Aw man, if it had been in mint condition he might have given you a whole $10 in store credit...and then resold it for hundreds
Just the fact he got the word flimflam in makes me love this all the more

As a Game store owner..... This is totally how people act. If they aren't just calling in and trying to get top dollar sight unseen.

Can we just take a moment to notice the "Store Credit" to be Monopoly money?😂 Lmao. And, turns out, there are some days where the world can be just plain weird when it wants to be.
Watching droopy sticks on a PS2 controller causes me anxiety I can't explain 😂
How Dick Richards got his start 😂😂😂
It must have that new fangled wireless power supply too.

I think that I secretly watched the only remake of Wonka that I didn't know that I wanted but I'm glad that I got.
It’s actually depressing how these once-modern marvels of science are now worth pennies.

You could take an undamaged console into Gamestop and they’d still only give you 50 bucks for it and then they resell it for 200

Oh yes this thing is absolutely going to get refurbished and upsold for 50.
This "The Music Man" reference gets zero points for not having a song based on "Ya Got Trouble" like "The Monorail Song" "The Flim Flam Brothers Song" and "SCP Confinement Special - Anomalies"
Saw this video and immediately thought it was another customer Ben sketch in the Bored series from VLDL, lmao
It's a flim flam deal with those consoles. Especially at Gamestop.
Damn what a steal
I went in a Gamestop the other day only to have one of those people in front of me. I kid you not, the guy was wearing a trenchcoat like he was just getting out of Deus Ex and tried to push this broken console (it was tested, controller had broken sticks 90% like those there). ''Oh but I can't go home if you don't take it because my taxi's waiting for me... I need this money...'' The guy had every damn cliche in the video and then some. I swear some people are just... special like that.
I also notice that he sold a PS3 controller with a PS2... now that's future-proofing!
as someone who works in second hand retail for a tech company, this is weirdly accurate other than the fact the tone is always more aggressive, and they are never happy with the price and ends with me as an SA not even getting 5 minutes to shake off a death threat. 💀
And then they resell it as "vintage" for $200.
2:05 Implying that GameStop actually repairs used consoles they buy. Which they don't.
Friend, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are unaware of the caliber of disaster indicated by a lack of retro gaming hardware in your store!

Well, you got trouble my friend
Why are you dressed like Scott the Woz?
The real gag is the line "I don't get paid enough for this."
As an employee for a game store. I can confirm with 100% certainty, that's how people act.
We need more Lawrence Lollipop.
Davis is definitely building his own Council of Reeds filled with all of these evil geniuses, business-savvy characters. Great video as always!

Now to go pay my rent on Vermont Avenue. WHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Malarkey & Flim Flam……I can’t 😂😂😂😂
Lawrence must do this a lot I had no idea
Don’t forget the part where it is now being sold for 100 bucks vintage gaming console
its funny the sales men never look to see he was given monopoly money
Love your videos since 2016
Great one😂
I smell a new series
So I struggled first. This is the perspective of one who has worked in this business. Its because I have never been an employee any of these sorts of companies I got confused. Then I thought of that one friend who goes "But nah brah i got some paper clips and a stapler because I gave them the PS2 I stomped on after you whooped me in Tekken."
I love your videos they always make me laugh
The clerk probably changed his mind and gave him $6 cash instead of $5 store credit since the credit would imply that he would have to deal with this guy again! LOL 😂
The fact that it was monopoly money is even more funny 🤣
Dude ya nailed the facial expressions...
lol he should look again. Its was Monopoly money!!! 😂
Rule of thumb: If a strange man who looks like he comes from a barbershop quartet comes up to you and tries to sell you something, call the cops.
When did Davis get Scott's barber shop quartet outfit from Borderline Forever?
Me, a fan of SGS from the beginning, just now discovering this channel: "This guy sounds really familiar for some reason. Huh...I think he sounds like... Like Davis?" 😂 My mind has been blown.
You guys got some sun.
Liked how he gave the con Artist, literally Monopoly Money! Lol And he still thinks he won! Lol
I could have sworn that "salesman's" name was gonna be scoots
Great job on this video Davis we're did you shoot this video? I'm just curious plus you look like bert from mary Poppins

The lack of a musical number is criminal.
I immediately got flashbacks to when I tried to do that, he is so me lol 😅😂
wonder if there any bloopers by any chance?
Bro used Monopoly money 😂
as a gamestop employee, this is pretty much how my spring has been going so far (seriously yall, clean your damn consoles)
U know… I feel the same way but I am working at CVS sometimes u don’t get enough pay… when customers act foolish…
As someone that works in a second hand shop where we buy and sell consoles and such I hate how right this is aha
then next week it will be on sale as is for $25
I saw this video before it released✨
I. FREAKING. MISS MY PS2.
Too funny!
Very WZ Nice 🎮🕹️
Wait til they get a load of the ps4 I'm selling tomorrow. They amount of "modifications" is impeccable. 🧐
Could've just sold it on Ebay, would've made a little more money.
Now wait how long it takes this Guy to realize he was paid in Monopoly-Money!
Ironically I'd rather have it rebuilt rather than sell one is still one of the best longest running game systems the PS2
Ye Olde Dicke Richards Esquire, also known in some parts as Tricky Dick seems to have gotten himself ye olde time machine.
I mean, if he comes in with new material every time, might be worth the six dollars.
Sometimes they don't even ch..
Also, there is an error in casting. Scarlet Sheppard isn't playing the role of Game Store Owner in this skit, it's Michael Schroeder.
... yeah this is not exactly a word for word But is a good rep of the mentality.
But Springfield is still gonna get that Monorail right?

Love the PS3 controller with the PS2 and the monopoly money for store credit lol
Just got back from a game store after selling some games and consoles, not knowing if I got ripped off
as a game store worker, i hope some of you realize that these companies wanna make this thing called profit
….i truly hope we see more of this character
A year or 2 ago I sold my old PS3 and the bastards paid me "gracia" because the controller knob was turning slightly to the right. All I had to do was correct it and there was peace for an hour or I could just hold the knob like most players and have no control, but there was no excuse to give with 10% of what they ask for from the person who buys it from them. I had to sell it online, but it was the first time I did something like this and I was in a hurry.
I think he tricked ya mate, monopoly money is not legal currency!😂
I wanna see a sketch of how Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was made.
Should have bought that for like $500 It has all those great features😂
As much as I like your content guys it has to be said... "been watching VLDL much??"
He does know he has to use that "store credit" right?

@@TheWarpZone No, he's not selling BACK anything. He's just selling. Selling it back says he bought it from them, at least recently, and is trying to then sell it back. He's JUST selling it. It's a good, funny vid, well done, but the title made me think I was gonna get... well, also a scam, but a different one.
this is one of those, should have had a job like that to really understand it.

How much did he pay for the consal originally

I feel like $6 is worth less now than 6 CENTS was from the era that Davis is dressing from.

Laurence Has no idea that the game is to the buyer, as he managed to hand him Monopoly money rather than actual currency.

Soo, when is he going to realise he got 6 dollars in Monopoly money? Well, what comes i round goes around. or is that the wrong one for this moment?
I'm thinking if selling my old GBA whose cords have gone missing so its practically useless. How much can I scam GameStop for that piece of trash?
