- Unfortunately the business owner told him as soon as he walked in "no filming dude" so we dont have proof to see what really happened. But listening to him say retell the story its obvious something went down and Caleb tries to claim after resurfacing the 2 discs and pay $15 and still had profit left to be made on amazon..somethings not adding up.
funny how the guy was eyeing him the whole time watching him, makes you wonder
then even had the guy buff the games for him, then backed out at last minute.
I was hoping you had proof
@@keithkelso9872 i almost called the pawnshop to get the low down and or see if he had survailence footage of the store that day but EHH as you can see i havent made a video in a while, just wanted to get some scoops out there for people to realize what these guys are about
@@retroroughriders4579 whatta bullshit video about an opinion you know nothing about.
@keithkelso9872 sorry but he did this at convention he wanted his price guy decline and gave his price phoenix agree as he goes to pay on his card he then like nah don't want that price and pressure guy to take phoenix orig price he is pretty shitty
So what's the problem here? I'm generally confused
His story sounds plausible to me and it isn’t about the money, the person flat out called him a liar. It makes sense he would be unhappy about that.
“Okay sir, you can leave the store then and go find it for 5 dollars somewhere else.”
Caleb's 2nd oldest video he shows how he pulled a fast one on a lady seller. This is his M.O.
I actually believe him. It's totally possible the store put the game in the wrong area though obviously no footage means no proof. People really have a hate boner for this guy.
sorry but he did this at convention he wanted his price guy decline and gave his price phoenix agree as he goes to pay on his card he then like nah don't want that price and pressure guy to take phoenix orig price he is pretty shitty
I've had stores do this kind of stuff. Especially grimy pawn stores. I found good deals inside cases at pawn stores before and had the guy look it up and not under the prices. Just some food for thought
All this drama for 5 dollars? Caleb resell scams people for 100s daily and he is getting worked up over $5.
He's pissed because he spent a day their and got no video "content" for his scalper channel. Dude was wasting a day on buying 2 shit games to Flip for 10 to 20 dollar profit... but he would make 100x that from the views alone.
@@dddtrumphe doesn’t seem pissed.
How is it a scam if both people consent to the price? Are you a child?
@@jonnylake3rd Because manipulation (knowing something is worth way more, buying cheap, and reselling it) is involved, are you a criminal?
You must have never shopped at a pawn store before. The Pawn broker most likely checked the price while buffing and wanted to up it rather than sticking to the $5 deal
or phoenix resale is just a scumbag
He… had to take shelter from rain… inside his car??
Maybe there was hail which makes sense.
yea... u ever been in bad rain before? u cant see while driving, its dangerous
@@MRkriegs good GRAVY you dullard. I'm a mountaineer in the CANADIAN ROCKIES, who's been driving nearly every day for 36 years. DO YA THUNKS I've been in rain? LOL. Yet...never ONCE have I had to put my vehicle inside a shelter from the rain. The idiocy of the internet never ceases to amaze.... we get lower and lower.
@@FuturisticSwag405 you can see and hear the rain. If it were hailing - very different. Especially if large enough to damage a car.. and one might think he'd mention something that eventful lol. You can also see the other motorists happily driving along just fine.
@@MRkriegs I'm a mountaineer in the Canadian Rockies who's driven every day for 36 years. DO you think I might have driven in every condition imaginable. Winds blowing over semis, blizzard white outs (many times), closed roads due to conditions, torrential rain with flooding. Yet never ONCE have I had to shelter MY VEHICLE from rain. lol. The other motorists happily driving by don't seem to need to either. IF YOU ACTUALLY felt like pulling over, because you can't drive, you can...you don't need to shelter your CAR. LOL. Man....what's happening to some kids today? Critical thinking hasn't deteriorated - it's GONE.
As an outsider to this genre and person, it's clear from other videos this guy has sociopathic tendencies, via a lack of empathy and an excess of self-absorption. It points to narcissistic personality disorder at worst.
At best he's just very selfish, but his obsession with money pushes him into unethical territory.
You're EXACTLY right.
Are you a therapist
@@masamune28954I am. He's correct
I am and he's not wrong at all in a kind of right way.
Phoenix Resale can be annoying but you literally post clickbait that’s showing no proof 😂
I know right
What a scumbag. Imagine going to these lengths to steal $5 from a business. And then he says he left because he’s the victim in it. This is of course after he had the guy buff the games. Did he pay him for that? Of course not
If he truly was trying to get over on anyone why would he even talk about it in a video it makes zero sense how you’re trying to slander his name because he was disrespected and choose to walk away from a deal based on the store owners actions yes he had him buff the discs but why would he call him a lair in a store full of cameras
Ok slander this and slander that, anytime someone puts out criticism on someone, we don't have proof and why did he make the video and leave this in there and trash the store...theres more to it then we are being led on.
