Guy from the start of the video here and in the thumbnail (Dynamo Video Games). The marketing aspect of this deal was so huge for me that within 2 days of the video I doubled my sales from last week due to people coming in and wanting to see what all the fuss was about. Yes, I gave him great prices, but I know what I'm into the items for. I'm making a 25-30% profit on them at minimum, sometimes more, and the cost of marketing 100,000 views on my store is worth WAAAAAY more than a few hundred dollars. It's been a blessing. So when you say he's spiking vendors, understand that he's making us a hysterical amount of money with his channel giving us exposure. Not to mention that weekend he spent over 2000 cash with me and got me in the pizza tent for lunch ;) lol
@@JustDontPls Depends on what you want from it. Personally I love how much of a premium product it feels and I think the form factor is really nice. I paid for one that was already built though since I didn’t want to assemble it myself, which made it quite expensive.
That first booth you went to actually got me my now favorite gamecube game, a special version of Pokemon Colosseum that had both the game and the preorder disc in the same game case! Great booth with wonderful people! Edit: Also wow I was in the video and didn't know! Right near the end in the background with my friends at around 18:45
What blows my mind … is that double sided sign is also something jay from game chasers picked up somewhat recently.. and at RETROPALOOZA!! His convention!!
Had he really wanted that Pika plush he'd take it to the plane I mean damn. One guy I know brought 3 suitcases of games and consoles with him from Japan with a plane.
@@Lugzexplo92 False its very cheap The most I ever paid was $32 going to washington from the East Coast Cut the BS. Pirateship gives you 40-70% off from normal prices.
I watched one of your videos when you were doing the GameCube Gambit and loved it. Subscribed for awhile now through mission switch, began my own N64 hunt myself. I like you more than Retro Rick but editor Riff this comment “ Is for my son!” Cya on the plus side 😉
These prices, holy shit... I started really collecting older stuff 5-10 years ago. I paid 30 bucks for leaf green lol started collecting at the right time
Hey nice video next time bring little plastic bags, so you can put every handheld in a bag. and not all on top of each other, because in a large bag they get a lot of scratches ..... t
Can't wait for him to get the GameCube collection of his dreams for the 19th time then sell them all then get the switch collection of his dreams then......sell them all and do it all again . Cracking content ginger !
Great video as always, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next one. Just out of curiosity when will you upload a video that’s about the game room, the last one that I remember that was about the game room was the CRT tv video.
my local con sent out guests announcements email and had this listed for you "Caleb has been a UA-cam poser for three years and a scumbag reseller for even longer. His hobbies include lowballing children at yard sales, inflating the retro video game market, creating trashy clickbait and pretending to be a real gamer. He often bribes his way onto convention panels and aspires to one day sell a copy of Brain Age for over $1,000." I have never watched your videos so I cannot tell if this was some sort of channel joke or someone on con staff is an ass?
Great video Caleb. I had some hope going into this video with the thumbnail showing switch games for the off chance of you stumbling across My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure the greatest Switch game of all time, however I was once again let down by the lack of purchase. Here's to hoping you'll pick it up in the next mission switch episode!
That’s crazy for those devices you spent $1200 on them I could’ve got that for like maybe $400 at my local flea market but I’m Canadian so prices are a lot different up here
Phoenix long time viewer so I'm going to be in tour next of woods next weekend and was wondering what stores do you recommend for me I'm going to get every single xbox and xbox 360 game that's backwards compitable with my series x and I been on this journey for almost 2 yrs have around 100 games the most elusive game is king kong for the xbox 360. Thanks and maybe I'll see you next week sometime lol
Good video, and great editing by Riff as always lol. Don’t listen to the haters in the comments bro, if you wanna buy and resell stuff, do it. It’s your money my guy, if you wanna buy it and burn it, it’s all up to you. They’re mad they can’t get good deals.
Huge miss when you didn't get the pink 3ds xl/ll and rose pink dsi xl/ll. 😢 Those were worth higher than other colors because of the rarity. It's not rare-rare, but like not as common as the black, blue, red 3ds xl/ll's and dsi xl/ll's
You know what I just realized? If he fills a suitcase to bring stuff back does that mean on his flight to the convention he takes an empty suitcase? I’d feel so silly going through the airport with an empty suitcase but it makes sense 😂
What some people do it the put an actual filled suitcase that they need inside a bigger suitcase so that they can fill the bigger suitcase on the trip and bring it back separately
My dad gives me & my kids $2 bills every birthday. One for every year old. Local bank keeps them in stock just for him lol. I have like 100 of them saved. It's fun to take to fast food and give to high school kids. They always look at them like they are fake money.
If only Goodwills here in South Florida are anywhere near as good as the one where you got Pokemon Stadium 2 is : (, lucky lady is extremely lucky (also nice to see that you're a retro gaming fan).
yeah lol. something off about it. Where are the people he's buying from getting their stuff to be able to cut their profits for his interest. Items marked for 50 and they sell it to him 30 percent off.
I get this is you job but i always have a hard time watching re sellers snatch up everything early morning before the people who actully want to buy to play can get a chance. Like who needs 6 game boys
Mark always has the deals. He’s quickly gaining massive status in the community and such a genuine guy.
Awesome to work with you Caleb! Hope to see you at classic games fest next month!
Genuine guy! 10/10 interaction!
I love watching you clear peoples stock for them, so nice of you.
Hey they get that money and that’s a must haha
Been watching the game chasers for 7 years now love seeing them get some shine. Two great channels!

