Video summary
The video documents a visit to Classic Games Fest with the specific mission of acquiring collectible items related to World of Warcraft in preparation for "Classic Plus." The narrator and his companion navigate various vendor booths hoping to find exclusive memorabilia, starting their journey by purchasing an Illidan figurine and a Lich King box. Despite initial optimism about finding many WoW-related goods at what they expected to be a dedicated classic gaming convention, they quickly realize that such items are extremely rare in this setting. Their search involves spotting unique pieces like hand-painted statues of specific characters, including Thrall with dual-wielded weapons and Val'kyr blood elf rogues, as well as discovering the legendary five-year Blizzard employee sword, which is an exclusive reward for long-serving staff members who have since left their jobs to sell them.
A significant portion of the video focuses on the narrator's negotiation tactics at a booth selling multiple WoW collectibles simultaneously. He attempts to bundle purchases—including the expensive five-year anniversary sword listed around $1,650, a Gath Hellscream statue, and a Val'kyr figure—to secure a better price than buying them individually. The vendors initially hold firm on high prices but eventually agree to a deal where he acquires all three major items for approximately $1,700, significantly undercutting the total retail value. During this process, they also negotiate down the price of a Cataclysm Collector's Edition box and a human paladin figure with missing components by pointing out flaws like cracked boxes or fallen shields, ultimately securing these items at steep discounts through persistent haggling.
Beyond the WoW-specific finds, the duo expands their haul to include other gaming memorabilia such as signed Super Mario stone art featuring laser-engraved details from the voice actor himself, various plushies including a Mushroom Snorlax and Mega Man keychains, and t-shirts from different years of Game Over events. The narrator reflects on his childhood memories of buying consoles at garage sales versus modern live-service games that require online installs, while also sharing opinions on game expansions like Cataclysm, which he considers the turning point where the game changed forever despite owning its collector's edition. Ultimately, they celebrate a successful day by claiming almost every WoW-related item available at the convention and returning home with an impressive collection of statues, figures, clothing, and signed merchandise that far exceeded their original expectations for the event.

>> human paladin. But see, he's wearing
warrior gear. This is from BFA, isn't
it? Like it's got judgment helmet.
Judgement. Wait, actually, no. The gear
they gave him is a classic gear. It's
the tier 2 helmet and the tier six
shoulders, but it's BFA for the warrior.
That's funny. Yeah. Okay. I think this
is the guy. Has this been opened?
>> Doesn't look like it
>> cuz look at this. It's missing
something.
>> Oh my god. It's missing the
>> Is it missing a shield? Oh, it's the
shield.
>> Oh, yeah. It's missing the shield.
[music] Maybe you can get it for
cheaper.

