My dude, stop wasting money on ballasts and bulbs and go LED. You will save so much money!
Just thought you should know, Daniel Pasina isn’t the voice of those characters. He’s the actor whose likeness was made into the game’s sprites.
this is correct because scorpion's get over here was done by ed boon himself, which is why he's often asked to do it at cons.
Switch to LED bulbs
I once got a marketplace deal for a boxed complete Mint NES with a bunch of games and a Master System 1 with a load of games, some of which were pretty rare heavy hitters. Paid the seller double what they were asking for the lot and I still got a amazing deal. If I know I'm getting a deal I'll usually pay over asking. I was always brought up with the mindset that you get back what you give out. Worked out pretty well so far.
Reconsider Limited Run - they are burning intentional DVR quality discs that do not work for people now. People are dropping them like a bad habit
Such a problematic company. I 100% refuse to support them.
@@KurenTV bought a Switch game from them and it came without the cartridge and it was fake sealed with shitty cellophane wrap.
LR has been trash for over 5 years since I know about them. The insane pre-order waiting times is out of this world.
I agree they are crap but that was only with one game and I’m sure they didn’t buy that copy
They need to go out of business. It’s worse than DKOldies.
My main is fox since n64 version of Smash. I love his moveset. Falco was an unlockble character by defeating 100man melee in melee (gamecube). Falco is a character I am learning as well.
Definitely no shame in the game. It’s the responsibility of the buyer and seller to conduct proper research. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Like they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
Look at USPS parcel ground, about the same shipping time, but cheaper
Giving what they are asking is on the seller. If you feel like they are way under priced you could offer more but that could have weird consequences. "Well how much are they really worth?"
What I find deplorable is asking for a lower price when you know it's a great deal. Saw something like this from someone on another UA-cam channel. Pursuing the Correct Cost. Stopped watching after that. The discount wasn't much on an already crazy low price but it was the principle.
Hey Rick your content is amazing and I love it when is the next time your going to be in Texas I have a pretty big collection of stuff that I think you would be interested in
As a fellow game store owner all of that stuff would disappear on eBay
I know this is an unpopular opinion but when I get a N64 game that someone wrote on back in the day I like leaving it on the game. I feel like it adds character and its part of that specific games history. Especially when its the name of the owner. I had my name on all my games back than.
Please make some of the retro con merch available online!
If I have anything extra to give and the seller is OK with letting stuff go for a small amount I'm always willing to give an increased amount, especially when people hold stuff for me and let me check it out before I hand them the money.
Moat recently picked up a big PS1/PS2 lot with about $400 worth of games. The lady held it for 2 days and let me go through everything and only wanted $50. I had $80 ok me and gave her the extra $30.
It was a good haul, considering out of the 40-50 games and consoles I kept about a dozen games for myself and made a profit on what I didn't need.
She said she didn't care about it since it was her ex husband's and he had over a year to come pick it up 😅
It sounds like the seller had no attachment to the games and just wanted to be rid of them quick in a single lot. To get top dollar for things, you'd have to go about price checking each one, testing, cleaning, and hunting for a buyer for each one. Selling them all for so cheap in a single sale would save them time from doing all that.
All the stuff up stairs why not sell on eBay and have upstairs as an eBay resell area selling stuff u can’t instore?
Would Love to Work at Retro Ricks Store!
The people out here saying the guy didnt Rob the person selling the games. are wild
have u ever had unexpected financiel problems and no money if so u would know that having stuff and needing to sell that stuff asap for money sucks because you cant wait with selling and getting a good price is hard close to impossible. having been there myself i have and always will regret the things i have sold in order to survive. these guys dont care about games they just wanna make some money horrible people imo. coudve atleast inform the person, But no Greed took over.
bad english not native language
Little Rock Arkansas, thoughts going out to the survivors and lost in American Airlines. Flight 1420😢
If Phoenix resell is coming to the convention then we should boycott it until he's removed.
As far as the deal. My dad has always said that you should always think about the other person and what kind of deal they got. Now if I’m going to a garage sale at a doctor’s house then yeah I’m not offering anymore money than what they are asking but if it’s a mother with kids and you can tell they aren’t just overflowing with money then yea I’m giving at least 50%.
I wholeheartedly agree with this, It reminds me of a reseller that frequented a swap meet that I'd go to. He once told me he liked going to garage sales "in the more ghetto areas" because "those people don't know what they have" and that just sounded so messed up to me.
I wouldn't have given her anything. That stuff was filthy, a good way to mess up your retro consoles with dirty games. Plus the writing on top the N64 cartridges with black sharpie. Barf.
I just wanna shout out the Scott Bloomquist shirt.
Demon Turf is a good 3D platformer, but if anyone really loves 2d platforming, their first game "Slime-san" is a masterpiece IMO
It's not the job of the reseller to inform the seller of the value of their items. It's the job of the reseller to make as much money possible by spending as LITTLE as possible. If the seller doesn't do their due diligence, oh well!
