Just thought you should know, Daniel Pasina isn’t the voice of those characters. He’s the actor whose likeness was made into the game’s sprites.
Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real
Your heart sank when she said cash. Lol
The thing is, once you start offering more and more for the stuff the seller will get anxious and start to realize they're making a mistake and if you do end up completing the deal even after offering more you could leave them feeling regretful and unsure about what they just did. Match their ask and be polite.
These were my thoughts exactly. Well said.
Damm you can’t win you offer less you’re low balling you offer more you’re hurting the sellers feelings.
This is the craziest take I have ever heard.
A little more never hurt anybody, it’s more like a tip I guess. It’s the sellers job? To know what they have and price it as they please. I recently picked up a silver GameCube with a wired oem controller , wave bird with 2 receivers . Def jam vandetta, sonic battle adventure 2, Mario sunshine, NFS, Tony hawk. She wanted $25 she was willing to put it on hold for me even tho she said she got a ton of messages and when I went to pick it up I gave her $50
Ur a sucker
My dude, stop wasting money on ballasts and bulbs and go LED. You will save so much money!
You have to resell stuff...that takes time and the right buyer. Some people would rather the quick buck then do all of that. That said, there is a big difference in games vs some old lady not realizing her late husband car was worth millions in terms of robbery.
Phoenix Resale would've asked if there was any wriggle room on the $100 game bundle
The money comes from knowledge in how much games can sell for. Takes times to learn & gain all that knowledge. Knowledge he had but she didn’t. He paid more than she was asking for so that’s all we can ask for. Good for him for getting that score.
If you're going to sell something, it's your responsibility to do research on your product. And if you're the type of person who just wants to get rid of said product, then you're only going to get what you're willing to accept. I would consider that a huge deal!! Plus they put in the effort to clean the cartridges, they earned their profit!
If she brought the games to Rick's store and he paid that much would you feel the same she obviously didn't know games could be worth that much they took advantage of her ignorance
@@nightmarecow3631 Ignorance is bliss
@@nightmarecow3631- In this day and age of information being readily available at the push of several buttons in the convenience of your own home, any ignorant person can educate themselves about anything they have to see if it’s worth something.
Whether she had the foresight to do the research and possibly get more than what she bargained for is ultimately on her. Anyone who knew better could’ve educated her about the potential of getting more than what she was willing to accept, but it’s ultimately on her to know that potential. Any buyer wanting to take advantage of a great deal like that is simply taking advantage of a great deal. There was really no excuse for the seller to get in on a great deal herself given all it took was simple Google research.
I agree with David. Not my job to price another person’s items. If they’re happy with what they’re getting and I’m happy with what I’m paying then I don’t see anything wrong. Especially if I have to put my time and money into coming to you, cleaning and reselling.
@@robertallison3947 not saying they needed to price things just be transparent and tell them better options and if they still wanted to sell then that's great. Also it's not hard to clean games or resale
Ed boon has done scorpions voice since the original
Switch to LED bulbs
I once got a marketplace deal for a boxed complete Mint NES with a bunch of games and a Master System 1 with a load of games, some of which were pretty rare heavy hitters. Paid the seller double what they were asking for the lot and I still got a amazing deal. If I know I'm getting a deal I'll usually pay over asking. I was always brought up with the mindset that you get back what you give out. Worked out pretty well so far.
You need to do a parking lot sale to clear out a lot of that upstairs stuff.
Reconsider Limited Run - they are burning intentional DVR quality discs that do not work for people now. People are dropping them like a bad habit
Such a problematic company. I 100% refuse to support them.
@@KurenTV bought a Switch game from them and it came without the cartridge and it was fake sealed with shitty cellophane wrap.
LR has been trash for over 5 years since I know about them. The insane pre-order waiting times is out of this world.
I agree they are crap but that was only with one game and I’m sure they didn’t buy that copy
They need to go out of business. It’s worse than DKOldies.
