    Something very similar happened to my mom. I was on a deployment overseas and my parents had a garage sale to get rid of “unwanted” things before they moved into their new house. My Dad hated video games and always thought of them as “junk”. He boxed everything up and gave it to my mom to put in the sale. She sold my entire N64 collection including consoles and several sealed games, my PS1 and PS2 with a metric F ton of games, and my small Super Nintendo collection that was passed down from my older cousin. Everything went for like $100 total. I have since spent an unholy amount of money trying to get back a fraction of what I had. Makes me sick to stomach thinking about it to this day. Didn’t get that $100 from them either. I alway had a semi unhealthy relationship with my dad starting in my teen years, this instance severely limited any affection I had for him moving forward. I’m older now and my kid loves games, I’ll never stoke that fire or sell his shit for pennies lol. Subscribed, keep shining lite on these grubby hyena’s.

      Well, I mean there's other reasons why people like emulation tho, like the convenience of having the ability to play any games you want all on one system as opposed to having several different games consoles that has to be set up individually. That and honestly I'd rather launch a rom and have fun rather than having to fight with an actual NES to get the game to play

    Thank you, Steve! ❤ I remember years ago I was at a yard sale and this elderly man was selling Chrono Trigger(cartridge only) for $5. I just didn't have it in me to fuck him over. I told him what he had and he thanked me for my honesty and when I bought some other games from him, he ended up giving me that copy of Chrono Trigger. Sometimes doing the right thing pays off in it's own right.

      You had a choice that day and you made the right one. That is a proper way to earn a game. And honestly, even if he said I'll sell it to ya for $20 that still would have been great.

    • @ShellySteamDeck
      @ShellySteamDeck Рік тому +3

      @Heckin' Steve Exactly! The way I look at it is if they know what they have and they want to sell it cheap, that's one thing. However these people have no idea what they have and I bet if they did, they wouldn't be selling the box for $30. Some people say "well that's their fault for not looking it up online ", but that's where you as a person have a choice to do the right thing. And what really is cruddy is that it's not even for their collection. It's all going right up on ebay to destroy retro collecting. 😫

    To those of you defending this reseller, do you really think that taking advantage of someone's ignorance is what ethical business people do? No, that is what con artists do. Someone running an ethical business would aim for all of their business transactions to be win-win situations and this one was clearly a win-lose situation. He easily could have offered those people more money for those games and still made a huge profit in the process. If the people selling the games went to sell them to a brick and mortar store, do you think they would have just been offered $30 for all of those? Depending on where they went, they could have easily have been offered anywhere between $150 and a few hundred dollars and the store that bought those still would have made a huge profit off of them. Even DK Oldies would have given them more money than this reseller did.
    If this guy is supposed to be a professional regarding game prices, then wouldn't it have been unprofessional of him to not tell those people that they are severely undervaluing the games they are selling? He easily could have given them $300 instead of $30 and still have made a huge profit on this pickup and that would have been much more of a win-win situation. Even if he gave them $1,000 for the games, he still would have doubled his money and that would be a very good deal for him. In certain industries, a profit above a certain margin is illegal, but that isn't the case in game reselling because it would be difficult to prove because resellers can just lie about how much they paid for something. So for those praising this guy and resellers like him, keep in mind that what he and they are doing would be considered a financial crime if they were selling something other than used games.

    I have been watching a lot of your videos recently. I do enjoy the perspective. However, a garage sale deal is all about both parties being happy with the transaction. Most people have garage sales to get rid of stuff. The work that goes into selling a collection like that is a lot. I am a reseller who obviously tries to buy things at the lowest price possible to be able to resell them for the highest price possible. Whenever I buy something I never seal a deal if the other party isnt happy. You have to realize that those same people in that same situation would have donated those items to a goodwill if no one bought them. they have it out in a garage sale because they want to get rid of it without having to put much work into offloading it. but anyways, enjoy watching your videos for what they are. keep it up.

I'd have straight up emptied my wallet, handed it over and said "This is all I have right now. I know you asked for $30 but to me this is worth much more. Here is $324 and I will return within the hour with more."
    I'd even literally tell them that I'm a reseller, I make no attempt to hide it. I'm not ashamed of what I do and I pay very high, 50% to 70% and I'm only making 15-35% a lot of the time for a lot of tedious work. I'm not a greedy parasite.

    Heres the thing guys.....back in the day. Im talkin pre 2008. You could get deals like this all the time! Atleast I did.....I aquired probably 70% of the nes, snes, and genesis full librarys from 99-2015. I paid up for some ofthe higher end stuff of course, but I was grabbing games like wacky races, cowboy kid, kid klown, dragon fighter for less than $5. Obviously the game market has changed alot since then. The resellers, and collectors are the reason why the majority of these games are priced so high. Only a handful of games on each console are "ACTUALLY" Rare. If many retro collectors that have been collecting for decades unloaded 90% of games would be $20 and under. Marios, zeldas, etc etc would be $2 games. Theres literally millions. Anyways thats the thrill of the hunt! Find amazing deals for cheap! These ladies should have done thier due diligence honestly. Thats why people wake up early, and grind to find deals. If you find a bag of 14k gold necklaces & rings for $5. Are you going to offer the seller half of gold spot price??? Highly doubt it.....I dont like how arrogant he is afterwards honestly. This video is cringe af. Just a bunch of whining

    Its a different scenario if there are kids interested as well. Or if another collector is there. Then by all means let the kid pick out some.

Maybe id throw them a $50 but thats the whole reason we get out, and hunt. To find the treasures! If the ladies are happy with what they got then its all good. Im a collector, and a reseller. So id keep what I didnt have then sell the rest for a premium to buy other games on my list. However Ive already owmed complete libraries of 7 different consoles.

      You made a responsible decision when you sold off your collection to buy a house and everything else. But for the other stuff you said about this particular video; Let’s say $30 was a good deal in the minds of the ladies running the sale. They only think that because they don’t know any better. Anyone that knows what they actually have will always say something like “I know this stuff is valuable but I just want it gone fast” but of course in this video they never said that. Instead we saw dumbfounded expressions as they tried to evaluate a fair price to sell their merch on the spot with no knowledge. And we both know that the reseller SeeDonuts had a clue at what he was looking at but decided to stay silent in hopes of taking advantage of the two ladies. And it paid off for him at the cost of being an asshole in my eyes. And a lot of other people that have commented seem to agree with me. Then he decides to list games above current market value online even after getting such a steal of a deal. I apologize to ya man but I can’t believe you’d defend a piece of crap like that.

      same dude. its not worth it anymore. just emulated because its stops greedy resellers from profiting off people who don't know.

      Same. I sold a bunch of mine a couple years ago to save for a house, but also because of the pure frustration of collecting at the prices out there now.

    Just the Gamecube Resident Evil game, Silent Hill 4, and the Xenosaga games would be worth at least $500. If this seller offered $500 for that box, he'd still be getting an incredibly good deal on those considering the prices they are going for these days and knowing this he definitely should have offered a lot more than $30 for it. Even if the seller offered that price, it isn't ethical to take it when you know the value of the games is astronomically higher than that. Ripping people off just because they are ignorant isn't cool.

      Exactly. And there’s actually people defending the video in the comments right now.
