That dry erase board goes for $20-$40. You got hosed. The problem is doing thorough research on the spot can be difficult. I'm surprised you didn't counter at all.
It takes maybe 2-3 mins at most to check between 3-5 different sites for pricing on sold listings. A lot of their items in the video are overpriced which makes sense why they have sooo much stock
@@AndrewBoersma I think some places build a Faraday cage around the perimeter since I've had trouble looking up info at times (I've never been to that particular store). I try to look things up on the sly though so that I can better bargain; however, the host here, being out and open with the filming, could also have been upfront that he wanted to do some quick research before countering. If it's a more obscure item that pops up only in forums, well, good luck doing that in under five minutes
I was a fighting game type (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom) but also loved the driving sims. However, my favourite arcade game by far was the 1994 co-op Alien Vs Predator side scroller - still such a fun game if you can get your hands on a decent version of it and (more importantly) convince three other people to join you.
I have that PVC Mario doll that was made in 1989. It is complete. The one at the store you showed seems to be missing a hat. I bought it from Toys "R" Us in Pensacola, Florida.
This is the same store that was selling banned games at the convention... and I've had terrible experiences with them in-store. I won't be giving them my business again.
7:59 Shoutout to 99Vidas, a great beat em up game based on a brazilian podcast with the same name. It's a gaming podcast with a big focus on retro gaming and old memories. Realy nice to see a collector's edition out there.
you should've went to Vacuums & Videogames and Clarkade in Dayton while you were down there. Those two stores would blow you away with the kiosks and heavies
It costs a lot more to run a store and pay for employees and a place to sell stuff out of than it is to sell something online with infinitely less overhead
This store in particular is the most ridiculously overpriced one I've ever been to and I've traveled all over the country visiting game stores. It's a huge yikes.
@@rottenandrude6669 after seeing that 100 dollar price tag on that Mario dry erase thing, I am inclined to agree with you that maybe they are aggressively on the high end
@@bradtraq1 fully understand the business aspect lol don't mind paying like 5-10 but paying 15+ maybe 1.5-2x the price, that's where my comment comes into place
Obviously I’m old but Arch Rivals was my favorite arcade game from back in the days! 3 on 3 basket-brawl! My favorites were Galaga and Mrs PAC Man but in the early 80’s we had things called lock outs at arcades after hours and all the older kids put tons of quarters on the screens so I became a fan of…..
Go to Arcade Game? The answer is Final Fight.......put so much quarters in it. That's the ''first'' full game I have ever finished. Cheers from Québec 🤘
Im almost 37, caught my kids watching pokemon today. Made them pull up the original. Told them I have pokemon stadium on n64. I have pokemon yellow and still live in the world nothing matters besides red blue and yellow
Holy crap someone else knows mazzio's? We had one in Valdosta Ga when I was growing up. Thought it was the only one. Played spyhunter and double dragon.
15:23 i don’t have much of a collection, definitely don’t have anything super rare, but i do have that “insanely rare $100 mario dry erase board”, my wife got it at an antique mall for $7.49
Half if not most of the stuff they had listed in the video were overpriced or just slightly market price. That erase board is about $20-30 on average haha
@gilbertoarellano8525 I have had many stores offer 60% plus for great condition games. And I too live in the Midwest. Maybe check out some more options mate
@@gilbertoarellano8525 Here are some tips (only if the store feels good to the consumer) 1. Become friends with the owner/workers. 2. Don't try to get things like Madden, Just Dance and Shovelware for trade-ins 3. You will get more for credit as opposed to cash 4. Avoid trading to GameStop if you can help it
Ohhhhhhh. Big no no. "If it's not I might have another one I could swap it out for." If memory serves, and this is how Walmart started catching people, but if memory serves, game consoles are actually linked with the SERIAL NUMBER ON THE BOX. You might have a complete in box console, or think that you do, but if the serial number on the device doesn't match the box, you've been had
Stores like this always puzzle me. You only van have this good of a stock if your prices are on the higher side, but you also need sales. I wonder what their pricing is.
Are you in Arkansas? You can jump on I40 and come to Shawnee Oklahoma we have two mazzios pizza, they currently have a cheese stuffed crust, and if you like spicy, get on with Ken's spicy red sauce! 👍

Hii Mr. Retrorick🤫🧏
3pm central i bet is what you're referring too. I have to be at work just as your start this. I won't be able to join in T_T.
Got a Gameboy collection with 500+ North American titles and no duplicates. Interested?
Rick's personality is so magnetic! Key thing is he's always respectful to others and that is our common language as human beings
Nothing in this video is 1 of 1
Wipe your mouth off
That Nintendo cabinet is lush ❤
It seems to me (with this store at least) that it's easy to keep rare and expensive games when you way overprice them. May sell some. But not many.
When i was kid there was a final fight arcade at my local fish and chip shop. My dad would always let me play it. Good memories.
Yes! I am so thankful I got that Sega Cabinet. 🙌🏻 love seeing all of the display cabinets and other fun items in this store. :)
My go to arcade game is 1942. Still love it.
Carnevil, Rush 2049, Tekken all made up my arcade at the local bowling alley. Truly a great memory I'll always have
MK2 / MK3 was the absolute go to for me whenever I hit the arcade. Sock full of quarters, life could never be better!

