Love these videos. Been watching you for years and you’ve always had that OG RUclips feel where it’s just a dude in his room talking about games. And I say that with the utmost respect.
I've pretty much reached a point in my video game collecting especially in my area that everybody is pretty much aware of what they have, so trying to find a deal is next to impossible so I'd just rather save my money to get something I really want for something that is sold at market value or relatively close to it. Price isn't really much of an obstacle for me if I want something bad enough - it's just working hard to save enough money for it.
Great ebay videos Love them, definitely learn a lot about eBay as well tips and tricks. Please make a tips tricks video ❤. Could be interesting to say what works now and what doesn't or less since you started and how ebay has changed
I use eBay for finding true vintage 1970's concert t-shirts and the searching tips you gave in this video seem like they'll be very beneficial to my hunt, thank you for the suggestions!!
Unfortunately that wasn't possible at the time, because the case had to be big enough to hold the manuals, which had to include the instructions in many different European languages. This resulted in the manuals being quite big.
@@townsjim ah, I was trying to figure out why! I think this is same reason for the uniform type game titles on the case spines? Titles in different languages easier to print...
i love the fat cases. far too fragile though, which makes them a pain to replace since they're unique. Australia and New Zealand actually did get jewel case releases for some titles, complete with the same debossed playstation text on the disc holder
As far as sun damage goes, if the spine looks normal I'm ok with picking it up at around disc-only price or a little bit more than that. It would effectively look the same as any other mint game on the shelf as long as its displayed with the spine out.
MVC2 has already dropped by 25% on PS2. It was hitting $200 before the announcement and now it's under $150. I'm picking up one from marketplace with a memory card for $120 tomorrow.
Hi Pete I always love your eBay videos, you've taught me a lot over the years. I'm curious though, do you spend much time on other marketplaces/platforms or are you mainly on eBay? There are lots of smaller online marketplaces, and local ones like facebook marketplace, and services like Buyee that have some good items on.
For those homebrew roms, are they at least the official famicom versions, just modded internally to have english subs? Otherwise idk why anyone would pay 200+ for 6 reproduction games and repro boxes lol
There are sellers who have replaced the original rom chip on Japanese carts with "reflashed" roms that have the Engilsh translation. John Riggs has videos on how it's done.
Marvel vs capcom 2 may drop with this new release. I expect 30% drop. I am not racing to sell my copy. It depends on the quality of this new release and how long it is easily available as well as how long these current platforms are available. Is the newest version the best way to play?
Spy Hunter NTR isn't janky. It's a cheese fest, but has good controls and combat and plays a bit like Splinter Cell. The driving only takes up a small part of the game, it's mostly 3rd person action.
@@Blueflag04 I guess some people struggle with games like that, have people tell me Splinter Cell is hard and frustrating too. Don't get it personally but to each their own.
I search Ebay almost the exact opposite way to you, I want a very specific search most times because I know exactly what I want & most of the time I just want to see Exactly that. Prolly not a great way to search things, but that's what I do! :)
Not gonna lie holy smokes U.S prices don't hold back its almost better to buy from the uk and pay the overseas shipping cost might even come out cheaper
When you buy and own Gameboy Color games do you have to switch out the battery eventually (maybe every 10 years?) to not risk battery leak damage to the internal cart itself? Need to know for my own collecting journey I’m about to start collecting GBC / GBA games
You will need to replace the battery in any cartridge that has one eventually. I still have some games on their original batteries (30+ years old) because the cartridge doesn't draw from them very often, but I at least open them up and check every year to make sure they aren't bulging, leaking, or giving off an acidic odor.
The video game market is always fascinating to see, and I always have loved your insight into it. I do think a lot of the valuation is scammy and hard to pick out, especially graded games.
@@Blueflag04 and rpgs and fps and other genres are not all the same??? Sports games are fun. Say you don't like sports without saying you don't like sports
You said you are on the lookout for bad PS2 games, I have some for you. Here is a list of PS2 games I used to have but got rid of because they are so bad. IHRA Drag Racing 2, Driven, Alfa Romero Racing Italiano, Maximo Ghosts to Glory, Robotech Battlecry, Transformers, Star Trek Encounters, Escape from Monkey Island, World Destruction League thunder tanks, WWE Crush Hour, Legends of Wrestleing, Sprint Cars road to knoxville.
Fuck no I would never buy sun faded boxes. I don't care about cardboard boxes. Only collext cib for systems with plastic game cases. I am not paying a premium to be the owner of old cardboard. Genesis games have the recycle logo on them. They were trash then and still are and people who pay premiums for old cardboard boxes are insane to me.
The prices on some of those listings are beyond a joke.
Not to the stupid youtubers we all hype up though its everyones fault
Blame covid
@@oasisbeyond nah Trumps coming and maybe ill be able to afford a used ps2 game again like wtf is this
@@dougashby5679 for real brother. Every since sleepy Joe tweeted about his GameCube collection the market has been fucked.
People are just dumb...

The video title and thumbnail combo is incredible.
I love ebay video game hunting. More videos like this!
This is my favorite Pete content

I already stopped collecting because i got everything i needed. Now i will just watch other people falling for the prices
Always a enjoyable segment shopping online!
Love the eBay videos and streams, hope to see more!
more of these ebay vids pls !
Friendly reminder that there's a bowl shaped like a fish mouth going for 15k lol

12:24 you’re not wrong. I love Inuyasha and this was such a drag to get through.
You should do whispering for these late night videos it will make them even more chill and relaxing 😊
No
Not a huge come up or anything, but I skipped out on a CIB copy of Lifeline for $20 a couple years ago because it was sunfaded so bad.
I always enjoy watching your eBay videos. It's just entertaining. Plus, I always end up learning or discovering something.
that 50 cent vest is wild
I never even knew about Strider 2 until now, but that price is ridiculous!
love these kinds of videos, lots of good tips on how to sift through ebay lol

eBay can be exhausting though. I get tired of searching but neat to see you do it .
no sun damage btw.
I wish PAL ps1 used the same case as NA/JP.

Good stuff Pete
This video was a smart way to make the best of the connection situation.
Defiently make a video on how to search on EBay, i didnt even know you could type in keywords to get specifically what you want
Agree 1000% on the sun-fading comment. I despise sun faded games! That stunt racer is cart only, you can't display that box proudly anymore.
id love some ebay search tips
I’d wait in line to watch this shit

Wait a little longer, it'll go down more soon.
Same thing as Paper Mario on GC
more authentic that you didn't find anything. hunting be like that sometimes.
Most people who are asking ridiculous money for video games on eBay are not getting those prices

Awesome.
Bardyard ps2 is good

Would love to see you start playing more sports games and adding more to the collection! Get NBA 2k5 on xbox or ps2 !
