    I just watched his video where he bought all the Pokémon GBA and DS games and the N64 bundle. They actually had 2 N64s that those kids sold to him for a total of $30 with an expansion pak inside one and all the cables and a few controllers. He got that entire handheld collection plus a PS2 and an Xbox 360 for a grand total of $250. There were actually 2 Pokémon Emeralds and two manuals in mint condition plus a ton of other stuff. Altogether, I would say he’s probably gonna make well over $1,000 off of all that. She asked for $400 originally which is what he should have payed if not more. But he wanted to get it for cheaper anyway even though he’s probably gonna triple or even quadruple the profit. This guy is the scummiest.

      Yeah in that situation when people don't know what they have and ask you to not take advantage you really should be real with them. Even if you don't want to pay a lot for it, you should tell them an estimate of what you think its all worth and then tell them what you would personally be willing to pay. If they accept that then great for you. Don't play dumb and act like you know nothing about the stuffs value when someone asks you to be honest. These resellers also need to quit lying to people telling them something is for their collection when they fully intend to resell it. They only do it to try and get a better price and its scummy behavior. It ruins it for collectors like me who are honestly looking to find good deals and add things to my collection.

    • @steviefreakinc
      @steviefreakinc  Рік тому +6

      @@valak0284 Yeah dude the lying is a big part of the scheme. Another thing too is that it’s publicly put online for everyone to see including the person getting ripped off. So essentially when you lie to someone about something, if they see your video where you ripped them off, you’ll lose them as a source forever so it’s pretty much a bad idea from a business standpoint in addition to a bad idea in general.

      ​​@@valak0284I rarely sell or trade toys after 20+ years of toy collecting, but I used to grab extras here and there, and sell it at cost on toy forums that I frequent when I was younger.
      I used to tell the buyer that I have this rare figure for awhile and I don't want to be taken advantage of, so don't flip it. I stopped doing it for two reasons: when I realized the people buying my shit at retail after being discontinued for years were people who just joined the forum for the toy - they disappeared right after. For reason #2, an online former friend said that I have no right to say that since once they paid, they can do whatever they want with it. Fuck that! With that logic, I don't have to sell a discontinued 2000 toy that is rare retail price in 2010. I also didn't follow through in getting fucked in the metaphorical ass by him for selling a $50 Street Fighter II Ken toy for $5 at the time. He was pissed.
      Now, I sell a little bit cheaper than market value, but I gave my cousins and IRL friends the same deal I did on toy forums years ago. At least, I know they won't fuck me in the ass.

    It's really low when resellers make videos bragging about ripping off kids. Those kids probably don't understand market prices for games and only have an idea of how much money they are getting for selling something compares to the small amount of money they get for allowance from their parents. So they might think it is cool to have more money than they normally would have, but they don't realize that they could be getting a lot more money from selling their games to someone who isn't a sleazy reseller. People ripping off children used to be something you would see in works of fiction to depict a character as being some over-the-top villain who got a thrill out of being cruel, but now there are people bragging about doing that on the internet as if it were something to be proud of.

And man they are trashing people without any any respect. These fliper tubers are making deals like hell. Lowballing, pour people for a few bucks. If you do it off the grid you can say hey,… in a selfish trashbag, but they record this on youtube. Blows my mind man,… also crazy in the US people are going crazy for game collecting. In Belgium people also collect but not so much as in the US. We dont have that here, some games are valuable but most are just some few Euro’s of value. Anyway, nice channel dude❤

    • @steviefreakinc
      @steviefreakinc  Рік тому

      I agree to an extent. If the game is way overpriced in general, I think you should take a small hit just to help bring the cost down overall. But this is also asking people to make less money for something and that is a insane idea for most. For example. DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 goes for $200. Let's say you're not a reseller but the original owner. You could totally sell it for $175 and be alright. But you would miss out on that $25. Meanwhile if you did take $175, you just lowered the price of the game by $25 for the market overall. Since most resellers will follow the recent sold price on Ebay. And Pricecharting sources its value from Ebay so it could drop the cost there too.
