In this topic- you share some of the worst deals you see online/out in the field

Easy. Go on eBay and peruse the Buy It Now listings on any given game and most will be stupid high. Likewise, I find prices at retro game stores to be also bullshit overprices.
Actually while I'm thinking about it, the whole hobby of collecting has mostly become shitty no matter where you happen to be looking. It is over saturated with resellers and collectors which makes prices and the ability to come by good deals very hard, unlike how it was back in 2012 and before. I am still a firm believer that it will all crash or die down someday and we will see prices on most games normalize back to how they uses to be, save various rare titles on each console.

I find myself disappointed that this topic is not about collecting shitty games.

My thoughts exactly. I love shitty games ;D.

Well I kinda meant for this to be a more light-hearted topic but I guess we can have that discussion too.
I guess I just see re-selling and price inflation in a different light. X number of people want Y things and there are only so many of Y. It's hard for me to get that frustrated over supply/demand. It makes hunting games more difficult but for me, sifting through all the terrible deals makes finding those sweet deals so much better. And then I can laugh at all the terrible deals that likely won't ever sell. I find it hilarious when a guy in my area on Craigslist will repost the same console lot way over market value every week for 12+ months without ever adjusting the price.
I find stuff posted for great deals all the time in my area but I realize that is likely not typical for many people here who live in larger, more competitive markets. It's definitely a bummer that there are some games that I will never be able to get because of the price but there are so many great games that I have been able to find over the years that I don't feel too bad.

I like collecting shitty games too! That should be a whole separate topic... hold on...

I get the whole supply and demand thing, but it was nice when you found excellent, top tier games (not shitty games or bargain bin titles) for next to nothing and they were plentiful. I began collecting in 2008 and it was a goldmine just about anywhere you went given how few people were collecting back then, which also gave less incentive for resellers to enter the hobby. It was amazing until around 2012 and the market just exploded in popularity. I don't know when you got into collecting, but if it was post 2012/2013 I can understand why finding a gem here and there would excite you since that is about the best you can expect these days. Imagine, walking into any given thrift store or to any flea market and finding excellent title after excellent title almost every time, often for little more than a few bucks each. That was the environment that I came of age in as a collector and nothing has really compared since.

I started collecting games as a teenager, so back in the mid 2000s and I really ramped it up once I got my license in 07, so I guess around the same time you started as well. I did find a lot of great stuff pre-2012 but I remember hustling just as much as I do now, if not more, since I had less disposable income and more free-time to find the best deals. But it's very likely that we focused on collecting different stuff in that era. I'm primarily a Playstation collector.
I'm not denying that the hobby has gotten more difficult to collect for, I just find the hunt to be part of the fun and appeal.
-
The two topics you created have too similar of titles. Please change them.

Okay. I meant that to be humorous but I can change them.
The point of this thread was to expand off the reddit thread r/shittygamecollecting. I thought it would be fun to see what members in our community encounter when hunting for games.
Less price gouging of rarities from re-sellers and more posts/sales listed by clueless causal sellers who know that the hobby is popular but don't understand the market at all. Or selling clearly trashed games or bundling incorrect peripherals and trying to sell for extravagant amounts of money.
Some examples:

I should have explained more in the initial post. If I am the only one who finds this funny, the topic can be closed.

Fair enough. The hunt was fun for me until it ended up becoming going to 10 thrift stores and finding like two games that I may have saved $20 on total after looking for a couple of hours. It just stopped being worth my time to grind like I used to which really destroyed my desire to hunt like I used to. I was a regular at nearly every thrift store and pawn shop for several years because I was finding great stuff at them for real cheap almost weekly. I also used to hit up our local flea market every weekend and only on a handful of occassions did I not leave with at least a full backpack of games and consoles. If it sounds like I am ultra sentimental about that period of time it's because I was. I guess the only plus side to having so many cheap games at my disposal for so long is it allowed me to really beef up my retro game collection, which have now become the hardest consoles to collect for given price and scarcity.
I am also a huge Playstation collector, especially PS1 and PS2. I amassed most of my respective collections on these consoles during this time, although there are a lot of heavy hitters which I ended up picking up years after my collecting hayday or jhave yet to find.

It only going to get worse.
In the 90s, I used to get "retro" games for under $5 a piece, regardless of what it was, because no one cared about "crappy old games".
In the 2000s, people started to care, but the scalpers and resellers still weren't keen on it. So while it wasn't an under $5 market, it was still manageable with most retro games being under $20.
Nowadays, even shitty games are $30 bucks are more if it's anything other than Sega Genesis or Atari 2600. It's getting to the point where it's not even fun anymore. I've pretty much moved on to seeking out comics, DVDs, and VHS on my local hunts anymore. eBay is the only reliable way anymore, and even then it's not cheap.
Thankfully, I got most of my first party titles (especially Nintendo titles) before this got completely out of control.
-
30 $ seems a bit much for **** games
There are plenty of trash tier games for way less than 5$ pretty easily since otherwise they will never be sold.
That aside this topic is getting pretty dramatic it isn't all that bad far from it.
I still enjoy the hunt quite allot you won't hear me complaining, in thrift stores I won't deny it is pretty bad and definetly not worth your time unless you collect trash tier games. but than again some people just work there to snag all the stuff with value for the low prices so yea it is kinda expected. Flea markets same thing.

