For me i think peoples opinion changed after you sold the GameCube collection… I think everyone felt hoodwinked in a sense as you portrayed it originally as the collection of your dreams… people really bought into the journey and to sell it straight away felt a bit strange…
I was introduced to Phoenix thru the Gamecube series, and I too got really invested into this idea that seemed so strange to me at the time, buying games to create a budget to buy for your collection. As the collection got closer to being complete the more exciting it got to see everything that had to come together to get the last few missing games. And then he sold the collection, and I remember being so surprised like a lot of people because I didn’t expect it. After some time though, it made sense. The point of the series was to finish a collection, and that was what got me to watch. The collection itself contained a lot of nostalgia sure, but ultimately I was watching to see where he would find the games, how much stuff he could find to build his budget, seeing if there was going to be a game that he would have to pass up because of lack of budget. The familiarity of it being Gamecube, games that I grew up with, helped make that connection for me. And now as someone as who collects too, there are only certain collections that I can keep. There’s always something that pops up that I want to go after, and sometimes it means letting go of other collections. Plus, the guy’s a content creator, you have to create content somehow and especially considering that was his first big series that I recall, that was a lot of money that was just going to sit there instead of being put into the business which is also a big part of his channel, or to springboard into a new series. I don’t think the hate has been warranted, but that’s just me. Keep up the content Phoenix, the hate unfortunately won’t be going anywhere.
It still is a good series. Caleb maybe could’ve sold the games he didn’t want anymore to add it back into his budget so he could buy the games he would enjoy, but I don’t have much to say otherwise. Henry made some very good points
Sorry but everyone who was offended by that was being ridiculous. He didn't even sell the entire collection, he sold some of it off in preparation for a move. It's HIS STUFF and he can do what he wants with it. Everyone here has probably sold stuff from their collection even if they at one point intended to keep it.
Honestly I think it’s okay and healthy to do this. For a lot of people collecting is mostly about the thrill of finding and obtaining something hard to find. Like unlocking an achievement. But then it sits on a shelf or in a box and is never touched again. So I think it’s okay to decide you’re not that in love with it and to sell it and use that money for the next thing you move onto collecting.
Yeah it was because he said it was “the GameCube collection of his childhood dreams” at the beginning of each video but really it was just him building inventory. He didn’t actually want Pokemon Box, he wanted it for the thumbnail. Had he been more upfront about how he was buying the games as an exercise and not for himself people wouldn’t have minded as much.
You have a beautiful wife. You do what you love for a living. You own a home. You are young. You are financially secure. You are a man of faith. You made it on RU-vid. You are honest with everyone. As we have said before, nobody who is ever above you will hate on you. The online “hate” is silly. It’s jealousy or someone with nothing going on it their own life. I know you on a actual personal level. You are a good human…in fact one of the better ones I know ❤
You fell right into the trap, Riff. haha I will agree though, I don't think Caleb is a bad guy and I really admire him for doing what he does and Caleb has really had to put himself out there and take many, many chances to get where he has got to in his career as a re-seller. In some ways, I can certainly relate to Caleb because I am a re-seller too, but I am no where near the levels of success this man has reached so I can certainly admire Caleb for the work he has put in as a re-seller. It's not as easy as some people think and it can be very emotionally taxing, if that makes any sense.
I'll never forget when someone called you a vulture. You responded that vultures have the strongest stomach acid in the animal kingdom so thanks for the compliment 😂😂😂
No way, I remember when he replied directly to that 😂 honestly I’m not too hot on his newer direction but I’m still happy to give them a try each time they’re posted. Feel like a lot of us are in the same boat of wanting to see convention and table buys but in the back of our heads we know we won’t get that feeling anymore 😢
At the end of the day scavengers are actually a necessary part of most ecosystems. People think when it comes to hunting using the whole animal is the most ethical way to use the kill and there’s nothing wrong with being efficient when you don’t have a lot of resources but it’s actually better for nature to give Mother Nature her cut of the hunt.
