How To Make $1,000+ in Two Days Buying Video Games

Рет қаралды 71,595

Күн бұрын

This last year I've spent $50,000 on GameStop.com. Let's just say GameStop employees tend to be impressed with the points I've accrued.
This video is a full 8-step tutorial on how I buy video games on GameStop.com and sell them on Amazon. For the last 7 months or so I've been going really hard with GameStop Arbitrage, so I thought I'd share the method to my madness.

Been watching you for a while but was never subscribed. Thanks for the value, it is greatly appreciated. I started reselling few months ago because I got laid off due to covid! It’s been a lot of fun and I also went to gamestop Black Friday and bought 16 different Mario games for the switch!

Just came across your channel today. First of all I wanted to say that I absolutely love the enthusiasm and energy you have in these videos. You seem very comfortable in front of the camera and it feels like I'm having a conversation with an old friend. Mad props to you on that! Second I am really interested in starting a video game reselling side hustle of my own. I've always loved shopping for old games and just enjoy being in the video game space in general. Is this something you would recommend on the side to make a few hundred extra monthly? I'm brand new to reselling and not sure what the current market looks like (since this video was filmed in 2020 and it's 2022 as of writing this). Any tips or tricks on starting out from anyone in this community would be welcomed! Thanks in advance!

Great video. I do this too but on a much smaller scale. The problem I run into the most with GS is that they get my order wrong too often (game not in a package but on the packing slip, wrong game, etc.). Their customer service makes me want to quit, but then they suck me back in with another sale.

I only buy Nintendo branded games from these GS sales nowadays to reduce market risk. PS4 and especially XBONE games have the risk of sellers flooding the market and amazon themselves killing the price, whereas Nintendo first party titles don't often get reduced in price. The B1G1 sale was such an easy double up on almost everything.
