      @@PhoenixResale it's reselling in general. It's also bad business practice on behalf of these types of companies. A physical in-store classic/pre-owned game will never sell for as much as the same product online because of the perception of the buyer. The physical stores should be where you can find something at a regular, or bargain, price, instead of the inflated collector's price.

    Look for H seams on sealed NES games. Essentially that goes for SNES, Gameboy, etc... Should be a seam all the way across the back connecting the 2 side seams and basically forming the letter H... Hence the term "H Seam". There are some instances where games don't have an H Seam... Some N64 games have overlapping seams.

    I like buying imports and I try to find the cheapest price before make a decision, but I say this when I paid almost $200 for both Atelier Ryza games (not including all the paid dlc in eshop) and $30 for Peachball on Amazon. Paid $80 for japanese version of DOA Extreme 3 Scarlet as well. What i dont get tho is why Kill La Kill is so cheap. Its rare and its actually a decent fighting game. If havent played it i suggest trying out the demo on eshop, but if ever find in stores your lucky. As for switch physical prices i dont mind paying over $60 if its an import or collectors edition.

      Nah. Doing that for every product each time it came into the store would be a nightmare. Unless it's something particularly well known or popular they probably just slap a price onto it.

    I would've bought ju on the grudge! I saw a sold listing for 120$. So the price they were asking for in there wasn't bad at all.

    And this is why you don’t buy games from Amazon and you just go to your local game stores and get much better prices and not get scammed. xD

      Yeah people who buy on Amazon have more money than sense and are unwilling to hunt and just buy off pure convenience which is the type of people this guy is willing to exploit. It's truly disgusting and why I no longer collect because people like him are pricing normal collectors out of the hobby.

    Any Working Designs PS1/PS2 game is worth money b/c they were quality localizers of Japanese games, & all of their games had small print runs.

    Kinda salty you didn’t buy that Ocarina of time Gray Cart 🥺 (couldn’t see the price so I’m sure it was probably over priced or at resale value)

    I live in Etown. This place is quite nice. I've been in there a couple times.

    Awesome as always, but I have a question? How long, on average, does it take for a game or accessory to sell on Amazon? The main thing that keeps popping in my head is, if it takes a month or two to sell, how much does amazon current selling price hold? What is the worst rating you pickup. Chase and others have mentioned above 20,000 they won't touch it unless the purchase price is super low (example, the $1 non complete game you picked up). Keep up the great work, love the content!

      Chase wouldn’t say that, I try to stay under 40k. At 20k you’re going to leave behind lots of profit. And prices don’t tend to change that much within a few months
