Always jealous of regions where Goodwills still actually have cool things. Amazing finds!
Always look forward to your videos. So comfy
Appreciate you dude
Cracks me up when people get stuff at Goodwill. Goodwills in my area have torn, stained furniture, single dishes, questionable old looking kitchen appliances and gadgets, old women’s clothes, worn out shoes, dirty baby toys. You get the picture.
my goodwill charges gucci prices for junk and everything
Goodwills around here are the same with all that junk (not the gucci prices). That, and I know the one in the town north of here has had a lot of people in there looking for shit to flip all of the time.
Collector John shares some awesome video game finds in this laid-back, easygoing video. Get ready to reminisce on the past, ponder the future, all while being anchored in the present - discussing current market video game prices, and the current state of video games in general, with a sprinkle of mystery - “where did he get these amazing deals?!” This piping hot Collecter John video is sure to satiate the thirst of even the most die-hard video came connoisseurs. Enjoy!
Your videos are so delightfully awkward 😂 love your channel dude
Really fun video! It's the first of yours that's I've seen. It's super kind of you to leave games you already have for other people to find rather than just buying them to flip. Love the continuity break halfway through. Subscribed and looking forward to more like this!
Hell yeah, killer work on this video bro. 30 minutes of dope content.
Really appreciate it friend 👍
So jealous of the rest of you guys and goodwill finds. In NC we have a store called the GRID and i was told all games in NC gets shipped there to sell at normal pricing.
Thanks for putting up a video! Always watch before i fire up my games for the night!
Recommend collecting for the Xbox One! Games are super cheap!
Yup I'm ready to get it goin haha
Man you have fully captured the relaxing video to unwind after work vibe. Thanks for posting
Glad it helped you unwind dude
Your content is so comfy, I've watched your entire channel over the last couple weeks whenever I just wanna relax. The vibes are immaculate.
love a 30 min collector john vid, especially the goodwill vids! reminds me of better thrifting days in my area, hasn't been this good in a long time. Glad to see some ppl still getting lucky! Keep the good vids comin :)
Getting further in the vid, love the Ever Grace shout out!! goated game...
That green CRT in the background was enough for me to like and sub! I don't collect or resale myself (but love video games) but I can watch this kind of stuff daily!
Love your videos man. It inspired me to start collecting for some of my systems as well. It's an expensive hobby but well worth it lol.
Sick pickups! Was at Goodwill yesterday and saw a GameCube case of Simpson Hit and Run. My heart dropped until I opened it and saw that it was the sims game actually in there. Still picked it up for $4. Not bad for a case and manual of GameCube hit and run plus a super scratched sims game lol.
Looking sharp with the new doo! Thanks for the new video, super chill!
Thanks for watching dude!
Nothing like folding laundry and watching a new collector John video 🤘
Some extremely nice goodwill pickups here man. Don’t want to jinx it but I’ve been having some good luck thrifting of late myself 🤞
Good to hear dude let's keep the good luck rollin
Excellent pickups man!!! Your local Goodwills are stacked.
My Goodwill basically has Bases Loaded for NES, broken in half, dragged through dirt, and prob won't work for $40
I bet it's a strategy guide! Thanks for the vid!
I was hoping for another Collector John video soon! Great hauls! The Switch deck and Guitar Hero gear was a phenomenal pickup. I had guessed it was a video game peripheral, so I'll be collecting my 1/2 drank Baja Blast.
PLEASE don’t stop making videos man I fucking love watching your content and I really never found myself interested in retro game content but I definitely just bought an original Xbox and found you so I’d say that’s going to change lmao
Thanks so much dude it means a lot to me, not stopping anytime soon!
Heck of a pickup video!
New collector John video letsss gooooo baby!
Was just watching the back catalog last night, you got to make vids more often
If it didn't take so much time I would 😢
Always loved kingdom of amalur, 100% it recently and it aged fairly well I'd say.
Love your vids you're quite relatable haha
If Jay and Silent Bob was a person 🫠 Nice video mann!!
😂😂😂
"Some guys have all the luck" - Rod Stewart
awesome video, love the content!!
Medievil for $2?!! That is a sick pickup! Goodwill definitely can have some gems that’s for sure! Great video! 🤘🏻
Amazing haul man!!! I've been to that first goodwill a couple of times but I never seem to get anything good while I'm there. Keep up the great videos man maybe one of these days I'll bump into while out game hunting!
