      The Bible says that no one is a good person. We have all broken God's law the 10 commandments, we have all committed, lies, adultery, idolatry, and blasphemy. We deserve hell, but because of what Jesus did on the cross we can be forgiven. So if you Repent of your sins, change your wicked ways, and put your faith in Christ you will be written in the book of life. 👌 🙏Repentance is reviewing one's actions and feeling contrition or regret for past wrongs, which is accompanied by commitment to and actual actions that show and prove a change for the better. ..

    Count your blessings, man. Around here the pawn shops don't have prices listed on the games. When you ask about one of them they take them over to the computer and go to ebay immediately. You will never find a deal. Ever. I honestly have no clue how they stay in business other than paying people with addictions 20% of the value for things that they steal for drug money. I have to live and die by the garage sales and estate sales. Great video as always.

    Okay your editor is worth every cent you spend on him! XD props to the UN Squadron audio in the last video I watched too! :D
    It's really fascinating to see how rural vs urban goes with this stuff, I'd wager overall rural would be better on average because the stuff would still get bought and subsequently sold to stores, but there's far less eyeballs looking at things the second they hit shelves?
    Very brave flipping The Prisoner! That Blu-ray epitomises why I find US prices so fascinating. You can still buy it new here for under $60! heh I guess international shipping and import duty busts that up though even if it is a region free release.

    Rural. Urban areas tend to have collectors and resellers hitting up pawn shops regularly.
    You can find some hidden gems in rural pawnshops that see very little buyers interested in video games.
    Have also found some rare horror VHS tapes in rural pawn shops that would never sit around for ages collecting dust in urban areas.

    I remember a couple years ago I went to this one pawn shop a TON. Like I got all my consoles and games there, it was $10 per disc game, from ps4 to GameCube they were all the same price. I also got my Xbox 360, GameCube and GameBoy Advance there. I miss that place, it closed down a couple years ago. Only pawnshop near me now is super rundown, and when u ask for the price of a game (they have no prices on them) the person behind the counter legitimately opens up an eBay scan app to give u the price. Aka no deals.
