Good Info man thanks

Glad you were able to get your money back!

The guy who owns the flea market has the scratch and dent appliance business and all those statues is his personal collection of stuff. That old guy who sells games his crap gets rained on, sun faded, and he still wants more than eBay mint copies.

Awesome hunting vid! A good rule of thumb when looking for retro is whenever you see Pokémon GBA games prices at $30 each they are probably a repro. Same with N64 games that are oddly clean with no label wear or damage it’s most likely a repro. Don’t sweat it, repros still get past us to this day especially when buying collections!

Also in the video it looked liked the labels were extra 'glossy'. Also a thing to look out for :)

Thanks for the tips and the help with these. I'll definitely be more attentive to detail next time. Thanks AK!

*W@$$UP!!* Wow thanks for the #tip on what to look for on N64 Games... Never to Old to learn.

Official Nintendo 64 games have numbers indented on the back that help identify.

You can also tell from the glossyness of the labels on the front and back. Normally it doesn't have a glossy finish like the ones you got

That old man had no clue nice guy glad he was understanding

Or he knew they were fake , bought it for 2 dollar each and selling for 30

Hi

Had a similar problem with some fake merchandise I bought at a flea market in Pineville, NC. When I went back for a refund, the vendor put up a stink. But when I said I would call the cops, many other vendors came over and forced the man to give me my refund. It would seem that many of the sellers there were in the country illegally, and wanted no one from law enforcement asking questions at the market.

Glad you got your money back. That sounded like a tense situation

Glad that you got your money back. The gentleman said he bought storage lockers so it's possible that the original owner didn't know they were reproductions.

Man when I saw the Emerald saphire and ruby pokemon I was like.. no way those are legit

lol you got it. He probably had tons of repros there

When you said you were going to try and return those games, I thought: “Good Luck”, but I was glad he didn’t give you a hard time about ‘em! You do have to be careful when at the fleas!

Actually if the vender is still there, he risks a visit from the local police department. I am sure that is the reason he got his money back so easily.

I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but he refunded me pretty easily. I think he knew the games were fake, but oh well. Thanks for watching!

I knew about the Nintendo logo on the back and amazingly enough it was probably the same video you suggested or it could have been another like a short. I’m very annoyed that reproduction games exist since I don’t want those in our collection. Thank goodness that confrontation ended smoothly.

Sadly with the spike of retro game prices, reproduction cartridges seem to be popping up everywhere.

I wouldn't of taken them back. all sales final.

Nice vid I have a question about buying Walmart Lego clearance. My store has the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express for $49 normally 80 and I'm debating on whether or not I should buy them because the set is supposed to retire soon but the discount is only 39% off. What do you think?

very educational and informative video. Thank you for showing the good and the bad ! I am fairly new at the resell game so I appreciate anything I can learn to help me. I don’t think that man knew those were repros. Keep the great videos coming!

I could tell it was fake from the get go. The label was to shiny and it didn't have the stamp on the back. On buying rare expensive games I bring my screw driver and open the cartridge.

Yup I felt the same way. Thanks for watching Todd!

What I wouldn't give to have my original David Prowse autographed leather Darth Vader costume (labeled #1 of 10) that I won in a sneak peek of the original director's cut of Star Wars in November 1976...all 465 pounds of it... I won it in a raffle after the 4 1/2 hour screening... They cut a lot out for the May 1977 premiere... A family friend won the Chewbacca costume with Peter Mayhew's autograph (#1 of 15) on the label... I eventually sold the Vader costume to my friend's son for $50K in cash (to go with the Chewbacca his father gave him in his will) before moving to Vegas... I was sad to see it go...but I didn't want to lug that costume all around Las Vegas with what I thought at first as bad knees... This part is the worst thing about Star Wars... Dave Prowse was an absolute prick when it came to autographs... For one...he hated giving autographs... He'd state that every single one he saw online was a fake and especially on one that I had a picture of him actually autographing that photo as authentication... I think breathing all that leather in did something to his brain... Either that or the steroids he used as a body builder...

That's pretty amazing that you had won the original costume from back then. Jealous because I'll never own anything half that cool. I'm guessing the new Vader suits are a lot lighter and not as well made these days. Thanks for watching again RR!

Do ya research before buying anything you don't know about plain and simple lucky you got money back if it was a younger guy probably would of had an issue

The backwood flea markets are sketchy at best.

Yup. Can confirm

I wouldn’t call it scammed. To me being scammed implies intent. I don’t think that guy knew about it, and he was likely scammed when being sold that merchandise. I doubt if he was a scammer that he would have so easily agreed to give your money back.
