    I dig through a storage unit in the Seattle area that has some of the rarest & hard to find consoles & games I have ever seen. Nintendo consoles, Game & Watch, handhelds, NEC, NEOGEO, Sega, PC and so much more.

    Hey, it's me! 😁
    First, thanks Metal Jesus for doing the video and hanging out, it was a lot of fun nerding out on all sorts of video game stuff...I can talk about it all day.
    I was trying to reply to comments, but figured a comment where people can ask questions directly is probably better...happy to answer just about anything and everything!

    I think the coolest thing about this guy, is that even though he stated he has an addiction of buying things; it seems like his real addiction/ passion, is to fix up old gaming consoles/PCs, and he has the goal of getting them in the hands of local gamers/ collectors in the community. Awesome stuff!! 😎🤘🎮

      I know where that "antique pavilion" is, its in Edmonds WA, on the southern border close to shoreline WA. I've been there a fee times acouple years back, actually bought a HUGE Cleaver there (about 20 lbs) for $30, th thinks in great condition but about 80-100 years old easy.

      A big problem is sellers selling blatantly bootleg games. My nephew made the mistake of buying three N64 games, and one of them he couldn't get working. He brought it to me, and I opened it up and discovered a very sloppily-soldered bootleg board inside. Lesson learned O_O (he did let me keep it though, in case I ever need the cover to place a real board into :))

Btw, you are telling me that you like to show a wharehouse of a guy, with multiple stuff boxed in cases with no real care on exposing them or being collected since they gonna be sold to someonelse because the guy don’t care having them? Wow. Yeah, that is awesome to see, i have to admit.

    As a collector in Japan I can't help but to feel uncomfortable due to importers like this. It's cool to see it all in one place and I'm glad he repairs everything, but for us collectors in Japan the prices for some of this stuff has been climbing due to importers and exporters.

      @@juanrounds couldn't the same be said for collectors in the west who complain about game prices rising to extremes over there? In this case prices are increasing over time because of a decrease in supply in the domestic market with increase in demand as the hobby remains somewhat popular and many people come back to it due to nostalgia. The criticism is due to the fact that I don't like people doing that, especially since many of the games that get exported can't even be played unless you speak Japanese. Games like Pokemon Green, Chrono Trigger, and the Mother series for example are popular to import and then throw on a shelf to collect dust as a display piece. It would be much better off in the collection of someone who could actually play it. You know how you're mad at scalpers for increasing the cost of games in your country? That's exactly what this is. There's a lot of flippers and it's making prices go up up up. I remember a few years back you could get Pokemon on Gameboy boxed for under $10, now those days are gone because the game isn't so common anymore.

      I understand the sentiment, but honestly, there’s another way to look at it.
      You and I aren’t likely to ever stumble across a sealed NIB Voodoo 2 or a NeoGeo CD console. It’s a numbers game, and the only time you’re going to win it is if you go out there regularly and come up empty 95% of the time. If we tried that a few times a year, chances are we wouldn’t find whatever it is we’re looking for. So what you want isn’t available - at any price.
      At least here, the guy’s pounded the pavement and aggregated all the things he’s found. He’s not going to garage sales looking for _something,_ he’s looking for _anything._ Sometimes you come back with a golden N64 controller. Sometimes with a box full of Japanese Wii consoles.
      And then there’s a little more value added by making sure it works, or tapping into reserves to fix up the ones in better condition with parts from ones that aren’t.
      Yes, it raises the average price. And yes, you’re probably going to miss the $5 CIB GameBoy Advance carts. But you were probably going to miss it anyway. At least now you have a shot at it, if you want it, curated and verified, albeit at a fair-market price.
      Honestly? I’ll take that option.
