I remember when CEX used to have a ton of games like this, or even Gamestation before that, before GAME closed them down, i miss those days where you could go down to the high street, and get a couple of rare finds, even going back to original playstation.
Love the Gamecube section. I don't care what people say, the Gamecube is one of my favorite Nintendo systems of all time. So many great games and FANTASIC graphics for its time. I'm glad you guys have been expanding the Gamecube section. Keep it up! You guys also definitely picked up some bangers in that trade. For me, those 3 TMNT games alone would've made it all worthwhile for the love/personal value.
Rick, for old times sake, you should do a short series of goodwill and flea market hunting in 2024 featuring your old hunting crew. I watch and rewatch all your hunting videos as asmr videos. The whispering, the crunching of plastic, scooting of boxes. It's all very soothing. Anyway, I appreciate you reading my suggestion! Thanks for all the content.
I can confirm, trying to sell new (PC) games is basically impossible. You receive maybe a $3-$4 off retail price from your wholesaler, and people only want the game it seems the opening weekend it comes out. So then a couple weeks later, you end up having to sell the $59.95 game (that cost you $56.27 say) for $39.95 just to not completely lose $56. Then many times even then everyone who wants the game has already bought it, so it just sits on your shelf for a year and finally you sell it for $10. Not only that, but you have to buy like $1500 of products to get free shipping, so as Rick said, many times if you average out shipping on 6-8 games you might break even *if* you sell them all for full retail. Plus usually, games will be on back order and the big stores get them opening weekend and you won't even get them at all.
As a book collector I would say your store is fine. Often the books come from Mom and Pop stores from around the world. If they can keep the doors open in this time it's a good sign. At the higher end and rarer niche the books market is super healthy right now. I've pick up a few in the dip (last 2 years) but now there is no dip or rarer for bargains. So I can say it has been a good investment too but I don't plan on selling them
Guys I love pawn stars and gaming, so this is the best channel on youtube for me. Actually, I wish there was a live camera in your store so we can pop in and see what's up anytime.
Shout out to your Montgomery bud. I’m from Troy and used to go to Electronics Boutique and Software Etc all the time at the Montgomery Mall back in the late 80s/early 90s before it went downhill.
Yo Rick I know how much you love TMNT are you going to Northwest Arkansas comic con. The OG Turtle gang,shredder, bebop and rocksteady and splinter are all going to be there.
When will you guys put together an option for buying items seen in your videos? Some can't travel cross country but would love to support the store and our addiction. Any chance you do Paypal over the phone orders ?
Dear Santa, I've been good most of the year, just ask my wife. All I want is ONE thing. Just. One. Thing. PLEASE bring me Chrono Trigger for snes. I'll leave you milk and cookies, and beer and medicinal Marijuana. Your choice. Love your believer, Justin
Now are you an officially authorized Nintendo repair technician or just some guy who got a cool neon sign? I don’t wanna void the factory warranty on the NES I got in 1987, you think it's still covered?
Whats day is it? The 11th? No worries this video will come out in 11 more days. This hkw crazy things are. Keep up the great work Rick and your Morty minions
4:45 some Ducktales the ps3 version would ship without a disk & instead had a digital code to download the game. ua-cam.com/video/hE8RgegCJ4o/v-deo.html

Definitely best console imo.
There has been SO much content lately and I am here for it
So glad you are enjoying it! We are all caught up on videos and are current...yes!!!!
You call this content?
Holy moly! I know that John! We performed in Eternity House together back in the day. I haven't seen him in at least 15 years. He is a great guy!
no way...that is wild!!!

The reason I stopped donating to those places. Re sellers are the scum of the world.

The other day I found A Boy and His Blob on NES in my closet. It’s probably not worth much but it’s one of my favorites
thats pretty rad!

Pretty rare you see the sleeves. The store is looking good. Keep up on improving!
Thank you so much my friend...we are really liking how it is coming along!
GameCube is my top priority in collecting. I wish there were more GameCube sections like yours
12-22-23 update, I just went shopping for the wife at the last minute as I do every year. Hit the local game store, she'll be happy!
heck yes...hoping she loves her gift!
love the new setup in the shop, planning a trip to visit the shop from Northern WI
come on! Would love to have you out!
Got really excited for a second cause I thought Rick was wearing a Hartford Whalers cap, but it was only Nike
Haven't even put up the Christmas tree yet
oh dang you behind hahaha
Retro can't help but feed the beast 😂 no manners. no subtlety. You're not here to make a friend you're here to make a sale.
I rented that tips and tricks vhs so many times!
no way...that is amazing!
Thanks for making a video during a busy time.
of course...hope you enjoyed it!