Don't worry man, i just bought 2k worth of books for 200 bucks.
I would pay the asking price. The seller is the one in control and sets the price.
With that deal? I would have offered $80. LOL.
"I have mouths to feed..."
..... and they don't?
Presumably, selling old games that they didn’t want anymore and clearly thought they weren’t that valuable, isn’t that persons actual job. If you’re gonna flip video games for a living then I guess you have to treat it like a business, not a moral endeavor.
If a seller’s asking price isn’t the market price, that shouldn’t really be the buyers concern. They asked and received what they asked for. Ehhhup!
I would have done the same thing! If I had only $120 in hand and they are asking $100 that is karma right there, great find!
I would have probably gave $200 for the games considering the one PS1 horror games goes for almost $350
Bad at business
@dznutzonfyre4432 its called being a human what if she had some other stuff lying around even more valuable and realized you got over on her thats why a lot of ppl don't get called back that's my opinion
It goes for 350 if it works. Was it tested by the seller? Would they let you test it before buying? Is there a money back guarantee if it doesn’t work? If not, The reseller is assuming risk here, and that lowers the price too.
@CarlYota you do know ppl most ppl throw games in the trash that don't work especially people that don't know about video games so im pretty sure they played those games over the years please stop the stupidity you could easy check the back of the disc and say something I said $200 and you got offended like have some decency
@@CarlYota it was in a plastic baggy, I’m pretty sure they took somewhat good care of it
Take a deal when you can find it
If both parties are happy with a sale that's all that matters
You give them the asking price no matter what it's worth. If i wanted to pay ebay prices I would go to ebay.
I have gotten dozens of deals in this year alone where its like $300-1000 worth of games for $50-100 and I feel good about it.
will you do 80 mam?
Limited Run Games sucks…
They announce the CE Radical Edition of TMNT Shredders Revenge, I order it for my wife, I wait 1 year 6 months….. It arrives (while others have already played the game) 1 week…. 1 week after the premium buyers get the game….
“Heres a 1 year anniversary with all the DLC on the disc 😃” 😑 with the CE edition being the vanilla version after 1 week.
F**k LRG
take it
Let’s me real if people are that stupid to sell stuff without looking it up then that’s on them
if she wants 100$ then thats what she gets
£600.
I used to work for ebgames fixing playstation 2's
Your heart sank when she said cash. Lol
Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real
Phoenix Resale would've asked if there was any wriggle room on the $100 game bundle
hed offer 20. Hes gotta make money too
The thing is, once you start offering more and more for the stuff the seller will get anxious and start to realize they're making a mistake and if you do end up completing the deal even after offering more you could leave them feeling regretful and unsure about what they just did. Match their ask and be polite.
These were my thoughts exactly. Well said.
Damm you can’t win you offer less you’re low balling you offer more you’re hurting the sellers feelings.
This is the craziest take I have ever heard.
@@gilbertoarellano8525it’s not about hurting feelings. It’s about tipping them off to the fact the stuff is worth way more than they are asking for. You’re hurting your chances of closing the deal when they start wondering why you’re offering to pay more. The best option is to just pay what they ask and not make a big deal of it. Not so they don’t feel regret but so they actually close the deal with you asap.
@@iainlee It's true though, that happens all the time. People start getting multiple higher offers like it's an auction and they frequently realize they need to look stuff up and list stuff individually. Not saying that's a bad thing but this dude getting $3,000 in games for $120 is like a once in a 20 year situation. Wildly uncommon, at least in my experience. I typically will end up finding a deal with a console and 10 games, worth $$300-400 or so listed for $200, but this dude's deal is wild.
A little more never hurt anybody, it’s more like a tip I guess. It’s the sellers job? To know what they have and price it as they please. I recently picked up a silver GameCube with a wired oem controller , wave bird with 2 receivers . Def jam vandetta, sonic battle adventure 2, Mario sunshine, NFS, Tony hawk. She wanted $25 she was willing to put it on hold for me even tho she said she got a ton of messages and when I went to pick it up I gave her $50
Ur a sucker
I never feel good about taking advantage of people even if it's their responsibility to do research and find out what their stuff is worth. I also understand that people try to do this for a living to provide for their family, so no hate towards them at all. My heart just won't let me do it. I think Leviticus 25:17 says it best "Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God"
The money comes from knowledge in how much games can sell for. Takes times to learn & gain all that knowledge. Knowledge he had but she didn’t. He paid more than she was asking for so that’s all we can ask for. Good for him for getting that score.
Ed boon has done scorpions voice since the original
Bought my ticket for Saturday and reserved my hotel today. Looking forward to Retrofest. Driving in from Orlando.