There's a booth in the Volo Antique Mall in Illinois that is run by a former store owner. I'm sure it's just a mistake, but he had a copy of Spy Hunter on the Colecovision/Adam for $219.99 when I was there last weekend. He wasn't around to point out the mistake. Still though, I got a laugh out of it.
Went in cause I knew he had a couple copies of Fighting Street on Turbo CD. Last time they were $24.99, now he wants $49.99, about twice what it's worth. Most of his prices were two to three times what they were worth so I figured there might be a few items mistakenly marked below value since he clearly did not know what anything was worth. I ended up finding a CIB copy of Double Dragon on Atari 7800 for $42, and a sealed copy of I-War on Atari Jaguar for $24 while I was there. Both are in fair condition and worth about twice what he marked them. Took some pics to I could see if he had any other games marked wrong so I can go back and get some more deals. :D
-

Absolutely it is. If you've been collecting for more than a few years, it is a very "dramatic" difference in prices and even being able to find stuff in the wild. Just since 2010 prices have doubled. (And it's far more than normal inflation.)
I could walk into any thrift shop and be able to find NES and SNES stuff on a regular basis. Now it's like a big deal when you do. I was able to peruse eBay and get all kinds of deals on retro games. Now it's all sniped up.
You are right about the crap games being under $5...but who wants crap games?

I must live in a good market because I'm able to find PS1, PS2, Xbox, PSP, GEN, GBC, DS and even a lot of nes games for between 5-10 bucks a pop at all the local areas I go to. And not just trash games either. There are definitely a lot more scalpers and resellers but I just know to avoid those people/stores.
Systems like Sega Saturn/Sega CD/TG16 and other niche retro systems have definitely felt the biggest squeeze and barring a miracle, I know I will never start collecting them because of the price barrier. That's unfortunate and we'll never have the glory days before the collection craze started but I still really enjoy the hobby.

You can't deny how many people collect trash games even on this forum. For allot of people it is a numbers games or to have that odd title that nobody want to play like Barby house adventure etc or maybe if your going for a full set. 1 game is still a game to many people.
There are allot more trash titles wich aren't sports games than you might think at least how i see it, also sports games are not always trash titles usually pretty good if you are into those and usually with high production costs ;)

What is this field of deals you're speaking of? But yeah, bad deals are so common no that they aren't note-worthy. Like others have stated, everywhere you go it's bad, bad, bad. It's not even really funny at this point. It used to be chuckle worthy when you'd see someone asking literally 1k on a single game, it was like a bad joke... now that's common, and these morons aren't joking. They really expect that grand.
It's common procedure on eBay to look at what games have been selling for, and then price your BIN at about 50-75% mark up from that price. If you're a game store, price it according to unsold BINs, if you're at a game convention, 25% mark up from unsold BINs. If you have something rare, ask more than what the last one sold for. If you have something sealed, have it graded and ask a few thousand. If you're a hillbilly named Jethro and you just found a Na'tinder in your buildin', ask $100 fer it, yellowed plastic and all.
-
I guess I just live in one of the only parts of the world where with a little bit of effort you can find some pretty good deals on sites like craigslist and offer up and drive around town and find some good stuff ranging from below market value to the occasional steal. Thrift stores have dried up for the most part but I think other avenues have opened up and it's still possible to find good stuff. But I live in a smaller market so I realize my experience is not the majority. It's not like I'm finding sealed copies of Earthbound for $5, but I still enjoy the hunt and find lots of great stuff for pretty cheap. Especially since I'm a student so it's not like I have unlimited funds right now.
I just see a lot of posts online where games are mangled up and when they ask for double market rate, I find that funny. Or when they list a playstation as a n64 and then price it way over. That's why I made this topic because I thought it would be fun to share our experiences. But I guess I've struck a nerve.
-
I actually live in a small town too. It used to be very fruitful, now it's bone dry, and the people here are every bit as wise to the fact that they can ask sky-high prices as anyone else. Around here, Craigslist it 90-95% ads for Xbox One, PS4, or Wii U. The other 5% might be an occasional old console with a few games for $80 - $150.
Just for the fun of it, lemme check Craigslist and report back.
SNES 2 - $75
Orange N64 - $125
GameCube - $65
(all the same guy)
Sega Genesis with 32x - $65
Nintendo Switch with 5 games - $500
NES with Duck Hunt - $65
PS4 - $150
PS4 with 5 games - $250
Xbox 360 with games - $50
Various Xbox One and PS4 game lots
That's all as of right now...

