Some tips I could give: when everyone is collecting something, get ahead (go for Wii while everyone is going for Gamecube) be persistent (the one time you don’t check you’ll regret it) and don’t be afraid to pick up doubles for trade (have 3 copies of f zero gx right now from really good prices, bundles, and my personal copy)
You are absolutely correct about Wii. I am going back to that very soon. I grabbed a lot around the time Wii U came out and have sporadically gotten things. I don't think we are gonna see super high price hikes for that but what seems reasonable now will inevitably seem like a silly deal in the future.
@@snakeeyes2k4 I started in 2017 and there are a couple games I never got because I couldn't justify the $40-$50 prices, like Paper Mario, Eternal Darkness. Big oof. Now I'm hoping to get them at $70 lol. How tf are all these new collectors affording these prices?
Yeah, I've been stocking up on a ton of Wii games, since that's probably gonna be the next one to boon in pricing. I have been buying GameCube when I can, tho.
As soon as this video went live I searched gamecube on Craigslist and found a MINT condition platinum console with 3 controllers and 18 decent games for $100. Just got back from picking it up. Turning on notifications not only gets me great content but amazing deals! lol
@@megami215 I also have pretty good local shops to where if they have multiples of a game and say one manual or case looks better than the other or something they'll let you mix and match to get the best looking stuff.
I’d love to see an updated version of Collecting Tips 101! It helped me out back then and it still helps me now, and an updated version would be awesome!
You’re absolutely right that generosity goes a long way especially when you’re acquiring games, I have gotten many great deals just by using all the tips you say
Thank bloody goodness I own almost every gamecube game I ever wanted to collect. I only need 1080 Avalanche, Fire Emblem POR, Mario Baseball and one or two others maybe. Currently have 103 games I believe. But I also still need a gameboy player lol. Anyways cheers to another great video monsieur!
Collecting in LA is so hard, most people are resellers and spike prices. Last good find i got was a brand new copy of persona Q2 at gamestop for 30 bucks!
I remember finding the last kingdom and animal crossing for GameCube both for $2 each at a flea market about 2 years ago. In all honesty I haven’t gotten to play them but instead of selling them I know I will eventually want to play them so rather save them than pay a lot for them in the future
Awesome video as always, I paid a rough price on some of these, but being friendly and kind goes a long ways. Thank God I have Skies of Arcadia lol That would be my favorite out of the collection you have today! Still don't have Def jam unfortunately, but I did get to play it back in the day I'd love to get my hands on it. keep up the great work and have an awesome day!
@@daddydelavega5550 This is actually my second copy! The first was disc only so having a CIB is nice! Also have Fire Emblem disc only. That game is too expensive to complete haha
It's tricky but I have found good deals on Amazon listings of all things. Sometimes book sellers will post CIB games for the disc/cart only price because they really don't seem to know any better. Often they don't have a good description and pictures are rare but you can message them to ask the specific condition. I've managed to get CIB (even retro) games this way but it is time consuming.
Have you ever heard of Q-Mart? Up in quakertown, I’m not sure how far away you are from there. But they have all kinds of games, NES,SNES, GENESIS, Saturn, N64, PS1,2,3, and Atari. They’ve may have got more in. Not to mention they have every system you can purchase.
I like collecting GameCube games whenever it has the players choice label or the original I really don't mind I just like having the games I'm looking for.
I own two copies of DJFFNY, one on PS2 and Xbox. Had bought them around 2015-2016 when they were cheap, like, $20. Crazy to see how much the game sky-rocketed in price.
Holy cow gauntlet has been stupid expensive but it is the best era of that franchise. I just emulated it for Ps2 though and finally completed it during march and April
I got Skies of Arcadia, MGS Twin Snakes, and Fire Emblem Path of Radiance for $2 each in like 2012, at a rental store where you could buy anything if it hadn't been rented for 6 months
I love the GameCube and I do in fact have Skies of Arcadia Legends. Love that game so much. Also fun fact when I got my copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends after I ordered it off eBay, the seller actually sent me a DVD copy of Chappell’s Show Season 2 for Free alongside the game, no I’m not joking.
