I buy a lot of stuff from GameStop. Like, A LOT of stuff. One of the perks of that is getting a lot of rewards points. Like, A LOT of rewards points. This video is about taking those points and flipping what I get from GameStop to purchase an item I've been dreaming about for some time: the Dragon Quest Edition Switch.

That bidding last minute is the best strategy ebay wise. I learnt it the hard way once on a case xx. Now I bid the last 10 seconds every auction! 🤷🏻‍♂️ another reason is I often bid on things and change my mind after winning so doing it last minute is the best way to make myself follow thru lol

Awesome pickup man! I used to own mint cib copies of Snatcher, Popuful Mail, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth, Keio Flying Squadron, Crusader of Centy, Chrono Trigger, and more rpgs for snes, saturn, Genesis, cib collections of 3do and 32x, etc ... But sold everything 😭 Now my grail is a sealed Zelda Wii U console. Not quite as good, but still happy with it.

@Airdog_ 2 года назад

Cool video, Caleb! I completely agree with you about buying something that makes you happy! I just recently spent $800 on a pair of shoes, something I always said I wouldn't do, but they were a grail of mine and a shoe that I've wanted for years! Nothing wrong with spending money on something materialistic every now and then.

Recently started watching your videos and I've been inspired to do some resale of my own. I've been in and out of game exchange about as much as the employees have and I happened across the metroid prime trilogy in the most mint condition possible the day it hit the shelf. Not nearly the most valuable game in the Nintendo collection but by far the most beautiful. Good stuff here man.

@sethtanner1 3 года назад

8 hours on the phone and you ended up doing what I said to do anyway. :) glad it worked out in the end. They gotta fix that online coupon stuff. Super frustrating

I used to work at a travel agency where you could only use 200 dollars in value when exchaging promotional points and only on each purchase, so most likely game stop has a similar limitation.

I had a ylod ps3 sitting about so took the flap of it and put it on that 1. Sold yhe console for £100 a couple days later and traded the games in for £5. So £65 profit. Will put that towards my xbox mini fridge. Paid £20 deposit already so only got to put £5 to it now
