Rare Switch Games and Hidden Gems! | Game Pickups Episode 54 

Those are just auctions to avoid.,

Even worse when it’s a Thrift store selling item they got for free at higher prices and telling you they have to much stock to provide pictures or even details on media your inquiring about

@@nahbiatch5 At the volumes Goodwill processes inventory it’s not always feasible. You know going into these auctions that you’re taking a chance that the item is graded accurately

Definitely I don’t take a chance of a stock photo seller

Yes

Thank you!!! BEST news i heard all week! I was seriously considering selling it! I left it sealed for that reason in fact.. I pre-ordered this game and was shocked when it arrived saying I had to download it.. had they told me in advance i would have never pre ordered it or even ordered it to begin with. GREAT news though! TY for sharing, i shall 100% keep this game in my forever collection now

@@osareme2462 very wise advice!

And to add to that ive seen sellers commonly say its in very good condition but in reality upon closer inspection they are referring only to the DISC and not the case or manual.

The past 3 months I've had to hold many sellers accountable and remind them of Ebays description terms and get refunded. I've had some excellent sellers bit the bad ones are absoulte douche bags.They get angry at you for calling them out or holding them accountable.

Great minds think alike! 💥

once switch 2 is out assuming its backwards compatible youll be able to grab those OG switches for dirt cheap too

@@LegallyInsaneGamer was thinking of doing with ps4 (neurotic i know but aren't us retro gamers all) but here in Japan new ps4s are still quite pricey.

🤣🤣 Are you in the same boat now too? Lol

Thanks for the support brother!

I was lucky to have bought my Baldurs Gate back when it was only like $40 CAD brand new

Gargoyles is broken on cart

Ese juego es roto , y no es bueno para tener en físico , ya que necesitas el parche obligatorio

@@mariomartinez-wg2pt Oh si? 🫨 gracias por el consejo. Entonces no vale compralo por la collection?

Danggg nice grabs you got there! Be careful though.. cops might be lookin for ya as we speak!

@LegallyInsaneGamer me and my buddy were talking at work, saying you are prob calling the fbi on us right now! I gotta lay low for a while 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside it's still not too late for 360 collecting, there's some great deals right now if people are willing to take some road trips and hit up stores

Are you in JAIL yet? I reported you to INTERPOL. You cant hide forever!

@@LegallyInsaneGamer not yet, I'm still running! 🤣🤣

@@thiefamongu3857 🤣🤣🤣

GREAT tip! Thank you! Ill see what I can do :)

I have a similar experience with the Switch except with me its not that I had fallen out of game collecting.. but at the time I had zero interest in any new modern consoles and thought i was done forever with new consoles.. but then one day i finally caved on got the Switch.. and ive been HOOKED ever since! LOVEEEEE my Switch!

@@LegallyInsaneGamer I hear you, exactly the same for me, i still don`t even have a ps5 or xbox, there just isn`t any games that really interest me, maybe when grand theft 6 releases i`ll finally break down and get a modern console. Even with switch, I regretfully put off getting one for so long. I`ve only owned one for close to a year and already have over 100 physicals, all imports and obscure titles aside from the big nintendo games. The selection of games is phenomenal! The other thing I`ve noticed as I`ve gotten older, i`ve fallen out of huge openworld 3d games. I prefer the sidescrolling classics or modern made ones. Switch has so f`n many its overwhelming. And it sounds silly but from a collectors perspective, I love how all of the switch cases have red spines with white font lettering. It looks fantastic on a shelf. I think Nintendo was self aware from the get go that switch was going to cater to the collectors and they fully embraced it. Its going to be looked back at as one of the greatest consoles to ever exist and games will be worth a fortune a decade from now. I look at every game I buy as an investment but tbh I don`t think I`ll ever part with any of them lol

Ebay actually has GREAT buyer protection, sadly its actually the sellers that are taking all the risk from scammer buyers. The stress of selling on ebay is the harder part, I know cause I also sell lol

@@LegallyInsaneGamer oh okie dokie - I was scared of being tricked - I just wanna buy games at at fair price for both me and seller

@@marcusgrissett7988 Great minds think alike!

Depends on the definition of cheap.. one method i was able to get several STEALS for rare 360 and Wii games was via local sales where some mom was selling her console with all the games.. BUT.. paying $50 can still be cheap if the value of that game long term is expected to be $100-$500 for example.. paying $50 or even $100 for that rare game today on ebay is still going to save you a lot of money and look very cheap when it doubles, triples, etc.

@@LegallyInsaneGamer I know but what do you generally define as potentially profitable? Not every jrpg/horror game will go up, I heard getting the weird never seen before games are a good idea but that doesn’t always work either

@@fcdavidg4751 Research on the games is exactly how :) Youve already hit the first nail "the weird never seen before games". Avoid high print run/common games is the first step, next step find the hidden gems and the strange and unique games. A common occurrence youll find is that a lot of the games that go up huge in value also received terrible reviews at the time of release (and may still be terrible games later too, but some are found as cult classics later on as well, but regardless those are the games that were ignored by the market and or had low print runs).

@@LegallyInsaneGamer So games that skyrocket in price like brotherhood of steel on OG XBOX, it goes from being $30 to $60 to $80 all in a span on 2 months, will this game ever return to that or exceed that price point or is that merely a once in a lifetime experience. Some of these game feel like stonks lol how they go up so fast then down the next

@@LegallyInsaneGamer Would you recommend the purchase of Godzilla (PS4) for $180, CIB? I have a feeling in 8+ years it will be like Rule of Rose $800?

Clearly yes. Many switch games are complete on cart vs needing a ton of supplementary downloads

@@kdogg7882 But which games? Like do you think Wii and Wii U will still have a revival within the next decade? I think so but probably not so much Wii as it had printed too many games

Very common. VGP has it all the time.
