I paid $1,000 for this blind box of video games.

One of my buddies was selling his game collection so, without thinking, I bought it all for $1,000. He accepted thinking I overpaid but we'll see about that in this unboxing video.

John, If you look very closely at the lower-left corner of the label on X-Men for the NES, right below the Seal of Quality, there is a controller code that from what I remember unlocks a secret room or dialog. What makes that interesting is that the code was right in front of our faces this entire time.

I don't think Kirby's Dreamland, Metroid 2 and The Lion King for Gameboy are worth anywhere near $121 but I still think you made out well and more importantly, helped a friend which is great in itself. It was fun to watch. Makes me a bit depressed because I sold a ton of my games when I needed cash a few years ago. Almost my entire collection of sealed PS1 games. Games that I loved growing up, a few a which were highly graded. It will bother me forever, but hey, games are for playing and life goes on. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂

Thank you John! I've always felt iffy about Price Charting values. E-bay sold is basically the best estimation tool we have. Unless something weird happens with a franchise or something that spikes or dips value. Now to finish watching the video. I stopped the moment that message popped up!

@bryanobrien2726 11 ай бұрын

Yeah , pricecharting doesn't filter it's results beyond keywords . A lot of sellers put CIB in all of their titles , even incomplete items which causes real CIB games to be generally priced too low .

He got a good price for a $1000. The time alone to list and sell all those carts individually would have been overwhelming and if selling online would have been less than a $1000 after seller fees and having to claim that on taxes if it’s more than $600 sold in one year.

$1,000 to spend on games is a dream to come true for me. When you're living on paycheck to paycheck paying all kinds of bills like housing, food, vehicle, etc it is hard to buy games but if flipping games is worth doing I would love to get into that but there is a lot of competition out there and I know it can't be too easy to do