Yeah ymmv at this goodwill, I go so often which is the only reason I find anything haha
Borderlands is still my favorite in the series. Love the loot system and general vibe of the game. You'll probably enjoy the remaster, higher FPS, resolution, and the addition of the mini map are all great things. They added 6 new guns that you can also get out of the golden chest, and for the most part they are decent adds. I try to play the game once per year, and since 2019, it's been the remastered one.
Mudrunner was super fun, Snowrunner I liked a lot more, if you can find that cheap. Expeditions came out recently, but I'll wait for a sale.
That last Goodwill was quite stacked, it's been a while since I've been to one with that many games. Great finds there!
That Barnyard game on the Wii from the second goodwill surprisingly has some value. Epic Mickey and Indianapolis 500 would have been solid pickups as well. Great video!
Another great video! Love the longer videos! Also that translucent green tv you got would look great with the translucent green halo Xbox lol
Yeah I want to get that setup rolling for sure, my green Xbox needs new capacitors though which I'm going to replace soon
I like your channel, very entertaining, all you need now is a funny cat that people can meme about.
Nice find with that Toshiba clock radio! Thing looks great! 👌🏻 Excellent copy of True Crime: Streets of LA too. You got some great thrift stores near you!
Thanks! Yeah I love the clock radio haha
You are definitely not the only one collecting Xbox 1 lol. I did the same thing, I bought a Series X and then went looking for $5 or less games and found tons. Never owned a 1, but with the backwards compatibility you can play so many games for cheap
Glad you picked up the Ratchet & Clank games, those are such great games!
A new Collector John vid. Very nice.
Great video, thanks. Goodwill near me sends all the games to a central location to be sold online, boo!!! I haven’t been hitting up pawn shops as much, but some finds at flea market and indie game shops recently. Found House of the Dead remake on Switch and bought all the Just Causes on various Xbox systems on the cheap. Also just got the last Splinter Cell I was missing. Hope you have avoided losing all your super powers ala Sampson since the haircut.
I got a Series X back in January. Ive been actively collecting all the FPS boosted games! It gets a lot of hate, but I love my Series X. I can go from playing Jade Empire to Gang Beast in seconds and it makes me happy.
Awesome pickups! I would have gone crazy if I found games priced at 3$ each! I think it's the perfect price to try on games that you wouldn't regularly pickup at regular prices. And if you don't like it, you can pay it forward like give them to some of your friends or give it back to Goodwill. Thrift stores in Montreal are really bad. They price games really high like sports games at 10$ each which is why they never move! You should definitely play Dragon Age Inquisition as it's a really good game (don't let the internet haters convince you otherwise). Witcher 3 is a must play as it's so good and one of the only modern games to crack my top 10 favorite games of all time! I like the haircut! But now you'll have to change your thumbnail lol! Great video and keep up the good work!
Yeah I played Witcher 3 when it came out but it's been a while, excited to check it out again
Keep calm and watch collector john
Nice pickups man. Excitetruck, Battleship are really fun. Your not the only one collecting for Xbox one and 360....huge collector of both. Duck Dynasty game I bought on release and is really fun. Closing in on over a 1000 360 games and 400 Xbox one games.
I found $500 worth of video games also! Thing is it would’ve cost me $2000 😂
lmfao 😂
Bro I am so jealous of those Ratchet and Clank finds, those are HUGE! I found the same Guitar Hero 360 controller for a great price and use it to play Clone Hero all the time on pc
Great deal on those ratchet and clank games I’ve been looking all of the ps3 ones haven’t found any for a decent price yet
Some great pickups man! I just picked up Destroy all humans 1 and 2 for ps2 today lol. Never played them
Excite Truck is fun! It was a launch window title and we had a lot of fun with it on multiplayer.
I just picked up an Xbox One for $60 a couple months ago and I'm really enjoying it. Controller is amazing and I love Game Pass. Playing a lot of Star Wars Battlefront.
That's funny, I recently found that exact X-plorer controller for $4 at my local thrift store mixed in with the toys. Have you ever tried Clone Hero? We've had alot fun with that app using that controller on Windows.
Great pickups, congrats! Great Goodwill prices also; my Goodwill has video games at $5.99 so I don't pick up much there anymore.
