Hey Caleb! I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved man! I’ve commented on one of your other videos about your journey to get your Nintendo Switch game collection for your new game room, that you’ve rekindled my spirit of having a switch again recently and today got two more games to add to my collection. I want to say that it’s okay to stay in that space and reflect on how far you’ve come. It’s amazing to see how much you’ve accomplished within the last four years and it’s a victory that is worth celebrating. Even though it may feel u comfortable to become emotional, but it’s okay! You can feel emotional about how far you’ve come and how much you’ve achieved for your business and for you personally! Just wanted to encourage you to continue to do what you do well and what you love doing as well! You’ve encouraged me and I’m sure that others feel the same as well! Thanks for an awesome content! Love your videos man! Keep it up!!!!
it's crazy how much I love this channel and always look forward to the weekly uploads. I literally ran into this channel randomly in December of 2021 when I was shiny hunting for Dialga in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and one of Caleb's videos just randomly popped up and I just binged them as I shiny hunted. Been watching every video ever since!
Editor riff at 18:27 is the best 😂 Love your videos man the edits always makes me enjoy your videos But your finds and flips are always interesting to see!!
Favourite thing on this Vid was hearing your story on where your TH-cam name came from, congrats Caleb hard work and dedication pays off!!! Awesome channel!
Came across this channel recently and gotta say, Caleb you seem to be like a pretty cool dude. Just a humble person that loves video games. Wish you all the success brother and keep doing what you do. I just subscribed.
Awesome story, never give up even when at your lowest is the takeaway I get, now you’re doing something that involves what you love and that’s video games 👏🏽 keep it up caleb
When I first started watching your channel I though you were based out of Arizona. I love the videos, and I’m happy for your success, you are out there broadcasting good vibes to your viewers.
Glad to see how far you've came! you and Retro Rick are the reason i started reselling. lookin' forward to seeing the growth over the next years! Love bro!
Thank you for the naming origin. I wasn't fully aware of your beginnings. "For one to fully walk, one must trip & fall". I've not gotten jobs I knew I was highly qualified for, it stings. I've lost jobs as well. The plan for us will work out, not usually in the way we foresee. Thing is Caleb, your path doesn't just effect you, others, like myself, have drawn inspiration from seeing your success. Cheers, good man!🍻
Man it’s been a fun journey. My first video I watched and have been watching the channel since was I believe your first time selling at a mini con or convention.
Man i felt nostalgic watching this. Looking at all the games and saying to myself "I have that game too! And that Playstation 4" but I just love your videos.
Sad because you only sold $15 from your booth??? C'mon give me a break that wasn't even a booth, a few hats and plushies?? 😂. You paid to be a vendor to get in early and start buying from other vendors before the public gets in. You could of at least made an effort and brought a lot of you stuff from home to sell like an actual vendor. I get the push to flip and make money with even some of your videos saying you stating you're collecting or a huge fan ect just to sell it all off. This video even with the Scrooge McDuck shirt just felt distasteful and is a L.
Love your sarcasm and how you can laugh at yourself. After 2+(3?)years watching, glad to hear how you rose up frome the ashes. Hope to see ya again Greenville, SC at SEGE in July. Stay sarcastic, dude!
Tip of the day! When asking is that your best price! Always wait for them to give you a price! Don’t play the game of “what’s your offer” say what ever your last price is! Lol
I just found your channel and I'm loving it! Also you should grow your beard back, much more handsome with it. I love the editing too and I will probably visit some conventions near my area or garage sales. Watching these videos makes me want some handheld consoles for me and my future kids. Keep up with the amazing videos
Could you imagine selling something at your booth just to see the customer go to the booth across the aisle and try to sell the same item for twice what he paid you for it 😂😂😂
They do the same thing before Caleb gets to them. It's the same business just done faster. As a reseller if someone can get profit after I sell it to them that makes me pretty happy.
louisville huh, do you ever come across jim cornette? he goes to some local cons there, mostly wrestling cons, but he's into comic book collecting as well, I think there's a comic con in lexington that he goes to every year... wait, what am I saying, he hasn't really left the house since the pandemic lol nvm
Love the story of the Phoenix. The early church used it as a symbol of understanding the death and resurrection of Christ. To me it is a beautiful reflection of new life (in Christ) but also of new beginnings. It seems fitting for your story, thanks for sharing
So he's basically pretending to be a seller just to get in before the masses and snipe the good stuff. 😂 7:03 Roller Games OST, awesome beat 'em up btw. 18:42 He almost cried talking about the bat but just gave gave it to RTG85. I've seen this same baseball bat in a recent RTG85's video. 😅
A. He’s a guest at the convention and has a panel so he’s not pretending to be anything as well as many conventions have pre access passes that allow people to get first dibs B. The bat in this video clearly has a phoenix at the end while the bat he gave rtg has rtg engraved into it with no phoenix.
That Professor Layton game, my wife and I found, game only for about 3-4 years ago at a con for $40-50CAD. Started looking for a case for it and it's going for 200+ for the case alone.
Caleb, I have an awesome Switch game recommendation that I don't know if you played it already or not since I think it's a year or two old. It's called Superliminal and it's a puzzle/thriller-ish game that is one of my favorites. It's pretty quick and I first finished it in about 2 hours. The game is awesome and the ending is beautiful, which is surprising for a puzzle type game. I highly recommend!! You won't be disappointed! ;)
I like your videos Caleb! Cause of you I kinda do the same, buying games online 2nd hand, same goes for handhelds. Recently bought a Pokemon Platinum game for DS completely sealed for 50€, I resold it for 150€ a week later!
13:37 I bought one of these in 2003 for $20 at TRU when I played Yugioh for the sheer purpose of cosplaying as Seto Kaiba. A few years later I threw it away b/c I didn’t think anything of it & I needed the room. That was not a smart move.
I can’t finish this video. I am never a fan of when resellers get first picks during setup of a game expo before the public can get to the deals. But I am not gonna hate, Caleb has his hustle and gotta feed his family.
@@Idk-tl6jq he buys the table so he can get first picks around the hall - he has 4 items on his table for sale, you can hardly call that a vendor. I'm sure a lot of the actual vendors do the same thing, its just the act of filming yourself doing it and then bragging about finds makes it feel very douchy.
Blame the convention for allowing people to buy a pass to come in early. Hell my local expo in Cleveland lets you pay 80$ just for the early access on Friday morning so blame them
I would appreciate, and im sure many with me, if you can do a video when you only talks about your dark time before Phoenix Resale… That had been very interesting to learn more about the ”true you”, why and how you became the person you are today.
I owned that same ps4 console limited edition black ops n matching controller I love it mines also has 1tb drive in it its very rare system n it in mine collection n I'm keep it forever I've seen only one on Amazon n it was near 400 just for console n matching controller goes for 100 plus on avg u ever seen it buy it u make money back on it or add it too your collection is must if u love ps4 limited edition console
Always wondered about your origin story. I'm aware of phoenix mythology, but always wondered how you came up to use it! Sombre and triumphant story, good for you man, you're an inspiration (:
Claw machines become an addiction. I have about 100+ figures on 3 different shelves just from the wins I have. I did have one shelf just of doubles but I manage to sell all those and have just a few left now.
Man that vendor with the fancy casings for his games knows how to treat his games lol. Beautiful cases
right? looks all clean and well taken