OH btw his viewers all review bombed this pawnshop for no reason as well but Im guessing thats OK by your standards
@@retroroughriders4579 he blurred the business out
@Retro Rough Riders what's the name of the Pawnshop so I can go read the reviews?
@@DaddyAnarky look in the video its on the side of the building...middleton pawn
I was trying to find the original vide on his channel where people were talking about leaving bad reviews in the comments, I dont have time to scour all of his videos its from 7-10 months ago someone can find it and link it, if he didnt take it down because of that
@@retroroughriders4579 blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Find something to do besides this... it's garbage.
This does not match Caleb's character at all. I've been viewing his channel for years now, while he is always looking for deals he always remains considerate and avoids ripping people off. His story is entirely believable not just from a point of plausibility, but also from his reputation as an honest and good natured person.
Funny thing is, this is basically a repost of someone else’s video with a clickbait title and a water mark. Not sure how this doesn’t get taken down.
uhhhh free commentary? Im in the USA so we arent in a communist country yet where people with money make the rules and everytime someone gets offended they can squeal/whine to someone....god things have gotten worse since I was in grade school with tattle tales.
This is dog S…t video take it down
Now if only the other video game stores does this to Phoenix Resale then the world would be a much happier place for us retro gamers! Screw resellers/scammers/scalpers!!!!!
Shut up
He is entitled very clearly.
you think he even admits it like saying he wants early access to conventions to pick out all the deals before the real collectors and public can get into the event, and he should be paid as a special guest on top of it
All words from his own mouth
@@retroroughriders4579 his parents clearly never told him no in his life
@@twistedsocietytv yeah it comes across 100% the way he acts
Bro your just jealous your probably like 5 and you want to be like him grow up and stop insulting someone who is nice and isn't toxic like you so shut up
Phoenix is just a spoiled brat for real
He is privileged. He can use people all he wants and they still love him lol Same with guys like Retro Rick. And he also has thousands of followers so it's not like he's just an Ebay guy. In fact Caleb isn't really an ebay guy most of his money comes from his TH-cam videos. He just uses his game collecting business to sell his face on TH-cam and other platforms.
yeah it is obvious just listen to the way he talks, and he thinks people make up their opinion and are just "hater hanks" as he calls them...yup keep being arrogant
Phoenix Resale failed not once, but Twice at his coin work. Even after getting lessons how to make it work when he got his 2nd chance.
We could tell him "well gratz for your success" but we're talking about someone who could not keep a "normal work".
He was quite down after he got fired a 2nd time, sure we could sympathize I guess with that and now he is rich by scamming/scalping others.
His scammmy "how I got this game for free" videos lol. I cant believe people fall for that stuff.
people do otherwise he wouldnt be where he is now
@@retroroughriders4579 it's just shitty how even TH-cam has become a predatory Ad space for even niche hobby markets.
so no proof nothing to add you just took a clip out of his video and put a title that paints him in a bad light with lies lol and for what clicks? to make him look bad? and your reasoning is it seemed like a shop owner and him had a misunderstanding or the owner tried to 1 up him. not to mention if you use common sense why would he switcheroo a game for almost no extra profit when he does not even need the money that bad.
What video is this from?
I SEE A LOT OF HATER HANKS IN HERE.
Says the I'll suck the Phoenix pole Hank
@@ESPINOZA316says the unkown console pfp
Watched phoenix Resale for awhile now, in my opinion he is honest and creates great content, you could tell the pawnshop was dodge asking him to turn camera off otherwise caleb would have proof that he was not lying fact
Nah telling someone to turn off a camera is normal not sus
@@WSFM_Rex interesting
@@jcurran19 you must be young. Cameras are often times used a weapon or tool for gathering information on someone before you attack them.
@@WSFM_Rexnot true loser
Phoenix resale is kinda icky in his own regard. He just comes off as fake, and I can't trust anything he says. The way he talks. Idk what happened, but I know I can't trust Phoenix Resale to be 100% honest any more than I can trust this random pawn shop owner
Dude is huge in real life. It’s crazy.
Guys please continue to make content. I can give you some insight possibly on my experience and just how corrupt this platform is
I mean its almost self explainitory, some sponsor approaches people and tells them/shapes their content for them, such as with whatnot and how all these guys jumped on board.
@@retroroughriders4579 please keep making content
@@kevinyoung5993 whats the best, focusing on lunch box rick and phoenix? ive personally just taken a break and havent been watching their content as much. Plus havent got too good of a video editor, my go to software is outdated(wont handle newer HD footage for crap)
@Retro Rough Riders honestly. Id love to see a video exposing the whole video game category of whatnot, how clique-like the whole network is behind the scenes. And showing how scummy theses guys really can be. Gamergalaxy being a prime example
@@kevinyoung5993 same we need this video
You guys can complain about Caleb and his tactics but to change prices on someone and justify it by saying your customer is lying is not cool and I wouldnt buy from them either. So you guys can keep bashing on Caleb but I see his reasoning for not buying from him. It be like you agreeing on a price from someone on the market place. You show up and they say on that will be $10 and not $5 like you agreed.
