I Bought A $750 Mystery Games Box From A Retro Video Game Store, Here's What I Got.

- Usually I find these random video game lots from eBay, and we've definitely done a lot of those before. But recently I decided to buy one of these mystery game boxes directly from a specialty retro game store called Double Jump Video Games. They're based in Vancouver Washington, and they offer these on their website. So I ordered the $750 box, told them I was looking for CIB PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, and this is what I got! Not bad if you ask me, which I'm not sure if you were. I'm only the description down here. I can't actually hear you.

Thank you so much for your order man!! I wanted to let everyone know that this was purchased during our cyber Monday sale, so typically there wouldn’t be such a huge discount on the box, as we were doing 15% off. We still try to put more value in than spent, but this was a special sale. :)
No problem Cooper! Huge thanks to you and your hard working crew! Just a quick correction: I made sure to order this after the sale was over to support the store. If my payment was reduced please let me know and I'll pay the difference!
@@MysticRyan We had extended the sale from just Monday all the way until Wednesday since we had some website issues causing the site to be down for a bit due to increased traffic. I remember personally packing this order, and thought it was awesome, because it was our first mystery box over $250 I think. Your order was a huge support and this video helps even more! I hope you enjoy, and thanks again!!
Two TH-camrs that I watch...killing it fellas, Abby n the gang woo hoo! Merry Christmas 🎄!
@@DoubleJumpVideoGames thats pretty sweet. I'll be checking you guys out!:)
@@TheWOLF1201 the stickers come off with ease, sometimes they leave behind a little bit of residue but it’s easy enough to clean off. The stickers don’t usually rip or anything like that. We buy specific removable ones. :)
I’d kill to see what’s in one of those $10K boxes LOL.
especially with a 15% off cyber monday sale
Better include a quality used car
Items worth nowhere near 10k. Just like this one is nowhere near the value paid.
@@iikavanaghiihe’s valuing them at eBay last sold sales, that is precisely what they’re worth because that’s what they have sold for. If you disagree do your own research
The DVD case you had Stuntman in is a rental case. They were mainly used in Blockbuster (which used to rent out PSX/PS2 games!). You can see a small shaft on the inside of the case near the front. A plastic bar would go into that shaft and would actually lock the case, preventing you from opening it. The reason was to protect from thieves pretending to be browsing, and stealing the game/movie discs while nobody's looking, putting the empty case back on the shelf. When you actually rented the game/movie the employee had a special tool that was used to remove that bar, allowing you to open the case when you took it home. I still have a couple of those cases; on the last couple of months before Blockbuster closed down for good they were selling all their stock for dirt cheap and I bought a few dozen DVDs.
I was just about to say that. As a former Blockbuster employee, that was definitely the same cases we had for DVDs and games we had in the store. The problem was that they weren't that great of a deterrent since a thief with a sharp knife to cut the spine or a strong enough magnet could easily get into the case, especially if you worked in a busy store with minimal employees working.
that's basically what the GameCube case is
@@timelymirror7826 the Gamecube case is smaller and made with much better quality.
@@originalscreenname44 but the case also has a lock hole on the bottom
Love these videos! Sooo enjoyable to watch, please don't worry about them being long, we want them even longer!
Do yourself a favor and speak for yourself.
@@lordeowstheking Dont like it dont watch it, but stop being a toxic prick...
@@lordeowstheking I agree with him, I want these videos to be as long as possible.
I agree too, the longer the better!
@@DudeWerewolf that’s what she said
*This was so enjoyably to watch mate. A good amount of awesome game series. Definitely, worth the money. :D*
PS: Please don't apologize about videos being long. It's better for us to have some insights about the games.
Yes! I would watch this for 50 minutes as well 😁
@@AustrianCitizen He is my favorite YTuber for everything gaming.
@@Conqueror-Ryu It's a option from Socialblade.
@@Conqueror-Ryu *like this*
Double Jump did the deed here. $900 worth of goodies for $750? That is the move right there. Virtual Boy game was a sincere surprise. Thanks for making this, like watching someone open gifts on christmas day. Pickups videos like these are a lot of fun.
And that is $900 based on Price Charting. Had to be over $1000 based on their sticker prices.