great comeback story and an inspiration to all. that bat flip, i was concerned but you succeeded lol cleanest flip to end a video
Thanks for the video. I was there, and it was great meeting you!
Editor riff at 18:27 is the best 😂
Love your videos man the edits always makes me enjoy your videos
But your finds and flips are always interesting to see!!
Glad you liked that 😂
Favourite thing on this Vid was hearing your story on where your TH-cam name came from, congrats Caleb hard work and dedication pays off!!! Awesome channel!
Keep grinding! I live in Alaska in a city that doesn’t have any used game stores. So online resellers like you are life savors for people like me!
I appreciate that!
I here you in my area there aren't a ton of retro stores so the online scene is where I get my stuff as well
This is my favorite type of content. So much nostalgia in one video with the touch of personal insight.
Came across this channel recently and gotta say, Caleb you seem to be like a pretty cool dude. Just a humble person that loves video games.
Wish you all the success brother and keep doing what you do. I just subscribed.
Glad to hear your story Caleb! You truly embody the Phoenix in your resale business! Love your videos and your journey!
Recently came across your channel and love the content and super inspiring to see how far you have come with your journey!
Awesome story, never give up even when at your lowest is the takeaway I get, now you’re doing something that involves what you love and that’s video games 👏🏽 keep it up caleb
I didn’t know Ned Flanders was a reseller
When I first started watching your channel I though you were based out of Arizona. I love the videos, and I’m happy for your success, you are out there broadcasting good vibes to your viewers.
He’s based out of Kentucky.
@@mariokart8715 yup.
Glad to see how far you've came! you and Retro Rick are the reason i started reselling. lookin' forward to seeing the growth over the next years! Love bro!
Caleb will want to visit Retro Rick’s Game Point in Conway, Arkansas.
It was dope as hell meeting you there.
Tim always dishing the deals, what a standup guy
When Caleb spends $1000 means we’re gonna see him purchase $1,000,000 worth of product.
@@zachdennett it was a joke. Caleb always offers fair prices and has repeatedly shown he hates lowballing people.
"And that's how I became rich"
Great channel, love the content, and nice to see John Riggs
This was sooo Awesome! So Happy For you! Keep up the dope work!
We’re flipping claw machine prizes now too? I got to keep up with these new age resellers.
Thank you for the naming origin. I wasn't fully aware of your beginnings.
"For one to fully walk, one must trip & fall".