I just wanna know what pawn shop it was. He lives close to me.
i guess business is business...and thats everyones right i suppose. however the problem i have with guys like him is more so just taking all he can....all the good deals ....taking those opportunities away from the average collector like myself who is trying to grow their modest collection and its so hard with retro prices being so high in general...he then turns around and continues to make it even harder by reselling at a high price. and im not just talking about Phoenix Resale....but reselling as a whole . those who want to get close to that "dollar value" of the item! say a game is "worth" 40 bucks.....someone is selling it for 5....he gets it and sells it for even 30...wow i saved 10 bucks from the dollar value....but lost out on 25 on the original sale. now i can see it a little different if you have a store and people bring their games in to sell or trade. but to just go out and take everything you can before the average person can even have the chance. its just not a good thing .
Bro I know crappy stores like that, I doubt Phoenix would care about $5. It the principal. I avoid crap stores like that and those stores usually go out of business.
Caleb might be annoying but this feels like such a stretch to make him look bad 😂
He makes himself look bad, no point to even make videos like this. He is a businessman and knows how to sell his personality and his face though, I will give him that the dude is a massive success, hell I don't like him much and even I watch his videos...He is a TH-cam celebrity, literally every seller at the game conventions he goes to are dying to get in one of his or Retro Ricks videos just so they can get some exposure for their channels and I guess I can't really blame them! It gets to the point where it's pretty pathetic though, the other small-time re-sellers will lick his butt and never say anything remotely negative about him while he gets rich off of them...🤣🤣
"make himself look bad" he is bad and he makes himself look bad himself stop being a bootlicker of him
He's a piece of crap that drives up the price of old games everywhere.
Caleb is right. That guy was trash.
Retro Rough Riders gets caught doing the old click baiteroo
I love how someone is mad over anothers success may the person that stole this video and re uploaded it trying to slander someones name stub there toe for enternity
I've come across some pretty bad pawn shops. Some where they were just giving attitude for no reason. I'd walk out 100 percent of the time.
Nah fr the pawn shop guy should just check cams I doubt Caleb would lie about something like this. L video trying to defame a solid TH-camr.
I don’t really care either way but if you advertise a price and then agree to that price again only to find out the value is a little higher than you thought initially you should still honor the agreed upon price
Try to Support the local business for 10$ lol
Ikr lol. That's like your nan giving you a dollar for your birthday as a kid and saying don't spend it all in the one store.
This is literally just stealing content lol, you didn't even add any evidence for your claims or comentate. Using another TH-camrs name to gain views...
its really pathetic
im not monetized or anything, no paid discords, no patreon, no what not referral link etc etc...
this is for the people who wish to seek the truth.
@@retroroughriders4579 you’re a hater lol
@@retroroughriders4579 your still gaining views
@@NinjaTenK gaining awareness
Bro gives people like 400$ for 2000$ collections and uses his channel as leverage " you get to be in my video " !
"MY WORD AH HAVE NEVAH BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS IN MUH LIFE!" holy crap. just the way he talks to the viewer. What a turd.
L Video. You think he’d do that for 5 bucks? Use your brain. Maybe just maybe he really did grab the game in the $5 section.
sure, i seen him threaten to not do a deal last minute before swiping his card to get $10-20 off or whatever, that convention video where he did a bunch of scummy crap
seen him beg people for discounts for the "gamecube childhood collection of his dreams" only to sell the games off after the series was over on youtube.
He probably did...the pawnshop owners probably checked the prices and went up on one of the games. Pawnshops be doing that BS
Technically their is no proof. But if the pawn shop DID do it, it's really scummy to make a video about it. The honorable thing to do would be to let it go. Either way being review bombed is unethical. He clearly has no remorse...
yeah, and i think in the same video he cried about his grandpa...like these people have No shame or self awareness to what they put out on the internet
😂 he’s reasonable when it comes to negotiation, it’s a matter of principle.
He’s still my favorite resaler!!
This Dude Is Clearly A Karen LOL! He Really Is!
IDK about Karen, maybe we should coin the term "Caleb"
@@retroroughriders4579AH Good Point! Caleb Is The New Karen HAHA!
I understand he may have done a switch on that pawnshop, but I don't understand the entitlement and arrogant criticisms. He's literally just a normal guy and yeah resellers are gonna seem "scammy" and look like scalpers, but resellers are kinda valid in pricing their stuff somewhat higher. If we're not gonna spend our time looking for that specific game at a reasonable price, then we can pay for someone's time, effort, and negotiating skills to acquire those physical titles for us. Again, if he really did do a switch to get a lower price, then that's unethical and to frame it as if he was victim is not right. BUT this speculation, if we heard the pawn store employees side maybe we could draw a more conclusive picture. It genuinely doesn't seem like he was trying to get any sympathy or frame it differently, just explain his side of the situation.