Hell yea brother! That guitar controller though. Man I remember when we couldn't GIVE those things away at the game store I worked at. Now look! I'm glad I held on to a couple. Also your hair looks nice man I just hope it doesn't change you from a dork into a nerd. Never forget your hippie hair roots!
Good news: I'm a dork and a nerd
Whay I always loved is how different and soecial the cases are in Europe where I'm based Dreamcast , PSX (PlayStation) , Sega Saturn its just bigger and nicer
Excite Trucks is actually super awesome! nice one!
Im also "collecting" for the xbox one :P exactly for the same reason, my xbox and xbox360 games play awesome on it!
I’m super late today. New job is killing me. But I am happy I have something to watch before I go in.
Jesus. In the last year, at charity shops here in the UK, I have found 1x FIFA 20 on Xbox One, 1x Homefront Revolution on PS4, and 3 PS3 games that were £10 EACH worth around £3 each. You guys have it so much better
I'd say most people in the US are in a similar situation to you, I just happen to be in a pretty good location
Nothin like chillin out, eatin a sandwich, and watching some Collector John !
Lol saw the notification for this video while I was hunting for games at a goodwill
Heck yeah hope you found something!
Damn nice haul I used to collect now not so much around my area things have been getting so overpriced to the point it's not worth just leaving to get a game that's priced twice as much as it used to be
The Goodwills around here never put that stuff out in the store, they sell it on Ebay. Most thrift stores do this now, the product and the money they get doesn't go back into the community. It's become a Racket.
Goodwill has their own ebay style website that they do that on. Haven't looked on there in years, seems like all of the auctions have bid bots on them. -_-;
we gotta see some footage of Collector John bustin' some moves on the DDR mat!
Really surprised by how much I liked that Battleship game.
Get a series X - the backwards compatible games like Dead to Rights LOOK SO CLEAN - it’s crazy!
Nice pick ups. It's crazy that the guitar hero peripherals can be that much considering how many were made. You'll want to shine a blacklight at the front of the box of the anniversary xbox controller in the dark for a fun surprise easter egg. Most people are unaware of what's there. I wish Microsoft, Nintendo, and Xbox would bring back the transparent console aesthetic.
Lucky to have a goodwill to chat $3 bucks a game. Here in Florida there all out of whack with prices
I was cluckin for john video!
I've checked our Goodwill quite a few times, and the only game I have ever picked up there was Skyrim on PS3. 😮💨
your goodwill looks so nice and clean?? I have never in my life seen good quality items like that at goodwill
Woah, when did bbno$'s Dad get here, I'm jk, the haircut looks great John. Always providing the wholesome, laid back content, I appreciate your hustle. Sweet haul too btw
Always fun to watch your videos. Are you going to the Midwest gaming expo next month?
Nice score with that guitar controller. Anymore, I mostly fund my game collecting by finding Wii and 360 guitars at thrift shops and trading them for credit at my local game store. I bought one of those explorers for $7 last week and got $45 for it the next day. I know it’s worth double that, but trading is so fast and easy, and I don’t have to deal with haggling strangers on marketplace or whatever.
Fun video, dude.
I also love trading haha, good strategy!
Yes! It’s another Collector John video!!
Let's get it 🙏
@@collectorjohn9538You need to do a Collector John “Origins” video
lets goooo a collector jawn drop
heck yeah buddy 💥 appreciate u
Usually they are cleaned out.
Hot tip if you're unaware: Quake 4 on 360 came with a second disc that included a HD Remaster of Quake 2. It's a bit unnecessary now as it's been remastered again for modern consoles and PC recently but pretty cool bit of history, it's one of the first HD remasters. So yeah, look for copies with the art AND that second disc if you care about that sort of thing!
I made that mistake, picking it up without the second disc. Had to pay extra on ebay for it
That sounds right up my alley, imma keep my eye out for this
Love seeing Evergrace get some love! PS2 had the best launch lineup in video game history in my opinion. I also live in Milwaukee and have some other great stores for you to check out if you ever need some more ideas.
Would love to hear your recommendations. I know there's a new store that opened called Game Together MKE or something like that which I need to check out
@@collectorjohn9538 Just went there the other day! Smaller selection, but some seriously decent stuff. Bought a complete copy of Wing Commander 3 Long box on ps1. Super nice guy working there too.
