My favorite thing about this series, is that each part of the $10 game collection has a story behind it, that we all got to see. Whenever you show the current overview of the collection, I see the consoles and such, and I remember the completely different ways you acquired them and the different types of people you got them from. Normally people just show off a collection and that's it, just a collection. With this, it's both a collection of video games & also a collection of stories and memories.
11:52 Assuming the price is reasonable, go back and pick up that “Universal Classic Monsters” DVD set (second row from top). According to my quick eBay search, you can get anywhere from $40-50 (used) to $70+ (new). From the looks of it, it looks used, though. Anyways, happy hunting!
These "Family Computer Systems" are usually sold at shopping mall kiosks around the holidays for around $40.00. These are a combination of a Chinese bootleg multi-cart for the FamiCom/NES and an "NES On A Chip" or "NOAC for short. The one you found has quite a few different games than the one I bought a year ago. As for "Mario 10" the actual game is "Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu" with an obvious sprite swap.
That last kung fu mario game was Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, a pretty rare NES game and one of my first rare finds when I started game hunting years ago.
We found that same gears of war special edition steel case. Sadly I’m pretty sure it was only worth like $15 or so. We thought it would be in the $30-40 range easily!
I got a 2005 Silverado that has the factory Bose stereo system. It sounded soooo good for a factory stereo. Mine has a little subwoofer in the front of the middle console under the dash
Great pick up on the bose radio. I've sold old external floppy disc drives that I honestly found in my work electronics recycling. Found 2 sold both for $50 each
Yeah, as of yesterday our local goodwills stopped selling all video game’s. I tried to purchase a few and they took them and informed me that they where no longer allowed to sell them.
I have a growing collection of those fake consoles and handhelds filled with knockoff games and I really kinda enjoy them. One I have is like a miniature Gameboy with 200 8 bit games on and while a lot of them are junk, there's enough on it to keep me smiling, such as an 8-bit Monster in My Pocket game or a fun little Macross shooter,
My local goodwill will also undercharge me sometimes. They're awesome people, I'm pretty sure they reward their favorite repeat customers. I bet it's better for them to just have your repeat business over the years than to have the $16 dollars for that one purchase. And those bootleg consoles go for $30 at the flea market.
i work inside peoples homes for my day job. this hoarder sold me a still in box sony hi-fi stereo system, samsung dvd/vhs combo with the remote, a scooby plush that i’ve sold two times for $40+, animaniacs lunchbox+ thermos, playboy/girls next door VHS/dvds, and tony hawk 3 for gamecube, all for $70. it was like thrifting during my day job.
My stepfather had that same Bose player way back , I wanna say around 98 or 99. And it worked great. I understand why it would still be selling for a decent amount.
Found a sealed Tiger Woods 2011 Wii at a thrift store yesterday for $4. Put it on eBay last night for $35 free shipping it was sold before I woke up this morning.
I had the same thing, I was recently binge watching the 10$ collection playlist from the start and then after a while I realized "wait, it's June now?"
Bose, Sony and Sennheiser are all great pick ups if you want to flip, or keep for yourself. Great brand names with great sound. Found a bunch of headphones in my local area, and they are quick sellers after a little cleaning up. Awesome videos, Rick!
hello retro rick i live in Ontario so the goodwills are a little different but, I started to work at a good will earlier this year and i can confirm that they send out video games mosly older ones and other high value items to there online shops the higher ups are pushing more stores to do it they have booklets and all for what to send out and what to keep in store it kinda sucks seeing n64s but no one can buy them just saying
To each their own It’s one thing to Find and Get these cool items for yourself it’s another thing intentionally going in buying it all up just to sell at 10x the price So many will never be able to find things like this because resellers
I walked into a Goodwill at opening and saw Prince of Persia for the original Xbox sealed along with Hitman 2 (also sealed). It was insane that they were only $4 a piece.
Thanks for your videos. I have got some deals lately. At my goodwill and salvation army. My one 20 minutes by me the games are 50 cents. The other ones are not it is my favorite. I got a xbox 360 console for 17 and ps3 fat for 40. Sold ps3 for 109 and xbox 360 for 60. You can get games and consoles for cheap.
