We got to a point where resellers have inflated the price of retro games, that thrift shops are starting to charge just as much to keep up with the market. It's slowly hitting Mercari, and getting a fair price is becoming impossible.
Nowadays, I negotiate for combined shipping and bundled listings to offset the costs; helps me and the sellers meet somewhere in the middle and help make both parties happy.
I agree there is a difference between a collector that sells something that is duplicate or something so they can buy something else they are wanting to collect, but the people that live on marketplace just so they can scoop up good deals so.they can sell for 4 times the price to a collector piss me off
Don't give up til it gets really bad. Seriously started collecting things since February, and there are still people out there willing to part with their childhood to gamers who genuinely treasure them. Got Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX for $25, and I wonder why I ever traded-in Blue Rescue Team all those years ago...stupid kid self...keep fighting for your inner gaming child, and don't let those £ucking scalpers have it any easier!
Lol this guy is really staying up until and meeting somebody at midnight to make a buck. I also cried laughing when he said “I take my job very seriously”. This is officially the biggest scu,mbág reseller I’ve ever seen. People like this will do anything to avoid having to work a day in their life. Resellers are going to have to get jobs soon because the market is getting too crowded. I cant wait to see these guys struggle.
They're too dumb to realize that the little bit of RUclips ad revenue they make by promoting their "Job" is actually teaching other people to do the same thing. They're pretty much educating the market that they rip off lol
for the $400 in games he sold he can afford to buy the $5 lightbulbs. He must be exhausted to from sitting in moms basement scouring facebook marketplace, and playing warzone while ordering doordash.
@@southerngamer98 Yeah you can usually find fair prices on most things. I have a lot of respect for sellers on EBay that know how to make a profit and not rip people off
There are some games here in my country that no one bought or are people are not selling them and searching for those games in ebay has become a chore, yeah there are emulators but for someone that just wants to relieve some childhood memories with a game or franchise it is straight up impossible nowadays unless you are in a position to shell out 100+ bucks. Thanks Steve for always being the Heckin' we like.
What’s he going to do when all these systems start dying and people wise up and there is nobody to sell non functioning systems to? Sucking pickles for a nickle is my guess.
He will just try to resale some other item because his lazy ass isn't going out in the real world and joining the job force and be an actual productive citizen.
By telling you to grow up, he is essentially telling you to accept an unethical business practice because people make money off of it. So he might as well be defending scalpers and people selling repro copies of retro games as original releases because they are also making a lot of money from making things worse for gamers. Something to also consider is when a reseller gets some sweet deal from someone quickly selling games for a lot less than they can be sold for, there is usually some kind of sad story behind that, especially in a situation where someone is so hard up for money that they contact a reseller at night. Maybe someone had a unexpected medical expense and now is struggling to pay rent or maybe someone is desperate for money ASAP because they have fallen into a drug or gambling addiction or maybe they are poor and borrowed money from a sleazy payday lender that they need to pay off quickly to avoid being extorted by a high interest rate on a small loan. Getting a really cheap deal on someone's collection doesn't come out of nowhere and when someone gains considerably in a transaction like that, it means the other person is losing considerably. When you think of it in that context, is it ethical to take advantage of someone's misfortune like that? If someone really needs money, is it okay to pay them less than the items they are selling are actually worth? Putting the situation into context, a game reseller taking advantage of financially desperate people is very similar to other sleazy business practices that exploit people in poverty.
I'm glad you brought that up. I always get bummed out when I see a collection sold without the owner there. When something really nice gets sold off cheap, I always feel like someone is taking advantage, and you always see walkers and medical equipment and stuff at the sale too. Like, the dude who came to be caretaker for their late, ailing family member was using gaming to cope w something terribly sad, and now the thing they loved is gone, usually behind their back. Or some nice person with good taste died a tragic death, and a reseller goes and rips off their mom. That kind of thing makes me sad, and I always used to think about the people behind the stuff when I used to go find good stuff at goodwill. Sadly those days are over, those MFs price like they aren't a Non Profit, it's whackasfuck
I'm not defending that but collectors are causing problems by upping the prices of the genuine games. Nobody would want fakes if all the original carts were available more often. Facts 💯
This is where I draw the line in buying/selling...I had a chance to buy Pain Killer PS3 for 20$ (500$ game)...saw the listing at 11pm, told seller I could meet in morning (Sat) but someone went out at midnight to buy it to beat me to it
It’s cutthroat business. I think I might go on Marketplace and if I see something like that, I’m gonna tell them how rare and expensive it is. Just to be a jerk lol
Notice the Dreamcast listings were for CiB and I guarantee those had the OEM cables. This man probably bought some shit jacks and power cord and is going to charge as if its OEM.
