Great video man!
Dude! Thank you so much! I’ve been a huge fan of your channel for a long time. Congrats on the Mr. Beast collab, truly amazing stuff! Cheers Elliot!
Elliot is the reason I found out about sendico. And then spent all my money 😅.
I love being able to use yahoo auctions but, I've found after you add in all the fee's its not too much cheaper than ebay. I have yet to watch your other video, but it is sort of a pain in the butt to find exactly what you're looking for. Some basic japanese knowledge helps as far as typing out the katakana/hiragana for the names (or using google translate but making sure it translates the way you need it to) but some things are just different/ lost in translation, like consoles are called "main unit bodies" in translation.
I spent a bunch of time trolling the site to find some good deals across gameboy, famicom, wonderswan and pc engine items. I spent about 100-110$ on a handful of famicom disk system games and a loose a/v famicom.
I used to use some sellers on ebay (yamatokuclassic) and have them bundle packages for me. I remember getting some really decent deals, but this was about 4-5 years ago, and of course prices go up rather than down.
Still a good video! Thanks Tito!
@@joeblusnavage5403 thank you Joe! That’s super interesting. I wish I was able to write Japanese but I also see how things can get lost in translation. I think there still some deals to be had, just a bit more difficult to come by. Cheers!
Hey what are you doing here 😂
Great video, the lot seems kinda expensive for me, as in Spain those consoles are sold in good condition for 30-35usd, but now I'm already waiting for new videos from you so we can see what are you planning with them :) Keep it up man!
Thank you Retro Effect! I totally agree, it really wasn’t the best deal. But on the bright side, there will be plenty of mod videos to come for this lot, these consoles certainly need a lot of work, haha! Cheers my friend!
FINALLY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VID ALL WEEK!
Hope you enjoy it Kshitij!! Cheers buddy!
Really enjoying the unboxing videos. Also, nice new editing effects!
Thanks Robert! Really appreciate bud! So glad you’re enjoying the videos! Cheers!
Excellent video your sendico videos are great content takes a step back from the modding which is great good job sir nacho 👍. Only thing I would change is never leave out that sweet intro 😂
Thank you Anthony! Haha, I will never get rid of the intro, spent what too much time making it. Just wanted to change things up a bit this week. Cheers buddy! So happy you like the intro sequence!
I am in the UK and remember reading EGM as a kid (which for some reason my local newsagent imported!), pouring over the adverts and lusting over the PC Engine GT. The absolute peak of cool gaming gear, then and now imo.
I couldn’t agree more with you cedarstuff! The 90s were an amazing time for gaming. I feel like a lot of companies were taking chances and experimenting a lot with new ideas. I also love how there were so many players in the gaming scene. I used to love EGM! I was never subscribed but I bought their magazine whenever I had the chance. Oh memories, haha! Cheers!
Make “that’s unfortunate” merch, please.
Haha! That would be hilarious! That could be a legitimate possibility! Thanks for the idea. Cheers A J!
Great vid! Enjoyed you opening stuff! 😜
Thank you onasazi! Happy you enjoyed it bud!! Cheers my dude!!
Be careful Tito that yahoo auction can be addictive😉 I got in introuble at home because i was going a bit wild with it😅. Nice pick ups man your gonna push me to buy a pc engine gt. Great video
Haha, I know! Very addictive indeed! I need to be careful.
Do it dude! The PC Engine GT is such a unique handheld! The LCD screen actually looks pretty nice too for such an old console. Cheers buddy!
Absolutely amazing video production skills, keep at it and you’re going somewhere with youtube.
Thank you so much 🙏! Really appreciate the kind words! Cheers buddy!
What up Tito?? I think you still got a good deal, as modder most of of the gba problems are solved by a good clean up; hope you get’em working. Good luck! ( I am so jealous about the pc engine gt)
Yo Saul! Thanks man! Totally agree! a lot of the time consoles sold as broken just need a good thorough cleaning. Cheers buddy!!
Hey Tito, very fun video, it feels like looking at lottery numbers popping up xD
I feel you got a got pickup regardless, I guess you’ll spend more time on repairing them - which is part of the fun anyways.
Absolutely Jesus! Glad you enjoyed the video! Now the work starts on the repairs! Cheers buddy!
Sick. Can’t wait to start ordering japanese products.
Would you be into doing a studio tour and recording equipment breakdown? Your setup is noice.
It’s a lot of fun dude! Lots of great stuff to be found!
It’s definitely in my list of video ideas! I will probably do a tour at some point for sure! Cheers buddy!