Not only have I seen a flat GBA SP before, but I actually have one! It's a Boxy Pixel reshell and it feels sublime.
Worth the cost you’d say ?
@@JustDontPls Depends on what you want from it. Personally I love how much of a premium product it feels and I think the form factor is really nice. I paid for one that was already built though since I didn’t want to assemble it myself, which made it quite expensive.
Every time I see a boxed Virtual boy, I get ptsd of my family selling a barely used one complete in box at a garage sale for $20 in like 2002
I sold mine a long time ago too. I never imagined people would pay these prices hahaha
13:00 BOO!
17:50 I like how you just stand there and talk crap about someone's stuff without getting an absolute lashing from the owner.
This why I couldn't find any handhelds in good condition at Retro-Palooza.
That first booth you went to actually got me my now favorite gamecube game, a special version of Pokemon Colosseum that had both the game and the preorder disc in the same game case! Great booth with wonderful people!

Is the same sign, I bought it from him. Lol
@@RARENCLASSIC oh and here I thought someone had come across a double lol didn’t expect jay to let that go
@duellegend71 lol yea he was selling it and I bought it for my store but too heavy
I never understand the limited space theory, you realize you can ship a 16x16x16 box for like $20 using ups pirateship
For someone who sells stuff online you would think he would be more knowledgeable.
Had he really wanted that Pika plush he'd take it to the plane I mean damn. One guy I know brought 3 suitcases of games and consoles with him from Japan with a plane.
Is not 20$ is like 75$ 100$
Costs a lot more than $20 more like 65-80

I once saw a virtual boy up for $120 and didn't pull the trigger. I later found out about it's actual value.
Who would've thought this first deal would probably lead to a very impactful video about owning a video game store
3:01 lady making sure you weren’t stealing 😆
I watched one of your videos when you were doing the GameCube Gambit and loved it. Subscribed for awhile now through mission switch, began my own N64 hunt myself. I like you more than Retro Rick but editor Riff this comment “ Is for my son!” Cya on the plus side 😉
Thanks for featuring us in the video Caleb! Hope you can make it down to the store in Southwest Florida soon!
Holy hell it’s the guy from the video! How’s the virtual boy
@@TheJRPGeek Well it's a Virtual Boy, so it's horrible lol. Works great though and looks incredible in my gameroom.
@@skylerwatkins8562 lol
These prices, holy shit...
I started really collecting older stuff 5-10 years ago. I paid 30 bucks for leaf green lol started collecting at the right time
There was a time when GBA games at flea markets were like $5-$15.
50 bucks for mario kart double dash with the bonus disc is a steal.
Always love the Riff commentary, bringing Caleb back down on his ego a little.
you guys always sound so bitter lol what ego? he’s constantly making fun of himself every video
@@crucifycortez8893 Why do you assume bitterness? And not that it's a joke?
@@The_Nintenjones so are you bitter or joking?
Man if you think $85 for a GBC is a good deal, you should come down to Mexico. You can get a GBC for $40-$50 any day.
Hey nice video next time bring little plastic bags, so you can put every handheld in a bag. and not all on top of each other, because in a large bag they get a lot of scratches ..... t
the pony boy thumbs up killed me
LMAO dude in the spider-man shirt around 13:30.
It’s always really Intresting watching this reselling content! Keep it up!
Caleb. .. that microwave is sick! You should do a cribs tour lmao 🤣
Can't wait for him to get the GameCube collection of his dreams for the 19th time then sell them all then get the switch collection of his dreams then......sell them all and do it all again . Cracking content ginger !
dude DID NOT seem happy with the $2 bills and you calling him a scumbag!
Loved the Owen Wilson “wow”, great timing with that one 😂
contra force has gone up since i got it!! i remember getting it for $80 about 8 years ago!

