Sounds like the dude was trying the old-school tactic "Act like I love the game as much as you" and see if you shell out more $$$ for it.
That is why I NEVER, EVER and I mean EVER! show a seller how much I want something, Soon as they know how bad you want it they take advantage of you and your $$$.
@@RollerCoasteraddict I was just coming in to day the same thing.. He probably checked comps and try to do exactly what you said he was trying to do.
I’m there I’m on Vacation
@@Htl3648 hey man I'll buy from you
I remember collecting 20+ years ago and most of these games would barely break $10, some would be as little as $2 or $3.
Could say that about almost anything that old that has become valuable.
"Are you still selling this game"
"This game, right here on the table with a price on it? NoT fOr SaLe"
I can understand people changing their mind sometimes but bringing it to sell and then having someone giving you the full amount you're asking for and THEN changing your mind is crazy to me!
People just like showing off in the community
Yeah but I believe you have the right to change your mind. Sucks and kinda of shity of the dude. But I’ve pulled stuff off my table before but I usually wait till the person passes on the item before pulling off the table. It’s just proper etiquette. And he still left it on his table, just a bit much .
@@ericblair4921 I would think that you would be pretty disrespected as a business when people offer you that much money for stuff and you're still giving people a hard time.
Probably was fake. Saw the camera and got cold feet
Seeing these kinds of prices makes me glad we have emulation
Amen to that. The prices are effing crazy.
@@themegaman91965 As far as collectables go these prices are normal. Emulators are cool but if you want the real thing you have to put out the money. Not to mention those prices are a few hours/day of work for some and 2 weeks for others. It is very relative
@@commentresurrection1841 $2500 for a Cart Only is not normal. That game is a special case.
@@KingStr0ng Yes I own the game and have owned 2 others in the last 20 years. When I said prices are normal I was referring to the piles of other games he was showing with prices. There are more expensive games out there but this is a top 3 for the console.
@@commentresurrection1841 So true but emulaters & catridges are Almost the same thing when it comes to playing a game.
You and Gabbo are like the only UA-camrs I see who go big and are not afraid to spend money at conventions. Which is good because it makes good content
Phoenix resale does at the end when he knows no one wants to pack up LMAO
@@SnowQuaker That's pretty smart if you're tryna buy in bulk to resell.
I think I saw someone else mention it but what if the Little Samson was fake? He doesn't even want to sell it to you " a little high"? That seems suspicious. I don't know many people that would turn down someone willing to pay their asking price, especially that kind of money for a video game. I think he knew who you were and did not want to risk his reputation. Just a thought.
Yeah but the game looked legit 100% and specially that clean, so...
I literally thought the same exact thing. It's a fake and he's just using it as a draw to get people to his table. If it was a real Sampson I doubt he would have just let it sit out like that. He would have had it under lock and key.
No way any buyer of such would do so without poppin' those screws first and knowing what to look for...
@@AdeptScholar this guy doesn’t seem to pop any screws on anything and not much of a negotiator.
What I thought as well, also why would a 2500$ game be just sitting there .
Don’t bring it if you don’t want to sell it. Probably hoping for a crazy offer above asking. Some lovely NES titles to look out for in this one ✌️
^ This
I wouldn't deal with that re seller 🤮
Man it's so weird because we had the same experience with a few vendors at SoCal. They literally brought games that they just wanted to display; they wouldn't sell them! Doesn't make sense to me...other booths just priced them ridiculously high so that no one would buy them. I guess they are just traffic drivers?
Whenever he does get Little Samson, he definitely needs to open it up to make sure it’s real
Yes he does. I used to have Little samson, like 20+ years ago, i was like 11 years old back then, and i was stupid enouth to sell my entire collection of 100+ games away for 50 Euros. I had shit like Megaman 1-2-3-4-5-6 . Little samson. Flintstones suprise at dinosaur peak and other expensive shit. Where i live, Flintstones suprise at dinosaur peak alone is like 800 dollars/-800 euros, sometimes even more.
Retro Rick And The Gang Back At The Expos/Conventions Showing Us How It Can Be Done Much Love Get Those Games All Things Will Work Out Nice A Gabbo Cameo Appearance Amazing Pickups As Always
I feel like something fishy was going on with that seller - as others have said, why would you just have a $2,500 NES game hanging out in a bin with some $50-75 dollar titles? Probably saw that you were filming, and didn't want to get busted. I'm assuming it may have been a fake.
I thought that normally high dollar games are in a display case and are front and centre of the display.
@@stevewhitehouse9532 yes that’s how it is at my local retro game conventions, one guy has had shanta in his big case the last few times
i agree 100% i think same when i see he pull out game from that bin
Either that or he was discriminating against Rick because he's a reseller. People do that sometimes and then they think that they're high-and-mighty for doing it. They're really just hurting their own profits.💀 Missed out on $2500.
