Resellers don't give a shit about much. He probably ships $50+ games in bubble mailers too. Probably doesn't even clean anything, just sends games out with pubic hair and 30 years of dust and grime on them
ya same for a guy who gets super excited about games...he only cares about the money not the people he sales it to kinda disappointing personally wouldnt get anything from resalers
Hey mate, wanted to say thanks for the video. I saw Asura’s Wrath on the PS3 in my local op shop today after watching this video for $5 and immediately grabbed it. We can’t sell used games on Amazon here in Aus but eBay comps were also insane. Thanks again, I definitely learn so much from watching you
I don’t understand why a guy buying games from pawn shops is making some of you guys mad? If he was going to Walmart and buying every copy of a new release then sure I get it. But a pawn shop? Come on guys. Great vid man, I love watching these! So keep it up!
I completely agree with all these statements. My local GameSpot had 3 copies for cheaper than he paid. I dont know how he will get over $100 for this. Please explain....I could make a killing if making $ is this easy.
From my small amount of knowledge and my own experience, people feel ‘safer’ buying from Amazon due to the “better” customer service. I believe it’s due to the higher regulations and obstacles that sellers have to go through in order to sell on Amazon. So people don’t care if they pay more money because they believe that they’ll get better service, especially if the item is bad and they have to return it. After being an eBay seller, I don’t think it’s worth it to pay more 🤷🏻♀️
They can buy on amazon. I’ll buy on eBay and sell on amazon. I was able to get afrika on PS3 cib for 80$ on eBay. Mint. I could list on amazon for 200$. One thing I hate on eBay is even if you have a no return policy, eBay has a guarantee so they can return it.
People will pay more to get something in 2 days and no question returns. The fees on amazon are higher but you make soooo much more. People trust that they won't get crap like you can on ebay. People buy on ebay and flip to amazon FBA all the time. It's a big business.
I played gauntlet dark legacy and phantasy star online 1 and 2 on GameCube as a kid and loved both. Had so much fun with my friends we still talk about both of those games to this day. So much nostalgic behind them. They are going for crazy cash online. I'm so surprised not more ppl know about these gems. Your channel is great man! I have low key been waiting for you to find either game. You may have in previous videos but this is the first time I've seen you find 1 and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Thanks for entertainment. Cheers!
I am originally from Alabama and never heard about this but now live in Arizona where we have a GameStop and locally own game stores on every corner which is overall nice haha
Gotten asura's wrath a few years ago for $1 from a guy who hated it cause there's no ending to the game. Almost pass on it but decided to pick it up just because I needed it for my collection. Was a good decision I'll say lol.
Hey Phoenix on the 3Rd of this Month I went To the Quintard Jewelry and Pawn in Anniston Alabama and bought Grand theft Auto 5 and Dead Rising 1 and 2 and Dead Island Definitive Edition for the PS4 and a PS5 EVIL DEAD game and 6 DVDS and 1 Blue Ray for only $45.00 and the PS5 EVIL DEAD game was still sealed
I was in Kontrol Freak Games in Pigeon Forge, TN a couple weeks ago and saw Paper Mario for the GameCube priced at $120. Blew my mind lol. I just picked up a new GameCube AV cord for about $10. Cool place if you're ever that way. Had a lot of retro consoles and games.
congrats on the azuras wrath pickup. i had no idea the game had gone up. i was like damn i remember buying this for the 360 in 2014 thinking now wish i got it for the ps3. but i checked and it’s gone up on 360 to maybe around 50 or 60 usd and i paid 18 usd so yayyyy
Unfortunately that Asura’s Wrath isn’t complete. Couldn’t believe it when you said how much it was going for, and went to see if I still had it. Has a manual and everything.
FYI the only way to have a manual with tales of Symphonia Collection on PS3 is to own the Collector’s Edition. Namco did this for the vast majority of PS3 Tales games.
I live in the Corbin area, and it is tough to find games at Pawn Shops there because of the Game King that is also downtown. So most people in the area know what games are worth.
Its probably a regulation where you cant have new and flashy signs. I live in a town that is considered historic so in the downtown they are not allowed to have fancey signs and stuff on display in the stores. It all has to look like it was from the 1800's
I'm surprised that Guitar Hero Live is going for around $30. Even when this video was uploaded, they had already shut down the servers for GHTV which was the bulk of the game. It dropped the total song count from several hundred down to about 25 or 30.
8:09 Asura Wrath really I never taught about how much it is now it still have my copy with and the DLC on my ps3 wish they had a complete edition or at least had it on PS4 i also have art academy that doesn't have the kid on the cover.
sometimes i wish i would live in the US. Just for the thousands of Pawn shops. Here in Germany there is just 1 Pawn Shop in a Big City with 1 million people, and there's just junk in it.
Guys like him really irritate me. No love more games or the hobby and community. Just looking to make a quick buck. I can only hope so many resellers flood the market and making where these guys can’t make lots of money doing this.
I found a lot of games with console for 25 and was shook when I saw one of the games included it’s a classic and the game itself is my money back and more 😁
Tazewell is pronounced ______ taz- well. It's weird but the E is silent. And Harrogate & Tazewell is in TN. Those pawn shops always have something interesting in there
Wow I gotta start selling on Amazon...that's more around 75-80 on ebay. Not a game I see very often. The few times I have they're usually just the disk
Just checked out gauntlet dark legacy in my country it's only worth £22 us is so high in mark up pricing .can only assume you didn't get a lot of initial stock when the game released in your country.
Shylocks Pawn had The Guardian Legend for NES complete in box (or i assume it's complete in box) for only $25. It resells for $75. Man, I wish I was there to have bought it. even though I already own it complete in box. I wouldnt have mind owning a second copy or to resale it later on. Its my favorite video game of all time. so I pretty much crapped myself when I only saw it for $25.
Fun video! Do you have any tips on how to keep your volume and the musics volume at the same level? I’ve struggled with this when I’ve tried to use music. It seems like your sound was a consistent level throughout!
Haha you’re the first one to ever notice that. In my editing software I can see the waveforms of the audio so I just try to match them up more or less.
@@PhoenixResale I figured it was something like that. I’ve been using some random editing software. It may be time to upgrade to something more sophisticated.
This man visited my home town and actually made a profit. I cant believe stuff like that was even around. But tazewell isnt in kentucky, it's in Tennessee. I'm still subscribing because you cant bargain with great content
A bit late on my part, but what app were you using to scan the different video games as well as what shop do you primarily sell too (seemed like amazon to me but I'm probably wrong)?
Awesome saw some Dynasty Warriors games at the second pawn shop, if you never played them games suggest trying them out shit loads of hack an slashing, good fun :) Based on Chinese history "Romance of the three kingdoms"
His heart dropped when he saw Asura's Wrath, mine dropped when I saw how he grabs the discs
For real lmao
Damn that was so amateur

