That game gear deal I would of left all of there tbh. For a couple reasons if you're running a yard sale or flea booth and you want to price everything individually then do it beforehand. The other is they want 10% below eBay. That's not really a deal id rather go on eBay and pick something in nicer condition. Normally unless it's something I really want if they can't give me a price I don't waste my time. And game gear, they are fixable but they are probably the toughest to recap.

Thank you so much for checking out the older videos! You’ll be happy to know I am eagerly editing the next one as well, and it should be a really special episode, no spoilers ;-)

Excellent pickups!!! You can't beat $1-$2 games. I really liked how you negotiated the pricing with the guy who sold you the Sega Game Gear. You brought up some great points during the negotiation such as him not needing to pay shipping and other Ebay fees. I need to use that approach when I am gaming hunting. Appreciate the ❤‍🔥content man!

@ElDabstroyero

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words! $1-2 games are my bread and butter and I’d be content if every video was boxes of those haha Some negotiations are easier than others! This was a tricky one because he clearly knew what he had and knew what he wanted for it… but at the end of the day, it’s a yard sale, not Ebay! You can’t expect Ebay prices if I woke up and trekked my butt to your neighborhood for broken merchandise haha - that don’t make a lick of sense!

Sometimes people that are comparing it to ebay prices forget that there's 12.9% fees of the item you sold then you have to package and ship them. They think selling online is free lol.

So true, Flip! I also got hit with a random ad fee of 20% on Ebay too, even though I never selected to use ad placements! If I would subtract eBay fees from that Game Gear, I probably would’ve only paid the seller $10 for it when all was said and done lol

Wooo let's go, this is always the way I want to spend part of my weekend, Watching Eldabstroyero hunting for games. Can't wait to see how all of this unfolds. Just the opening clips got me pumped for sure to see it all play out. There is always a problem with the Game Gear, I have one, but it seems that the speakers was a big problem I remember hearing about them, I might have to look into it and ask a buddy to potentially look at it and get it going again, as I'm not that handy when it comes to the soldering side of repairs and such. I'm more of a open up and clean up a bit kinda guy lol. I think for it not working at all or least ot powering on, I would of passed on the Game Gear, especially since I got mine with busted speakers (and a MMPR game) for $10. That next sale with $2 a piece games, wooooo that's more like it. 100% would of grabbed all the cartridge stuff for a couple bucks a piece, no doubt, if it cleanable why not. That's what I love to see at sales, a box full of cheaply priced games, love the digging through them. Then on top of already being cheap, he worked a deal with ya, I might of been tempted to pick up the whole box to be honest. Nice score and variety from that one. I think I would of taken a chance on the DK for 64, even if it don't work, I've wasted more money on less lol. For the obscurity of Game Gear stuff in my area, I would of picked them up as well. Nice to find and some cool titles for sure. For me it seems like Sega games in general is defiently the more harder to find stuff - whether it be Genesis, Dreamcast or Game Gear. Awesome to see though. Hard to pick just one of the best things in this video, think my top 3 would be: The Game Gear/GG Games, Dracula and Tiny Toons. Wish you the best of luck on getting the Game Gear up and running, keep us updated for sure on that one. Then I seen the update almost as soon as I typed that one, F in the comments for the Game Gear, might not be a complete lost, but defiantly a much bigger project to have even a CHANCE on it working. This was an epic hunt, as it usually is with you my dude. Keep up with the great work, and good luck on getting to 100 episodes, hitting 3k subs (and beyond), and also on growing the collection. Cheers dude, see you for the next one. #Roadto3k

Great to hear from you again, Neil! Glad to be part of your weekend routine! I had not known about the audio issues on the GG, I wonder if that's an easy fix. Believe me, I'm with you - I was prepared to do some soldering but realllly don't want to haha. Consensus seems to be I should have passed on the Game Gear - my FOMO got me this time. The tricky thing about those $2 carts, the chips looked bad - had they been something more valuable I think I would have grabbed them anyway, but for what they had, I skipped it this time. And in hindsight, yeah I should have grabbed the box haha - probably could have got it for $50. Funny you mention Dreamcast, because I've never seen much of that around, so it's a system I have barely any games for. Game Gear efforts are on pause for now, but I do have a friend who is willing to take a look, so we'll see! Thanks so much for all the love! See you on the next episode! OH YEAH!
