This was the video game purchase of a lifetime! Thank you Matt (Retrowolf88) for the amazing deal on this collection. Make sure to go show some support to Matt and his channel! ua-cam.com/users/RetroWolf88
Thank you as well Rick!
@@RetroWolf88 what kind of business you starting??
@@gabe9346 Photography and Videography with a start in Real Estate and adding more services as I go along
@@RetroWolf88 Nice! Plenty of that business to go around right now
Where did you get the Turbo Man T-shirt?
Take good care of it for me Rick! So many memories I have built over the last 4 to 5 years centered around that collection 😢
damn 20k for thee lot :(
All to be resold.
And now to watch Ricks point of view!
Been ripped off here let's be honest
Damn bro you got ripped off it's going to be flipped lmao
Pheonix Resale: I'm gonna start building a GC collection 1 game at a time
Retro Rick: I bought everygame all at once
That poor little gamecube gambit
Best comment ever lol
Phoenix resale: Gamecube Gambit
Retro Rick: Gamecube Apocalypse
gamecube gambit speedrun
Phoenix did say he could go out and buy it all, but wanted the hunt. Keep in mind it helps him making content + the resell to acquire more funds. I’m sure there are more collections for sale .. for the right price.
I've bought and sold the entire GameCube collection and trust me getting rid of all that stuff for the prices it sells for now was a lot more exciting than having any of those games sitting around.
This is a really smart move by RetroWolf88, sell everything while its at an all time high in terms of price, start a business and then have the thrill of the hunt to start a collection from scratch. Awesome stuff
Thanks man! I am definitely looking forward to the hunt again!
How do you know the market is at an all time high? Been hearing that for ten years
I mean I bought a bagel today but I guess you win
Epic!! You should do a series where you play games you've never played before! That'd be really fun to watch and now you have an endless supply of new games.
RetroWolf88 is a really awesome dude with great content. Seeing him sell his entire GameCube collection is wild (and I never thought he’d part ways with his GC collection lol) but he’s definitely doing it for a great cause. This is really cool seeing you both collab on this!
Great stuff man! Definitely enjoy that GC collection!
Well he just made a video 6 days ago that he bought 225 GC games . So sounds like he will have it all back soon 🤣
Congratulations to you Rick on the big gamecube collection purchase! and congrats on retrowolf for taking another step towards his business! and he incluced all those plastic cases for every single gamecube game?! that was so clutch and nice of him! Great video and thanks for sharing it with us!
What an amazing video. Definitely a lot of emotion in this one. Both parties come out on top and a new challenge is ahead for you. Awesome collection by the way. The detail and care for these games is top notch. 👊
I love RetroWolf88. So happy for both of you that this worked out. We were rooting for y’all.
My guys!
Having known Matt for a few years now I can only imagine what a big moment this was for him.
Definitely in a good home though and glad the community can still admire it 👍
Love your channel
A little sad for Matt having to sell his collection BUT I know he did it for good reason. If I were to ever buy a big lot of games, who better than someone that appreciates and takes care of them and that’s a gaming/collector.
Glad he was able to keep it in our fantastic UA-cam gaming community. A big spend BUT well worth it if you can afford it.
Congratulations on your purchase I can't wait to find out more about what's going on I know you dropped a hint about a week ago when you were shopping on a Whatnot auction so I was really looking forward to this one.
Totally amazing… congratulations… Phoenix is going to be envious… can’t wait to see more of this collection…
my new favorite channel, giving me so ideas of creating my future gameroom. as well as creating a collection of my favorite childhood consoles and games, You're Awesome Rick!🙌
I probably watch 1 out of every 10 videos you post. And it’s awesome to see how quickly your game room has grown in the past year or two!
Okay, this was an INSANE deal. Wow. What a fun video! Thank you for your content! Great stuff!
What a guy! I love the end of the video. I won't spoil it, but that's integrity. I love your game room and I watch your videos all the time with my wife. I'm a bit of a collector, myself but I have an even smaller space than you. I've been waiting for a Shadow Gate to show up at my local flea market forever now. I might try to buy one from you. Good luck, Retro Rick!
