Unless you factor in time-value decrease/increase and then sell it for $750 in two years. If you have the inventory space and have made those calcs, it can totally be worth it
For a business you have to buy things that move. You can’t have money just held up sitting. He has to keep the business rolling. Like he said, without money he can’t pay for the light bill or his employees payroll. As nice as it is to have potential value in an item if it will just sit there it’s not a smart business move. I’d rather buy two items with a smaller profit margin that I know will sell than one item with a larger profit margin that won’t. The wheels gotta keep turning.
As a business 10% of your stock needs to be show pieces to reel in the customers. Even if you don’t sell it, the customer would buy something else. So think of it as marketing + advertising
That Frogger game it seems is the super rare variant of it, not a lot of of information out there, but someone did run into your issue back in February, I found a similar Reddit post with that exact variant asking for information on it. It was selling for $250 minimum before, if it's that rare can't imagine it got any cheaper.
Not a bad move at all on your part business-wise. Something is only worth what another person is willing to pay for it. If it's sitting for a while and not selling (regardless of "value) it makes sense to trade for something that you know will sell. Thanks for the content man.
There are no cool, retro gaming stores near me since I moved to Eastern Canada, Calgary had a couple. Anyway, I always appreciate watching your videos and seeing your up lifting spirit and friendly smile. If I’m ever in the area you bet your last CIB game I’ll stop in.
We were just there this past Saturday, Will and Christina both helped us. We must have just missed you. We were traveling from Houston to Branson and stopped in on the way. We found some really cool stuff, especially a Smash Bros. Zelda amiibo in the package my daughter had been looking for. Awesome staff, keep up the good work guys!
Love your videos man! I plan on eventually coming through and seeing the store. I just gotta save up for a trip. But I’m so happy and proud of where you are now. Congrats man. Also, please do the dyeing your hair and beard thing! It looks neat!
@@retroricksgamepoint I live about 2 hours away in muldrow Oklahoma and want to trade in some stuff just wondering how your prices for trade ins are compared to gamexchsnge and GameStop
@@KeepiTrillthe guy had a box only, Rick already had the white ps3 but no box, so I doubt he didn't get it lol. Who knows what all goes down we don't see.😂
I'm new to the channel and have spent this week binging a couple of thr videos here and there and finally kept up. Absolutely love this contest of showing the stuff that goes on at your game store. I'd love to come by one day and do a video it would be a blast. Keep up the good work at the store!
Frogger 3D with case. I was the 3DS Guy with a complete CIB collection. $200+ is what I paid, the case is what makes it crazy hard to find. Hardest of the special editions for me to find. BUT very small market that has that kind money for it. I've moved onto 100% Amiibo collecting now.
I know its not the most popular console but I do like hearing about the Original Xbox. It's the main console I collect for and some of their games can be pricey. Would love to see more if you ever get them in!
Boxed consoles to me are kind of a weird thing because if you’re going to be playing it I don’t see why you would even want one with the box to just sit around, I guess people like them just for display maybe
@@retroricksgamepoint probably a good pass. The rest of those games aren’t really giant poster in someone’s game room worthy. I still have my childhood gradius game. Has always been one of my favorites
Jaguar is really a niche market. I have had almost every console in the 90s and I never had a Jaguar. Very few friends had it. Better to buy a "portfolio" of consoles and games.
The Frogger 3D bundle is a super rare variant bundle of the normal game. I have very little info on them as for why or where you bought the bundle, but I know there are a few sold comps I've seen on eBay, that were around the 230-300 dollar range. Though take this with a grain of salt because its been a couple months since I've stopped following this variant on eBay and such, and the market has fluctuated. It was listed as a be on the look out in a couple of video's I've watched. No idea why its so rare my guess is just low demand for the game in general, but that sucks since its one of the cooler 3ds bundles and we didn't get very many official cases/shells.
After a little more digging, It looks like it wasn't for any special event or celebration, it was just a limited edition. It seems that they made very limited numbers of these or no one bought any and they're all sitting in a warehouse or back store room. They hardly show up on ebay and even using picclick you can only find a couple. One showed up on mecari for a lower price of 220, but then was removed. I expect that the seller was the same as the listing on ebay that went up around the same time that had a higher price and someone purchased that so they took it down. I was a little hesitant to say they were the same because both cardboard had differing enough damage that they could be different copies, but it also could've been damaged in-between the pictures taken for the listing. I have never seen one of these go up for sale sealed. I don't know if it came with one of the circle seals the big box games usually have or if it was an open outer box.
I can’t believe the only thing he has is that easily climb-able scissor gate thing at the front of the store. If someone is stupid enough to break the glass they as stupid enough to climb it. You need some hardcore armored protection for the hundreds of thousand of dollars worth of stuff you have in there!
@@TrevM0nkey I don't agree with that logic, "because someone could possible find a weakness in something, you might as well not try" I think that doesn't make much sense. Of course there is someone out there that can find a way around any problem or barrier, but the more you do the higher skill of entry you require.
We have the gate and a 30 second guaranteed response from the police station that is literally across the road from us if a thief busts through the glass, finds a way to get over all while triggering the alarm instantly. They have 0 chance...which is a good feeling for us!
@@retroricksgamepoint Oh sweet! I had no idea about the proximity to police station. That’s fantastic :) It was just something that stuck out to me because my favorite local shop here in Georgia has had their glass smashed 2-3 times and getting insurance to reimburse them was a nightmare.
This is 100% the right move, it doesn’t matter if you paid $5 for an item that’s “worth” $1000 if no one buys it.
True, glad he was happy with the deal too!

I would LOVE to see you with that hair dye. It would be so funny :)
The frogger big box has a sold comp on Terapeak for 289.99 USD
Your friend doesn't lie, D-Pad in New Braunfels is a great shop.

Oh I’m so In
Dude the most badass channel in the Tube! Love it Bro Montana!!!!!
Do it!! Dye the hair 😂
There’s a lady where I live that has storages full of 90s toys that are mostly new in box and is looking to sell all early next year.
Cool story
Those posters are amazing
I know right, we actually didn’t end up coming to a deal on them

There is an article on RUclips about that frogger game it is listed as ultra rare basically means you can ask about what you want for it
70% is good for high end fast moving products that sell in store but run of the mill stuff definitely 30-50% is good for a store.
Do it!!!😂
The X-band wasn't bad... it was amazing.
Do it!
Let’s gooooo!!!!
I want that pip boy 😢
Arkansas picker ended up getting that
