Re-selling has become so popular I can't even go to the local game stores without seeing some tweakin nerd flying through the games lookin for anything valuable. I used to be able to find gems at this store for good prices.
Go earlier more often or both or stop complaining
My local store says they get copies of Fire Red and Leaf Green often but they’re always sold the same day
In SA it's just as bad. Prices 10x higher tho
@@smalltowncollectibles1959I don’t think it’s complaining it’s just sad to think the days for collectors finding cool deals out and about and not looking to resell have come to a end. Maybe not an end but not like it used to be.
Loonie, NOTHING is like it used to be
A major pro for you guys is actually having that many sales to go to in your area..
Mine along with many others are lucky to get 5 or 6 sales on a Saturday
You guys are lucky! In my area in Canada I'm lucky to get 1-2 garage sale days PER YEAR!
My biggest pet peeves about garage sales is when people dont take down their signs for a sale they had previously.
this .. i HATE this.. and not taking down fb yard sale listings
CON: gettin up at the butt-crack of dawn 😴
I had a older guy today walking out with resident evil nemsis on the ps1 and a couple others games I saw him ebay the stuff so I asked hey are you gonna resell everything im a collector and will pay up he said well I saw one game go for $40 I said well would you take $80 for two games he said no im gonna resell them imagine not getting cash just to take on fees ebay is ruining ppl common sense
Great video Chase. I really am loving your content! One thing - wear your seatbelt man! I know too many people who have died senselessly in car accidents because they weren't wearing their seatbelt. You got three kids brother! Be safe and keep making cool content!
Not really a pro's and con's, but a tip I would give is to go to sales not advertised on Facebook. It's good to have a plan and you can get lucky at those, but most of the time a lot of others already have that marked down to hit it as well. My best finds are always free styling and hitting the places kinda off the trail. I always tend to find stuff at mobile parks for some reason. Yard sale con/complaint; signs that are left up after a sale is done leading people astray! Side note - Michael finds so much great stuff! You should cruise with him one weekend in his neck of the woods! Would be a fun watch!
I agree with you on this. Never have had luck with Facebook ad sales.
Shhhhhh. The mobile home parks and low rent areas are my secret honey holes. Fact is the poor dont spend wisely and buy all the same toys. Plus they are way worse at valuing their stuff. Con: there is a chance that they have kept it in a lean-to or leaky shed for 5 years.
@@jorejaha pshh the poor.. i live in a mobile home park and have a room mate.. lol together we make almost 160k a year.. n rent is 650$ combined its called were smart...
To me the absolute worst part about garage sales is the start time situations. People post “no earlybirds”, but it doesn’t matter and people will show up crazy early to the sales and disregard it. So alot of the time there’s a moral dilemma/awkwardness to being the jerk that shows up super early against their wishes or you stick to it and show up when it starts or a little earlier. Unfortunately you almost kind of have to be THAT guy to get the good stuff. And then you have the times where they won’t let anyone look until exact time, and everyone already there has to run to the items and compete, and the home owners don’t know what to do and who gets priority. Sometimes you show up on time and they go “oh yeah we finished set up early and people have been coming through it for an hour!” It’s all super awkward and uncomfortable. That’s not even counting you having to just hope no one messaged them on Facebook beforehand and bought the games. It’s just crazy. I’m so happy I resell and collect more than just video games.
My thought process is that showing up early is fine if the sign is up on the end of the street since that's the last thing people do when setting up most of the time. Also most signs aren't even readable from the street so the average person would just turn onto the street anyways. I'd only ever show up like a half hour early though, anything earlier is egregious and knocking on the door before start time is an absolute no.
@@ObjoGaming I agree. Half an hour seems pretty fine especially if there’s signs like you said. But around me and other areas people pretty much camp out if games are advertised. Last year there was a local sale and they said they’d have a few Super Nintendo games and some magic cards and NO earlybirds, and I got there 15 mins early and there was 6 dudes camped out down there street waiting outside their cars to pounce on the games. It was literally 4 average SNES games.. and it turns out one for the guys that showed up messaged him the night before so he bought everything and we all just walked away. It was awful.
