Besides game hunting per usual, this week was huge in terms of reselling and building the Game Collection Fund. We absolutely killed it on Ebay this week making hundreds selling the doubles we didn't need in the game collection that we picked up at thrift and second had stores. I also giving you a glimpse of what it looks like to be a buyer/reseller online. Thanks for coming along on my live video game hunting adventures and for watching episode 32 of the $10 Dollar Game Collection Challenge!

Love the $10 games challenge. About 5 years ago I started watching SeeJayAre's channel and I started hitting yard sales. Since then I haven't taken a dime out of the family account for anything game related and my collection has exploded. Its so satisfying to find a deal, build your collection and also have a way to bring in some extra money.
Nice sales on eBay. An uncommon PS2 game that is around $30 loose and $36 complete is Test Drive Eve of Destruction. Looking forward to the next hunt!
Oh God, I got chills when I saw that "We sing in Sillyville" dvd. My sister had that on vhs and would marathon that crap out of it. It was torture
My favorite Mario character is probably Wario. But if he doesn't count it would probably be Lemmy Koopa.
Favorite character is Bowser. Bowser's Inside Story sold me on him, love the guy. Great design.
Favorite character is Bowser. The bad guy needs fans too.
so if you know follow the stories bowser is the good guy.
Mario is the bad guy lol.
$10 game collection sounds sweet. My problem is I won’t have systems to check if the games work. Pretty risky for reselling!
My favorite character is Luigi. I feel like he never gets the love!
no he does not! great pick
I gotta tell you Rick, your videos are rock solid! Last week we lost power due to the ice storms in Oklahoma. Me and my boy spent the last 9% battery life on my phone watching your video. Well worth it! Keep up the sweet content.
Thanks for sharing Retro Rick! Dude...Let It Ride and Men at Work are both fantastic movies! I actually bought both of them initially to sell them but after watching both movies, I just had to keep them in my personal collection. I love what you said and demonstrated with your SNES btw. I clean everything I sell from top to bottom so if you ever happen across my listings (I am tigmo on eBay) you'll get a nice, clean item! ;) Keep up the great work man!
My boy Rick, thank god for him!! Election day, stressful, miserable etc.....(checks youtube) and Rick has posted again! Thank god. Go to his Patreon too! Got nothing but respect for this guy's time and effort in this stuff! Reinvigorated my love for my childhood gaming and beyond, that's for sure!
Can’t sleep now! Thanks Rick 🔥
hahaha, thanks for tuning in Miguel!
A recommendation is not to spray the product directly on the electronics being cleaned, but rather on to a secondary cloth or tooth brush and then wipe away. This way it doesn't get into or stain the electronics boards and ports.
I recommend cleaning controller/audio/video ports with a clean brush and IPA.
thanks for the advice!
Thank you for yet another fantastic video. You have no idea how much I appreciate your work. My guy is, has been, and always will be Toad. That hat does it for me!
My favorite character is Toad. I loved the spin off of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. One of my favorite Wii games. Informative episode. Gotta do maintenance sometime.
Yes, that SNES was VERY clean! And as for favorite character...although he only shows up once, I love the Mouser boss on Super Mario Bros 2!
ha great pick Rick!
I luv the flood and cappy. Just luv any thing that adds to marios ability to play in a different way.
I love your videos rick, i have been really really trying to get into thrifting because of your videos and i recently got my first car and did my first few actual runs to goodwill for games and stuff and i was able to get a Ps1 that was complete (no box just console/cords/controllers) for 25$ and i got a bunch of games as well :) Thank you so much for all the amazing videos with awesome advice. Keep up the amazing work dude!
great pick ups my friend!
My favorite Mario characters.....Toad and Koopa Troopa on MarioKart. Got to have the clean out days, that's all winter for me. Get some Ebay funds and get ready for spring garage sales.
Nice interaction on the primer. I can’t always watch when the upload is new but nice to see it .
that was a ton of fun!!!
My favorite has always been Yoshi. I don't know why but I love that little guy lol.
Dude, you're way more considerate with cleaning consoles than most sellers on eBay. I got a Dreamcast that had cobwebs under the disc cover and what seemed like coffee splatter on the outside of the shell. Good thing I was planning on swapping shells as soon as it was delivered, but still.
Hey, man! I love your videos! I’ve been watching them a ton! I recommended if you’re in the area to head to The GRID it’s a branch of goodwill, and I found some really great stuff there! Don’t stop making these videos!
I found a sealed Less Than Zero dvd the other day at Goodwill. Sold it for $16 on the eBayz
Watching your videos makes me realize how much money worth of my old games and systems I have from mult super Nintendo’s around the house games still in box. My game cube games and so on.
Mine's Yoshi too. He's my go to on Mario Kart and Kirby and Yoshi were my favorites on the original Smash Bros. It was broken how you could send someone off the map by eating them and making them an egg towards the edge of the map.
hes the best!
