Those fellow Italians at the beginning are so loud and foul mouthed I almost shed a patriotic tear 🥲🇮🇹

@@ScruffyLookinRGB They were just talking about console prices, flavored with a bunch of "cazzo" and "porca troia", in a classic Italian fashion. That's because it's our duty to always be recognizable when we travel. And you're lucky there were no girls around!
What a relaxing video to start the day with. 19:55 the perfect background music 🤣

Prices might have gone up but I'm hopeful when I see that first place! I'm going to dig in the junk section at the Hard off's in the Nagoya suburbs in the coming days. Should be some great deals out there still.

Thank you sir. Hope to have a new refurb episode out Very soon!
Surprised you don’t have more followers / views. A lot of the game hunt videos with mad views are from people who seem to have just a superficial interest in games sadly. Great channel, keep it up!

@@ScruffyLookinRGB at the first store I found two switch lights for 11000 yen a GameCube with GBA adapter for 4400 yen a sega Dreamcast for 1180 yen and finally a PS Vita 2000 forgot the price but the second store I got a N64, PS3 (backwards compatible) and a few PSPS
It's interesting how the cost and quality of stuff vary from place to place. I like how the mobile store lets you test stuff.

Realy cool of them. It's not so often you get to test out junk before you buy it.
Isn't that the old Gamers location? Remember getting a GameBoy Light on the 4th floor a while back. Good to know it's still a dope place to go to!

There is a good chance it is working but you dont know until you get it home.
I found world mobile by accident and bought a GBA SP for 6600 yen. Only minor scratches and the light adjustment button didn't work, but works perfectly fine otherwise! Good place to find cheap gaming consoles, of course they are not 100% but they most likely work.

15000 to 20000 yen usually but it all depends on the place you find it. So it's hard to say
Been a while since you've done a gba video so that could be a good idea if you're in need of ideas.

Tell me about it. atleast it's a little bit cheaper than the US still
Is there a video I can check out as a sort of guide on how to sort through this stuff/which things to purchase. I would love to get a gameboy or psvita, but I’m not very much of a refurbisher. From what I understand they’re labeled as “junk” but that doesn’t mean it’s unable to be used? That first store seemed like it sells workable things!

Usually thinks in the junk actually work. id say 90 percent of the time. If you take the time to clean them up and like to tinker with soldiering and cleaning up connections it gets things running quite nicely. That is a good idea for a future video thanks.
Word Mobile 4th floor is no longer junk stuff. There was a guy repairing something and there is now a repair counter? I was there yesterday.

Really, that's to bad. It's gotten quite barren in there lately but did think they would git rid of it.
If I really dig, is there any chance of finding 3DSs in good condition (not perfect of course) under ¥6000?