got a question for ya if you dont mind, so do you differentiate between game store owners and resellers, if so how do you differentiate them? like would you say well a store owner collects for themselves as well as reselling?, Ive known a few small store owners and guys were really into their stuff, or is it stores will actually fully test and clean stuff? or are they both the same? Thanks for the video Steve this is actually the first time I found you quite oddly but you have some good points
I am reseller myself... I don't really care if you don't like what I do. But never the less I enjoy your content you post and will continue watching it.
Resellers have completely ruined the retro game marketplace in just a few years and because of videos like these you have so many people trying to be “resellers” and now every town is flooded with them like a fucking cancer and most of them aren’t even collectors themselves they just know old video games are “hot” right now ….dude wanna buy this game I got this morning for $10 I’ll sell it to you for $75 😂😂 cus eBay told be that’s what it’s worth
I feel like it's one thing to search for games at a deal, and then try to sell them at market price. At least even if you did spend less, you still are selling at a rate that is comparable to other listings of that same item. But when you go out and purposefully look for deals so that you can mark them up above the market to drive up your profit margins, that's definitely pretty shady and hurts the market. People hate on Phoenix Resale, but after watching a few of his videos, he at least seems to try to match prices of sold listings. In that way, you're still getting a pretty fair deal, especially if the condition is good. But taking advantage of people who aren't invested enough to do the research so that you can line your pockets isn't exactly respectable.
Oh god dont touch that subject his last video I had a full blown thing going on about phoenix resell its just not worth it I agree with you though just touchy subject over here man
AYO what up my guy Steve. Found ya from ur dk oldies vids and have been binge watching all your vids. You eerily remind me so much of one of my best friends its insane. Anyways, you got yourself a a sub my dood, keep up the good work.
I'm fairly new to your channel. I've seen quite a bit of your video on DKoldies specifically. Glad the algorithm brought to your content in general. Had me dying laughing at roasting this reseller 😂
It’s coming down a little but you can buy a ton of games for cheap in the hobby. Just gotta dance around the RUclipsr resellers and the games they push
I won't do emulation because I love the physical point of owning the retro games and modern latest games and it's nostalgic to have them and play on your tv or handheld but these scumbag resellers are out there hunttin your stuff down and selling it for a higher profit it's not fair and I'm keeping mine forever lol
Mans got to get some sleep so he can wake up early tomorrow and wreck the facebook marketplace and make sure nobody else can get a decent deal, just like you said. Again another one of these guys calling this a "job". LMFAO
If you can't say Arceus I'm not buying from you wtf is this. You'd think if he flipped enough he'd at least learn through immersion or something. It's like he's purposefully putting it down like it isn't worth his time 🤣
@@steviefreakinc its a port but it seemed like they watched this video in someway (im surprised you responded this fast, im a game collector in EU and the market is crazy rn with all these guys buying the stock they never even play the games they buy either)
There’s a way to make money selling games while also being fair. If you find a game for $5 that’s worth $50, sell it for $40. Even a small discount like that would help a gamer and maybe even drop the value overall since most sellers use recent eBay listings as reference.
Pretty funny roasting the guy. I'm not totally on board with your opinion on resellers but definitely respect that you and I think differently. Haven't seen the original comment thread but it seems like Adrian took it a bit personally since it was his livelihood (or a side job?). Obviously the "grow up" comment is and was stupid. It's totally legit to disagree and make your case but that kind of frustrated dismissal (telling someone to grow up) is nothing but ironic. On the other hand I get how you get there though. Everyone on the internet states their opinions and often in the strongest terms. It's annoying when you disagree with popular opinion and particularly if it's something close to home. Gotta' be able to disconnect from the discourse though before it gets to the point where you want to be a dick like that. Better to move on then get into an argument you're not willing to see through.