I think you deserve some of your criticisms. To chalk up the majority of the hate you receive to “people disliking you being more successful than them” shows a lack of self-awareness. Yes, some may feel that way, but have you ever asked yourself why so many criticize you? As an early viewer during the pandemic, I noticed behaviors that rubbed people the wrong way. You would go from store to store, scan every item, and only buy 2-3 things. While this may seem small, such behaviors can be off-putting. You’ve been a bit smug when called out for it, though it has improved. I admire your ambition to build a successful business, but when you vlog every step of the way, you leave yourself open for people to pick apart some of your behavior/dealings.
Very on point. The reseller wave of tubers....did need to happen as general dorky guy with his games doesn't stand out after 15 years of utube same stuff, if u ddint get in early it was hard to stand out unless you were uniquly talented like scott woz. Early 2000s collecting was resellers are middle aged guys that look like they own a dirty gas station to now internet savvy 20 somethings are sellers and most are conflicted. But yeah.....the whole wishing I was as successful thing rofl...I have a career and do some cons and ebay on the side. It's a good hustle when you want to take out money, take time off work....lots of collectors work in public service, have completly normal lives with a 401k and health insurance,....I don't want any part of reselling as only income. It's not a dream for most people and most people can tell when someone is being skeevy.....so many times when I saw pheonix resale behavior at cons when he first attended thinking sellers there were idiots and penny pinched....yo cons aren't places to get crazy deals, u have opportunity to make some deals but it's confidence of unique stuff all in one area and love of collecting....trying to resale at a con and then being a rude crybaby was 2 years ago when stopped watching...until this click bait title. This guy always reminded me of the dude in high-school that got his heart stomped by some girl and took years to get over and talked about it all the time while also not being there for his friends when he was with....said girl. Old tubers aren't all great CJR used to be great content then he went off deep end pity party. End of day....this is supposed to be entertainment....and if you start to take advantage of viewers time and energy or money, see you MJR 2018 pay for my roadtrip debakle....your audience will turn on you....and like completionist....where there is smoke....usually fire.
To save you the hundreds if not thousands of hate comments, maybe its the whole thing of the massive price jacking of stuff and only looking at this as a business rather than actual game collecting is why there is a lot of hate. I mean, I've watched this channel for a while and it doesn't seem like its one of those channels that actually enjoys the hunting for games or finding games you actually cherish and want to play/missed out playing when you were younger. It seems more like you are only interested in how much you can buy something for or how much you can get for it rather than the actual enjoyment of gaming. Its like if some celebrity who is known for price gouging their merch heard that game hunting was a popular niche and decided to jump into it and rather than doing it for the love of gaming, its just looked at is as how much you can get for X which doesn't help your case when your videos/shorts are "Can I make a profit hunting at Goodwill or Books a Million or Half Priced Books."
@@HARTYNMUGHES It's one thing if it was the reselling. It's the keeping old common games at high prices that is also disliked. Like why f*cking Heart Gold is 150+ dollars but nothing special is on Heart Gold.
Hoarding and collecting are 2 different things. Also nothing wrong with having a business that involves reselling videogames, now get over it or go to sleep fvkcr.
@@AverageGamerJB its a reselling business, he probably paid $120 for that to sell for $150 big sellers cant always go to their local thrift shop and buy games for cheap its unsustainable if its so easy to find these games then everyone would have it and it wouldnt be $150
@@polaroidd1306 I would understand if these were rare games he's selling that not everyone had access to... like Sculpter's Cut or those Limited Run Games. But his prices are like DKOldies where you're charging 150 for Pokemon Red when a loose copy of Pokemon Red is going for 60 dollars. Sure, the complete price is around 380 but no one is really looking for a complete one except for people like him who are keeping that concept in people's mind.