@@ItamiSenpapi So you don't buy games from pawn stores, video games stores, retail stores, etc? How on earth do you buy any games? lmao
Hey man i know your channel isnt as large as it should be but i really appreciate all the knowledge you drop for free.
it eventually will be it just takes time. mr beast didnt start with 20mill views. he start with 1, then 10, then 500, then 10k thenm 100k etc...
I have watched your videos for a a little while now and just now heard the name Mr. Beast yesterday from my 5 year old 😂

Great vid man, I love watching these! So keep it up!
Mad cause they didn’t do it first
I just found your videos today and I have been binge watching them all day long. You are living the life man live it up and keep up the good work!!
Thanks Logan!
That pikachu vcr was awesome I've never seen one in person.
Just the VCR without remote and memory card sold for $320 on Ebay. I haven't watched all the video yet, maybe he buys it.
@@DrifterThrifters yea I would've talked them down a little and try to get it cheaper but just with all it came with it would be worth picking up
what card comes with the vcr?
It is now currently just $50
Man...I so regret not picking up Asura's wrath when I was under $20 at Gamestop...great finds!!
can't believe Asuras Wrath is so expensive, it was like a 10-15 dollar GameStop game before.
I’ve been into games my whole life. Stumbled across this channel. I’m quite confident I could still find it at GameStop for $5
It’s not that uncommon of a game.... Also, you need to buy the DLC to really complete the game’s story......
It was on the returned shelf at Game stop all day long.
I've gotten two copies. One at gamestop, one at at a flea market. I gave less than $5 each for them.
I completely agree with all these statements. My local GameSpot had 3 copies for cheaper than he paid. I dont know how he will get over $100 for this. Please explain....I could make a killing if making $ is this easy.
I actually live in tazewell and haven’t been in that last pawn shop in yearssss, they’ve improved a lot! Good to see, definitely stopping by soon!
Boggles my mind my people buy games on amazon for 40% more then they could get them on ebay.