@@tmor6935 I contacted the convention staff, it looks to be intentional as a joke from the youtuber himself haha. legendary

Yo rick Caleb also missed the double pack of Pokemon Coliseum that came with the Jirachi bonus disc which was from Kmart!

We have the same problem when we go hunting! It’s insane!
Was this in Houston??
how about a small video about how you prepare and wrap all the stuff into your flight?
Nice I made into your video at 18:15
FOLKS FOLKS FOLKS
Glad I'm not the only one that gets annoyed with that lol.
@MutantBrain lol I hear him saying "folks" in my head before I even start the video
@@crimsonshadow7459😂
Prices seem crazy high in America, here in the UK Gameboy colours are like 20
So Factor_ is pretty much refrigerated not frozen tv dinners. Doesnt that scream healthy.
Sorry I traded that dragon quest with the guy at the beginning of your video! He had a Saturn game I wanted lol
Wild life facts @17:20 lmaooooooooooooooo
Love your videos keep up the great work bro😁👍🏼
As I’m sure you know I would start holding on a lot of handles specially 3Ds 2ds and xl models they are only going up right now
I would have put something over the screens to keep them from getting scratched up in that bag.
This reminds if Todd Margaret was a video game reseller
Are you going to tmg? Would love to meet you irl.
Are you going to Illinois game con?
Pleasure doing business with you!
Great pick ups bro ✊😎🔥
Thanks for the awesome vid Caleb
Im curious if Phoenix Resale is going to be at Game On Expo in Phoenix?
is it better that you carry and send to your warehouse so you can have higher volume of item to get?
When I try and visit your eBay store it says you don’t ship in my area! But I live in California aren’t you just over in Arizona?
That flat GBA SP is a Boxy Pixel unhinged shell. They are super premium.
Dude! I LOVE that Star Wars shirt you had on during the Factor ad, where can I find one?
Why does it seem like you don't purchase AGS-101s? I feel like you pass on a lot of clean ones.
Huge miss when you didn't get the pink 3ds xl/ll and rose pink dsi xl/ll. 😢 Those were worth higher than other colors because of the rarity. It's not rare-rare, but like not as common as the black, blue, red 3ds xl/ll's and dsi xl/ll's
What a superb pick ups on the first booth.
Title should be How Many People Can I Ripoff at RetroPaloza?
love that Kentucky bball shirt!! Caleb, was it part of that big bundle of kentucy shirts you bought like over a year ago
what app does he use to check prices? 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video! Will you be at TooMany games?
I love these handheld videos
Never seen such insane expensive stuff.
Is there a website or something i can use to find these kinds of conventions in my area?
Did you see that gameboy backpack, I Want it!

YOU SHOULD'VE BOUGHT THE PIKACHU!!
I didn’t know this was going on in Houston and I live there would of loved to meet Caleb! But all good
I also have a copy of pokemon stadium 2 not for resale. Curious how much he sold it for. I got mine at a goodwill for $1.99 😅
If only Goodwills here in South Florida are anywhere near as good as the one where you got Pokemon Stadium 2 is : (, lucky lady is extremely lucky (also nice to see that you're a retro gaming fan).
Should have bought the electronic pikachu boxed it carefully and shipped it home.
That @thepickinpreacher guy is pretty cool! If I were you, I'd go subscribe to him!
Looking at the title of the video, my first thought is " A lot!"
I'm jealous you get such a deal, thats so awesome!

What model was that flat GBA SP?
so its resellers selling to resellers?
