Man, I feel your pain on buying consoles in unknown condition. I buy a ton of consoles from Goodwill and some work, while others don't. I've fixed many of them up, but some I just have to cut my losses and sell cheaply to recoup some of the money. The parental locks on Xbox 360s are still possible to bypass if you have a Microsoft account. I'm not sure about Xbox One and newer though.
My worst ripoff was actually from a store. I got a copy of Chrono Trigger that did not work, and they claimed that since I got it with credit, that they only do swaps for the same game. They claim that they haven't gotten a copy in since that time... That was 2015.
I enjoyed this video, thanks. The shitty negative comments are weird though. You are all clearly making a killing on the stock market, sat on YT being critical of this video? Hope you can shift some of that junk, JBob!
Man you have the most youtuber voice of all time. I could literally link like 5 channels that have the same exact voice as you. How does that make you feel
Why not carry a testing kit with you when you go. Binder w/ disc sleeves of known working cheap sports games, 1 for each platform. A small display that can take composite signal via a cheap retrotink. An inverter or battery pack. Some spare cables etc.
I have all the broken stuff and games but I specialize on my psp and Sony retro junk that’s hard to get rid of especially without controllers or anything 😂
Semi successful eBay reseller here, it can be hard but you should've been done your homework on everything pictured here, I mean extensive stats and sales research using their Product Research tool if you don't wanna do it manually. Yes local logistics are somewhat helpful but it's not the make or break like the internet marketplace is. I wouldn't count on repairs to turn a profit unless it's a Sega Saturn or something rarer.
Sure, if you can find someone that still wants a Sega Saturn that hasn't gotten it within the last 20 years. My local game store has been trying to sell a copy of Resident Evil for Saturn for over 2 years now
Appreciate the honesty. I think most people try to hide their losses and shameful purchases and try to pretend that winning is the norm.
Do the entire world a favor, just throw out all the sports games and all the Just Dance games.
I do throw out a lot of stuff that comes in lots. Herb Alpert records are my favorite to trash.
@@jbobthevideogameslob9250Good cases are always useful.
AH, the rare Gears of War 3 PS2. That is a hard one to find.
#RareVariant lol
That is the all time best YT channel name ever. Also for all 2600’s always go for the single biggest solder improvement: a TRACO TSR-1 2450.

All shops around me sell complete working ps1, ps2, xbox, nes, snes for $90 and under. Disc replay, and game world are my favorite.
if the lasers are broken just mod it and load up 100's of games on there. Problem solved.

this is what poverty looks like in a nutshell

Wow dude you have been doing this a long time. You were way ahead of the curb.
Hmm, you need to knock there asking prices down, i bought mint ps2 for £25 on marketplace, $80 for untested is steep.
To be fair all ur inventory is generic crap

@@frankvonfraunerHaha, just an example, and it’s debatable whether that store is trying to sell that game
I stay away from buying consoles… unless absolutely they work…
i need one of those ps1s in the bucket , not the rectagle but the smaller one, hit me up!
is... that all u have?
why not just invest in the stock market?
You accumulate trash in your house. Sell all your game console and video games go buy bitcoin.

its not easy bud. you gotta be very selective. perhaps even just specialize in a specific genre. wish you all the best jbob
