Resellers don't give a shit about much. He probably ships $50+ games in bubble mailers too. Probably doesn't even clean anything, just sends games out with pubic hair and 30 years of dust and grime on them
ya same for a guy who gets super excited about games...he only cares about the money not the people he sales it to kinda disappointing personally wouldnt get anything from resalers
I don’t understand why a guy buying games from pawn shops is making some of you guys mad? If he was going to Walmart and buying every copy of a new release then sure I get it. But a pawn shop? Come on guys. Great vid man, I love watching these! So keep it up!
Hey mate, wanted to say thanks for the video. I saw Asura’s Wrath on the PS3 in my local op shop today after watching this video for $5 and immediately grabbed it. We can’t sell used games on Amazon here in Aus but eBay comps were also insane. Thanks again, I definitely learn so much from watching you
From my small amount of knowledge and my own experience, people feel ‘safer’ buying from Amazon due to the “better” customer service. I believe it’s due to the higher regulations and obstacles that sellers have to go through in order to sell on Amazon. So people don’t care if they pay more money because they believe that they’ll get better service, especially if the item is bad and they have to return it. After being an eBay seller, I don’t think it’s worth it to pay more 🤷🏻♀️
They can buy on amazon. I’ll buy on eBay and sell on amazon. I was able to get afrika on PS3 cib for 80$ on eBay. Mint. I could list on amazon for 200$. One thing I hate on eBay is even if you have a no return policy, eBay has a guarantee so they can return it.
People will pay more to get something in 2 days and no question returns. The fees on amazon are higher but you make soooo much more. People trust that they won't get crap like you can on ebay. People buy on ebay and flip to amazon FBA all the time. It's a big business.
Gotten asura's wrath a few years ago for $1 from a guy who hated it cause there's no ending to the game. Almost pass on it but decided to pick it up just because I needed it for my collection. Was a good decision I'll say lol.
I completely agree with all these statements. My local GameSpot had 3 copies for cheaper than he paid. I dont know how he will get over $100 for this. Please explain....I could make a killing if making $ is this easy.
I played gauntlet dark legacy and phantasy star online 1 and 2 on GameCube as a kid and loved both. Had so much fun with my friends we still talk about both of those games to this day. So much nostalgic behind them. They are going for crazy cash online. I'm so surprised not more ppl know about these gems. Your channel is great man! I have low key been waiting for you to find either game. You may have in previous videos but this is the first time I've seen you find 1 and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Thanks for entertainment. Cheers!
I am originally from Alabama and never heard about this but now live in Arizona where we have a GameStop and locally own game stores on every corner which is overall nice haha
Its probably a regulation where you cant have new and flashy signs. I live in a town that is considered historic so in the downtown they are not allowed to have fancey signs and stuff on display in the stores. It all has to look like it was from the 1800's
I was in Kontrol Freak Games in Pigeon Forge, TN a couple weeks ago and saw Paper Mario for the GameCube priced at $120. Blew my mind lol. I just picked up a new GameCube AV cord for about $10. Cool place if you're ever that way. Had a lot of retro consoles and games.
congrats on the azuras wrath pickup. i had no idea the game had gone up. i was like damn i remember buying this for the 360 in 2014 thinking now wish i got it for the ps3. but i checked and it’s gone up on 360 to maybe around 50 or 60 usd and i paid 18 usd so yayyyy
FYI the only way to have a manual with tales of Symphonia Collection on PS3 is to own the Collector’s Edition. Namco did this for the vast majority of PS3 Tales games.
I found a lot of games with console for 25 and was shook when I saw one of the games included it’s a classic and the game itself is my money back and more 😁
I live in the Corbin area, and it is tough to find games at Pawn Shops there because of the Game King that is also downtown. So most people in the area know what games are worth.
