one of the best finds Ive ever seen... keep it up!
Congrats on the 100,000 subscribers
@@Jackie_Fhan it’s a business , and you don’t even know the final price they negotiated on yet
Congrats on 100K! 🎉
I see leave us with a cliffhanger
If you score this deal, we better see every box, disc, and cartridge. I don’t care how long the video is.
Livestream?
Oh man. Picking finds like this storage unit is the video game collector's DREAM. I would've LOVED to find even just those empty cases. Preserving them is like preserving a piece of Americana and culture as far as I'm concerned. The retro decades of the 80's/90's were just the best. Gaming qualities were still at their peak, video games were actually GREAT.
If I found a storage unit like this on my own dime I would probably be able to die happy and feel complete with my life. Keep living the dream, guys!
As a VERY strong supporter of keeping the CHOICE between physical and digital media alive, you have my heartfelt thanks for digging for these finds and putting in all that hard work.
This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. You could literally order the cartridge for each of those boxes, then resell them as complete and probably make all your money back for the whole unit. Just goes to show how important those connections are! Keep at it Rick.
PS:cant believe you left us with that cliffhanger.
That is 110% correct
the games are there already lmao
The way he plays mind games with the seller “oh they’re just boxes” “we can get them out of your hair” as if he’s doing the seller a favour and not lowballing to make a mint on his CIB collection. Ruthless
What a treasure trove! Ida had a heart attack in there. Months of work to do. The most fun work on Earth. Heart palpitating negotiations bro!! Well done.
ha thanks my friend...killer score for sure!
Damn, Caleb is somewhere asking why he didn’t get this holy storage unit lmao
He would be to be busy scanning everything while everyone’s grabbing the good stuff lmfao
He would have spent 8 hours scanning to offer the guy $200 for the whole storage unit and then changed it to $180 at the last second all while complaining about there not being “much meat on the bone”.
id tell him to back off..these games are mine!!!!
@@JoseHernandez1994 Why be this guy? 💀 He’s not even like that.
@@FireSpinGaming exactly! Lmao he has sold so many games but still doesn’t know the worth of tons of games that he should know are worth money. I did it part time and I have a pretty good memory of games that are worth flipping.
Dam Rick pulled a "Next time on Dragonball Z" move on us.
hahaha , vid was getting too long!
@@retrorick when u going to post other vid
@@retrorick 😌 Then shorten it, don’t cuck us at the end like that.
Rick: “These will be great for the collection and get these out of your hair.” I love it lmaooooo, containing his excitement.
Honestly would have loved to see Rick get it all 😂😂. But I respect the splits since Rick got put on to the unit
haha i was freaking out internally
Yeah some would've flipped tf out
They were very stuck in his hair lmao good of rick to help him relieve him of all that clutter
You could sense the desperation in Ricks voice 😂
this guy's oddly rough with the things he handles.
To have the self control to not let out a "holy crap" or "omg" when some of those boxes and drawers were opened shows the control of a true business man.
This is insane! Can't wait to see part 2!
Congrats on 100k, man!
Is there a part 2?
@@CartridgeChronicles There was, yes.
@@RetroMoments I can't find it. It's not in order on the video list.
Hey Rick
Been watching your channel for a couple of years now and I'm finally getting around to posting my first comment. Your content is some of the most entertaining as well as informative videos that I've come across. As a kid that grew up in the 80's and 90's, so much of what you come across stands out to me and the nostalgic feelings that just flow through when you find old games, toys, and movies that defined who we were as kids of that generation and have not seen or heard about in decades is phenomenal. What you have done and continue to do with this channel is amazing and inspires me to keep going with my own collection so that the nostalgic times of the 80's & 90's never die. Words simply cannot express how much I appreciate all of the content you post. Keep up the incredible work!
One of the best comments/compliments I’ve ever gotten…thank you so much for the kind words my friend!
@@retrorick is there a part 2 to this??!!
How in the world does this guy have a game store and not interested in all of this product!?
That's the real question here
His store only does board games, Magic the Gathering, D&D etc. He only had interest in keeping the super popular games to bring more people into his store.
@@chuckjeffcoats5466 Gotcha. That makes more sense! Must have missed that in the video ;)
I got so mad at the "to be continued" at the end. That's how you know this is an amazing video! I cant wait for part two!