There is a reason you get more hate than Pixel Game Squad, Retro Rick, or Mort's Garage, i think it's very ignorant for everyone to say the people hating on you dont have any logic and are just jealous because they do have valid points. Some more valid than others but one reason is because you're not really a collector like the other channels I listed, while you do enjoy some videogames and play some, you have to admit you didnt get into it for your love of gaming, it was mainly because of the financial gain. Another is because you sell on amazon and everyone already knows how absolutely ridiculously expensive retro games are on there, it is taking advantage of people that dont know any better, you can be a full time reseller and make good profit without selling on amazon. Another reason is because of your app, I know you denied it but you do have a big influence and are contributing to good condition games and handhelds being taken off ebay and being sold directly to you so you can sell them for way more on Amazon, you doing this and promoting this is making an impact and will inspire other people to sell on amazon too instead of eBay and that takes less stock that is reasonably priced to be available so since there are less on ebay now, prices on there will go up. An example is I was watching Pixel Game Squad's whatnot auction and Riff decided to not sell a copy of wii sports to his fans and instead decided he can sell it to you instead to get more money out of it. That left a bad taste in my mouth. People are sick of prices going up due to the popularity of resellers. I do think these points are exaggerated but there is validity to them. I do think the major reason though is because youre not actually about the games, you're about what the value of the game is.
A lot of it does seem like a "hating the player" instead of "the game" though, and I do watch and enjoy your channel, but I see the valid points of the opposing side too.
Games are not great for flipping compared to most things....so if it was just the money....then he's crazy to stock to games, clothing, art, cards, electronics random stuff from the garage sale flippers that shoe game flipping is like 4% of what they flip and they pick up deals just like everyone. Real m oney is in random books, music etc. My buddy does this full time and sells way more random stuff you don't even look at a garage sale for 1-15 dollars and sells it for 60, 200, 600....like old cupcake papers decorations from the 1940s....way bigger flips put there. 50 cents into 150 bucks happen all the time.
You’re the man truly.I got into reselling on the side because of you I appreciate everything you do. You’re a great dude and you’re doing what’s right for you and your family keep at it. And thanks for all you do.
I love watching your videos, I've learned a lot about perseverance and ambition watching your videos on both channels. It's helped me a lot on my own journey. You're doing great, always looking forward to your videos especially some of the jokes lol :)
Im not even a video gamer anymore and definitely not a reseller in this space. I do tcgs and tbis content is awesome to listen to and the business advice is very helpful. Keep it going bro and ignore the haters. Just remember that those ahead of you will ever waste their time to insult you. It’s the people behind you who have these stupid views
Thank you for this. I've just recently started to receive some hate comments and I hadn't considered many of the points you brought forward in your video. Lots of food for thought, so thank you.
My first time commenting on one of your vids! I just watch for the enjoyment and see your progress but your Renix Pesale vids of 30-40 of uncut convention footage is why I am going to Retro Video Game Convention in June for the first time. Hope you run into you there :)
I've been watching you since the very first video and you were actually the reason I started reslling sports jerseys as a side hustle. I've always loved / have so much respect for how youve handled the adversity throughout each stage in your journey. Keep up the great work man!
I been watching since before the main channel was 1k subscribers, and i been watching riff even before that. anyways the hobby, reselling, etc can already be negative let alone putting yourselves out there like this on youtube, and honestly most people who spam hateful bs is for multiple reasons primarily imo: 1. people are just projecting some personal issues or externalizing their own internal demons because they're shitty 2. nice comments don't really stick with creators or people as much as the negative ones, so many people know this and purposely leave shitty comments to stick out more/troll/be remembered. all this said keep up the good work and from that spare bedroom with the bubble tape on the wall / little miniature shed to spanky, the basement, etc, you've done super well my dude and i'm proud of you, if you ever make it to michigan hit me up and i'll sell you some cool stuff!
Man, I have been watching you since you started the GameCube gambit, and ever since your videos came out I have watched them as soon as possible lol. I love the content and hope for the best for you and your family but also for your business.
Dude we see you doing a good job .its the bad people who just like to talk people down .we have your %100 support.bro .keep doing on what u doing it’s very fun and interesting on doing business.
As I'm sure is the case with many others, watching and learning from you has helped me start my own journey into reselling, and it's something that has been improving my life. Keep doing what you do! Much love and appreciation!
