The problem with reselling stuff with very low cost is you need time. If you sell something that makes you 10$ or 100$ you spend the same time to put in online, put it into a box and go to post office. In addition you will need to handle customer service.
If you sell in bulk you will have to reduce price.
How much is your time worth?
Going retro! So awesome 😊😊
Excited for you Chris! Looking forward to this new direction and to see what you find out there in the wild. Good luck
The guy at Frame Chasers is nothing but a ridiculous troll Chris.
Bought alot of games of steam. After watching this channel no more drm games from now on. Chris has a point om this. Too bad people are not anoyed buy this drm bull in thr past 15 years
Initial investment cost MUST be low. Selling stuff sucks these days due to sellers’ fees, shipping cost, and taxes. You really have to hike prices up 3X to see any gains.
Steam et al + DRM is annoying as fudge... But I also remember all the weird codes and stuff to type in and questions to answer when I just wanted to play a game (Railroad Tycoon was notoriously annoying) I love that GoG is mostly DRM free... there is some with DRM afaik (was some controvercy about it back then)
I do miss having all the boxes for old games (lost everything in a fire in 2006) physical media as good (and bad if you scratched em or needed them in the drive to play) should just be a once check, bind to the hardware and tadaa done... but oh well... games in physical now for pc? doesn't exist and it is sad...
We often get dvds and even boxsets from charity shops for 50p to a pound it's a gold mine out there
Some gems out there in the charity shops, if you know the upsell.
I want to get a retroish PC with disk drive and buy games on disk, I technically already have the PC just don't have the space to set it up atm but once I have my gaming room I will be getting more into it 😁😁
In the beginning you made the best argument for physical media possible. Passing it along to your kids.
Going to be interesting, hope you're not completely abandoning PC hardware.
New stuff is too boring. I’ll still chat with Paul on Techonomics about news and developments, but most pc stuff I’m interested in is pre 2005

Would you be interesting in making a video tutorial on how to burn gog games on blu ray discs to make them look as much as old school genuine original pc games discs?
Damn. You did the best revisit videos of old PC hardware. I appreciate the benchmarks that compared 2nd Gen Client level i7 processors like the 2600k, against 2nd Gen HEDT level processors like the i7-3960x. Those extra two cores really make a difference these days.
That's back when he actually care about retro gaming & not just grifting off of it.
Good on you, Chris! I hope your new endeavor brings you a lot of fulfillment and profit. It certainly sounds more fun than covering the latest Intel/AMD/Nvidia product...
You can do the console stuff up to a certain date, it's all PSN store, nintendos mall and xbox pass right now and from now on, aren't we all better off with raspis and emulators at this point?
im enjoying jedi survivor waited till it was £39 and patched it works and plays great
Good idea with the find and resell. Watched a few vids on *Nic & Andrea Hills* channel. They often picked up boardgames in charity shops. Surprised what people will pay for them when bidding. Also helpful tips on shipping deals, photographing items, dealing with the odd untrustworthy buyer.
For the X-Men BDs, I saw the comic sans and thought "those can't be real"
I like the new direction. I look forward to seeing the hauls. Especially anything first edition and or sealed.
i never understood gift receipts for people to trade something out other than clothing not fitting. The act of somebody going out of their own way, looking through the different options and picking out something for you makes it mean a lot more. I would rather have a color i didn't prefer, picked out as a gift for me, than my perfect ideal color on a shirt
Ever heard of DVD rot?
I've got tens of terabytes of movies.
Ill never lose them,but also ,no dvd...
If one sails certain seas...
Chris into collecting physical content and flipping is the time consuming part but collecting physical content you like in relation streaming is having a real library. mb
It's art. mb
In Japan gamers console and otherwise prefer media all the way back to blue ray, audio CD and vinyl. mb
Chris the really valuable CDs whether audio only and I speculate for games are audio CDs pressed before the Phillips 1981 standard is ratified. Content producers that pressed an audio CD before 1981 standard to say let's go this it is begins in 1979 and there are likely rarer earlier examples and all the Sony published audio CDs for the Sony original CD player. For games I suspect similar examples of game CD validation samples before every next if or that console standard on the industry players pitching for their implementation in and proximate whatever standard was ratified at the time. It's the just before and on the edge games adoption into a new or evolving standard that work on any player knowing that upcoming standard is about to be introduced are the rarities on all the inside trading. Must be let us know. mb
the content meeting standard spec before the standard is ratified are the rare gems on moving the hardware player constituent base on software examples showing they can be pressed and purchased. mb
That was quick!
The last game i buy in steam was in mid 2016 and i believe i will never buy again 😂
I totally agree with you!!! personally I never buy games with drm and microtransactions !! and I think most of the people think like this... this is why game of the year 2022 and 2023 are without any of these useless rubbish's...
Good luck on the new direction!
LoL - if you R-E-A-L-L-Y cared about physical media, OWNING your copy, then you'd be plugging "GOG" (good old games) every time you talk about gaming. You can copy your game, and move it to another PC, especially older titles, if you play them on period correct hardware.
Just an fyi, he plugs "GOG" (good old games) all the time. And for years now. Even in this video at 41:31.
Medal of Honor still works.
Looking forward to this with great interest 🙂
Actually a fun side hustle to make some extra cash or build your collection.
sounds snakeoilsalesmansy, very voyeuristic to keep repeating 'valuable' & 'profitable' like a broken record, don't like your new direction at all
I agree don't like it either just make an second channel for this.
Honestly, at this point modern gaming sucks outside of what the emulation community has been doing, and high-end hyper inflated hardware like NVIDIA's cards are not worth buying when most modern games aren't good or even decently optimized. Even then, NVIDIA still hasn't delivered a $200 GPU that matches PS5 performance, because nickle and diming their consoomer base that will eat literally anything is easier. With stuff like the anti-lag+ situation with AMD, and completely lying about raytracing on Navi 1, they're quickly losing the initial goodwill I had for them.
VR, the only space where I felt like innovation was happening in gaming, likewise is dead thanks to Oculus and Sony (and by extension AAA publishers cashgrabbing), and I sold my Valve Index because the VR content that is available are just shoddy console ports or community mods where the content wasn't designed with it to begin with.
The Japanese market (one of the last places that felt free from most of this stuff outside technical debt) is also dead thanks to them pulling a late 2000's Capcom trying to appeal to a vocal minority of westerners on Twitter that don't even play their games. And yet they still put zero effort into their PC ports, the thing that actually keeps people from playing those games. AAA games are pure nickle and diming schemes at this point. Or cases like Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, Skullgirls, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike 2, and the upteenth Live Service game where they aren't representative of the original game you paid for, and are honestly in a worse state now.
After trying some CRT shaders on RetroArch, and being a bit discouraged by constantly having to go to the PC Gaming Wiki or dealing with subpar results for 3D accelerated games (Like DosBox or 86box, while they're decent for what they are, they can also be pretty demanding), decided to put some money into a CRT monitor and a used PCIE GeForce 6 series GPU, which I plan to use with a Ryzen or current Intel setup with some virtual machine magic to get working without the hassle of dealing with chipset + networking drivers, or old motherboards with bad capacators. Would rather be spending my money on that and stuff like the Steam Deck.
Despite having a midrange gaming PC, and both the PS5 and Switch, and a massive Steam library, I still feel depressed and demoralized.
I wish that collecting Saturn, Dreamcast, and PC Engine games wasn't so painfully expensive, because those have a really solid library, especially with fan translations taken into account. At least a local game store near me is not selling retro consoles at insane prices.