Guys nuts. I would not have sold that huge box of boxes for less than a grand.
yeah we did well on it for sure
I'm from El Paso and recently I came across a guy on OfferUp that was selling a huge video game lot . I think he had 12 Nintendo entertainment systems with the cables and controllers a couple Sega Genesis some old-school Ataris and a bunch of games too many to count. I asked him how much he wanted for the whole lot . He wanted like $4,000. To be honest I think he was asking a bit too much considering that a lot of the labels were pretty messed up. At least the ones that I saw in the pictures. But I'm sure he had some gems in there . It was a bit too much for me to invest so I decided to pass on the deal.
@@west-texas9806 Understandable 4k is a lot. But I mean even if u priced each of these boxes for 50 bucks this was a steal. Some might be worth a little less but many far more. That was a monster of a box.
Dude got robbed
now can have your own personal 64 collection more organized because you can put your loose games in their own box’s
Us older collectors always laugh when these younger guys say "I've been collecting for a long time"........ Hold my beer!
7:08 $400 for the entire box!?... is that a sealed turok lol? you lucky lucky guy haha.
rough handling that SegaCD case made me nervous... those things are so brittle now.
You hit the jackpot. As soon as the owner opened the storage room, I started drooling nonstop.
Glad I discovered this channel bc I was actually watching rgt85 talk about a switch pro and Zelda videos for 3 years 🤦♂️
CONGRATS ON 100K!!!! Cant wait to see u grow even more keep it up!
Retro.... you can't be deceiving people like that man. "at this point all of these are empty" knowing darn well that generally speaking the box is worth 2x more than the cartridge on average.
There are folks in these comments who have some funny ideas about reselling. If you're handling big ticket items, high end games, you don't have time to flip a Gameboy Advance game that's worth 5 bucks (Free shipping) on eBay that you got for 50 cents bulk priced. You gotta sell the big stuff, ship it, and do marketing. Most of those games are NOT worth even $1 wholesale and I say that as someone who has been into flipping their whole life, and recently invested like 10k into a closed shop. It can sit in a brick and mortar store, sure, or even a flea market, but that in itself entails even more labor. Your time is also your money, and spending too much time on something that doesn't even sell for 10 bucks is just undervaluing your labor. To each their own though. Rick got a good score and is gonna have a ton of labor ahead of him, but those BOXES !!!
I agree, everyone who sells low priced items mind as well sell in bulk for example if you have 100 gameboy games worth roughly 50c to a dollar, you mind as well sell it all instead of spending hours a day pricing each item so if you spend 8 hours pricing them all only to eventually sell them 3 years down the road you already lost money the moment you spend 8 hours
Wowsers all those games imagine all those games where some kids dreams & some parents hardwork and possibly overtime. 😮
Cool to see a fellow Arkansan crushing it on UA-cam. I used to live in Conway!
I bought an abandoned storage unit similar to this right before COVID-19 hit. The building owner sold me the entire unit for less than $1k if I didn't dig thru first. He just wanted the stuff gone.
I sold 3 games in my retail store and paid for the entire unit.
Literally thousands of games, movies, music items and posters.
The guy who had the stuff stored defaulted on the unit 5 years before I bought it.
The building owner sold a few pieces and stored the rest.
I never thought I would get hooked watching your collection grow and the amazing videos and energy you put out. I love the nostalgia collectibles and your channel makes me feel like I go with you on an adventure every time. Being stuck abroad because of work and not being able to come home, sucks, but watching your videos, keeps my passion for gaming and collecting in this part of the world.
There had better be a "Previously on X-Men" style intro to the next video. Haha
Dude Congrats on 100,000 subs! It’s crazy how much the channel has grown but that’s awesome
UA-camrs on location: ‘yeah, I like to collect video games’
UA-camrs back in the game room: ‘omg, box and manuals of n64 in piles!!!’
The owner of the unit went from "I didn't touch anything I just reorganized to get the shelving" to "I scanned these games with my app" to "some have manuals some don't I haven't been through all of them"
Wonder what was cherry picked... ... ... 😶
You're thinking the right things...
Just because the owner of the unit got it at a great price doesn't mean you should offer less
This is one of your coolest videos ever. Also congrats on 100k my guy!
