    I’m still blown away that he traded his whole GameCube collection (which is probably worth at least 600 dollars) for a old out of the box Switch. Not even an OLED switch, not even a V2 switch, the first module ever. Didn’t even get the box. And from the looks of the games you gave him they are kinda low on value. This was an absolute bargain of a deal for Phoenix but for the dude, he just got straight up robbed

    I’ve just started watching this channel, and immediately I will say, I HATE to see you ripping off fans. If you’re getting a good deal at a Walmart they can afford the loss, or find a deal at a thirst store or pawn shop, they are in the business of marking shit up anyways. But the fact that you couldn’t at least do more for the viewer and be honest with the profitability of his stuff is disappointing. Not saying you should have matched him dollar for dollar, but he was super generous and you were not

    For those who didn’t catch it the original title was something like “He Traded his Entire Childhood for MY Switch”. As this series goes on it seems to be less about actually enjoying these games and the fun that comes in hunting them down and more about flexing your business skills.
    And the icing on the fucking cake is that you had the audacity to make up some bullshit about sticking to some random rule you spoke of once and sell off a majority of those games for money. The fact that your first thought was “oh I technically broke one of my own rules. Guess I gotta flip these, tehee” is gross. It’s not about whether or not the deal was fair, it’s that he came off as someone wanting to share something that meant a lot to him.
    And then the actual deal came off as cold and calculating. You didn’t do him any favors just basically gave him extra inventory you probably already got for a discount.

    Instead he gets an out of box v1 switch…. With mediocre games at best. Crazy considering Caleb was showing off a switch box at start of video too. The games he pointed to at start of the video weren’t the ones he gave the man either…. 3 of the games I could make out were: Bendy and the Ink Machine, Hello Neighbor, and Luigis Mansion 3…

    I know some people think we are being "salty" for saying this deal was horrible for the viewer. However, the bottom line is this is one of Caleb's fans and viewers. He totally ripped him off. If this was a pawn shop, yard sale, or flea market it would be easier to take as you have no connection to the person. Yes, everyone knows Caleb is a reseller and likes to double up. This was so much more than a double up and you totally ripped off a fan of the show. Caleb claims he wants to be known as someone who pays up and treats everyone well. He couldn't even give the guy a brand new switch? It had to be a used one? Be a man of your word and make it right with this guy. I remember back when you bought that huge collection of saturn, snes, nes and you told the person if it was more than you realized you'd make it right. Well here is your chance to prove you mean it. I am not saying go dollar for dollar, but you gave this guy about 30% of value when he was doing you a huge favor for your show! You can definitely get up to around 50 or 60% and still do really well for yourself!

    I realize the sports games may not be too exciting, but MVP Baseball 2005 and Tiger Woods 2005 are pretty good. Worth having in a Gamecube collection in my opinion (but you should definitely keep just what you want). I think I have seen you talk about Golf in general, and if I recall correctly that era of Tiger Woods games had more "arcadey" elements, like power shots etc. Almost like Mario Golf but more like a sim. You can kind of understand why those particular sports games were in this really nice Gamecube collection.