Man I envy being able to buy games like this! I honestly have been through so many consoles, sold so many cause of addiction, needing money, that nowadays I stick to emulation for most consoles that can be emulated. I mean Pokemon games for example, I prefer to play on my pc with a controller with the ability to edit the roms, and speed up the gameplay. I still have a 3ds and all the Gen 4 and later games, and a switch, but Ive gone through like 4 gameboy advances, 2 gameboy colors, 1 original GB, 1 GB pocket, 2 original DS, 2 3DS XL, 3 PS2, 2 Xbox 360, 1 Dreamcast, 2 gamecubes, 1 original xbox, 2 N64, 2 PSP, 1 PSVita, I had to sell allllll of them, and Id rebuy them when I was doing better, then later need money and resell again. I see people with a passion like this for collecting the games and I wish I'd at least sold them to someone like you, rather than just getting ripped off by Gamestop/EBGames over the years cause I was a worthless junkie that needed pill money. I collect so many things, sports memorabillia, cards, pokemon cards, beanie babies, retro games, that my rule is, if I can play it 100% with emulation, I do it. I still have a lot of older consoles but, if I could only go back in time,,, would take easily $20,000 to buy everything I used to have. Still have my favorite console ever Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Gamegear, SNES, Dreamcast, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox One Xbox360, Gamecube, 3DS, Switch, and 4 different pc's and 2 laptops for gaming lol. Still have enough games to fill a libary bookshelf, but its depressing thinking about what I could have. I feel like if you're a pure collector, buying the actual games is a good investment, but if you purely want to play a game, for me, i just like playing on my PC and I never really plug my consoles in anyways :( my games just sit there collecting dust. Its just easier using savestates for someone with migraine issues like me, disabled, health problems, I cant replay the same part over and over lol. Thats how I sleep at night, I just tell myself hey, I can play all the games anyways, so no need to cry about the past!
Guys like him really irritate me. No love more games or the hobby and community. Just looking to make a quick buck. I can only hope so many resellers flood the market and making where these guys can’t make lots of money doing this.
When I first played asuras wrath I was enraged that it was such an overlooked game but it's nothing but over the top and my guy has enough anger issues to make hulk look at him like a crazy 🤣🤣
Hey Phoenix on the 3Rd of this Month I went To the Quintard Jewelry and Pawn in Anniston Alabama and bought Grand theft Auto 5 and Dead Rising 1 and 2 and Dead Island Definitive Edition for the PS4 and a PS5 EVIL DEAD game and 6 DVDS and 1 Blue Ray for only $45.00 and the PS5 EVIL DEAD game was still sealed
I'm surprised that Guitar Hero Live is going for around $30. Even when this video was uploaded, they had already shut down the servers for GHTV which was the bulk of the game. It dropped the total song count from several hundred down to about 25 or 30.
Wow I gotta start selling on Amazon...that's more around 75-80 on ebay. Not a game I see very often. The few times I have they're usually just the disk
Fun video! Do you have any tips on how to keep your volume and the musics volume at the same level? I’ve struggled with this when I’ve tried to use music. It seems like your sound was a consistent level throughout!
Haha you’re the first one to ever notice that. In my editing software I can see the waveforms of the audio so I just try to match them up more or less.
@@PhoenixResale I figured it was something like that. I’ve been using some random editing software. It may be time to upgrade to something more sophisticated.
Unfortunately that Asura’s Wrath isn’t complete. Couldn’t believe it when you said how much it was going for, and went to see if I still had it. Has a manual and everything.
This man visited my home town and actually made a profit. I cant believe stuff like that was even around. But tazewell isnt in kentucky, it's in Tennessee. I'm still subscribing because you cant bargain with great content
Interesting channel, I guess this is the 21st century of hunting for gold trying to find whatever at ridiculously low prices and then try to profit on ebay or amazon. I suppose this is an interesting idea for those that want to make the effort to see if there's any hidden gems to those of us who live in basically the middle of nowhere where there's not much competition or knowledge of the worth of these games.
sometimes i wish i would live in the US. Just for the thousands of Pawn shops. Here in Germany there is just 1 Pawn Shop in a Big City with 1 million people, and there's just junk in it.
Nice finds man. I bought a stack of loose discs at the flea for 3$ and in that stack was azuras wrath and ncaa 14 Xbox 360. Minimal scratches. The rest was trash. How much were they selling the PS3 controllers nib?
Shylocks Pawn had The Guardian Legend for NES complete in box (or i assume it's complete in box) for only $25. It resells for $75. Man, I wish I was there to have bought it. even though I already own it complete in box. I wouldnt have mind owning a second copy or to resale it later on. Its my favorite video game of all time. so I pretty much crapped myself when I only saw it for $25.
A bit late on my part, but what app were you using to scan the different video games as well as what shop do you primarily sell too (seemed like amazon to me but I'm probably wrong)?
This also allows you to sell games you wouldn't make anything on ebay with. Plus your already shipping stuff in so why not send in the cheaper stuff too!
His heart dropped when he saw Asura's Wrath, mine dropped when I saw how he grabs the discs
For real lmao
Damn that was so amateur

