    @@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!

    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.

    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.
