What’s annoying is seeing a game that was once plentiful as a teen. Then you become an adult (not 18/19) and the game is nowhere to be found. So many Dreamcast games that are rarer Ethan hens teeth in my case 😂
Tell me about it I used to trade action figures and comic books for Nintendo games and had almost all of them and a lot of SNES and Genesis games and traded everything for the Nintendo 64 when it released and I go to replace a few of my favorites a decade ago too play with my kids and they were from $40 and up cartridge only I was thinking wth glad stuff like little Samson and The Flintstones didn't mean anything to me costing several hundred dollars these days and I had them before too tmnt tournament fighters was hard enough to find an pay $115 for the nes
ya know, as a hobbiest, I always wondered why I never have fun at these kinds of retro game conventions anymore. Watching Caleb buy out an entire dude's stock of Melee to flip it on Amazon really put things into perspective.
Yep, resellers like Phoenix are the absolute worst. They haggle small business owners and independent sellers just to benefit themselves, and he doesn’t even care about the hobby and nostalgia like others. Retro Rick is amazing tho and I feel like those jokes they make about Phoenix are honestly a joke, but also a real jab nodding towards how he is.
@@ohgryphhow is he the worst i mean i understand that your hobby has been affected by this but at the end of the day this are luxury products that you don’t have to buy. I feel like all this videogames collectors think that its they right to collect cheap? If you don’t want to spend money for Your cool don’t have one and let otherslive their life
@@esskeetitpump4165 He’s certainly not the absolute worst. But I think it’s a huge difference when it appears the individual is purely profit driven without a lot of perceivable nostalgia. For example, I started collecting primarily for Dreamcast in my early 20s because it’s my favorite system, then I have other consoles - I simply want the games from my childhood along with cool titles I either couldn’t afford or didn’t get. When folks are buying up everything, creating tons of demand, it makes it harder for Average Joe’s simply looking to have a small collection of their favorites. It's his business. But I think the hobby suffers when too many are in it PURELY for business sake.
@@esskeetitpump4165 he is definitely not the worst, there are definitely worst collectors out there that people have no clue about, but he’s up there and it’s more of his demeanor and the fact that he haggles so hard on prices that are already at market value or below. I can understand wanting a good deal and negotiating, but most of people are already selling their games at pretty dang good prices that are like I said market value or below because they already want to give good deals and share their love for the hobby, but also like what Dexter said above, imagine you wanting to look for a game you loved in your childhood and you can’t find it simply because of people like Caleb who bought out an entire inventory just to flip for more money and make profit, it’s pretty disrespectful for other collectors and enthusiasts and makes them look bad, he just wants a good deal to flip a product he has no interest or knowledge in to simply make a buck off someone else. It’s more of a disrespect towards other collectors and like I said there’s reason why other TH-camrs like Retro Rick and etc. all make fun of him in a kidding way, but also are serious with the jokes they make. He’s like that one friend in the group you constantly tease and make fun of and they can’t tell whether or not you’re actually kidding or not.
The guy he bought the Smash Bros and Mario Sunshines for I bought some Switch games off of and he was NOT negotiable on day 1. I spent maybe $300 and he knocked off maybe $10 to make it an even $300. Shows that Caleb gets preferential treatment at these events.
Yeah I dislike a lot of these guys for that reason. I'd probably spend more than caleb at a specific booth but because I don't have a camera pointing at them with a large following I get laughed at for suggesting if "going a little down on sticker prices".
Love the early 00's graphic engine aesthetics of some of these games; reminds me of the immortal Arcade places from back in a day. This vid in general makes me miss the quality of tech 'Made in Japan' in 90's n early 00's . I was so close to visiting it at one point. Had xp with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama and movies like 'Akira' and 'Ghost in the Shell'.
I've been binge watching this series the past two days, since that when I discovered this. To think you are potentially a single episode away from the Finale of the series. It's like the ultimate cliffhanger man! I was spoiled not having to wait between episodes XD
@@sevilleweathington6931 I guess they could have wrote him a ticket with name of stall on it and some unique number etc and put it on one side. But as said its still a hindrance as he would have to find time to post it to himself. Besides he might not feel comfortable giving people his address considering that is also his place of business etc. Then again i thought he made an app or something so i guess that is the case. So yes he could have shipped to self but maybe he didn't "trust" people enough to ship it for him and he didn't have time after the convention to ship it before flying home.
I love this channel man I’m so happy for you I stayed up watching majority of mission switch like 2 weeks ago so seeing this made me happy! Keep doing you and don’t let any toxic commenters take away from your happiness & success in this space man! You’re here because you belong here ❤
You inspired me to buy a switch (Pokemon S/V Oled) and start playing a switch again, Whilst I respect sony and I absolutely loved the 360, I forget how much I love nintendo games
I found 4 gamecube games at a pawn shop by my house for $5 each and one was Luigi's Mansion complete with manual and inserts. The walmart by my house also has Cult of the Lamb for the Switch.
😭😭 You should have gotten "A Short Hike" because Stardew Valley is almost always at every GameStop preowned for like $20-$30. The other game is much harder to find 😭😭😭
Is he even trolling lol, Phoenix is like that one guy in the friend group everyone teases and makes fun of, but has no idea if the group is being serious or not, so he has not choice but to just laugh it off 😂
@thecookies6109 not really. The level balance is weird on the orginal. I guess if you really cared for Liliths og design that's only in the base version of smt v but lol it's better to go for the re release.
People give resellers a hard time, and I don't think it's fair to group them all together. Sometimes they are just trying to afford another game. As long as their prices are right, I see nothing wrong with it.
Isaiah 33:1 “Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.”
hey its probably too late now but I own this game / only sold it this year on ebay lol I picked up all the games from super rare up when they first came out and when I learned that they were this rare I sold them off one by one
The dude looked so confused when you said you were saving up for a game, by buying the gameboy lol
Saving up for game by spending money, yeah I'd be confused too if I didn't know who Phoenix was lol