It's cool how straightforward you guys were with each other. He was up front that he's selling the collection to fund a business, you're up front that you're gonna flip some to recoup your costs. Selling all of those games in individual online listings would take a long time and a good chance that several would never sell, so I can understand why he'd want to sell the entire collection in bulk at a discount rather than trying to sell each one individually himself. Very cool to hear all the details and see all the games... thanks for sharing!
the hoverboard hovering is pretty dope. Love seeing the process of making the space and putting the new games in. Amazing collection pickup!
This was amazing! Matt is such a cool dude. It's really cool to see his collection going to a solid home.
What up Peter!
INSANE!!! Gamecube is my favorite system and this is so great to see. Congrats man. Hope we get some more videos on the contents from the haul
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing this with us. Gamecube is one of those systems that I haven't played enough of. Congrats on the collection! Good luck to Matt on starting his business.
Thanks man!
Quick, Rick! Don't let Phoenix Resale see this, because he might buy it off you quicker than you bought it. Fantastic video btw!
Ya, his poor little Gamecube Gambit
@@retrorick Straight up flexin 😆
@@retrorick I just envisioned all your Gamecube games laughing manically like Maleficent in the Sleeping Beauty 😆
*after fees intensifies
this is awesome! looking forward to future videos where you go through the boxes and also interested in seeing Matt's adventure to RE-collect the collection!!
I am hoping to have the 1st episode out early February so keep a lookout!
1/2 minutes
2 more minutes
One of my favorite guys to watch, kinda thankful I found your channel years after you started because I have A LOT of videos to catch up on
the real problem for a collector is the space. Great move for a great collection. Have fun with these! Sending my love from Greece!
I sold a 40 years collection a couple years ago of thousands of games and a few complete libraries and went completely digital, but man I still get excited watching this. No regrets.
Next 25 minutes
@@sheonmcleod2962 Next forever.
Amazing surge of nostalgia! What a collection.... Worth every penny!

Awesome video. I only recently found your channel and love it. I’m not a collector but love retro stuff (grew up on the 80s and 90s). Enjoyed your recent video where you found some lunch boxes. Great stuff. Keep it up.
Really great upload rick!! So glad theres going to be part 2. That cupboard space would look better if you knock out that space to make room bigger, unless you are renting😕
I would take the door off the hinges to the closet and definitely put a bookshelf where the game shirts are.
Wow you are definitely lucky my guy. I tried recently twice through ebay to buy the complete gamecube collection and my best offer was 16k both times and the deal didnt happen. JUST the gamecube collection so you definitely got a 10-15k in extras. Literally amazing hopefully I get a deal like this one day...
One of the many things I’ll never part with: my complete Goosebumps collection. So much nostalgia!
Amazing video! I started the task to build the entire GC catalog and am no where near completion. Seeing this is a big motivator
Very sweet pickup! Fantastic deal for both parties AND an instant collection! Much respect for you Rick to share this experience with the world, seriously epic achievement!
Thank you my friend, monumental day for the collection!
No
Crazy buy! Must be nice to have that money to purchase a collection like this all in one go!
WOW!!! That's awesome iam so happy you found what you wanted, good luck putting all up on that shelf lol.
Man if I keep watching your videos I'm going to end up starting a video game collection! This is addicting just living vicariously through your content!
Anybody else a little bummed he’s completing his collections via these expensive buys of other people’s collections? Part of what I liked about his channel was his hustling through thrift stores to find the games. Like, where does he go from here?
Retro Rick you are a good person! You are helping out a friend in starting a business.At the end of the video you surprised me bro you gave him six free Nintendo game cube games. That made me smile. I can’t believe I have been a subscriber for almost two years now.
What an insane collection for sure Retro Rick. Chase recently spent $15k on a collection as well. Its cool seing all this games in one spot.
Loving those "Are you Afraid of the Dark?" books. My favorite childhood show.
Congratulations on the purchase of a lifetime, Rick! This is a remarkable moment for your channel!
And I Quote ( Its no fun for me to buy games, I like to find them in the wild) Rick the charm of your Channel is the hunt not buying games like this.
This Channel and the videos are awesome and amazing. How have i missed out on this, brings back so many memories.
How cool to have such an iconic game collection change hands from 1 top bloke to another. Great work guys... Gamecube is hands down the #1 collection to have as a gamer 🍻🍻👍👍
I thought we were all in the same playing field collecting cheap, that UA-cam revenue must be nice... Thinking bout doing the same thing but keeping it 💯 with my viewers.
