They main reason I love Caleb! The dude is stupid honest, and straight forward on what he is doing to make a honest living for him, and his family. He loves making money, and helping the small businesses make money with him. P.S. buying low, and selling high. Well that is business 101. Every thing you buy in your daily lives is from someone else that bought the item at a lower price then you, and reselling it to you for a higher prices. It's called profit. ( the two biggest company's doing this would be Amazon, and Walmart ) Caleb is just a small pea in a very big can of peas.( get it pea has in Pesale )😁🤑
Hello,I come from Italy and I collect videogames from 4 years right now,I can say the market here in europe and Italy especially it’s very different from the USA but there is something in common,The buy low,sell fast it’s a very good way to collect videogames without spending money from your pocket.Especially when u buy lot of games at low price,u can keep what u want in the collection and sell whatever u doesn’t,make little money aside and continue to but other lot to build up some money to buy more games.😂
Longtime watcher/first time commenter. My favorite video. Sale/sell, calling out collectors’ questionable understanding of macroeconomic drivers, it was like AI took all my “you know what grinds my gears?” topics and made them into a Renix Pesale video. Doing God’s work here, Caleb. Addressing the whole “only the poors should be allowed to buy things in Goodwill” vibe would have been the coup de grace. A+ would watch again
I really liked this vid a lot, love me some fired up and raw Caleb. I was thinking how hard it must be to constantly see negative stuff written about you and your business, which you’re clearly so passionate about. I don’t care how lucky or successful or privileged someone is, having to filter through awful opinions etc about oneself must be a killer. All the love and respect to you guys, please keep doing what you’re doing. The videos are always entertaining and I look forward new ones, even if they may seem routine in their content/format. Cheers!
Caleb and Spanky have been a pleasure to work with, always responding emails asap. Great people and will continue to support with selling/watching every video.
Those who choose to sell for a bit higher (me included) are not able to get inventory fast enough to keep selling under market. So for us to get maximum profit of what we get our hands on we sell abit higher. They may sell slower, but eventually they always get sold. Also you are basically doing this with Amazon.
3:40 Depending on the price I might buy a single copy off that stack 10:48 $6k for that 🤯 I'm afraid to ask how much a single disc version is... 12:44 lockable glass display cases with alarms 27:43 Metroid Prime is on Switch so GC version is...
When it comes down to it, you're doing something right! Whether people agree with your sales tactics and your game acquisitions and purchases, it's on them. You have a model that works for you, in your region, in your household. I promise you that if I was brave enough to fork out enough capital and time to be as successful, I would! So would the hater Hanks! May God bless you and your family and business.
OOF I love the nice sass. As a small business owner, it’s hard sometimes to kindly tell people that they’re actually incorrect. You do it with grace and kindness and I admire that!
Don’t know how I am just finding this channel now but I love it! Getting to see the behind the scenes and more chill and real version of yourself is amazing! Keep up the amazing content on all your channels!
Loved the economics rant with the coughing lmao that gave me professor vibes. I try to explain this to people all the time. Resellers dont just make up prices, we work our butts off to perform a constant balancing act of trying to buy low and maximize profits but move inventory quickly but also build relationships by not buying so low at times.
Hey Caleb, just a heads up about the new disc cleaner: try putting a rubber mat below it or an extra towel of some kind. I’ve worked with those in the past and they can leak from the water tray at the bottom. Just thought a heads up might up some staining or damage to your carpet! Granted I’m watching this video a month later ;) and only just got to the point of you flexing with the new machine so maybe you changed up it’s location. Thanks for all the helpful content!
I am a long time collector and you would think I would be all hater hank. But I cannot get enough of your videos. From someone who runs pretty large businesses you have keyed in on some strategies we use in large companies all the time. I am just glad to see someone doing it in the field of video games. I don't have the time to do what you do but will live through your videos and enjoy the show. Keep it up. I love to see other people become successful.
I am genuinely interested in what steps you have taken to prepare for your future once you are ready to retire or move on into a different business adventure. How much of your focus is spent on the now vs the future?
I'm a big fan , you worked super hard ,are passionate about what you do ,you are your own boss,you work in your conditions ,your own time , and are not working in a company you don't want too be in ,I'm happy for your success and really thankful for the information you are giving us with this video .The thing is I guarantee some of this information your giving us on this video you actually had too learn on your own,also you gave me an idea if I get a return from Amazon for now on, i will have too video record me opening the package 📦 Everytime, because even though you let it go 300 bucks is what some people make in 40 hours of hard labor work,sorry that happened too you.
Love your videos and hustle. You’re on another level with your business and many of us look up to you. In response to your statement about buying low and selling quickly, I do want to say that I’m someone that isn’t always needing a quick sale because inventory acquisition isn’t nearly as easy for me. I live in a medium sized college town and there are many resellers here. I have to snipe marketplace deals. So I try to squeeze as much as I can out of eBay sales, knowing that even if I sell quickly, that doesn’t mean I’ll always have inventory waiting to be processed right after it. If you have thoughts in response I’d love to hear them! Thanks again for great content and helpful advice.
yo man, love your videos. these like unscripted and more ranty videos are some of my favorite. I’ve been playing/buying games my whole life and just recently started reselling and you’ve been a huge inspiration to me. It sucks you have to deal with so much hate for what you do. P.S. lookin like a straight up hunk in this one 😮💨
Something else i do like about his channel's is his ability to read negative comments about his channel and not get red about it. You can tell he's got a good bussiness brain!
Does Caleb still not know the easier way in my opinion to check if the gba games are legit are from the back side with the metal squares?? I dont think I've ever seen him check it that way
People stop don’t hating his hustle. He has to do all the work to find all the deals, if it was so easy everyone would be doing it as a job full time. He runs a business. He isn’t buying stuff for his Pc. I hate people who say your ripping them off blah blah. Look if two parties agree on the price then there’s no wrong doing. Before you sell something always do your homework. And you don’t know peoples situation they give him good deals most of the time because they don’t want to sell all the stuff themselves individually. Keep it up man! Love your videos and if people think they are boring then why watch and leave a comment just watch something else it’s UA-cam u can find something.
I've been buying loads of ps4. They will be collector items soon. I might get mine graded too. Always go by average price in the last 60 days, not a snapshot.
TV experts, sign off. 55" Sony A95K - $2000CAD 48" LG C3 - $1500CAD 55" Samsung S90C - $1800CAD What's the best option for a bedroom/office TV? I mainly use it for gaming and watching movies/TV shows.
It's always OK to make mistake calleb just remember evey mistake is a chance to learn more for next time. Hope you still had a got month of making money even after that.
I get existential about whether reselling in a buy low, sell high format is morally correct at all. I buy low and sell high occasionally, but I always think about how I'm taking an affordable game off the shelf for someone who may not be able to afford it otherwise. I'm not condeming the practice, but would love to hear other peoples' takes on it. Personally, I'm having a harder and harder time justifying it morally
just to preface, im a bit stupid maybe. I always knew and understood supply and demand, but it required a bit of thunkin and thinkin in my brain to calculate. until your explanation made it fully click, i get it all now. there's a difference between knowing/understanding and REALIZING. its been fully realized now, idk how but you made it click. I love you man. (Also why are all the wisest people named Caleb?)
Sounds like you need an integration. I'm helping a local game store do this exact thing with their Shopify store and pull price from price charting and update prices accordingly and set alerts and limits.
If the games that are found by resellers for a good deal were found by the people that actually want to keep it, the price wouldn't be so high online. The sellers don't drive prices because they price them to market value, they drive the prices because there is no supply for good prices in the wild for non-resellers since those deals are taken away by resellers. 🤷🏽♂️
So you have to wonder why non-resellers don’t find the deals resellers find. There’s a premium found in the work needed to find those deals, and resellers take that premium. If margins were too low for resellers then no one would want to do the work, and if demand is still high, it would push prices back up to where margins are enough to bring back resellers doing the work. Resellers are often times just glorified delivery drivers. They pick up games that are offline and put them online for the convenience of people who want it delivered to their door.
If you pinpoint me down right now and ask... Yes, I would say that it should be forbidden that vendors can do business inside the building before the door open. It is indeed unfair and vendors brag about the sale when the door opens. I was at one fair which was even my first one and this really happend. I was quite disappointed as I could see what e.g. console CIB was sold. Would have been one I also wanted to have a shot at. So yes, it is unfair. Do the business then somewhere else and not at a fair! Keep it to yourself and dont tell. It makes people upset and they are right. They come to a fair to have a fair chance as well as anyobdy else and not to be there and all the good stuff is gone!!! Yes, those vendors said it in front of them all - HAHAHA, Yeah, THE GOOD STUFF IS GONE NOW ANYWAYS... this, when just the door got open.
It honestly irritated me that you didn't upload that one day because I was looking forward to it going up. I watch your videos to help keep me sane and you not uploading that day just mad me feel sad. But I do understand you are a busy guy these days so I just stay patient and wait for when you do upload.🙏🏽
I gauge how old Caleb's videos are by his hair.

