It's been about a year since I've been to my local video game store, and I want to see if they pay good money for games. Years ago when they needed lots of inventory I could trade in hundreds of games. A year ago they would hardly take any of my trade in games. Now the game store is under new management, and I'm curious if it's worth trading in video games to get collection pieces or video games to profit.

Love the channel but are you guys really questioning why they didn't buy that stuff? It's stuff that would just sit on their shelves just like it does in your game barn lol
I appreciate Skylar’s extra effort to record himself saying “deals” a dozen or more times. It’s the little things
The disc replay's in the Detroit area tend to have a 50% bonus trade-in credit thing every year or so, I brought a big box of games in and they didn't even take everything but gave me the choice of $200 cash or 330 credit, which absolutely blew me away, also I have bought a Gameboy player set for $110 and and flipped it for $250 last month.
I did the same last week. Used trade credit; paid $55 for NCAA basketball 10 CIB, sold for $90. Paid $104 for Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy CIB; sold for $150.
Skylar was born in the wrong time period, I would love to see him do the tv call now commercials
My disc replay in my area is always desperate for video games. I had a huge bin of $5-$10 games plus some Blu rays and some guitar hero guitars (they were paying extremely well for them). They took EVERYTHING. After it all it was $270 cash or $350 credit. I looked around in the store but wasn't able to find it so I took the cash as I didn't pay that much for the video games and Blu rays. So I think it all depends on what inventory they have
Oh my lord that what not commercial was so amazing! You guys rule! Thanks for making me smile, my crew. BARTLDOOOOOOOOOO!
Honesty, I’d be surprised if any stores are taking 16-bit Sports games. They used to sit on our game shelf for months. Even marked down to $.10 no one was taking them!
Hey CATRP Crew the Bratz games actually have some value, I just sold PS2 Rock Angelz CIB for 39.99 plus shipping ~ was happily surprised they've jumped up in value. Keep up the great content
That informercial was epic and I had to remind myself I was not eating my Nintendo Cereal as a kid waiting for He-Man to come back on during commercial break. Speaking of Nintendo Cereal...does Chase own a vintage box of Nintendo Cereal?
I normally get a little irritated with whatnot ads in every other video I watch, but that was just genius… 👏 👏 👏
Also, there are a lot of game stores around me that are suuuuper picky with what they will accept and offer peanuts (while charging eBay + for everything… 🙄) which is what I feel happened here. However I do have one LGS that I frequent the most who gladly accept *almost* everything and offer fair store credit. So needless to say, that’s where I choose to spend my time and money. Wish other stores would figure this out…
The last time I took all my "I don't want to sell on eBay" games to my local game store the guy literally told me to stop bringing in my garbage to him. I now sell them in lots of 100 for $250 obo on marketplace and they always sell in like 2 days. Recommend doing that if game stores start turning you guys down or offering super low trade in values.
@@niagarajoe4402 he doesn’t want lots with only garbage. Being your competitions dumping ground for low margin product is a quick way to go out of business.
@@niagarajoe4402if it’s not worth the time to list, it’s pretty much garbage, not sure why you would get upset because they called a spade a spade.
I used to work at a couple different stores like this and sometimes I feel like the employees get mad when people bring a ton of crap in and then it puts them in a bad mood towards you and then they lowball you to try to make as much off you as possible and deter you from coming back I could be wrong just my opinion
You guys should go in with just a few of those low dollar games and maybe show them price charting and that they could turn a profit on them. Remember just cuz they work at a game store doesn't necessarily mean they are gamers.
Great video as always I just bought some ps2 games from the whatnot but it now section
Best ad I have ever seen in a UA-cam video lol!! Great job Skyler, God bless you and the family!!!
Great job on the infomercial sky-guy! you reminded me of the dk oldies guy. now i want a dkoldies style shorts from Skylar lmao.
That Sky Guy Infomercial was top notch 🤣
Yup
@@TheJRPGeek "Today and yesterday's tomorrow" got me 🤣
Ending made the bit even better...
Give sky guy a bonus. Dat infomercial was awesome!
