- Video game hunting adventures in semi-rural Kentucky! Went to a few stores in a small city near me that I'd never been to and had some great success!

I love how you say it’s outrageous pricing when you sell them for just as much.
He sells them for more that’s the best part😂
@@tmer3806 because they can actually get it sold
Everyone wants low prices right
@@tmer3806 I’ve been flipping before any of these dude 20plus years ago…but I never once question prices if they are what they are going for…making videos is speeding up the process of it becoming a dead market. Everyone thinks they can do it now.
Foreal. He’s part of the reason the video game market is so fuct
That 2nd TF store has the worst utilization of space I’ve ever seen.
At least there is room to walk around if it is crowded, but they could have gotten a smaller space
That's exactly what I said as soon as he entered
wont buy a $40 game to sell at $70 with $25 profit after fees. will buy a $5 game to sell for a $2 profit after fees....
That chuckle you gave after the store worker said "and some people pay $60 for it" 🤣
hes like yup i know
I watch your vids because I can no longer game hunt because of vids like this lol Competition is too crazy right now.
Yeah you’re not wrong, kinda bittersweet to be the cause of that tbh
@@PhoenixResale it's reselling in general. It's also bad business practice on behalf of these types of companies. A physical in-store classic/pre-owned game will never sell for as much as the same product online because of the perception of the buyer. The physical stores should be where you can find something at a regular, or bargain, price, instead of the inflated collector's price.
videos like this has been causing my local game stores to increase there prices
Loool
@@Rohgamu it is English
Same, I love this guys videos but it’s impossible to get retro games in my city without spending $100+ per game (examples: Luigi’s mansion at the store near my house is $150.99 PLUS tax, what the fuck is that.
@@aidyn6508 that’s why I stick to pawn shops.
@@aidyn6508 bro you have to hunt to get it at a low price
These kinds of folks are the types that real gamers and collectors despise. These A-hole resellers are what have destroyed video game collecting over the last 15 years. Go to every store, wipe out all decently priced items then resist them at 200 percent the original asking prices.
Oh no someone making money with there passion for video games what ever will we do cmon bro you know someone with this much knowledge has to also be a collecter themselves and even then its exactly what these retail stores do they undercut you on a trade deal and sell it higher then they bought it just business my man i love the idea and as a collector myself i plan to start reselling also which will add to my collection and also add to my bank account
That’s everything right now. Video games, sneakers, clothing, pokemon and sports cards, etc. People gotta find a side hustle nowadays
Scalpers.
I was litterly waiting for a new vid of Phoenix Resale 💪🏼
Same here 😂
Yessirrrr
Oh were you, cool story bro
Thanks DGH! Yeah I’ve been grinding out 3/week for a while now so it’s a good sign people have gotten used to it!
Thursday was the first time in that cycle I’ve missed in a while.
I don't know how I feel about this guy flipping stuff to Amazon. Ehh
I remember seeing a ton of that Skylander stuff for xbox one marked down to a dollar each at Walmart a few years ago.
most of it is still a dollar lol.
there are a handful of rare figures.
some as much as 500.
I was a manager at Walmart like 6 years ago. I had tons of boxes of that crap marked down cause it NEVER sold
If Nintendo launches a retrocompatible handheld this bubble would pop real quick.
We aren't in q video game bubble.. retro games will always cost.more. red blue yellow crystal gold and silver were qll digital on the 3ds and still were going for 100. Hell diamond and pearl remakes jus came out and the OGs are going or 120
@@smhgaming3259 that's not the same as a retrocompatible handheld
@@salarecreativa nor is a retro compatible handheld the same as the individual cartridges. If you create a retro handheld WITHOUT also re-producing the original content those games will further inflate given the increased demand for them
Your channel is cool and I like the concept. It's just less satisfying when I know you're just going to get rid of the games. That's just me tho. I'm a collector. I can't imagine getting rid of my games. Even for a profit.
I understand it's a business. I'm just saying. Really great content tho.
PS I'm new here. I'll probably be binging some of your stuff.