@@collectorjohn9538 Don't sleep on Record Head in West Allis... Usually a great selection of games with decent prices. Very cool store. Also check out Albella bargain store next to Lost world of Wonder near 68th and Oklahoma. A lot of cool collectibles and a growing game selection. Some prices can be high, but you can find some good deals sometimes. A lot of cool stuff in that store for sure as well. There is also a smaller game store called TP games near 43rd and Forest home. Once again, smaller selection but I have found some really good deals there in the past. I think he is only open on the weekend now though.
New video. Nice.
Honestly it's a good time to be an xbox one collector! Walmart has been puting tons of games on clearance so its a super easy way to get some good stuff
Heck yeah I'll keep an eye out at Walmart
Lighter fluid will get that sticker residue rite off
I have went at least an hour in every direction from my house. And not one goodwill, carries games or even many blu-ray movies anymore. Sometimes you’ll see a couple blu-rays sneak through or a PC game every now and then but that doesn’t help me because i don’t have a gaming pc. They will put all the good stuff on eBay or goodwill finds. It honestly kind of sucks to go to the goodwills near me anymore and I’m always disappointed when I go. We only have a couple retro stores near us and one has a fairly small collection and the other has a big selection but they sell most of them at the high end eBay prices. I wish goodwill wouldn’t have gotten greedy and started selling their good games at premium eBay prices. At least considering that most of their stock is donated and doesn’t cost them anything but a little labor to tag them and put them on a shelf.
You should watch the Battleship movie. A bit cheesy but the ending is pretty cool.
None of the goodwills around me sell games anymore, unfortunately. I do find some cool CDs almost every time I go though so can't be too mad lol.
Guardians of the galaxy is a pretty cool game. So, great pick dude, don't worry lol
ive never once found a halfway decent game at goodwill, even now, my current goodwill hasnt had a single game in that store since 2010
Well collector John
You’re not the only person collecting for the Xbox One, Collector John. I’m also out there being a weirdo and buying Xbox One physical media 😅
They had Indianapolis 500 for Wii which is a good racing game
My guess is a fight stick.. need that mountain dew 🙏
Close!!
DAMMIT -- Gonna need a Collector John DDR/Just Dance/Guitar Hero stream soon tho
If you find a good copy of Quake 4 be sure it has the second disc or it is technically incomplete. The second disk has a copy of Quake II as well as the making of Quake 4 video.
The Goodwills in my area don't put video games out they only sell them online.
Kingdoms of amalaur is an awesome game. Nice finds man! Thanks for sharing. Also if you like mud runner you need to try snow runner
Goodwill in the northeast is pretty bad. You’re lucky to see half a dozen bad Wii games and random sports games on various systems. I found Rock Band 1 one day and thought I found gold.
Ahhh, another Milwaukee guy? Nice! I live in the Southwest side of Milwaukee, pretty close to some game stores. What side do you live in?
Anyway, I've got so much stuff when the Franklin, WI Mega Media had there 25% off deal.
I haven't met Austin Heroics yet, but I know that he lives around the Waukesha area.
Turns out i have a collectors case for the gameboy and a gameboy i got together for 20 bucks
I collect for the Xbox one. So you can join my party of one. It’s SOOO cheap. Hardly anything is over $10
Ah johns uploaded!
Congrats on the last vid blow up!!, WE UP!👏🏾👏🏾🗣🗣
Thanks boss 👍
That gt2000 combo worth a decent amount on Amazon and eBay upwards of 70
Eh more like $15-20 for the double pack. JSRF by itself is worth a lot more
What kind of GOODWILL do you guys shop at as the two in my area NEVER had any games on the shelves the few times I went.
Wow...your Goodwill stores have way better items than the ones in my area. All mine ever seem to have are way overpriced sports games.
is that goodwill in the thumbnail chambersburg pa?
You are local to me sir!
man! super score! where the heck are these goodwills with games?? i just went to my local goodwill, which is actually a bigger one, and there were zero games there.
Yeah just depends on location more than size of the store I think. My main one is in a major metro area right by a university so they get a lot of stuff from students moving out I think
@@collectorjohn9538 cool-i'll continue to be on the lookout at other goodwills. my hometown location is in ann arbor michigan, right next to university of michigan, so i would've thought they would have at least a lil sumsum.