Hay I got a problem. my local goodwill's video games were 2.00$ to 3.00$ do but now they're 9.00$ all of them. I asked why so expensive they said because they're new games. They thought new = expensive they where xbox 360 and wii games. All of the games you could get at gamestop for literally pennies.
I know you aren't into horror, and the Universal Monsters set was already mentioned, but don't sleep on horror stuff! Movies, figures, posters, memorabilia, there is a huge market for all these. Just a tip from a retro games AND horror collector. Love the channel!
I found a Tasmania devil that is dressed like the devil at a garage sale for 50 cents with a stack of games for a 1.50 each came out to 8 total not bad not bad at all
It KILLS me you find such amazing deals Where as for me the GameStop I used to frequent the most literally has sold my pre- bought handheld system before and I had to argue to get my preorder bonus and drive to another location because they were hoarding them and telling people they didn't have them. 🙄 Yes it happened a few years ago, But yes I am still kinda salty. I can't WAIT to be able to go and game hunt at thrift stores and stuff for video games 💚 Usually I only find trash games that are horribly scratched there but you motivate me to once I get set up in life to go out and get to know my community
@@retrorick I have the same one. Only one controller though. Did you get any two player games working? How was the experience? I might try to look for a second controller for this thing.
I actually have that Gears of War 2 collector's edition too, in fact I have all of the collector's editions for the first 3 games. Don't worry about the length of the video, your videos are always great and fly by!
I’ve given up hope trying to find good games to flip at goodwill now so I’ve resorted to CDs. I’m making bank because people dismiss them. Jazz, blues, metal, hardcore, punk, is where the money is at.
I picked up one of those fake Nintendo emulators for $7 at a Goodwill. Never had a Nintendo as a kid, I was a Sega player, so $7 bucks and it sits with the rest of my classic and mini consoles. All good.
I look at it this way to ps5 and new xbox are reidiculously priced (scalpers) they have basically no games for them , so retro is in and most games are better anyways.
What's with the generic price tags at your goodwills? mine all use large official color-coded price stickers and they do sales on certain colors depending on the day.
Awesome video !!, Rick I gotta point out that u missed Star Wars Battlefront 2!!! (same goodwill that you got Valkyria Chronicles) games goes for $25+....Super Monkey Ball will probably go up in value since recently a remastered collection got announced for all major platforms.
thanks Oscar! I debated getting it but just didnt think there was enough meat on the bone to warrant the time spent flipping it. Thanks for watching my friend!
Loving this series Rick, such interesting finds! Really makes me wish there are more stores like this here in New Zealand. Also if you don't mind me asking, is there any reason for you to keep that FC Twin? I remember you saying you were planning to sell it but it's still there lol. Sorry if I'm being annoying! Just curious is all :)
Those are nice hook-ups and in my experience if they see u like a regular customer some employees give u some deals even if u dont ask them because u r a good value customer to them. Those r nice finds especially the bootleg nintendo system it has a potential to play for fun only.
It was either you or Phoenix who talked before about the Michael Jackson Experience on the Wii. $5 may be tight margins but those are around $20 sold. Surprised you passed on them, Rick!
Yeah I know I bought sega bass fishing for Wii the other day and it had a spongebob game in it So I got it the game was worth more anyway . but I go back to same store today and they had lumberjacks for the Wii. And the disc inside was sega bass fishing so I bought it. Now that game is complete
Darksiders II is a funny game, Death is so surly to everyone! Voiced by Michael Wincott who was in The Crow, Alien Resurrection, Count of Monte Cristo and Strange Days among others. Great casting as Death! It's not worth a lot of cash but worth playing. Conan on the PS3 is going for about 23 bucks complete, don't know about Xbox.
Awesome finds as always. Would be great if you invest on a bag/body clip/mount, w/c are cheap so your hands are free. This is more for the viewers. I was holding my breath when you were trying to open the gears of war w/ 1 hand at that height.

Just had such a bad day : ( came home turned on TH-cam and saw a brand new retro rick video ! Thanks man totally changed my mindset !
Ha so glad they make the day a bit better!
Hope you've only had good days since, my dude.
The “Wrestle” game is M.U.S.C.L.E. It was an NES game. Loved it when I was a kid. It’s based on the mini figure line from the same time.

I was about to comment on this too! Looks like a good pick up!
thanks for the heads up Conner!