@@JizzSock_ bro ur in the comments what did u expect
llolhe is counting buffy the v game for xbox for 25 bucks no way its worth that if you lucky you get like 7 bucks for it blood omen 22 bucks for ps2 hehe this way i can sell my ps3 with 10 games for 450 bucks .. which i can probably get 100 bucks for if im lucky in reality
For $750 I can give you a much better random bundle of fire retros all the way to recent titles!!!
@@marcoornah no
I live right next to the physical store that he got this from in Vancouver (DoubleJump). They have decent prices and I pretty much only go here these days. Snagged a mint copy of Futurama on PS2 from them for a really decent price just a few weeks ago. Really great place - favorite thing is they actually rate their game's quality correctly (poor/good) and distinguish between Greatest Hits, Part of a Set versions, etc. for collectors.
They had that copy of Romancing Saga for PS2 on their shelf for awhile and almost bought it once or twice. Ryan stole it haha! Also that Tactics Advance box is beautiful and if I'd have known they had that it would not be in Ryan's box haha.
While it sucks that Ryan is kinda ruining the secret here, this is a place that deserves more business. $900 value out of a $750 box is nothing to sniff at.
Good vid!
The childlike joy when you saw the complete in box GBA game, and then your reaction to it being FF Tactics genuinely made me happy
Don't be sorry for having longer videos. Actually they are better and I'm sure more people enjoy your videos, so it's a win win:) Great box btw.
Really enjoyed this - don't fuss about going too long. It's enjoyable to watch someone excited about opening new games! That was a great mix of stuff - especially with the GBA, Vita and VirtualBoy stuff (probably my favorites).
I might be mistaken but I believe the "weird frosted" case for Stuntman is from rental places like Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, etc. I used to work at Blockbuster and we received the original artwork and discs in those amaray cases for movies and games. The cases had a stick locking device that we would feed into the holes at the bottom-right of the case and would travel up the inside of the opening side of the case to prevent theft. When people rented them or bought them, we would unlock them with a magnet that was bolted on the drawers near our registers. When they returned them back to the stores after renting them, we would stick the magnetic locks back in. In most instances if you see cases like that, they came from either video and game rental stores or people/companies who bought those amaray cases in bulk for cheap. Hope this helps.
I love these videos! Don’t stress about not moving fast enough or talking too much Ryan, I love finding out more about these games I’ve never heard of
These are the videos that made me follow you! You put out great content.
I’m not interested in half the games that hype you up but your passion makes it so much fun to watch. Also learning the values of the obscure games is awesome.
Thanks for all the awesome content!
Love this video. This is your best unboxing video by far! So cool to see your genuine excitement. Can't wait for the next one.
always good when mystic uploads these
I always love when a new game unboxing video is uploaded. Fantastic as always Mystic!!
Thank you so much for this ryan it was absolutely wonderful to see how excited and happy you were lol I'm happy for ya bro , makes me want to grab a Box just like it right now . I've been on the lookout for "cold fea"r and "the thing" on og xbox for years now
15:50 This is honestly the #1 reason I love watching your videos, the sheer love for videogames (and having fun with them).
Would love to see more of this! A well rounded mystery box 👌
Start a series like once every two or three months where you ask a video game store to make you a mistery box. I think it's a good idea
Idk he might get special treatment
That sounds like a way for a retro store to give him an awesome box and get an increase in business and then screw Mystic's fans over.
Please don't do this.
How many different games could he possibly get? He would end up with mostly doubles probably
They would just play it up for the camera and publicity. You might be entertained by fiction masquerading as reality but it isn't very honest.
As explained in the intro: we just don't do these anymore because they have to be genuinely random. No special treatment!
Love these type of videos. Could watch them for hours. Keep up the great work :)
this was one of the most enjoyable mystery box videos to watch Ryan! you've definitely got to do 1 more of these at some point! :D
That was a pretty damn awesome unboxing. Lots of cool stuff in that one.
Edit: please don't apologize about your "rambling" on your love for games , we love to see it lol . We need more of that . Longer the video the better
Nice to see another unboxing video, these don't come very often but these are easily some of the most enjoyable videos. It's always so interesting to see what you'll get.
This was the best one yet. I feel DJ is about to get some orders. The value was amazing. Some stores like to under cut you with crap. I respect that from that store honestly.
Don’t order from this place lol. They hooked him up because they knew people would see it and then order boxes lol don’t be stupid
@@Jumpman-gs3wj He said he used a different name, how would they know it’s him?