@@jfh.8064 I tend to avoid anything that specifically advertises games these days. It's one thing if they just say "video games" but if they're advertising Nintendo or anything they've already been hit with at least 30 Facebook messages, which either means that the stuff is sold or that they now know it's worth something and are changing prices. A lot of time people advertising games also price the stuff according to eBay. I've done a lot better just avoiding sales like that at this point.
The quickest way to make someone forget they put "no early birds" in their advertisement is to put cash in their sweaty little hand lol.
First if the sign is up especially without a time, it is fair game. Second if it is advertized as a late start too bad I'm coming if im in the area. Third, as soon as I see the lineup or it is apparent that they will not open early I drive around the immediate area to take what the waiters are ignoring. Time is money and now you are ahead of them all.
Actually went to my first ever « real score » of a garage sale this weekend. It rained Saturday, so they delayed the sale till Sunday, and I was in the neighborhood Sunday morning, by chance, because I had an appointment early in the area. We were there early-ish, not very early, 9:30, but I think they were just starting out. The guy immediately says « everything is 1$…everything ». He just wanted it gone. There was good stuff there. Video games (ds, 3ds, ps1,2, gamecube), consoles, and board games. But it was all rpg, fantasy, scifi stuff. The games were the kind you get at a hobby store (castle siege 2060 or something, not monopoly), and the video games were all rpgs and Zelda, no Madden 13s or anything. I didn’t bother checking eBay or anything, I just grabbed 20 boardgames and 20 video games, a ps 2, Xbox 360 and controllers, and put it in a box and gave him 50$. What a deal! A couple of the DS games didn’t have cartridges but the box and manual sell for 30$!
Insane dude! Congrats! To me that’s what it’s all about! The jackpot moments. No one’s trying to rip anyone off. We’re all excited and everyone is satisfied 👌
I had a conversation with a full time reseller/collector last week about this. Back then, finding stuff used to be fun especially when you were hunting with another collector. People were more passionate about the finds and there was plenty of good stuff to find. Nowadays, people are more about the value of a game instead of the nostalgic part of it. And there are now more resellers than collectors out there. I quit the hunt and the videos and now just enjoy my collection and watch folks like you who even though they resell full time, still have that emotional attachment to items in their collection 🙂🤙🏽 It took time for even myself to get the FOMO out of my system but it’s much more relaxing now that I stepped away from the fray. Keep pushing that awesome content, CATRP Crew!
Con - everybody that sells Pokémon thinks it's worth a fortune, just because it's vintage....your Eevee from Jungle that's in Damaged condition isn't worth $100. And there is no way to make them think otherwise because they've watched 2 PokeRev videos.
Chase and the boys are whatever you think, but we can all agree that in the end they are actually relatively wholesome with even rather dry attitudes. Some people are having a bad day or whatever and can be mean to chase and them and some are probably just stigma’d by the GoPro… midwest people are probably surprised by the camera, I know I would be at a garage sale if people I didn’t know with a camera showed up. Keep up the good work and push harder or else you’ll never beat the lions subscribers.
I always enjoy the Michael negotiations, I had a good laugh at his rounding up a dollar at the end.
chase you guys should always scan clothing racks for cool vintage shirts. you go to so many garage sales im sure theres been some crazy ones at sales youve been to in the past
Seriously. I get they are video game sellers primarily but I see so many idiots walk up look and ask for games then walk away while I'm making a pile of profit in everything that's not video games
Yard Sales weren’t created for resellers, no yard sale has nothing… just maybe nothing that you were looking for. My brother and I average $1000 every Saturday setting up in our driveway. Someone always needs something in their life, whether they are collecting or buying for personal use. Like your sprinkler for instance.