Congrats on 100k
You were so excited and probably nervous you knocked stuff on the ground twice lol. You played those guys for that box. Well done.
Congratulations On Finally Reaching 100K Subscribers!!!
This is the peak of video game collecting. Nice cliffhanger.
Well-executed cliffhanger here. The trick is to do it in a way that gets the viewer excited rather than angered, Believe me, it's a common thing to do this wrong. :-)
NOOOOOOOOOO ! 😆 I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY 😞
left us on a cliffhanger, also I noticed the 100k subs! congrats. I've been watching scince 10k!
Thankkkkk you! Floating runner was the very first game I ever had growing up on ps1. I could not remember the name of it but when you showed the disc design I knew that was it!!!! I been searching for years 😩😩😩 I’m so happy that I now know the name of it! Gotta get one for the collection
God this made me feel very nostalgic I'm 45 now I wann be 16 again .UK was better back then least for me lol
Can’t wait to see the next!!!! This looks like a realllllly good deal! We’ll find out soon! 😊
for sure...thanks for watching Amy!
You can’t leave us hanging like that! I need the two day video uploaded in full. Lol
You guys are making a huge score!
haha good stuff to come!!!
@@retrorick Where is PART 2 of this Video?
@@findlay81 here’s the playlist! ua-cam.com/play/PLB1x1TmcCludQxvP64VSWlttBrYYggXSv.html
This must have felt like all of your Christmases at once.
I swear you are the luckiest game hunter out here! What an unbelievable haul
U ain't lying and ppl like me is paying almost full price or full price for almost every item I buy. Some ppl just have all the luck.
Scrolled back and never found part2? Did this deal fall through?
ua-cam.com/video/DZWfaUEkWRM/v-deo.htmlsi=URX3NmnGmNajL2Dp
That ending tho! 👍🏼👍🏼
9:32
“From 400 to like 200, 250 even 300, if it’s in good shape.”
Lol
Dude $400 for that box dude that was a super low ball. Really though. You offering 300 was a kick I'm the nuts. You know the value. I am not saying pay full price but that was LOW.
You wouldn’t be complaining if you got this deal lol
That be so kewl if you found rocket robot on wheels for n64! Good fun game! Hard to find here in Michigan!
That ending.. the 2021 Rick Roll >< Dude this is amazing! Love it when scores like this come up!
Also.. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers! I’m so happy for you Rick, it’s still only the beginning!
Congratulations on 100k Rick! Glad to be here watching your stuff. Keep it up!
What a great tease at the end!!! Damm you!!!!! Hahaha
Hey Retro Rick, just wanted to congratulate you for your milestone of 100k subs! (You deserve so many more)
Just seems like yesterday he had like 1,000 subs.
400 is a great deal for something you'll probably never get another chance at....you really did just part two this?!?!?
That subtle "oh my gooooooood!!" from Troll 2 thrown in there. 🤙
I think when people buy these lots they underestimate the time it takes to list and ship it.
EXACTLY
Box art can be awesome
The thing is that you’re right, the majority of kids just threw it away, or tossed it in a closet where it got beat up
Great find, and can’t wait for the 100,000 special!
Congrats rick on 100k subs that's a lot for sure
I’m freaking out for you. What a once in a life time opportunity. I’m totally jealous
Why didn't game exchange ship the inventory to other stores? They have several stores and they lose the inventory to a storage locker? Maybe their business is in trouble?
The Searcy game exchange was somehow not directly affiliated with the other stores (a franchise maybe?). When the stores in my part of NE AR and West TN would have sales, Searcy would not have the same offers. Go an hour SW to Little Rock or Hot Springs, same sale offers.
Also it was evident in their prices on the whole being higher.
This is my dream. I recently found my old PS2 in the attic and I would’ve loved to find all those GAMES
Edit: Also thanks for another great video!
Seeing the PSP UMDs made me smile, remember having a few as a kid and playing with demos over and over cause I couldn’t afford them 😂, love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹, great video
Ill be honest retro this video has to be the lowest of lows and i love your youtube channel. I am not hating or nothing i havent even read other comments but you just low ball this guy nes empty boxes alone that box about 1000... Everything else in there worth 10k to 20k easy. I aint even gonna watch part two because thats crazy.. You work make youtube money your collection is crazy and u just low ball even telling the guy that the sega genius emptys are trash knowing they are worth something meanwhile u probably found the games... Smh this is low balling at it finest.. And i sell games and try my best to do videos.