Damn buddy you and you’re already must have a great jobs to be able to spend 20 K on a video game collection and keep it that’s spectacular
Good video as always Rick! I remember having some heavy hitters when I was younger like that Prime/WindWaker double pack and the Zelda Master Quest Oot. Also I need that Cartoon network shirt that's dope
I have the entire original goosebumps series of books in storage ! Wish I could display them all someday. I looooove the GameCube and super jealous of you getting that whole set!!! Great job!
Can't wait to see these on Whatnot
You’ll see some of it, the gamecube stuff is staying with me!
Amazing pickup! Fyi these plastic case keep the moisture and are actually bad for the games and manuals, i remember hearing about it from Last Gamer, i believe he was told about this from a museum curator, the games need to breathe
Love it man! Congrats on making it happen. This is such a glorious complete collection to have
Everyone on your channel has really round heads 😂
Amazing collection so jealous of your collection.
great video and really enjoyed watching it .
Within the last year, didn't you say you had to sell some stuff to pay for some flooding in the basement? You hit the lottery or something? 🤣
Hey Rick, I have all 551 GameCube titles as well. If you want some pointers about the GameCube, I’ll be happy to share
appreciate that my friend!
That’s an incredible event there. I can tell you I think about selling my collection every day. It’s worth more than ever now and it’s just a lot to consider. It’s my life’s work!
After the sell, Matt drove back home listening to "Bringin’ On the Heartbreak" by Def Leppard. Lol 😆 I know that's what I'd do.
The coolest things I heard in this video was that he was wanting to start a business debt free. That is smart and awesome to have the forward thinking to make that decision. Fantastic!
Thanks!
Simple thought really. When you know you have tons of cash on hand then why not make it happen, plus you know you are about to make a big investment soon that you want to make sure you made a good investment
Still better than buying monkey nft
Wow awesome new gamecube collection. So true so rare to see gamecube stuff in the wild. That was my first series console (excluding gameboy) growing up. I'm very jealous.
Best of luck with the new business retrowolf88. I'm sure you feel happy that your collection is going to a good home😍
I'll have to check out your channel now
15:28 I use to have so many NES games in those black sleeves, lost them in a house fire sadly years ago, I’m actually getting a bit teary eyed seeing such a vast collection again. I’m pleased to see that there are people out there looking after them.
Sweet
what's next retro rick nfts ?
arent nfts the future? Im not smart enough to know
You have an amazing collection I love all the VHS! Also omg Goosebumps books! I had loads of those idk what happened to them!
let’s go!!! This video was epic ! Shout out to retrowolf88 , good luck with the new business
Thanks!
Hello!
What happen to the part you've always says in the intro " I don't want to jump and buy them on eBay because it's not fun". You wanted thrill and find them in the wild then suddenly spend 20k to buy collections. Rick, you broke your code LOL.
Thats for the 10 dollar game collection
If I could, I would
@@collind9753 no you didn't pay attention of what he said his whole collections are found in the wild talking about his collections how he got them, and I know the rules of his 10 buck's collections but in the intro, he always mentions his whole collections and said that exact I mean it's ok to break your code or rules because everyone does that. Hard to say no to a complete collection of GameCube when you have money to buy it.
Wow, Matt is an awesome guy! Can’t believe he will work to get the collection back. GameCube game prices keep rising and difficult to find in the wild.
Thanks! So far I am back to 69 games and I have not paid anywhere near full market value
@@RetroWolf88 Damn, dude! I wanna be like you! That’s awesome! Also wishing you much success with your new business!
@tom mcadams Thank you I really appreciate that! 🙏
Totally awesomeness of a buy Brother. So exciting!! Congratulations. Thanks for sharing Your Adventures 😀 👍 ♥️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦🌎🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯
Although I'm not thrilled about the click baity nature of the video, you can't hate on the guy because he's successful. Obviously he's doing something right in life, and that should be admired instead of looked down upon.
Sorry, but I am a little confused at how you figure the title is "click baity". It says "I spent 20k on a video game collection". And that is exactly what he does in the video.
As much as i love all the recent accomplisments and things you've been doing, idk if its just me or not but something feels off. It feels lately your episodes are not as fun or something, are you doing anything different ? Are you seeing this as just a job? Are you trying to make as much as you can off this? Just tryna see where your heads at. I support you none the less. Just dont want to see a good person just be after money.