I found a cib gameboy game while looking through a lady’s collection. She had no idea it was worth 2-300$; ended up giving her about 150 after letting her know it was worth more than the $10 she was asking
Giving what they are asking is on the seller. If you feel like they are way under priced you could offer more but that could have weird consequences. "Well how much are they really worth?"
What I find deplorable is asking for a lower price when you know it's a great deal. Saw something like this from someone on another CZcams channel. Pursuing the Correct Cost. Stopped watching after that. The discount wasn't much on an already crazy low price but it was the principle.
I give them my offer that I'm willing to pay, but I tell them what they could get for it if they put the time in to sell things off. More often than not, they just want to unload their stuff and aren't worried about getting rich off of it. Honesty and transparency will get you better deals than anything else.
I once bought a copy of Ninja Combat for the AES for $75 on Facebook Marketplace. When I got the cart it was unlabeled and when I plugged it in, it didn't work. I assumed I got ripped off but just incase I opened the cart and saw that it was an official PCB. I tried a little harder to clean it and when I plugged it back in I saw that it was Metal Slug (they had listed 3 games that included Metal Slug and Ninja Combat), I was tempted to just keep it but every thing in my collection was either a gift, something from my childhood or something I found out in the wild (ie, something with a story behind it). I figured that the seller had just made a very expensive mistake and the right thing to do was to message them and let them know. Unfortunately whoever they shipped the Ninja Combat to didn't feel the same way (the seller refunded me the $75 and I dropped the Metal Slug off at their house). At least I feel good about sending out some good into the retro community. Still haven't found a copy of Ninja Combat that cheap though :)
Nothing wrong with giving her 120 bucks. I would have done something similar myself. He basically helped the lady out giving her more even if it was just a little bit extra.
Agreed. He is thinking of his family too and it was exactly what she wanted.
It’s 2024, who doesn’t know that old video games are in and people are willing to pay top dollar for them. Who ever doesn’t know that is living under a rock!
I love this channel, it reminds me of my childhood, going to blockbuster on a Friday and renting a film and nes game, getting some sweets and locking myself away in my room trying to complete the game before it has to go back. Saturday morning cartoons then trying to recreate the cartoon story with my toys, bright garish colours. Lol 😂
Recently paid $200 for $900 worth of 64 games and had to do a lot of cleaning and 1 hour drive each way
They put the time and the effort into cleaning the games as well as the uncertainty that the games would work. Paying up is always a plus if you can / if you want too but it’s not required you satisfied her offer and gave some on top.
I own a video game store and I have never one time let them go without giving them the proper amount.
That said when I was a collector I would have still given her more than $120, but honestly probably around $200-$250 because I'd feel like...bad if I didn't.
I never feel good about taking advantage of people even if it's their responsibility to do research and find out what their stuff is worth. I also understand that people try to do this for a living to provide for their family, so no hate towards them at all. My heart just won't let me do it. I think Leviticus 25:17 says it best "Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God"
Looks like you need more shelving and to organize everything. You need a box bin, manual bin, few more game shelves ect.
My thoughts on it is that it's the sellers responsibility to research what the items are worth before selling not the buyer to tell the seller what the items are worth so if someone sells something for a fraction of what it's worth i'd buy it and not say anything and i would expect people to do the same to me if i sold something too cheap. But i really don't understand why people don't atleast do a quick google search before selling it only takes a couple minutes to do.
a few jokes:
"Just beat Castlevania and I'm still convinced that Simon Belmont is just a goth teenager in a bad 80s haircut Who needs a cape when you can have a mullet?" 😅
"Just spent the afternoon trying to beat Gradius without the Konami code and let me tell you, it was a workout... in my fingers and my sanity Thanks for the frustration and the nostalgia, Nintendo! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go ice my thumbs" 😀
So i thought a met you in Michigan yesterday. I was like what's up retro Rick what you doing in Michigan? He looked at me and said do I know you and my names not Rick and he sounded like DMX. Then I noticed he had 2 big diamond earrings. I said I'm sorry I thought you were retro Rick? He said who the Fword is retro Rick? I said a retro video game and pop culture guy that owns a store in Arkansas. He took out his phone and subscribed to your channel. Then he said I love Fwording retro sheesh.
