I liked when you took a breath. I can tell you’re growing as a person and business owner Caleb. 😊 Also, really enjoyed your last video on your main page, could really tell you were having a good time. 🙂 Breath is super important. Deliberate deep breaths. When we are stressed we tend to take short, shallow breaths. 🙏
I'm going to make a really weird comment here. I have watched Caleb and his interactions with people throughout his short career. So often, Caleb is made jokes of by his friends in the industry; such as PixelP, Retro Rick, etc. And YES, I know, they're good friends and they like to poke fun out of love. I get all that. What I find interesting though, is that Caleb is a RARE form of being a business man at heart, and having a deep, deep level of understanding what it takes at such a young age and low amount of experience. His traits scream for long term success. And as much as it's easy to say "Well dude it aint that serious, they just love jabbing at him", I actually think deep down it comes from a place of jealousy. Not jealousy of money per se, but jealous of what he is becoming in a niche little world of people who often barely make ends meet. Gamers aren't notorious for being wildly successful, despite the many exceptions that exist. Caleb is a diamond in a rough full of people more driven by nostalgia and child-like energy, who is becoming a professional before our eyes, that will one day probably be able to own 100 Pokemon Boxes as a coffee table in his dining room. And I think his friends sense that. I commend Caleb greatly ultimately. I resect him at a high level for what he has accomplished. But I do think the dynamics of what is going on around him in these videos is interesting as well.
I don't understand why Caleb gets so much hate. He has a UA-cam channel, reputation that makes him accountable for his actions, he also shows us how to make money like he does. I appreciate what knowledge you share with us. There is no excuse for people to not learn from your longevity and knowledge you share.
Hmmm, let's see, not really a gamer, he's a scalper, hoarder and unlikeable in general. Oh and any criticism comes from a dark place in life/HATE, it's never valid.
Great stuff here man. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch your journey. Keep up the relentless commitment to excellence in business, it is fun to watch
If it wasnt for you and your videos i would've never got back into collecting video games you made it fun again for me personally i collect ps1 games and when you released your video for your ps1 game hunt i was ecstatic! I hope you continue to make videos and do what you love i hope it never becomes stale for you man much ❤
I use 4L milk jugs for my Eco Autosmart. The only bad part is occasionally I don't notice in time and the waste jug overflows a bit onto the floor. I've also put Animal Crossing GameCube in the machine upside down and removed the label.
Great advice for any type of business or venture that you want to grow. It was a great reminder for myself and I am doing completely different stuff. Thanks for the video!
Going to the post office, every day to post games must get very tiring, You obvious don't value you're time. Enjoy it while it lasts because next gen games are going all digital.
If the games keep falling off the shelf, get a skinny piece of wood and wood glue it to the edge of each shelf to create more bottom surface for the game cases.
Caleb it was nice to meet you, even if it was briefly, at Really Rad Weekend. I am appreciative of this channel and the information/mentoring you're providing. I am not necessarily a "reseller" in the way that you and others are, but I have a lot in my collection that I downsizing. I guess I'm Resell Adjacent? Maybe? I know your area of expertise is in the Amazon space, but I'm curious what you do for margins or markup? For example I had my first vending experience on small business Saturday and I brought out a few NES, PSP, PS1, etc. games to sell. I've gotten my enjoyment and moneys worth out of those games and wanted to be fair on the pricing. Looking at Price Charting I can see the highs and lows, but they don't factor in condition, and I would typically go towards a lower middle on the price. Is that a fair place to start? Or and I doing myself a disservice? Just so you know this is all hobby and I am not reliant on the dollars coming in to support me or my family, but I would like to get a decent price on things. Sorry for this being a massive multi-question comment. I really enjoy your content and information. Hope you're having a wonderful Holiday Season.
I love selling stuff fast, so if it’s pristine I usually start at PriceCharting value, if it’s iffy I’ll do like 10% under. But if you do closer to right at market value you can leave yourself more room to negotiate, so either way!
@@renixpesale Most of the stuff I’m selling is CIB from my childhood. My parents were those that took the boxes etc. away and I just had the cart. But I get what you’re saying. Thank you for your insights. Happy Holidays 🎄🎅🏼💛
Probably could of made the backs of the shelves a tad higher to stop the games from being pushed from the front and falling off the back. Look great otherwise!
Remix spent all that time at the beginning of the video moving that shelf only to put it in front of a door so he’s going to have to move it again. Also, Editor Riff would have had an amazing time with that inch too short comment.
Do stupid shit get stupid problems. Resurfacing machine should have its own table & an enclosure for the drain. A pro would never have that resurfacing unit where you have it.
I’ve been reselling for 5 years as well, and here are a few things I’ve learned: 1. Start slow to allow yourself to learn the business and market. You don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of garbage that takes up space. 2. Figure out your inventory system from day 1. 3. Reselling is incredibly cash-intensive. Be prepared for that and manage your bankroll accordingly 4. Don’t rely on one platform too much. 5. Spend money on decent bags, boxes, mailers, labels and label printer if you can’t get some of them for free at whoever you use for shipping. 6. Focus on sell-through rate. Don’t get attached to items and prices. Set expected profit margins and stick to them as best you can, but know when it’s time to cut your loss or break even and reinvest your money
Resellers are quitting. Good. Awesome. PCs are getting better. People are rom-ing. Next hobby you infiltrate to resell? Actually work with the hobbyists, because they aren't stupid. That's why resell generally can't last. Hobbyists will just go without rather than pay shitty prices from someone who doesn't care about the hobby. This ESPECIALLY applies to games. Especially as emulation improves. So yeah man. Everything don't gotta sell for crazy. P.S.: And if you knew what I know. One of them games that fell in the bucket is worth something to actual gamers. The rest is shovelware though. I won't tell you though. Maybe whip out a gamecube and find out for once in your life.
0:21. never once did we think you are an idiot. if anything you are playing down how crazy smart you are. it is incredibly clear you have a formal education and great work ethic.
seriously. your channel was incredible to watch during the pandemic and beyond. as a viewer it has been rewarding to see how far your business has come. keep it going. hard work pays off.
People like you ruin the gaming community. Unfortunately, resellers are making it harder for gamers to get games for affordable prices. It's a shame that you accuse the gaming community of "gatekeeping," when you gatekeep yourself as a reseller.
“I realized I am no longer an amateur”