I just found a good CiB copy of Zelda collectors edition on GameCube at a garage sale today, I looked up the Pricechart value online ($48 loose, sixty-something CiB), told the gal as much, but she still insisted on letting it go for one dollar! She really didn't mind. 😅
I remember buying LK1 at GameDude for like $15 when I was a child & my brother had LK2 yrs earlier. 🙂 Honestly thought that not a lot of people knew about them.
Lost Kingdoms are now more expensive because they’re made by From Soft, and now FS games are really popular because many people love to play “souls” games. This is nothing like that, but From Software is well known now and price FS games is up...
Good to see you finally got Skies! What do you think about Evolution Worlds? Mediocre game on the GameCube and if I'm not wrong, easy to get for less than $20... last year. I dint know the current price right now, but I think it would be a good idea to buy it now because all Cube games are getting expensive in general.
I always hunt my gamecube games in near mint or like new condition and is hard to find this titles in this condition and almost imposible to make a good deal
def jam surprised me :D especially bc the european version is WAY cheaper! depends on the console, but rarely above 40€. ps2 version usually for below 10€
I feel like Gauntlet isn't all that rare, juat uncommon, but expensive right now because its multiplayer on a popular console to collect for, plus quarantine and all that. Weird how much it shot up
Yeah that's weird but GameCube for whatever reason forces people to pay a premium on it too. I got it for ps2 and I think it's still cheaper and if not grab it on original Xbox as well. Original Xbox is still quite cheap.
@@XEMIko79x yeah opportunistic ebay sellers are good at that. And yeah i have the xbox version from my childhood and the ps2 from a bit back. Its just it was around what other gc uncommons were before all this so.
@@etherealnoire The worst part about 3rd party games on GameCube is that they are usually slightly inferior to their ps2 and Xbox counterparts mostly features stripped away like bonus stuff. Never really quite understood why they shot themselves in the foot with the smaller medium
@@XEMIko79x yeah which is odd, considering the gamecube is apparently more powerful than ps2 in some ways? Gauntlet DL on gc and xbox were ports of the ps2 version apparently though, so they underperformed in some ways because of that
Agent S they’re popular and sell fast. Especially games like wii series Mario party/kart/galaxy/new animal crossing etc. unpopular games aren’t too pricy (son and punishment Metroid prime 3 are $10 each)
@@GerardMenvussa Yes, there are some Wii games that only went up a little or stayed the same, but some of the best are overpriced, like $35 for Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Twilight Princess, and Wii Sports, and more. SMG2, Wii Sports Resort, NSMB Wii, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, and Skyward Sword are $40. And Mario Kart Wii Is at least $50.
The PlayStation 2 version of Gauntlet Dark Legacy had health bars above the enemies heads when they are tougher enemies like the main bosses and the bigger creatures that roam around but the GameCube version does not The PlayStation version has the same menu as the GameCube version but as we all know PlayStation ones and twos don't have 4 controller ports so I have no idea if you'd actually be able to play 4 player Don't forget to load your character and then remove your memory card so you can plug a second one in and load up your other player because the GameCube only has two slots but all four of you would probably want to take your players home after you're done instead of having them stuck on one memory card which if you do that you cannot separate them
Don't ask if people have other on eBay they will send you an automated message warning you not to do transactions off of the platform. They can blacklist you. Take that to another platform I would say fb marketplace would be the spot for it. Just because people want to get rid of stuff quick. I always do vague searches. Sometimes it works out. Most times it doesn't. Hasn't worked out for games but has for clothing weirdly enough. Yep agree with you on being cordial with people. I have built relationships with some vendors by simply being respectful and nice to them. Sometimes you can get a deal from time to time. Lithium always with the nuggets of knowledge. Please update the tips series. Revisit some of the tips and give us a special edition of the most valuable ones lol. I can say your tips did help me become a better collector across the board in all of my collecting endeavors. Thought I was seasoned but then I found your collecting tips videos and I was blown away by some of the little things I missed out on.