You that naive?
That and look in the comments they were one of the firsts to comment. They knew it was going to a youtuber.
These unboxing videos are awesome!! could watch them for hours!
Love these boxes videos!
Since this box was so good, I wonder if we will see another $750 box in the future. 🤔
These game collecting videos are my favorite of yours. Keep it up mystic!!!
Such a good lot. I'm happy for you. I wouldn't be surprised if double jump. Found out that was you, but for what you paid you deserve to get such a solid lot
These videos are awesome. Never apologise for them being long, we love it 😁
Great video and I think the comments you do are fantastic. It's always fun (at least for me) to hear opinions about games and specially about retro ones.
I personally wouldn't be happy with this particular box but it wasn't "tailored" for me and what I understood was that there were lot of options to customize what'll be in it so that's great.
Amazing unboxing video! Please don't apologize for talking or taking too long because I enjoy every second of your videos.
I love these videos, the nostalgia and joy while watching. Keep up the good work man🌹
This was awesome! I’d love to see more videos with boxes from this company! They killed it!
This for me was like a cross over episode been watching you and double jump for years great stuff as always thanks for the content
This was really cool to watch! It’s pretty educational to learn the prices of most of these games too. Also how amazing is it that there were 2 newly released PS3 games in 2022!?
Those prices are way off.
I find it weird that I enjoy these specific videos of yours. So enjoyable. LOL
Love your videos and your videos can never be long man I’d literally watch like an hour of this
Well, only 5 minutes in and I am pleased that they actually let you specify what consoles you have so they don't send you things you cannot play. Most do not do that! I will definitely consider this in the future.
I really like your unboxing videos. I think I'm going to check out that store. It seems they have a lot of good stuff.
You also need to admit that this Store have really Fair Prices for their Games! That was really impressing me… No Game was labeled with too high Price :) Probs to that👏🏼
I watch all of your videos because of your straight forward , no bs approach to good honest opinions and news. But these unboxing videos are just plain fun, especially this one. I was genuinely excited for you. I've been playing video games at home since the Atari 2600 came out and since the PS2 have been getting the PS consoles day 1. I have to say refreshing the page for 3 hours on the Best Buy site was by far the hardest lol. Thanks and best of luck.
Double Jump Video Games has a TH-cam channel for anyone that’s interested. Cooper and the crew seem like cool people.
Love, love , love. The videos mann keep it up, always fun and chilling to watch.
This was fantastic, easily the best mystery box video. Hope we can get more like this in the future!
Every time I see a long video I tend to skip thru it but dude I stayed for every second I enjoy the whole video ! You got a new subscribe here and I didn't even know how you ended up on my feed but I'm glad you did 😂
That was a real treasure chest of a Mystery Box. Well worth it.
I freaking love these videos Ryan. So dope!
This was a really fun one to watch. Some of these games were honestly hillarious like that virtual boy game.
This could be an hour long and we’d still love it!
Awwwwww yeah love catching Mystic uploads early in the morning.
Edit: I'm legitimately thinking about buying from this site now, INCREDIBLE quality in their selection!
I do really like these videos. And we don't mind them being longer. It's great to watch
Don't worry we love these longer videos :D
Love to see the excitement, like watching a sport game...I am getting excited just by looking at all the goodies and your reaction!!!!!
Really great mystery box!!!!
That’s my local game story and they always do awesome work and have amazing staff. Can’t get enough of them! 🔥
I love this series! Keep ‘em coming.
Great video ryan, i forwarded you video to double jump for them to see... if i was you i would definitely get all your mystery boxes from them.. the quality for every game was minty which is exactly how I collect.
Oh wow! This is crazy! I’ve been to Double Jump many times! Great store!
I love double jump!! Great video man!
Happy for ya mate. Can't believe ya got Buffy. I played that to death back in the day and loved it. Wish I could get a copy on something now.
For that thick case with the frosted vinyl, I remember those cases from Blockbuster, so I always assume it's from when they'd sell their physical copies after the initial bulk from when it's new.
I LOVE these lot videos, Mystic if you somehow see this, PLEASE do them more 😂 I just beinged watch your old random lot videos and I already seen them.