@@Nana_Rose thanks for the heads up!
For sure, the Universal Monsters set is awesome!
Yes! I saw that and wished I had ran across it while thrifting. I love those old Universal monster movies!
Old tech is just fun too, especially at our age range, never would have had this as a kid.
I agree!

Man. I’ve passed those Bose stereos a few times and figured there wasn’t a demand anymore.
We found that same gears of war special edition steel case. Sadly I’m pretty sure it was only worth like $15 or so. We thought it would be in the $30-40 range easily!
I found a famiclone just the other day at a thirft store too! It was shaped like a SNES though. Hell yeah!
Great finds! That Prince of Persia game is actually pretty good.
loved prince of persia up until the one released on ps3 lelele
i cant wait to check it out!
@@970junktown970 im pumped to try this one out for the gamecube!
@Charlie B crazy how much Gamecube games are right now!
Agreed. It's quite fun 🙂
I used to have that special edition GoW2. Good memories
Oh nice… it’s pretty sweet!

Great finds there Rick. I got a little luck the other day find a copy of Altered Beast for the genesis complete at a garage sale for $5
oh wow what a find Jesse! Cant remember the last time I found a good Sega Genesis game out in the wild
My stepfather had that same Bose player way back , I wanna say around 98 or 99. And it worked great. I understand why it would still be selling for a decent amount.
they sound incredible for sure!
Great finds. For future reference, I have always grabbed a CD from the media section to test out stereos while I am in the store.
DVD’s are now my favorite thing to flip. Just sold a copy of Kung fu panda2 on 3D blu ray for $14 and i payed a $1
Very nice! Easy money!
Found a sealed Tiger Woods 2011 Wii at a thrift store yesterday for $4. Put it on eBay last night for $35 free shipping it was sold before I woke up this morning.
Great flip! People sleep on sports games all the time
my parents still have their Bose Wave radio. They love it
That bose wave takes me back a bit my grandparents had one of those
haha my parents had one...they are actually incredible
I found some Sega genesis stuff and a Sega CD game at goodwill recently! Never seen that kind of stuff before so definitely an interesting find!
Rick getting worried of the video being to long...
Me not even realizing te video was almost 30mins because of great content
Haha that is encouraging! So glad you are enjoying the content Alfredo!
Not long enough if you ask me haha
I had the same thing, I was recently binge watching the 10$ collection playlist from the start and then after a while I realized "wait, it's June now?"
My Favourite part of Monday is watching these videos👍
so kind Jack! Glad you enjoy the videos my friend
@@retrorick No Problem, Keep at it! :)
dude, that voice over the intercom at 6:40 scared tf out of me lol
BOSE is audio gold. I always pick up any Bose systems and speakers. Great pick up overall 👏.
Bose, Sony and Sennheiser are all great pick ups if you want to flip, or keep for yourself. Great brand names with great sound. Found a bunch of headphones in my local area, and they are quick sellers after a little cleaning up. Awesome videos, Rick!
hello retro rick i live in Ontario so the goodwills are a little different but, I started to work at a good will earlier this year and i can confirm that they send out video games mosly older ones and other high value items to there online shops the higher ups are pushing more stores to do it they have booklets and all for what to send out and what to keep in store it kinda sucks seeing n64s but no one can buy them just saying
I think the reaction to finding it is better then looking then opening it and then filming it after all that
To each their own
It’s one thing to Find and Get these cool items for yourself it’s another thing intentionally going in buying it all up just to sell at 10x the price
So many will never be able to find things like this because resellers
I walked into a Goodwill at opening and saw Prince of Persia for the original Xbox sealed along with Hitman 2 (also sealed). It was insane that they were only $4 a piece.
oh man, thats a great pickup!
So many great finds. I have to highly recommend that Conan game. It was incredible start to finish! Action packed and definitely worth your time.
That BOSE Wave radio find is awesome...perfect garage flair!
Walked into Cabot Goodwill today and scored NCAA 14, I was shocked it was still there at 4pm
Oh dang, what a find!!!
Thanks for your videos. I have got some deals lately. At my goodwill and salvation army. My one 20 minutes by me the games are 50 cents. The other ones are not it is my favorite.