I find these “behind the business” videos interesting and actually helpful in my professional life and I work in an absolutely different industry. Keep it up my man!
my guy I found so many cool places cause of you not even to flip and I like watching to learn as well everyone has an opinion but it'll be all good keep on keeping on man!
He's never replied to any of my comments? I provide constructive feedback, like how he gets early access to the good deals at conventions by using his vendor status, taking away from the legitimate buyers.
You are one of the Best RU-vidrs/Channels. I’ve learned a lot from you. I have been subscribed for a couple years now. Wish I could meet you one day. Keep up the Grind. You’ll hit 1 Million for sure! I always look forward to your videos everyday brother! 💯 You’re an Inspiration!
You started my love for retro gaming and learning to find good deals. Honestly you have made me a smarter buyer and I get why people hate you but generally it tends to be jealousy.
I've watched a lot of your content and in my opinion is your a good and honest person. When I watch your videos the thought that keeps going through my head is "man I wish I could work with Caleb or someone like him"
I realize im probably to late to the party and you wont catch this.....but ive met you in person and been watching your videos for the longest time. You've helped me with my business and as a person who is socially awkward and hates communication lol. Hate will always follow success because of jealousy but truly your generosity and kindness and faith are what shine through man..... You , the pixel game squad and retro rick are amazing people and have earned all the great things that come your way. Thanks for the years if entertainment and advice!!!
Here to add onto the positive comments. I don't know how someone that brings so much insight and shares it within their own work can get so much hate. You've helped me through some brutally tough times and I'll always be grateful for that.
You’re my favorite guy in this space. I watch mainly because I like who you are. Still watching even though I’m uninterested in the business side (and miss the game hunting challenges) solely because you feel like a “virtual” friend.
I recently opened a game store, and among my customers, you're name/channel has come up every now and then. In all honesty, it's never been particularly positive, and the feedback has been that you're not good for the collector community (whether that's actually true or not). Many people also seem to have started disliking you when you sold off the GameCube collection, because it made them feel like you were in it more for the content than the actual hobby itself. Personally, I don't watch the majority of your videos, and I'm not necessarily a fan of the sudden increase of people focusing more on reselling than collecting, but if it wasn't you causing it, it likely would have happened regardless. Anyways, as a store owner, I do appreciate when you show other stores and interview owners. It was also nice to see a fellow owner of an RTI/ECO Disc Resurfacer talk about their machine as well. I don't think you'll ever fully win me over, but unless you do something really stupid, I see no reason why I wouldn't continue to watch some of your future videos.
I follow a lot of this community . As a matter of fact, the entire reason I love the retro space is largely contributed to you Caleb. I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I loved your videos at first. You were the first person I discovered to do such a thing. You were truly making a living off what you loved! I discovered you a little over a year ago now. The best way I can describe your channel is this. I binged all your videos like it was a Netflix series, I WAS HOOKED. But, over that time, I saw the kind of person you were. And since that, I’ve respected you not only as a creator, but a human as well. I don’t know you personally, but I sure as heck don’t need to in order to know you are a good person. When I met you at Retro world expo last year, you were nothing but respectful. (I ran into you when you bought like 13 Pokemon Gameboy colors lol) We even made a deal and you had bought some things from me. I was more than happy to support you and will continue to. Keep being you Caleb, you are a good man.
People hate because they want what you have. Your advice helped me start a side hustle myself and it has worked. You just made it big and have good resources now after a lot of work. I think you should be proud of yourself and I have watched your channel since 2021 and I have never gotten the smug/holier than thou perception of you. You price right and are collaborative and aren't a liar/scammer. I think people really are jealous of someone young and successful and wish they could do what you do and try to make them look bad. I am a fan and keep doing you!
Dont worry about us viewers you love the person you we totally get that dealing with hate takes a toll and would rather you do whatever you need to have a healthier outlook on yourself then be able to get a response from you about everything we write. Also we will still be here doing so because even if you dont see it you still deserve all the praise you get from your fans.
