The Game Store Almost Fooled Me....

3 жыл бұрынI'm video game hunting for some sweet sweet profit in Indianapolis today! If you go to sleep at night and dream of pawn shops and video game stores... well you probably need therapy. But at least you'll enjoy this video first.

I grabbed an original Xbox one 500gb and 11 games on eBay a couple of weeks ago. Listed as parts/not working. I did a little research on the seller and his store, which made me think it might not be broken, more they didn’t test it and to cover themselves listed as parts. Obviously there’s a risk/reward here that I accepted..I have some limited knowledge in console repair. I offered the seller $140 shipping included for all which they accepted. Got it in the mail and it works perfectly. Just needed a controller and some updates!

Disc Replay is legit. I'm in southwest Michigan and my nearest one is known as Disc Trader's. Usually the majority of games are close to their worth there, but a few weeks ago I found an original NES game so cheap I thought it was mislabeled or mismarked. Gold color cartridge original The Legend of Zelda in seriously like new condition for, get this, a mere .99!!! It really rang up as such plus they have a policy that if something doesn't ring up what it's tagged at they have to give it to you for the tagged price.

Talking about PC games, there are way more PC gamers than console gamers. I am "always" on the lookout for PC games, especially big box PC games. I recently picked up The Sims: Complete Collection for $2 at Goodwill a few weeks ago. What a score, and it was CIB! I also found a Trophy Bass by Sierra sealed for $5 at a local flea market, and a unique Sonic CD PC game at my local Goodwill that I just couldn't pass up for $2.
