Are all collectors this fucking kike as well?
If you're getting a good deal do you still haggle it down?

You see, pickup videos are a lot like Reality TV.

People love a good story. People love a landslide victory. People want to believe it can happen to them.

Storage Wars is the prime example. People want to believe you're going to find something incredibly rare and valuable. Storage Wars has been known to embelish the lockers the people buy iwth unique items to make the show more interesting.

The guy saying he paid 500 for a 4k deal is full of shit. He probably had it all his life, or borrowed it, or a slew of other options. He did not find it for that much.

I was thinking of doing a pickup video but it's not really great. I bought like 30 SNES games and resold a bunch to get the costs down on the remaining.

Because if he didn't the kike seller would realize he'd under priced it. Damn, you're naive.

>>3612030
Roughly a dime on the dollar isn't unheard of. For an experienced buyer it's very common. I'd say 90% of my collection was bought for 1/10 ebay prices or less.
It's hard for jelly babies to accept but that doesn't make it any less of a fact. Not saying this particular camwhore is telling the truth, just that it does happen

i dont mind if a collector tries to jew them down if it's a scummy reseller the only thing that fuggs me off if them gready greasy reseller scumturds trying to jew poor old grandmaws out of their ill gotten dead granndsons nintendo for 5 bucks, so if it's an old grandmaw who doesn't know what she has and she offers it to u for like 5 bucks then you can give her 5 bucks or just be a gentelmen and tell her it's worth 10 and give her 10 but if it's some greedy greasey monkey turd at the flee market with an old stinky van and high top shoes and a shit loaf of old carts that have been in direct sunlihght for like 10 years from being overpriced and no one bought them, tell that fuckin feggit to learn some keysan economics and lower his fucking prices and maybe he'll be able to sell his monkey shit. oh well who cares.

he's full of shit. also no point in getting AES shit. Just get a cheap fucking supergun and a cheap MVS board and make your own sticks. fucking easy. I just saved every one $4k.

Yeah. It's amazing how the real word doesn't work how you imagine it.