Pixel Plus gives this video a solid F 😂
For Fantastic!
For F'ing Incredible
"Definitely between A and B"
"Agreed"
* *puts in F* *
I regret nothing
@@PixelGameSquad 😆
Good seeing you today man! Can’t believe I wasn’t subbed! Fixed that
Can't believe you re-gifted that bat to RGT, LMAO🤣
I thought the same thing. Gave him a bat with phoenix resale on it??
Disc rot is going to love your collection.
Sad because you only sold $15 from your booth??? C'mon give me a break that wasn't even a booth, a few hats and plushies?? 😂.

tricks of the trade
Cry a river
It was just a table in the corner. Doesn’t count as a booth.
Love your sarcasm and how you can laugh at yourself. After 2+(3?)years watching, glad to hear how you rose up frome the ashes. Hope to see ya again Greenville, SC at SEGE in July. Stay sarcastic, dude!
Those brawler 64 controllers are awesome, I’ve picked up a couple a while back and they are great!
You're insane doing what you do.
Not really
The Plushie hustle is honestly clever
Damn. THAT PLUSHY man is insane. I felt the GRIND

Huge slap in the face
That’s how the game is played.
You do know that every store that exists sells their products for more than they paid for them.
They do the same thing before Caleb gets to them. It's the same business just done faster. As a reseller if someone can get profit after I sell it to them that makes me pretty happy.
It’s not a good look but it’s not like they paid retail for it most of the vendors probably paid max 45ish% retail for the inventory probably less….
Okay, I wish these types of expos were around in Australia
I was there as well. I was looking for you. Big fan lol 😂
I was here too and somehow missed you! I was able to snag some solid deals.
I'm glad you found something you like to do. We all have our low moments.
Congrats on your success my man! I think last years video of you at this convention got me hooked on your page! Keep up the great content!
He then went on to give that bat to RGT 😂😂😂
12:04
Hey! That’s PirateCanvas! Ayooooo
louisville huh, do you ever come across jim cornette? he goes to some local cons there, mostly wrestling cons, but he's into comic book collecting as well, I think there's a comic con in lexington that he goes to every year... wait, what am I saying, he hasn't really left the house since the pandemic lol nvm

wish i could of came out.. other than that love the story on how you got your channel name!
So he's basically pretending to be a seller just to get in before the masses and snipe the good stuff. 😂
7:03 Roller Games OST, awesome beat 'em up btw.
18:42 He almost cried talking about the bat but just gave gave it to RTG85. I've seen this same baseball bat in a recent RTG85's video. 😅

Dis guy is a certified D rider😂😂😂
@@BayareaXotics it’s unnecessary misinformation. If you cant see that I don’t know what to tell you bro.
18:29 I actually thought there was a crowd 😭
the guy with the plushs is the real spongebob crane master😂😂
I live in KY. How in THE...did I miss this expo???
That Professor Layton game, my wife and I found, game only for about 3-4 years ago at a con for $40-50CAD. Started looking for a case for it and it's going for 200+ for the case alone.