I really appreciate this video. I've been struggling to get motivated to get things listed recently due to all the external craziness including school. Watching Rick's videos always helps me get pumped about getting out and thrifting, but I end up not having much money to work with due mostly to laziness. I'm gonna get a ton of stuff posted this week! Gotta get the collection fund up! Thanks Retro!
Qotd: Hard to pick a fav Mario character...but twist my arm and it would probably be Goombella from Thousand-Year Door. I always felt like she was one of the most unique characters in the Mario universe and her dialog always made me laugh back in the day!
i totally get it...i cant stand listing but it pays off...literally haha
I’m glad your goodwill has games!! If I could find Lego Pirates I’d be so happy! I’ve been going to my Goodwill all week and haven’t found any games at all! I’m gonna keep visiting though. I have found some good things there before. That’s where I found my Boxed NES!
Hi Rick, enjoy your channel and the $10 (now free) video game collection series. I’m surprised you clean the unit prior to testing. I test first so I don’t waste time cleaning if it does not work. You still got content so I guess it still would have been worth your time. Thanks again John
And I’m caught up with the series. I watched it all in like 3 days. I guess that means I’m enjoying it lmao
This is gonna be awesome! Love your videos, man, seriously!!
thank you for the kind words my friend!
Oooh, nice tip with the magic eraser--and we appreciate the mention of not putting too much pressure into it.
I’m a huge fan of these videos and I’ve definitely learned some stuff about reselling from you.
I live in the UK, I wish games sold for as much as they do in your videos! Would love to get into this but prices are nowhere near!
If i didn't already have a minty snes i'd buy that. That is in great shape now that you cleaned it. Love it!
Rick l just picked up ps3, psp, Xbox 1 controller, 3 remotes, Wii sports, large folder of Pokémon cards from 1999 to 2014 and a brand new Logitech hd pro web cam sealed in box. All this at one goodwill yesterday and half of this is sold already. I got all this right when it was being put out. Love selling remotes too and the wife was excited when l showed her everything l picked up because she was on the other side of goodwill. Keep that $10 game collection going rick and l sell off some stuff too to keep my collection going
Yoshi would have to be my fav for Mario characters. Always liked him. Really cool video seeing you go through the whole process.
Awesome content Rick. Thank you. I love seeing what you are buying.
Loved the live premiere man!
And Yoshi!!! My freaking guy!!!
Best part about Mondays! My favorite mario universe character is Bowser. Before Link was an available character in mario kart, I always went for Bowser!
I use isopropyl alcohol and micro fibre towels to clean. The tooth brush is good but I wouldn't use the magic eraser over everything. It's a very fine sandpaper that will make micro scratches. Only use it on marks/stains you cant get off with less abrasive methods.
Don’t toss the dance case. Empty sleeve and save it , you can print a game you don’t have and complete it. ). Love the channel
RIP to the clock tower lady from Back To The Future...
22:10 My favorite is character in the Marioverse, its a toss up between Rosalina and Luigi
Rosalina is my favorite charter now. But growing up my favorite character was between Wario and Princess Peach.
Yes appreciate when I get stuff nice and clean from people. Only takes a couple minutes.
Great video as always Rick, I recommend using Orange Pledge to clean game consoles with. It's cheaper then the armor-all and gives it a very nice shine too the console, it also is electronic safe meaning it won't fry the console if it gets inside of it.
Awesome video! This is the most addicting thing to follow.
I collect games as well, but I live in Denmark... so doing what you do here, is almost
impossible. That being said, it’s still super inspiring!
I live in Brazil, so I know exactly how you feel.
Another great vid, thank you so much for your channel. My favorite Character from Mario games is Luigi. I have been a fan of his for as long as I can remember. Even with Super Mario bros I would always want to be player two. Luigi’s mansion flipped my world, It was like he finally has his own game.
thank you for watching jay! Luigi is the man!
Great episode bro. Luigi is my favorite character in the Mario Universe. My wife would choose Yoshi like you. The $10 game collection has become massive over the past year. Keep up the great work my friend.
Princess Rosalina with Yoshi being 2nd.
great picks!
Rick - more great content! I know it might be a boring video for some, but for others, probably interesting and of value ... but have you considered a video on how you package and ship common items such as games, controllers, handhelds? I know I'd appreciate it!
Favourite character would be waluigi! Love the sass from him and Wario!
Ur one of my favorite youtubers. One of the realist guys I know
Awesome sales for sure. That snes looked like new so minty after a quick cleaning
My favorite Mario character is Toad, i don’t know why, he’s just hilarious and I like to do toad impressions sometimes 😂. Great video!
i love toad too! Used to use him alot on mario kart
Wario is my favorite character in the Mario Universe. I always love the evil negative version of characters. Reverse Flash, Nega Duck, Bizarro and Wario just to name a few.... OH and Match if you are familiar with 90s Superboy lore.
great picks Isaac!
11:25 Madden 11 on ps2 is a $11-$12 game, so there's some decent value there.
thanks for the heads up!
Great video this week, yes it was one of those “maintenance” videos that we needed but all good. Favorite Mario character is Yoshi for Mario Kart and Mario Golf.
we back in the money though so thats good!
great pick too!
