I'm just gonna stand outside Gamestop and outbid their offer 😂🤣
Genius idea hahahah
For real for real. Forget whatnot, this is the new $100 challenge.
Same thing was said 20 years ago about games
GameStop: "Best we can offer you for your PSA Slabs is $5.50. If you have Pro Membership, $6.10". 👍
BRO BASICALLY 😂😂😂😂
Honestly the giratina offer was good I mean they have to make profit too but yeah honestly I think it’s always best to sell online or to an individual collector 👍🏽
Yeah to each their own for sure. But it's a service that's not too bad for people who don't have time
You somewhat mentioned this at the end of the video, but a lot of people won't wathc the whole thing, so:
Some of these cards, if you were to sell them on ebay, you might make 50% more, sure, however, you have to spend the time to find the buyer, ship it, deal with all of that, etc. Even though you feel the offer isn't fair, you're choosing to spend time you could spend on making money rather than spending the money/energy to find a buyer.
Exactly, thank you for watching till the end though lol so many people making comments and didn't even bother to hear my final thoughts on it 😅
Im glad you did this experiment for us I was dying to find out what it was like. Now im like forget it lol
Lol me and u both probably 😂
They offered you 80% trade on the Giratina, at least be genuine 80% is good.
I think I was pretty genuine the whole time and gave my overall thoughts in the end as well pretty clearly
Can you imagine the PSA 8s?😱💀 $5! All day!🤣
Lol robbery I bet
Mate, you're a trooper for even trying. As soon as I hear they haven't been trained I am high tailing it out with my slabs
It would have been cool to compare the prices of going into a card shop and trying to sell them vs GameStop
Big yikes on those trade in prices lol. This was such an interesting video to watch man, glad you were able to go in and see what they would give you but I am really happy that their system was down and you couldn't sell them any of them lol. Keep up the phenomenal work man.
Lol yeah the roaring moon was the biggest highway robbery out of the 4. Other ones semi okay ish if you calculate fees etc
can you trade in 3 PSA 9 slabs 1 of charizard, 1 of pikachu and 1 random pokemon that isnt really cared for or isnt in demand. and 3 PSA 10's with the same setting and go back and see what they are trying to sell it at, compared to what they offered you?
Why not check the prices before going to GS? Wasn’t that the point of the video? No shade just wondering, otherwise awesome video!
I thought I had a pretty good understanding of prices. The vaporeon I was way off and Tina I was also off. My knowledge be lacking lol
If you sell on eBay and/or tcgplayer, it's about 17-26% in fees as well. So it sounds like they were doing about 50-60% for store and cash of those cards. Makes sense more or less. Pretty much the same as other LCS and vendors would do too. But yes, sell on eBay instead haha
yeah its kidna just dependent on what is better for you, if you have time to sell on ebay or just get your cards trade in at your gamestop for some cash. But yeah, better to sell on your own lol
I think this will bring more people into the hobby
I definitly agree. More access nationwide to tcg overall
Some big cards they did offer u about 75 to 80 %
This is more like what we all expected. but leaks of the system was showing really good value.
that ZAPADOS is still my fave card from 151 xD
Lol it's a nice card bro but 20 bucks for it is rough haha
I sold 5 One Piece Alt psa 10s and they gave me 90% of last sold. Mine and their numbers were VERY close. Idk why nothers are struggling with this
What where they using to lookup the price?
Honestly don't know. He scanned it, and numbers popped up lol so i don't know what system they use to track the value or trade in value but it was a pretty quick process.
They use the PSA website itself to calculate card prices.
I bet if you tried to sell your graded Moonbreon, they'd have to sell you the whole store instead.🤣
Lol I think they Also told me they cap the amount or value of the trade in as well
The only card I think wasn't a terrible offer was the Giratina V honestly.. if it averages online $450 lets say and they offered you $324 cash that wasn't too bad. That's still a little over 70% so I will 1000% disagree that the Giratina V was a bad offer 🤔 but I do think it's going to come down to the CARD itself and MOST cards aren't going to be worth trading or selling for cash at GameStop at least. It's going to be those 10 or so cards on the market that are just spiking up and up that they'll maybe offer something worthwhile in the end.
yeah I mean, depending on how they track the market value of cards and offer trades or credit, it could be worthwile. I mean at 360 credit, it wasn't even too bad of an offer if you want to get some sealed product too. So its an option for sure.