They posted it they had the opportunity to look up everything if they wanted to. I would’ve taken it for the offering price which is amazing deal and that’s why we do this.
6:20 your Scorpion sounded Italian 😂
Getta ova herea 🤌🏼
As a fellow game store owner all of that stuff would disappear on eBay
The way people are today, if you tell them you’ll pay more than what they’re asking, you’re running the risk of them then looking up some of the prices. Sometimes you just gotta catch ‘em slipping or it may backfire 😅
This is exactly what I was going to say.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but when I get a N64 game that someone wrote on back in the day I like leaving it on the game. I feel like it adds character and its part of that specific games history. Especially when its the name of the owner. I had my name on all my games back than.
Daniel Pesina was a martial arts sprite model for Johnny Cage and the color swapped Ninja's started with the yellow Scorpion outfit.
It sounds like the seller had no attachment to the games and just wanted to be rid of them quick in a single lot. To get top dollar for things, you'd have to go about price checking each one, testing, cleaning, and hunting for a buyer for each one. Selling them all for so cheap in a single sale would save them time from doing all that.
I'd let her know, look you have one $375 game in here, probably over $500 in product here. Just dont want you to get ripped off and not even know it. If youre interest I'll give you about $200 for everything. Knowing I just offered you less than half of what I quoted, you gotta understand I need to value my time and knowledge. I gotta make a profit on this, so here's the offer. If you want to try and wait to get top dollar for all this, up to you, but I just dont wanna see an innocent person get ripped off.
If the seller recieveswhat they ask for a great deal like that then they are happy and thats fine. If a seller asks me how much im willing to pay i will low ball them every time because if they are worried about what they get then they should research it to know what to ask. There are only three occasions i come across where i will pay more and it would have to be a great deal like this before i would. First is if a child is selling their stuff and legitimately is trying to learn from it. Second is if the seller seems to be in a dire situation and it will help them out. Third is if it is an organization or fund raiser like a church, animal shelter, person raising money for themselves or family with medical conditions or things of those types and they must seem like they are being legit to me before i will. I will not however take advantage of someone who doesnt know what they have by lying to them in order to convince them what they have is worth nothing just to get them to come way down on their price. Ive seen that happen many times and i will step in. I dont care if it pisses the scammer off. You have to protect yourself and make a profit but you dont have to be a complete scumbag.
I mean it is what it is. If the other person is happy with the deal and they got exactly what they wanted for it. then there shouldn’t be a problem
Speaking of food, Rick clearly gave up on the workouts
When it comes to selling games, it’s your job to properly do the research to see what it’s worth. I can’t feel bad for that lady who sold all those GameCube/ps1 games for $100. Just look it up🤷♂️
( 41 yr old man ) There is noting wrong with making a honest deal. It's not your job to tell them what there item(s) is wroth. That is up to them, but being honest and paying a little above what they are asking when it's wroth it is just good honest business. Great job.
I got a lot of games and stuff worth over $1k for free. The family was moving and they just wanted it gone, I offered her cash and she said it was worth getting it out of the house before they moved in a week.
I've never bought on Marketplace but I probably would've offered more than $100 just to guarantee it vs someone willing to pay more to jump in line. For some reason a compilation of Pawn Stars hit my algorithm today where the lady asked for $2k and Rick said he had a conscience and offered $15k. She immediately asked for $17k to close the deal.. It's a fine line to toe especially if you do it to be nice
That would be bid up like crazy in my area. If you got it for $120 here you could rest assured the seller genuinely doesn’t care about higher offers.
If Phoenix resell is coming to the convention then we should boycott it until he's removed.