Yeah he really was upset that I was talking about reselling. I think you can resell and not rip people off. But all of the RUclipsrs that resell seem to always go for max profit. Which sucks
@@steviefreakinc Yeah, seems like it. In particular I think the people who make their living off of it often fall into that category of people who maximize profits. There's a lot of points where people agree and disagree on the topic. An example of contention might be why they're doing the reselling. Where some people might find it okay if the person reselling is passionate about the video games and the money is being reinvested into their own collection. Where they think it's bad if someone knows the financial side of games and resells them for an additional source of income but doesn't actually care about the medium at all. To some people both are okay. To some both are not. Maybe it's how often you resell, what you resell, or how much profit you try to make from it. Definitely an interesting topic but one that's probably too lengthy to really get into with RUclips comments. Anyway, cheers for the video brotha!
I hate when resellers call this a real job when it's not it's a damn Hobby LOL you're you're not getting tax return you're not going to make Factory money doing recently tired of their lying about how much they really make one person say they make six figures😂
Resellers ruined a pawn shop near me, they were selling 6th and 7th gen games for $2, didn’t matter what it was but now the pawn store is price checking cause they know a person who comes by and clears them out
They've ruined it everywhere. A local thrift store I used to get games every now & then from just fired an employee because he was holding all the games that come in for a reseller & taking money for doing so. Resellers have ruined the hobby
@@Fallen_Blade I don't either, I mean most of these employees are making min.wage & that scumbag took advantage of it & ended costing them their job. I've heard of ppl breaking into goodwill donation bins, ripping kids off, stealing. There's real greedy dirtbags screwing up the hobby
@@jeffallen1759my thrift just has picker teams lining up an literally an hour early so they can walk in and throw everything in a cart that looks decent, then go check it in the corner like a junkie lol. I got lucky there once, but every time I've been back it's been nothing bc their kindness is taken advantage of. I like games, I collect games, I go for games. All the people who will line up will sell literally anything if it's underpriced, and they always pick up a crapload of stuff. It's like they've made a middle man online thrift store that isn't wanted or needed, but that people begrudgingly use because almost every single thrift store, pawn shop, goodwill and flea market has been ruined by resellers. It sucks, bc some people like the local ministry are actual pricing stuff low, but these people are making a literal living off of abusing that kindness and stealing it from the community. That's just the one I liked that I heard still had good thrift store prices sometimes, it won't be long until they just start selling online too I'd imagine.
😂😂 Been awhile Brother, and I see you still pointing out these jerks. You ended up beating this guy in a debate you say? Feelin grown yet? Lol Excellent video Steve.
Reselling is reselling doesn't change if you are a collector or do it for a living. Or A big box office store I find you making a video about something like this just nonsense why even care who does what to make money. It's literally how the world works people have to make a profit to pay bills and really complaining about wiis 7 years ago yeah anything older is harder to find it's saying in the 90s earthbound was 80 wow
Heckin Steve is actually becoming obessed with resellers and honestly hes not even giving a legit reason why I had to unsubscribe because this is getting just sad to see hes legit berating a guy because of his lights in this video his lights like what are you doing man why is he becoming so toxic like this 🤦
Why would he be jealous? He’s just calling out the obvious. The snowflakes can’t handle the truth nowadays and that’s why this generation has become so soft and weak and have turned to reselling because they’re a bunch of cowards who are afraid to blend in with society and get a real job.

They’re everywhere now too. Thanks to RUclipsrs showing them the way.
So many Wii consoles and yet no money for fixing a damn light. What a sad person.
Pretty much a reason why I don’t collect anymore because of people like this
Same man. It's sad. Can't even buy sports cards anymore. Same crap going on in that market too.
the only thing i collect anymore are books and manga. You can still buy those for MSRP thankfully
Don't give up til it gets really bad.

