Love the $10 games challenge. About 5 years ago I started watching SeeJayAre's channel and I started hitting yard sales. Since then I haven't taken a dime out of the family account for anything game related and my collection has exploded. Its so satisfying to find a deal, build your collection and also have a way to bring in some extra money.

I really appreciate this video. I've been struggling to get motivated to get things listed recently due to all the external craziness including school. Watching Rick's videos always helps me get pumped about getting out and thrifting, but I end up not having much money to work with due mostly to laziness. I'm gonna get a ton of stuff posted this week! Gotta get the collection fund up! Thanks Retro! Qotd: Hard to pick a fav Mario character...but twist my arm and it would probably be Goombella from Thousand-Year Door. I always felt like she was one of the most unique characters in the Mario universe and her dialog always made me laugh back in the day!

Rick, firstly I want to say I love the Channel and hope to visit the store soon. Secondly I just wanted to mention that the way “Magic Eraser” works is by using tiny sharp edges. It essentially works the same as very fine sandpaper. The console looked wonderful, but thought you should know.

A recommendation is not to spray the product directly on the electronics being cleaned, but rather on to a secondary cloth or tooth brush and then wipe away. This way it doesn't get into or stain the electronics boards and ports. I recommend cleaning controller/audio/video ports with a clean brush and IPA.

I use Simple Green solution and a toothbrush - it gets all the human oils and grime off and it doesn't have a powerful smell. also I would advise AGAINST using magic erasers especially on stuff with textured surfaces as magic erasers are super fine grit sandpaper. Then I take a toothpick to get all the dead skin cells out of the controllers. One of the best things I learned from working at a game store.

My fav character is Mario. I first experience was Mario 1 so I'm sure that influenced it a bit, but they also always make him a well rounded character and easy to play new games with when you don't know how to play lol. Donkey Kong is also fun for things like Mario Kart. Oh and I usually save the cases in case I pick up a loose game or get a lot with some broken cases so I can just change them (and the paperwork and cover) and make the ones I'm keeping look good as new even if they were beat up.

I like that all the money you make goes back into buying new games, it makes sure the money goes back into the hobby. Flipping games just for profit is kind of scummy in my opinion (unless you're struggling for money and sell off you're unwanted games). Maybe try and go into some of the history of some of the games or point out any games you were surprised you found and were good as well? Happy hunting!