Shots fired at cyberpunk 5 seconds in
The discs should be worth something now b/c they contain free upgrades to the PS5 & Series X versions of the game, which retail for $60 digitally or sale price of $25-$30 IF you catch them on sale.
Plus all the updates after the Netflix series has people interested in them again.
MOAR SKYGUY INFOMERCIALS!!!
Yeah the commercial 🔥 authentic and just straight up genius fantastic and I loved it. Keep it up guys straight hustlers
Wow that Whatnot ad was awesome!
i love the small edits in this
The sky guy infomercial. 👨🍳💋
What’s a good way to trade in old PS2, Xbox 360 sports games? I have a ton and would be cool to trade them for a couple good games.
Sky guy making waves with the edits - nice job dude
Do you have a website to sell stuff like handheld consoles such as gameboys or ds
I live in Battle Creek and used to go there a lot. Not as much now. But when I would go with my friend, he didn’t really have satisfied outcomes. Sometimes it can be a win but mostly a disappointment for that disc traders. Also if you ever by a DVD Steel book, check the case after buying it. One time I got home and the guy did not put the dvd in the case. So I had to go all the way up there after calling. Must of been a newbie mistake and I’m not sure if he still works there anymore but just giving you a heads up. Hope you guys had fun. I enjoy your guys content. 💯 👍
I am glad to see they have new management. They told me that I can't buy anything, because I am a reseller. But, I can sell to them...I thought that was weird. I trade in to the Angola Pawn shop, yep the same one you scoffed at several videos ago. Their prices are high, but they always hook me up on trade-ins. I built a good business relationship with them and give them items they are looking for. I have built a pretty sweet Wii/ WiiU personal collection without spending any of my own money.
How do they know you resell?
@@danh2134 They overheard me talking to another customer about games. It is a very small store.
@@davidmcdaniel5310 now I see
I'm thinking of starting a flea market booth for the under $10 stuff
The accessory you should give them is cheat devices like GameShark or action replay for PS2 and GameCube
I didn't know those Chrome controllers are that expensive. I have blue one and black one. I think I paid 20€ and 25€ as new.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of game stores who want their cake and eat it too. They won't let you trade in common title games that will go out the door quick for titles that they're going to sit on. There's a game store that kicked me out for trading in too many times. The store owner is a little baby and thought he was being taken advantage of. As though they're not doing the exact same thing. Lmfao.
Just be aware of this. Or other stores have started to make it so you can't use store credit on games $40 or more. Which is an absolute joke.
That’s terrible, but I’m not surprised. Honestly if you’re a brick and mortar store you can’t run a business like a reseller. You need to offer customer service and be polite. I especially hate business owners who say, “I’m paying rent and taxes” when you ask them for a discount.
That whatnot infomercial! 🔥👏
That ad was perfect
maybe try diff store & see which ones give more in trade
Do you still have that sealed Warhawk?
What do you do with the games that they won't buy? Just bundle them up and try to sell them in a lot online?
Yeah, just find ways to include them in big lots online usually
I love these videos
Great video guys
I’m sure you already know this, but I’m gonna say it anyway try taking stuff to Game exchange. I know my local game exchange over here in Texarkana are pretty much taking anything. I just took in a bunch of literal garbage ended up with around 75 store credit apparently corporate is telling them to buy all sorts of stuff right now, so if you have one local in your area, I wanna try them.
RIP on the bratz. Pretty much anything Bratz is worth decent money. The dolls sell really well, if you find any at yard sales coming up.
Surprisingly the bratz games sell for around $20 a piece lol. Definitely shouldnt trade em in
They didn't buy everything else because they already have dozens they can't sell
Hi!
I like the old school commercial skit ❤️🔥
Skyguy always killing it
Is Disc Replay the only option in Michigan? There’s no GameExchange or other 3rd party used media store or chain?
There might be a few other random small chains
@@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice The only chains we have in STL are Vintage Stock and Slackers, but they are terrible. Thankfully we have a few local places, but they won't take everything you bring them.
If you guys ever want a road trip to one of the coolest game stores Stone Ager Gamer in Ohio takes everything you bring them. I've had some pretty junky stuff and they'll still take it, and I've always been pretty satisfied with their credit offers.