Love these videos!

Props to Caleb, always innovating. Amazed he was able to corner the religious gamer market so fast with his “Baptized Disc” category. 🙏

That might be the nicest thing someone has ever commented 🥲
@@renixpesale And you don't deserve it in the least bit
is there a reason you don't have some sort of cover on the bucket, with a hole for the tube of the resurfacer?
Yeah those lids are like $3

@@randomrandomness8743 No, but I can be your daddy?
You may want to get a cover for the resurfacer bucket.
Great stuff here man. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch your journey. Keep up the relentless commitment to excellence in business, it is fun to watch
Grab a lid for the bucket, cut hole for hoses.
Kitchen cabinets from ikea with drawers was a game changer for me to organizing and storing items
If it wasnt for you and your videos i would've never got back into collecting video games you made it fun again for me personally i collect ps1 games and when you released your video for your ps1 game hunt i was ecstatic! I hope you continue to make videos and do what you love i hope it never becomes stale for you man much ❤
More shelves, I love it. Such a great way to add more space for shelved items!
I use 4L milk jugs for my Eco Autosmart. The only bad part is occasionally I don't notice in time and the waste jug overflows a bit onto the floor. I've also put Animal Crossing GameCube in the machine upside down and removed the label.

should put a lid over the bucket with a hole to feed the hoses through so nothing falls in

Hi phoenix I am a huge fan I have started my own channel Retro Head recently and you inspired me to do it!
You're worth the full watch, buddy. EVEN if it's the 2nd crappy channel.
We've got your back! 👍

These videos are some of my fav. Longtime renix pesale viewer and I don't even resale lol im a truck driver
Great video! :) thinking ahead is a great way to keep up.
4:30 And the Oscar goes to Caleb for that epic performance of the GameCube games falling in that bucket!
Those shelves are CLEAN
I see a lid for bucket with a small hole in your future. Nice video
If you put the cartridge games in bags, why don't you hang them on a peg board instead of spread out on shelves?
I agree completely. Change is constant and necessary. Great video!
Make the same shelf for where you hold those gba games. When you expand, you’ll need it.
5:16 Mr Stark I don’t feel so good
Keep up the great work just picked up the super Mario 3dallstars new for 90 bucks getting it graded
Caleb have you thought about opening a game store? I feel that you would shine as a store owner as well
Haha thanks, too hard though
Pesale been watching the Sopranos, like the mafia killing video games, swimming with the fishes 😂
Resurfacing juice bucket babahahahaha. And there were games that had fell in. Bruh i lost it.
Subbed. This content is perfect (I'm a sports card reseller).
Appreciate it!
I'll take the Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents to be honest. I love both of those games
Mega man in bucket of water hurt to see 🥲🥲
got a link for the big black stands with the yellow sides ?
Can we get to see your parents tag team together against Spencer and your sister that what be a great show to watch
Get a lid for the bucket, drill a hole through it, and run the tube through the hole.
I want the next youtube short to be just the breathing portion of this video... XD
Moment of silence for the gamecube games. May we thank them for their service.
Are these shelves custom made? They look really great.
Nothing but the best customer carpentry here at Renix. Cost was under $300
@@renixpesale they are very nice
@@renixpesale Great job!
I would cut a hole in a bucket lid for the cable to go through. That way nothing can fall in the bucket of goo.
I might suggest moving the bucket of liquid away from the shelves :)
Did you put a lid on that bucket of water?
Probably could of made the backs of the shelves a tad higher to stop the games from being pushed from the front and falling off the back. Look great otherwise!
Maybe they finally realized that reselling isn't a real job
Remix spent all that time at the beginning of the video moving that shelf only to put it in front of a door so he’s going to have to move it again. Also, Editor Riff would have had an amazing time with that inch too short comment.
04:58 Damn. We always Learn :D
Do stupid shit get stupid problems. Resurfacing machine should have its own table & an enclosure for the drain. A pro would never have that resurfacing unit where you have it.
My question to you is. How many hours a week do you work just on the re sale business?
Most re sellers fail. The channels are for entertainment
LOVE THIS

its the curse of buying that game to start with you banned
Another day at the business
Jon Taffer would berate you for having an open juice bucket sitting on the floor.

Why is he pushing the shelve when its like 3 lbs?
Then he carried the two heavier wooden shelves
Yo meat canyon video has you in it