Garage sales and thrift stores were really great .....25 years ago :P
I let my uncle borrow my SNES and 10 games. He put it in the hall closet. Came back a month later and my grandmother sold it all for $20. I had heavy hitters for games like Metal Warriors Mega Man X3.
rip
I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have more subs.. comparing with phoenix resale for example
How do you find sales around your area and in further locations?
My biggest con lately has been that people have been wanting way too much for their stuff lately. I had a deal fall through because a guy essentially wanted retail for his dirty, untested games and he got really offended when I tried telling him his stuff isn't going to sell for that much. I get that times are tough but at the end of the day it's a garage sale, no one is getting up early in the morning to pay eBay prices.
To be fair, if these people sold the games for like 2 and they were 100 dollar games and they got ripped off, people would say "They shoud have done their research!" People having yard sales just can't get a win either way. They charge too much, people piss and moan about it, or they get wrecked and lose out on more potential money.
Resellers shouldn't be mad at prices when they're trying to resell and make money too
@@Nyquil614 If they get the price they're asking, it's not getting "ripped off". I bought over $3,000 in vintage toys at a moving sale last Summer for about 100 bucks. Did I rip them off? I don't think so. They were selling the home for half a million dollars+. They needed the stuff gone. It's peanuts in the big picture. They were happy to have the stuff out of their barn loft. I was super happy to add to my collection and turn a massive profit. I call that a win/win.
My local yard sales have printed ebay listings taped to their games lololol
Doesnt matter its their price. Resellers think they have some sort of priveledge and want everything for close to free
Can you 3D print a wall mount for the steam deck please
"what is that? Earth... bound..?" 🤣
Where i live in California the competition is insane. If you want untouched collections your best bet here is buying storage units and getting lucky. Great video boys🙏
the storage unit collections have to be crazy, too!
Chase acting like he's not going to buy the whole truck
I wouldn't say that yard sale prices have increased because of "youtube re-sellers" like some people will. I think it has more to do with just re-sellers in general as well as the internet. UA-cam re-sellers have increased the number of re-sellers and people that do yardsales have noticed. I mean, it's pretty obvious that someone is a reseller when they buy all of the same items. Because of that people tend to look stuff up more often than they would have. Craigslist is the same, it's very difficult now to find good deals on there like you used to.
The best comeup I ever had from a garage sale was hitting a garage sale that had already ended in a rich neighborhood. They put a bunch of stuff out at the curb for free and they had an alto saxophone in a case marked as free. It needed to be re-corked which was the only downside. Ended up selling it on Marketplace for $350. Absolute score.
im up here in winnipeg manitoba doing this exact same thing, When i saw the Earthbound i got tingles, When i was a kid back in the 90s my dad bought me 2 of everything toy and game wise, one to play with one to keep sealed, i ended up losing Earthbound, so my dad bought my another copy (third copy), when he got home that day i had already found the game, and when he went to return it the next day he had already lost the receipt, so i have 2 sealed copies of earthbound and an open copy in amazing condition. I lucked out hard. 30 years later and I still have all 3 copies. Holding for the long haul.
Epic my G!!! Pulls it out the truck like a champ 😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😂😂😂!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This morning yard sales
First 40 sales: 1 total game seen and bought
Last sale I went to on the way home: 30 ps1-3 games including a couple bangers
That's just the way it is, totally random and a crap shoot most of the time
Liar.
Honestly I found other categories that aren’t video games and have been doing very well.
Hopefully you still got that binder you got! Those tag teams have skyrocketed in prices and you’d definitely make a few more hundred now than 4 months ago
To be honest I think that making content on social media has kind of ruined the Hunt. It's no longer a hunt when everyone wants a deal or they want top dollar. I don't waste as much time. Everyone wants free tendies. I hate thrifting now because all people do is scan everything on their phone.
Bro I went to a garage sale couple weeks ago. Said it started at 8am on the post. So I showed up at 750 and they were already opened. Went in there. The things I was interested in was gone. The is a huge bummer for me.