I still have my Muppet Monster Ps1 game. I got it at least 12-14 years ago at an auction with my grandpa. It was bundled with a system amongst other great games too. Made some of the best memories with my grandpa at those auctions every tuesday
I’m starting a drinking game for every time “Folks “ and “Let’s Go!…” is said
I remember buying ATV off-road 2 for £50 when I got my PS2 for the first time way back when 😅
Don’t compare ebay to anyone ebay has scalpers welcome to the home of scalpers there are also normal sellers on ebay that aren’t scalpers their games gets sold very quickly so you never got a chance to see the normal sellers cause the scalpers bought them all out if you see a store that over prices games like Best Buy Walmart target GameStop I’ll love to know who and don’t match price ebay the scalpers want $45.000 for the Mario collection on Nintendo Switch want to pay one of them when you can buy them for $49.99 online ebay isn’t a store your buying from people around the world from their home not a store don’t be surprised this store sold you this game this cheap be thankful their not scalpers
Look for H seams on sealed NES games. Essentially that goes for SNES, Gameboy, etc... Should be a seam all the way across the back connecting the 2 side seams and basically forming the letter H... Hence the term "H Seam". There are some instances where games don't have an H Seam... Some N64 games have overlapping seams.
Asks permission to record game but not the entire shopping trip😭😂🤙
Did you check that vampire game for the second disc? Almost looks like it's in there. Some people don't know about the second layer to the case.
It totally had it!
@@PhoenixResale That's what we like to see!
Some of your pricing is unrealistic. Nasty scalper ☠️
You asked permission to record you playing the game yet you were already recording 😂
yooo this is my hometown store, i frequent these weekly!
Where is this?
@@puffthestuff7445 Elizabethtown, KY
Same.... lol
Kinda salty you didn’t buy that Ocarina of time Gray Cart 🥺 (couldn’t see the price so I’m sure it was probably over priced or at resale value)
I agree it's one of my favorites
You get some nice finds but i still feel that rich predatory people like you are swooping up games and reselling at double the prices that you find them..... it's just wrong for actual people that just wanna find it in stores.
I hate all you resale people ruin gaming for retro gamers
Great haul at the video game stores and congrats on the Imaginators pickup. I thought the lady at the last store was pretty cool and I like her old school Simpsons shirt. Keep up the great work Caleb!
Thanks brother!
Ju-on the grudge was at that first stop couldn't make out the price however
And this is why you don’t buy games from Amazon and you just go to your local game stores and get much better prices and not get scammed. xD
Yeah people who buy on Amazon have more money than sense and are unwilling to hunt and just buy off pure convenience which is the type of people this guy is willing to exploit. It's truly disgusting and why I no longer collect because people like him are pricing normal collectors out of the hobby.
Appreciate you inflating yet another market 🙏🏻
You can easily go to the store like him and buy it for cheap. Some people would rather pay a little extra online for the convenience
@@airsoftchach5980 the physical stores are now inflating their prices as well.
You ruined the hobby and culture of vintage games hunting because of your greed, and money hungry tactics with this UA-cam channel! Prices are outrageous, because of people like you! It's really sickening... We live in such messed up times. What gets me guys is how he plays dumb to people, rips them off, and then re sells. Its GREED!
How can I find that version of the zelda soundtrack
I actually remember picking up skylanders on switch day one and still have my complete copy.
The looseness on the back of Hitman along with the jank to the left and right of the bottom seal make it look like a re-seal. The rippling on the front left looks like someone tried to shrinkwrap it with a heat gun but poorly.
you're 100%correct that looked like a loose wrap.
Idk how people don't tell him to gtfo.. dudes a snake 100%
Great video caleb! I live about half an hour from etown and didn't know about the TF Game store thanks for the tips!
That hitman trilligy is a reseal I own a real scalded coppy the spastic on the outside doest match up for a sealed coppy new sealed un used coppys of it the spastic has a odd coloring not a 100% but around a 98% transparency and look at the back the plastic on you're coppy has the spastic semi loose and the plastic doest line up properly implying the game was lightly used and revealed to try boost prices I've been buying and flipping games for over 20 years at this point and sad to say u gatta be carful at 2nd hand game shops they have a tendency to seal used games and label them new to raise the value gamestop has a similar tactic.
I did NOT think she would sell me this game!.
You walked into a video game store and you tell us I did Not think she would sell me this game!.
It’s a game store.. What results did you expect to get? You know get it. I feel the same way. How dare you sell me clothes, when I’m in a clothing store!!
I'd be curious to see a follow up video that shows what all of these games actually sell for.
This dude literally is taking from other people who Wana play games that he is buying tons of copy’s for to resale them for high prices that he finds
Lol cod for 80 who buys games on Amazon it worst then eBay prices lol
No matter how many of these fucking resellers I tell youtube to not show me they keep popping up.