Hey Tito, I thought your cut of the unboxing with the craft knife was spot on. Great job man. Online auctions can be a crapshoot. I recently spent $70 after tax and shipping on a Green Play It Loud with Tetris. Which sounds like a ton of money right? But it's completely spotless. Not even a minor scratch on the screen. No corrosion at all. It's basically like they pulled it out of a sealed box and sent it to me. Unreal. You just don't know what exactly is going to be in that box.
On another subject, I think it's really cool to see some occasional non-gameboy stuff on your channel. I had never seen one of those PC Engine GTs before. Very cool to see stuff like that. My brother had a Sega Game Gear and I'm hoping to see you do some mods on those at some point in the future. Recently I saw there is a screen replacement kit for them.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to future videos.
Thank you buddy! Totally agree, you win some you lose some. The gameboy lot wasn’t the best but I’m determined to get them all working! I will definitely be doing some non gameboy stuff coming up and the Game Gear is definitely on the docket! I’m hoping for some cool mods to come out for the GG soon. I have a soft spot for the GG. I had one of those before I had a gameboy. Cheers Only Sky Above Us!!
Nice video man, I love sendico!
Thanks buddy! Me too! Gonna try looking at other proxy services to see if they have better rates, but Sendico is fantastic! Cheers my dude!!
I shouldn’t laugh, but I could see your soul leave your body when you opened each package. All worked out in the end as most of these were fixed in later videos :)
great video homie! I'm waiting for my box to be dispatched from sendico haha. I bought a wee bit too much so I got bodied by shipping.
Thanks AP! Nice man! What did you end up getting? Any sweet deals?
Keep em' coming
Will do! Cheers!
Wow! I think I should have you order me a "junk" PC Engine GT haha. 2 for 2. Amazing. I gotta get on that Sendico... Can't wait for the Cap video 👍
Haha, for sure dude! Get em while they’re hot!! I’m very excited for the re-cap video! Want to make these run and look like new!! Cheers Gabriel!!
ouch the gameboys where not cheap,great video as always.loving these unboxing videos
Thank you Lee!! Totally agree, wasn’t too thrilled the the gameboy lot. So glad you like the unboxing videos! I’ll be sure to do some more. Thanks again, as always for your feedback buddy! Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions unboxings are always fun too watch as you never know what condition things can be in when you order them.keep up the great work
Couldn’t agree more! It can be pretty exciting!
I have been hooked on Sendico since your last video, my wallet hurts, but it's worth it!!
Haha! Sorry about that buddy, my wallets been a lot lighter since I started using them too. But like you said, totally worth it! Cheers buddy!
Another steal for that PC Engine GT, congratulations! Are you going to mod one of them with a modern screen?
I would love to put a modern lcd in it but unfortunately at the moment the only kit available requires significant modification to the shell. I hope that a new kit comes out that is reversible. Since these consoles are getting rather rare I want to keep them in mint condition. I will be making a video on the Pc Engine soon!! Cheers buddy!
I’ve had really good luck with Saturns on eBay lately, bought a nice Japan Grey Saturn for the Fenrir ODE and it just happened to have the video card in it. I sold the video card and basically paid myself back for the Saturn. Then I ordered an untested US Saturn, worked great but with a dying laser. Replaced the CD drive with my leftover one from the Japanese unit, worked great. Sold it for a little profit and restored a Saturn for someone to enjoy in the process. Now I’ve got another one with a bad laser, and I’m gonna try to replace on my own. Lightning can indeed strike a few times!
That’s awesome Cody! Sounds like you made some awesome finds! Whoa, the video card is super rare, it’s for playing v-cds right? I’m a huge fan of the Saturn! One game I really want to play is deep fear! I have the Japanese version of the game but have been looking for the PAL version since it’s in English. Cheers buddy! Thank you for sharing your retro hunting experiences!
Macho Nacho Productions if you want an ODE to try out those games while you hunt for them or to protect your discs, I absolutely love my Fenrir. It works beautifully and was super easy to install! Thanks for such high quality videos! I enjoy watching
Thank you Cody, you are most welcome! Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to look into the Fenrir ODE! I just got an ODE for my Dreamcast. Going to make a video about it soon! Cheers dude!
I love unboxings! Sendico can get pretty addicting fast. I had to take a break from it, passing up on some pretty good auctions 😭. I just wish they had a different system that did not require you to deposit money ahead of time. Sometimes you dont win the only auction you had your eyes and you've already "pre-paid". I find that frustrating 😅
Totally agree! I understand why they do it, but it would be nice non the less. Would love to hear what deals you got!
My chanel is proof you Are right💀
Hey Tito!!! I don’t get the love for the PC engines but I never heard of them before. Maybe if I would have had one growing up or a friend did I’d be more into them.
It’s a great console! You should def check out the games. Cheers!
