Been waiting VERY impatiently for this to come out and you did it on my birthday of all days! Thanks to editor Riff for making me not look like a complete idiot on camera. Rick, it was a pleasure. I hope to see you again in a few months with more consoles in tow. Hope this helped the store and that everyone enjoys the treasures!
Happy birthday bro.
Such clean stuff you had there man. Crazy.
Happy Birthday man, crazy collection too!
Happy birthday Blake!! I can’t believe you got rid of your collection! This is the first time I’ve got to see the whole thing! & you’d be happy to know that Devan has got me into Star Wars but I’m still struggling to watch the first movies 😂 I’m trying!!
Happy Birthday man!
I just wanna hug that man. To get rid of all of that meant he was facing something ugly.
Much love, man ❤️
In the UK I’m here like huh that is way too little money 😂😂😂 idk if anyone else feels that way
Amazing collection & what a lovely down to earth man. I hope whatever hardship hes going through passes quick & he can rebuild his collection. He had great passion & knowledge of his items too.
Always such a weird combination of emotions seeing a collectors sell it all. You feel bummed that they're parting ways, excited to see everything together like a mural or museum, but happy that it gets to become part more collections and displays
it's def a bummer because you know it's going to go to a reseller but hopefully it goes to someone who genuinely wants to keep it and play it and share it to their kids.
BLAKE NEEDS A SEGMENT EACH VID! "Blake's Breaks" - where he breaks down some product/topic/game. Selfie style, from Oklahoma. He's fantastic! Great vid Rick!
Always a good time with Retro Rick. Damn Rick the stuff you get coming into the store. Some of these collections that these people have. Immaculate items. Very cool. And you got all that for $4,900. What a steal. Sweet baby Jesus.
My local game store only gives 33% so 50% is actually very fair
yes, you can always get your items back, but as time goes on it gets harder and harder and more expensive.
Im a console guy, I don't own anything good but when I see stuff like the PC Engine with cd attachment, a Lynx, game gear (mine needs capacitors) bags of DMGS and GBAs... it's like heaven.
Whose ready for may 6th and may 7th in ontario killa California , for the retro gaming expo, can't wait to see all you guys.
Love the use of the DBZ Buyuu Retsuden music at 4:00! That game's soundtrack is insane.
Thanks 🙏 for the video it was something to look forward to after being sick all day from 5am to 5pm throwing up 15 times throughout the day. I was able to focus on something else at point and catch my breath 🙏
Beautiful collection. The man cave one could design with all those toys.
Getting rid of things is tough. But collecting is always fun. :D
From Iowa here!! One day I will visit your store. One day Rick. Thanks for an awesome video.
I think I was the only kid at my school that knew about Keith Courage because I had a friend across town that actually had a Turbo. What a time.
Danng RICk you r personal collection soon is going to be a museum man !!
I would definitely go to them. Honesty goes a long way with me. Selling on eBay sucks too. Shipping and fees are crazy. Plus all of the time that goes into selling and shipping.
Blake knows his stuff!
Nice find with Keith Courage. Fun fact it's actually an Amercianized version of a japanese anime called Mashin Hero Wataru. Wataru appeared in another game we never got over here called Super Robot Wars X.
Really love your stuff man I’m from uk I’ve just started collecting I’m watching all your vids from old to new to learn what I can haha
Wow!! 4900 for all that. That’s insane. Some crazy good items there. Must be fun being a trader and getting so much stuff half the price.
It’s called a business
@@nicholasharron3325 well I never woulda guessed
it’s def a joke there’s no way all that would be valued for that
i’m sure this has to be a joke (your comment)
I want the Turbo Man action figure with the arms and legs that move and the boomerang shooter and his rock'n roller jet pack and the realistic voice activator that says *five* different phrases including, "It's Turbo time!" Accessories sold separately; batteries not included.
Love how yall share the numbers with us.
As the man said, life gets in the way and Bills have got to be paid! He'll be back!
Hey Retro Rick, Great Trade. Your Store is looking Awesome.NEED MORE VIDEOS PLAYA. Take care and keep it Retro homie. Watching a lot of the other guys now, but I miss your vids bro. PCE 👊🏾🎮🎮🎮🎮👊🏾
That collection was out of this world 😮
Nostalgia ALERT!!! These are just crazy!! The things people keep in their closets
Epic collection! I need to plan a trip the store.
That is quite a collection indeed. He kept it nice and clean, well done!
that was fun to watch, the store looks amazing
Wow a straight up holy grail collection. Wish the best for that man!
That is such a sick haul omg . Getting rid of things is tough. But collecting is always fun. :D.
Ahh that Star Wars Vhs Box. How I missed that as a fan and a collector, I'll never know. But those CBS Fox boxes fill the void.
That is a hell of a collection!!!
great to see a video back in the store
How to get things for half price? Open a shop!