NOT eBay - I should have mentioned this but if you ask on eBay apparently their internal system sends you a notification that asking to sell outside of eBay can get you banned. I do recommend asking on Facebook, Instagram, Mercari, Kijiji, Craigslist etc.
Super Monkey Ball 1, 2 and Adventure are only available on GameCube not Dreamcast. Monkey Ball is only on arcades and forgot to mention that Super Monkey Ball 1 is also available for the Xbox OG as Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.
Wow theres a gamecube version if Gauntlet Dark Legacy? in a different label?? Kind of not suprised it cosr a pretty penny, that specific gauntlet is really good
Just want to clarify some of the info you said on monkey ball. Monkey ball never came out on the Dreamcast. Monkey ball 1 is more of a pure puzzle game, just do the challenges in a set time. Monkey ball 2 does have a story mode with different themed worlds etc. Monkey ball adventure is a pile of crap, it does have a story mode but they ruined the great puzzle formula. Monkey ball 1+2 did come out on PS2 and Xbox in a sort of way as Monkey Ball Deluxe where it has monkey ball 2 story mode with monkey ball 1 levels added into the worlds. If you want to just get one monkey ball for the gamecube, I'd get number 2. MB2 is one of the greatest games of all time. If you want a nice complete version of both then I'd get monkey ball deluxe for the xbox.
Hopefully all these wacky retro prices slope down soon :[ There were 2 retro gaming cons coming to my city and I was planning on really adding to my collection, then of course covid hit and now everything costs twice as much. Like seriously does Silent Hill 4 really need to go for over $100 now??
It's pronounced Nah-tsoo-meh :) On the topic of labels,i much prefer the original black covers :) My favorite out of all of these,is Skies of Arcadia. I would say that is my favorite on the console. Love Fina! :) The Harvest Moon games hold my interest,but i would like to focus on older experiences first.Oh,and yes,i think we could use updates on the tips.
Super Monkey Ball Adventure would be fun but the loading times are so long it's ridiculous. The map is pretty unclear where loading zones are which forces you to accidentally expose yourself to dozens of 5 minute loading screens by accident. Such a shame because otherwise it's a super fun game.
@@Nixxyol It depends how good of condition you care about getting it in and where you look, i suggest eBay, they are cheap there! About $40 is a nice price!!
@NintendoCollecting I'm having an issue with accessing the marketplace and I'm not quite sure what the problem is, do you have a solution to it? Also, what's the name of the marketers?
I own & play Dej Jam Fight for NY for both Xbox & Gamecube. I also still have Def Jam Vendetta for Gamecube but its mediocre compared to NY. NY is definately a step up to Vendetta & although I did like it on gamecube at first, the xbox version was way better. U got a great deal on NY since it is the fan favorite Def Jam game. Yes its weird that is has people like Omar Epps, Carmen Elektra & other non music artists but still a great game
Problem is there are too many people that already know what your doing and price the same way with their lots and will not budge on their prices. Garage sales are the best but its random
My biggest tip for collecting GameCube games right now: Don't. The prices will go down. They won't stay this way forever. Do you REALLY NEED all the GameCube games you want RIGHT NOW? Wait. Most of the expensive games right now are all common games and their value will go down. Don't spend $80 on Sunshine. Don't do it.
On the subject of internet price guides....don't just accept values they're spitting out without doing your own homework. There are multiple factors that can cause the reported value to be completely wrong. These guides are highly susceptible to GIGO (garbage in, garbage out), so always scrutinize the listings that are being averaged (and the way they're being averaged...pricecharting is prone to letting outdated values drag the average down, which was especially evident during the spike this year).
I know I got trouble just playing Mario strikers Me and my friends We are pretty loud on the game and the cop came by to my house he said Tear down the noise I said we are just playing video games 🤣 He’s like OK
Def Jam Fight For NY is not rare at all... It's just expensive. At least here in Europe. Don't know about the US. But you can find it here on most retro game sites. I bought it for £36 dollars on a danish retro site, complete in box.