That place looks awesome
Bratz games actually are worth something. Maybe it's just the GC ones but the rock star one is like $25
Stores don't buy product at ebay rates , if its worth 50 they will low ball you. Also they sell whatever you brought in at highest paid recently sold ebay prices
@Dan H correct but they could keep the bratz games I just double checked and even on ps2 they can go for alot. I sold a disc only for like $15 on ebay.
Just bring it all to us, we take it all! No game left behind baby!
Skylar commercial is like a fallout 3 vault video lmao
Have you been to the Swap Meet in Lansing?
Yes!!
Omg sky guy you are a legend 🤣🤣🤣
I just sold that Bratz game for like 20 or $25
EDIT: OMG YALL USED A SCREENSHOT OF MY SKYLANDERS SALE I JUST MADE :) it was $20 at my local Gamestop! Huge bolo!
I love it! Great score for you there
Do you need to be in the US to win on whatnot?
nope, our giveaways are international
If you ever come to huntsville, I have a place I go that takes everything.
Amazing city! Been once
Let's goooo game, games, games
Is it worth bundling all the ATV games and sell as a lot on ebay?
Yes. I’ll do that with the complete ones
I'd thought bk games would be worth more idk I loved them but I don't play Xbox anymore
Anything bratz has been selling pretty well for me!
Was there a point where you consider opening a physical game store yourself? :)
Probably not worth it where he lives. Might already be a game store near him and I'm pretty sure he crushes what the physical game store sells through Amazon, Ebay, What-not, and garage sale.
The Whatnot was fun!
Thanks for hanging! Next Friday evening should be even more fun!
Shops are hard places to sell "carbage games" etc., surely they go for value items and dont want to store anything that is hard to sell and get profit. So you have to be very picky these days as buyer and seller, not just buy or wish too much?
Perhaps just create big bundles online and sell them in cheap prices to open more space in barn, then re-invest this income to compensate possible losses etc.?
having flashbacks to the 90s
Cex in the uk would give you 10 p each at the most and 1p at the lowest! And that's for a voucher!
I'd bundle ATV into a trilogy and sell it that way.
Mans sounds like bob from bobs burgers
Wow a ChessMaster for the SNES.
I like to use estarland to trade off some bulk as well, then whatever they don't accept I take to my local store and they pay pretty fairly on it. Recently I took a few bags of mainly low end stuff and got a clean complete copy of Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland with it ($100).
I need to fill titles for my PS2 collection. Put together a huge fucking lot and I’ll buy it!
@@niagarajoe4402 ?
What I took away from this is never go to GameStop last time I went to GameStop with the midnight release of Black ops 2 and I regret it Black ops 2 sucked
Skyler looks exactly like chase chrisley
But wait…. Theres less..
The less you move the camera around, the better. Otherwise there is too much movement and it's hard to focus on things.
Could you imagine being a game store and looking at these junk games coming from a guy wanting to trade for good $40+ GameCube games that sell easily?
And no, game stores can't "easily" sell splinter cell on PS2 lmao. They have 10 copies to sell already.
Video games have changed. Sell it as soon as possible.
As a game store owner. We are currently getting overwhelmed with trades at the moment. I can understand why they passed on some of it. Sometimes you just have too many of certain titles. I almost never pass on most retro except Atari. Also PS2, 360, PS3, Wii, common stuff I am over stocked on.
Also we kinda hate giant trades unless you call a head so we can be staffed accordingly. It takes hours to process.
Uk bratz are good value
Trading in hundreds of common games 🎮 to a game 🎮 store, does ReyroRicky need more for his store?
I have the Zelda game you want mint. HMU I’ll sell it
Skylar dude you are talented
Love From Pakistan
Thank you!! -SkyGuy
200 made
I wouldn't want that trash either
Sorry whatnot not my jam would prefer not to hear about it all the time starting to make me fast forward or not watch
Tom Clancy games on PS2 are inferior to the Xbox versions. Not to mention the Xbox versions are now backwards compatible which still hasn't really increased their value very much. Generally nobody really wants 20 year old junk filler.
Though not all the time as I would be interested in that Dreamcast RF adapter for my collection. 😁
