100% FB Marketplace is generally an absolute shit show or just plain overpriced. And sometimes the condition of the item is overstated. Ebay still remains the best choice, and also playasia for NOS but you have to slog their somewhat antiquated front end and sometimes deal with long backorder waits.

@@presstheabutton definitely true and i guess goodwill decided instead of letting flippers buy stuff cheap and profit from it. They will just put the good stuff online at eBay prices themselves. I understand that in one way on their part but on the other hand their inventory is donated. I know they have wages and overhead but they should still charge less than eBay not too much but enough to make it not worth it for resellers to bother. That way actual gamers can at least get decent deals. And GameStop does a lot wrong but at least they keep most of their game prices lower than eBay to try and get people in their stores.

Yes, Goodwills send a lot of their stuff to ECommerce, but also, the stores are plagued by resellers in all departments. Have seen people scanning the books, DVD’s, games, etc on their phones. Have seen people come in and just ask the workers right away if they have any expensive name brand clothing like Patagonia. Have seen people scan the kitchenware for expensive brands. It’s no longer a place for people to find the occasional great deal, it’s where the full time resellers just grab up everything.

Goodwill has a fairly big online operation both in house and on eBay. They won't let anything slip by if they can to the regular people. I shop at the goodwill outlets, even there they gut games and throw the cases in bins. At my bins there are a family of dedicated amazon scanners, so if a game does land in there, they get it and it goes to Amazon. Any yard sale gets bought out the morning it opens. EVERYONE is on to the retro game thing. It's been maybe 3yrs since I hit a good pick up at a yard sale. Good video though, important topic.

As someone mentioned in the comments, you have 10 times more than in what we have in our respective countries and there is literally nothing but FIFA and CoD in our thrift stores and prices at stores that sell retro games are 2x the price of price charting. The problem with game collecting is that everyone and their grandmother has become a reseller nowadays. People make deals with thrift store workers, so they get a call the moment something comes in. Prices have bounced out of place to a degree that a lot of people are not willing to buy it anymore. Only the ones that don't care about money do, keeping these resellers alive. I used to import games from Japan, but since the wolves discovered this place, prices have trippled in 2 years time. So I, like so many other people, quit active collecting. When I happen to run into something fair priced and that is on my list, I will grab it. Otherwise I won't even bother.

Even if a game does play without updating, I think a bigger issue is the questionable longevity of some of these newer systems. Wii U's have been found to be dying, something to due with the NAND memory and constantly needing to be plugged in or it just dies with no hope of fixing it. Not sure if we'll find similar issues with other systems, but like the seal on PS5's liquid metal thermal solution is one I wonder about.

Gamestop closed in whole Scandinavia summer 2020 here, and they were the ones surving longest. There is one local electronic chain that doesn't really count as they mainly stock random new Switch games. Sony and Xbox physicals have been dead for years so the stores only stock the yearly "FIFA" mostly for them. There is online stores of course, but without much competition the prices are higher than they should have been. Anyway. When Gamestop closed i bought lots of new unused games at 90% off, and also got collectibles at up to 80-90% off.

Everything in life has a peak, and then a decline. A lot of my childhood games and N64 stuff came from Sears too, my dad had a trusty employee discount. We didn't have any concept of buying a "used" game back then, or any such store we knew of. Collecting has certainly reached unfathomable lows these days, and there's no denying the state of games today is declining too. So too is GameStop, haven't seen that many titles as what you show on their shelves, in years now.

There are a lot of issues with "collecting" now, but the resellers and wannabes are the worst. I don't have an issue with local game shops, but Marketplace and other online retailers have made it so hard to sort through the overpriced junk to find any semblance of a deal that casual games like me just don't have the time. I focus mostly on modern gaming now because the older stuff is impossible to find in my area. Even as I look once or twice a week, the Marketplace offerings are the same items reposted over and over, at the same prices, for the same dirty stacks of sports and shovelware games that people want $5-10 per game on. My collection is becoming less important to me as I move forward because the object for me is to play video games, not spend my time hunting and worrying about the value of everything. I feel at some point people will just fall to emulation because the issues some of the roms have aren't a big enough deal to justify 3-4 figure price tags on games that were just ok to begin with. Once people try emulation and get it set up the way they want, they don't often come back. I don't get mad at the resellers though. I understand the idea of making money is enticing. I stopped watching these videos from flippers like Phoenix Resale and stuff because they stopped being interesting when the discussion switches from what they love about gaming to how much money they made and how YOU can also learn those skills in their discord. It's what they do, and that's fine, but it's not for me.

That's a very familiar feeling. I can go to stores all day and find nothing I want. I can easily blow tons of money online, but to go to a physical location and shop is nearly always fruitless.

