@@matthewgreene4699 That's called double dipping my guy lol. You're charging like 80 dollars over no manual price AND you want to get a switch for 120 dollars cheaper than it's worth. It's not like he's gonna sell it online and has to eat a 15% fee, which is why resellers have to negotiate down so hard, he's selling at a vendor booth or in a retail setting, what he has is overall overhead.
Love It, Love It, LOVE IT! - Did I mention I love the video, but I love them all. I am addicted. You have been SOOO Inspirational for me to upload on TH-cam and I just want to say, "Thank You!". I am at almost 1,000 Subs. Thanks so much for the Fun Vids!
3:23 Hey, Card N All Gaming! They are my personal go to game shop here in Louisville. In fact, that copy of Zoids: Legends in their case was mine! I had two copies, so that one was used as part of a trade deal.
Crazy how you manage to keep finding these high dollar games that you're looking for each week. I kind of thought you'd have to work some magic to keep up with the gambit as you got closer to the end but nope, nothing slowing you down! Love this series man, and God Bless ya'll =)
That was the worst thing to show after a a advert for your resale seminar 😂 like for real you over payed under sold the switch and never got a deal that was madness
I love how crafty you are getting with trades! It's awesome to see caleb using his own inventory to trade, it shows much he is invested in gamecube games.
I'd love too see you go for the complete N64 collection after this! Most of the games are really common and cheep but finding that clay fighter sculptors cut is going to be your Pokemon box moment.
Been toying with selling ]arts of my collection for a while but didn't wanna lose the value I had in games. I found your series last week and you inspired me to get down my local trade in, make some swaps and store credit. I already shifted about 40% of the unwanted games and consoles I had for Game Cube gems and a few N64 titles as well as trading my 1040 STe for a Sinclair ZX +2 and a fair chunk of in store credit. Loving the series, keep it coming!
I genuinely look forward to this every week and will miss it when you complete the collection, do you think you would ever do the same idea with another console?
Ive never had a slight urge to ever buy a gamecube or play but yet im addicted to this series. Makes me feel some sort of way about nostagic childhood memories
One thing I do love about this series and the concept is that people will want to create their own childhood gaming collections as well! I started collecting gamecube back in like 2018 when pokemon xd was about $50 complete, so it was relatively easy to build my collection, but for future collectors it may be a bit pricier these days, but they can do it!
70% assumed value is wild. I'd call that a gift man. I've never traded under 80%, and I consider that a low-ball. But maybe physical media trading is different from digital. Regardless, congrats on the awesome grab!
I know the series is almost done, but since everything else is based off of expected profit, why not in this case just agree to sell the switch for the $400 and use that "profit" to buy the game? Still loving the series though :)
Had the same thought :) But i think it is about taking the game in this moment with you at home and cancel it from the list. No more searching or „having luck“ to find it anymore.
@@datdrummachine he could still do that though? Every other episode he's doing it with expected profit from things he picked up earlier in the day, not real profit he already made. So I don't see how him looking up the monster hunter switch and saying "this is worth $400, I have $400 to spend" is any different if he's already using stuff from his own collection.
@@esomerrick i may be mistaken but in this situation, I think it was either a trade or buying it from scratch since I doubt sellers are too interested in adding more inventory and not selling anything for it, thus losing money at the end. In this case the trade worked for the seller because he got a Switch for below its price so when he sells it, he gets 30% or more in profit while also moving a high dollar gamecube game that not many would pay that much for it.
@@GeneralFrankenberry can you explain why? Wouldn't it be more exciting to see him spend $400 of expected profit instead of seeing him spend $280 in expected profit? It really didn't add much drama or anything imo.
I still have Lost Kingdom 1 and 2, Gotcha Force and Skies Of Arcadia Legends with me. Just need a Gamecube to play them again and now watching this now i want to buy a Gamecube and plays those games again that i grew up playing with. uff memories
The switch sells far easier than a wavebird or a chibirobo. This guy is nuts for offering $280. Shoulda just sold the Switch for cash and offered like $210 or $220 max which is fair for the game without a manual. I can't believe this dude said the switch price tag was a shocker for people walking by lmao wtf is he talking about. You are at a game convention where flimsy CDs can retail for 200-300+ easy. Gotta be a different breed to be selling at these conventions.
Is there any difference between the Nintendo handhelds from US to the UK? Over in England can pick up second hand DS, DSI, Gameboys for like £20-£30 easily
I can’t believe you didn’t buy that def jam fight for New York that’s a hard title to find I’m scared you won’t find it again at least in that condition but much love to this series I always get excited when a new gambit video shows up in my notifications keep up the good content Caleb! 👍🏻
If I had the money now, I'd definitely travel from Portugal to meet you guys there at flipcon. I bet it will be great! On another note, I hope this series doesn't end. :)
Loving this series so much you should when you complete the collection do a top 5 favorite games and then after start a new series collecting for another console
Tbh you should add the Gameboy player and the Gameboy player accessory to your list. A good copy is hard to find (at least near me) and you can get the full benefit of Pokemon Box.
I absolutely love this whole series of trades and selling and buying but everywhere I look on any buying/selling site is someone that what’s to trade a switch for other games and I hate to say but it’s destroying the value of switches because everyone is trading it. But awsome vid I enjoyed it very much
Your videos are very cool! And your edition skills are lit!🔥🔥🔥 USA is a very nice place to get old and new videogames. Cheers from Brazil!🇧🇷 PS: You look like Justin Timberlake A LOT!
how did the steam boat willie pinball play was it fun i love pinball and didn’t know they had that one tell your video also your videos are so much fun to watch and learn from keep up the good work
At this point I feel like it would be awesome if u just went ahead and did a complete set of all game cube games bc it would make your game cube gambit extra long, and you could sell a complete collection when your done and that would be interesting to see what it goes for. Just my 2 cents HH
At this point im just emotionally invested in this series
Same
I honestly think I am too.
haha same bro
Here I am actually same
Same
This channel always gets me so hyped to play video games! The GameCube Gambit is such a fun series.
He lowball you hard for the switch but what’s important is that you are happy about what you got
No he didn’t because you got to remember that the person he’s selling it to has to make make a profit as well and Caleb being a resaler knows that