I wonder how this compares to zenmarket or from Japan or White Rabbit Express
Question.. Did that Gameboy work when plugged in? Or did you only try with the batteries?
That’s a great question! I need to plug em and in and check. Should have done that in the video. Cheers!
Nice video. I just started at sendico but I’m being overbidded constantly by some automatically proxy bidders. Any ideas how to avoid those and win the auctions???
I definitely recommend going in with a budget in mind. You don’t want to spend more than you want. I recommend not bidding until the auction is very close to ending. Sendico/yahoo bidding is a bit different than eBay in that time gets added to the clock when you bid close to the end. It just comes down to waiting for the right auction. I was constantly getting outbid on pc engine LTs but finally got one. It took about a year. I don’t know if that was helpful but best of luck dude!
@@MachoNachoProductions Thank you so much. So do you mean you also got a pc engine yourself after a year, or....?
Does Sendico charge the consolidation fee per order? I kind of got carried away and bought a couple of things and haphazardly through everything into a single parcel. 😅
Regardless, great video Sendico is really dope.
I believe that is correct. You should only incur that fee once.
You did the right thing! Consolidating as many things into one order is the best way to spread the all the fees over multiple items.
Hope you got some great deals! Cheers buddy and happy New Years!
Do you not have to pay custom fees?
Samo tako nastavi Tito
Thank you Witchboy Music! Will do! Cheers!
Hey After you mod those gba with new ips what is the sale price?
Not sure if I’ll be selling, but I might. I’ll definitely let everyone know. Thank you for asking! Cheers Adner!!
Btw great video
The uboxing was sweet but not gonna lie if you can't get those other Gameboy running then that lot was a horrible deal lol
I know! Fingers crossed I can get them all to work. I think I should be able to. Game Boys are very robust!
I enjoyed the video, but the prices are beyond eBay/store. A working good condition GBC costs 35-40€ here on eBay and you can find one for 25€ if you search a little. Same for the other Game Boys. I would pay $15 for junk Game Boys inside a lot or $20 at most.
Very true. For the condition and what I paid, I wasn’t super thrilled. I’m still hoping to get them up and running though! Cheers DP!
@@MachoNachoProductions On the bright side, now you have more Game Boys, which is great. Did you consider using another forwading service with a better Yen-Dollar rates? Seeing as your purchases get into the hundreds of dollars. I used From Japan once and it was okay.
For sure!! Always great to have extras!
I’ll definitely try another site to see if they have better rates. Haven’t heard of From Japan, will have to check them out. I’m going to look at Zen Market and Buyee soon. Cheers!
@@MachoNachoProductions There used to be an independent forwarder run from the CheapAssGamer forums with really cheap fees but it closed down (the bidding was manual so it had restrictions). An alternative must be somewhere. It would should work best with you since you bid on few auctions at a time.
I’ll definitely have to do some research. I used to listen to CAG podcast all the time! I should get back into it, haha!
pc engine gt is rad, ive always wanted to put a raspberry pi inside of one but i cant bring myself to destroy such a cool piece of hardware
That would be such a cool mod! But I'm like you and I want to preserve the original hardware. I kinda want to do the LCD mod but I can't bring myself to hack up the shell to fit it in, haha. Cheers Kyle!
The Japanese idea of "Junk" is very different from ours.
Haha very true Lou! Their definition of junk is definitely an overstatement. Cheers buddy!
Damn, now I want a pc engine
They are very awesome! Super unique! Cheers bud!
Where is Elliot?
He can be found at The Retro Future! Cheers!
After spent a whole month browsing through yahoo auction, I can asure you there are no deals on it. Everything sold at a fair price there, just too many people bid on the popular stuff. Even trashed condition pcengine gts fetch hefty prices.
Agree, it’s getting tougher finding good deals. My gameboy lot wasn’t the greatest. The PC Engine GT auctions I’ve had some pretty good luck. I think the prices I paid were very good. I think game boys and Nintendo in general are very popular unfortunately. Cheers buddy!
@@MachoNachoProductions I actually got a boxed wii u for 35 USD a while back, so there are good deals to be had just not in the gameboy/PCE GT/realm at the moment lol
Hope we get some deals in the future! Fingers crossed!
Battery contacts literally take 30 seconds to clean. Just some baking soda and water. Its not a big deal. You are over dramatizing it.
Don't worry mate, just message me on IG and sell me one of your backlit DMG's and that will recover some of your cost!
I may have to take you up on that Makoy, haha! Cheers buddy!!
@@MachoNachoProductions At least I would know it had been modded properly haha, as I said, just message me if you get one too many in your collection!
Haha, will do buddy!!