I’m Trying to find Mario and Luigi Partners In time and at least where I am, copies are very scarce and the same price as a switch game
Not 18/19 😂😂😂😂 you must be 20. Aka also just a baby
Oh yeah EVERYBODY knows about “Ethan hens teeth”… all time classic

@@Dr.Dale_DJ.Dragon This reads like a keyword insert prompt
So happy to be able to help you find a switch grail! Thanks for the great trade as well 😊
Good call grabbing every copy of melee. Wouldn’t want someone who’s actually gonna play it to find a copy.

Yeah it’s cuz of the camera honestly. Point a camera at someone and they have to act nice for their reputation.
Yeah I dislike a lot of these guys for that reason. I'd probably spend more than caleb at a specific booth but because I don't have a camera pointing at them with a large following I get laughed at for suggesting if "going a little down on sticker prices".
So glad when we set up at conventions we do deals regardless of if we are on camera or not (never actually done a deal on camera )
Smash bros and Mario games will always sell for market value and rise in prices. You can be mad you didn’t get a good deal on an everyday high seller.
Bruh but he said that's not what happens. So Caleb must surely not be lying to us. 😂😂😂
Hell yeah, your collection is almost complete. I bet you're excited to sell it for a profit not long after.
Can’t wait to see him sell this entire collection….
Its coming

If the audition tape on your channel is real, then you do really look like him.
Imagine being that guy who buys up all the copies of a fan favorite game.....

I enjoy jrpglife im glad to see a video with both of you guys in it
They literally told you they saw it for sale there!!
Nice to see the old happy game search video
Hahahaha! Glad Dan and Elisa took care of you Caleb. Have they told you how they attempted to go to EVERY GameStop in the Phoenix Valley?!
I've actually had and sold 2 of those Pirates of the Caribbean DS Lites over the last few years. Got $400 for a loose and and $600 for a CIB one.
CIB???
That blue shell guy was basically price gouging his customers, I wouldn't give him a dime.
A Short Hike is just wonderful.
cult of the lamb is literally $25-30 new at walmart lol it’s not hard to find at all
I got it on clearance at Walmart for 15 lol
Caleb, you could have shipped that Skylanders box to your house and still made plenty money.
The hasstle of carrying around the weight all day.
@@thecookies6109 they would have held it for him till the end or he could have paid them an extra $10 to ship it to him
Exactly what I was thinking. Ship it to yourself. Still large profit after shipping costs.

Could've just sent it straight to Amazon also. Seems silly to leave that profit behind.

