When you’re buying a collectible you really want any thought process involving if you really need it is thrown out the window 🤣🤣 we collectibles need that dopamine
That guy was an asshole and just wanted something bad to say. I could see it in his demeanor as he walked by. That is what you call a true hater plus he looked like a bum.
$500 for that Virtual Boy in the Blockbuster case was a steal! I had one of those, along with most of the games CIB, but it all got stolen in a recent burglary. Been looking to buy a replacement, but they're all much higher than that. Congrats on the McD display! That's a sweet piece! I love stuff like that as well.
@@retrorick Man, I have hundreds of old Happy meal toys, even dating to back to the eighties and sealed. I still buy them in China. You give me hope that there might be a market for them.
My dad is a sewing machine mechanic and got one of those sewing machine game boys to fix. The person never came back so I was given the game boy color.
Love these videos. Getting to see all the awesome pieces of history. I remember as a child seeing that happy meal display and wanting the toys. Also love all the boxed NES accessories. Thanks for sharing man.
That McDonald's Super Mario 3 display looks awesome, and I am definitely on the lookout for one of those as of right now complete with all the parts. Only ones I have seen are missing the sign piece up top though. Great score on that for under $700!
There are few things more nostalgic for me that that Mcdons mario 3 display I was obsessed with mario bros. and getting those toys. That thing is just super cool and a grail piece for sure. Congrats!
It's so hard finding old games and memorabilia here in Australia if it's not on Ebay. Love watching your videos Rick. Should get a channel going where you have game nights
My aunt bought a vectrex at a yard sale in the 90's. It was so different from 90's console systems. The way the space ship moved and the vector graphics amazed me as a teen. I would turn off the lights and play it in the dark and the glow of the screen, the audio, and the low buzz/hum sound it made when it was on made it feel like I was in space.
The mario 3 McDonald’s display is a piece I’ve been trying to get for my collection for a while now. Just last year I was seeing then go for $300! It’s wild to see how much they have shot up In price. They were asking top dollar but the condition was wonderful. Congrats to you on adding it to the collection. You really need to start thinking about maybe getting a new house or getting an outdoor shed because there’s no way you’ll have enough room by the years end to display all of this stuff
They're still going for around $300-$350 on eBay even for a complete cherry 🍒 one. He overpaid, got too excited and probably didn't even check comps. I know his mission is to buy in person not online but paying a $200+ premium? 🤦🏻♂️
i can understand the nostalgia towards the mario happy meal (display) . i have the same with the sonic the hedgehog happy meal. i made sure to score the toys plus their boxes (in europe we had cool boxes you could make dioramas out of) a few years ago. never found the display for a good price though.
I remember passing on the Star Fox weekend challenge and the DK competition cart because they weren't even full games. I'd pay $500 for that Power Glove case though. I have it in the box, but it's not in the best shape.
My favorite thing was really the thing you got or the ocarina of time figurine that you showed us in the box. I'm a nintendo fan, so I wish I could attend that con. It looks like they have so many nostalgic things!
I had Star Fox Super Weekend, found it at a church yardsale. I sold it about 6yrs ago for $500, needed Christmas money. It kills me when I see what it's worth now!
Plus it’s like a cross over collectible. The vintage tee market is insane. Plus no print runs so many unique one of one items. Also the hardest to price comps are all over the place . I started in vintage sportswear before I got into retro games. Very different market place. Especially band tees insane I use to throw out my Metallica tees if they had holes in them , now my trash of yesterday’s is worth hundreds.
@@retrorick also Rick for you Caleb aka the amazing Phoenix resale you guys have robots messaging people all the time happy I always get the real person though haha
Iv seen that bearded guy with the n64 gold control pop up in people's videos showing that controller off. I think its the only thing he has, and he's super proud of it
I just wish i could go back to my youth when videogames were new and getting wildly better every 4 years. Now its not the same, I still love it but it doesnt hit like they used to.
