As someone who buys, restores and resells games the numbers you are stating are over inflated and can be from fake bids. Like the stadium events that sold on eBay for $200,000. Turns out it was kids making the bids. I have have been in the possession of very rare, games, and even had values assessed and was still no were near these numbers. When information like this is taken out of context it makes people think their old broken stuff is worth a fortune and in reality it isn't and it becomes impossible for someone like myself to buy, fix and resell an item when the value is way lower than what they think. It also makes it way too expensive for a casual collector to buy anything.

I absolutely love seeing toys from my era (70’s-80’s). Unfortunately I was a little heathen back in my day and broke a lot of my toys which then got thrown away. As an adult I am finding a lot of them on eBay and having to pay a premium price. In the last couple years I have started to collect the WWF LJN wrestling figurines from the early-mid 80’s. It’s astonishing to see how much they were in the 80’s and now how much they go for on eBay. I have spent close to $10k on these wrestlers and have every intention to hand them down to my son one day when he can appreciate their value. Loved this video, very nostalgic and takes me back to the good ol’ days of being a kid!!!

Some of the markets for these items have, frankly, gone nuts. I can understand rare items going for inflated prices, but some of these toys and games are nearly as common as dirt, yet still often have high asking prices attached. If I can go to eBay any given day and find tons of examples of any TMNT, GI Joe, or M.U.S.C.L.E. figure I want, they aren't rare. Overwhelming demand (and in the case of video games, fishiness in the grading and auction world) has driven these high prices way beyond what they should be "naturally."

Most people don't realize the amount of appreciation from toys. I collect hot wheels and action figures, and many of these bought within just the last several years have tripped in value. Like the Storm Mortal Kombat og Ninjas, RLC R34's, Mafex Superman, Figma Metroid, Marvel legends Spiderman figures, and more.

I love your channel and like the information, but I have to say your NES info is WAY off Most NES open systems will sell for about 50-75 bucks. And a boxed system shouldn't sell for more than 150. Also, your average copy of SMB will barely sell for a dollar, and that high-priced boxed version was an artificially inflated sale that was meant to drive up used game prices. Sorry, not trying to be a "gotcha", but I love your channel and want your info to be accurate.

I got a NES in a box for $75 and it took me awhile to get that. There were a lot going for more. Those kind of tactics of inflating the price have always been around. It's in about everything too. Real Estate, cars, toys and even this years Hallowen decorations. Thank uou for watching!

Those nes prices are WAY off. A nintendo costs $50-75. Boxed unopened is about $200-300. Mario Brothers fetches about $5-10 and sealed boxed is about $40-50. I have no idea where you are getting those prices.

My grandparents lived in London when cabbage patch kids came out. They bought 2, one for my sister and one for me, and brought them on the plane with them back to the states. My grandpa always said how ridiculously scary it was to fly with those “damn dolls”... 😅 I still have mine 😊 People go mad over popular toys. I worked at toys r us through tickle me Elmo, furbys, Pokémon cards and the new Star Wars films. Witnessing adults accost children for a toy is wild.

I can relate to this as well as my brother. My mom is all about purging but I can’t blame her. If we had only had the foresight to keep the toys and even better, if we had bought 2 and kept one in the box! It’s crazy because even though I know this would have been a fantastic idea, I didn’t do it with my kids toys either. Imagine having all those Pokémon cards in sealed packs! And those don’t even take up room 🤦♂️.

A lot of the stuff you have to think like what Rick says on pawn stars… Is that what they’re getting or what they’re asking? For example, you see people online all the time asking for hundreds of dollars for the complete series of friends on DVD… But I can go to my local used video store or pawnshop, and buy every season for five dollars apiece. Some people think they have gold.

My parents spoiled the crap out of me. I was such an ungrateful child and didn't take care of my toys at all. Comic Books, Baseball Cards, Video Games, you name it. Some of the toys I had are going for $6000 on Ebay. 20X6000 sure would go a long way right now. I sure wish I could go back in time and slap the stupid off of me.

My mom found a couple Cabbage Patch kids back then. She made a few hundred dollars. There’s still at least two opened ones in my parents’s basement. I had an animal one, too. Teddy Ruxpin always creeped me out then and still does. The room that I had to share with one of my older brothers was half sports trophies and Shirt Tales and my half had Care Bears. I found a vintage Rainbow Brite unicorn at the thrift store a few years ago. I have my original stuffed Gizmos and stuffed girl Ewok. I still have a Barbie and the Rockers van. I never had a Rocker Barbie, though. I finally spotted one at Kmart back in ‘87 or ‘88, but I was probably 8 or 9, so I guess I felt I was a little too old and didn’t want to ask my dad to buy it for me. I actually hid it behind some other stuff, thinking I would come back later to buy it, but it was gone. When my oldest brother moved out, I started cleaning out his closet so I could get him out quicker and have his room for my extra stuff. When I opened it, all his Dungeons & Dragons stuff fell out at my feet.

I used to create elaborate terrains for my Ninja Turtles in the woods behind my house. Me and my friends built breakaway bridges with scrap wood over trenches lined with landscaping plastic and rocks to make it like a river. We made cool “hangouts” for our toys from cardboard boxes painted to look like city buildings or surrounded with bark and rocks to look like a cave. We cut up some corrugated drain pipe to look like sewers connecting our Turtle “world”. We must have spent an entire summer playing with just that and jumping on the trampoline. Needless to say our toys got wrecked! But it sure was fun!!

Some things I had back then that I would give anything to have back. 3 Cabbage patch kids( Josepha Ida, Regina Daisy, and Argus Abbott) Snoopy Snow Cone machine A telephone for my room that had a rainbow for the handle and a cloud for the base. It played a song when it rang. ( I think a Beethoven piece) Strawberry Shortcake set with all the people, their hair smelled so good! Care Bears, My little Pony, Rainbow Brite Speak n' Spell! Munchichi! California Raisins, Smurfs I had a Scooby-Doo light projector View finder, Debbie Gibson Electric Youth perfume, Baby Soft perfume Get in Shape girl set! Lisa Frank everything I had a pink castle tent thing that went around my bed! I look back at my toys now and realize my parents did want to make me happy. I may have not gotten all my emotional needs meet but I sure as heck had amazing toys:) My kids really missed out having to grow up in the electronic era:( we also had the best cartoons and TV shows!! Get along gang, punky Brewster, facts of life, growing pains, rags to riches, Mr. Belvedere, silver spoons, Heathcliff the cat, small wonder, and so much more like the after school specials etc:) I miss my jelly shoes, my leg warmers, all of it.