Try xyab there know to sponsor youtubers and maby would the event and you. Plus you could get some new replacement parts and accessories to throw in with consoles.
You need to do a parking lot sale to clear out a lot of that upstairs stuff.
I'm sorry but I would have definitely paid 100, if she asked for 100.
If you're going to sell something, it's your responsibility to do research on your product. And if you're the type of person who just wants to get rid of said product, then you're only going to get what you're willing to accept. I would consider that a huge deal!! Plus they put in the effort to clean the cartridges, they earned their profit!
If she brought the games to Rick's store and he paid that much would you feel the same she obviously didn't know games could be worth that much they took advantage of her ignorance
@@nightmarecow3631 Ignorance is bliss
@@nightmarecow3631- In this day and age of information being readily available at the push of several buttons in the convenience of your own home, any ignorant person can educate themselves about anything they have to see if it’s worth something.
Whether she had the foresight to do the research and possibly get more than what she bargained for is ultimately on her. Anyone who knew better could’ve educated her about the potential of getting more than what she was willing to accept, but it’s ultimately on her to know that potential. Any buyer wanting to take advantage of a great deal like that is simply taking advantage of a great deal. There was really no excuse for the seller to get in on a great deal herself given all it took was simple Google research.
I agree with David. Not my job to price another person’s items. If they’re happy with what they’re getting and I’m happy with what I’m paying then I don’t see anything wrong. Especially if I have to put my time and money into coming to you, cleaning and reselling.
@@robertallison3947 not saying they needed to price things just be transparent and tell them better options and if they still wanted to sell then that's great. Also it's not hard to clean games or resale
Retro rick would have asked if she would take 50. He's a pos
I main Pikachu in Smash 64. It was the one I played most and had so much fun playing it with the friends.
he had to clean and test the games, youre taking a risk the games work
Stop just thrashing the items, please. Show some respect.
Will Phoenix Resale be getting an early access pass to your convention and be buying all the handhelds and good condition first party nintendo games from everyone?
I once bought a copy of Ninja Combat for the AES for $75 on Facebook Marketplace. When I got the cart it was unlabeled and when I plugged it in, it didn't work. I assumed I got ripped off but just incase I opened the cart and saw that it was an official PCB. I tried a little harder to clean it and when I plugged it back in I saw that it was Metal Slug (they had listed 3 games that included Metal Slug and Ninja Combat), I was tempted to just keep it but every thing in my collection was either a gift, something from my childhood or something I found out in the wild (ie, something with a story behind it). I figured that the seller had just made a very expensive mistake and the right thing to do was to message them and let them know. Unfortunately whoever they shipped the Ninja Combat to didn't feel the same way (the seller refunded me the $75 and I dropped the Metal Slug off at their house). At least I feel good about sending out some good into the retro community. Still haven't found a copy of Ninja Combat that cheap though :)
Pikachu is the best in Smash 64!
I hope heckin Steve makes a response to your question at the end of the vid
I would do the same as him, I would give them a bit more but when it comes to a score sometimes you gotta hold your tongue
I bought five PS2 games last year for $40. Thinking maybe they were in bad shape with def jam fight for NY in there. Surprise, suprise everything was minty fresh, probably my only good score I'll ever get though, living in rural British Columbia. Oh the clips in your videos are amazing 😊
I would just pay whatever the person was asking for. Even if somethings worth more, they probably wouldn't care that much to be honest. I've sold super expensive games like Hagane for SNES for like $25. I didn't really care about the price at the time.
I am so embarrassed for Rick and whoever that guy is.... Daniel Pesina the voice of Mortal Kombat ?!? Wtf? Rick was never a gamer, smdh. Running a game store about celebrating "nostalgia" and yet thought Daniel Pesina was a Mortal Kombat voice actor. Rick and his workers probably look down on and hate actual gamers. The other video Rick was wearing a Hollywood Hogan shirt, when he has stated numerous times he never a fan and never saw wrestling. It's like these kids wearing Nirvana shirts when they have never heard a single song.
No matter when I buy something from Marketplace, I always ask if they'll go lower.
In this case, I would have just paid the $100 she was asking for and bounced.
I recall 2 year ago buying a sega genesis, i paid the guy around 30 euro. There were some games but i did not check them. Back home browsing trough the games i found.
Sonic 1 and 2 which are not worth that much.
Shinobi 3 Great game and certainly not bad ussual goes for around 40+ here.
Then i get to the bottom of the box the guy putt the lot in.
Hook Never played it but i found on ebay that its a expensive game.
but on the bottom i found castlevania new generation, i was so shocked. Castlevania new generation is a 200 + euro game here in Europe.
So paying 30 euro for a easily 500 euro is lot.