The offers weren't tooo bad (roaring moon was pretty bad), watching a lot of vendor povs and they offer around 65-75% for cards, so I'd say those offers were around there or maybe even more
Yeah I mean I think in terms of people flipping cards and lcs flipping cards, they offer 65 70 percent comps which I understand. Which is why in the end I said I get it and it depends on what you as a collector are willing to do.
They should've offered you at least $30 cash and/or $40 credit for Roaring Moon ex imo.. I'm okay with half if it's cash or upwards of 70-80% in credit.
yeah I think the tina was actually close to value. the roaring moon was quite bad imo
Wow those offer are so low, you can only cover psa grading with mail 😮 definitely a no.. but truthfully i thought the giratina offer was good at first too..
Yeah the Tina offer wasn't too bad in all honesty but zapdos and roaring moon. It literally costs 20 bucks to grade per card lol
It’s a great idea, but when any lcs can offer 60-80% they probably won’t be as popular
no lcs in the country will give you 80%, good luck finding any at 60%. businesses don't lose money for your convenience my guy.
Bro I’m surprised they offered you that much on each card 😂😂😂
Lol roaring moon and zapdos cost 20 bucks to grade so it's basically like lose lose hahaha but Tina and vaporeon wasn't horrrrribbble
@@DKCards you right lol 😆
I think they may be just using price charting
I regret not buying a Giratina when it was around $230.😢
lol yeah i wish i bought a psa 10 for cheap back then XD
Its all about convenience and quick money. Good idea if you ask me
I will glad you 20% of the actual value
Im honestly surprised the trade value they offer isnt more
I thought it would be as well after seeing so many people's videos. But it's just not the case
@DKCards especially since they risk alot less in trade value unless they are losing money on product
why? why would you expect a business to make a risky move like that? it costs money to implement this system and operate. card prices fluctuate. there are plenty of reasons why their offers were reasonable. trade vs purchase won't change the value thaaaat much.
$168 would be fair lmao they can't pay full comps
Game stop has really done it this time 😂 just go ahead and put We Rip Off in front of the building 🏢
A lot of those offers were good, any retailer, even eBay is going to take a 25% or so cut. The real problem is PSA is a scam company. $25 per card? $15 per card for bulk? And then if they are worth more, they can somehow up the price to hundreds of dollars to get your card back even though it takes no extra work on their part to authenticate a rarer card? It is literally evil. I have cards I'd be willing to sell, but at those prices and those risks, I can't get them authenticated. I shouldn't have to make $30 on a card just to break even. Card grading should be $5 per card regardless of rarity tops. I wouldn't pay more than that.
They do know the grading fee is like $15/card right? lol.
Lol I have a feeling they don't care 😂
why does that matter? their offer is based on card value not what you paid to grade it. 🥴
@@samueld5418 because even if the card is worth $10 raw, it still takes $15 to get it graded …. So how you gonna offer such low prices??? You’d literally have to be a lazy crackhead to sell a slab at GameStop for like $10 when even if you pulled the card yourself you still paid $15 to grade it!!! You’re LOSING money selling to GameStop !!! Even if you pulled the card yourself??? Just doesn’t seem like a sustainable business model … 🤷♂️
Bro they’ll give you $8 for a $60 controller what did we expect 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I’ll offer $10 more than what they offered
I'll offer 11 😂
@@DKCards Drive a hard bargain, I’ll do $15
You just got DK’d
I definitely did haha
I'd say PSA is the real scam. $25 just to grade a single card? I shouldn't have to be selling the card for $30 just to break even. The main reason I've never looked into selling my rarer cards that i don't really care about (like it is a pokemon i don't care much for or i don't love the art), is because of the insane risk of just getting them rated. I would be willing to pay even $5 per card, but $25, even the $15 for bulk orders is too much. And then if my card is worth more, i have to pay them more or they won't send the card back? The card being higher value doesn't change the work it took to authenticate it. But they could charge me hundreds of dollars to hold hostage my card if they think it is valuable enough? I can't believe people actually give those con artists money.
Ya always check ur card prices man
yeah thank god system got messed up and I couldnt trade em in though XD
Sounds like game stops trade in offers hasnt changed much in the last 10-20, forever years.
lol yeap. I have been seeing all these videos saying they are offering market value. Doesn't seem to be the case lol
Even on this video most comments I'm seeing are saying these are fair prices. I'd say PSA and their insane "authentication" prices and holding higher value cards hostage for hundreds of dollars is the real problem. I would pay $5 per card tops, $25 or $15 for bulk per card under $200 is insane. And then it is somehow legal for them to charge you hundreds of dollars if the think the card is worth a thousand or more despite it taking the same amount of effort to grade as any other card. How is such an insane scam allowed? Why aren't card collectors fighting against it?
