Would love to see the listed price for everything he brought in. Easily double the credit from the few items we did see. I get trying to run a business, and the fact that some of those items may be negotiated down, but this seemed a bit aggressive.
It’s so good to see someone who both has a passion for their collection and a respect for other collectors can’t wait to see what else you get in future videos
The krang with no vein color is the one that came with the android body. That’s the difference. The one with the blue veins is the one that came out with the original line. While the No veins all pink one is the original one to come with the body. I got one for Xmas back in the day and vividly remember noticing that and even mentioning it to my parents.
5 screw games by a certain time were stopped because I think it was easier for people to swap out the game boards, then return a more expensive game with a board of less expensive game. Of course stores and Nintendo caught on, and Stores changed their return policy and Nintendo changed the cart set up that required a special tool to open the cart.
I was thinking the same thing. People can really get obsessive about minor differences. I guess if one has the money then go for it, but I'd rather get the cheaper variant, and use the rest of the money for something else.
I love how we collect all of these things that make us so happy. But when we die our families are going to have to deal with selling our crap that they could care less about. lol!😂
If you’re a collector of anything and then move, it all makes sense. When I moved I released collecting old stuff is crazy. I sold all of my stuff & haven’t looked back.
I been collecting retro since 2008 when I got my first part time job. And the thought of paying $1200 more for extra screws just seems so bizarre to me.
Can say the same about alot of collection things. Coins oh a of weird mark on the coin. Cards has small misprint. Rarity is what collecting is all about.
The chap got severely short changed at this trade-in. The shop keeper should have given him way more for all these retro items. And all for a game. Ridiculous.
Wild rewatching these from the beginning. He bought the cart many episodes ago for 500. Then gets 300 bucks plus that entire toy collection in exchange. Thats one hell of a flip.
The time to sell and ship those games should be considered as well but yes I do agree with you on this to a certain extent. Should have just been a straight trade
It takes time to sell all of that, there's a reason he's bringing it all in instead of selling it himself and bringing the cash from it. The value is in the instant money, it could take literal years to sell everything and get their money back
Such a win of a trade for you. You get rid of an item there is probably an amount of buyers for that you could count on your fingers and toes, and get 2x the value in quick flip items
I hate to say this, but at this point you could 3D print a new 5 hole case and put the label on it lol. I used to be so fanatical about a massive physical collection; but the multicarts you can get for $30 online now really eliminated the need to horde them all.
My 2 older sisters and I spent a lot of time playing this at out Dads on the weekends , there was a good spot on the couch right under the lamp. Good times.
Think of how many hours it would take to sell all of that stuff individually, then multiply those hours by your hourly wage, and you'll understand why it can be beneficial to sell to a store.
@@Fast_Travel_Gamer Blasphemy. Ha ha of course, I was just implying that it is not always the best option to trade in at a store but for convenience yes it is a popular option.
Upon first glance I thought that was T&C Surf Designs which was another fun LJN Nintendo game that I probably would’ve traded my collection for. So many childhood memories.
I have that game in box somewhere in storage...I had no idea there were variants....now I must go dig it out of my unit and see if I have some gold...lol
The 3 inch gi Joe's was the greatest thing from my childhood, I've went back and started collecting since 4 years ago, I've amassed nearly the entire ninja force in mint, and various others from the 80s and 90s. The ninja was my favorite. I have the comics alongside them that also match from the various sagas.
that’s over 100 % mark up. They pay around 60 to 70% of the valve ( 70% if it’s credit ) , so mark it up around 30 / 40% to sell it around market price. so it’s more like $1300 they will make from that.
50 to 60% mark up is reasonable depending on size of store etc as employees need paying and other stuff like rent (unless you own building out right), and keeping the customers cold/warm , keeping the place clean etc.
Those toys were such a blast from the past!!! I need to make my way over to my parents house and ask them to see all my old toys up in the storage room.. Can't imagine what gems I have up in there.
Buyer seems like a nice, sincere guy. I'm a little scared for him that the price for a lot of this nes stuff, especially stuff like games with extra screws, could come crashing down at some point.
I recently sold my childhood TMNT's and Krangs robot came with the completely pink mold so that one should stay inside the body and the Krang brain that was purchased separately resembles the actual cartoon more so by giving it the blue veins.
I don't know how people afford this hobby anymore. The prices for some games have gone crazy. I'm so glad I'm an Atari 2600 guy. At least that market hasn't gone nuts yet.
$900 in store credit... man I think this guy should have just said hey Retro Rick I'll give you $1200 cash or I'll give you all this amazing stuff worth $2500+ for it instead... All or nothing though. I bet Rick would have said deal and gave him that rare game straight up for that trade in had it been presented like that.
DUDE 👀You and your "Retro" shirts!! I had the SAME exact 93' Bulls Championship t-shirt back in the day! So crazy to think any of these shirts from 20, 30+ years ago are still wearable or even around to wear. I know most of mine were "well worn" and eventually thrown out or donated. Who would've thought someone in the future would want your old "out-of-style" t-shirts! Or that they would be worth hundreds of dollars!!! Crazy🤪
See, this is what gaming is all about. $1200 copies of games which should be in a trash can, but aren't, simply because they have 5 screws. Everyone broke this hobby so many years ago lol.
“I’ve changed my mind. I’d like to buy all my stuff back.”
“That will be $5000 please.”
Yup that is capitalism
That is a recycle store. You pay for the convenience of getting rid of stuff you don't want.
Should’ve been an even trade. You know no one else is gonna buy that 5 screw Gotcha! cart. Those toys and collectibles will be gone fast.
All I am thinking is 'why is that not in a plastic case?' like even a cheap plastic case.
Rick’s employees obviously Hate him…
Lol I thought the same thing they’re envious 😂
Cause he's an obnoxious culture vulture
Where do you see that?
Only $900 in trade in? Should have just called it even!
100%