Dude, thanks! Found Wii Rhythm Heaven Maker for $1 at a church garage sale... it's up to $100 right now on eBay

I found a Tasmania devil that is dressed like the devil at a garage sale for 50 cents with a stack of games for a 1.50 each came out to 8 total not bad not bad at all
not bad at all Omar!
Well we know retro Rick is an honorable guy because anyone less would have said they found Little Samson for $10 at goodwill.
Hahaha dang it, now that’s a title!!
That Bose radio is awesome I have the same exact one with the remote and everything works on it I was wondering how much it was worth
The Bose radio is a good tip I'm going to be on the lookout for those 👍
You’re not the only one jacked. That Kung Fu Mario looked like he was hitting the gym pretty heavy
I picked up a Bose wave multi cd player section just 2 weeks ago in a local charity shop for £5
Ninja Mario is a rom hack of Jackie Chan action Kung fu. Great pick ups!
13:30 Missed Namco Museum for PS2 on top of the DVDs. Not sure if you needed that or not.
i actually did see it! I thought about getting it
Man, I loved Wrestle as a kid. Played it for hours on end. 😅😅😅
had that same sony tv growin up! very nice!
It KILLS me you find such amazing deals
Where as for me the GameStop I used to frequent the most literally has sold my pre- bought handheld system before and I had to argue to get my preorder bonus and drive to another location because they were hoarding them and telling people they didn't have them.
🙄
Yes it happened a few years ago,
But yes I am still kinda salty.
I can't WAIT to be able to go and game hunt at thrift stores and stuff for video games 💚
Usually I only find trash games that are horribly scratched there but you motivate me to once I get set up in life to go out and get to know my community
My mom had a Mazda one time and it had Bose speakers in it that’s how good Bose is
That fake NES Classic is no joke, I’m impressed.
i know right...so was i!
@@retrorick I have the same one. Only one controller though. Did you get any two player games working? How was the experience? I might try to look for a second controller for this thing.
I thought you got a nes classic. That would be a great find
im sure we will come across one soon!
Ma man the collection is getting huge! Congrats 👌
The unerversel monsters movies sell for a decent chunk of change it's worth looking up
Sands of time was the first prince of Persia game i played on Xbox and I was stoked when it was recently remastered. awesome game!
I’m pumped to try it out!
I actually have that Gears of War 2 collector's edition too, in fact I have all of the collector's editions for the first 3 games. Don't worry about the length of the video, your videos are always great and fly by!
I played Valkyrie Chronicles on PC. Been playing 4, but I love the gameplay. Fun take on RTS/Strategy RPG. Worth a playthrough.
Rick you rock! I would love to hunt with you one day!
that would be a ton of fun!
6:44 - person speaks.
Retro - …..Sure.
Retro Concentration 🤣🤣
I love your channel..it really takes me back to my childhood
Great finds indeed! That fake mini looks like it has a good selection 👊
Goodwill can surprise you with gems...even if there are plenty of re sellers
I’ve given up hope trying to find good games to flip at goodwill now so I’ve resorted to CDs. I’m making bank because people dismiss them. Jazz, blues, metal, hardcore, punk, is where the money is at.
Yes!!! Definitely gotta go now
I love these videos.
Your channel completely inspired me to start my own.
Great pickups and finds as per. The lil NES was super sweet.
I picked up one of those fake Nintendo emulators for $7 at a Goodwill. Never had a Nintendo as a kid, I was a Sega player, so $7 bucks and it sits with the rest of my classic and mini consoles. All good.
they actually work surprisingly well!
@@retrorick Yeah, worth the shelf space for the playtime
Does that goodwill write in marker on the case and disc? Surely that must wipe off right?
I figured that he would find more GameCube games at thrift stores bc quarantine is done and people are done with those games
I look at it this way to ps5 and new xbox are reidiculously priced (scalpers) they have basically no games for them , so retro is in and most games are better anyways.
@@retrorick i got a ps2 and 22 games for 200
Sucks so much. I used to have pretty much all the Mario games on GC and it just hurts thinking about it now because I sold them a while ago lol.
What's with the generic price tags at your goodwills? mine all use large official color-coded price stickers and they do sales on certain colors depending on the day.