I went to one of the better local stores for me, and they'd just gotten in a bunch of Turbografx and Saturn stuff. Albert Odyssey, Shining: The Holy Ark, Burning Rangers... but I got mine over 25 years ago. The Turbo stuff was neat because it was sealed, but not rare. Alien Crush, R-Type, Dungeon Explorer... great games, but I have my open copies already. Such is life when you're old enough to have been buying games for so long!

We've reached a weird point in the economic downturn of the United States (and much of the world, really) where prices are high because inflation is high, and so people put high prices on what they sell because they need the extra money to compensate for the high prices of consumer goods and utilities. But if the economic trends that we're experiencing continue, we'll find deals again for sure. They'll be the best we've seen in years, and in some cases ever. But for the wrong reason. We'll be in the fire sale phase, where prices are low because people need money desperately to cover continuing inflation with not enough wage growth, and most people won't be able to afford stuff like games, so the lower prices will be meant to draw someone, anyone, in to buy. The best thing we want to happen is for the economy to get better, resulting in people selling and giving deals again because they don't need the money that badly and feel inclined to pass on the savings as times are good. But as long as the current leadership remains the same, the arrangement of ongoing crises will remain the same, which means the economic downturn will only continue.

@@RNGGamerYT And a lot of us want games to remain physical. Digital is a great option for people, but physical should ALWAYS be on the table. It's mindblowing that there was no word on a physical of Baldur's Gate 3 for as long as there was like you mentioned in the video. And I'm also bewildered as to why video game companies don't remake classic consoles to spec rather than those classic versions (like the Super Nintendo or the PSone) that don't even play the original games--they're just boxes with built-in emulators. If these companies did a limited run of 1:1 spec OG remake consoles, those would be sold out on pre-order within 24 hours of announcement. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, or even Sega could all do it and pretty much print money with that strategy. And if the companies did this repeatedly, it would eventually lower the cost of the OG consoles and games (if they did remakes of the OG games on OG carts or discs) in the long run on the market. It just makes no sense why companies like Microsoft, who's taking losses to the point that they're laying off people in their video games department, and Sony, who's guarantee to lose on the PS5 Pro given the outrage over its pricing, are taking losses like they are when they could pick up easy wins by simply catering to the retro gaming market. Yeah, they think the future is where the money is at, but if only they knew lol

Sure i'd love to have to cart on my shelf but not at these prices. I would feel too much like a sucker. And no, i dont mean $30 bucks. I mean $5-$20$... That is what these old games are worth to me. A game being worth more than what i paid for it was always a nice novelty. I had a 1200 game collection at one point. Sold it for space. If i ever do get back into collecting i will only be buying "good" games. No crap, no filler, no mid grade stuff either. Just the greats.

I buy digital and physical. I also collect movies on physical media. After 10 to 15 years I got back into gaming with the Nintendo Switch. The thing it is so convenient to switch between games and not change the cartridge. Also you have your collection with you every time. The thing with physical is that you can get games cheaper than digital. Some will not agree. But the games in retail get discounts from the start or after not so much time. Especially Nintendo games. Then you have the second hand market. It is not so cheap as it was but you still can get great games. What I see on consols is that the games stay by the same price when there is not some discount. I am from Europe where the market is not like in the USA. So we don't have the great Walmart clearances like you have. "Resllers" are destroying game collection like the do with trading cards Sorry for rambling but I love physical media and your video is great.

The only retro games I've gotten recently are reissues, from like retrobit, or PCE Works repros, which in cases are better than the American originals. If companies stop selling physical games, it might be up to people like PCE Works taking on abandoned ware themselves. What's happening with SNES Doom is also interesting.

Now they're all holding $10 common games they paid $50 for, waiting till they're worth at least $80-$100 before they re-sell them again, and investors are they type to trash them and eat the $50 them rather than sell them for $10 and still lose $40, because they don't want to 'crash the market' for the games they imagine making thousands on one day over cutting their losses by 20%.

Plus almost every progressive scan game has it removed from the PAL ones. Most Namco games keep both though which is good. And no matter what you use, 576i is never going to upscale well because it loses integer no matter what you output from your upscaler. There's no 1152p or 1728p for a retrotink to output or a TV to accept It's why my modded PS2 has NTSC versions of most of my PAL disc games on the hard drive, especially RPGs. If you do one those runs on FFX where you want to max out your levels, do all the beast collecting things and defeat the dark aeons. If it's a near 120 hour run on NTSC, that's a whole 21.5 hours of extra game time on top of that for PAL (but the in game timer also runs 17.5% slower too so it still only says 120 hours on your save file.) Plus when you see those comparison videos that show you sonic at 50hz compared to 60, with how much slower the game and music is, apart from the music being MP3s or similar, we played the GTA games, Tekken Tag and 4, Gran Turismo 3 and 4, Devil May Cry 1 and so many others, all slowed down that much over here.