@@ItamiSenpapi So you don't buy games from pawn stores, video games stores, retail stores, etc? How on earth do you buy any games? lmao

Great vid man, I love watching these! So keep it up!
Mad cause they didn’t do it first
Hey man i know your channel isnt as large as it should be but i really appreciate all the knowledge you drop for free.
it eventually will be it just takes time. mr beast didnt start with 20mill views. he start with 1, then 10, then 500, then 10k thenm 100k etc...
I have watched your videos for a a little while now and just now heard the name Mr. Beast yesterday from my 5 year old 😂

Boggles my mind my people buy games on amazon for 40% more then they could get them on ebay.

@@imthemapimthemap that what I mean. To me ebay is a very reliable service. I've never used Amazon ever to buy anything. It's overpriced.
They can buy on amazon. I’ll buy on eBay and sell on amazon. I was able to get afrika on PS3 cib for 80$ on eBay. Mint. I could list on amazon for 200$. One thing I hate on eBay is even if you have a no return policy, eBay has a guarantee so they can return it.

And yet in regards to magic the gathering sealed product, Amazon is way worse to buy from than eBay.
Man...I so regret not picking up Asura's wrath when I was under $20 at Gamestop...great finds!!
I actually live in tazewell and haven’t been in that last pawn shop in yearssss, they’ve improved a lot! Good to see, definitely stopping by soon!
Gotten asura's wrath a few years ago for $1 from a guy who hated it cause there's no ending to the game. Almost pass on it but decided to pick it up just because I needed it for my collection. Was a good decision I'll say lol.
My heart skipped a beat over donkey Kong konga drums too , cuz the tempo changed 😂 😆 😝
That pikachu vcr was awesome I've never seen one in person.
Just the VCR without remote and memory card sold for $320 on Ebay. I haven't watched all the video yet, maybe he buys it.
@@DrifterThrifters yea I would've talked them down a little and try to get it cheaper but just with all it came with it would be worth picking up
what card comes with the vcr?
It is now currently just $50
can't believe Asuras Wrath is so expensive, it was like a 10-15 dollar GameStop game before.
I’ve been into games my whole life. Stumbled across this channel. I’m quite confident I could still find it at GameStop for $5
It’s not that uncommon of a game.... Also, you need to buy the DLC to really complete the game’s story......
It was on the returned shelf at Game stop all day long.
I've gotten two copies. One at gamestop, one at at a flea market. I gave less than $5 each for them.
I completely agree with all these statements. My local GameSpot had 3 copies for cheaper than he paid. I dont know how he will get over $100 for this. Please explain....I could make a killing if making $ is this easy.
I randomly (TH-cam made me) found u and retro Rick . Glad to see good dudes on the come up collaborate.

Keep up the reselling, and great content. It is awesome that your channel is growing!
Duuuuude some solid finds. Did my
First little road trip find the other day. Loved it. Keep it up man!
nothing like a good ride along 🙌 nice pick ups mate

Just discovered your channel and you already motivated me to start flipping some game!
That’s awesome John, thanks for the support!
This channel has made me hate the word “folks”

Really feel like I need to leave the big city I am in and do a weekend road trip in some of these rural towns... so much less competition.
I would have snagged that VCR for sure, maybe they would have discounted that too? Looked awesome
Truth
Found your channel recently and keep grinding you make solid content.
When I first saw Guantlet Dark legacy I was thinking you'd better get it. Love that game and it has gone up a lot in value.
I love the Middlesboro/Harrogate/Tazewell area. A lot of people overlook East Tennessee and Kentucky, but it's so beautiful!
Harrogate and tazewell is TENNESSEE YA'LL
I enjoy your sourcing trips but would like to see some sales as well. Only sourcing gets a bit repetitive
Very true. I know he sells Amazon but I am super curious the turnaround of how fast what he picks up sells
I try to sprinkle those in periodically. They just don’t get any views and take more work.
JRPGs on PS2 and PS3 are just too good man, and i can see why they have such a high demand since a lot of them are stuck in these old consoles.
congrats on the azuras wrath pickup. i had no idea the game had gone up. i was like damn i remember buying this for the 360 in 2014 thinking now wish i got it for the ps3. but i checked and it’s gone up on 360 to maybe around 50 or 60 usd and i paid 18 usd so yayyyy
This channels popularity took a LEAP forward from when I would watch this guy
Great video you have really inspired me to want to get into reselling
You need to come up north in Kentucky near Cincinnati we have so many pawn shops tons of games…
Just got a R&C a crack in time and Q-force, CIB for £4 ($5.50) each from a charity shop here in UK. Super happy with those pickups.
FYI the only way to have a manual with tales of Symphonia Collection on PS3 is to own the Collector’s Edition. Namco did this for the vast majority of PS3 Tales games.
Great background music. Now I´m addicted to Patrik Patrikios beats.
I found a lot of games with console for 25 and was shook when I saw one of the games included it’s a classic and the game itself is my money back and more 😁
Looks like a weeb unloaded their entire PS3 collection at that pawn shop you got Asura's Wrath from. Some really good games in that case.
What's the name of the app you use to check prices?
That’s what’s I’m trying to figure out, if you do please let me know

Congrats on getting a spot hopefully u make out like a bandit
I nerd out so hard whenever I see Gamboy games or Ps2 games.
Why is asura's wrath on the ps3 going for a high price now?
Do you have to pay for shipping when u send your games into Amazon
Yes, However the shipping is neglieble as the cost on my last box was less than 5 cents an item.
This also allows you to sell games you wouldn't make anything on ebay with. Plus your already shipping stuff in so why not send in the cheaper stuff too!