Thank you for your work, I recently wanted to start trading, buying looking for older retro games to start a childhood game room.
I want a lot of items, so your videos have been very helpful.
Hold up! I'm from Michigan originally, grew up in Birch Run and your copy of Turtles In Time says Swain, which is my last name!!! Seriously I never had a SNES growing up, but I bought my younger brother one. Maybe it was his, don't know, but this is CRAZY!!! Probably long gone by now as I'm a bit behind on your videos, otherwise I'd want to get it from you. :(
For me most Video Games are just not worth buying. I have several working systems and a few really banged up ones. My Xbox One, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS are the only ones I play. Occasionally I will play my older systems. Except for SNES Tetris and Dr. Mario none of them have seen even semi-regular use. I would like to learn how to use Ebay. Unfortunately, many hours watching videos on how to do that was no match for my learning disability.
Hey! My dumb joke made it into the video and got a laugh! That made my night. 🤣
Great finds once again, crew!
You should rename this video to how to pressure people to sell items they don't want to sell .
You truly never know what house is going to have what. Could be just some clothes and luggage but then suddenly they say "yeah come look at this" and you're looking at their past passion that they just want an offer for. So cool to see what's out there
Just found this channel last week and I think I've watched 75% of your videos hahahah. Love the wholesome content
One of the biggest cons I’ve had lately at any sales is someone else getting involved in your deal, their like oh I can pay you $60 more than what they are offering you. Happened to me twice last weekend and made the deals just not profitable enough. People are just so nosy and once they see video games or consoles they want to try and horn in on your deal. It’s frustrating to say the least
Was it the same person?
I'm seeing this as well.
Why is it bad that someone is willing to pay more than your lowball offer trying to scam people on their ignorance?
You could call your viewers CATRPillars, because we all SUPPORT you. Corny I know.
you just dont see this kind of thing in the UK, earthbound SNES PAL is well under £50, always great to see people hunting in the states for rare games...
I only ever really see ps3/ps4 games when I go to garage sales. Figure it's best to expect that and bulk up on those two generations now while they're cheap. Who knows how much they'll go up in price in the next decade or so.
"We develop these cool displays for your controllers and cards...." you develop unfinished wooden boards with screws? I mean what about what you showed made you think it was good advertisement for what you actually develop?
I had a whole bunch of old video game stuff my oldest thing I had was a Nintendo GameCube no games with it, a Xbox 360 with red ring, ps3 with some sports games nothing crazy I really wanted a ps4 so someone traded Me a ps4 1tb for all my old games so I was cool with it 😅
In my area, dealers and resellers are outright obnoxious, and will step on your toes with a quickness, even cutting into a deal being made. They also show up at 745, when the sale starts at 9 beating on doors. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Just watching these videos looks like you’re in American. I live in LA and an over it. I wonder what state youguys are located in.
When they know that scumbag ebay flippers are going to buy there items.. You kind of can't blame them.
I mean he never hides it, if anyone asks he says it. I think some people underestimate how much of a pain it can be to sell stuff too. Sure some stuff are super easy sales, some are nightmares. I had my old phone I was trying to sell, I put it up for what I thought was a reasonable priced based on comps on it's spec, guy buys it, asks a few questions after the fact then says I am a scammer and the exact model does not exist which is after me showing it that it does in fact exist. Got negative feedback and he refunded(luckily before I sent it), I could not get ebay to remove said feedback either which since ebay changed their feedback system although I have like 150+ feedback I was down to like a 70% because I had not sold much recently. I gave up on bothering to sell it as I was only asking to get like 80 shipped before fees and then my rating tanked so people would likely avoid me. Have had a guy say the item never showed up although I had tracking saying it did in fact get delivered. I guess I am lucky that the bit of stuff I have sold through ebay has been stuff where people don't generally complain about.
