    That Gameboy Advance is "The King Of Fighters DX Neo Blood Edition" based off the game. It's highly sought after. Especially if you can find one with the box!

    Actually, the hook at the top of the building is to get furniture up into apartments/homes/the building in general. In ye olde Amsterdam, buildings were taxed by their width! What this meant was that many very narrow buildings were made because it was much cheaper! The downside to this of course, being that the staircase etc become narrow too and it's impossible to move large furniture into the building, therefore the hooks are used to lift furniture up and into a window.

    As a resident in Amsterdam, i wouldn't call it 'bike-friendly'.
    Most streets are really narrow, one way streets. Not a lot of parking, and when there is parking it is really expensive. I mean, most people would buy a house for the price of a garage parking spot in Amsterdam.
    So it makes sense to own a bike when you live in the city centre (or a stupid thing like the 'Biro' or 'Canta').

    Amsterdam would be the most expensive place to find games there, like London would be here. In general older games are way cheaper here than in the US. Often you’ll pick up a games like ‘this is $30’ but here it’s like £5 on eBay. Enjoying this style of vids!

    • @Brady93

      Man it sucks that its almost impossible to try and game hunt in the uk. Unless its a rare game then you cant make anything, and finding a rare game is just stupid lucky. Cex prices all games off ebay so you cannot make any money on them

    coffeeshop ben on kolksteeg used to be my go to coffeeshop before the new school zone laws forced them to shut down. i have fond memories of taking the 11pm nonstop flight out of BOS to AMS, hop a taxi from schipol to inntel (great hotel) to check in, drop my bags in the room and immediately walk next door to ben's for coffee and a spliff to get the day started (back when you could smoke/roll tobacco inside coffeeshops). now a days i usually crash in jordaan when i make it out there at an airbnb spot. amsterdam is hands down one of my favorite cities to visit

Searching through the ds games that I have I didn't think of it to much but I found I have megaman starforce 2 zerker x saurian which to my surprise most listing's for cartridge only go for 80 to alittle over 100 dollars 🙂.

    On the subject of GameStop that was mentioned in the video. They actually pulled out completely from several European countries due to the fact that almost nobody buys games in brick and mortar stores anymore. It's all online nowadays. Even for retro games. There were allready tons of established sites for that when GameStop came to town.

    I live in the netherlands. If you buy a new game on release (€65) you can resell it for only €40 a week later. My nintendo switch, with skull and go grips, a V-grip, zelda botw incl. Expansion pass, skyrim, immortal fenyx rising, amiibo cards and 20+ digital games (both south park games, my time at portia, unravel 2 etc etc.) Max bid I got second hand was 360 euros. (New 'old' 2019 switch is 329 euros)
    Games you sell for 40 dollar go for less than 10 here.