Probably the hardest way to get items cheap lol. All you have to do is run a business 100 hours a week.
Convenience factor, usually COD you're in and out.
It’s part of owning a business he has to be able to cover expenses and make a profit most things won’t sell same day they’ll take up retail space and it’ll be a slow grind to recoup. Anything us as consumers buy isn’t what it cost to make. A burger can cost you 11 dollars and only cost 2.50 to make including cost yet you won’t feel ripped off. Just simple economics
It sounds easy but imagine buying things and they sit in your store for months. You still have to pay the overall bills of the store.
So every business in the world… you think Walmart buys your milk at full price 😂
I love my Turbo graphics with cd attachment ,5 controllers, controller adapter 24 games all so mint. My uncle bought it new and gave it to me in 1999
I hope this man is doing good in life. Thats a good collection I would never let go.
That's a INSANE collection!
Ripped that poor guy off man. That's scummy.
@@gertywhatagash_ SMH lol
Wow! What a collection
Jeez Rick, my jaw dropped seeing this collection, totally sweet hobbyist!
Me too. My mouth was hanging wide open looking stupid with that PC Engine setup.
Another Monday, Another Retro Rick
I couldnt do it and sell my collection but give you props for doing it. Hope the money helped you out. I sell on ebay and love it but I get it and it isnt for everyone. Great video. I have 31 systems and 1600 games. I resell and fund the collection for free for the most part.
Dang that is awesome! I would've loved to see the dreamcast games he brought in. But shoot u got so much i'd been overwhelmed too LOL!
Rick you’re such a good dude! That guy looked very happy with the sale! And you looked happy too of course 😊😁👊
Somehow my local game store gives 70-80% value for trades. I think since they are the only LGS in the area their turnaround is very fast because each time I go in, a lot of stuff is gone (sometimes I go in only after a few days).
Is it actually 70-80% of value or do they just say that? Like I know a store near me that says they do 70% but then I watch them give $50 for a $400 game and laugh about it. Not saying your store is as bad as the one near me, but some people are just awful
@@angrybirdbob2881 I’m sorry to hear that about the store near you, that must be a downer. It truly is 70-80 percent at my LGS, I’ve calculated it each time. I know the manager personally and she is a wonderful individual. They really care about customer satisfaction.
He did not get ripped off. He knew what he was doing. This saved him time and energy and he could have said no to the offer. He wasn’t forced to accept it.
Shitttttttt lol
Yep! I think alot of the comments here are from younger viewers. At the end of the day, everybody values things differently. When you get older, people just value time more. To some its not worth the work and time it would take to sell it seperately.
Its crazy when you're not interested in the hobby anymore you don't really care about getting rid of something that been with you for over a decade.
Definitely understand the Gameboys. I have a few project ones but I stop working on them because they just aren’t selling as fast as they where when Covid started. So I stop putting money into them till the market comes back on them.
it was awesome meeting you and the editor in Cali at savers today!
Hey Retro Rick. I sold a really rare obscure DS game a few weeks ago and way curious as to what had happened to it. It was Little Bears for the DS.
Pheonix Resale is gonna be at classic game fest Austin, Tx. July 23-24. Hope to see you there too Rick!!!!
perfect editing, as always
Wow good going Rick.
Amazing collection
This channel really proves that you can buy things with money.
😂😂😂
All it takes it time, patience, relationships, trading, and yes, a little bit of money. But not lots. That's five years of collecting.
And hustle when people are down
@@joshnewman6667 he runs a game store not a charity 50% market value is what any other retro game store or online store like chance after the right price will pay. He could of sold it on ebay but would of taken a long time.
@@oisinmckellar3046 or what not dont forget phoniex re sale, or pixel game squad, morts garage
That is such a sick haul omg 🤤🤤
That’s cool I also have most of that stuff . Good buy
10:12 Rick sounds like Newman in Jurassic Park when the guy opens the shaving cream can with the dinosaur eggs
Blake brought some heat!
Very fair deal!!! He was honest and told him he could do about 50% of retail. He has a business and people got to get paid.
store looks awesome
That Iron Man GBC is awesome!
If there was one collection I wish I could get back it would be my SNES that got carelessly tossed away by one of my relatives when they moved in to my grandmothers (I had it there so I had something to do when I'd stay the nights over).
Now thats a haul!
Just make it a even $5000
For real, the dude traveled there. Damn
Star Wars vhs trilogy is a 100 dollar bill
anyone know how much he really got ?
i know that’s a hard question but had to be around 15k atleast
obv i think alot more just threw a number out
Can’t possibly do that, after all this guy did drive from out of state with top quality goods. 50% my ass. They will triple their money at a minimum.
I'm just glad he did it to someone like Rick and game time instead of some jank pawn shop.