The amount of hate in the comments is wild , the way y’all hate resells you must grow your own food and knit your own clothing
Yeah I don't get it... the guy selling seems to know what he has and if the price isn't right he can speak for himself. But to say Rick is ripping the guy off is just not cool. Besides we don't even know what he has paid yet, the real isn't done. Congrats on the find Rick and to the other guys with you. And I am supper stoked about the 100k... God Bless Rick....
You think that amount of hate is ridiculous just hop over to Pat The Nes's Channel with CheapFindGoldMines haul being discussed 😂.
@@BreakingJP83 wow I watch both their channels and haven’t seen that yet , gonna watch now lol
@@joeymartinez7508 just do it on a light stomach it is pretty disgusting how hate they got and facts were completely skewed.
@@joeymartinez7508 I pretty much unsubbed from Pat. I do not have an issue with not liking the numbers but I do when it skewed the way it was.
You had me lol’ing at the Troll II sound bite! 😆 To be continued!? The suspense is killing me!
Locking your Channel Rick so much good times brings me back to my younger days
It's mixture of really stressful and very exciting to even watch this. How cool.
Have you ever watched Sic cooper on UA-cam? If not you should give it a try! He has a sick collection! And he had a store as well! Great channel!
Retro Rick coming through with an epic score! Thanks for making Mondays better bud!
@@bossmaiden5979 he will be keeping the boxes though!
Can’t wait for the next video just an insane amount of games happy for the 100K been here a long time with you and all of the other retro guys on here
Cool storage unit, loved to watch the video xD
TBD that’s such a 90s thing to do to me Retro Rick 😂
100k let’s go! Congratulations.
FANNNNTASSTIC Cliff hanger rick! lol looking forward to part 2. keep up the great work sir
Absolutely awesome this is great. The fact that the amount of boxes to complete things out means you just got your money back. My god I can't believe something like this happened. Can't wait for part 2
Wow what a find people only dream about this. I really don’t know how you remained calm with all the empty N64 boxes I would have been stuttering 😂
Thank you for sharing
Congrats on 100k, dude! 🤘
That was one HELL of a cliff hanger there.🤬lol Where is part 2?
Happy 100k subscribers!!! 🍾🎈🎉 🥳🎂
Moment when storage unit opens: Poker face at Maximum.
To be continued!!! Ahhhh😂 I can’t wait!!! This is awesome Rick! Congratulations🙌🏻😎
Kinda getting the vibe Rick was feeling like his friend was completely out of line with him tryn get over hug on ok boy ...idk..again just a vibe I'm getting 😂
Congrats on 100k Rick❗️
Well deserved
An awesome collection you’ve found there
Can’t wait to see how the negotiation turned out
What a collectors /resellers dream find.
I day dream about coming up on something like this as a reseller.
Great video..
I love how you all went in and its gonna be awesome to put up on display
Congrats on 100k subs RICK! You're doing awesome.
Nooooooooooo don’t end like that🤣 what an episode I’m so jealous amazing work dude
So confused? If they guy has thousands of dollars worth of stuff why did he just not sell one game to pay his storage bill?
100K Subs not too shabby! Party On, Dude!
Now imagine how many storage arounds the US and Canada got those kinds of game inside 😲
My guess is...not many.
@@smilingpsycho i mean if there's like 30-40 storages units like that, its alots of game sleepings for no reason..
Oh man pulled out the Sylvester Stallone at the end, can’t wait for the 2nd video to see how much y’all got it for
The graphics are very nice for this episode. I don't understand why the game store didn't move the games to another game exchange(s).
i once worked at a store that was part of a chain. when the company started failing and closing stores, the unsold inventory from closed stores was sent to others. mostly it was old junk that had been around for decades.
this happened to my store 3 or 4 times, until we closed as well. we were one of the last remaining, and our unsold stock was sent to the head office branch, which also closed eventually. i dont know what happened to their stock.
Looks like you hit the jackpot. The gold at the end of the rainbow!
Awesome stuff, please let me know if your selling any of the boxes. Your killing me with the cliffhanger, lol 😂
I hate subscription boxes but not gonna lie, I'm gonna check that one out for my daughter she loves Japan.