Honestly, I trade games with GameStop pretty often and I've always found the prices fair, especially if you do it during trade sales. For example, I got $56 for Mario wonder while a trade sale was going on, they are literally losing money on that one. Just last week I got $10 for injustice 2 (which I originally bought for $17) and $37 for the princess peach showtime game. Overall, I'd say GameStop is very fair, even generous sometimes, with their trade values.
@@dragonninja3655 do you work for gamestop?
Honest question: Would you have STILL traded them in if their system wasn't down or would you have said "Meh sorry not interested anymore" still informative either way 👍
Also, yikes those offers they gave were ridiculously low. I would've passed either way haha. This is a side thought and is no reflection on your experience or video but, most times when toys, cards, shoes etc. are traded into a shop if they give you decent value I see others complaining about it still which is mind blowing. I'm like "you do realize you are basically asking/forcing them to buy from you" Some people want the exact value as you'd get if you just randomly tried to sell it on eBay or FB Marketplace. Not sure if you've ever seen experiences like that online or in person, but it still baffles me that some will get upset when they only give 50-60% of the card, toys, shoes etc. value. YOU ARE LITERALLY ASKING THEM HEY BUY MY STUFF NOW and they have to make money too. Of course they aren't going to give you what you totally want. Some don't get that even when LGS' or shops are fair.. but like I said GameStop definitely wasn't fair in this case man! OUCH. ☠
I had product in hand that I wanted. I made the decision at the time to trade in just my vaporeon. 160 in credits enough to get a lot of sealed to open haha but when I had it all, they couldnt process it XD all worked out I guess
lol, way to contradict yourself. they did offer him over 60% on one of the cards
@@samueld5418 🤣
I up the bid to 20 on Zapdos
what a deal lol
Black Light..
Yellow light..
I need to grade my cards now....i need a new Xbox😂
Hahahah make sure it's a 10 😂
@@DKCards I don't have that much good luck🤣
What do you expect man, they are a business… they have to make SOME money and besides the roaring moon those were good prices. Sounds like you expected them to rip themselves off and give you 100% of what the card is
I think I summarized everything in the end in regards to my overall thoughts. But as i stated, completely understand the value of what gamestop is doing by noooo means did I expect 100 percent value in credit or cash as that is nonsense.
Gamestop lol
Big time lol
Beautiful haircut
You the best 💘 😂
Gamestop is worse than a pawn shop.
Basically a pawn shop lol but with their pro memberships, some deals aren't too bad imo
I'll give you $20 for that Zapdos... but that also includes shipping LOL. Man it's kind of funny seeing Game Stop being consistent with their shenanigans. Got done like this back in the day with games.
Lol brings me back for sure 😂😂😂
im good smh
Lol smart
I used to work at GS and their system is horrible. 😅
Lol it did crash when they were about to take my trade in
Mid haircut….nah I’m kidding bro
Gotta leave it to SCAMstop to lowball 🙄
hahah thanks man XD and yeahhh i mean i think some of the values were like 75 percent tcg but still not good.
Not trying to be funny but you do know these store are trying to make money so you should not be surprised these places are never going to give you close to full value when they have to make money off of selling the card as well -- just saying
I think I made a pretty good summary in the end there and agree with you on that part.
@@DKCards yah somethings should be expected but like you said it really depends the time and effort ppl want to put into selling because I sell online and work full time and it can be very draining like having 2 jobs. So if people want to sell quick and easy and give up the leg work its gunna come at price and cut to the profits for sure
@user-kq8ui6dh1b exactly, like I think there is a market and place for gamestop to be doing this and if anything it opens the avenue for more people to be able to join in on tcgs overall and something can definitly be said about the convenience of it all.
Good thing you didn't Holy moley
Yeahh just the roaring moon eas a huge rip lol
only eBay, Amazon and other platforms . why u go to this stupid store 🤯🤣
Did you seriously just call it pokeymon?
lol, what I gather from this..... pokemon fans have no business sense, are overly entitled, and will forever operate as oversized children
I don't think that's what I summarized in the end of the video lol
burn...................GS sucks
The pro member rewards aren't too bad though lol
@@DKCards true, can't go wrong with discounts. Just sucks they try to burn people selling their slabs
Terrible haircut
Can always rely on you to bring me up
