Bought the RAREST Game Consoles i've seen 

Might be just me but not a huge fan of the owner asking you for a price when you ask him how much he wants for it. Like he owns the business. Why should you have to ask him the price over and over. If he is selling, he needs to throw out a number, or price his stuff accordingly and then you come to a deal. Idk. That would have annoyed me personally.

It’s annoying when shops don’t have price tags then they get annoyed when you try to barter.

It felt to me the owner really didn't want to let rare stuff go

Their sales tactic was, put everything you want in a pile. Offer me a price. Then I’ll say $100 more than that price.

I don’t like that he wouldn’t just tell you the price. I would have walked out if someone did that to me 😂.

This store doesn't pass the vibe check 😂🤣😭

I always think it's weird when someone wants to sell something and won't give any price. I guess I just don't get negotiating at all.

“I don’t know what it’s worth, make an offer” *makes offer* “Well no way I can do that” Then put a price out there

Honestly it’s amazing these people have sold anything to anybody with that approach.

"Ecco the Dolphin" hooked up to stereo speakers was awesome 😁

Great video but not a fan of the two owners of that store I'm sure I'll catch heat for that comment but they seem like just not good people

You got more patience than me man. I cant deal with guys like that. Try to upsell ya tell ya how rare it is, how hard they are to find. I can imagine they take advantage of the newer collectors. Sorry to be blunt, but Ive dealt with people like that for 40 years. I would have walked away without spending a dime.

How am I supposed to know how much stuff to put in the pile if you don't tell me how much the stuff's going to be

I'm glad these pieces of video game history are being cared for and cherished.

I'll never understand guys who won't throw out their price when they own a fucking shop. Dude, You own a shop. Give me your fucking price or i'll take my business elsewhere. I get negotiating with a yard sale or a convention. But you own an actual shop. Treat people right. Give them your current price and negotiate from that.

That rotating case is so cool, every shop needs those 😂 especially for people who have bad vision

it always baffles me when the store ask you what you want to pay, you give them a reasonable price and they act like you robbed em lol

Interesting video but I'd just be walking out of there. no vibe, no prices, loads of awkward nonsense. Not a nice buying experience at all, don't care how good your stuff is, I'm walking.

Man i love how he handles the box with meticulous care.

The seller is so annoying. It seems like someone is going into his house and begging to buy something that isn't for sale.

It’s hard to watch the owner not price stuff. Maybe you can make a small argument about the rare boxed stuff but I would walk out of a store if I asked how much 3 PS3’s were and they respond how he did.

Not gonna lie…this one was a difficult one to be a part of. It was unlimited awkwardness the whole time. 😂

Great selection maybe but I found that owner tough to deal with based on what I see here…

That's the kind of place I walk out of 🤣🤣

The retro gaming was dope in the late 90's and early 2000's when everything was super cheap. The prices for old school games and systems now are absurd.

That was hard to watch rick was good as usual, but those guys. I would walk out after hearing there attitude.

I hate Dealing with people like that. Won’t tell you a price.

Lol my dad has two didn’t know they were really that rare😮

Love how Rick handled this guy. He used nothing but positivity and the deal went through. Good job Rick

The owner was really starting to get on my last nerve, you couldn't get a straight answer from this guy. You got a tad ripped on some stuff he saw you coming a mile away... if you don't want to sell it don't put up for sale and quit playing games. Man I never been frustrated listening to a person rant mumble the way he did....smfh.

I don’t see how they sell anything the way mike does his dealings. Seems like it’d be real hard to deal with him!

Personally, I love the haggle and the hustle here. It’s all good. This is America!!!!! When you know the owners a hard seller then you just start your offering price low. Duhhhhhh. 👍🇺🇸

The Russian Tetris thing was the most awkward interaction I have ever witnessed in my life.

Sorry but that owner... if you want to sell something you name the price. And then don't cry when a buyer has to name a price and you dont like it.

You tell me how much you want to pay for all of this. I don’t think this gentleman understands how retail works. If “I know what I got” was a video game store it’d be these characters. Too many years of raiding grandma’s basement for pennies and flipping for hundreds. And hey, that’s capitalism, I won’t fault them for that. The attitude is just a bit off putting for me.

"you dont see this you dont see that" the shop owners act like they have the ark of the covenant

It's so crazy to me that I was able to just casually buy a Virtual Boy complete in box with all the inserts for a mere $100 in about 2010.

The constant haggling makes me cringe. I understand wanting a good deal. But, as a shop owner, I would expect more understanding that other shop owners are also trying to make a living.

As a Game Chasers fan, love seeing these two again! Such unique characters.

The rotating display case used to be used for jewelry back in the day. I often see them at coin shops now too. Great way to display and rotate stock.

