Yea, it's just a bad experience, there was a time at a pawn shop I found some pretty valuable 3ds games. There were no prices on their games and the guy at the counter didn't even know how to look up prices right so i sat there for like 20 minutes only for them to quote the higher sold listings of the games. It's just annoying as hell, wastes the customers time and will mostly just end up in people walking away.

Trust me it gets alot worse, every store in England has everything priced at, around or above market value.

Same for some shoe stores

Yeah agreed. The ONLY pawn shop near me does this and I HATE it

That's when you just walk away

Our's isn't retro but their prices were 10-20 dollars higher on switch games. They're called EB Games but I call them Expenisive Buying Games because of obvious reasons

Agreed

Yeah very stupid to put in all that work just to make a couple bucks you would have missed yesterday because the game jumped a couple bucks over night comes off as very picky and it wastes a whole lot of time that customers would be more willing to take there time and money else where so they can just buy there stuff and leave I mean what they do in there place is on them but being very boring and picky about prices like this is a very good way turn away customers so not very smart business sense at all that's for sure

Yes and it makes us not go to stores but buy it online instead. Store owners shoot their self in the foot like this

They are doing the same thing he is doing for all we know they have an only store or place them online also. It's wrong for a business to make money but not the random guy buying things and selling them for a higher price the same day?

Let him have a taste of his own medicine smh…

Pretty hypocritical of a reseller complaining about shops looking up prices when he himself looks up prices in front of them in order to sell for higher online.

@@nazunaaaaaa LMAO fax

@@nazunaaaaaa exactly lmao like they’re both doing the same thing just one is at a shop front and the other is online. Regardless it’s reselling

@@nazunaaaaaa Here's the thing. If I want to pay ebay and amazon prices, I'll fucking go to ebay or amazon. I'm not going to a garage sale or pawn shop to pay online pricing, I'm there for a deal. Even aside from resellers, this is incredibly inconvenient for your customers in general, people like knowing what the hell something costs before bringing it up.

@@TachibanaTengoku lame af

You too man

@@duncangt5604 you have a merry Christmas too

Merry Christmas!

Have a merry Christmas

Happy Christmas 🎄

Oh wow that’s awesome

Game store I went to said anything with an orange sticker is old price and they’d have to look up the new price while EVERYTHING had an orange sticker on it. PokeMon coliseum bonus disc was 150 with an orange sticker and after this woman made a phone call she said it be 500. I’m a believer it’s a way to launder money somehow because no chance they make any sales

@@lennydoeswalkthrough mines even worse all their stickers still look the same but they will cross it out in pen and write it in by hand! It's like Everytime a price moves they cross it out when you get up to pay and go oh it's more..... Never price it under when it goes down though and Its only certain employees not all of them weird.

I mean if they pay out based on looking it up and selling it for max, I have no issue. But if they pay based on a fixed price, they should fix the mark up and be done with it. That's how both ways work. Don't mix the two. So he should have tried to pawn something to see how fair they were.

@@petek7217 Exactly! I don't mind if they are unmarked then look it up that's on them I mean it's not a great business model imo but to each their own. If they want to mark up do it after or before store opens check some of the titles and mark them. Don't have it priced then I get up to check out and go oh that's not right this went up now it's higher.

@@pokenoodlepacks yeah, that's more like it. Price it daily... I retract half my intent from my statement.

You can thank resellers like this guy for that.

@@TupacShakur69 It's so funny that people don't realize the reason why this is happening is because of flippers like this dude. Video game prices are way to volatile right now it would be stupid to not look up every single game you're trying to sell. It takes 5 seconds per game and could cost the store 10's to 100s of dollars depending on the market.

@@seemlesslies I’ve seen other people also say reseller “caused this” and made stores start looking up prices to avoid losses but I still don’t understand how. If resellers are making the market more volatile how could stores lose money if they don’t look up prices before a sale? Even if they sold it for lower than market price they would still be making money if they sold it for more than they got. Yes they wouldn’t be making the highest amount possible off the sale but they wouldn’t actually be losing anything. Or am I missing something here?

@@aln2419 Because that's just not how business works. Also people are MUCH more sensitive to losing money than they are to gaining it. For instance if you think you sold someone for a fair price today, but found out a day or two later it was worth double it sits really poorly. I think you're under the impression that these gaming companies are your friend and want to give you good deals. They are businesses (most of them honestly struggling to keep above water), and they have realized these assholes will come into their store with a smile on their face and rip them off and then go post videos online and you expect these store owners to just be like ehhhh it was only 20 dollars.......