then he insults the dudes cards that the owner obviously like "it's not a reputable company" don't crap on the old man like that
found a yard sale that had 4 gamecube games, ratatouille, luigi's mansion, mario sunshine and sponge bob. the sponge bob disc ended up being cracked ad the ratatouille was missing but while being at the sale a guy before me asked how much, he said he wanted 5$ for all 4 and the guy skipped the deal cause of the missing disc xD i grabbed them i don't care for a 5$ disc when you got a 60$ games next to it
I feel like my biggest problem first is that I do not know how to find garage sales around me and I do not know how to find any near me
I hateeeeee when people do that shit at a GARAGE SALE. Promote as a garage sale but try and sale pokemon cards at comp prices. If you do that i’m leaving i can just go to an actual store 😂 garage sale need garage sale prices
I hope you change the name. It’s not friendly usage for newbie’s. The purchase website please change. I still can’t remember to purchase
Y'all looking in newer parts of America. The Midwest and east coast is where all the massive collections are. Yall reselling a bunch of nothing for small profit. One day trade I make more than ten resellers put together
Pro in my area is there is a lot of small towns that people sleep on within 30 mins of me. Cons is that my home town is full of resellers that are very pushy and rude especially at estate sales. I've been buying and reselling stuff from garage sales since I was 13 so for the past 20 years and it seems that in the past 3 or 4 years there has been a big boom in resellers in my hometown. Definitely not as easy finding video game stuff as it once was.
Mostly blammed on UA-camrs for educating the masses it's worse in my country as that's where everyone gets knowledge so we've not been able to get much since the early 90s so many resellers just everyone is doing it here I'm glad the tax department is going to start cracking down on some of them who don't delcare the income
@@Blazemanau yeah I see where your coming from and I'm not mad at UA-camrs for teaching people how it's done it's just a lot harder to find good stuff these days. Don't get me wrong tho I still find cool stuff and my video game collection has gotten decent because of yard sales. Today trying to collect what I have came up with over the years would be way to expensive. Thank God for garage sales and estate sales
Man, i exclusively avoid any yard sales listing games. Too many people looking for games. I only buy games that i want.
Glad i sell other stuff, i more often leave every yard sale i go to with something
Round up a dollar for the Michael Cash charity foundation. Ÿou know taco bell just hit them with the same spill for their change.
Wanna know what sucks though?
When your mom is doing a garage sale and then sells your video games while you're out at college, then you come back and most of your room is gone/sold.
That mom did the right thing in at least asking her son.
Can you do a video on resetting x boxes or how to clean games those who live in an apartment?
How do you even make money buying at 1/2 the price you sell on eBay? eBay fees and state/federal taxes don't apply or what?
I love watching American garage sales videos, in Australia there is almost never any kind of games at sales and everything is retail anyway.
You know I always see UA-camrs stealing pretty much rare stuff from ppl that don’t know what they have but you I have yet to see you do that this is why you’re the only channel I follow bc you don’t do that scummy shit
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You guys need to be: "You got a Wii?" I bet you have a Wii in the basement. Just go check real quick :)
Are Xbox and Xbox 360 not worth buying? I’m new to this so I am still ,earning.
When you are educating so many it’s great for the public but horrendous for you. Esp in your area. When people see your personal success they immediately try to emulate it.
When you said "game barn" I thought you were saying "gay bar" until I turned on CC. Sorry.
Title of the video should’ve been biggest pros and cons of yards sales considering the amount of times those words were spoken in the video
Yeah now everyone know that re-selling is better that the garage sell don’t wanna sell nothing cheap smh thanks UA-cam
Why do we barley see skyguy in the videos anymore? I know he is behind the camera, but still :(
Worst part for me? Not too many that are close to where I live… although I might not be looking hard enough.
Love these videos !!! I know it was a year ago but gives people light that they can sell on Ebay or other sites !
Too many dorks wearing trendy clothes scavenging thrift stores for vintage shirts and games.
How do you clean games like Super Nintendo or any games that look dirty?