The only thing suspect is you made this video. Alot bigger issues to tackle than this petty bs.
Theory 3 is that *he made the whole thing up.* We just don't know what he did. But best case for him is he's being honest... but who makes a video about that? A narcissist had an insanely charged exaggerated over emphasis on anything that _happens_ to them. Any criticism engages mentally ill defensiveness. At the end of the day he's clearly not being reasonable on some level.
I will never understand the hate for a lot of TH-camrs lmaooo like I can understand if they actually scam people or do something actually bad lmaoooo
Check the cameras
Men if I can’t record they can take a hike or piss off 😡owner reminds me of df toluca market people
Phoenix resale is the absolute worst. Wish Videos like this would go viral to maybe get rid of this clown..
Where's the pawn shop video. What switch aroo. I'm sure they spoke he's very forward dude wanted the meat from the bone. Oh yeah videos and videos of a high paying buyer always rips off 😅
What kinda video is this, this is some next level hater energy 🤣 some people are way too invested on people who dont even know you 💀🤡
and you way too invested protecting some guy who cares nothing about you and only about his bottom line profit margins
@retroroughriders4579 says you?? 💀🤡 you literally made a video about someone who doesnt know you. Literally basement dweller activity 💀 get your priorities straight lil bro.
20 each and your total was 15 still a score he should have just considered it a buffing disc fee and why would he take your word for it. phoenix resale is overrated and i watched a guy who only does rants on him and it was fantastic
5lotham😂😂😂😂😂
This is just stealing another man’s video
I would of said put you're money where you're mouth is I'll bet you 100 dollars that this came from the 5 dollar section go run the camera back....
And then he got so mad he punch me in my poindexter looking face
What a crybaby
Does this guy have any real fans?
At least give reasoning not just post a clip that you cut
the reasoning is why would he need to include this in a video? IF he doesnt have proof why should he make such a claim and whine about it? And in turn his viewers reviews bombed the business with lies and 1 star reviews.
Is that honest action to be taking against a business "viewers" never visited?
Welp we will never learn the truth because he couldn’t film in there I have been hearing bout businesses trying to scam people out money
Proof?
Click bait
Yall just hating 😂😂
The truth is likely somewhere in between. If it's somewhat true he definitely embellishes it. ♡♡♡♡
See if he would have let you record he could have just checked the footage... BOOM easy fixed D___P The no filming rule is just sooo Dumb.. but whatever
I actually know there’s guys in prison and they are good guys you know you just have to get to know them like I am pretty sure, and it was this TH-cam channel is probably a good guy to not everyone who works hard is a scammer. But not but love keep up work god bless.
Lmao this is a funny clip you know he’s exaggerating so badly. The one time he doesn’t record an interaction it goes like this 🤣
Honestly the only thing I can think of is that he argued over 5 dollars even though he still getting a deal. Also I would’ve left the store too depending on the aggression of the seller and felt uncomfortable as well as he mentions feeling icky. Him storytelling is part of TH-cam and his goal is views and I imagine is part of his income.
Goteeeeeeem.
I'm sorry but he's a liar you could tell by his body motion and his body language in the eyes that is lying
potentially? idk im not a expert i just know its dirty to put this stuff out on youtube like this. Imagine what hed do if someone disagreed with him as a vendor somewhere, hed probably frame them up in a video the same way
Phoenix did not get what he wanted like the spoiled brat he is. Remember we're talking about someone who failed on his "normal work" not once, but twice.
Even after getting lessons and a 2nd chance he still couldn't do it and got fired again. But scamming/scalping ppl is much easier and he's rich now due to it.
But the ultra mega sweaty fanbase he has will just tell you "don't you dare trash talk my Phoenix, hurr durr you evil person".
What? No, he is obviously just upset and thrown off
Clickbait nonsense
What kinda made up nonsense is this
Ok so no proof at all just stealing a clip from his video got it
phoenix gave no proof either just his word....think about it a bit before taking someone you never met in real life's side
@@retroroughriders4579his word is more valid than you taking a clip from one of his videos for your own views. You did literally nothing but put a title on it and expect people to side with you
Exactly
@@angrybirdbob2881 Right. Could have even just added some audio narration or something lol
And now he’s spending 150k on an app to further rip people off
Caleb is the biggest vulture and I hate that he had to choose retro gaming to scalp. I like retro games and want to eventually collect full libraries, but he’s driving up costs and eventually it’s going to be super costly all because he wanted to be a vulture
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 game over man you lose!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is a joke
Nice try scammer
😂😂😂😂
Can’t stand this guy
I’m glad they treated you this way