Hey! the most chews and confusion on the market is making a really local place actually play the games first before selling them AND reading these forums on the internet.
AND the honest forums, and not the stupid ones. heck this one guy is selling me $1.00 games AND he knows their good games because I told him and he already knows 8). Some of the most rarer and hard to find games COULD BE FRECKLING HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THEY SOMETIMES COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETE GARBAGE TO BEGIN WITH. >:(
#1: which is why they probably didn't sell vary well in the first place.
OR
#2: maybe they ARE good games but they didn't make enough or someone robbed the company or took all them and their house burned down :(
BUY WHAT you can afford. but try to get the common ones first if their still at a decent price that is.
the market is screwed up. I think the 007 Goldeneye for n64 should be re released because that game is a darn expensive yet COMMON and HARD to find video game in my local Area. BUT I played enough of that as a teenager so time to Move On OLDGAMERZ :P
-
LOL a Japanese video game that is not in english for $500.00 and I need to know Japanese to play it successfully and I knew that. because of this joke I just created today of VG collect.
JOKE: what is an RPG or JRPG if you can't figure out what is going on? in the story line, at least? :P
Spoiler:
I didn't buy that game ;D why? because I rather buy another hack and slash in English.
Sometimes it pays good money to know Japanese for the ones who can afford to.
I played RPGS that keep on changeing the decicions and some of them will get you a game over people ??? :-X
-
#2: maybe they ARE good games but they didn't make enough or someone robbed the company or took all them
Are you talking about "Rare Bucky"? That guy has like 20 copies of every game ever made, new and sealed, in unopened crate-fulls. I'd love to know how he got all of that. Seems really shady.

I only own 3 sealed copyed game and that is Banjo Tooie. but I took it out of it's paper box and left it inside a plastic bag hopeful to keep mildew of it
2nd is Mega Man x Collection for PS2 and Lego Marvel Heros for PS3 greatest hits. I just hevent's gotten to those games yet.

At a small town RadioShack in 2003 I found a standard Nintendo 64 console (new) they were selling for about 500 dollars. I used to visit this store every once in a while and this wasn't just some item that had been sitting around a few years. They had gone out and obtained this system fairly recently and then stuck a crazy price on it.
I just thought this was funny because even at launch these systems were only 200 dollars, and here we were already well into the next generation asking more than double the MSRP.

In 2003, N64 was probably about at it's rock bottom value, or close to it.

I've always wanted a WEI.
I have actually seen this type of "deal" around eBay, too. Always hilarious.
-
^ My favorite part is when someone has a "deal" like that, and you tell them what a Wii (or whatever it is) is actually going for, they reply with: "Well I paid $200 for it."
...that's not how that works.
-
Not in a millions years.
Or how about people that list a bundle of, say, ten games, and there's not a single good one in the lot because they're all either shovelware or commons, and they price it between $60-100?
Can't help but chuckle every time I stumble with one of those.

Lol. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/263091967188)
Originally had it listed just BIN for $80.

Most common reasons for such a listing:
1- idiot making incredible typos or letting an algorithm set prices.
2- greedy idiot using terrible information to set prices.
3- placeholder listing intended for a specific buyer (hence the 'make offer')
4- doesn't want to sell but is forced to make an attempt by a family member.
I'm inclined to say number 1. The other listings are both reasonable numbers and a random assortment of junk, implying this woman who feels the need to stick her face in all her listings is just buying random crap wholesale to burn off.
-
kokoplei is same company with the pretty rare in the hunt sub marine metal slug game so maybe they thought it was rare especially sealed ::)
in all seriousness though probably a place holder since they do not want to sell it atm. even holy grail items rarely get to the 50K amount nobody is that dumb.

Yeah, I'd figure it'd be one of those type of listings, but still found it funny enough to post given the game in question.

This one time I believe it was July, August, there’s a knock on the door.
I open it and there’s this cute little game dealer, she was so adorable with the little pigtails and all.
And she said to me “how would you like to buy some video games?”
And I said “well, what kind do you have?”
She had Contra, Mario Bros, Punchout
And I said “we’ll take a Punchout, how much will that be?”
And she looks at me and she says “I need about tree fiddy”
Well it was about that time that I noticed this game dealer was about 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the flea market - the Loch Ness monster.
I said “Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain’t giving you no tree fiddy!”
He said “How about just two fiddy?”
I said “Oh now it’s only two fiddy! What is there a sale on Loch Ness gameies or something?!”
Lord he was angry.
Not me, the monster - he was about to kick my ass

I had a good laugh when I stumbled with this listing; it's beyond ridiculous. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/123910239504)
That is actually a Target Exclusive copy, not a "first print" or an ultra rare printing of the game or any of that shit. All standard and non-standard copies of the game are "first prints". This is Pokémon we're talking about here, these games get printed out the wazoo to meet demand! It's not like with Front Mission and Infinite Space for example where they did have limited print runs receiving a second one near or somewhere near the end of the NDS life. I believe Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume also had a second print run.

