This Rental Store Hoarded 50,000 Retro Game Manuals... 

My favorite is when the manuals have artwork different than the case/box itself

Lets go Rev good to see you here, Chase and crew are top tier creators aswell !

Exactly what these are someone was dumpster diving and had the sense to save these I was stupid and left them in the dumpsters when I did that early 2000s 😂

@@alienvampirebusterswhoyoug8257 It was dumb for stores, such as Babbage's, to destroy them, when they likely could have sold them for so much more money with the boxes and manuals. I heard two reasons for this, from my district manager, and from Babbage's' corporate office. First, I was told that it was due to some sale's associates mixing up trade-in with returned stock. The backroom could very quickly fill up with piles of both. We often had to stop taking trade-ins due to how full our room would get. The other reason, which seems a bit more believable, was that Nintendo was very unhappy with us selling their used games, especially N64, and Game Boy, for 50% less, whilst having them include the same box and manuals. They likely wanted us to make them less desirable, and marketable, so that people may prefer new over used. I know they really didn't like it when we started putting stickers on their display boxes, which read, "Want to save money? Buy a used copy today!". The Nintendo rep always let me know how much she hated that. ... haha!

Came here just to say this! lol :D

I agree helps with what to do with it all

He usually says what he paid for big lots. I'd suspect he paid pennies on the dollar and that's why he's not saying what he paid

@@nickpapagiorgio2253 or maybe it’s a percentage thing.

@@nickpapagiorgio2253I would guess less or around 5k if that

You’re right!!

Bro you made my day better

Its a 100 bucs Manual

Sort by console, get complete list of console games with UPCs, create complete list, scan all the boxes, then sort scan manuals, while organizing keeping manuals and boxes separate. Set up ads and sell. Pick as you go.

@@Steelflight773 that's it!! I must have mixed it up in my head with legend of lagaia which is a totally different jrpg 😂

@@anxiousArtisan I cannot believe I remembered since I only played it once back then. Seeing the Tower of Babel on the map struck my memory.

@@anxiousArtisan I also remember there was a tshirt included with the purchase of the game. Not sure if all of them included it or a limited amount. My friend who got it wore it at school all of the time. That is how we became friends since it struck up a conversation about games. We still talk today.

@@Steelflight773 whaaaat I'm jealous of your friend lol. I think the copy we had when I was a kid was used so we never had the map insert - I just recognized some of the enemies and locations when it went by.

lol sad you celebrate this.

@@TheNeuman What's the alternative you'd prefer?? That all the manuals got destroyed or sent to a landfill? That some even greedier collector just hoards them all for life? I mean yeah obviously CATRP is gonna make bank with these, but they are ready and willing to spread them all out to collectors, so everything is going to the best possible places it can go.

@@Konitama alternative would not have 1 single person own all these. Literally the guy above me stated they can control the market price by whatever they want to charge. Glad you all celebrate it. They make bank off all their “fans”. 😂 glad you cheer for them. It’s crazy how blind some people can be

​@@TheNeuman100%

@TheNeuman the market comment was somewhat said in jest, while yes they may have some short term impact on the market for this stuff it will likely be downward pressure due to the sheer volume of the supply they have hitting the market at once (basics of supply and demand). But I think to answer the rest of your comment I’d ask you, how would you suggest the ownership of these products be reorganized? Literally these were forgotten “trash” that another vendor who paid for all of them originally had laying around. If that vendor decides to sell this later on to group like the CARTP group who will take the time to get this back into collectors hands so be it. Finally what I’m celebrating is the hustle, work ethic and relentless focus that I see from these young guys. But hey, it’s a RU-vid video, let’s agree to disagree it sound like and move on with our lives

They are u should definitely reach out to riff or retro rick since he has a store

There would be no money in that for him. Remember its about getting as much money as possible from people

@@nickpapagiorgio2253 smh man don’t hate on the hustle.