would love to see another series like this when you finish the gamecube collection
Collecting every Nintendo 64 game 🤔
@@jaidenmckeown was just thinking that. It would be great.
@@jaidenmckeown that….would be great
To keep the series going. You could replace the players choice with black labels.
I love how you stick to your self rules so well, the spirit of the challenge… I love that, keep the good stuff coming Caleb!
Love seeing you put my local guys in the spot light. Tim always has great deals and inventory. Mastersons the same way. Super genuine people!!
Love my guys at Card In All as well but they seem to tip the market a bit. Haha
you should’ve been able to get chibi robo AND def jam for that switch tbh.
3:23 Hey, Card N All Gaming! They are my personal go to game shop here in Louisville. In fact, that copy of Zoids: Legends in their case was mine! I had two copies, so that one was used as part of a trade deal.
The thing that's funny to me is that the guy he traded for the Chibi Robo was wearing Yoshikage Kira's drip.
Crazy how you manage to keep finding these high dollar games that you're looking for each week. I kind of thought you'd have to work some magic to keep up with the gambit as you got closer to the end but nope, nothing slowing you down! Love this series man, and God Bless ya'll =)
Ok but that guys Killer Queen/Kira Yoshikage suit was on point
If Madden 08 has value, it's probably because of Scott the Woz making a couple videos involving the game.
That was the worst thing to show after a a advert for your resale seminar 😂 like for real you over payed under sold the switch and never got a deal that was madness
Scott the Woz drove up that Madden 08 price.
I love how crafty you are getting with trades! It's awesome to see caleb using his own inventory to trade, it shows much he is invested in gamecube games.
Damn that was rough should’ve kept the switch honestly, I’ve seen some chibi robos go for under 200
Well, his choice lol. I traded my switch for a ps3
@@Eeveethegamer26 hope it had some games
@@niko-dg8cg better games that what the switch has
@@Eeveethegamer26 what games
@@niko-dg8cg infamous, Black ops 2, Dragon ball Raging Blast 2, Gran Turismo. I could go on and on
I'd love too see you go for the complete N64 collection after this! Most of the games are really common and cheep but finding that clay fighter sculptors cut is going to be your Pokemon box moment.
That wavebird would be a neat item to put up on Whatnot, but also a great piece for your personal GameCube collection. Congrats on Chibi-robo 😊

Yeah and considering he was paying full retail price for the chibi robo is crazy
What game shops are giving you 80% trade credit?
@@undamned I said digital. My experience is from digital item trading in videogames. (Not NFTS, just to clarify)
how do you trade digital games??
@@ManectricReturns digital item trading. Eg steam items off market. It's lucrative.
What if once you finish GameCube you move on to the Gameboy gambit and try to track down like 50 or so oh f the coolest cib games. Ik id watch lol
CIB for game boy does get way too expensive. And a bigger issue would be that there's not much games available in most stores, he'd have to buy online
Keep up the great content! You inspired me to hunt for official GameCube controllers and was able to find 4 to use with my switch 👍
Found your channel and started binging your gambit series yesterday! Love the content!

