Come on, Bretty, this was clickbait and you know it. MJR's video was nothing to do with this, and he only got hits on his video because he put Kelsey on the thumbnail. It's the only way he can get hits, these days, for someone on nearly a million (mostly dead) subs.

Quite a few places purposely don't mark prices on games as they fluctuate so much, so they just pull out their phone and look on eBay for the price. Which is also annoying as they never check what the games actually sold for, any idiot can think their copy of Duck Hunt is worth a million dollars and stick it on eBay for that price. It'll never sell, but these sellers assume thats what they go for.
I hate when games aren't priced. But one that really gets on my nerves was a gaming store in Gt. Yarmouth. The games were priced, but there was a sign saying "ask for prices". But when you ask, the guy checked ebay straight away.
Saw both MetalJesus's vid a little while ago and this one and I'm 100% with ya. The story of your experience though where they had to keep looking in the back? Give me a break. I'm no store owner but it's common sense, if you're looking to sell something, make sure your customers um. KNOW YOU HAVE IT. My #1 biggest pet peeve is definitely when nothing is priced and they have to look it up. This one situation I ran into in particular, at Capital Games in Gahanna OH (oops I said their name! tough shit) was especially ridiculous. Had the majority of their stuff unpriced, and every time I would ask how much they are asking, they did not even TRY to hide the fact that they were literally looking it up on Ebay right there in front of me and then marking up the price 30-50%. I'm surprised they're even in business.
The worst thing that happened to me was when I first started collecting, I was buying a game which was complete in box for what I though was a good price for it. I take it up to the counter, they take out the loose game and sell it to me for what it would cost complete because apparently the box and manual were for display only.
A few months ago I was looking at games for sale at a bookstore near me and there was a copy of Ogre Battle 64 which was behind a glass case separate from the other Nintendo 64 games. I could not see the price because there was no sticker on it which most of the other games had.

I have had happen twice. Once was a copy of Glib on the Southside of Pittsburgh. The other was an SMS Model 2 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Of course, this does not count the chain similar to the one you described which operated like that - cases for display not for game sale.
I had a thing recently where I was in this retro game store and I picked up a game off the shelf that was priced at $20.When I got up to the counter, some dweeby cashier (couldn't have been older than 18-20) tried to pull a bait and switch and said "Sorry, my guy. That game is worth $47 according to our list."
First point is because making a sign that says "Display only, not for sale" and keeping it behind a glass case falls under the category of 'work' and apparently the Beverly Hills Brat has inspired many retro gaming store owners.
Totally agree with you on this - I've seen several recent videos here in the UK looking at stores, and they all had special/collector's items on display that were not labelled as NOT FOR SALE. It would frustrate and upset me too.
There was a local store that was like that for me, where they had some stuff behind the counter, they would just not sell it all, because it was meant to be decorative and what not. However, I did be friend the owner of that store and they ended up selling me a jvc X’eye that was among that stuff.
Great video and all very true! It's funny how so many retro game stores all do the same cringe things! I'll never forget about 10 years ago walking into a retro game store in Rochester NY, the dude would look up every game on ebay to get the pricing to quote from. He then says how all the games in one section were all lower cost games and he didnt both pricing from that shelve. he literally had a NES Bonks adventure (loose) in that section for $25. of course i bought it. just wild
we all need to put things into perspective and yeah i love retro games but arguing about things that aren't for sale its not worth it. Lets just respect the shop owners wishes because at the end of the day its his business
Retro games are collectibles who's prices fluctuate every day. EVERY video game store should price games when brought to the register, PERIOD. It makes ZERO sense to keep outdated prices on games when the price fluctuates EVERY DAY. Maybe when Pink Gorilla has as many games on hand as my store does, she'll understand that you are LOSING MONEY by pricing games in advance. I don't have the time to recheck the prices on over 500,000 used games every week to keep up with the fluctuations. Think about that before complaining that a store looks up a price for you.
Jared I seen the video when your father yelled at you through the door when he said, "you're not a real man!" I agree with your father. Have you considered finding a job instead of leeching off mom and dad?
Metal Jesus is a such a poser. I know more about video games and heavy metal music than him. Dudes a cartoon character. Not a real gamer. Definitely not a real metal head. 😂

All good things to add to the conversation. I’ll probably do a second video and include a few of these. 👍
Sweet!

I had someone do that with an Atari 2600 cart, no idea how they came up with such a large price (probably looked at ebay)
Stores with super loud music are annoying.
Agree with you 100%. Restaurants, too, especially.

I don’t think stores should have “mini museums” either. If you want to run a museum open a museum. It’s a store to buy things. It’s so annoying.
I always hated Gamestop policy of charging full price for a game whose case was used for display.

I quit watching him when he asked for money to help him with home Repair...
@@74bobby Ah yes, that time when he already had home insurance, yet still asked his simps to give him money by dropping his Patreon link in there.
When I find a store that doesn't display prices I walk away.
I have had happen twice. Once was a copy of Glib on the Southside of Pittsburgh. The other was an SMS Model 2 in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Yeah the "That's not for sale" thing is quite annoying

I don’t like when they have a row of stuff for sale sitting next to a row of stuff that’s not for sale, but it looks like it’s for sale!
Not for sale = not getting my business

Oh so many annoying things about stores and conventions! Where do I start. Lol
Lmao
The annoying music at my local retro gaming store is almost enough to not want to be inside.
Good one for sure
That is because you are a dork.

Lack of used game stores is my biggest annoyance.

You seem like one of the people that drive retail workers insane. Completely exhausting 🙄
Lol
Metal jesus politics, have not forgotten his radical guest orange man trauma.
you look dead inside dude. maybe go outside.
I’m just old. I go outside a lot. 😜

His name is so disrespectful you can tell he is trying way to hard to be cool.
I.ll tell u whats annoying...........
