Insanely jealous that you found this lot! What a huge score brother! 👏 PS I would absolutely watch a video of you replacing batteries. I watch everything you put up.
Holy smokes, what a find! Just that first grab of games paid for the lot 20 times over. Absolutely insane number of quality games and all in decent to great shape.
The Super Mario/Duck Hunt WITHOUT the Seal of Quality on the label has actual microchips on the PCB. The one WITH the seal on it has 4 black blobs on the PCB. The reason for the change is due to cost reduction and an increase in production speed.
My brother picked up a huge lot of boxed Super Nintendo games and a boxed mint console with other stuff for £160 and he sold it all on eBay and made over £1000 from it as he had some rare games all in great condition! He got so lucky like you did,
I've been looking forward to a new video from you. Absolutely awesome score here. These videos are always entertaining for me, I agree with doing the battery replacement video for sure.
I'd like to see you remove all the marker and overlay stickers without damaging the carts. I struggle with this. I'm scared to do it and risk ruining my cartridges.
If I had came across this for $10 at a yard sale, I think I would have literally loaded that box in the car so fast and sped off like I just commited a robbery or before the grandkid starts running out or something 🤣🤣🤣
No hatorade or shade but you robbed that person dry for $10 lol and im still questioning whether or not you really got it for that price. I need some of that luck.
@ RetroRepairs, I've been professionally restoring and protecting games for over 15 years. I'd like to give you some friendly advice on the batteries & advocate against it for preservation. There's few reasons why you absolutely SHOULD replace them. The first is obvious, if any of the batteries is showing signs of leakage, replace for sure to avoid corrosion of board or chips. Also, unless they pose a significant power loss after checking their voltage with a multimeter, or by losing saves after hard power flashing a game (make a save, and rapidly power on/off 10-15 times to see if it will hold.) there is no reason why a battery should be replaced and will lose value within any respectable collector. Keep them in as long as they hold a charge. I've had LOZ 5 screw batteries still holding up in 2020 with no problems. Most don't need to be replaced.
Keep the videos coming I love these. Yes battery replacement and maybe switch it up like use wick on one and a manual pump on another so others can see the advantages of each type?
I wish I had your luck! Any good listing I find here literally within 1-3 mins of listing its claimed. Pretty much people just sit on Facebook marketplace and continuously refresh the page so it’s almost impossible to get a good find
Dude you need to put "I buy games" ads up. Make people find you. You're wasting your time looking around Facebook or Craigslist. Deals like in the video are basically winning a small lottery.
For anyone that wants to repair the blinking light 72 pin connector problem... You need to bend the TOP row of pins down with a needle just very slightly. You'll need some bright lighting to see them and take your time. Then run a toothbrush through it with alcohol. Do not waste your time with any other methods. I've repaired hundreds with a 95 percent success rate.
I'm part of a group that works on preservation and development of multiplayer and MMO games. I'm also a licensed amateur radio operator. It's depressing what people outside of both hobbies will throw away, not realizing the value of the items.
With this pandemic it’s a timely find with all gaming conventions shut down not everyone has the opportunity to sell or trade what they have and not to many people feel comfortable with giving stuff to charity with rules on quarantine stuff has to be left before it can be sold just having stuff lying around won’t make money so finding all this for a great price is good yes this pandemic is bad but it dose have it’s rewards getting a great score like this
Yeees! I think you sould do all the battery replacements (I'd absolutely watch it!). I think it would be really interesting, giving there are more chances to find different problems or issues on all the cartridges. By the way, great content. You even got me started with the "repair retro stuff" :) keep up the good work Adam! Gonzalo
The last good deal I got on ebay was about 5 years ago. I ran across a listing for 5 N64 games at a $65.00 buy it now. One of the games was Super Bowling(game only). I jumped right on that one. You can't find one of those on ebay now selling for less than $350. BTW, Adam, if you want to get the marker off of the carts, use a dry erase marker of any color over it then just wipe it off. Works 1st time most of the time but sometimes it takes 2 applications. My tip of the week to your many subscribers.
here in the u.s. that bundle would be posted for $175 and it would just sit there cause they wouldn't take a lower price. in virginia it would be listed for 200+
@@game_master_rukia Nah. $175 is still a great deal. Of course you want to buy it at the cheapest price, but come on; this isn't the early 2000's anymore. Finding deals like in the video are very rare.
Holy crap - what a steal! Good on you. I would definitely like to see a video on replacing the batteries in those cartridges; I am curious about how well kept they have been through the past 30+ years. Looks like they are in great condition externally, but the innards tell the true story. Also, SKOL! (from a sad Falcons fan)
Not sure about you, but I love the video store stickers and labels. Make me wonder on how many weekends was spent trying to beat that rental game before it is due back.
Crushed it! So jealous and also a bit curious about what did end up in the trash. I'll pretty much watch any video you put out, so I say make one for the battery replacement.
Heads up, when you show the Facebook post the section you use to blur the location and names seems to fade before the post itself, giving a few frames of information visible. Not sure if you're worried about this or not. Great find though!
I very much agree with @ILikeWaffles to see a replacement of the batteries, mostly because you might find something else going on! Or even broken inside and be able to show us how to repair that! Also by watching your videos Adam, I figured out how to repair my guitar pedal so it could actually take a battery!!! So every video you put out it extremely helpful keep making them, also Merry Christmas man!
I'd watch a video on battery replacement. I own a few games I know rely on a battery save, but have no idea how to repair that. It would be nice to learn how.
Those consoles might work if you just insert the cartridge without pushing it down; that's how mine was before I replaced the connector with a Blinking Light Win.
Do the battery replacements and try to put a CR2450 holder in one of the cartridges (if you want to and that can be done) so I can see the best way to do that
I wish getting that lucky in my area were possible! Plus I'm so sad I CAN NOT find my original Final Fantasy ANYWHERE! It should be somewhere in my house but sadly still nowhere to be found! D'X
I just want to point out that the NES with stickers has the annoying waves on screen, a problem that plague many NES (1 in 3 is my estimation) and was wondering if you could do a repair video that fixes that problem. From what I understand, you have the change the big capacitor.
Depends. You can buy 3rd party replacement connectors for about 20-30, and the actual skill needed to swap it isn't much. The absolute best option is the "Blinking Light Win". It removes the "push down" part of using a game, and is far more reliable.
One more comment: The SM/DH games labels are different because one of those variations came with the bundled console and the other was a stand alone retail version.
@@Warrax22 That's fine, but once you've seen 1 game battery replacement; you've seen them all. I don't think seeing someone do it that many times will be interesting.
Yes to the battery replacement video!
According to Price Chart, for your 31 games and 2 consoles, you have a value of 708$. So not a bad find at all lol.
Ugh, wish I could get that lucky sometimes.
Yup even duck hunt costs 10 bucks now so everything after is clear profit
Same

You should do a room tour .... I would love to see that ... Your collection, your work station ... And of course Kona :)
There was already a tour video some time ago
Congrats on that pick up! Finds like those are few and far between these day, especially with lots that have great games like that.
I would love to watch it. I love watching you open games and consoles. That's why I'm here.
WOW! That's a great haul you got there. I would be interested in seeing a video on replacing NES battery's and where to buy them.
The Super Mario/Duck Hunt WITHOUT the Seal of Quality on the label has actual microchips on the PCB. The one WITH the seal on it has 4 black blobs on the PCB. The reason for the change is due to cost reduction and an increase in production speed.

@SysPowerTools when buying any retro games and consoles, the idea is to get the lowest price possible. 175 would be the going rate or starting price