I would have probably gave $200 for the games considering the one PS1 horror games goes for almost $350
Bad at business
@dznutzonfyre4432 its called being a human what if she had some other stuff lying around even more valuable and realized you got over on her thats why a lot of ppl don't get called back that's my opinion
Pay them the asking price. Reap the low buy cost of the games and enjoy them. Or reap the rewards
The people out here saying the guy didnt Rob the person selling the games. are wild
have u ever had unexpected financiel problems and no money if so u would know that having stuff and needing to sell that stuff asap for money sucks because you cant wait with selling and getting a good price is hard close to impossible. having been there myself i have and always will regret the things i have sold in order to survive. these guys dont care about games they just wanna make some money horrible people imo. coudve atleast inform the person, But no Greed took over.
bad english not native language
I think it depends on the situation of the sale; if he/she looks like they could really use the money and clearly just didn’t have the time to research, then I would offer closer to value, but any other case, we’re both happy lol
I would do the same as him, I would give them a bit more but when it comes to a score sometimes you gotta hold your tongue
Do you have a website to buy products online?
He overpaid on what she asked. A deal is a deal, I would do the same
$120 was fair. I would have giving her $100 and keep it pushing!
really odd that they put game boxes up high, seems there is a better way to do this
Will Phoenix Resale be getting an early access pass to your convention and be buying all the handhelds and good condition first party nintendo games from everyone?
If a seller’s asking price isn’t the market price, that shouldn’t really be the buyers concern. They asked and received what they asked for. Ehhhup!
where do you get those game cover banners from
You pay asking price , if you’re inclined to give a little more , that’s up to you .
Being a business man myself... I would have given her asking price. Not a penny more. As long as all parties are happy that's all that matters.
As far as the deal. My dad has always said that you should always think about the other person and what kind of deal they got. Now if I’m going to a garage sale at a doctor’s house then yeah I’m not offering anymore money than what they are asking but if it’s a mother with kids and you can tell they aren’t just overflowing with money then yea I’m giving at least 50%.
I've scored some great deals too but a majority of it stayed in my collection. I think as you don't plan on flipping EVERYTHING a good deal is fine.
Would given her a bit more, maybe 25% of the worth at least
It's not the job of the reseller to inform the seller of the value of their items. It's the job of the reseller to make as much money possible by spending as LITTLE as possible. If the seller doesn't do their due diligence, oh well!
I wouldn't have given her anything. That stuff was filthy, a good way to mess up your retro consoles with dirty games. Plus the writing on top the N64 cartridges with black sharpie. Barf.
Resellers are just middlemen. They sell to a seller. Have well known NES games going for $200-$300 making them unobtainable for most people so the only people who collect video games anymore are the ultra wealthy and speculators who want to flip them at a later date. These people just make it harder for everyone to play older and rarer games and force people to pirate everything. Never mine the robber barons who collect and barter sealed games, guaranteeing no one on the planet ever plays them again. Great system we have. Let's keep sealing rare games until no copies exist that can be played.
He is literally the tool playing guitar!!!! 😂
"I have mouths to feed..."
..... and they don't?
Matrix insertion was ON POINT
Demon Turf is a good 3D platformer, but if anyone really loves 2d platforming, their first game "Slime-san" is a masterpiece IMO
I know some of y’all would have tried to talk her down to $75 😂😂😂
I'm of the mind that if you pay what they want, then it's fair. Sometimes you win and some times you lose so, so take the wins when you can and mouths to feed is as good a reason as any.
All depends on my situation, the person I'm buying from's situation. 5 years ago I would've said "can you do 75?" Today... I would've given her half of whatever I knew I was going to flip it for if I know the flip will be fast.
I would have gone $150, but what is $30 when the score is so huge. Good on you big man! Can't find a dang thing in my area lol
It really depends on the situation. If she's pulling up in a caddy using a $500 then hell no I won't offer more.
considering the work the put into cleaning the games , knowing their worth + the time and gas money to pick them up. I'd pay 250$, unless you knew they would spend it unwisely!
