Whatever gets video hits. It's becoming all too familiar. I never watched em myself. I don't watch any of those (VGC, AVGN, Pat). I really don't need reviews on 25 year old games. I drew my own conclusions 25 years ago.

I love the Game Chasers. I rather watch them then American Pickers. But it doesn't surprise me they resell games because I ask them that on there live web cam show. What they told me in fact that they do resell games if they have doubles. Which they also add that doesn't make us as resellers.


Also Jay call me a dick for saying God Of War Needs To Die.

There could be two sides to this, both in which are debatable. Without taking one side, I'm putting this into consideration:

Who's to say that they don't have good jobs and buy out stores for stuff in their own personal collection? Just because someone buys someone out don't mean they're resellers, nor does it mean they used reseller funds to do it. I personally bought someone out... took me weeks, and I'm poor as hell. Some people beat me to the punch, and I may have beat them to the punch on something. That's just how it is.

Educating a vendor or a seller on what something's worth can and possibly will hurt potential buyers from buying a gem real cheap, but if they are truly resellers, it would hurt them too-- they won't have they money to buy another F2 or LS and resell it for top $$$. It'll be a stupid thing to do.

Again, not picking sides or debate or question, I'm just sayin'.

^ I'm thinking this, but again, can't take sides. I reserve judgement until these speculative accusations are brought to light. I will agree that buying doubles doesn't quite make you a re-seller, not in a sense by the terms that are given/accused to these guys anyways.

THe difference is they cleaned stores out of same titles. Its a retail store clearing out, not a person. Buying multiple duplicates at one store at one time. Also they told a merchant at my flea market today. They said they werent collectors and were resellers. Now these people could have lied to me, but why would they? If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Its a duck.


also to answer the "lucrative job, may have money" scenario. They talk about how poor they are in every episode.  Im just calling it like I see it, If anyone is donating them stuff i wouldnt recommend it. Because Ive seen on there videos people sending them stuff."

Believe me guys when I make my rounds I will get more information.

If you can, just get more evidence than "he said, she said". Make it like one of those episodes of Cheaters if you got to. lol

I mean, even if they buy multiple copies of something, they could be just buying label variants, mintier copies, copies for friends/family (gifts), copies for reproduction parts... not saying that's what they maybe doing, but tring to look at both sides here. And who's to say if the "resellers" are the same people? If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it might be an albino loon.

And yes, they might very well still have a lot of money from a good job-- it's just that they only have a budget of video games-- hence why they say they're poor.  I have a lot of money, but I'm poor. I buy games, but I starve.

Still, I'm just looking at the other side of things. If you can, try and get more evidence.

Its a little better than just he said she said. The manager of the store was there when they bought it. Told me they bought multiple final fantasys in the glass case.  VII on ps1 or FF III for snes. they are priced where you could make some on them around christmas time(when they went there), but not huge margins. Thats not variant hunting. I see your sceptical side, but its not like i asked the manager if she knew them. She told me without me asking. The GAME CHASERS were here right before christmas and spent over 900 dollars. Thats not he said/she said. Thats first person account telling me what happened. Why would she make that up? I asked her specifically about what they bought. She told me duplicates of the popular games in the glass case, and pretty much anything worth even a little more than the price. I asked her was what they were buying to resell? Her answer. ABSOLUTELY

im sorry to burst someones wet dream of them if someone reading this loves them, but if they were buying stuff around you, you might feel differently about how they carry themselves.

Dude, seriously, grow up and get over it. Nobody cares about the stupid titles.


ETA: Game Chasers also "plants" their rare finds. They're hacks. And the taller skinny guy is a whiney little bitch and someone needs to punch him in the face.

for once we agree? The F2 was def real with the store sticker and all. Little samson probably real, but Ive always found their jokes really lame teenager entertainment (fart jokes etc). Its not really picking to me, because you are going to a store that sells retro games. Congrats you found a nes cart where you know they are going to be!!

Pat's videos of flea market stuff are a lot better and more entertaining and realistic. FLEA MARKET MADNESS!!!!

That's because he just heads down to the Kobey's at the San Diego Sports Arena and perhaps other spots down that way too. Lots of stuff shows up, but it's just not worth the drive at $4.30~/gal gas for me to ever bother on a gamble. Every week you can find greed, not every week or month can you find some of the crazy stuff he gets in those clips he makes.

they should just come out and make a show where they buy games on the lowest low and sell on the highest high...and then travel back to 1998 and buy AAPL for $10. hehe

If I'm sounding naive, it's just because I was just looking for the benefit of the doubt.

Quest4nes is suspecious of their behavior, so he's right on calling them out... if they want to clear their name, they can.... but in Texas, "Everybody's guilty until proven innocent".

The user titles are from the # of posts you make: http://www.nintendoage.com/pub/fa...
The more you make, the more your title will change. You can't keep old titles.

As wild as Texas is, with them acting the way they do I think they should be careful. I believe in Texas it's the one state where you can get a gun rack for your gun rack.

This was very dumb, cheezy, and crap. It's pretty badly put together over all and people do this all day every weekend, I do. What a joke, stupid series, why would you want to watch somebody go out and find games? Do it yourself. I don't understand why people are even watching this.

A good alternative is the Retro Hunters http://theretrohunters.com/...

Hell, maybe they're resellers too, but at least it looks like they have fun.
