Deep Dive into a $25,000 Video Game Collection 

“Is this a bad time to ask for a raise?” That killed me😂😂

Editor riff is a legend. Dudes editing is so good - he doesn’t over do it and is so clever.

The disc repair/cleaner is a definite good investment, time is money, and it’ll save you a lot of time and headaches

Best video to date. Had a little of everything. Riff, a montage to your channel's history, Spanky, doggo, and a great tutorial on reselling. Cannot ask for much more as a viewer.

So about maybe a week ago, I got tested for Covid and sadly tested positive. So, during my time in quarantine I had discovered this channel. Just wanted to say thank you for keeping me amused and enjoying the videos of your various bargain hunts while in quarantine. Made my time all the better

There is no better way to pass the time then with your videos! Thanks so much for posting! Yes, I am a Reseller and (small time) RU-vidr and always love the content you bring. Fun Video - Good stuff🤩 Thanks for sharing!

best of luck with your decisions for the future, Caleb! looking forward to following along, as always :)

I love the reflection you were doing in this video. what I can say is the best videos I love to watch is when you are out hunting for games and taking us along so please dont stop doing those videos.

If you invest in a resurfacer get the Venmill Hybrid V2, it’s what I use at my Game X Change. Works really well!

Editor rift saying "is now a bad time to ask for a raise?" Killed me lol.

Dude! You need a whole video of reseller knowledge challenges. It was cool to watch him try to pick the correct game.

Just discovered this channel a week or so ago and have been binging the hell out of it. Awesome vidoes!

You should look into the Eco Smart option (not the auto smart) - they have refurbished ones at $2,500. I've talked with the folks at Elm and they usually have some of them available, just not on their website.

I would consider running a "Warehouse" instead of a video game store. You can keep the the hours super short or do appointment only. Warehouses also tend to have lower overhead than retail storefronts.

Don't just jump into a store then. Maybe do a flee market booth, since you already know which flea markets are good. That will give you a idea of what will fly off the shelves. Then after doing that or having spankie do it then you can go from there.

if you opened a game store you could hire the "if you do you're banned" kid lol

In Phoenix's mind right now: Disc Resurfacer, Opening video game store, Disc Resurfacer, Opening a video game store. Choices man, choices.

What I love about your channel ❤️ is that you are constantly making crazy amazing content

As someone who just beat Dragon Quest VII, I agree. It's a good one to look out for and play through.

Long video, but a good one! Nice $8-10k profit. Also, you mentioned the idea of opening a video game store. Could you do something like that on a smaller scale like the shed in the middle of nowhere video game store? Maybe that would need to wait till your new home, but maybe you could find a spot like that. Just and idea. Also, maybe just work out of a rented office space. We have a place near me where they do mini storage as well as shipping, and shared and/or private office space all in one spot for pretty good prices. Maybe look into something like that.

Living the dream man. I'd love to do stuff like this lol. I wouldn't know what to do with myself with all those handhelds 😂

The Random Scott pop up was funny af nice cross over lol

Hey man, I have a question for you. Do you limit yourself to certain hours of the day doing this? Because it seems like you could literally spend all night and day hunting for deals and setting up shop. Just wondered if burn out is a thing for you.

4:31 ah yes, gex, what got me into this channel in the first place

Caleb get a refurbished eco auto smart! It’s half the price and works just as well!! Make the jump it’s the best decision you’ll ever make

Love these videos. Keep it up!

So do you ever plan on getting a proper office/warehouse. Just curious because surely that's the next step in expanding the business and allowing you more spare to sort stuff.

You are not boring ! Your awesome 😎

Caleb I think your idea with your own video game store is very cool I think you could make really interesting new videos about that if you would have a new big project like that going !

So glad we got a long video

Loving all the videos takes me back to my childhood. Editor Riff deserves a raise BTW. Keep up the good work.

Love the quick shot a retro rick hahhah!

Congrats on the purchase. Your channel continues to inspire me to get into reselling. I’ve been slow starting it over the past month or so while I continue to educate myself on the business aspect and logistics of it. Keep up the great work!

That "is now a bad time to ask for a raise?" got me good. Good enough to subscribe. Well done.

I recommend the ven mill resurfacers as well - have an older model and still does a great job.

I´m genuinely surprised you still haven´t upgraded your disc resurfacer considering the volume you have been buying for a while now. JFJ Easy Pro is a terrible machine when you have huge volume of games due to the manual labour. Eco Pro 2 is also a decent machine for $1,500 if Eco AutoSmart price is too steep :)

Hearing Spanky's quest music always hits the spot 💖

Been watching for some time and it's been amazing seeing you go from strength to strength, slowly bringing in new people who compliment the business really well. Can't offer any advice on future plans, but i do know you'll make the right decision! As the business grows, find other people who will help and spend your time doing what you love, both in the business and out of it.