bro, that was such a huge tell. Dude has no effing clue. Only cares about money. Using gaming as a means to an end.
I love how he just throws stuff on the Wii, totally not gonna scratch the consoles...
Wouldn't buy from such a reseller
Yeah he’s careless lol
@@steviefreakinc If he'd be a pro he'd know how easily scratcheable the Wii with its clear surface is.
for the $400 in games he sold he can afford to buy the $5 lightbulbs. He must be exhausted to from sitting in moms basement scouring facebook marketplace, and playing warzone while ordering doordash.
Speaking of Doordash, I’m thinking about making a video on them lol
eBay and Mercari wouldn’t exist without resellers, so there’s that.
Fair enough but normal people selling their stuff is different than these guys
Most listings on Ebay and Mercari, at least from what I've seen, aren't charging small fortunes.
@@southerngamer98 Yeah you can usually find fair prices on most things. I have a lot of respect for sellers on EBay that know how to make a profit and not rip people off

Thanks Steve for always being the Heckin' we like.
Thanks man. Imagine paying $100+ for an old game. Lol I couldn’t do it unless it was a special edition of something
"Sorry I'm tired... I was about to go to sleep when this deal popped up"
Like, couldn't he have filmed it the next day? Or better yet, not at all?
LMAO

Lmao sucking pickles for a nickel
He will just try to resale some other item because his lazy ass isn't going out in the real world and joining the job force and be an actual productive citizen.
Shit like this is why I emulate and will continue to emulate
Ps1 mini is good.u get a flashdrive stick.u could get all games,china sell those
I play on PC but I would like to get the PS Classic and mod it too
A reseller that has zero knowledge about what they’re selling is truly the worst type.
It's insulting
people inflating prices up...that's utter garbage behaviour.

@@Fallen_Blade I don't either, I mean most of these employees are making min.wage & that scumbag took advantage of it & ended costing them their job. I've heard of ppl breaking into goodwill donation bins, ripping kids off, stealing. There's real greedy dirtbags screwing up the hobby
@@jeffallen1759my thrift just has picker teams lining up an literally an hour early so they can walk in and throw everything in a cart that looks decent, then go check it in the corner like a junkie lol. I got lucky there once, but every time I've been back it's been nothing bc their kindness is taken advantage of. I like games, I collect games, I go for games. All the people who will line up will sell literally anything if it's underpriced, and they always pick up a crapload of stuff. It's like they've made a middle man online thrift store that isn't wanted or needed, but that people begrudgingly use because almost every single thrift store, pawn shop, goodwill and flea market has been ruined by resellers. It sucks, bc some people like the local ministry are actual pricing stuff low, but these people are making a literal living off of abusing that kindness and stealing it from the community. That's just the one I liked that I heard still had good thrift store prices sometimes, it won't be long until they just start selling online too I'd imagine.

Reselling is reselling doesn't change if you are a collector or do it for a living. Or A big box office store I find you making a video about something like this just nonsense why even care who does what to make money. It's literally how the world works people have to make a profit to pay bills and really complaining about wiis 7 years ago yeah anything older is harder to find it's saying in the 90s earthbound was 80 wow
You must like buying stuff for more money than needed then.
20 Wii's 🤣
I know right? #wiiarmy
Do I sense a bit of jealousy? You need to relax man. And ya that is pretty fucking nice of him to give some shoes away..
For more than retail lol
Heckin Steve is actually becoming obessed with resellers and honestly hes not even giving a legit reason why I had to unsubscribe because this is getting just sad to see hes legit berating a guy because of his lights in this video his lights like what are you doing man why is he becoming so toxic like this 🤦
@@Assassin-ys5vw If you unsubscribed then why are you here?
Why would he be jealous? He’s just calling out the obvious. The snowflakes can’t handle the truth nowadays and that’s why this generation has become so soft and weak and have turned to reselling because they’re a bunch of cowards who are afraid to blend in with society and get a real job.
@@3frame381 unsubscribed after saying my peace and unsubbed doesnt mean I cant comment
Seriously though grow up.
Let me get back to you in a bit man I’m actually at work right now.
Ok.