Hey man, I usually don't comment much, but love your honesty and respect your decision. Been a big fan of both channels, and will keep watching. I wish the best for you moving forward and will keep you in my prayers as you navigate this new step! Keep doing what you love.
On the way home from a vacation, my fiancé and I stopped at a local game store to browse their inventory. I got in a conversation with the owner who had attended a variety of conventions, and somehow your name/channel came up. He had met you, as well as a number of other youtubers within the industry. He had mixed opinions on a number of them, some good some bad. But when it came to you, he stressed what a good and honest reseller/person you seemed to be in his eyes. I remember that every time I watch this, or your main channel. Everyone will have an opinion Caleb, but the only one that should truly matter are those of your family, and yourself. Remember, you never know what is going on in a negative persons life, and odds are, if they're being overly negative, it can't be very good. Stay strong.
They hate your success and are envy of it. I just came across your channels via YT recommendations and I have yet to figure out why you're hated. Keep on rollin'!
Great video dude. I'm fairly new to finding your main channel, maybe 2 months ago or so. I really enjoy a lot of your vids and watched a ton of them. I love when you visit stores and talk to people about their business as well. People hate because they see their nostalgic childhood or teenager years in the games you are flipping and they can't believe someone would do that to their beloved hobby .. or something like that. My theory at least. Anyway you seem like a good dude to me man. I'm over 40, I still play games and don't give a shit if people resell or flip games for a profit. Do whatever you want with your life and career! Keep going and fuck the haters. If I could sell a video game and make a profit I'd do it too.
Keep at it mate! As a full time game reseller myself here in Australia, you have some of the best content videos when it comes to reselling, but also are extremely real with your videos, just like this one. This channel and your main channel, when ever I see a video come up on my feed, they are always the main ones I want to watch. Great insight, great content, and regardless if it's about the business side of things or just game selling or game hunting in general, they are all great! I Love the interviews with other sellers/shop owner videos as well! I very rarely comment on youtube videos, but I thought I'd just leave this comment here, if you read it or not, just know you have a HUGE amount of people who respect you and what you are doing and those people are the only ones who matter in the end.🙂
Ich freue mich jedes mal auf deine Videos, weil du mir einen Mehrwert gibst. Du bist einen langen Weg gegangen und hast etwas geschaffen, dass mich sehr beeindruckt und inspiriert. Dafür danke ich dir🙏 Ich hätte auch auf Englisch schreiben können, aber wollte dir zeigen, wie weit dein Impact reicht😁
My fav of the two genres you straddle. You're upfront, self aware, positive and also you pass on your knowledge. You give. You're a giver. You are so driven. Stay proud and thank you 🙌👏💗
Keep the hustle going man if it wasn't for you I would have never thought I could sell on any platform you inspire people you should be proud of yourself love the content on both channels god bless you and your family my friend
I think he used it as a way to announce to his fans that he won’t be reading comments from now on and how to contact him if you need to. Also, he mentioned that he wanted to use this information to help other creators on their journey to growing and the love and hate and how to cope. Not all videos have to be catered to any one person
Thanks for being transparent and open. You are the first RU-vid channel I watched that exposed me to video games and resale - because of you this is my favorite genre to watch. I always look forward to watching your videos and thank you for connecting me to Riff and Rick. Thanks Caleb.
One thing I've always held on to is that when you're doing something right, people are going to have hate towards you. It's only when you stop getting hate that you need to worry about what you're doing. Let the haters hate, but keep doing you! Stay true to who you are and nothing else will ever matter.
I love your content and have been watching you for a long time. I watched all the hater videos and they are just trash. watching you grow your business as I have been growing my own has been a wonderful resource so I wanted to thank you and say keep up the great work you are doing !!! I even started this second channel after being inspired by Renix Pesale. ALL LOVE HERE 🙏
To me you seem like such a genuinely good person. People hate because they're jealous. When you see a mean comment just think about how much value you bring to all of us on our reselling journeys.