You send out your carts for battery changes? Very easy to do and could help your margins.
Love the hustle. Dude grinds hard still.
Seeing this side of the business is great! Really relatable!
Thank you for sharing your hardships ive learnd alot. And motavates me to keep going with my business
“I’m gonna work myself into a heart attack so I think my point’s been made” 😂 glad I made it to the end for that tidbit 😂
I was not expecting a nice econ lesson for free when I awoke this Saturday morning
Caleb love all ur videos don’t feel burnt out just keep going and do things u LOVE!
Great insight Caleb. Thank you
I am genuinely interested in what steps you have taken to prepare for your future once you are ready to retire or move on into a different business adventure. How much of your focus is spent on the now vs the future?
Why do you send out cartridges for battery changes? It's pretty simple process. Seems like easy way to up the margins.
While i do not agree with vendors being able to buy things BEFORE the general public i do respect you and your content. Keep up the great work!
Dude its wild that I was actually laughing for like half this video haha. Caleb cracks me up dude
I like when u get called a scumbag and it just doesn’t bother you at all. Your a good man and my family will prey for yours. No worries buddy peace!

That disc you showed us around 1030 mark is screwed ! Just a fyi . No amount of resurfacing can fix that…
Where is second am I watching Caleb or the Brawny man 😂
The more I watch your videos the more I don’t get why some people criticize you. You seem like a really good guy.
Loved this video!! Ive learned a lot from you and my business has done better as a result. Really appreciate you!

Guys? Newbie here. If I want to resell video games, how do I know what people want to buy?😢
Have you considered working with a data analyst to build models that set your buy list prices on a month to month basis?
Pretty sure a lot of that historical data can be scraped off amazon to understand the most responsible price to set it at on a large scale
I love Your Video Phoenix 🎉❤
How do you get to the buy list? I typed in the website it all came up with the store to buy stuff.
I've been buying loads of ps4. They will be collector items soon. I might get mine graded too. Always go by average price in the last 60 days, not a snapshot.
Where do I request the buy list?
reselling is how it is man, that make us all scumbags. The job is to pick up items for cheap and make money. You're doing fine brother.
