Games Are Getting Too Expensive… Here’s What We Do

Game prices are getting crazy… but collecting doesn’t have to stop there. In this video, we break down some of the biggest ways we’ve been keeping this hobby affordable in 2026—from turning cheap third-party controllers into GameStop credit, to hunting down hidden value on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. We’ll also show how slightly damaged boxes and incomplete items can actually become some of the BEST deals once you know how to restore and complete them. From modern releases to retro grails, these are the methods we’ve been using to keep collecting without constantly paying full price. And honestly… most collectors are completely overlooking this stuff. 🎮 Retro pickups, deals, and surprises — just another day in the hunt! 💬 What’s one collecting method or “hidden trick” you think more gamers should know about? 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss our next haul!
