The story of how one guy contacted a bunch of people at the back of a Nintendo Power magazine who were listed as the winners and allegedly pressured one guy into "guilt selling" is a video in and of itself
@@johnyseimah229 Dude didn't have the money, based on saying if he wins it he'll call his dad to help figure out how he's going to afford it. This is the reason bidding sites restrict people from placing massive bids without considerable evidence they're good for the money they're trying to spend.
Yeah, but one person will bid the amount they assume is the value whether the bid started at $100,000. If they wait the last second someone could bid $500,000- $700,000 just to make sure they buy/ win it, if that’s what they think it’s worth and so they are sure to win it. I’m also sure they are aware other people are waiting the last second to bid, so they go with all they are willing to offer all at once to win.
i've since sold all my NES collection. ( i regret it ) but i had cheetahmen 2 factory sealed mint .. i got it for $400! years ago. i also ebayed a lot of 6 games .. bonk ... flinstones 2 .. wackey races .. jetsons .. zen the intergalactic ninja .. and something else i can't remember all complete.. in one lot for $200!!!!!!!!! the market is so insane nowadays!!! but .. at least i had lots of fun hunting and flea marketing for years with a school friend. the chase was the best part! God bless you Rick and Michael!
just get a gold cart and cut a hole out for the switches, get a gray one then and print out the label. AVGN went over that it was just a glued on print out. I thought like 10 exist.
I might be nuts but for games I have always had the code: buy to play not to display. Having games and cool toys was only fun playing them growing up and now as a father playing them with my son. Also think outside of a poster would you buy your kids something they aren't allowed to enjoy?
@incremri Saw this video late, but I just wanted to say (while I also play the games I buy) there are plenty of things we enjoy by looking at, rather than playing. Posters, as you said, but also family pictures, trading cards (obviously some are games, but some are not), figurines, statues, decorations, etc. Sometimes looking at, admiring, talking about, reminiscing about, something brings you joy. Games are *collectibles* as much as they are *games*, and it's okay to engage with them in either way, one or the other, or both. (but also 150k for a display cartridge like this is insane lol)
Soda cans pop at a fairly alarming rate. (I've got a mountain dew collection that is about 400 cans). Maybe once every 3 months, I hear a pop from my closet. It's loud and alarms the schtit out of me. But it's always just some can losing it's seal. And it's usually somewhere around the pin at the top. That's how you get half full cans. I've got a whole case of voodew that has popped.
That tent basketball hoop is actually a laundry hamper. The whole idea was to shoot your dirty socks etc into the basket. Someone apparently cut the bottom out. I had one of these back in the day.
Iconic Games: Feature popular games from each era, highlighting their impact on gaming culture. Use box art, cartridges, and discs. Game Accessories: Include interesting peripherals like the Power Glove, Nintendo Zapper, or Sega Dreamcast. Playstation, etc.
haha I think you are right. I thought it was foolish to want stadium events in box for 50k after making no profit on the store. But trying to spend 150k on NWC cart because daddy has you covered? He's not buying this stuff as an investment. He's Billy Madison.
Nice Gamecube score! Always good to see you keep up with that console's stock. That Tails statue is pretty cool too. As much as he annoys me in Sonic 2 for Sega, it's nice to see the character to get some love.
"Hello? Dad? My father who worked hard all his life for a comfortable retirement? I need a loan. How much? Maybe a few mill...for what? Umm...there's this Nintendo game I really want. How old am I? What does that have to do with anything?"
I think those museum cabinets should have some sort of background in each. Like find some simple backgrounds and print them on some foam board so there’s some POP and dimension to each. Or just print and glue on foam board. Like that LEGO Mario, it would look nice to have some 8bit background. Know what u mean?😊
The only things I can think of that are rarer than this are the gold Wii Supreme and the Atari Swordquest prizes, of which only one of the five is still confirmed to exist.
was thinking the same thing. after his business breakdown showing hardly any profit and the wild spending. things didn't add up. *wild papa money bags appears*