incoming. Let's see what I can do here.
How much is this?
>> 70.
>> 70. Okay. What do you guys think for 70?
I do play a paladin. Yeah. So, I'm like
pretty cool. The gear is so mismatched.
Look at that. It's like tier 2 and then
warrior gear on the chest. So, here's
the thing. I Something missing from the
box. Has this been opened? Cuz it looks
like the shield is missing.
>> I think it's the shield based on the
bag.
>> It's at the very bottom like in the
thingy.
>> Like if you look straight down, it's
loose in there.
>> Oh,
>> so it fell out.
>> In the box.
>> Okay. Would you guys want to do it any
cheaper than [music] 70?
>> We can do it for 50.
>> We'll do it for 50. Okay. Okay. I'll do
50.
>> Are you okay with us? Okay, cool. Thank
you.
>> Thank you so much.
>> I'm a girl. You know how much [music] we
shop?
>> True, actually. Thank you. I appreciate
it.
>> They have this one.
>> Oh, I see. I'm blind.
>> But I hated this expansion.
>> Wait, why?
>> This was like the hard turning point.
This is when the game changed forever.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. It was a cataclysmic destruction
of the game.
>> Damn. So, like getting it would be
pretty silly.
>> I could buy it and destroy it. SP fan.
That's horrible. That's $100.
>> But I could return it from once it came
like like casting the ring into the into
the motor.
>> Oh god. Wait, so do you hold a grudge
towards this?
>> Absolutely I do. I should take this to
Blizzcon and destroy it.
>> I should just take this and be like from
whence you came and like
>> Wait, does your chat agree with you that
it was the worst one? Yeah.
>> Really?
>> Damn.
>> There's things about the expansion that
are good,
>> but like that was like the turning point
in the game. Like the hard turning point
in the game.
You're really going to buy it just to
destroy it? $100? God,
>> destroying a sealed version of the
collector's edition for Cataclysm.
[laughter]
So funny. But also, look, I have
collector's editions for worse
expansions.
>> Oh,
>> for much worse.
>> And you've kept them. And you haven't
destroyed them.
>> And I haven't destroyed those yet. Maybe
I should get this.
>> Yeah, I think you should get that.
>> Yeah, but look, it's got a crack in it.
>> Yeah, it's got a crack.
>> Oh my goodness.
>> You're going to destroy it anyways.
>> It's It's basically worthless. Yeah. I
was wondering with this like cuz the
seal is kind of scuffed.
>> We have a tree in our store.
>> Would you guys be willing to do this
[music] for any cheaper than 100?
>> I don't think we're doing
>> You're not They're all saying don't get
it.
>> Bad expansion. Don't get it. 45 on eBay.
>> There's no way you guys would do for 80.
>> Katoo sucked ass.
>> Hey, it's the first one I really got.
That's why you don't know.
>> That's so funny.
>> You don't Let me evangelize you on
Burning Crusade.
>> Tell them you were What did that say?
They told me you were Grand Marshall.
>> You're a grand marshal.
>> 60.
>> Okay, I'll do that. I'll do 60. Cool.
Deal.
>> Easy, man. Chat, between you and me, I
need to go out with SPM War. You be
getting the deals.
>> I got the strats.
>> I would have just bought it. I would
have just paid the $100. And that's why
I get scammed.
>> Chad, the Persians are great
negotiators. All right, great. Thanks so
much. Have a nice day. All right, we'll
see you. Appreciate it. Thank you.
>> Yeah, see you.
>> See, that's how good of negotiation. I
asked for 80 and they said, "Okay, 60."
>> Yeah. Like, what? Me? I would have just
paid the 100 bucks.
man. I need to learn a thing or
two from you.
>> Let's go push our luck with the one
place. I'll say 1,500 for all three.
>> All right, let's try it.
>> Just see what happens. I want to ask,
would you guys be willing to do a deal
for all three?
>> For all three?
>> If I got all of them for 1,500?
>> For for all of the Wow stuff? for 1500.
>> I don't think we could do that.
>> I think so.
>> No.
>> For all of the W for all the while like
the sword and all of that's that's
really tough for us. Yeah.
>> So, if you were to get all three, you
could do 1,500 for the sword and then uh
take 20 bucks off each of the others and
it gets you about $13
discount.
>> What about all of them for 17?
All of them for 17. I love your shirt.
>> Nice.
>> I got a lot of comments on it today. I
>> think 1,700 is like the absolute max.
Like listen, I know them.
>> I know. But here's the thing. This So I
saw this for 1,100 one time like years
ago and I didn't buy it.
>> How often do they come up though? Like
>> that's the thing. It's like you don't
know.
>> You could find one for a,000 in a week.
>> You know
>> what's chat thing?
>> They're saying you shouldn't go more
than 1,700.
>> Yeah. So you have to work at Blizzard
for 5 years before you get one.
>> Yeah. So, if that would be the deal for
you, if you need all four to hit that 2K
mark,
>> I'll do one, two, three, and drop this
for 1,700 cuz you're selling this for
300 anyway.
>> So,
>> so he wants to drop on this. Get this,
this, and this for 1,700.
>> Because if you're doing 2K for four and
then this is 300, then drop this cuz I'm
not really interested in this. I just
wanted the Warcraft things.
>> Just letting you know, I I won't be able
to carry this.
>> Well,
>> that one's all you. Too bad
>> cuz I had these bags to get
>> deal.
>> Okay, deal. We'll do it.
>> Y
>> sick. I'm down.
>> So, I knew you were going to get it.
>> All right.
>> You have to carry the sword.
>> Yeah. Look at this thing.
>> Wow. Oh my goodness.
>> This is Here. Can you hold this?
>> Yes, I can.
>> Look at that.
>> Wait, let me
>> Dude, the This is the 5year Blizzard
employee sword. That's crazy. Cuz I've
been working for Blizzard for longer
than that. [laughter]
>> Yeah,
>> but I don't understand. So people are
giving their things that is exclusive to
them away and that's how people are
getting this stuff.
>> Yeah. They don't work there anymore and
they they're just trying to like make
extra money.
>> Oh, I guess that makes sense. Yeah.
>> So we got the sword for 1,700, the blood
elf statue and the gash statue.
>> Yeah.
>> For 1,700. Yeah. Good deal. Good deal. I
think that's fair.
>> Yeah, you can match it on the wall.
>> It's got two little drill holes.
>> Nothing too crazy.
>> Oh, so I'll just go straight
>> on this side.
>> Okay, nice chat. You see the Persians
are great negotiators. I basically got
all three just for the cost of
>> stuff.
>> I think I could learn something from
you. Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you so much. All right,
dude. We actually did like super good
today. We got a ton of stuff. We got
>> Look, the goal today [music] was what?
To try and get all the WoW stuff that we
possibly can. Let's go over all the WoW
stuff that we got. [music] We got this

>> Yeah. And then we found this human
paladin. This is $70 actually. So, this
was $25. Did you see that? This was $25
and he knocked it down to 15 for me.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then this was $70
and they knocked it down to 50 for us
because the shield that's supposed to be
here has fallen off. So anybody that
would want to buy this would have to
open it up. So we got this down to $50.
Next [music] we got a copy of WoW
Cataclysm collector's edition. So this
is the WoW Cataclysm collector's edition
that we got. So pretty cool. Very
exciting.
>> You got a discount on that, too?
>> Yeah. So this was $100. They gave it to
us for 60. I asked for 80 and they gave
it to us for 60. So I was like, "Will
you do it for 80?" And they said, "We'll
do it for 60." Okay, that works.
>> Chad, you got to remember the Persians
are great negotiators. Okay. Always
remember that.
>> And then

This is the 5year sword. If you work for
Blizzard for 5 years, you get the sword.
It's

>> Yeah. So somebody got fired and then
they sold it.