We only have 1 SpongeBob game
Proceeds to pull another one out of the box a minute later 😂
We probably worked at hibbett sports around the same time. Of course me in Heber springs. We would call the Conway store a lot though.
He must of traded in a Little Sansom for all those games.
Shout out to your Montgomery bud. I’m from Troy and used to go to Electronics Boutique and Software Etc all the time at the Montgomery Mall back in the late 80s/early 90s before it went downhill.
How isn’t this a show on A&E already
Speaking of conventions, i hope you're coming back out to Phoenix for Game On. They moved it from August to March.
oh dang...ya i prob wont be able to make that one
@@retroricksgamepoint dang. Apparently I missed y'all by one day last time lol
@@FlyinMunky we shall see, id love to go again if possible
@@retroricksgamepoint That'd be awesome! Hope to see you there. I'm looking into going to Retropalooza next year as well
What was the game all that was traded for?
Welcome to Clickbait Rick. Riff def didn't edit this episode as he'd never not tell us.
That's a nice Toys R Us customer pick up sign!
5:49 I ain’t nevah seen so many horizontal lines! 😵💫
i dizzy too
What was the $1500 game ?
Pokémon Box on GameCube
Animal Crossing
Wanted the game
Retro Rick and his new boyfriend are becoming such clickbaiters. I miss the flea market and 10dollar collection Rick...
Rickory traded Panzar Dragoon Saga.
Hey Rick.......you need to make a website so people like me and my wife can shop at your place from Pittsburgh pa....
If The RETRO RICK, App Existed...!!! I Would Download It..!!💯🎮💯!
were working on it!
@@benjamincastleman8580 haha thanks for the support!
Awesome as always 👏 merry xmas!
merry xmas at retrorick and team 🎅👍
GameStop also price matches lol. I bought Madden last year for 25 bucks because of a online sale
spoiler it was for Duke Nukem Forever on PS3, the best game of all time
Yo Rick I know how much you love TMNT are you going to Northwest Arkansas comic con. The OG Turtle gang,shredder, bebop and rocksteady and splinter are all going to be there.
yo, love the gameboy stand in the shop.
Not the 1776 shirt lol
Probably traded the Flintstones surprise at dinosaur peak for that.
And now I own that copy of wave race Adam was holding.
the flintstones the suprise at dinosaur peak for the nes
Dude did anyone notice or can agree that Retro Rick & Caleb are on MeatCanyons last animated video!!?
When will you guys put together an option for buying items seen in your videos? Some can't travel cross country but would love to support the store and our addiction. Any chance you do Paypal over the phone orders ?
For Everyone that read this Happy Holidays
you as well my friend!
@@retroricksgamepoint thanks Rick
I missed what game was sold for that box of games?!
They literally never said. Clickbait bullshit video
Rick, I think you should reconsider the color of your console wall mount. Its black.
Loved this episode! War Eagle!!!
Don't look like that when someone mentions Alabama bc I think the same thing about where you live 😂💯💯
Dear Santa,
I've been good most of the year, just ask my wife. All I want is ONE thing. Just. One. Thing. PLEASE bring me Chrono Trigger for snes. I'll leave you milk and cookies, and beer and medicinal Marijuana. Your choice.
Love your believer,
Justin
Hasn't Lego been using the never stop playing thing for like years?
Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND!
Rick has at least 5 staff working. I'm surprised a retro games store has such a turn over.
Love the gamecube I still play my gamecube just got paper mario love it
Gonna guess Pokémon Box is the traded game.
we shall see.....
Rick, how close are you to the full NES set? How many do you have left?
Rick! You’re seriously one of my favorite channels. Thank you so much for the amazing content. My roommates and I watch you religiously. 😊
What was the one game?
I rewatched the episode and still didn’t see it.
Well what the the $1500 game you traded...I missed it or was it some kinda Indiana Jones???
Richard, love the new setup. Much more shoppable now.
Fun question for Retro Rick and the team. If you could take a cross country road trip with one video game character, who would it be?
Sounds like a pixel game squad podcast question to me
snorlax..i like a nice quiet drive
@@PoKeMoNrUlEz91 haha really does
Don’t want to sound cliche but I would go with Mario might get some green tunnel short cuts.
Mario or Sonic. Depending on our route, the Contra guys. Lol
How come you don’t have an online website, it would be easier for people to buy from a far. Like NY or DE
cool 1776 shirt, you guys gonna start wearing maga hats and never surrender shirts with trumps mugshot on it?
Hey, is that Rush N Attack poster for sale?
I’m guessing it was Pokémon Box for GameCube?
1:56 RICK is that guy from illinois? Istg i sold him pokemon cards b4
mike rocking the hodgetwins merch!!
Rick can I buy a jacket? 😁 Love the logo so much. Ship to Scotland I'll cover it 🙏 love the new video btw
If you watch Caleb’s newest video you can see what game it is 🤭
What is that VCR?
I NEED that.
so what was the game?
This channel is inspiring me to open my own store... maybe one day
I'd say don't. It's a tough market. Maybe online.
Shout out to Auburn! WDE
boooooo hahaha
Somebody’s a Hodgetwins fan…
Now are you an officially authorized Nintendo repair technician or just some guy who got a cool neon sign? I don’t wanna void the factory warranty on the NES I got in 1987, you think it's still covered?
bro I need the ssx tricky gamecube
"A gold bar"^^
Had to have been Pokémon Box he traded for
That Nike hat is not you my guy… lol
All that and you didn't even trade a game just a storage device
we shall see...
I forgot about hoops that game was legit.
My personal thought though is probably not needed. Dabbling into too much stuff.
Should be Retro and Current.
put me down for two tickets
Rental games
Whats day is it? The 11th? No worries this video will come out in 11 more days. This hkw crazy things are.
Keep up the great work Rick and your Morty minions
4:45 some Ducktales the ps3 version would ship without a disk & instead had a digital code to download the game. ua-cam.com/video/hE8RgegCJ4o/v-deo.html
Im sure his prices suck.
Can you make Bits this channel’s profile pic?
umm watched the video twice... did i miss the game that was traded???
That 1776 shirt is a We The People holsters shirt. Got the same in white. Heck yeah!!
thanks for the info!
Paradox Riff
Little Sampson?
hmmm good guess!
Retro wolf 🐺 is jealous of you. He said on his live stream he didn't give a **** about you or anyone else on UA-cam
Was she regarded?
You should have more subscribers
Kinda lame you buy out Pokemon GameStop
Earth bound ?
Epic!
thank you my friend!
LETS GOOOOO
hello my friend!!
You're not a "small mom & pop shop" nice try tho.
Grow out your hair more and throw on a Cubs hat and you'll look like Jay from the Game Chasers.
Hello retro rick
hello! Hope you are well!
Thanks for the clickbait, getting tired of this style of video