People just hate on people getting good deals and you flipping it for more. At the end of the day you gotta make a living to support your family. Keep it up man
I honestly think that the jokes in your videos that paint you as a greedy reseller dont help. I mean I, and other sane people get that they are jokes, but the people that leave hate comments probably dont. I think you’re the only resale channel that is actively mocked on his own videos.
You are my favorite reseller and the reason I got into it. You have helped my family so much and my self esteem has improved all because I found your channel during a low point in my life. So thanks so much from your Kentucky neighbor.
Great to see you have found success reselling. It used to be common sense. Work hard and get the benefits from your hard work. Now we make people feel like criminals for doing so... Crazy.
I gotta say. Once I met you last year and hung out after not in the show setting I saw the things people said about you are wrong. Yes you go out and get your stuff and flip but never anything wrong with the hustle. Very down to earth and loved you were great with advice as well. Do what you gotta with the hate. Sadly it won't go away. When I get hate I take a breath and just say thanks for watching. See you in August.
Been watching your stuff since summer 2020 when I started my game collection journey. I'm gonna miss "Hater Hank", cracked me up every time! But I understand.
You're extremely smart and analytical about this. I think that's how you deal with it - rationalizing it and understanding it as data. This is genius. Every RU-vidr should watch this video.
When I met you at Midwest gaming classic a month ago it almost seemed like you were waiting for a punchline or me to be rude when I honestly love your content and just wanted to let you know. I’m sorry people suck and you have to deal with this crap. I respect the hustle man.
I really hope you will see this. I truly appriciate your openness with the topics you have had with the videos on this channel. The advice you give is very well thought out. I really have liked that you have tried different things too. I thought that even the Reseller Productivity hour was cool idea for you to try out. I hope you don’t lose your willingness to try new things as time goes on. Thank you Caleb!
This guy is banned at our game pro in McAllen TX. Literally says no Phoenix Resale and two other RU-vidrs are banned and can not come in. So glad. And others have also banned him as well.
I just love all the less popular youtubers that hate on you all the time in their vids, then meet you and are all smiles and flowers willing to cut you a deal to get some airtime on your videos
Your Channels, Videos and Personal story are very inspiring! As a Christian Guy from Canada who also resells video games, (now that I have been watching your videos) keep doing what you are doing! You don't know the positive impact you are having on people you haven't even met before! Also when my main hustle (Day Job) I work at a BestBuy, gets rid of our Nintendo Switch Display I'll message you in case you want to somehow pick one up and drive it home all the way from Canada! You might have to add it back to your grail board if you get it for a good enough deal!
Very well said! I can totally relate to every stage that you talked about even though I only have like 1900 subscribers. People would be shocked at some of the hate that I’ve gotten simply for existing. Embracing the hate, definitely doesn’t work from my point of view , though it certainly will bring you more attention from what I’ve seen. You would think someone as small as me would never have people make videos about him. No one prepares you for this . I know we should lead with empathy and understanding and love your enemy, I just wish they wouldn’t make it so difficult. I would definitely get frustrated when people said ignore the haters, that’s always from people Who’ve never gotten any significant amount of hate just for trying to do something, creative and informative. The story about people messaging you that someone’s hating on you has happened to me so many times. I’ve literally had to tell people “ please don’t keep sending me this stuff or I’m going to block you.” that’s literally how much I don’t wanna see it. The people who don’t like me have absolutely nothing to do with me. I am not a trained therapist and I can’t fix these people. I get that a lot of these people just need someone to talk to I get and if it’s about video games, I’m down for that. I also like the part of the video where you talked about how people act like this is the first world problems but the problems are still real, most normal people will never be exposed to this kind of this level of negativity just from casually being on social media. I’ve had peoples hate videos about Me recommended to me by RU-vid, and that really sucks. I’m not sure if you’ll read this, but I hope it finds you well. You’re absolutely right about deleting the RU-vid studio app, I’m always happier when it’s not on my phone.
