$230 for the Mario edition 3Ds is a fair offer. $30 for oasis, dragon quest VII and fire emblem is theft. That guy needs to do more research on his inventory 😂
Enjoyed the video but something about pointing a camera at a guy while negotiating with them doesn’t sit well with me. Some don’t mind but others you can tell aren’t comfortable with it and feel pressured to accept whatever number you throw at them
@@compsigh9275 I’ve seen them in TH-cam videos before and I’m sure they are TH-camrs themselves and they have people all the time making content with them so your talking out your ass for thinking I don’t know my shit
Love this channel but the videos just don't hit the same anymore. The focus is more on the business (Which is understandable) but it's just not fun to watch. It just makes the whole thing feel soulless. With the Gamecube gambit, it was exciting to see the old games you could find and the hunt to complete the list was fun. This just isn't for me. And the constant mention of your business model every 5 minutes just gets boring. I don't know, maybe others don't agree but I miss the old days of pawn shops, game stores, etc. Now its just you having a list of games, your app and knowing exactly what price you need to buy for. It makes for such a boring watch. Can't make it through a full video anymore.
I'm in agreement, these are not fun anymore and while I made it through this, I was more just checking the Amazon Renewed value and cringing as what he's paying these people
A lot of people would. That game went up from being 50 3 years ago to 95. I got my copy from a friend and I paid them 50. Was looking at them again a few weeks ago and the selling price is up there.
Thanks for the con video. I met you there and told you these are my favorite videos. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me for a bit. Hope you enjoyed the con and hope I meet you at another one.
Absolutely, and to resell too. They probably feel obliged to go along with it. And asking a seller how much they paid for an item? I would have told him to fuck off.
Feels like Caleb isn't spending much time on negotiating now. Feels like he is there to make a deal to satisfy his viewers rather than for the cash itself.
Trys to act nice so he can finesse the vendors lmao even though he's already making a video recording their inventory as "content" which will generate him profit on the video.
@@hh-lg1heif you saved 4 minutes of your time and life and the vendors time and life x50 games by just paying the dollar how much money could you make in that time you saved by paying the dollar? Let’s say you spent 100 dollars but had 100 minutes, don’t you think you could make more than 100 dollars in 100 minutes? Especially at a damn convention?
Phoenix resale may be a huge part of your TH-cam life when you take a nap and have a dream about the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie excited about all the cameos, and then Caleb pops up for a OneUp add in the movie🤣
I bought my Crystal Chronicles Gamecube CIB at a Book Off in Hyogo Amagasaki by a mall for 130k yen in 2018. Raved to the ATM as soon as I found out what it was.
I love how uncomfortable you made that vender at the end trying to unload all your garbage inventory on the spot on camera. I feel so bad. Dude didn’t really want to buy any of your junk but was too nice. You can hear it in his voice. 😂
things i got from this video...nothing in the thumbnail was actually bought at the convention. He's willing to drive 7 hours to the convention but not spend 3 minutes installing a new battery, which should be sop. he could have bought a 5.00 game, replaced the back with a 2.00 nba challenge and saved thwee dollars. good video though
just go to the vendors and find their highest demand items that sell the fastest and try to lowball them so you can sell them fast - very smart tactic not everyone can do. contributes nothing to the process except making a few dollars in his pocket. Why does this middleman need to exist? This is exactly why prices keep going up and up on this garbage. Collectors selling to other collectors is ideal. The more middlemen you have involved the higher the prices get.
Pole Position is old af. I remember playing that game along with Dig Dug on my Windows 95 way back in the day. Honestly, I'm surprised the price isn't higher tbh. lol
This type of reselling has so many middleman trying to get their 10-15% margins that it makes it difficult unless you find someone who doesn't know the proper value or you haggle down the price with everyone
Hi Phoenix Resale please can you advise me? I would like to know what disk resurfacer you have and what you recommend for my small business as a good investment? Many thanks, Jack
Maybe I missed something but the comps (ebay) for a lot of the titles Phoenix picked up are right about what he paid for them. Is the idea to sell a ton of stuff with tight margins? that Mario 64 DS cart goes for about 19.99 and with the deal it looked like he got it for maybe 17 or 18?
Unfortunately all older pokemon games before the Switch will lose purpose because the 3DS Pokemon Bank app will close down forever soon. It might lower their value since people won't have a need for them, unless you're just collecting them.
Oh man, that pizza was terrible!! Someone tell Dan to beg Ian’s to come back next year! Hope to see you back again next year and good luck with the app!
I miss the pawn shop videos
Pawn shops don’t fit his current business model
I can’t imagine pawn shops being OK with him walking around filming this stuff..
His channels dying, it's just not the same as it was