During Caleb’s monologue at the end I KNEW RIFF WAS GONNA SAY SOMETHING LMFAOOO
Watching all the way from Phoenix, AZ but wanted to say I love these videos... Are you attending so cal retro gaming expo in a few weeks?
Love your stuff man looking for the next one 😊😊😊
I like your videos Caleb!
Cause of you I kinda do the same, buying games online 2nd hand, same goes for handhelds.
Recently bought a Pokemon Platinum game for DS completely sealed for 50€, I resold it for 150€ a week later!
8:53 “Turtles in Time” what a reseller
Lmao you gifted RGT85 a gift you got from someone at the convention 😂
yeah what the heck??
It's not the same one. If you look at them. RGT one also has RGT on it
Lmfao 😂
13:37 I bought one of these in 2003 for $20 at TRU when I played Yugioh for the sheer purpose of cosplaying as Seto Kaiba. A few years later I threw it away b/c I didn’t think anything of it & I needed the room. That was not a smart move.
That mustache is just so good!
Had no idea about the name 😢 very cool
I can’t finish this video. I am never a fan of when resellers get first picks during setup of a game expo before the public can get to the deals. But I am not gonna hate, Caleb has his hustle and gotta feed his family.
It’s because he is a vendor. Also some of the expos allow you to pay extra to get in early.
he doens't really see his family does he
@@Idk-tl6jq he buys the table so he can get first picks around the hall - he has 4 items on his table for sale, you can hardly call that a vendor.
I'm sure a lot of the actual vendors do the same thing, its just the act of filming yourself doing it and then bragging about finds makes it feel very douchy.
it’s like this at any convention, not just video games. It’s the way the world works get over it. There’s plenty of games left for everybody
Blame the convention for allowing people to buy a pass to come in early. Hell my local expo in Cleveland lets you pay 80$ just for the early access on Friday morning so blame them
Man it’s crazy seeing Tim C on here I’ve made deals with him for years! 🙌
The story behind your name is amazing. Really happy for you and excited to see you continue to grow!
In Layton, Utah there’s gonna be a video game swap meet that I will be attending.
Caleb! Where did buddy get those NES cases?!
11:55 my guy was whistling the lost forest theme from Mario RPG and thought I wouldn’t notice
These videos have inspired me to make a list of games that I want for a few of my Nintendo consoles
I have 2 of those brawler controllers for the n64 and they work so well, your gonna enjoy those!!
I would appreciate, and im sure many with me, if you can do a video when you only talks about your dark time before Phoenix Resale… That had been very interesting to learn more about the ”true you”, why and how you became the person you are today.
so weird to hear caleb say that many complete ds games are rare here its more rare to find incomplete ds games
Thanks for coming to the grid CLT it is my hometown
Good job on your video keep going 🙌🏾
Can’t wait for your rgt video. Just watched his video a couple days ago. Wanna see your pov on it:)
Caleb, that ending made me emotional 🥲
I totally forgot that expo was happening. Was gonna try and find a buyer for my monster collection.
Thank you Caleb for been a awesome and generous person you have come a long way keep up the great work
It is very honorable that you bought that second brawler controller
That is the amazon app you use to search games on ? Just normal amazon ?? Thanks love the videos 😊
Riff with the late burn. *Chef Kiss*
I love the riff cuts. 😂
I always love seeing you buy the handheld consoles there so cool
I owned that same ps4 console limited edition black ops n matching controller I love it mines also has 1tb drive in it its very rare system n it in mine collection n I'm keep it forever I've seen only one on Amazon n it was near 400 just for console n matching controller goes for 100 plus on avg u ever seen it buy it u make money back on it or add it too your collection is must if u love ps4 limited edition console
"Do you mind if i feel it, im kinda curious"
had me dying
Looks fun man, I'd be all over the pinball machines
Love your videos Caleb!
It's really inspiring what you do. Keep at it! Great vid!
Nice video. Watching from Brazil
I get that ppl don't like him bc of reselling, but the editor is just as cringe and annoying with his edits
DUDE, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SCROOGE SHIRT FROM!? I seriously want that!
RGT LOVES THAT BAT
Always wondered about your origin story. I'm aware of phoenix mythology, but always wondered how you came up to use it! Sombre and triumphant story, good for you man, you're an inspiration (:
will you be uploading a video about midwest gaming classic? I saw you there and it was a blast!
Claw machines become an addiction. I have about 100+ figures on 3 different shelves just from the wins I have. I did have one shelf just of doubles but I manage to sell all those and have just a few left now.
What are those mission switch cases? Is it a case for multiple switch games? If so how can I purchase one?
John Riggs like look billy crystal and sounds like David cross. Awesome
i would love to see you try finding stuff to flip here in london 🇬🇧
Hey pheonix me and my friends were the people who asked about the name and just wanted to say hi
Love your videos bro!