My top GameCube games: Vexx - better item collection game than Mario Sunshine or any others, imo. F-Zero GX - even today, still my favorite racing game ever. Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 - probably the game I put the most hours into on GameCube. TimeSplitters 2 - great FPS game. TimeSplitters Future Perfect - another great FPS game. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - imo one of the better FF games. Tales of Symphony - a great JRPG. For the museum... Rick will hate me for suggesting this, but my vote is Home Alone. The YT channel one needs to remain. The rest are all video game related. Home Alone just doesn't fit. Granted it does have the most in it, which is all good stuff, but it just doesn't have a video game store feel to it, imo. My second vote option would be The Wizard, but it is at least a movie about someone being a master at playing video games.
Dude you should totally swap out the Lego Mario with the Nintendo world championship cartridge if you get it, and the Nintendo Power Magazine that features it
I held one of these carts back in the day and even played it. A cousin of mine 2 towns over won one of these bad boys. It was sold for 20 dollars because as a game it just wasn't fun to play. Only the winners got a copy so they are much harder to find than the grey carts. I believe there were 22 of these given out and fewer still exist.
Swap Earthbound for Tetris. There’s over 4 decades of games and merch and the Classic Tetris World Championship is coming up and this year was the year somebody beat NES Tetris!
Have a 1990 Nintendo World Championship display in the museum. Get rid of Lego Mario, set up a CRT tv and play a loop of the championship with other displays around it.
How can I buy a Retro t-shirt from the store? I'v emailed and sent messages on FB and nobody every replies. I'm hurt. I just want a "retro" shirt. Please guys. HMU.
That gold NWC cart label -- wasn't it just like a cut out piece of printed paper that was glue-sticked to the front of the cart? It wasn't the high quality label like every factory NES cart hard. It's not hard to picture it falling off.
Like a legitimate none other Holy Grail it would have to have the label to drop that kind of money. Which would make it go up in price but to do it would have to add a label.
No video game is worth that much it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it is what drives up the damn prices but I’m not one of them suckers to do it I got way better things to do with my time and money
When Rick pulled out those Mario Shasta’s I’ve never nostalgia tasted a video more in my life. Forgot about those but instantly could taste that peach can.
you have 150k you didn't drop but I think a cool thing for the store would be the Pokemon Snap Station. Think it would be awesome for customers to buy printing paper to print out their snaps. I know the store is tight with space tho.
Out of curiosity for N64 would you happen to have ( Pokemon Stadium 1 or 2, Mario Party 3, StarFox ) and also for PS2 would you happen to have Dragon Ball Z Budikai 2?
Lego Mario has to go. So much more items can be put in that spot. Lego Mario can be hung from the ceiling or off the rails of the steps. Lego Mario can go just about anywhere.
Rick be careful with the Mario and peach drink cans , the liquid can eventually eat through the can I had this happen with a Batman Mountain Dew can that was unopened and it sorta like leaked out all over where I had the can displayed
You know it be really cool if you did video series saving enough money from profits to get nes track and field or another rare game. I would axe the Lego Mario. There is already so much Mario statues in the store.
I don’t know man. Having a real grey or gold nwc to me is just massive bragging nights. The game itself isnt even that great and it’s dumped playable for free
I'll say that Wata is going to win the WC game. Pat the nes punk said I think and feel that what ever it sale for his WC should and will get 2x or 3x ,because his is better shape
I get that it's rare. But a game for 150k is dumb. Really dumb.
It's not a game! It's an investment! To sell to the next dumb person :)🤣
Especially when it’s not even in great condition.
When no one wins the challenge the money should go into a pool to increase the next challenge fund. Just keep rolling it over.
The story of how one guy contacted a bunch of people at the back of a Nintendo Power magazine who were listed as the winners and allegedly pressured one guy into "guilt selling" is a video in and of itself
This makes me feel poor. I mean 150k would be life changing cash. Life is so imbalanced.
$150k on a video game. Rich people problems. Dang
😂 RUclips pays that good? Crazy lol
@@Krulgrafix I guess not since he was declined lol
@@andrewschilling188 imagine not being allowed to use your own money...