Facts
They see cameras all the time these people are super familiar with them usually but that doesn’t mean all of them are so I agree
@@BLACK_FORTYFIVEtalking out of your ass 😂 you don’t know these people

@@compsigh9275 Neither tf do you apparently
Every time he lowballs and gets forced to pay higher loll
lol, that was funny. "Where are you at?" "I'm at 270."
First hour of the convention: "sooo... done any deals yet?"
I love that these videos are back please do these and pawn shop videos more! ❤️
Riff is the best part of this video 😂 the simple “no” edit was hilarious
Here for Retro Rick cameos only
Ran into him and Michael at that con, they were awesome!
We just gonna pretend he’s not wearing that hat with the cardboard insert still in the front? 😂 30:08
I see it now
I would pretend to be closed if Phoenix came up to me
24:37 A wild Mr. Wright Way was spotted
I keep telling everyone Riff deserves a raise!!!

Bro is a millionaire that constantly has to remind us for the sake of stroking his ego XD
Caleb and Ricks relationship is such a vibe 😂
Ah, video game conventions. How I’ve missed you
Why low ball fellow vendors for your own amazon price gouging profit though...
No vendor has to sell for that price
He can pay the higher margins as he's selling on Amazon Renewed so that gets him the extra premium ($41 for Mario 3 for example)
Hardly find crap anymore because everyone Including antique dealers are buying up the games
Sorry my Pokemon games were too pricey for you at MGC! 🤪
-Derrick from aBizarreProject
Not even hating on Caleb but in general anyone who would genuinely pay 90+ for Pokémon leaf green is fucking crazy to me
But people are paying more for what they want not necessarily because of price.
It sells on Amazon for $200+
Pokemon games almost always go up in crazy value.
The fact that you said "not even hating on Caleb" tells me you don't care much for him 😅
A lot of people would. That game went up from being 50 3 years ago to 95. I got my copy from a friend and I paid them 50. Was looking at them again a few weeks ago and the selling price is up there.
That boxed Final Fantasy gamecube is crazyyy
When are these amazon buyers gonna wake up and start shopping smarter?
Right?
It,s painful to see Amazon buyers getting ripped off with the kind of pricing they are willing to pay for used video games 😮
Thanks for the con video. I met you there and told you these are my favorite videos. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me for a bit. Hope you enjoyed the con and hope I meet you at another one.
Give the editor his homebrews my dude
Getting in early on day 1 and asking for deals . Kinda cringe.
Absolutely, and to resell too. They probably feel obliged to go along with it. And asking a seller how much they paid for an item? I would have told him to fuck off.
Cringe makes the money though. Respect the hustle
I don't believe he paid 3k or the original seller was legally insane.
6:03 i've never laughed harder at an editor riff cutaway. Caleb if you ever make budget cuts, Aaron is the last to go.
Couldn't you just use Google Lens to help you identify all of those Amiibos you don't know?
What is google lens? And is it free?
Feels like Caleb isn't spending much time on negotiating now. Feels like he is there to make a deal to satisfy his viewers rather than for the cash itself.
I would be way too overwhelmed with excitedness to be at a video game convention! 😂
I’m a reseller in the Netherlands and that’s a lot harder I only go to pawn shops Tomorrow I’m maybe going to 6 pawn shops
I resell in the neighboring country. There aren’t a lot of pawn shops near me so I have to hunt online or at yard sales
Yoooo thats my homie in the first booth you stopped at, hell yeah.
“Hey I saw you got Tetris there for $15. Is is cool if I paid $13?” Not hating but damn, just pay the $15 at that point. Lol
Dude that would drive me nuts, like you’re really gunna haggle for 1-2 dollars????
Trys to act nice so he can finesse the vendors lmao even though he's already making a video recording their inventory as "content" which will generate him profit on the video.
If you save 2$ for 50 games each, how much money did you saved?
@@hh-lg1heif you saved 4 minutes of your time and life and the vendors time and life x50 games by just paying the dollar how much money could you make in that time you saved by paying the dollar?

bro is complaining about labor cost on scrubbing a gameboy cartridge for 5 mins
I was there too and I spent $200 in 48 hours...I can't wait to go back with a little more spending money next time. It was an absolute blast!
Wondered if that guys ever got his $10k for that GameCube 🤔
Mario 3 you had one left label and 5 right side. I think the left side is more rare I believe