@@KingStr0ng so a reseller... I've discovered this channel just right now and I'm done. I hate those guys.
I love watching you go for a full collection. Maybe someday myself . . .
another nice video and more games to add to your collection...as per Little Samson, i agree with you that they should not have it out if they don't want to sell it.
Opportunity is blessing and not a guarantee. It fades away quick and it never comes back
Sweet baby Jesus. An episode on just NES. Man you had me hooked. And on top of it a lot of heavy hitter. Great pickups as always. Space shuttle launch is such a great game but love that blue on the cover. Man you can’t be mad at the man that didn’t want to sell little Sampson. That’s definitely a grail and game you don’t see. Yes he had it out on display but it’s more of a flex. As always Retro great content. Always 🔥🔥🔥
If it's on the table with a price tag on it he shoulda sold it. If he took it off the table and changed his mind, ain't nothin wrong with that
Shout out to the dood wearing a Max shirt at 12:31
I remember Little Samson being around 600-800 and thinking "there's no way that will get higher"...Holy balls that's absurd for a loose cart. I would never personally sell something like that which just keeps jumping in value but to renege on a sale is shitty.
Oh wow I caught this video as it came out! Awesome.
Been subbed since under 10k, the growth!
Nice additions to the collection Rick!
I tapped out at 720 licensed / unlicensed. I can't even fathom trying to collect for the NES set in 2022. The 25-30 most expensive are worth more than all the others combined. That becomes even more apparent towards the end. Good luck.
It hurts me everyday knowing I owned little Samson and never had an idea what it’s value was. I got that game when I was 9 from my dad who purchased it for 50 cents at a garage sale. Played that game so much that I could speed run it under an hour and was so proud of myself. I later sold the game so I could get the down payment on my house. Let it go for 10 dollars and someone out there got it at the greatest price ever. Also I don’t like when people change their mind or continue to list it without actually wanting to sell it. I have had several occasions where people have changed their mind the day of and it annoys me. I once drove an hour to meet someone and he messaged me right as I get to the meet up spot and says sorry I don’t want to sell it anymore. I was so mad because I now had to drive an hour back home with nothing. I actually recently made time to meet someone for something else and we had agreed to meet and also agreed to notify each other of anything changed. Called him to make sure we where good before leaving home and he lets me know he forgot and no longer wants to make time to meet as he just moved and doesn’t have time. Didn’t even give me a chance to respond and then hung up on me.
.10 buy sold for $10 thats a huge win
A lesson to be learned, never sell anything if u havent lookt up what the stuff is going for, maybe it was worth less when u sold it, but it sure as hell was worth more than 10 dollars. I done stupid shit like this myself, i sold off my entire nes collection of like 100+ games, for 50 fking Euros when i was like 11, 20+ years ago. My "flintstones suprise at dinosaur peak" alone wich the collection had, is worth alone more than 800Euro where i live, today. I estimate that the collection i sold would be worth around 5000-7000 Euro today, and i let it go for 50 Euro.
@@dobbylollol yea sadly we where poor so we didn’t have internet. I didn’t have a computer till I graduated high school which was when we finally got internet.
Always good to see you Rick. Been a while.
Some great finds! I think the end is the best though with you taking the entire condiment counter. I know it's not used but it's still a great aesthetic.
I’m 24 games away but there’s nine I’m conceding. Stadium Events, Hot Slots, Peek a Boo Poker, Bubble Bath Babes, Cheetahmen II, the three NCW carts, and the gold Duck Tales. Power Blade 2 is the biggest title I still need.
always a pleasure when Gabbo hits the screen
Rick, that Game Genie jacket is 🔥 man. My favorite system iscthe Nes, I'm an amateur, I only have about 60 Nes games lol😀. Getting the chance to buy Little Samson is amazing, too bad he changed his mind. That dude realized that sellers remorse would have been epic. I can see why you were a little upset, we all felt your pain, I hope you have the opportunity to purchase it again soon.
I love to see the retro games at a convention thank you for sharing that with me I was curious the end theme song was that from super Nintendo's bubsy
I bought pocky and Rocky 2 and space megaforce from the little samson seller at that same convention. I used the cash and bundle technique but it was still a super hard to negotiate with him. I also took a pic with you lol. ✌🏻
Whomp Em is the bomb. Destiny of an Emperor is very underrated. Shadow of the Ninja is also a very very good platformer. Great pick ups Rick.
that vendor just wanted to flex that he had one of the rarest NES games. If it's on the table then it's on the menu. take my money already.