Stop being poor
You should probably axe the Lego Mario. Well done as it is, it's not a museum piece, ya know?
Agreed, plus it’s a bit redundant with the first display being Mario themed. Maybe replace the LEGO Mario with Megaman.
I agree.
Agreed
Agreed.
Came here to say this as well. I'm sure there is a place somewhere to display it! Good luck! Can't wait to see what you add!
Never bid until the last minute and shoot your best offer. Bidding early just gives people time to jack up the price.
Yeah, but one person will bid the amount they assume is the value whether the bid started at $100,000.

Shasta is/was a west coast grocery brand ... Mt. Shasta is in Northern California, Cascades, along with Shasta Lake ...
Respect for owning an in-box Home Alone talking Kevin! I've got one on my shelf as well!
The Home Alone museum section should be put into hibernation mode till winter

Rick is a trust fund baby. It all makes so much sense now!
Kinda figured.
haha I think you are right. I thought it was foolish to want stadium events in box for 50k after making no profit on the store. But trying to spend 150k on NWC cart because daddy has you covered? He's not buying this stuff as an investment. He's Billy Madison.
I mean, his comment doesn’t strike me as “trust fund baby”, it just feels more like “dad who is moderately wealthy from a long career”
@@Cheeseshredder Awww is someone jealous? P.S. It was 150K not 500K, pay attention.
@houtzy450r this is why retro Rick hates Phoenix resale. Phoenix is self made and retro Rick got daddy to help him. All makes sensennow hahahahah
Thats awesome that your father is cool with your hobby and might be willing to help.
One day, Pat the NES punk will just disappear from RUclips and you’ll know that he sold that cart and retired haha
3:31 “Our pets’ heads are falling off!”
This would have definetely been a better edit clip than the kid crying clip lol.
WOW this is the coolest and fullest game store ive seen since 2002.
Definitely rich dad vibes.
really does explain EVERYTHING
well, you could sell your entire game collection and it would cover the cost of the world championships game
Ahh, there it is. Always wondered how you got into all this, bought the store, buy all this stuff. Rich daddy huh? Must be nice!
Get daddy to buy you the nintendo game just like the old days.
lost 78k on the convention but bidding 150k on a game ......
Just started the video hope to finish it by seeing some excitement and joy you deserve it dude!
This is absolutely out of control
A bottle of Heptane off Amazon makes getting those GameStop stickers off a whole lot easier. It helps with the residue as well.
In the museum section I would take out the RUclips award and rotate in something else. Thank you as always for the great content. Never stop gaming!
Nice Gamecube score! Always good to see you keep up with that console's stock. That Tails statue is pretty cool too. As much as he annoys me in Sonic 2 for Sega, it's nice to see the character to get some love.

I think those museum cabinets should have some sort of background in each.

The only things I can think of that are rarer than this are the gold Wii Supreme and the Atari Swordquest prizes, of which only one of the five is still confirmed to exist.
so what did it sell for
Just wanna point out that Baten Kaitos is not $100 is around $35-$40 that listing is of a sealed copy
My favorite thing was Rick’s air guitar and there’s a guitar hero guitar right behind him to pretend with!! Imagination is strong with this one 😂
I think I had that gold one at one time. I remember the funky switch on the cartridge. You never know what you got until decades later lol
That generation III Pokémon trumpets playing in the background 👌🏻
i laugh because the "Daddy" stuff just makes me laugh. I don't think it comes off the way you were hoping.
When he made tge comment about his dad everything makes sense now
was thinking the same thing. after his business breakdown showing hardly any profit and the wild spending. things didn't add up. *wild papa money bags appears*

Wait until your wife sees that your attempting to buy the world's rarest game. She'll do more than be mad at you. I guarantee it Rick, lol XD.

Gamecube Beyond Good and Evil what kind of game is that? And what’s a good price on it
Gotta do a Pokémon museum. It’s video game and franchise history forever!
Rick will never financially recover from this😂
he will his daddy takes care of him
Dude you should totally swap out the Lego Mario with the Nintendo world championship cartridge if you get it, and the Nintendo Power Magazine that features it
Hows the diet going?
3:37
Is that you on KTLA 5?
It looks just like you!

You need to have a game highlight section in the museum. Pick a game franchise and showcase it. Start with the harvest moon series!
Swap Earthbound for Tetris. There’s over 4 decades of games and merch and the Classic Tetris World Championship is coming up and this year was the year somebody beat NES Tetris!