man its been so wonderful to watch you grow so quickly keep up the content much love
selling personal collection items should be 100% profit towards the challenge!!
I plopped $280 for chibi robo CIB about a month ago, glad I finally got it. Charming fun game! Congrats on getting yours !
Phoenix this shit is rlly entertaining maybe when u complete the game cube collection you could collect games for another console
I still have Lost Kingdom 1 and 2, Gotcha Force and Skies Of Arcadia Legends with me. Just need a Gamecube to play them again and now watching this now i want to buy a Gamecube and plays those games again that i grew up playing with. uff memories
7:27 Damn my dude rocking out in that Jojo Part 4 Yoshikage Kira tie 🥶
The drop at 0:33 was a good one
What is that 8-bit song that plays when you add games to the collection? For the longest I thought it was Mega Man. Not knowing is driving me crazy!
You're mad. That vendor is laughing his bollocks off.
Best series on TH-cam
As a huge GameCube fan this is my favourite series.
Bro that Mega Man music hits hard. Love the content, keep it up!

So you arent just using money made during the gamcube gambit? As long as you trade/sell stuff from your other collections?
Thanks for showing Steamboat Willie Pinball on your channel.
At 4:35 I was like oh look that girl has the same ikea bag like you then I realized it was your wife and I'm dumb
3:30 Saw Xenosaga in the PS2 section and suddenly I wasn't quite so interested in the Gamecube stuff
Dude this series i love it
Is there any difference between the Nintendo handhelds from US to the UK? Over in England can pick up second hand DS, DSI, Gameboys for like £20-£30 easily

Best series EVER
I don't know if this has ever been asked before, but how do you carry/mount your camera when walking about? any videos that show your camera setup?
Do we think madden 08 is worth so much cause of Scott?
That’s a solid deal for a wavebird controller with the reciever
Finally came to Louisville! I'd love to see u explore some other cool stores in the area, although Card N All are great people! Love those guys
It's always weird to see that Def Jam Fight for NY, I found a complete NTSC copy in a small town here in South Africa where we use Pal systems
Looking to start a collection from this console generation, (ps2, generation, and xbox). Imo this was the golden Era of games.
2:11 whats that clip from
Thanks to this series, I realised the value of my Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire with the big box in nearly perfect condition :)
I just listed mine on Ebay
Loving this series so much you should when you complete the collection do a top 5 favorite games and then after start a new series collecting for another console
Since this series is doing so well you should just go for the complete gamecube collection..:not just 75 ot them! I would watch all of the videos!
That beautiful wavey wave bird was the best pickup.
Another great video Caleb.
Tbh you should add the Gameboy player and the Gameboy player accessory to your list. A good copy is hard to find (at least near me) and you can get the full benefit of Pokemon Box.
Chibi-Robo! is probably my nostalgia pick for GC. Such a cozy game

Imagine not displaying Pokemon Box on the shelf lol
Why do you not play the games at the end anymore?
Was the NCAA 2K3 Football of any value?
EBay @ $14
Basketball would have been a different story!!
What's the music playing when you put the game in the shelf? Thx
Card n all gaming! I love masons channel!!
After the gambit, you should pick another system to collect for. I have thoroughly enjoyed the GameCube Gambit and I don't want it to end haha
This series is more engaging than euphoria
how did the steam boat willie pinball play was it fun i love pinball and didn’t know they had that one tell your video also your videos are so much fun to watch and learn from keep up the good work
I’m looking to get into this hobby of retro selling where do you find these types of markets and such??
Nice you finally got chibi robo good for you Caleb my man
Help!! Which video has the “if you do, you’re banned” guy???
That booth you got it from Card N all Gaming has a TH-cam channel surprised I recognized it
Gonna have to come up with a new collection to challenge yourself with. Have loved this one and I am not even a gamer!!!
Lol, I'd have offered dude the Switch for both of those games together.

Madden 08 has value? Unexpected scott the woz reference, as well as memes becoming dreams :P
That Yu-Gi-Oh game was one of my favorite as a kid
You could've easily sold the switch and buy another game besides chibi robo.
What happend to the 3 line game review?
I love card n all gaming! Been subbed to them forever so funny you got the chibi from them
Found chibi robo at a thrift store complete for 5 bucks. The best game find I ever had.
You still need gotcha force?
Will Flipcon be streaming even if there is a Pay to watch for those that can't make it
How do you see the prices to find if its worth buying or not?
I wonder if you will do other Nintendo games adventure
Do you have Luigi’s Mansion yet? I can’t see it on the list and I don’t remember you picking it up in any of the episodes??
@phoenix resale how about a ps2 game collection once this is done?