'I've got mouth's to feed'. I'm always wary of people who use that line. People on here saying it's the responsibility of the Seller to know their product and the price. Up to a point. If they are dangerously low balling their own product it is the duty of the buyer to educate them otherwise it's just as good as, at worst, stealing, at best, taking advantage of someone. That's my opinion. So many grifters commenting on here. I'm sure if the roles were reversed and you sold something for a ridiculously low price you would soon be getting lawyered up once you knew how low-balled you had been, crying to your lawyer how the 'nasty person' had taken advantage of you. So have some empathy and practice what you preach.
I would of done $100. If that's what they asking, that's what they getting. No more, no less. It's up to them to do the research to check the value.
Based on that pic. Those games were pretty dirty. Plus they said “only 20 bucks in gas” to check it out. That’s gotta be kinda far then? I drive a civic. Though that’s like a weeks worth of gas lol.
I’m all down to help out and being fair but we get cought up on monetary value a little too much sometimes. Sometimes people just want the stuff out of their house they don’t care how much it sells for hence why they don’t put the effort to find out how much it sells for. Sometimes people know how much it sells for but they don’t want to go through the trouble of selling it. We see this every week on some form or another. Value is at times subjective and relative. I think it’s cool he gave her more but I also wouldn’t have hold it against him if he didn’t. It is nice to be nice though
I would have likely given the 100 she was asking for. I feel like people should not be rewarded for their lack of research/effort in a sale.
They posted it they had the opportunity to look up everything if they wanted to. I would’ve taken it for the offering price which is amazing deal and that’s why we do this.
considering the work the put into cleaning the games , knowing their worth + the time and gas money to pick them up. I'd pay 250$, unless you knew they would spend it unwisely!
I would have given her 120 first off collecting is expensive if I can get pieces for my collection for cheap I will second off I wouldn't be selling anything and making an insane profit soi wouldn't feel bad
Shopping cart theory. Tells you more than you'll ever need to know about his character, as well as all the commenters defending him paying that little to someone who very clearly didn't know what they had. Do better, be better.
Smash 64 main is Fox. No one is better except MAYBE a good Falcon; no ifs, ands, or buts.
Epic GGG-unit scores!!!! I would have given wot she asked for and run 🏃!!!!😂epic well done 👍
I live in the UK and when it's bootsale season if I'm out hunting toys then I pay what's asked of me if I see it fair , altho if I go to buy something and it's a child selling to buy more toys then I have no problems with giving extra , at the end of the day it's a life lesson they learn and it's obvious to me if the parent is letting the child price and sell their items then they are already off to a good start😊, games are hard as our second hand stores now charge a flat £10 rate in anything mainstream Nintendo even if its essential worth pounds , they now employ people to ebay stuff so rarely does a gem slip thru the cracks , unfortunate for me yes but I've had plenty of happy years hunting before the change 😊
I always pay the asking price if its a good deal. If they came up with that number, there is no shame in accepting it. Now if you lowball someone with a low offer or counter offer then you are a scum bag...lol
Pay them the asking price. Reap the low buy cost of the games and enjoy them. Or reap the rewards
So I would pay 100 bucks without a dought but I do this ... if I see a marketplace posting like that but cant get to it then I send the person all the gameye pricing and make sure the next guy don't get the deal
I found a cib gameboy game while looking through a lady’s collection. She had no idea it was worth 2-300$; ended up giving her about 150 after letting her know it was worth more than the $10 she was asking
I guess because I do market research a lot in general I would’ve probably given her a hundred lol. I mean she said 100 I would’ve been like bet we will do a hundred lol.😊
This shop looks more like a fantasy shop then a business. I always wonder if it would survive without the youtube money.
$120 was fair. I would have giving her $100 and keep it pushing!
Why would you give more?
Michael looks like SKEETER from Doug
I collect comics . It's so easy to buy anything these days and ahed but I like to find in the wild at estate farm sale or a garage sale in middle of nowhere. I collect for myself and like putting a good story to purchase rather just sayin i bough on ebay
You have to resell stuff...that takes time and the right buyer. Some people would rather the quick buck then do all of that. That said, there is a big difference in games vs some old lady not realizing her late husband car was worth millions in terms of robbery.
Do you have an online store? If your sitting on so product why not sell online too? I’m sure you have items that I would love to buy but can’t because I can’t shop in person at your store.
You pay asking price , if you’re inclined to give a little more , that’s up to you .
I would of gave her 200 because just because she seemed like a cool person and there were really good games in that tub.
I'd say $80 jk I'd give a little more might lead to more or a friend or family member w games
I was almost always Fox on Smash Bros 64. Other than that I liked Kirby and Mario.
If you pay the asking price there is no debate. Especially when you pay extra...
If this guy had a delivery service to the UK I'd buy a shit load from here 👍
I'm of the mind that if you pay what they want, then it's fair. Sometimes you win and some times you lose so, so take the wins when you can and mouths to feed is as good a reason as any.