A lot of videogamez for sure! Great video as usual
There is nothing wrong to change your mind before it is finalized, this kind of things happens daily.
Ikr , he was right to do it ... there was the game for you at a price of 2500$ , you had the chance to buy it. Tomorrow is another day , maybe someone already bought it or the seller changes his mind to hold it. ( the price will never go lower but higher for sure) Hesitation is defeat ! :D
Wow what a epic episode Rick. I have some of those games and others I'm still looking for.
Most collectors don't believe another collector has a rare game until they see it.
Sounds like Gabbo use the brown card discount at the convention.
To think I have all these games in roms (.nes) format in my Mesen v0.9.9 emulator and here you were willing to buy 1 NES game for $2.500. That's insane.
It's all about collecting the original game being extremely rare, not about playing the game.
Lots of possibilities. He wanted it for a show piece to attract attention to his booth to get more sales for his other games. He did want to sell it but not until the end. Or he had it on hold for someone but wanted to showcase it still until the end. Or he did want to sell it but didn't want to sell it to a youtuber or reseller for some reason.
Yes i agree. I mean if someone changes there mind it just kinda is how it is.
It makes no sense having it in those bins?
@@Playerz714 Yeah, you're not really showcasing it in a bin.
The dude was also a reseller himself so he knew damn well what he was doing
@@JosephGualtieri word of mouth, it doesnt have to be in a glass case for it to get around you have a super rare game, people will come to check it out and hopefully buy other things from you
In 2005 I started collecting NES games all over again. I bought a cib Bucky O’Hare with all the ads in the box for 8 dollars. I bought it because I never see it in stores. Now it is worth a lot more lol in 2014 I bought Little Samson for 1000 dollars.
Watching these convention pick ups is like crack! I need more!!
I really like your show it inspires me. I started reselling because of you thank you for your lessons
EXCELLENT EPISODE! FANTASTIC!
AND YES I AM YELLING
Hey, Retro Rick! I am a HUGE fan of this channel! I love the content twice a week!
However, I have a suggestion for you for a future series. Since you have the complete North American GameCube Collection you bought from RetroWolf88, you should make a complete collection of North American PlayStation 1 OR 2 games.
love that nba jam shirt you have i picked up a project 4 player nba jam arcade for $40 and it’s only missing the marquee and the monitor but i have all the other parts also been watching for a long time love your videos also gonna start posting arcade videos and hunting for games soon keep up good work videos make the day better
We gotta hunt for some NES at SEGE together! Jared and I are always collecting some awesomeNES! 🤘
I remember playing some of them games when I was a kid I used to call them Nintendo Tapes lol
This is my first retro Rick video and to be honest I subscribed for the surge
Hahahaha amazing! Welcome my friend!
whomp em was one of my favorite games growing up!
Hard to see my personal Holy grail (12:17 sealed Donkey Kong 64 N64 bundle) just sitting there. One day!
I call repro on the Samson. There is no way it would just be shrink wrapped and tossed in with a $0.50 ice climber filled rubbermaid bin. He didn't wawt to sell it to you because he knew you would know and expose him for selling fakes. Even a beat up Samson would be in a game case within a locked glass case.
Amazing Gear Genie Jacket Dude
My question is how is the $2500 game just out in the open like that?
It's probably fake
I'm glad I completed the NES set (minus SE) a year or so ago... For some perspective in October of 2020 I paid $1,500 for Little Samson from a game store in my area. It was the last expensive game (minus SE) that I needed.
I'm thinking that's what the guy does for fun.He sets up a booth of rare NES games, then refuses to sell them for his own twisted pleasure.
Nah he just aint tryimg to have him buy cheap then re sell on what not
I think it could be more of someone knows what they have is rare and someone else is trying to get a good deal on it and there's nothing wrong with that I just know there's people out there that will get mad and refuse to sell it to them. I've seen it first hand at conventions over the years
Testing the waters maybe see what offers he has
some real female psychology you just pulled there
Another great video !
The guy with little Sampson still should have told u he changed his mind when it was for sale originally and sold u something else to make it right
it was fun, thanks for having master Rick
I knew I should have bought all those games at the Goodwill back in the day when they were 3 to 5 bucks.
Love the Game Genie jacket
i think normally it would be not so nice go back on your deal when selling a nes but in the case of little samson it is so rare it makes sense to change your mind on selling something so valuable .
5:14 "we have a limited budget right now" ...Werent you just about to drop $2500 on Samson??? lol
He probably sold enough throughout the weekend where he felt less needful of the sale and got a lot of interest and thought the price could go up.
I seen my clip where I found Little Samson, was a good day.