1:48 “Looks like you have a solid… solid Wii section here…” 😂😂😂
love your videos man!!! keep up the good work!!!
24:43 Mr Wright Way 😂😂😂
7:17 Caleb finally admitted it. +10 respect added to attributes.
Made it into this video!
Sold you the leaf green at the beginning!
Hopefully I we can make more deals next year
Nice to see you and rick still at it 😀
love the video! its so cool to see all the stuff at Cons!
I miss the pawn shop vids please bring them back!
I love how uncomfortable you made that vender at the end trying to unload all your garbage inventory on the spot on camera. I feel so bad. Dude didn’t really want to buy any of your junk but was too nice. You can hear it in his voice. 😂
I felt the same, dude was like "I don't want any of these"
Kind of rude how he tried unloading all his junk on his “friend”.
Your videos stopped coming up on my feed. I need to like all of the videos so they come more often! Also, editor Riff needs a double raise. :-D

Tell riff to wear a shirt 😂
1:46 Rick looks like the most huggable person alive
First video I’ve watched in a couple months
We all know, retro or real gamer while Phoenix resale has only played less than 2% of his games
Love me some conversation videos. Lol Retro Rick 🤣🤣
Pole Position is old af. I remember playing that game along with Dig Dug on my Windows 95 way back in the day. Honestly, I'm surprised the price isn't higher tbh. lol
I wish they had this kind of scene in the UK
I love the way you do business. That last vendor deal was so high quality. Keep up the great work
What is going on at 7:16? Is a dude using games he's expecting people to buy to kill a bug or something.
Yeah he is 😂
Yes a game that’s been through far worse lmao
@@9BallBorystop cursing its a sin dude.
God Dave is an inspiration to time management
Hyped for the Convention videos this season

Me and my kids are going to ComicCon 2025 San Diego. This is super helpful on when we go there and know what to look for.
did you see that one of the mario bros 3 you bought on the labe the bros is on the left that means it a rarer copies of the game just so you know
Saw it
34:41 that switch case is Awesome I rarely play my switch but I'd pay like $60 for it it looks so nice so does the quality
2:29 he called him Spanky. Like from Drawn Together.
awesome love the con videos
Yay. Old school Phoenix video 😎
Love your vids bro. They inspire me. I hope to inspire others
I presume your rumble paks sell well due to Zelda Orcorina of time. They allow you to detect hidden dungeons while walking around.
Finally some actual content
Phoenix: “where you at on this guy?”
Bradley Martin: “I’m at 260 bro”
Maybe I missed something but the comps (ebay) for a lot of the titles Phoenix picked up are right about what he paid for them. Is the idea to sell a ton of stuff with tight margins? that Mario 64 DS cart goes for about 19.99 and with the deal it looked like he got it for maybe 17 or 18?
With $4.000 you can buy a new PC that includes the 4090 graphics card and play the best games PC plays everything the consoles can’t
5 minutes in i hope rick keeps popping up because its funny
Justice for editor Rick!!!
Unfortunately all older pokemon games before the Switch will lose purpose because the 3DS Pokemon Bank app will close down forever soon. It might lower their value since people won't have a need for them, unless you're just collecting them.
His favourite game of all time last year was Breath of the Mook. Now it's God of War Ragnarok? I wonder what it will be next year!
that guy that lifts the lid on his display but doesnt have any glass xD
Magic erasers work wonder for writing like that on carts
that game genie jacket is fire
21:00 Why are you wasting that guys time doing your shill? while others TRYING TO BUY GAMES!!!
I miss the garage sale finds!
Loved it!
1Up needs Amiibo recognition.
haha bro at 19:00 looked mad annoyed haha
Oh hell yeah, you know he was thinking, like yo, gtfo of my way
That’s a bad ass shirt sir.
Caleb's long lost brother at 2:19
I laughed my balls off to this comment Thank you!
I didnt even know you went to the classic this year! I ran into Retro rick at least!
You're going to have to rank all your different convention pizza lol
Tom my boy, to bad we had thefts at the booth that day
Yea sad to lose some games and trust. Still will be back next year!
so let me ask what app are you using to check your prices to make sure your at the price you need to be at ?
Great video.
Oh man, that pizza was terrible!! Someone tell Dan to beg Ian’s to come back next year! Hope to see you back again next year and good luck with the app!
I thought those Fire Emblem collectors editions were cool and I ordered a few when they came out.
Great video! Wii sports is so cheap over here in the Netherlands. You can find them for less then $5 complete. There isn’t much interest in the game.