Hey man I really love the videos and been binge watching for a while my only gripe I guess is the music in the background, at times it can be distracting with certain tracks and volumes but still doesn’t take away from the great content keep it up.

BRO Lunar Knights was one of my fave ds games, one of the few that stayed in my collection. makes me want to go ds game hunting again

Not the chipotle 🤣

I'm sure you know but to check gba games you can look at the pins and see if there is a Nintendo logo on the inside

I love ❤️ the fact that riff is the voice of your 🐕 dog. It's hilarious

Please get the disc resurfacer would be cool to see you cleaning discs you’re keeping in your collection or selling on

Riff is the only one who can make sorting through bags of games fun to watch.

just at the start of this video i see a lot of good games sitting in some of those bins lets pray they are complete because unless its cart based that always bugs me for my collection is having a game thats missing something or opening a case only to learn its a different game entirely

Not sure if this is doable or already been done, but it would be interesting to see a weekly selling recap video. Things you sold, how long it took, etc.

congrats on the purchase! Also, It should not be understated how much entertainment value Riff's editing adds, great work!

Editer Riff is the best, is it a bad time to ask for a raise 😆 🤣 😂

Could look at houses on outskirts with a bit more land and build a pole barn and run your office out of it or something similar. Get it out of the house but doesn’t push you into a store.

The cut in of riff, so good, love it!!!!

At 13:35, he is in Frontline Games in Clarksville TN. My hometown. That’s crazy!

that video now just unlocked memories. I had one

Why would anyone say things,about how much you pay people for games? If someone sells their games to a reseller,the standard pay out is 40 percent of value. It's not a rip off,it's business. The person doesn't have to sell to a reseller. Like Caleb says,he assumes all the risk,fees and returns. I find Caleb to be a fair,and honest business man.!😃

24:40 You might wanna double check the Dreamcast game here. PAL cases open 2 ways and have 2 disc slots.

22:26 I felt that, I have a complete copy that doesn't work because of scratches

The video now got updated and was a solid portable video system

Truly astonishing how much work goes into this job

Riff literally makes me LOL 😂

I hope you find the wisdom you are looking for in your next steps. Thanks for taking the time to point me towards a copy of Paper Mario Thousand Year Door at Game Jam South!

Seeing that videonow gave me so much childhood nostalgia

Also give your video editor that raise, he cracks me up.

subscribed! very transparent. I love it!

Editor Riff..... never change haha

I think it’s worth noting that your home office can work in your favor as a tax break I believe depending from state to state

hahahahaha Riff at the end!!1 Great video Caleb!!

Your chipotle problem killed me 😂🤣🤣

Hiring Riff was the best decision. I love it when he roasts you.

truth be told i found your channel because of retro rick ! throw some respect on it 🤣🤣

24:00 LOL i used to have a videonow as a kid, thats so funny. That was before smart phones existed

A great perk for Riff would be to plug his channel in the description or something. Found his channel through this video and love the content

I think it would be a cool idea that if Caleb is able to finish this game cube collection that he treats himself to that resurfacer

8:39 lmfao !!!!! got em!

Your videos are so enjoyable

The real life mr krabs

0:40 I was so confused on who Spencer was, then I saw Spanky and just assumed you misspoke.

14:04 That is going to be the most expensive store of all time lmao

love this channel. im not overly into video games but i love flipping things from pretty much anwhere you can find. I more enjoy you going to different places such as flea markets and pawn shops. my small hometown is pretty limited.

That’s crazy how the reseller market went up it’s just like shoes but only good thing you don’t have to deal with Bots lol

I died on the retro Rick part 😂

Caleb loves games and money Riff For Editor Of The Year

Finally a long video ! 10 minutes just isnt enough

i need a montage of every time you've said the word eclectic

How did you get ungated in Video Games? I can sell xbox but cant sell nintendo, playstation etc.

If you get the cleaning disc you can also rent it out to other collectors or whatever

I had a video now when I was a kid crazy nostalgia!

Fossil fighter went hardd

Phoenix Resale Game Store, that sounds good

You could always set up a business website where you wouldn't need a physical storefront and wouldn't need the overhead of another full time employee until it gets more volume.

Love the content! Thank you again or another entertaining and knowledgeable video!

The man above is gonna steer you right brother. You already know that.

Lmfao dying laughing at the retro Rick comment you savage 😝

Wouldn't mind more chill behind the scenes type videos. Nice.

I have one of those machines. I bought it for $2500 used. I waited until I found a trustworthy seller and it was 100% worth it

Idk I feel like 25,000 was too much for them haha

I’ve been watching your videos to learn and I’d like to use flipping to pay for my wedding

that videonow brings back memories. i still have mine and i have that same fairly odd parents disk!

At a pawn shop I found El Chavo Kart Xbox 360 for $10. Sold it fast on Ebay for $100. Great bolo!!

the edits are hilarious . keep it up

,,This is the only one that is missing the game which is nice‘‘