@@imthemapimthemap that what I mean. To me ebay is a very reliable service. I've never used Amazon ever to buy anything. It's overpriced.
They can buy on amazon. I’ll buy on eBay and sell on amazon. I was able to get afrika on PS3 cib for 80$ on eBay. Mint. I could list on amazon for 200$. One thing I hate on eBay is even if you have a no return policy, eBay has a guarantee so they can return it.

And yet in regards to magic the gathering sealed product, Amazon is way worse to buy from than eBay.

Found your channel recently and keep grinding you make solid content.
Great video loved seeing the rural road trip and all of your finds.
Duuuuude some solid finds. Did my
First little road trip find the other day. Loved it. Keep it up man!
Just discovered your channel and you already motivated me to start flipping some game!
That’s awesome John, thanks for the support!
I am originally from Alabama and never heard about this but now live in Arizona where we have a GameStop and locally own game stores on every corner which is overall nice haha
nothing like a good ride along 🙌 nice pick ups mate
You need to come up north in Kentucky near Cincinnati we have so many pawn shops tons of games…

I love the Middlesboro/Harrogate/Tazewell area. A lot of people overlook East Tennessee and Kentucky, but it's so beautiful!
Harrogate and tazewell is TENNESSEE YA'LL
What's the name of the app you use to check prices?
That’s what’s I’m trying to figure out, if you do please let me know

Really feel like I need to leave the big city I am in and do a weekend road trip in some of these rural towns... so much less competition.
I would have snagged that VCR for sure, maybe they would have discounted that too? Looked awesome

Hey Phoenix on the 3Rd of this Month I went To the Quintard Jewelry and Pawn in Anniston Alabama and bought Grand theft Auto 5 and Dead Rising 1 and 2 and Dead Island Definitive Edition for the PS4 and a PS5 EVIL DEAD game and 6 DVDS and 1 Blue Ray for only $45.00 and the PS5 EVIL DEAD game was still sealed
Great video you have really inspired me to want to get into reselling
Just got a R&C a crack in time and Q-force, CIB for £4 ($5.50) each from a charity shop here in UK. Super happy with those pickups.

When I first saw Guantlet Dark legacy I was thinking you'd better get it. Love that game and it has gone up a lot in value.
Unfortunately that Asura’s Wrath isn’t complete. Couldn’t believe it when you said how much it was going for, and went to see if I still had it. Has a manual and everything.
This channel has made me hate the word “folks”
Another great video my man. Love your work 🔥
Just found you're channel today and now I'm binge watching your video's
Thanks Stranger!

what was that app you are using to check out the games n prices? @7:45
Does anybody know the app hes using to scan for prices?
Dude that’s cool I went too Highschool in Middlesboro been in east end pawn tons of time
that CN game was my first ever game on the PS3 brings back good memories

Hey you passed through my hometown of barbourville!
I enjoy your sourcing trips but would like to see some sales as well. Only sourcing gets a bit repetitive
Very true. I know he sells Amazon but I am super curious the turnaround of how fast what he picks up sells
I try to sprinkle those in periodically. They just don’t get any views and take more work.
Great background music. Now I´m addicted to Patrik Patrikios beats.

What app are you using to scan games with? Thanks
Caleb called the last shop a "honey-bowl" 😂! First time hearing that, I'm using it from now on though👌.
Has to be a Pooh reference, right?