She'd have probably traded the games for a bag of blue skittles. XD
I’m all down to help out and being fair but we get cought up on monetary value a little too much sometimes. Sometimes people just want the stuff out of their house they don’t care how much it sells for hence why they don’t put the effort to find out how much it sells for. Sometimes people know how much it sells for but they don’t want to go through the trouble of selling it. We see this every week on some form or another. Value is at times subjective and relative. I think it’s cool he gave her more but I also wouldn’t have hold it against him if he didn’t. It is nice to be nice though
Normies don’t care if they ask $100.00 give them $100.00
Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay.
7:04 I watched the matrix for the first time yesterday right before going to your store. HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO SCAN MY BRAIN, AND USE IT FOR MARKETING PURPOSES! (lol I’m going to be honest, I’m VERY EXCITED to go to retro fest!) STAY RETRO! Edit: my answer to your question at the end is I would pay about 150-160 depending on how bad the condition of the games were, but considering I don’t always have 150 to spare, 120 is probably a good amount for a impulse buy.
Based on that pic. Those games were pretty dirty. Plus they said “only 20 bucks in gas” to check it out. That’s gotta be kinda far then? I drive a civic. Though that’s like a weeks worth of gas lol.
Look at USPS parcel ground, about the same shipping time, but cheaper
I would just pay whatever the person was asking for. Even if somethings worth more, they probably wouldn't care that much to be honest. I've sold super expensive games like Hagane for SNES for like $25. I didn't really care about the price at the time.
I live in the UK and when it's bootsale season if I'm out hunting toys then I pay what's asked of me if I see it fair , altho if I go to buy something and it's a child selling to buy more toys then I have no problems with giving extra , at the end of the day it's a life lesson they learn and it's obvious to me if the parent is letting the child price and sell their items then they are already off to a good start😊, games are hard as our second hand stores now charge a flat £10 rate in anything mainstream Nintendo even if its essential worth pounds , they now employ people to ebay stuff so rarely does a gem slip thru the cracks , unfortunate for me yes but I've had plenty of happy years hunting before the change 😊
I would pay the asking price. The seller is the one in control and sets the price.
Don't worry man, i just bought 2k worth of books for 200 bucks.
If this guy had a delivery service to the UK I'd buy a shit load from here 👍
All the stuff up stairs why not sell on eBay and have upstairs as an eBay resell area selling stuff u can’t instore?
Let’s me real if people are that stupid to sell stuff without looking it up then that’s on them
I would have asked her if she’d take 80
Depends on how much labor went into cleaning those games tbh.
It’s not hard work.
Let's just say that's the type of person who cares only about himself. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ probably feels like he did nothing wrong... karma comes around!!
I would have gave her 200 US cash for all of it
Saw that manual to NES Anticipation by the turtle. My ADHD brain has all the songs from that game playing in my head 24/7
I would of gave that person the price they ask for. It is not the person problem if they don't do research. It is not the buyer problem to hold your hand like a child to educate the seller. If the buyer knew what she had and wanted the item knowing its a hot item, He can offer them more to sealed the deal. Knowledge is not free.
Had this person on market place bought 2 rare first gen toy story toys. She didn't realize they were first gen under a specific brand and movie size toys. She post it for only $20.00 each. She didn't reply at first and i knew how much they were worth and i offer her a little more to seal the deal. She said i was busy at the time and wasn't trying to ignore you I sell it for $20.00 each.
I sold one for $300.00 and she notice i had the other one listed for $300.00 she got butt hurt and call me out during a 2nd conversation we had. I told her well you were not honest with me, Item is listed as new, The item was open box. It would of been a lot more if completely "new". I told her knowledge is the key, She stated i will not make that mistake again wtih the movie size. I told her it isn't just about the movie size, It was about the brand and generation. Told her the price i sold the one of the toy story item and block her, Day's later sold the other one. I was not that mad about the listed "new" since it was open box it is still worth a ton even at used price. I was shock.
Not the buyer problem if the person does not have knowledge. Not their responsibility
Please make some of the retro con merch available online!
I always pay the asking price if its a good deal. If they came up with that number, there is no shame in accepting it. Now if you lowball someone with a low offer or counter offer then you are a scum bag...lol
he had to clean and test the games, youre taking a risk the games work
