I did 30% less than Price Charting at the time, that was my bro price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lucky to even get pricecharting today on eBay. I had a rant where pricecharting is becoming the starting price and not the end price which is not what the service was for. Don’t think I didn’t see the Ferris Bueller VHS on top of the VCR either! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I didn’t see the Ferris Bueller VHS on top of the VCR either! i dont like to use the pricing sites. i just refer to ebay latest sold auctions and factor in condition and fees. *double checks pugsleys i think the game chasers pride on paying $5 Edited January 31, 2021 by docile tapeworm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videogame pricing is akin to the stock market where the price continually fluctuates over time, even within a single day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I wrote is my general strategy if you add in "sales and BINs of comparable quality." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always felt like a scam to get every NES game as cheap as possible under the guise of some sort of vlog and bragging about it I like them because they are entertaining to watch. It used to bug me how they were always trying to get games on the extra cheap but I realized over time that they really didn’t have a lot of money to spend on games. I’m fortunate enough to not have to nickel and dime my way through the NES set but not everyone else is. I came from nothing so I empathize. @Ferris Bueller I’ll take Zen off your hands if you are still selling it for $30! For some reason I don’t have the same empathy for the NES Quest guy mostly because at the end he pays an assload of money for stadium events I guess Edited January 31, 2021 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication | 1,490 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I like the show. I mean there is cringey stuff, but they choose to be who they want to be. I can't remember if I found Pat the Nes Punk first or Game Chasers, but I found NA from watching Pat the Nes Punk and before that I was on a island of solitude with my video game collecting. Personally, I think Nes Pursuit and that show with the blond kid they used to have on are the real pos's.

I’ll have to rewatch the end but I could of sworn he paid for it edit: he definitely buys it, after the second time he goes and it shoots back to him waking up it says after saving for “8 months and making the largest purchase of his life” Edited January 31, 2021 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