I have this game still sealed and didn't realize that it spiked so much. Glad you finally found it!
Do you plan to sell it or keep it in your collection?
@@ThatDiabeticChemist I plan to keep it in my collection. I also have the game digitally which is why I kept the physical sealed.
Cult of the lamb is in stock at Walmart in Mt. Sterling ky. Brand new for $30
Better to buy from Special Reserved Games print, it has DLC on cartridge
12:02 I was wondering when editor Riff was going to make an appearance
20:20 .. "Feels great to finally knock one off"..😂
I’m happy you got it, but also makes me sad the series is ending really soon😢 live ur content!
Thanks again for making our Day with another great video Caleb!! You truely are the greatest!! 🤩🤩
He has to call it the best convention he's ever been to as it's all his friends that run it...
Only to sell it in a few weeks
06;16 The vendors face LOL
Wow I started watching you add 32,000 subscribers and you’re now 400,000 subscribers congrats man
The music in this episode slapped hard af! Way to go Riff
Damn that Eevee spitting facts.
I don't want the next episode to be the last but I'm so happy his mission is about to be completed!!
These are so entertaining. Thanks, buddy!
caleb went crazy with this one🔥🎮‼️
This is literally the third time hes bought a switch collection,sold them all and started again. So lets not pretend this is a big deal
I was so surprised it took this long to find Stardew, but it was worth it! Great episode.
This was a great episode
You sound like sports card investor.
Let's go Elisa and Dan!
You should have bought my Pirates DS Lite!
Oracle of Seasons is a classic
3:13 Truer words have never been spoken....
you ruin collecting VG for everyone else.
Hey that's my local retro game store that has sheltered generations! The are a bit pricey but do usually have a wide selection
I dont think I've ever seen that many copies of melee in the same room, let alone the same booth!
You inspired me to buy a switch (Pokemon S/V Oled) and start playing a switch again, Whilst I respect sony and I absolutely loved the 360, I forget how much I love nintendo games
Finally back to hunting games…LFG!
Would you ever consider trying to collect every ps2 game? , I'd say that's a great series to make
this guys amazon prices compared to DKoldies is insane and i thought DK was robbing people
People pay his insane prices so is their fault 🤷🏻♂️
Your right but ppl pay for quality games that has been tested and guaranteed not to fail. I would pay more for that premium.
@@SWEATY_SAX then those people can’t complain about his high prices if they willing to pay, common sense.
This looks like fun.
Just looked in our local part exchange store. Sealed copy of Shelter Generations is UK £130. 3 are in stock.
I found 4 gamecube games at a pawn shop by my house for $5 each and one was Luigi's Mansion complete with manual and inserts. The walmart by my house also has Cult of the Lamb for the Switch.
Hang on to your media folks. They might be worth something one day
Shout-out to Sky Guy from the CATRP crew at the 5:26 mark!
I like how that dude had a game in mind to make a trade for. It was a side quest in a video
Why did you take off the Switch retail display off the grail board?
Please start a ps4 collection 🙏 Love the video's of you creating a board with the games you'd like to collect and stripe them of every now and then!!
Seems like GameCube is dropping in price. Am I seeing that right?
What’s the app you use to check the resale prices on games ? love the videos !
I believe it’s the Amazon Seller App but it’s locked behind a subscription/paywall I think.
9:27 I found that sealed in the wild. Stupid money for 2 stickers!
😭😭 You should have gotten "A Short Hike" because Stardew Valley is almost always at every GameStop preowned for like $20-$30. The other game is much harder to find 😭😭😭
14:55 is a game for xbox original called Spikeout. Extremely rare. Thankfully I own it already own it 100% COMPLETE IN BOX
Congrats you deserved it man
Amazing video dude. Keep up the good work.
I bought a copy when SuoerRare released it, then sold it for like 300 later 🤷🏻♂️ no regrets
love the videos mate really cant wait for everything you out out❤
“You’re the worst thing about TH-cam” lol gotta love the Riff trolls
Is he even trolling lol, Phoenix is like that one guy in the friend group everyone teases and makes fun of, but has no idea if the group is being serious or not, so he has not choice but to just laugh it off 😂
@@ohgryph Totally agree, at this points hes kinda just being an ass. Personally for me, it ruins the video. Its just so juvenile.
Would love to see a Nintendo ds series of this
Love these kinds of videos
That intro slapppppps!
agree hard on the intro
Shelter Generations 2 would be a banger, if they cleaned up the rough edges
Skylanders for Switch is a wild one to get as well!
I actually have Owlboy complete in box only played a couple times. Didn't realize it was that difficult to find.
I actually ended up picking that Celeste switch game with a burnout both sealed for 100
Yo my man. Much love brother ❤
If you don't find Shin Megami Tensei V or Nocturne, I recommend getting Legend of Heroes Trails From Zero instead!
I recommend any legend of heroes games, but they did re-release shin megami tensei v
Regarding Shin Megami Tensei V is there any point in buying the orginal now? considering vengance is supposedly better?.
@thecookies6109 not really. The level balance is weird on the orginal. I guess if you really cared for Liliths og design that's only in the base version of smt v but lol it's better to go for the re release.
Trails from Zero is so good. One of the best JRPGs ever.
18:28 base on their reaction they probably found it earlier and think the condition is shit but acted like they didnt know
Sometimes it is all about the hunt.
He’s gonna drag this series another 2 years isnt he 😂
I know former employees of blue shell and they either skimp them on their checks or just don’t pay them at all
Btw pegi version are definitely different price from ESRB
So how come you didn’t find a few more games to sell and go back for ‘A Short Hike’? Was his asking price too high?
I have five copies of this game all sealed
Im loving the dewalt t shirt ❤😂
Oh no it's coming to an end.
Get those games Caleb
Those Smash bros games had some display boxes not original . That doesn’t impact the value ?
I have Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. 😊
I was highkey hoping you listened to the Devil on your shoulder.
Probably spent more years searching for the perfect flood shorts
The end is near.
Would've went with A Short Hike over Stardew personally. But Congrats
Why didn't you just ask what booth Oracle was in considering she said she seen two of them already.