This has to suck. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Wild-Guns-Super-Nintendo-1995-Natsume-Authentic-/143504021228?epid=1222&hash=item21698196ec%3Ag%3AtjsAAOSwBmdc3l-c&nma=true&si=9UXI9XNj2kE6m4C9ecBMohGDXfY%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)
Clearly a mistake by the seller. This was newly listed when I found it, and it sold in a blink of an eye while I was typing a message the seller. Not the first time I've seen this happen, though.

LMFAO! (https://www.ebay.com/itm/253907325733)Sorry for the necro-bump, but after stumbling with that listing I just had to. (Not the first time I've seen listings like that, though.)
Somebody might actually want that box, but to think it's worth a fortune is silly.
Please, tell me now that somebody might want this...

Wow. The seller is really missing out on a larger profit by not listing the item as an auction.

Is... this even legal?

Only $10K for Super Mario 3D World! Totally worth it! I'm so glad they pointed out it's not a Nintendo Selects version because no way I'd pay that much for a Nintendo Selects one! But a first print? Hell yeah!

Joke listings are a common occurrence - you can report them. If anybody bought that, though...

This one isn't exactly video game related, but it's still one heck of listing...
Anybody willing to spend a mil on this lot? (https://www.ebay.com/itm/264521844688)

Let me guess, Dr. Evil saying one million dollars, am I right?
Anyway, I came across this listing, which I think is rather sleazy. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/203138931640) He isn't charging for shipping, so I guess there's that...

Wow. Not only is it case only, but the cases are fake too? I can see someone not looking closely and wasting money on that.

Yes sir. It's predictable but you baited me

I would somewhat understand if the covers weren't fake, even if the the cases weren't original; the price would simply just need some adjustment. I've seen other sellers selling reproduction art for games akin to this for other consoles for WAY cheaper. This one's clearly an opportunistic sleazeball.

Yeah, I guess I did.
It's still a funny meme, so no harm.

I've been eyeing this listing for the past few days now, and it's been hilarious to say the least. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/293777873214)

Still currently at 260.00 but last few minutes is when the real action starts.

The whole listing had a shill vibe to it. But either way, whoever won that lot I hope is happy having wasted $200+ on a bunch of pretty common games.
Anyway, here's another for the season...
Anyone willing to skip their mortgage payment...for the next two or three months? I'm sure your bank will understand why. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/184495408218)

I find humor in these type of listings where the seller charges an exorbitant amount and then also has a shipping fee to go with the already inflated price.
-
Eh, I dont think someone could pay more than 300$ for a game and think it worth it.
Maybe just the most passional collectors

Well, it turned out the seller was shill bidding, as I had suspected. The stuff he sells apparently has the pleasant aroma of cigarettes.
Anyway, onward with more stuff...
You're the seller, but sure, let me do all the work for you since I "have to have a smooth transaction". Thank you. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/303787741087)

TOS violation, but eBay doesn't care. I don't care either, but it's still funny seeing these type of listings popping up every now and then considering anyone can easily do this themselves for a fraction of the price. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/203128225120)
(https://i.imgur.com/0waActz.jpg)
Rare "bundel" right here! Hurry and get it before the listing ends and the seller has to relist it again! (https://www.ebay.com/itm/193790168852)

I dont see whats so bad about $10 per game.

I've played a Gameboy Advance SP version, but the games always were too high for my tastes even back in 2007 when I got mine it was $250USD and all the games were used and above $20USD a piece, Now. that eBay seller obviously purchased that GBA in the photo for $80USD and is asking for the price of a used car, WTF?
to me it looks like it was resealed, and that asshole probably is just some rich scalper who makes a living off other peoples products, I have no respect for such a person, who probably just wants to go to Los Vegas and gamble or proustite the money anyway.
-
It still has the MSRP sticker ON the shrink wrap. It's not resealed. It a little over market for sealed product, but the GBAs will be there sooner rather than later. You can't "scalp" something that's almost 20 years old.
-
The real schmuck is the person willing to pay that much for a $60 console.

For one, the seller was shill bidding - the seller had set the listing to privite, which usually means something shady is going on.
And second, most of those games you can get for cheap either as singles or bundled...properly. The main point of buying games in a bundle/lot is for the sake of saving money. That particular lot didn't even have a rare or uncommon game that would justify that price.
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention the overpriced shipping costs, which, based on experience, either means the seller has zero clue on how to properly package games in order to make the most out of the boxes USPS provide OR does actually use USPS priority boxes and pockets the difference.
