    The word "rare" in video game hunting/collecting is so misused. The GameCube player disc is not rare, although it is quite valuable and a nice find.

    • @ElDabstroyero
      @ElDabstroyero  6 месяцев назад

      I think it really depends on where you are because that one is the first one I’ve ever seen out thrifting.
      Plus, there are degrees of rarity, is it as rare as Go Go Hypergrind? No,, but it’s definitely more rare than uncommon titles I would think.
      Either way, like you said a really, good pick up! :-)

    You found some good stuff, but im always thrown for a loop with certain collectors. I am closing in on 1500 games but im always selective on getting games I will actually play. So its always odd to me when i see vids of people picking up bass fishing or wii pets. Like no shade or hate but it always feels like buying up everything is borderline hoarding. I can't help but think of all the money you could've saved towards other things if you werent picking up shovelware/old sports games or even just save on shelf space for quality games...again no shade or hate.

    • @ryandann9362
      @ryandann9362 10 месяцев назад +3

      I agree. As someone who used to pick up anything I didn't have, I eventually ran out of room. I'm left now slowly selling the games and things I will never play. It's a ton of work, and can be overwhelming.

    • @leeokami1021
      @leeokami1021 10 месяцев назад +2

      @ryandann9362 yeah I always will go for quality over quanity. I just can never see a situation where you wake up like "I want to play some madden 2003" or "I'm really in the mood for truck racer." worst is most gamestores won't check it so it feels like you are just holding onto trash

    • @ElDabstroyero
      @ElDabstroyero  10 месяцев назад +1

      I totally get what you're saying and I agree with you. I think for me personally, it comes down to 1) wanting to get content to make silly videos, 2) having a loose goal of wanting to get a complete set of games for the various systems, 3) and I enjoy the thrill of the hunt; so while I could pay 100 for a 100 dollar game at a game store, it isn't the same as finding it on the cheap - and while that hunt means I'm not always scoring big and I'm sometimes picking up more common stuff, it also introduces me to lots of weird and random games I've never even heard of before.
      It's also surprisingly fun to have friends over for game nights and give them thousands of options haha - I am constantly shocked by what they want to play, including some of the most terrible shovel-ware ever (Busy Scissors on Wii got played somehow lol). But on the flip side, I had never played any DDR games and one night I played 6 or 7 of them with some friends, because that's what caught their eye 😂