@@seemlesslies yes I know that how businesses work(apparently better than you) but to claim someone is getting ripped of or that they are losing money if false. If I bought a stock from someone and it goes up in price did I rip someone off? Did they lose any money? You can say you dislike what they are doing but you can’t say the the store is losing money from in or they’re getting ripped off. them making the market more volatile actually makes it possible for these stores to make more money. If a store sells a product under value no one has ripped them off and they haven’t lost a cent if they made more than what they bought it for. All I expect is for stores to be smart enough to price their products correctly instead of searching it up when you get there. Obviously it’s their right to do business how they want but most consumers don’t like these type of business practices.

I was about to say the same thing. I was like that looks like the forts mega!

Yep! I stop at that mega replay at least 3 times a week! Really good prices when you find the right games!

Happy to see other Fort Wayne peeps watching!

I absolutely understand this man - super annoying when I lived in Miami

That's odd, I thought the department of weights and measures rule was that a product MUST be sold for the price stated on it. I have used this rule to get a sphero r2d2 from kohl's for 50.00 acouple years ago, as well as items from target and frys Electronics. Kohls had stated the price to me over the phone and held it for me, I had to request a store manager to get it. On target it was for a Air cleaner and they had the wrong price on the end cap and on the box, upon checkout they said it was 300.00, but I asked for a manager and had taken a pic to show him which helped because they'd sent someone to check and he lied about the price and changed it but he didn't know it had the pic. Frys electronic were Jenks and didn't want to sell a 10.00 camera stand for like 7.00, the manager blew me off, I wrote a email to the store manager and also the az dept of weights n measures who faulted frys for shenanigans having items on a end cap or sticker but selling for more. This was all like 8 years ago but I can't imagine it's changed much.

I won't buy from stories like that. Part of going to these stores to get under pricecharting- finding that gem that you can afford. No point if they are using pricecharting or ebay for every single game every single time. Nope

I've beaten Mario 64 multiple times, I can handle it

Not as well

Lmfao big facts!!!

he uses the Amazon app since he sells on Amazon , you can do it on the eBay app too just scan the barcode on there

what app

Stop cursing its a sin.................

Yes! He literally does the same to them in front of them.

He really resells and says how a store can sell a game to close to resell value. Might be a bit bias from him

@@VideInfra You missed his point. Not labelling games with prices and instead looking up prices when customers ask for it is an inconvenience to the customer because it's a time waste just so that the store doesn't lose out on a couple bucks. What he does is not the same because it uses up no one's time but his own.

@@Vanguardmetrics I totally agree & im not a reseller I just buy games for myself. I thought the store looking up the prices in front of the customer was pretty odd. Might as well just buy the games online. Although the store isn’t wrong for doing that, they have every right. Maybe they should just be prepared & have games individually priced/labeled already.

Even not from a reseller's perspective it is annoying as a customer if you see a lot of games you want and then they have to one by one search them for price, It also doesn't really make sense since if you are a collector you still want deals or else you would be spending your money on ebay since it is more convenient than going to a pawn shop.

Still puts fighters 20 years later to shame with the awesome content in that game. I don't get why a Team Battle equivalent isn't in modern fighters, we used to have 10 people playing in a single match with that.

Stop cursing its a sin dude.............

I second this, they have a business to run and although it may be inconvenient depending on the method they use they’re trying to sell their products at market price.

3rd this like I get the frustration but they are doing the same thing you are I guess

I think a pawn shop should have eBay/Amazon policy if they wanna price the same. Amazon delivers it to your door and gives a 30 day free return policy for any reason. So shipping, game quality (selling games in mint condition) and return protection is all baked into the price. So if a pawn shop looked up prices and marked everything 30% less then eBay that would likely be a more accurate price of the actual value of that game.

@@Pokedex-Family this is true. Can't sell in person and expect to get retail. And if you price your inventory close to retail they're just gonna sit.......and sit...till they finally mark them down reasonably.

@@Pokedex-Family Amazon games are not always in "mint condition". Look at the descriptions and see some of the garbage that gets offloaded on amazon even as FBA. You get to see what you are buying at the pawn shop so they don't owe you a lower price.

Bro money is the goal id be mad if I invest in something and I don’t get the return I want because people learn more about it. It’s fucked up but I care about myself I’ll rip 100 people off before I lose out on money myself

@@rapetrane You said it yourself investing on something you bought brand new & with time being worth more Absolutely get your $$$ back and some!! Hell yeah! But to go inside someone business & question the way they price their own stuff as your scanning stuff on your phone on other websites (which obviously online will be cheaper) Now that hypocritical. Here's the answer if it's not priced at your liking just walk away...I enjoy watching his videos but some days you win some. Others you loose some.