Definitely lol
$1200 for a loose cart? No box no nothing? I hope they at least tossed in a free dust cover with it.
There's ones worth more then that...
I get business but damn yall be ripping these fools off...900.00 for all that smh

That man got ripped off badly… The store will make double of that game’s value from that stuff.
I hate when companies put their stickers on carts.
Goo gone
Yep it's dumb put it in a 5 cent protection case than put the sticker
At least it wasn't on the label. Depending on the company, they may use soft stick price stickers, which come off easily.
Should a $1500 cartridge not be loose with a sticker on it? Maybe put it in a case or at least put some kind of fucking protection on it
Ikr retro dick dont care as long as he rios the guy off tbh
1200 more because it has 5 Screws 😂😂 what the hell is going on
assuming rarity, only a handful exist etc

Based on rarity
It's crazy. Maybe less than 100 people even care in the world
You see, it's not really that for me. I get it and I appreciate actual rare items but it's about having all of something. In my case, the N64

5 screws on the back of a cart that NOBODY can see? Ok.. thats dumb
Yup its the dumb ppl who pay that stupid amount and are reason games are high price. And none em are worth it tbh
The chap got severely short changed at this trade-in. The shop keeper should have given him way more for all these retro items. And all for a game. Ridiculous.
When Rick said It's a sickness in the most honest way I pooped my pants a little. Earth shatteringly true!
The guy should of went to toy federation would of got a lot more trade value than $900……
5 screws variant😂 what an interesting hobby
Man trades his ENTIRE collection for a game... for his nes collection set. Entire means everything 😆 🤣 😂 Man trade in random stuff towards nes game 👍

He’s not really trading for 1 game, he’s trading for his complete NES collection.
I have to say off the bat your beard was on fleek today.
The GI Joes are where the value is at. Those He Men aren't very old and are worth the price marked.
Dude reminds me of Kevin Smith. Seems like a cool guy.
Yo, it just seems like gamers and collectors are some of the nicest and most fun types to be around!
I love those TMNT skateboards SO MUCH.
!Oh yeaaah yeaaah yeaah! Rick's high pitch squicks
I like to think that lunchbox and thermos were sold together, and parted ways long ago only to now be reunited forever.
How do the percentages work for the store, he trades in for $900 - shop marks that up for $2700? Is that about right
that’s over 100 % mark up.
They pay around 60 to 70% of the valve ( 70% if it’s credit ) , so mark it up around 30 / 40% to sell it around market price.
so it’s more like $1300 they will make from that.

Man I need to see if my parents still have that skateboard and my old toys.
Favorite part of video:”This one has blue veins”
keeping the krang you already put a store pricetag on? 🤭
Damn my boy didnt sanitize shit...he just tossed tags on it lol
Awesome… twos videoed this week… thank you Rick.
I like the "okayy..." guy
Buyer seems like a nice, sincere guy. I'm a little scared for him that the price for a lot of this nes stuff, especially stuff like games with extra screws, could come crashing down at some point.
That krang is priced to sell Rick 😂
I never even knew this variant existed. Pretty cool.
I can just see anyone who wanted that skateboard watching the video...
"GET THE CAR! NOW!"
You need to upload more Rick, I love the videos
as a customer I'd be pissed if I had to peel off those giant stickers, especially on a cardboard box
How are those stickers suppose to come off of paper/cardboard packaging?! X_X;;;;
Seems somewhat close to 50% trade credit for the toys which is really good for toys imo.
That Ultra Magnus and Krang are gorgeous.
Nice hit of nostalgia to see Silverhawks and Bravestar. They don't seem to be as popular of a franchise.
Poor Will you’ll be running things one day buddy 👍
I cringe when I see a game with that kind of price tag being handled while not in a protective case. The OCD is real folks.
Damn, I feel bad for that guy haha. Traded away his childhood toys
This my friends is what you call a legal robbery

How does one trade their entire set to get a title for their NES set. I don't think that logic is possible?