Wario Land on Virtual Boy on a random game box? WOW, you are so lucky! Congrats! 🎊🎉
That game is so good. I still have my copy but I have no clue where my actual virtual boy is lol.
@@Arc0tR4m4th0rn It's I think the only game what would justify getting a Virtual Boy, although I recommend just using an emulator, because the red screen all the time right in front of your eyes is tiresome and not a great experience and the game anyways is not a virtual reality 3D depth showcase like that one boxing game is or Mario tennis.
Wow! This video was really something else! So nice to watch as a game collector... :)
Nice video, I just recently found your channel and love that although you mainly do PlayStation stuff, you are unbiased towards Xbox and Nintendo consoles/games!
Edit: found your channel because I was looking for videos about what PS3 games still had online :)
Bruh $198.26 Value?… Very nice!… Complete Collectors Editions too Awesome!
Wow, no mystery openings for a while and you come out swinging with this one….! Amazing vid as always.
So much variety in this box, amazing video!
Cool to see you buy from Double Jump Video Games, watched him for many years, way before the store came about. Back when he was Siccooper.
Great video! Just ordered a $200 mystery box for myself, so I'm excited to test my own luck! 😊
Good video to watch, I enjoy seeing these random lot unboxings. Given that you said you wanted complete games, it feels a bit lame that they sent out a loose Virtual Boy cart :(
I agree with some comments saying don't worry about video length with stuff like this. You can keep news or whatever short and sweet, but unboxing, people want to bask in the video game haul glory with you.
These type videos are my favorite from you bro keep going 💪🏽!
Love djvg.. I'm a new sub for you obviously you are doing quite well thanks for supporting that awesome store
This is better than some I’ve seen. I remember one a couple of years back that nearly every game was something I’d see for no more than a few pounds or even just £1 in charity shops that’s included Mag, Socom Confrontation and Warhaw,those three were shutdown before the PS4 was released that’s like being given Battleborn today
Loving the video. Just to throw my 2 cents in, I never feel like a part of the video is taking too long when you comment that it's taking too long haha
I'm not knowledgeable or interested at all in retro games, but seeing how happy you were in this video had me smiling!
This is awesome!! You got some awesome games in there, and a good deal for sure! 😎🔥💪
The total might be "worth" more than you spent - but then again you already had many of these, and can't play/don't collect others - and now you have 50 more pieces of JUNK in your home!
Spending much less $$ for a curated collection of games I *really* want is definitely my style
I really enjoy these kind of videos man this one in particular was particularly awesome. I can see why they give so many different types of games like with the virtual boy it could be a case of hey now I have a virtual boy game, maybe I should get a virtual boy ..... It's a very smart marketing strategy for them to have by putting a game in your hands you might want the console now.
Hey Ryan. I just love these type of videos, so glad you've got so much cool games! for your collection Maybe an idea for some future video, to post some favourite youtube channels which you enjoy watching, like we all enjoy watching your content. Double Jump Video Games has some really cool content, so thanks for that!
Awesome video man! That was a great box! Seems like a decent retro game store!!!
Congrats on all those awesome games 🎉
Wow, what an awesome way to end with FFTA. That was my favorite game ever when I was a teenager, and the first game I ever sunk more than 200 hours in. I’d lose my mind finding a CIB example.
Holy shit i lowkey screamed when i saw the final fantasy tactics jfc man, great video!
Good stuff man looking for the next one
AMAZING 🤩 one of the best unboxing ever on this channel
Banger video, some much nostalgia for me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really good variety and great value for the money!
Loved this, good job :)
Love your vids more mystery boxes...thanks!!!!!
Love these videos!
Love these videos! But most of all, love how happy and excited you get, so stop apologizing! I've been a subscriber for a few years, and I always look forward to the Friday videos.
These are my favorite videos of yours!
you need to upload an extended version of this, I like hearing you talk about each game 😂
Dear god yes - another game collecting vid. Yours are the best on TH-cam. I'll go grab a coffee 🔥
We need more off these videos keep it going mystic
“I’m rambling too much and taking too long” I love watching you open games and listening to you talk so please don’t apologise!
The Stuntman game was in a rental case. We used them at Blockbuster for the games, too.
Store sends a single Wii U game.
Collector: Shit, now I have to get a Wii U!
these guys knew you was gonna make a video with their mystery box so definitely made it look worth it!!
