    You were totally right to leave that pawn shop that called you a liar. That’s one of the things I hate the most. Don’t ever call me a liar when I’m telling the truth. I would have been done too. Not supporting that guys store.

    I'm pretty sure it was either you or someone else that went into that same pawn shop @23:45 a year or two ago and it was the same story. Guy sitting right next to the door and being told you can't record as soon as you set foot inside as well as the employee hassling them. I'm almost 100% certain it was the same place because of the ugly red building. Places like this get a reputation and people avoid them regardless of what they have.

    I remember when the PS3 came out and my buddy sold me his whole PS1 Game collection so he could buy the PS3. It was around 340 games for only $600; which took me to about 500 games in my collection. Sadly when i came back from college and moved cross country my parents sold all my games i left behind in a garage sale. I was completely pissed as i had them organized and boxed for storage. I had well over $15,000 in that collection at todays numbers; i think i was handed $200 from my parents saying they listed them for a dollar each, and they kept a fair share.. live and learn.

    I'll be honest, I have had very little luck with pawn shops in my state. Either they have a TON of stuff, but price it via Google Lens or eBay comps (which is fine, don't get me wrong at all.) or they have the same 15 Madden games you see at every yard sale. Prime example, I visited a pawn store in Hampton, VA that was STACKED to the gills with great stuff. But the prices were above eBay comps on every game, console and accessory. Guy was great to deal with.. but those prices were hard to swallow. And even buying in volume there was no price break. Again, that's how that business runs and I don't begrudge them that.... I just run my business differently and see things differently.

    I was so into the Gamecube gambit and was invested in watching them all. It kinda fell of for me after seeing these new collections just to be resold. In the GC gambit you made it seem like you were emotionally attached only for them to be gone later on lol. Im a reseller as well, and understand the process. But for some reason these dont hit as hard. But hey its your choice, just expressing how I feel

      I have to agree here. I totally respect the hustle of reselling - it is not easy. I did feel like the emotional aspect of the Gamecube series was ripped away from the audience once he so quickly sold everything. It made the whole project seem very disingenuous. The newer "collection" series are just more of the same. I'd rather see videos of the sourcing/selling process instead of fake, contrived collection videos being put out.

Most expensive game sold off was PS2 SMT NCOTURNE with SG for about 200. I had Grandia new as a gift for about $30-40. 3 copies of Xenogears, which Im sure was recommended