EPIC DAY🔥🔥🔥
I had a similar thing happen to me with an Atari Jaguar Cd unit. The guy was forcing the base unit and some games as a bundle purchase and even when I claimed I would buy it, he didn’t want to sell it. It is merely there to show off. Fine with me. Found a working Cd Unit on Ebay in the box for half the price.
I made a deal through email to buy a bunch of SNES games. Wild Guns being one of them. The guy figured it was way more. I think over a 100. And he got another offer. I offered him 20 which was less than the other guy apparently. He ended up doing the deal. Nice guy
Just my personal opinion, I think he just didn't want to sell it to YOU. I'm not attempting to justify the action/s, but that's what it seemed like.
My thoughts exactly.. think he decided to be the guy to not sell retro rick a grail!
Congratulations on finding the games that you were able to find.
Rick has, as my dad would call it, "the gift of GAB". My gawd, dude could charm a washing machine! I'd be afraid if he came near my booth
Remember borrowing Little Samson from my neighbor. Great game, but would never thought the value would skyrocket like that.
That Samson was out there to draw attention to his booth. Never had any intent to sell. Threw out a number he thought you wouldn’t bite on.
As others have said, it's weird that he had an expensive game mixed in with some lower price ones.
“I have a limited budget.” Wants to pay $2500 for one game. Lol.
In September 2019, I paid $2500 for a complete in box Little Samson in very good condition on eBay…right before eBay started charging tax in California. My friends said I was crazy, but look now…it goes for $2500 loose! I am never selling my cib Little Samson.
My friends also said I was crazy when I bought Panzer Dragoon Saga in 2001 for $100. Now it’s worth $1200-$1500. I am never selling my Panzer either.
Yo I was curious what kind of camera you use for these kinds of videos
It probably means he is still more collector than seller :) and you never know he might have brought it just in case because at the beginning he needed the money, but did good first day, and doesn't have to sell this one which he wanted to keep .
you’re gonna find Little Samson again somewhere and get a killer deal on it, I think it happened for a reason!
Mistakes happen sometimes with stock, but he should have pulled it the first time you brought it up. One of the worst experiences I ever had a comic con was when the guy decided that every comic I tried to negotiate with him on was no longer for sale.
I’ve had that happen before. Very frustrating. Was at San Diego ComicCon when comics were the thing (late 80s).
Loving that guy's donkey kong shirt . And I must be using the wrong what not because the time I downloaded it in the link on ur channel there was absolutely nothing vintage on what not no games no toys no lunch boxes nothing but freaking funko pops wich I'm not into anymore
Stack always has the famicom adapter I’m pretty sure
Great video!
I once changed my mind selling my NES collection including Little Samson. I was not malintentionne, it's just that the enthusiasm surrounding my collection made me doubt that I should sell it.
I love that you pay what everyone else will pay.... not just the popular UA-camrs price!
Hello my friend from Mexico
I think he researched the game after day 1, and likely thought he could get more for it off eBay or something.
I mean is that bad? I understand the frustration when someone changes their mind, but also you gotta understand that it's not that easy to part ways from holy grails that are that hard to find.
Would he really get more on eBay after their ridiculous fees?
@@carlosaponte2349 it’s not bad but then he should pull it from the shelves and just say he sold it or something, it sounded like he left out on the table
@@soulden77 yes because it’s selling for more
He'd have to pay around 15% in fees and pay taxes for selling it on ebay
That’s gotta be the first time I’ve heard they were interested in that Wolverine game. 😂
Wizards and Warriors for NES was awesome game.
When I started collecting games, a complete set back then was CIB and not a complete set with carts...
I have Little Samson right next to me (but Pal Version). Dont know if i`m allowed to sell it, because my brother owns it but... what would you give for it? Its the Cartridge + Manual, no Box.
Dudes a goof. Seems like he’s there just to show off his stuff like it’s his only time to get some shine
Nes has alot of childhood classics I forgot
I don’t blame him for NOT selling it to YOU that glorifies flipping video-games for profit
I picked up Little Samson recently for $1800, talked them down from $2000. They also had Jetsons and I got $150 off that too. Ended up with both games for $2100
Damn this Retro Heaven *AND* Hell at the same time
Cleaned up today Rick🙌🏼 big spender
This is why I’m priced out of NES now. When I got my Little Samson, top dollar was $500. There’s no way I could get one now.
I was born in 86. I think now everyone 30 and up finally making money and are buying these nostalgic relics
Of course. NES isn’t as hot as it was, the rare/first party stuff will remain hot, but used to you could get NES stuff for a dime a dozen, then the market exploded. Then SNES was hot. N64 was hot for a bit, GameCube is the hotness right now, wii will be next
It's not really negotiating if you ask, "what's your best" they give you their "best" and you just say ok. Gotta go for that extra $5 off.
