
the flintstones the suprise at dinosaur peak for the nes
We probably worked at hibbett sports around the same time. Of course me in Heber springs. We would call the Conway store a lot though.
mike rocking the hodgetwins merch!!
Richard, love the new setup. Much more shoppable now.
What was the game all that was traded for?
Welcome to Clickbait Rick. Riff def didn't edit this episode as he'd never not tell us.
how about that smugllers run thats top notch tbh
Speaking of conventions, i hope you're coming back out to Phoenix for Game On. They moved it from August to March.
oh dang...ya i prob wont be able to make that one
@@retroricksgamepoint dang. Apparently I missed y'all by one day last time lol
@@FlyinMunky we shall see, id love to go again if possible
@@retroricksgamepoint That'd be awesome! Hope to see you there. I'm looking into going to Retropalooza next year as well
GameStop also price matches lol. I bought Madden last year for 25 bucks because of a online sale
Rick! You’re seriously one of my favorite channels. Thank you so much for the amazing content. My roommates and I watch you religiously. 😊
Well what the the $1500 game you traded...I missed it or was it some kinda Indiana Jones???
Don't look like that when someone mentions Alabama bc I think the same thing about where you live 😂💯💯
5:49 I ain’t nevah seen so many horizontal lines! 😵💫
i dizzy too
What was the $1500 game ?
Pokémon Box on GameCube
Animal Crossing
Wanted the game
Retro Rick and his new boyfriend are becoming such clickbaiters. I miss the flea market and 10dollar collection Rick...
Rickory traded Panzar Dragoon Saga.
Fun question for Retro Rick and the team. If you could take a cross country road trip with one video game character, who would it be?
Sounds like a pixel game squad podcast question to me
snorlax..i like a nice quiet drive
@@PoKeMoNrUlEz91 haha really does
Don’t want to sound cliche but I would go with Mario might get some green tunnel short cuts.
Mario or Sonic. Depending on our route, the Contra guys. Lol
Rick, I think you should reconsider the color of your console wall mount. Its black.
I’m guessing it was Pokémon Box for GameCube?
Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND!
Rick has at least 5 staff working. I'm surprised a retro games store has such a turn over.
Hasn't Lego been using the never stop playing thing for like years?
I missed what game was sold for that box of games?!
They literally never said. Clickbait bullshit video
Awesome as always 👏 merry xmas!
Dear Santa,
I've been good most of the year, just ask my wife. All I want is ONE thing. Just. One. Thing. PLEASE bring me Chrono Trigger for snes. I'll leave you milk and cookies, and beer and medicinal Marijuana. Your choice.
Love your believer,

"A gold bar"^^
That Nike hat is not you my guy… lol
Somebody’s a Hodgetwins fan…
Hey, is that Rush N Attack poster for sale?
rick youd be better off hitting up a distributor or buying booster boxes of pokemon cards.. if you wanna start carrying a good amount of stock of them distributors would deff hook you up on lower prices than msrp
For Everyone that read this Happy Holidays
you as well my friend!
@@retroricksgamepoint thanks Rick
merry xmas at retrorick and team 🎅👍
When will you guys put together an option for buying items seen in your videos? Some can't travel cross country but would love to support the store and our addiction. Any chance you do Paypal over the phone orders ?
put me down for two tickets
Shout out to Auburn! WDE
boooooo hahaha
Rick, how close are you to the full NES set? How many do you have left?
Love the gamecube I still play my gamecube just got paper mario love it
spoiler it was for Duke Nukem Forever on PS3, the best game of all time
1:56 RICK is that guy from illinois? Istg i sold him pokemon cards b4
How come you don’t have an online website, it would be easier for people to buy from a far. Like NY or DE
What is that VCR?
I NEED that.
If you watch Caleb’s newest video you can see what game it is 🤭
Had to have been Pokémon Box he traded for
cool 1776 shirt, you guys gonna start wearing maga hats and never surrender shirts with trumps mugshot on it?
What was the one game?
I rewatched the episode and still didn’t see it.
This channel is inspiring me to open my own store... maybe one day
I'd say don't. It's a tough market. Maybe online.
All that and you didn't even trade a game just a storage device
we shall see...
Now are you an officially authorized Nintendo repair technician or just some guy who got a cool neon sign? I don’t wanna void the factory warranty on the NES I got in 1987, you think it's still covered?
bro I need the ssx tricky gamecube
Little Sampson?
hmmm good guess!
Rick can I buy a jacket? 😁 Love the logo so much. Ship to Scotland I'll cover it 🙏 love the new video btw
Whats day is it? The 11th? No worries this video will come out in 11 more days. This hkw crazy things are.
Keep up the great work Rick and your Morty minions
I forgot about hoops that game was legit.
That 1776 shirt is a We The People holsters shirt. Got the same in white. Heck yeah!!
thanks for the info!

4:45 some Ducktales the ps3 version would ship without a disk & instead had a digital code to download the game. th-cam.com/video/hE8RgegCJ4o/w-d-xo.html
umm watched the video twice... did i miss the game that was traded???
Im sure his prices suck.
Rental games
You should have more subscribers
Earth bound ?
Can you make Bits this channel’s profile pic?
Epic!
thank you my friend!
My personal thought though is probably not needed. Dabbling into too much stuff.
Should be Retro and Current.
so what was the game?
Kinda lame you buy out Pokemon GameStop
Was she regarded?
LETS GOOOOO
hello my friend!!
Hello retro rick
hello! Hope you are well!
Retro wolf 🐺 is jealous of you. He said on his live stream he didn't give a **** about you or anyone else on TH-cam
You're not a "small mom & pop shop" nice try tho.