I think it's because we all probably followed the page because he was Goodwilling and Flea Marketing like a lot of us do.... now he's bought a storage locker of games and paid 20k to buy a collection from another UA-camr. Like they were cool videos.... but "hit different" as the kids say.
He got rich off UA-cam. Now he has so much excess income he is naturally not going to put In the laborious time it takes to source items,flip and resell for 10 dollars profit, when he can just outright buy any game he ever wanted.
WOW 🤩 🔥🔥🔥. That’s what you call RETRO TREASURE. Amazing video. I can’t wait to see more of the games in all those boxes. So much nostalgia in those boxes. I love it.
Retro Rick always coming thru with awesome pickups and delivering on the content.
I’m looking forward for the next VIDEOS on the NES games and Sega. A sight of beauty.
Always remember- I love to power glove it’s so bad. Lucas Barton.
Hit that thumbs up.
15:55 "Beren..stain?"
Oh, so we're still stuck in the "-ain Universe", are we?
I'd love to hear your wifes honest opinion on this 😂
honestly...shes great and just goes with the flow with all the game madness
@@retrorick That's awesome! You'll have to let us know which games are your favorite as you play through them 😎
@@retrorick When you said you were gonna move stuff to the living room, I asked my wife if I could do that. She was not pleased. lol
Exciting and happy for you, although you didn’t find them in the wild, which happens to be the premise of your channel.
Not many people can cash out 20k as disposable income.
With the space situation, you may need to move.
Exactly! "I don't buy on eBay as I want to find them in the wild"......hypocrite
thank you my friend..yes a little different than a normal hunt but am blessed to have the Gamecube collection now!
@@aussiebillp Old Retro has been putting the work in to get to over 100k subs, good for him. We should be jealous of a fantastic collection but hes the one putting the years in to get to this level, i sure know i didn't. Happy for the guy for a big pay off
@@emac8381 I’m jealous, I admit it!
he would have to be a complete idiot to not take this deal.
This was fun.. I miss my old GameCube
That was awesome you had retro bow theme music playing there towards the end
I’m here for all this content, great purchase!
"I don't want to go on ebay it's not fun, I want to find video games in the wild"
...buys a 20k $ collection😅
Ok I admit, I'm just jealous😄
ha yeah a little different than a normal video but i am super thankful to have all these games in the collection now!
Retro wolf 88 I'm going to subscribe to your page now
Hey thanks I appreciate that! 🙏
Great channel! You won’t be disappointed!
@@RetroWolf88 I subbed as well
I been watching retrowolf 88 for a long time now! Great Channel and guy!
I appreciate you! 🙏
I enjoy your channel more than all the other game related ones. Keep up the awesome work
I think you are done...like...where do you go from here? 20k ...oof my wallet/bank account just screamed. No hate but I am happy you have enough to drop to get this.
Can't wait for you to sell your collection for thousands of dollars and say all you put into it was 10$!
Wow, what an amazing collection, congrats Rick!
Cases for every game is wild to see. That’s so fire.
Pays to get subscribers and be a successful UA-camr.
i guess, im broke...but have a bunch of video games 😂
@@retrorick never broke when you own something that someone highly values. Like owning property.
Spending 20k on this collection is pretty much the same as buying on eBay that he apparently doesn’t do for his collection….he’ll part it out full price to potential buyers…not sure what to believe on this channel. Says one thing does another!?!?
Wow! One box would blow my mind. So crazy to see.
That's an amazing collection. Awesome stuff. 👍👍
There's nothing worse than this guy chewing gum on camera. So unprofessional...
You have 20k? Unsub
well i did have $20k...not anymore ha
Those perfect boxes on that truck and that big knife reminded me of like opening a huge drug smugglers shipment at the docks.🤣
I would absolutely love to come by to check out your collection and talk nostalgia with you. When I saw Tiger Heli and then Blaster Master! I knew I was watching the right video.
This is a waste of money
no it's not. Don't like it don't watch.
Yes !!! The grim adventures of billy and Mandy GameCube game is so underrated ! Was one of my favs !!!
Nice addition! After seeing several collectors sell their entire collections over the last year I wonder how much my entire gaming kiosk collection would go for.
Starfox 64 was the first video game I ever played. This collection is amazing.