Hi Retro Rick, cool store I plan on going there some day when I'm around there.😁👍
How can I buy a Retro t-shirt from the store? I'v emailed and sent messages on FB and nobody every replies. I'm hurt. I just want a "retro" shirt. Please guys. HMU.
Love that statue!
That gold NWC cart label -- wasn't it just like a cut out piece of printed paper that was glue-sticked to the front of the cart? It wasn't the high quality label like every factory NES cart hard. It's not hard to picture it falling off.

There is a blue one that was used at the event
There is one for 849 euro on ebay now. What am i missing?
the Shasta cola NES cans were very nice!!! great pick up
When Rick pulled out those Mario Shasta’s I’ve never nostalgia tasted a video more in my life. Forgot about those but instantly could taste that peach can.
Who would buy something so stupid omg
Humble bragging your wealth basically. Alpharad did it a while back with his trips to Japan among other things.
I don't think it's bragging but I agree. Those games are not really a part of the nes collection
Stadium events and NWC. Unobtainable and useless.
I agree. 150k for something in 100 years will be trash.
It is Pat's NWC that's up for auction
“SHASHTA” 😂
Can you please dance in every video? That was hilarious 😂
Na my legs hurt now 🤣
Got it sold for 24,000 so what do you mean you’ve bid 150
game chasers reference...blaze it up... excellent video....
Cans expand and evaporates. I ruined a shelf of high dollar books with a Carolina and NC State championship cans leaking.
you have 150k you didn't drop but I think a cool thing for the store would be the Pokemon Snap Station. Think it would be awesome for customers to buy printing paper to print out their snaps. I know the store is tight with space tho.
You're forgetting the buyers premium of 22% on top of the high bid. $19 is the shipping they gouge you for. LOL
wasn't these channels that made the video game prices to sky rocket... buy at cheap prices then sell at ridiculous prices
Out of curiosity for N64 would you happen to have ( Pokemon Stadium 1 or 2, Mario Party 3, StarFox ) and also for PS2 would you happen to have Dragon Ball Z Budikai 2?
I dig the mmx theme, such a good song
The IRS audit team lookin like the birdman hands meme watching an owner's $250k purchase get written off as a loss...
Maybe try and combine the Mario's ones together if possible in some way, a pokemon display would be awesome!
can confirm, the yoshi drink was premium
NWC is at 160k at the moment
Lego Mario has to go. So much more items can be put in that spot. Lego Mario can be hung from the ceiling or off the rails of the steps. Lego Mario can go just about anywhere.
Rick be careful with the Mario and peach drink cans , the liquid can eventually eat through the can I had this happen with a Batman Mountain Dew can that was unopened and it sorta like leaked out all over where I had the can displayed
Maybe I'm late to this but am I the only one that noticed the Street Sharks on top of the wall in the office?
1:50 oh, the whole game store makes a lot more sense now
Jealous?
All the museums need changing besides the channel trophy’s 🏆
What about the mario bros sticker sealed one that is a 9.4 grade. That the guy was asking 1 million on pawn stars some years back?
You know it be really cool if you did video series saving enough money from profits to get nes track and field or another rare game. I would axe the Lego Mario. There is already so much Mario statues in the store.
Great video, Rick and Co. Glad Michael is doing the editing, you can always tell the difference and as a view I much prefer his style. Thanks guys!
I like collection vintage soda cans amongst a million other things.
Megaman x music goes HARD
does rick know what "biscuit" means in risk it for the biscuit?
I LOVE SONIC AND TAILS SO MUCH!!!
You need a museum cabinet dedicated to retro versions of Ken 😂 no Barbies just Ken
I don’t know man. Having a real grey or gold nwc to me is just massive bragging nights. The game itself isnt even that great and it’s dumped playable for free
Who would you you bragging to? And what about?
Your mother
You could do a VR Museum set from Nintendo Virtual Boy all the way to the newest you have.
Swap the Mario since its standalone
Somebody at Goldin definitely put in that 140k bid and wasnt trying to let you be great.
Retro games are the best
Swap out Home Alone or Retro Rick
I'll say that Wata is going to win the WC game. Pat the nes punk said I think and feel that what ever it sale for his WC should and will get 2x or 3x ,because his is better shape
what would pats one be worth?
