this.

I’d love to see this and also using other games/copies for good booklets and stuff to make games complete

Good idea! Like a video game preservation/restoration guide.

Aerospace 303 white bottle spray is excellent at rejuvenating tired plastic. Wiping down older game cases with it makes it look so much better.

Yes! I have so many damaged games, would love to see how to repair them.

Or San Diego if you watch Pat the NES Punk's Flea Market Madness videos over the years.

In Southeast Asia, most stores would display them in a glass display case that has light bars built into it (like how store owners would display their brand new smartphones). If the seller display the game in some way that the light bar can shine directly on the game cover, that can also causes the game cover to fade overtime. I've seen it happened to PURE (PS3) game cover when I was looking for 2nd hand games at my local game stores, it's not pretty.

Which means Mystic lives in Colorado? 😳

@@michaelchronicles9780 he bought all of these online

@@xxxCRUSNIKxxx it's still possible it didn't sell on an outdoor fleamarket and got put up for sale online as well.

YES. Calms my nerves, which are always frayed.

Same, just came out of nowhere

hang on to it

I have multiple. I have a nose for this kinda thing. Multiple copies of lollipop as well.

@@PrmtymeTheGamer84 NICE! one game I really want is valkyrie profile ps1 I have the psp ver. I also got RE: outbreak 1 and 2

Same. Mine is sealed. Plan on playing it, but I picked it up a while back before the price went sky high

I played Folklore first time on my new PS3 in 2007 when I lived in IE. Didn't even know it's about Irish mythology.

Super interesting game, you don't see risks like folklore as much anymore

I passed on it as I wasn't feeling the demo at all, but I did eventually pick it up before the price went up because I kept seeing it on Hidden Gem lists

I feel only IGN did justice to Folklore in their review. It’s a really nice game.

With no bias included, is it a good game?

Spent a good 2-3 years of my childhood messing w them things lol. Still think they're dope

Still have my original toa nova somewhere that combine to make a big one

@@TheCarpenterUnion I remember that one

Same here. They seriously make me want to scour eBay to. If I get lucky.

I think you meant “scour eBay too.” Or maybe “scour eBay to see if I get lucky.” I don’t know.

@@MyManJFKTV did you just reply to your own comment?

@@iamchaos252 - Yeah, man. Even without the convenient pun, my life is chaos. It’s humid here.

@@MyManJFKTV understandable. I am Chaos, we are all chaos. Have a good day, sir

What about actual Bionicles

@@looming_lawsuit In my parents' basement.

Think I still have Bionicle heros for the Wii

Also got it for 10 or 15€ in January.

I got folklore for $2 at gamestop back in 2019

🍀

Yup I got folklore for 14.99 about a year ago

If he did Xbox news then there would be no videos because Xbox has no games.

@@John-X Bruhhhh 😂

😂

What this guy said 😂👊👊

He ain't ever sharing lmao

Yeah i dont think that copy of Fokelore has any neat history. I used to get tons of games and CDs that had the barcode scratch/punch - its free ones they send to reviewers and discount bin stuff. IMO it makes it no more or less desirable - as its the game i want - a clean disc is more important than sealed or graded or any of the current nonsense. Worst timer to buy games in history. But yeah IMO I dont care about barcode! wouldn't hurt the value. :) but i dont think it could possibly add in any way.

I bet right now it would be the same for the English version if a copy turned up at a retailer like GameStop, or if a store that doesn't specialize in games had a copy. But if you found it in a local store that specialized in older products they'd probably be aware of the game's relative rarity, and probably would price a pre-owned copy around $60-$75, or an unopened copy would probably be around the same amount as in the video. Pricing on old games is weird sometimes.

You're in for a treat if you ever get it

You have to listen to its soundtrack, its really good!

Ive found it for 5$ on marketplace was really happy, crazy how it went up

I meant to buy it about a year ago because I knew the price would jump and I didn’t 🤬

@@twinturbojunkie7121 an (ex) buddy of mine stole my PS3 and a ton of games about 4 years ago. Couldn't replace it because of $

So did I. I dont get the hate. It's much better than a lot of other games 🤷🏼‍♂️

Didn't think i want the ps5, but Joe's diner got patched to work.

Do people actually like that game?

Did it come with the shitty generic gamestop case or the original case ?

38£ in Cex, seen last Sun, PS3 version. Same happened with Ratchet to the Nexus.

and splatter house is basically a collection edition. So it gets even harder to find

@@dralakba-dusk31 Another game that has gone up in price is def jam fight for New York

Yeah I’ve seen the small square of bubble wrap used before, but just a piece of masking tape is a great idea too. (Much cheaper for frequent sellers to boot.)

if the adhesive is too tacky or strong on the tape, it could risk ripping part of the disc label off. This in turn would most likely ruin the disc and render it unusable. Maybe a smiley face sticker might suffice? As long as it don't touch any part of the label. The tape idea was good in thought but unfortunately there was a con to it.

@@tainteddragon2438 ive actually done this to get the data side off to make guitar picks out of aol disks and unless you use extremely high quality duct tape it wont work, but if you use frog tape or something it wont do anything

@@tainteddragon2438 It's masking tape, not duct tape. It's not going to hurt anything. It would hardly pull the hair off your arm if you put it on it.

i found all of emr for DIRT CHEAP a few years ago. never have ran into pupateer though. i can't believe R&C into the nexus has went up so high i think i traded some random game for it several years ago when PS3 games were going for almost NOTHING.

Prices are silly for sure!!! Its bugging me. im making a lot of money selling my games, but i just have a lot of games, im not a "collector" per say., I just buy and love a lot of games, and buy games i want to play but never do. None of my friends are impressed ha-ha - i buy games to play. So this price increase means games I want to play are just getting stupid prices for no real reason... Its making me like digital which i never thought id say!!! I had Puppeteer and 3D Dot Heroes back in the day new. Played them, didn't like them, sold them. Loved the aesthetic for both. But couldn't get into them. I personally (and many other at the time) didnt think they are worth $60 (I think Puppeteer was like $40?). So $40-$60? Sure. But people are paying waaaay more now. They are just not worth paying a lot for. Just arent. I get some people might like them. Not bashing the games. But they didn't even review well back then - seeing the prices now. Crazy. Its this weird collectors, investment, FOMO crazy hysteria thats caught on (Joes Diner for $80, WTF!!?). Game prices are dumb now. i love River City Rampage, got all the 3DS games. River City Girls came out, I dont usually do it but splurged and got the Limited Run version. Its a $30 digital game. Thats what its worth. I think I paid $45? i see on a website its now $140+!? its a year old! So dumb. I immediately sold it yesterday, bought the $30 digital version, and im just holding my $110 laughing. I dont get it. --- everyone asking "does it have the card with it?". Yeah it did, but holy shit you want a video game for the card it came with? Im an 80 year old man screaming "stay off my lawn!". im over collecting I think :)

Maybe sun damage? I don’t know, but I’ve seen it too a few times.

Sun damage those stores usually leave them out in the open

Or they printed their own covers, and their printer didnt have the same kind of paper and vibrant ink that the video game companies use 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also, wtf is Joe's Diner?

When I buy a game to collect I don’t really have any intention of selling it so price is irrelevant lol

@@nineten9011 same here. I also have a problem that I don’t sell... I have some expensive duplicates, I might sell one day, but I’m just so lazy lol

For 360?