Okay Maximillian Dood 😂
i love the duke controller, and its literally like a time traveling device holding one. Im instantly taking back to playing
Street Fighter vs. X-Men at Skylight roller rink in Worcester, MA circa 1994.
Retro Rick: “What separates you from other game stores?”
5:47
Employee: “Well, we definitely don’t clean our consoles.”
My arcade love was the 6 player Xmen cabinet!! LOVE that game!

Area 51. I used to crush that back in the day at arcades. I literally had the positions of the aliens for the vast majority of the game.
Street Fighter, Black Tiger and Double Dragon - arcade games I played the most. Cheers!
Mazios was in St. Louis as well. Loved it. Was a good alternative to the shrinking Pizza Hut buffets
Mazios was awesome
Shinobi at the local campground rec center and MK2 at Aladdins castle.
Super fun vid with awesome content - RetroRick goodness
NBA Jam and Crusin USA was my go to game at the arcade.
Black Tiger, Double Dragon, Robocop, Daytona USA, Addams Family Pinball.
@@noneatthistime all great games!
This is the same store that was selling banned games at the convention... and I've had terrible experiences with them in-store. I won't be giving them my business again.
Dirty store. Miserably hot. Broken/defective games. No return policy. Vulgar pricing. What's not to like?!
OK. The Super Mario Bors 2 phone was quite cool. Loved the box art!
I JUST BOUGHT A GAME BOY COLOR GRAIL TOO!! THE POKEMON SILVER GOLD LIMITED EDITION!!! HYPED!
Mortal Kombat at the Skating Rink, during breaks I would clean out the crane machine and bring home all the plush glory!

Both incredible stores!
Hydro Thunder was my go to arcade cabinet every time!
Love hearing the donkey kong country music. I still have my Super nintendo and dk country
Its crazy how video game stores are always overpriced when you have way better odds just buying online for cheaper with shipping
It costs a lot more to run a store and pay for employees and a place to sell stuff out of than it is to sell something online with infinitely less overhead
This store in particular is the most ridiculously overpriced one I've ever been to and I've traveled all over the country visiting game stores. It's a huge yikes.
It's because they have overhead. Rent on the building, payroll for employees, taxes, etc.

That planner is $40 on eBay. They trying to tax the dude!
Par for the course in that store.

Woot a new episode! 😊
Whoa check out the N3Ds selection.... 0:28-0:36
My game was spy hunter. I used to go to the local greyhound bus terminal to play it all the time
Holy crap someone else knows mazzio's? We had one in Valdosta Ga when I was growing up. Thought it was the only one. Played spyhunter and double dragon.

@@AndrewBoersma yeah, there’s no way i’d pay $100 for it. honestly i’d say $10-$15 would be the most id pay
Man that Tiger Electronics Baseball was my whole childhood and it just got tossed to the side without a mention hahaha
Love all that weird Mario stuff! You never know what’s out there
Love your vids! Cool to see you here on Rick’s channel
11:04 its a monster jam monster truck i have the pull around rev ones.
Rick, it hurts when we have to go 3+ weeks without videos, but this was a good one nonetheless 😃
I believe it when Rick says he is jealous.
looks like rick is too too nice with the overprice bs this store sells 😂🤣 i love rick
My go to arcade game was the Area 51 arcade shooter. I knew the first couple levels by heart.
I am thankful for Retro Rick!
Cruising USA I played the heck out of that and Marvel versus Capcom two
NBA Jam was my JAM!!
Same!!! He’s heating up!
Wow that Mario merchandise was freaking amazing!
2:25, is that a sealed Tysons Punch Out?
Mazzios pizza = G.O.A.T. - still very popular here in Oklahoma.
I played NFL Blitz at Pizza Hut after school it was one of my favorites and NBA Jams I was always there playing not even there for pizza lol
Rick, they hosed you on that mario dry erase board. They sell on ebay for like 20-30 bucks max.
Geez that metroid statue was sweet.
RoadBlasters and Spy Hunter at Kendall Park Roller Rink.
2:44 no my guy, you were effectively throw paper that had spells on it as Pocky was a shrine maiden
Never knew about this place! Will make a stop on my next trip home!
Oooh baby! Here we go!
youtube and sneakerhead syndrome has ruined collecting old plastic crap, but we love it!!! insane shop though
I remember getting that Mario bubble bath back in the day at Grocery Outlet. Mom only agreed because it was 99 cents.
66% trade-in for rare and experience games actually isnt that hard to believe. My local store gives me %70 trade-in for great condition games.
Consider yourself lucky anywhere in the Midwest area trade in is 30-40% regardless of condition.

The three arcade games I played the most at restaurants etc are Simpsons, Street Fighter, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
3 gems
Literally my choices too 😂
Same !
Really cool.

The best buy was the Mario cup with dangling feet for sure.

All time fav arcade game has to be crazy taxi!!!

Simpsons Arcade was my go to

The 1983 Star Wars arcade game at Aladdin’s Castle in the Tippecanoe Mall, Lafayette, Indiana!
Hey Rick, that Mario drink cooler I just saw Ed from Ed's Retro Geek Out just bought one from his latest video...gotta check that one out
That Blitz/NBA Showtime IS my arcade holy grail. I will have it one day
Always a great video
He’s amazed they have inventory instead of just kiosks and statues that aren’t for sale
Loved Blitz back in the day!
Another fantastic video❣❣❣❣
That donkey Kong was monter truck in monter jam
Tie between gauntlet legends at the old Wal-Mart and ghost busters at Kmart