Hey phoenix, just want to let you know that you inspired me to become an amazon seller. I currently sell books, dvds, cds, and video games. I cant thank you enough for that. Just remember that 99% of people who are trashing you don’t amount to anything. They just want to make themselves somehow feel better. I agree some video games should not be as expensive or hard to access but one, its called emulation, and two its the name of the game. Keep doing you and once again thank you for being an inspiration to be outside the norm.❤
Great video! I feel like if you like video games you cant hate on a person who also likes video games. Regardless of how they feel we all have something in COMMON... WE LIKE VIDEO GAMES! Again great video Renix! Don't worry about the haters! United we stand divided we fall! And everyone is pretty much a collector and reseller cause most have either sold a game online or sold a game at a local store!
Leave it to Caleb to make a chart out of this 😂 love you so much man, I watch all your content no matter what it is, it is great content, unfortunately people hate seeing other people succeed
I've been a fan since your yard sale videos and I just hope you know that you're a great part of my day when you upload. My fiance and I will watch your videos as we eat dinner and just make memories watching your videos, I'm sorry you have so many haters but just know you've got devoted fans 😊
Great video. It was a pleasure meeting you at Game Jam South this past weekend. I truly appreciate this type of content and the information you put out. You are a humble and down to earth person. Keep doing you and we will keep watching. See you at SEGE!
I don’t comment on videos, I don’t even drop a like most the time. But you should know now- this is a very important piece of work you’ve made. You are speaking from your heart, but we are hearing it from your voice. I have watched you for over 3 years- you gave me the motivation to start my own reselling business, and now I don’t need to solely rely on my career. You are an amazing person. I have heard many of the things you have. I have seen whole smear videos on you. I’ve never appreciated them a second because, it’s unjustly and seemingly based on hatred. The people who need to know- know you are a genuine person. I’m very much appreciate of you, and this is a gorgeous video. You’ve vocally reaffirmed many things I’ve discovered at 28. This is your best work man. What an insane display of courage and communication with respect at the highest level. You’re a legend Caleb
I will always defend you, whether it's on my Whatnot streams, in person, or here on RU-vid. I've been watching your channel for years, since the beginning, and you inspired me to start my own resell journey shortly after. I appreciate all the advice you've given, as I've started encountering my own "Hater Hanks" on my small RU-vid channel and during my multiple weekly live streams on Whatnot. You are an inspiration for branching out, taking immense risks, and starting an app. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person this August in CT.
I will say as someone who loves video games and wants to collect the older games I grew up playing, it is annoying sometimes watching someone buy them for cheap and flip them for wayyy more. Simply because I’m the guy paying way more for that item lol but as rational person, you’re doing great at your job! You’re watching the market and doing the best you can. That’s awesome, that’s the beauty of a free market, you can do what you want and make money doing it! Bottom line, congrats on doing good with the resale business and hopefully you succeed even more!!
I enjoy your content and I don't understand the hate tbh, not just your channel but other channels I watch.. there's so many people that think resellers are a problem in the gaming community its strange.. I can't give a thing of what to do as I'm not a youtuber and don't go through it
Caleb you can't worry about the haters at all. Let them hate you. You can't control it no matter how hard you might want to try. I first found you when you went to retro Rick's turn on the house what was that 3 years ago 4 years ago you first showed up in one of his videos. I've been following you since and appreciate all the tips that you have given. So thank you Caleb.
Caleb I want to say I throughly enjoy both your channels and actually sit down with my wife to watch your channels along with retro Rick and Pixel game squad. Yes some of you videos aren’t as good as your game hunts but we enjoy watching and seeing what you find. We are also from Canada
As someone who doesn’t really comment on videos a lot, I do watch yours all the time and I’ve never once seen you do something that even makes me question how you are as a person. With how different the markets are here in the UK, doing what you do isn’t something I really get to do and I am 100% jealous of that. The haters though are jealous of one thing and one thing only, success. The reason I think the % of haters increases is because there’s more and more to be jealous of. You’re doing what you love and making a living of it and entertaining loads. Great video mate and keep up the good work. ❤️