Funny I just about to sell all my ps2 games and then this vid came I saw def Jam fight was rare all thanks to this vid I did not sell it for 1 dollars and I got it for free
Some tips I could give: when everyone is collecting something, get ahead (go for Wii while everyone is going for Gamecube) be persistent (the one time you don’t check you’ll regret it) and don’t be afraid to pick up doubles for trade (have 3 copies of f zero gx right now from really good prices, bundles, and my personal copy)

I'm not picky with my GameCube collection labels. I'd rather have the game then pass on something good because of the label.
Plus just print out a black gamecube case logo and slip it in underneath the plastic part of the cover lol.
Or else just arrange them by color, yellows separate from black! It's what I do for my Studio Ghibli collection. 😀
just buy iy and replace it later if you find another

Zayd Snaynay why do you like the yellow labels more no offense but they are so ugly maybe the worst players choice from any gaming company
Y-dorb I just like the color yellow and it makes my collection look nice whenever I put the GameCube games sideways 😅😅
Zayd Snaynay I personally don’t like yellow but hey everyone has different taste plus the player choose are cheaper

I know right? Carmen Elektra belongs in this type of video game?
Problem is there are too many people that already know what your doing and price the same way with their lots and will not budge on their prices. Garage sales are the best but its random
I haven’t seen a garage sale since 2011 lol
My biggest tip for collecting GameCube games right now: Don't.
The prices will go down. They won't stay this way forever. Do you REALLY NEED all the GameCube games you want RIGHT NOW? Wait. Most of the expensive games right now are all common games and their value will go down. Don't spend $80 on Sunshine. Don't do it.
I saw that pirate game at a book off for $60, gosh, I'm such an idiot!
Could have seemed expensive at the time
Wow he have Dark legacy gauntlet
On the subject of internet price guides....don't just accept values they're spitting out without doing your own homework. There are multiple factors that can cause the reported value to be completely wrong.
These guides are highly susceptible to GIGO (garbage in, garbage out), so always scrutinize the listings that are being averaged (and the way they're being averaged...pricecharting is prone to letting outdated values drag the average down, which was especially evident during the spike this year).
I agree that's why I usually look at Ebay completed auctions but that obviously takes a lot more effort and it's hard to suggest to people
I bought mario party 6 with the first print big box in perfect condition on Ebay for a premium 150
Luckily some of these games might get rereleased on current gen consoles.
Probably not. We'll be lucky to get Sunshine..
For some reason I have dark legacy Gauntlet black label
I always look for black label GameCube games. They look nicer to me too.
I just found def jam fight for ny for ps2 for $2
Resellers that don’t collect games watching this video like 👁👄👁

The fighting game is the best that’s my favourite game The most fun it’s Mario strikers Best game
I know I got trouble just playing Mario strikers Me and my friends We are pretty loud on the game and the cop came by to my house he said Tear down the noise I said we are just playing video games 🤣 He’s like OK
Def Jam Fight For NY is not rare at all... It's just expensive.
At least here in Europe. Don't know about the US. But you can find it here on most retro game sites.
I bought it for £36 dollars on a danish retro site, complete in box.
Funny I just about to sell all my ps2 games and then this vid came I saw def Jam fight was rare all thanks to this vid I did not sell it for 1 dollars and I got it for free
From software made lost kingdoms
Heck yea, I just bought def jam for 30 bucks from a friend. I won't play it so I'll sell it on Ebay
I don’t mind the “Player’s Choice” that much but “Nintendo Selects” on the other hand are pretty bad.
now who else other then me prefers players choice lol
It's "Nat-su-may."
You should do a give away to those extra games you have
Epic
The players choice box art in the UK is awful😢 the whole spine of the box is silver with generic font, no artwork.
You ain’t got Gotcha Force
Def Jam games are cool in theory but don’t play well compared to other fighting games
lmao i just posted goblin commander on my ebay store incomplete as well if anyone wants a good deal hmu