I just can't stand it when these video game stores act like they REALLY don't wanna let go of something! I know that this stuff is rare and not cheap, but if someone is coming to your store and they're spending big money then don't try to bust their heads on everything! Not EVERYONE is out to buy all this stuff and I know there's more people out there than what people think buying old retro stuff and will always be, but once these items start being sold for astronomical amounts only certain people will be able to buy them! I absolutely LOVE going to old retro stores for electronics and video games, but usually the owners and people working there are assholes! You know what you want for your items, so name a price! When someone is asking :"What would you give me for it?" or "What's it worth to you!?" They're hoping you will pay them more for the item than what they were asking for it! If they're selling something for $100 and you tell them you will give them $150 or $200 then they've made an extra $50-$100 off someone! Just say what you want for your items and be done with it damn!

calling a 1-800 number to get in contact with a local console dealer is a funny concept lol

That owner was driving me crazy. Give me a price damn it!

I'm always surprised of every time I watch these videos is interesting to see stuff that I grew up on in the early 2000s

What happened to skinny rick!?! Now we get fat Rick!?! The food is supposed to be FOR YOUR SON

100 ... Nice man. Do you have a list or some tips for me whitch Games i should look for when im out searshing for valubles games that is expensive and what i should look for 3 screws or 5 screws and so on. / Sweden! =)

Old man didn’t seem to want anyone in his store let’s be honest.

I hate when someone that's selling something won't give a price and just keep asking what you want to pay for it.

That crew is OG Arkansas retro gaming core, they don't care if you're offended by how they haggle and handle. They used to be the last place to get deals in the retail stores before the 2016 boom, they still try when they can but everything is up! That's my experience at least when I was at their old store. Great video Rick!

Old dudes like this are funny. They will just assume you don't know anything without even trying to have a conversation with you about it. I've seen it in record stores, at flea markets, antiques shops, you name it. Last week a dude tried to pull this on me and I just walked out with my pockets still stuffed with cash. I don't like being confronted with a surly attitude when I'm trying to enjoy myself. Unfortunately for them, know what their stuff is worth and I know when I'm getting a good deal or not without all the bluster and chest-puffing

Oh wow.. I have a JVC X'EYE and never used the Sega CD feature of it. I only had Genesis games at home so I guess I'll have to look where I put it.

Dang man why was he so defensive? You just wanted him to give you a ball park of a price first. Lol you kept asking and he just told you to keep shopping. Rick didn't want to be disrespectful and the guy took it completely that way

This really brings me back to when I first started watching The Game Chasers in like 2016! So rad

Makes me wonder how places like this can stay open

I remember seeing them on the game chasers! I thought they closed their shop?! Absolutely love to see them back

Why cash? Between traders who know the value of the product the profit margins are going to be low. You don't want to take the small profit margin away by the creditcard charges.

Good video but that store selling tactics suks 😂 no priced items plus seeing those mad faces I'm just making a U Turn out of the store 😂

I’ve found going into a retro store with cash goes along ways in getting a good deal. Credit card companies really like to stick it to small businesses. Fun episode with some Game Chasing nostalgia!

Great video😊 but gotta admit the older guy seemed waaay hesitant on selling some of the stuff, hopefully they do get business though

If you watch Game Chasers episode with this guy, the owner is really proud of his stuff and has a hard time letting it go.

Wowwww I was thinking about holding the gold controller out my door back in the day n showing it off to. My friends itwas like holding the sword of Excalibur n choosing my best friend to come in since I only had two controllers.... I think the gold controller not the console cam with 007’

Owner came across like a bellend 😂 also the comment about people going back to older stuff because you don’t need internet is utter bs…. Everyone and their nan has internet these days 😂

Kinda crazy how for the entire video, you kept asking his price on several things and he kept saying "wait till you get everything together" and then at the end keeps trying to fleece you lmao. What a guy.

It’s interesting. I get the “shady” carnival vibe from this place. I know the game chasers went there a lot but it felt really off. I like how you just helped them out Rick. And hey now u got a virtual boy and a nomad box and some other goodies 👊

LOL the owner caught me off guard with "How much you want for it" when i was there last too! I"m so used to there being a set price on something. Plus, He's changed his store alot since i visited hot springs ar last year. It's got alot of things, but the owner recommends cash most of the time LOL.

Still one of the biggest disappointments of my childhood. Should have known better after the power glove.

And thats why they got everything in the book ! Cause they dont wanna sell anything. 🤦🏻‍♂️ ..owner doesn't know wtf half his shits worth or what to sell it for

Can't wait to buy it and store it for years.

