    I feel like it wasn’t long ago at all that this video was posted! Time really flies. I love this eBay series so decided to go back to watch the first episode again and I see that it was already 8 years since this first episode. Thank you so much for all your years of entertainment Pete!

    Mac has screen recording built in. You just run Quicktime then in the file menu select "New screen recording". You can select the whole screen, a region or a window to record.

    This series is incredible.
    I thought I was the only one who could hunt for a game for an hour & find it entertaining. The thrill of looking for something rare is so fulfilling.
    I'm currently looking up all the best deals on PAL 3DS games since they're all marked up compared to the US prices. Been finding some gems.

    Great video Pete. You gave some really good advice. You got a thumbs up from me and I really want to see more of these types of videos in the future.
    Also the screen recorder for Mac you're referring to I'm pretty sure is ScreenFlow. I brought it for my Mac and it really is great. It will really make things easier for you. I have been using a Mac for about 3-4 months now and it has been great.

    I am not against custom stuff, but with limited space I am very picky about what I choose to take up space. I once traded a complete copy of Panzer dragoon saga for a custom made ICO Sackboy plush, so I definitely make some exceptions.

    Mr. dorr i have always loved video games. Recently my drive to play them was lowered when i realized their have not been too many original titles out for the consoles i own. (pc, vita, and ps3) but after seeing your channel i invested in some older ps 1 titles that i really enjoy like RE and Syphan Filter. thank you for posting videos i watch all your stuff and it gets me looking for new titles to play :). Thanks

    I just bought a DS Fat and two Wii game from eBay this week. I bought The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and The Godfather: Blackhand Edition for the Wii. I traded both in to help pay for my Wii U and felt stupid for doing it, so I decided I was going to get them both since my wife was buying me an early birthday present. Then she told me to also get the DS Fat since I've been wanting one for a while. My wife just totally rocks hard!!!

  • @PeteDorr
    @PeteDorr  Před 11 lety

    I don't alphabetize my games. Crazy I know, but I am just not obsessed with keeping an order like that. i like having to browse through my games helplessly, sometimes I find something totally different to play than I was originally looking for.

  • @TravisNestor
    @TravisNestor Před 11 lety

    It's funny that you would say that. Although I'm personally indifferent on the matter, my sister just graduated from film school. Looking at many different schools, she found the common thing was they all required macs for their filming, recording, and editing processes.

  • @loubilly

    Great idea for a video Pete! In Australia, Amazon is pretty much out of the question, due to the massive shipping costs. Thanks so much for putting together a guide to Ebay, as it is a service we can use too :)

  • @PeteDorr
    @PeteDorr  Před 11 lety

    I would kill to have independent game stores or thrift shops by me. I beg to differ about ebay requiring no effort. It takes a lot of time and patience to find rare/unique items at a good price (and sometimes not-so-good-price) on ebay. I have bought tons of stuff on here that I would NEVER find in the wild.

  • @zai.90
    @zai.90 Před 8 lety

    More of a buy it now guy as well. I've also found that the quality of items are just higher for buy it now items (which is probably why it's listed at a higher price). I do go for auctions if it's a significant discount though. Got all three Saturn Panzer Dragoons for less than $400 a year ago through auction. If i tried that for buy it now listings, it would be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than $500. The funny thing is, the quality was perfectly fine once I replaced the horribly cracked jewel cases and got the discs cleaned (harmless scratches, but a lot). I could easily sell these now great condition games in the $600 range lol. Of course, I've no plans to sell off my collection heh. Some seriously useful tips here, though, even three years later. Thanks!

    i enjoyed the video. My Neato trick I do with acquiring some of the rare/valuable games is I nab a game thats say.... just the disc or catridge at a garage sale/flea market/variety store clearance etc. i purchase it for dirt or haggle it down.Then I patiently wait on ebay for the box/case/manual/inserts either by themselves for cheap or in some weird lot. I got the disc for Fire Emblem on wii for 5.00 at a flea market then i got the case/manual a month later on ebay...yes this method is patience

    @dogmd7 Před 9 lety

    Great tips, but I think eBay made this a lot harder now because when someone lists up something they pretty much show you what the going rate of the products are. It seems like lots are really the best ways to get rare gems, because individual games are likely to be raised up by the suggested price feature and trending prices.