Always recognized your kind spirit and positivity in your videos. I often wondered “Is he a Christian?” Your “school of ministry” jacket confirmed it all. Love it! Makes me want to take a trip to visit your store all the way from Louisiana just to do some business with you. Keep the faith and keep up the great work!
I was the guy on set that threw the cat at the wall in that commercial....
I bought a dreamcast on release day too with my money I saved from my first job. I have a picture of me holding it with the date in the corner, 9-9-99.
I bought mine on that same day from the orange park mall in Florida. I played it for 10 minutes and returned it for a refund.
@@lucyloo2228 smart
Wow deal man keep it up and see you on the next one 😊😊😊
That SNES looked mint from what I can see. 😀👍👍
Yeah and no signs of yellowing at all, that's great. I do have a pretty mint condition SNES as well but there's a tab bit of yellowing where near the controller ports.
I *WANT* that Japanese Gameboy Pocket!
IM ADDICTED TO THIS CHANNEL 😂😂😂😂😂
He's gotta be in a tough pickle to sell his childhood and part of his identity for less than half of what it's worth. I hope your life turns around quick, man. Nothing lasts forever and whatever you're going through is just for a short season. Be well, friends!
dudes gotta stop selling their collections to scumbags
@@peepocozy8594 eh its a business first and foremost. Second is that its hard for most collectors to unload their collection in one go this easily so its a service to both of them imo.
I do feel bad for the dude and I am not criticizing him. I understand needing the money; I've been there, too. Not only did he sell his collection for less than half of what it's worth, but he stuck around for 6 hours + whatever driving he did. I can't even imagine wasting that much of my time to take that kind of a beating.
@@adamyeager Yeah I didn't even think about that, good point!
@@adamyeager who knows what he's going through a family member or him could need a life saving surgery and they are grabbing whatever money they can quick you never know right
Nice video Rick 👍👌😎
“Honey wake up! Retro Rick just uploaded a new video”🍿🔥
Pretty cool!
Loveyou Rick from the Philippines
Earthbound, always a classic on the snes.
Extremely awesome video retro Rick ❤ sincerely Wayne
Shout out retro Rick I'm Chad shouting out from Greenville NC
Nice!
Sweet stuff
Dang, I may have to take a drive out to Arkansas when I sell my collection. Our stores only offer like 30-40% in cash value
8:34 that felt very disrespectful throwing that box of games down like that!
I always love the comment cuz everyone becomes an expert and believe if it was them that they would have got 8,000$ for all that stuff when they know it’ll still be in their closet collecting dust until they die. 😂
When he said the super nintendo hurt the most i felt that in my sould i had life issues had to sell 160 games none of these were sports or your typical commons so it really hurt
"Sega CD power base converter"......... LoL!
Nice. 😊
Getting rid of a collection would suck but id imagine it would also allow you to buy back a more cherry picked version later, we all accumulate some purchases we arent that bothered about.
Sometimes I feel like Rick says "a lot of this is going in my personal collection" just so that the seller feels like the price is more reasonable. Kinda like Caleb, Phoenix Resale, did with the "Gamecube Collection of his childhood dreams." Idk though. I don't know the guys personally so it's not fair for me to say that, but it's the vibe I get. Really at this point I only watch this channel and Phoenix Resale because Riff's editing is the shit! Pixel Game Squad = GOAT!
The difference is that Rick actually has a huge collection filled with stuff from years of collecting. Phoenix resale just did it for the money for awhile
@@angrybirdbob2881 They are or at least were two different types of channels. Phoenix Resale is a resell youtube channel. He built a collection of his "childhood dreams" and said he would likely sell it in the beginning but keep the stuff he cherishes. Rick is more of a collecting channel but has more of the reseller components with the addition of his store.
@@Miji43 Rick always had reselling components. That’s why the $10 game challenge grew his channel so much. He was just more down to earth with collectors than Caleb has ever been. I like both channels don’t get me wrong, but Caleb has never felt apart of the actual collecting scene
@@angrybirdbob2881 I agree and it’s just two different approaches collecting vs reselling as the focus. Granted I’ve enjoyed watching phoenix’s channel grow over the years because I feel like he’s learned to enjoy collecting and gaming. Something he said he hasn’t done much in his past.
This is puuhh nice
Wait though, the stuff going to the personal collection shouldn’t be at 50% right??
My 3rd cousin have that Atari that looks like Atari 2600 that was said bought 70s or 80s. That gameboy pocket gray was i think we considered original and common here in Philippines around early 90s-early 2000s. Usually the only one's who can buy it was either rich or their fathers are working as marine engineers or what we call seaman here in Philippines. When I was in my grade school days we used to play in a gaming house with all Nintendo SNES consoles and the most popular games were play are mortal kombat and killer instinct then came playstation and number 1 was Tekken 3.hehe..
Retro rick you should do a store tour on whatnot
wow thats a deal of deals
1st viewer! I will come see your store in Conway soon!