He had a brother that used to have a video game store in the same area, back in the day, called Gamebiz! Good guys, I've bought several items from them in the last few years! It's really the only true retro gaming store in Hot Springs area, so I hope they continue to do well.

It's hilarious to see the virtual boy in this video while I watch laying down in my bed on my Oculus quest 2 lol watching the Granddaddy of all VR in VR.

That was not awkward at all.... I mean were talking RELICS here, not some random games in a dumpster. Honestly, I think the old man went super easy on your price, especially giving you that Nomad box for free.... Im curious about where yall went wit the ps3s, and everything else. Amazing store, honest to god people. Good stuff! P.S - The reason the old man asks for the price, is because some of those things are priceless really, and they dont sell anymore, so the price is really up to negotiation and fairness between both parties, this isnt a gamestop with executives demanding price tags. These are cherished items being traded from one to another. So in all fairness 800 was low, but he had to see where the man stood, and 900 was a solid deal, he easily coulda asked for 1000, or 1200 even, but the price started at 800 and thats where they went from.

I'd hate to say it but, those 2 guys don't know what their talking about and don't have any real passion. it's all just business. i don't like spots like that. Would Never spend my hard earned money at a spot like that.

Virtual Boy was kinda cool back in the day. I remember the game where you are flying through these weird cave systems. Couldn't play that thing for more than an hour without getting a headache from all those red lines.

I love my JVC x'eye and Virtua Boy(in rental case). I'm glad i bought them years ago before the big retro hike.

I would go crazy dealing with someone like the owner. He seems like he's in the wrong business and seems rather annoyed and not very engaging with his customers like the KB toy store kids back in the day when you ask them for something.

If the pawn shop from Pulp Fiction sold video games… “It’s gonna be a good day Dad…” wtf? Lol

I had an X'Eye once. I still maintain it has the all time best boot music. Great video, RR!

This shop was famous in a lot of Game Chaser episodes, He had WAY more in those episodes, It’s great to see that there still around!

😂😂. He wanted your number Retro Rick so he know how’s how much to counter. He didn’t want to get mean on you. 🤦🏽‍♂️. There’s no one going in there to buy those items. Great pickups as usual. Always entertaining even if it’s a little awkward. The guy never did give a price for a few PS3s.

Weird when shop owners have personal stuff out and seem abit sensitive when you ask about it. Odd business model

Glad to see they are still doing well and still in the game. First saw them on The Game Chasers...decent people...quality.

Owner is the master old school bazaar haggler. He approached the sale in this order: The first mention of the close: "you get a pile up and well talk about it" This immediately makes the buyer start a larger pile without worrying of the sticker shock, and leading to a bigger sale. After that it was broken down like this: 1. "You tell me" 2. "What do you think" 3. "I wasn't planning on letting this go" 1. He has fished for basic information to get the best deal possible while at the same time seeming like it is nothing more than just a deal to him. Diffuse and fish. 2. See the absolute value of everything in the customers eyes. 3. Before the finality of the deal the owner preempts the buyers expectations with how he sees these to have a hefty value, and almost an inconvenience for him to sell, even after he made the whole transaction just seem like an open carefree thing in the very beginning. A total flip flop but genius. A+ On the old man selling this guy.

These guys are great! I'm so happy they are still slinging that plastic gold. Definitely keep this guy in your rolodex

this was the worst negotiating i have ever seen. Even watching it now i would have walked outta that store.

the guy didnt wanted to give a price cause he knew he was going to lowball himself lol and if u give a price then its i cant do that but this is some rare stuff and will go for allot more

Awesome that they are still around and open still love the store and the people.

I had a Virtual Boy when I was kid and it was mind blowing for its time. I wish I still had it

@0:27 NOT ever again Fun fact; running a game store is extremely stressful. The guy in the red shirt who owns that store is only 5 years older than Rick

How the hell do you own a store and not even tell the customer a price. "Whatchoo wanna give for it?"

Old man’s a few fries short of a happy meal I hate dealing with people like that

Love the old skool way of negotiating!! They definitely don’t do it like that anymore!! If you’re a 90s kid you would of seen your parents negotiate like this at least a few times

What a collection to have in a gamestore

As everyone else is saying the store definitely doesn’t pass the vibe check but the inventory does. For a store in the mid west it’s lit

I’ll never understand why Conker is so expensive……

I’m glad everyone thinks they’re pricks 😂

Always liked Jimmy and his Dad on the Game Chasers episodes. Looks like a really cool store!

The worst thing about shops like that is they really don't want to get rid of anything!

I remember trading games with him in the late 90's!!! He was the first person to tell me about the Russian Tetris game back in the day!!

Looks like this guy Already did what you guys are doing.