I have been hunting now for months and have yet to find a single GameCube game in my area I just want to find one already
i totally get it...i dont know why they never pop up...especially when you see Ps2 games around ever corner...so weird
Gamecube games are super desirable and the console didn't sell well, so just give it time to find games.
@@TominoCabana will do!
Awesome video !!, Rick I gotta point out that u missed Star Wars Battlefront 2!!! (same goodwill that you got Valkyria Chronicles) games goes for $25+....Super Monkey Ball will probably go up in value since recently a remastered collection got announced for all major platforms.

@@retrorick understandable. Still great finds!
I'd say 20 is fair for the fake nes. Paid that for 1 at a flea market near me with 600 games. But I was impressed with the game selection
I really was blown away, I was not expecting it to be as good as it was
I test electronics in the store. Love Bose.
You should have gotten the universal monsters set
Loving this series Rick, such interesting finds! Really makes me wish there are more stores like this here in New Zealand. Also if you don't mind me asking, is there any reason for you to keep that FC Twin? I remember you saying you were planning to sell it but it's still there lol. Sorry if I'm being annoying! Just curious is all :)
So glad you are enjoying the series! Nope the only reason is bc I’m lazy haha I need to sell it
I love the videos man thanks for making every Monday and Thursday so exiting
Great video Rick crazy how a 27 minute vid flew by so quick didn't even notice and it was over😂
what a compliment! So glad you enjoyed it
those bootleg nes can has some fun and weird games lol
Nahh!! The lady must have a crush on you that’s why she charge you lower than the asking price 😂😂lol
Hahaha , no one has a crush on me
Those are nice hook-ups and in my experience if they see u like a regular customer some employees give u some deals even if u dont ask them because u r a good value customer to them. Those r nice finds especially the bootleg nintendo system it has a potential to play for fun only.
they have the miniature PS 1 and 64 game system like that to, I don't know about the other system
It was either you or Phoenix who talked before about the Michael Jackson Experience on the Wii. $5 may be tight margins but those are around $20 sold. Surprised you passed on them, Rick!
mondays is dollar day at goodwill they might be the selected color
Oh nice, that day for us is Sundays
@@retrorick oh ok cool
AAAAAH THE TAZ!!! THATS SO COOL!!
Amazing finds I been looking for more gamecube games
Close to that 80k mark kudos brother keep up the great work 👍
KUNG FU MARIO! My oh my thats a videogame HOF Game!
Thank you for all the nostalgia Rick. Wolverine Phone was mega DOPE!

I found animal crossing for the gamecube todaywhile I was out at my local goodwill
Same here! It was actually in a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Gamecube case. I almost fainted when I opened the box to check the disc.
oh man what a find! Surprised we havent came across any animal crossing games yet in the 10 dollar game collection
@@Littletuna23 oh dang...what a find!!!! I love when that happens
Yeah I know I bought sega bass fishing for Wii the other day and it had a spongebob game in it So I got it the game was worth more anyway . but I go back to same store today and they had lumberjacks for the Wii. And the disc inside was sega bass fishing so I bought it. Now that game is complete
But I did have damn near the same section as you did when you found chibi to go. And I agree I buy gamecube when I see it. Witch is not that ofthen
Darksiders II is a funny game, Death is so surly to everyone! Voiced by Michael Wincott who was in The Crow, Alien Resurrection, Count of Monte Cristo and Strange Days among others. Great casting as Death! It's not worth a lot of cash but worth playing.
Conan on the PS3 is going for about 23 bucks complete, don't know about Xbox.
Awesome finds as always.
Would be great if you invest on a bag/body clip/mount, w/c are cheap so your hands are free. This is more for the viewers. I was holding my breath when you were trying to open the gears of war w/ 1 hand at that height.
For sure I’ve thought about it, I do like having the flexibility of going right up to items bc the camera is in my hand but I’ll def look into it!
Kids- "mom, can we get a Nintendo?"
Mom- "we have Nintendo at home"
Retro- literally pays money for mom's Nintendo at home
Great episode!!! Some good finds there!!
thank you and thanks for watching!
Such a fun pickup with the bootleg system, nice finds.
i was pleasantly surprised by it! Thanks for watching Scott!
games are always 4.99 or 5.99 here we never get those good prices
oh man, that stinks Joe