Hey Rick, love the videos. Keep up the good work. 🔥
thank you for the kind words!!!
I’ve always loved the Tanooki Mario!😁👍
I was at my local goodwill and they had ncaa 11 for ps2 and I was so excited but then I opened it and it had madden 11 for ps2 in it and I was so disappointed still got it anyways just for the case. I also found a rockband 3 and I can't remember if you said it was a good find or not but I looked it up and it was so thank you. Keep up the awesome videos man!
Luigi has always been my #1. I even let my little brother play as Player 1 so I could be the green machine!
Man you're gonna have a 10$ collection bigger than my whole colection in no time! ahah xD I wish I could find so many good games for so cheap in my area! Great vídeo :)
Rick you inspired me to dig up my ole SNES. Been playing Metal Warriors non stop!
Another great video for the 10$ game collection series! Thanks, Rick. My favourite Mario character must be either Luigi or Waluigi. Can't really deside between these two)
This is great!! More awesome stuff!
I always raced as Toad in Mariokart and loved playing him on Super Mario 2 too, toadstool all the way!!
Bob-ombs and dry bones are my favorite Mario characters..well more like bad guys lol 😂
My favorite mario character is probally blue yoshi I remember playing super mario world 2 back in the day and I was 5 or 6 not sure and when I saw him I yelled "Blue Turtle"
I found good way to clean gunk off of systems on outside is t.s.p. works great. Gets all the grime off easily
i Remember that Mouse Move being a OK Movie ;D
My favorite Mario Character is defiantly ( Yoshi's ) :D
.
Favorite character from a Mario game has to be Piranha Plants. Very underrated, but dangerous.
Yoshi is my guy, except for the rare occasion that funky Kong is there
That premier was so much fun!
Growing up I always loved Yoshi. Now that I'm older I love Bowser. :D
L and R buttons weren't tested while playing Super Mario World. By holding L or R down for a couple seconds, you can force the camera to move in that direction so that Mario or Luigi is no longer in the center.
Great video, I love this series! Hmm for favourite Mario character I have to go with Toad. Ever since I was a kid Toad has been my favourite! 😊
toad is so underrated!
Great video! My favorite is Luigi because I am the younger brother and he kinda grew on me.
Gotta make that money back Rick! Great vid. Toads my boy man. Gottem tattooed on my right elbow. Cya next video
My favorite Mario character is Toad!
Dude... Yoshi's my guy as well! Daniel loves him too. He has a stuffed Yoshi that is his favorite item.
ha that is awesome! My 2 year old likes bowser lol
I'm a Luigi guy personally, but I also think Larry and Ludwig Von Koopaling are cool too
Good tips on the SNES system cleaning. Keep it up.
@RetroRick I think it would be cool to also see you take the 10 dollar came collection to have a grail item... maybe a sealed Zelda: Link to the Past or a really hard to get grail title! nurfing the size of the collection a bit, selling somethings to get some cash for a couple insane items could help make up for it and show gamers and collectors it's possible to get a title or anything you might dream of having!
just a thought! ~A Fan
Awesome video man!
I use to love yoshi as a kid because he was very drawable and was green lol(flawless child logic)
For mario kart though,toad is the man !
My favorite mario character is shy guy I like that Halloween mask. And the favorite colour is yellow.
Oh seeing you drop that wind waker made me shiver and almost puke lol love watching
I use Simple Green solution and a toothbrush - it gets all the human oils and grime off and it doesn't have a powerful smell. also I would advise AGAINST using magic erasers especially on stuff with textured surfaces as magic erasers are super fine grit sandpaper. Then I take a toothpick to get all the dead skin cells out of the controllers. One of the best things I learned from working at a game store.
My favorite Mario character has to be Toad. Being able to play as toad in Mario 2 was awesome. Oh and I can’t wait to get my games I bought from you Rick 😜
thanks for your purchase Jonathan!
Hey jonathan. What is retro ricks ebay so I can add as a fav seller? Congrats on the auctions too!!! ✌🏼😁👍🏻
@@Welspoke 10dollargamecollection
Bro! Great sales! When I saw that you sold Zoids, a single tear ran down my cheek (I still need it for my collection.lol) Anyways, gotta go with Toad as my favorite character in Mario.
you've inspired me to do a similar challenge on my channel where I start with £10 and trade my way to a PS5! Thank you for the amazing content! Keep up the great work!
desert storm was a great game i had the gamecube version back in the day
Toad! Always my go to character when applicable, ever since SMB2.
heck yes....toad is great in the original mario party games
Yoshi is my guy for ANY MarioKart game!
Dang that’s a nice snes wish I could buy it lol nice job and please keep doing this series!
Kamek's kinda funny, always being disregarded. Even though he's Bowser's adoptive father or something lol.
Luigi is my guy. Use to start a 2 player game and game over Mario so I could play the game solo as Luigi!
You can use a tooth pick to get into the grooves easier on consoles and controllers, helps get the gunk out