Dang, I want to go to that first shop all of a sudden. First shop had Dragon Quest 6 and Dragon Quest 9. I need those.
Really? Just shamelessly looking up game prices on your phone in the store? lameeeeee
I love the fact that I can basically just watch your videos and plan out my own game hunting trips now.
Be careful, this guy makes his money from videos mainly. He doesn't need to share all his best secret money maker items. These could just be the best crumbs lying around
@@chrishansen5784 this guy gets it
@@chrishansen5784 not only that, his videos cause the prices to go up in retro games lol.
Stop with the music
So this is why I never find anything good in Game Stores. People like you snatch them all and sale them for more. This is the problem with “collecting” these days.
The reason you never find anything is because not only is the popularity of video game collecting skyrocketing, but you’ve also told yourself there’s nothing out there before you’ve left the room. I find great deals every single day I go looking for them. I’m not special, I just have more work ethic than excuses.
$44 to $70 isn't the margin he's looking for, but he'll buy a game for $15 to sell for $20...
That’s what I was thinking!
Was thinking that too lol
"It's okay I'm a youtuber"
Wooo, Elemental Gearbolt, Ogre Tactics, Agarest War, all these classics.
Speaking Elemental Gearbolt, Working Designs was really ahead of their time. Had they last to PS3 era, they would’ve blossomed.
Thanks for greduo desert remix I loved that
The sealed atv off-road fury 2 game for ps2 is a good find. I remember playing that kid as a game and always enjoyed it. I would love to own that game again, especially the one you found!
Meterse con la mochila puesta al carro... es de psicopatas?
Daxter was such a good psp game fuckkkk the memories 😂😂
Facts
Phoenix can literally get any game in the world
emphasis on "a" world, including all parallel worlds
Just takes money
So can we…check eBay
I know this is a long shot but I’ve been looking for a cope of Need for Speed Underground for GameCube. Do you have one for sale?
Your really far from Phoenix. I’m traveling there next week. What game stores do you recommend?
I need that naruto clash of ninja 3 .... Hmu if anyone is selling
Damn really feel old when he calls atv off road fury 2 vintage lol, what a great game that was
I played that Naruto game a lot vs my sister . We stopped playing it cuz I discovered some broken combos rip
Is your eBay store down?
Yep
Damn elemental gearbolt; I remember that shooting game from when I was younger...should've kept my old games......
diggin the gerudo valley vibe:)
Its an instant nightmare when I see places that put stickers right onto the retro game's label! AAARRRRGGGHHHHH
Hi Caleb, I believe I have a switch variant box that you do not have! I will contact you on Instagram with a picture. I believe it was a Canadian exclusive.
Obscure is one of the rarest game on ps2 and for that price is a excelent deal. I just pay $321 CIB on Ebay auction. 🥴 I can't complain cause disc was with very light scratches you can almost see and looks almost new condition but still hurts my pocket 😅😂
Never played the first. Played and had Aftermath. Dealt it away along time ago. 😭 sad for me.
@@donovanbradford8231 is very hard to have it cause is a super high value game. Maybe if you xbox you can find it for a razonable price, but on Playstation the less is $250 and probably not complete.
@@marangelieroman my god and I thought the classic complete N64 games were expensive. That is crazy. The other game I saw that was I value that I use to have was Coliseum Road to Glory. Fun game dealt it away long ago.
@@donovanbradford8231 all retro games are expensive but I still think that n64, gameboy games are more expensive if you want them CIB unless you look for box and manual repro.
It’s always those Obscure games that go up in price.
In that first store it looks like they're pricing the boxed NES games and loose. And some prices are out of whack, like kickle cubicle for anymore than 30-35. If fire n ice loose is under 100 which it looks to be, that's a underpriced game as well!
loved countdown vampires back when i was a kid.
i loved how it was just like resident evil but with vampires. i also enjoyed the look of the tattoo the guy had.
i was 18 when i got that game. i told myself that i would get his tattoo once i could afford it. 15 years later i had the money.
though i ended up getting mine in red. it was the only ps1 game i had kept. so i could have my artist look in the manual to see the tattoo.