Super fair on what you paid. No wonder people come to you with deals 😁
5:51 Pro-Con at garage sales....proceeds to show a con, wait wut Sky? 😁
Great upload from the basement buddies 🎉
those “displays” lmao, its a piece of plywood with a bracket 😂😂😂
I just got into reselling and I can barely find any garage sales I only find like 3 a day it’s terrible
this weekend was my local community annual yard sale event 150+ sales - i went to ~80-100 of them only spent $40 =/
called it off. Wife than finds a furniture ad for free and we went to go pickup. That person was moving out of the country and SELLING everything. I asked if they had games? seller replied yes, but he is a collector and wouldn't sell. I offered $500 depending on whatcha got? He welcomed me in. Ended up buying a 6pc sectional, futon, pullout bed, couch + his entire 20yr collection for $1350 THAN my wife found another piece of furniture (she flips furniture/restores for a living) so we go to this storage unit locally. THIS dude ends up being a storage unit buyer and I ask u got games? He says YUP. pulls out a 3 big boxes I ask how much for all as is? He said $250? DEAL. some highlights and why I instantly said yes. I could see pokemon yellow, ps2 tenkaichi 3 cib, ps1/2/3/4 and 4 handhelds. easy 3-5x
tldr: went to 100 yard sales it was a bust. gave up. went to 2 sales for my wife and asked for games. Spent $1600. PROFIT?
The only issue I've come across consistently is ebay/retail pricing. I usually politely decline to purchase, rather than being "that guy" explaining fees and taxes on sold listings.
How do you locate garage sales, are there website you use to make lists in specific towns?
Do ppl buy video games that dont work
I hate when I go to a sale and they say I just sold it. Last week I made a video where I stopped at a yard sale at 5:30 PM and they had a Game Cube and 20 games and only want $2 each. Total value almost $800
My biggest con is that people think there Mario 3 are worth more then gold, that game altho great is a coaster at best
How are you pricing the sports cards? Ebay or guide?
the pokemon was a huge W he had new stuff older stuff graded stuff thats a garage sale i dream of going to
$10-$12 is not paying up for wii sport
you paid 160 $ for the last wii ? wow thats a lot more than i would buy those
We don't really have garage sales in the UK but I wish we did
This isnt LIVE. this happened two days ago!
Just when I was thinking about jumping to another one of your videos, here comes a box with SNES Cartridges.... I couldn't care less about the sticker on the game, as long as it works fine... That's all that matters to me... While I would love to have CIB copies of the games, I'm planning on playing the games that I purchase....
If I am looking for video games I have no compentision in my erea
how would you source if you were in europe, here we dont really have yard sales at all
One pro i sometimes get deals on scraps later in the day.
Ill sometimes be there late (around 12 to 2) and many times they just want it gone. Ive not found anything high end but have found many $15 to $20 games for $2-$5.
I already posted a comment about pros/cons of the hunt. I do have one question for you guys that may have already been addressed in a video. Do you feel that since there has been a huge influx of garage sale videos on UA-cam, etc. that it is hurting the reselling game? YT videos serve the purpose of educating the reseller or future reseller but could also make the folks who you source for, more wise to the game. What are your thoughts? Would love to hear feedback on this from the community too 🙂 P.S. my question is the same reason why I stopped making videos and keep my finds offline now.
This channel deserves so much more views. Guys on here are super helpful and really seem to enjoy and like what they do. Keep up the great content guys!
The need for speed. I have 20-30 sales on my route on some mornings, and I simply DO NOT have time to do google scan or look up comps. I do my research over the long Winter or on rainy days when I'm bored at work. One rule is "if its cheap, I can't really get hurt". Grab and go. That way while the next reseller is wasting precious seconds staring at their phone, I'm swooping and scooping. I might miss a few things? Probably. But I know I'm grabbing much. Got a 3DS XL last weekend for $2!
Basement After The Right Price!
Around me there’s never awning good. But I just found some Xbox 360s for 5 bucks a piece
