My nephew had asked me to buy him a PS2 recently(it was his 1st console back in the day). I figured those things would be like $20 now... (nope!) - I "lucked out" and found someone locally selling a fat PS2 for $80. When I met him to buy it, he threw in 2 controllers, a memory card and a stack of games(around 11 or 12). My nephew was happy.

It does suck how corporate Goodwill got. All the good stuff goes straight to the auction site, but going to the store just to see whatever wacky things you can find is half the fun.

I've really been on a PS2 kick lately. Been playing manhunt and ratchet and clank. I played both as a kid but now can really appreciate it. It's such a good console. Even the bad games are ok in their weird way.

I like the stickers. This is probably like an elementary school kid's PS2 (due to reading power sticker.) that they played, and got resold, and got rebought then got resold to you.

i loved getting second hand memory cards just to see what saves they had on em, i still have around 20 that include some game complete saves for games ive never even played

To answer your question. Nope. In Canada its all GameStop now. They changed the name last year from EB Games to GameStop

Really made me smile to see the Video Games Etc. custom printed cover. Went to many of their stores throughout my younger years. They ran the most ridiculous radio ads too. They'd sing their name in a jingle and then in a woman's voice: "It's just a game" followed by a man's voice, literally screaming: "I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!"

And BOOM, Secret Agent Clank is the money shot! £100 over here in the UK. Been hunting that bad boy for years at a decent price. Good score 😎👍

PS2 aged so well games and system design

6:26 Iowa and Illinois. Video Games ETC. is a local store for me, i bet they gave it to the Goodwill a mile up the road 😂 you cant give that game away without adding it to a bundle. Hell it actually could’ve been mine. Crazy to think this game may have gone from one Jacob R to another Jacob R

Nice purchase there, the memory card is probably just a bit dusty/dirty on its contacts where its inserted int the port and might just need a clean with ipa and a q tip (cotton wool bud). PS2's are far from cheap these days (esp here in the UK) and boxed ones are worth a small fortune. .

Wow!!! It was cool seeing that Video Games Ect. logo. I used to shop there years ago.

Awe man! I love my Kobalt composite handle flip out box cutter!!!!

If you go to the right thrift stores you can still find stuff like this for low prices. Don't wanna reveal certain chains in particular, but it's very possible. Within the past 3 or so years I've gotten a gamecube, genesis, original xbox, 3ds (with some games + a case) for anywhere from $5-$10 per system, and all sorts of games from NES to PS4 under $5 per. Not to mention the literal stacks of xbox 360s and wiis I have found and not touched since I already had multiple of them. Point is, it's still very possible to get deals. Especially if you go to local shops. Figure out where multiple locations are and make a day out of it.

It shows you that that ps2 fat works really well because it loaded a blue disc ps2 game really well without any problems

They have eb game’s from Australia too lol

Video Games Etc is a chain store in the Eastern Iowa-Illinois area.

I was lucky enough to be in a charity shop last year when a young woman was bringing in a GameCube with 20+ games in, I told her I would pay her a decent amount rather than let her give them away for free & I ended up giving her £40 for everything she had, I have to say I bought them without seeing the games so I didn't realize at the time I would go on to make close to £900 for the console & all the games at that time (There were 3 rare games for the platform one was worth over £300 alone)

Video games etc use to be one here in iowa.

Looks like that was some kids collection of games. Only 2 games in there i like. Pinball and bowling

EB games in canada recently rebranded back to gamestop where i live a while ago

EB Games is now GameStop here in Canada.

You always paying too much

Good stuff man

I got klonoa for the ps1 for 3 bucks at a yard sale

I paid $50 for mine with all cords and an 8mb memory card and one controller all in clean and great working condition. Plus the man included 78 games for another $50

That Blue controller looks so cool i might hunt that down mind telling me who made it .

It was still called ebgames in canada until recently

Not sure if someone already told you or not. But, the Pinball game in the PS2 and the one with a case are two different games.

i have 10 game for my ps2 but im bin loveing all games i just got 1 ps2 game from good will

I love ps2 still have mine and bought a lot of games gran turismo need for speed kingdom hearts final fantasy sonic and more

11:03, 11:06 You can see that the disc tray closed by itself. 11:17 But then it just stops.

These consoles are gonna up more in price

It's GameStop in canada now

Wait how much did you pay I think j missed that part

i still have my original Super Nintendo, Dreamcast, Ps2, and GameBoy Color

I bought my ps2 slim for 25$ come with the original box,cables,memory card it only didnt come with an controller.

Eb finally changed to gamestop at least here in ontario canada

Goodwill online, you over pay, taxes and shipping is crazy, not to mention most things dirty, scratched, and doesn't work

This person had so many budget titles 🥴

ebgames in Landon Ontario Canada are all GameStop now

Could you maybe do a PSP next time? maybe the 2000 or 3000 models

Prices are coming down. There are websites that track the confirmed sales of other websites like eBay and Amazon and will make you a plot chart of the sales, over time, of whatever item you look up, and according to those websites the cost of video games, and consoles across the board are finally declining (to before Corona prices and even lower). I was also watching John riggs's new video of his trip to a gameing convention that came out maybe three days ago. And at this gaming convention he ran across multiple multiple booths with huge gaylords filled with with super Nintendo, game boy, Genesis, ps1 etc games a dollar a piece.

Disc Read Error

A bet a kid had that ps2 it seems everything kids have these days gets broke or they don't look after it

Smoked grey controller? I won't Google it because as gamers we should know 🤣

$22 for an NBA game? No wonder they only sell 3 per year

Wow! You paid too much for something? You normally pay 15-20% on huge lots of games/consoles. Good job! You’re coming a long way from your old dirtbag ways! Proud of you little man.

Not if you got the game siphon filter 1&2(:

I paid 30 bucks for mine at goodwill

Dude said bass instead of bass

Ill be buying a few of these games from your whatnot sale if you sale them on there! lol

crazy ebay sellers have to pay postage totally diff here in the uk the buyer pays postage

I was bidding on that lol

Is parappa 2 in there?

EBgames in australia :D

Got one in marocco for 60 dh 0.57 $

PS2 VS PS3

I got 2 I'll sell ya. One works 1 doesn't.

i bought mine for 20 pounds lol

It is called eb game’s

Goodwill legit is a fucking joke we will take your items give you nothing and then sell them hmmm!!

DualShock 1 does not have joysticks

Don't offer free shipping selling on ebay. If the buyer wants something they will pay for shipping. If you offer free shipping then you're the moron for losing money.

Fat ps2 > ps2 slim

Never order from goodwill online. You can get these in the wild for much cheaper. All those games are good for coasters. Sorry.

🔥

yeah goodwill is a rip, problem is they overcharge you on shipping and handling fees. Just buying some controllers they will charge 15 to ship and 4 handling plus add in taxes

Buy my wii mini

Not worth the time and effort for this lot. You didn’t even mention the taxes at the end of the year

PlayStation 2

Bruh i want

I don't know if this Jacob guy is all there or not, he's constantly overpaying for consoles and games from Goodwill. I think he's got a lot of back up money or something. Now days isn't the time to be waisting money unless you have a lot of it! Or your he's just being ignorant. And it's just for likes on KZfaq, that certainly isn't making you money, but losing money instead.

2 weeks ago i bought a ps2 slim for 10 sus + modem 15sus+ esp32 10sus+ ps3 ds3 10sus+ 5 sus usb 64gb in total = 50 bucks i play all games
