sourcing at all levels, I am an everything seller on ebay, but specialize in records. worked at a record store for 10 years, so made a lot of connections, lots of collection buys, pickers that i buy from regularly, and people that refer folks to me that want to sell their record collection or even a box or so. When I feel like it or its winter time if needed I will source online looking for deals or lots on ebay, margins are less but still tend to do 30-50% depending on the deal online. garage and estate sale season is on, and its fun because of the treasure hunt.

That’s my couple boxes of games at the beginning with the jaws 5 screw! So glad I was able to do business with you lads and it’s awesome seeing the crew react the same way to the cartridge as my buddies and I when we found it! I hope you make big fat bux 💰 and if the yard sales are good to me I’ll hopefully be in contact again!

That’s not a reseller, that’s a finder with a commission fee

Heres what i notice out in the wild. People dont look at each other. Especially in places like Goodwill and Garage Sales the resellers will just put their head down and avoid everyone while trying to sneak around and get all the best stuff. Dont do that. I open my body language in these places, keep my head up, make eye contact with people, and make meaningful conversation about stuff other than what they are selling. Reselling doesn't have to be a shady business, you just gotta be open about it.

the insight you folks give is priceless. couldn't agree more about the not seeing the competition in a negative light. i mainly source vtg t-shirts and the amount of resellers i meet at the thrifts is ALOT. i am constantly introducing myself, ive been able to score on lots they sell for great deals. not to mention the amount of places to source they've also told me about. kill em with kindness!

My question is like if I start out with garage sales which for the past couple of weeks has worked pretty decent so far I think but what do I do in the winter when those sales end

Have u sold everything from the hobby shop ? any upcoming videos ?

I can never imagine you frustrated . You always seem to have a calm mindset and positive one

I wanna share my biggest frustration… I’m on rural Texas and I truly envy the stuff you guys find cause seems people in Midwest and your area actually took care of stuff cause around here the small amount stuff I find it’s close to garbage, thankfully I do have a connection that operates at level 5 so I get good stuff that way but wish I could it at garage sales price. Done venting

Do you know where that custom Charizard Gameboy Color came from? I'm would like to purchase one to add to my collection.

I thank you for making this channel I appreciate it

We're filming a video, Matt! 😂😂

Im level 1 and started about a month ago, goodwills, thrift stores and online as well. Have all the PlayStation systems in working conditions and n64 as well as games, keeping those for myself and my son to enjoy but reselling everything else. I work night shifts and am able to be early when stores open for good deals, having lots of fun finding childhood memories and making money doing it.

Quickest way to tell on the DS games is look at the top for the “rectangle” in the center with the lines. Fake ones have no lines or rectangle on the top at all, it’s just a plain smooth top across. Real DS games have that small indent in the center. Quickest way to tell and it’s correct 99% of the time unless someone actually swapped out the outer shell. I’ve never seen it be incorrect.

what kills me is the game stores that wont sell to a amazon seller and call us resellers even tho the game stores are resellers or they limit how many copies of a game you can buy doesnt seem to make any sense to me since the bottom line is making money to stay open

I also struggle with friends or family having a victim mindset, I like your caveat about having compassion for them. I wish I could do more but I think it’s just one of those things you realize by yourself

Hey Chase, I just found skies of Arcadia legends for $45 at a local store, would you recommend keeping it or flipping it?

I think I’m gonna sell it because I’d rather have the extra cash than a 50 hour long rpg lol.

Love your videos but it would be great if you did some content with some other big time resellers and interview them/tour their space on how they run and operate their business. Sort of like phoenix resales store tours but for non store front resellers?

I'm at level 1 but I do have a couple of connections that gets me on the edge of level 2. I have a full time job that makes it very hard to get to garage sales and other types of sales also I live in the DFW area of Tx so the competition is very high. This is where edge of level 2 comes in to play. The connections that I do have normally are wanting to sell me everything and not piece it out and I end up with a bunch of games that are almost worthless. How or what is the best way to sale them? I can't bring myself to just throw them in the trash.

I can't wait to see u and the crew on whatnot. Big fan.

I’ve sourced online my whole life, had no idea it was a level 4 form of sourcing lol

Im been hanging around level 1 and 2 for about a year now and Im making very good money for a 13 yr. Can you make another sourcing video?

I have a semi valuable collection, i want to start reselling. i have a lot of savings, i never went to garage sales, i can buy collections for thousands, i have the next 3 months free, should i go ahead and just buy collections or should i start at level 1 and 2?

You can do all of the above! Depending on the season, the ups and downs of opportunities that present themselves, you could find success going to game stores and more while still buying collections as they come up

Do you not think paying your fair share is the morally right thing to do? Plenty of people need assistance, as well as plenty of our systems that we take advantage of everyday need the money that comes from taxes, IRS isn't the greatest, but when we are in positions of having a hobby income, we are also in positions of paying our fair share to make sure these things stay in place.

Chase!, how would I go about entering the giveaway for the SNES Donkey Kong Country 2 CIB you showed at beginning of the video? That is a personal Grail for me! Definitely my favorite SNES Title.

That was not Mario party 3 it was Mario party for Mario party 3 the number 3 is not in the dice block it is after the word party

Question/Food for thought: ten, twenty years ago, if someone had a collection, or just a box or two of games and wanted to sell it in one go, they'd wither have a local game store, or possibly a Craigslist. Beyond that, they'd donate a box of old games, but probably not a giant collection. Today, with youtube, there is now local game stores, still Craigslist type listings or Facebook etc, and selling to a youtube personality. Currently, I know of at least 4 youtube channels I could potentially sell to if I wanted to. I assume there's way more than that, seeing as how big youtube is, and how mamy channels in a specific category there are. The question is, do youtubers take business away from local stores in any meaningful way? Every collection sold to a channel is a potential sale to a local gamestore, if the person had one near them. Obviously, the amount of extra work selling to a youtube channel may limit this type of sale mainly to people who have no other choice. Having to ship a collection, vs driving it to a store 20 minutes away, seem like a hassle to me. Then again, people may not want to go to a store in person since a lot of people a scared to interact in person it seems to me, so the online route with the extra work may be better. When your typing to someone versus face to face negotiations, the typing is less intense and confrontational to people. What do you think? Sales being driven away from local shops, or there's enough to go around for everyone?
