How to BARGAIN & HAGGLE SUCCESSFULLY – Advice from Game COLLECTORS

Video Leave a comment

Metal Jesus & Kelsey share their TIPS & TRICKS for haggling at retro game stores, expos, garage sales & craigslist. Their years of game collecting AND store ownership offer a unique perspective on getting the best deal AND being respectful to the other party.

TIPS:
Garage sales are typically the easiest
Be nice & respectful
Know what is popular & what isn’t
Retail store prices have business expenses added
Slow selling games are sometimes easier to haggle with
Buy in bulk if possible
Politely point out cosmetic flaws
Engage seller in conversation
Flaws may already be factored into the price
Trading games sometimes is more valuable than cash!

Does Metal Jesus make KELSEY STAND ON A BOX!?!?!

Video Leave a comment

I just want to say one thing: The path down which Metal Jesus Rocks wants to lead us is empty and bleak. For practical reasons, I have to confine my discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which I have something new to say. What I’m saying is this: Metal Jesus Rocks likes to argue that he can change his self-centered ways. Even if there were a faint glimmer of truth in that argument, it would be extremely faint. The truth is that whenever I highlight the threat of snippy Maoism in a letter such as this, Metal Jesus Rocks issues a standard response. First, he denies the threat itself. Then, he condemns those who describe him as a disrespectful fraudster. This is basically Metal Jesus Rocks’s way of encouraging humorless wallies to see themselves as victims and, therefore, live by alibis rather than by honest effort. Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: Metal Jesus Rocks and his associates are wolves in sheep’s clothing who will strip the world of conversation, friendship, and love in the coming days.

Games We Want Updated & HD-ified w/Kelsey

Video Leave a comment

Some games are so good they refuse to die and instead deserve another chance at life. Often it’s just that they need updated graphics to be more modern…and other times they may need an entire overhaul from the ground up! In this video Metal Jesus & Kelsey list off some of the games they would like to see HD-ified for a new generation!

Complete Original XBOX Collection – 884 Games – What the heck!?

Video Leave a comment

An entire original XBOX collection was sold to Pink Gorilla Games in Seattle and Kelsey walks us through some of the more rare and expensive games as well as just some of the BEST games for the console! While filming this video, there was a very active karaoke bar in the same building, which is what you hear in the background. Normally I would just reshoot some of that, but I thought it was kind of funny…so we rolled with it!

BTW: The owner of the XBOX collection did not give us permission to disclose how much he was paid for the entire collection. Sorry!

PS3 Buying Guide & Favorite Games

Video Leave a comment

Looking to buy a Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)? This is the Buying Guide for you! We cover the three different PS3 models, accessories and we list some of our favorite games to get you started! Oh yeah…and we even talk about the PS3 Move controller… 😉

BEHIND THE SCENES: For this video it was important to cover all three models of PS3 and thankfully Kelsey and PinkGorillaGames had two of them that they let us borrow. Those backwards compatible ones easily go for $140+ now. Plus we had a ton of fun just picking out the games we would recommend! Although…when Kelsey showed up with some HD Remasters… I don’t think she fully understood just how many of them I had! So we had some fun with that…

Also…Kelsey was stoked to have purchased a Playstation shirt just the week before and we made sure to get that in the thumbnail. Enjoy!

Metal Jesus: Metal Jesus here, and I am back again with Kelsey.

Kelsey: Hello. Today, we are gonna be talking about Pokémon spin-off games. This includes games that came out here in America, games that never made it outside of Japan or Europe, and also some bootlegs.

Metal Jesus: And this is perfect for me because I don’t know anything about Pokémon. So let’s take a look. So I don’t know anything about this. Where should we begin?

Kelsey: I guess we should like start with some game that you guys might be familiar with because they did come out here in the States. Some of you guys have probably even played these. We’ll start with a really obvious one that I think a lot of you guys know.

Metal Jesus: I do have this one.

Kelsey: You do?

Metal Jesus: I do.
