How I've Lost Thousands of Dollars Trying to be a Video Game Reseller :( 

Do the entire world a favor, just throw out all the sports games and all the Just Dance games.

Appreciate the honesty. I think most people try to hide their losses and shameful purchases and try to pretend that winning is the norm.

Man you have the most youtuber voice of all time. I could literally link like 5 channels that have the same exact voice as you. How does that make you feel

AH, the rare Gears of War 3 PS2. That is a hard one to find.

Wow dude you have been doing this a long time. You were way ahead of the curb.

Why not carry a testing kit with you when you go. Binder w/ disc sleeves of known working cheap sports games, 1 for each platform. A small display that can take composite signal via a cheap retrotink. An inverter or battery pack. Some spare cables etc.

if the lasers are broken just mod it and load up 100's of games on there. Problem solved.

All shops around me sell complete working ps1, ps2, xbox, nes, snes for $90 and under. Disc replay, and game world are my favorite.

this is what poverty looks like in a nutshell

My worst ripoff was actually from a store. I got a copy of Chrono Trigger that did not work, and they claimed that since I got it with credit, that they only do swaps for the same game. They claim that they haven't gotten a copy in since that time... That was 2015.

I have all the broken stuff and games but I specialize on my psp and Sony retro junk that’s hard to get rid of especially without controllers or anything 😂

To be fair all ur inventory is generic crap

I stay away from buying consoles… unless absolutely they work…

is... that all u have?

Semi successful eBay reseller here, it can be hard but you should've been done your homework on everything pictured here, I mean extensive stats and sales research using their Product Research tool if you don't wanna do it manually. Yes local logistics are somewhat helpful but it's not the make or break like the internet marketplace is. I wouldn't count on repairs to turn a profit unless it's a Sega Saturn or something rarer.

Hmm, you need to knock there asking prices down, i bought mint ps2 for £25 on marketplace, $80 for untested is steep.

why not just invest in the stock market?

i need one of those ps1s in the bucket , not the rectagle but the smaller one, hit me up!

You accumulate trash in your house. Sell all your game console and video games go buy bitcoin.

its not easy bud. you gotta be very selective. perhaps even just specialize in a specific genre. wish you all the best jbob