Here i was thinking “why the games look bent” then I realized the fisheye effect from the camera makes it look bent lol
I have a game store like the ones you go to in oregon they also have all systems and games
I found god hand along with 13 great ps2 games all for $50 on a garage sale, seeing this just gives me that familiar feeling of finding an awesome game for a good price
He asked if he could film playing that game even though he was already filming the whole time ? Why even ask at that point lol
After a visit to most dedicated videogames resellers , it usually hurts to sit down for a few days , , ,🍑😋😋
Solid pickups! Its always awesome to find thoes hidden gem spots and pulling profit out of them! Thanks for the video!
Like that you wore the Kentucky shirt you found in a previous ep :)
if you havent already I would like to see a video by you of how you post to eBay and your shipping practices.
@@Jackie_Fhan I sell on eBay already but not too much in the way of video games and wanted to see if there is a preferred way of listing and shipping that video game buyers and collectors expect.
@@Jackie_Fhan right now the majority of my listings are Comics or comic related but am wanting to expand and get my sons involved as they are more into gaming than I am.
the TF games in Elizabethtown is the best TFGAMES out all their 3 locations
Pokemon snap N64 is worth a good chunk from what I've seen..saw one at the store
Not going to lie, but feels like you're pulling numbers out of thin air. There is no way a copy of Black Ops 2 for the Xbox 360 will sell for $80 on eBay. I just checked and nobody is selling it for that much. Not even the factory sealed ones are selling for that much.
Anything you missed...yeah, sod the vampire game. Next to it was a copy of Shadow Hearts Covenant...one of (if not THE BEST) JRPG on PS2!!!!
Who are the idiots that are going to pay $10-$30 over what a game is worth? Most of the games he is showing I found online (eBay, Amazon) for very close price he paid. Are these game stores just shorting themselves? All the local shops around my area sell based on about 10-20% off eBay prices.
But how you’re going to turn around and sell it for a ridiculous price. Hypocrite.
I visited these stores when working at the local hospital setting up their IT network. Fun fun.
Yo just ran across your channel! I'm in louisville ky and we have some shops here you gotta hit too man! I just went to the 2nd TF games locstion u went to and scored breath of the wild for $20 and it was complete. Thought it was dooe o run across your channel and find this video out of no where, and in the video u just so happen to be maybe 20 mins from my house lol. definitely got my sub! Would love to come along and help if u ever needed it in louisville man, hit me up!
Why people pay for older Gen games? Yes Ik about game collecting, by why would people by off Amazon and eBay, if they can be clearly buy for cheap at In store locations?
I can't find myself reselling stuff that are already cheap to reap off people cause that's basicaly what you do, I know that's the way economy works but can't find myself doing that... don't have the heart
Lmaol no one in there right mind is going to pay you 70 for PS2 hitman trilogy wtf. Did a quick search found several for 10-15 used very good.
I found a copy of conkers bad fur day for $20
They go for way more than that.
they connect up to a Xbox or a PlayStation the characters you use as a character life on the PS3 LEGO game with a base plate what you put Scooby doo and Batman LEGO pieces
Game x change is TERRIBLE. We dont have one here anymore since it moved pretty far away but holy shit they were so overpriced it was unreal.
Are you serious?!? I bought a sealed copy of black ops 2 for a dollar at a garage sale and you can get that much for it?!? Bruhh 🤦🏻♂️
i need to know the music in 0:48 ?? can any one help with that ?
13:18 I got Pokémon games that for gameboy games at there only one disc trader here
Everytime I've tried to play those stand alone games at TFgames... theyvalwaysbtske my quarters..
People are asking why retrogaming is getting expensive this guy and people like this guy are the reason why retrogaming is getting expensive they are not buying retro games to collect or even enjoy their buying retro games to make a profit which only artificially inflate the market
Honestly its justcrazy to me people would even pay a inflated price for this stuff? I would buy some of these things but never at that price.
0:40 nice Zelda music here! Shazam did not turn up anything 😢 I know it’s a version of Gerudo Valley.
first store..you should have gotten The Naked Brothers Band Video Game.. its a classic man!!! haha jk!
How do you find these places
Same I got one gaming store where I live but everything is priced right nothing is super cheap and some things are even more expensive then they need to be. I’ve never seen a game for $1.00 that was worth anything.
Sooooooooo don't buy games on amazon?
Exactly! Amazon tends to overprice their games so I wouldn’t buy anything but new games on Amazon. Ebay tends to be better or worse depending on the game.
Why is obscure so expensive over there? Its a 15$ game here lol
