@@steviefreakinc he saw me do it, why get 4 for 20 when you can get 50 for 20 outside… Hey I’m calling it how it is…pickin preacher told me, I wouldn’t be as far as I am and my collection if I wasn’t on UA-cam. I mean the connection and the friendships I understand. My collection would have been fine without UA-camrs etc spilling secrets and putting them on here…yes it has grown but probably would have grew bigger than what it is if people didn’t know everything already. Idk man I was ok with it… if everyone else is doing it why not…might as well join them and make it harder! And he actually has a full time job and it was hard for me to keep up with him…I can’t imagine hanging with Kodi with a k for day.
i'm a college graduate student and i've been collecting and playing retro stuff for well over a decade now. even though i am fine financially, i can't really afford to spend the going rate for what a lot of these games and systems go for nowadays on a college instructor's salary. i've been going to flea markets/garage sales/thrift stores/etc since i was very little, and it's something i love doing to this day. though i like to stay optimistic, people like this make it incredibly and frustratingly difficult to continue this as a hobby. there is no love or enthusiasm for these games with resellers, it's all about what will make them the most profit while screwing over the people who want to play and enjoy them without spending an arm and a leg. i will say that lately i've had a lot of luck with importing things from japan because things there are still relatively cheap, but even those are starting to dry up now because of resellers :/
One way to stop resellers is to clone Steve and put every Clone on every convention, thrift store etc and Clone Steve intervenes and deals with the resellers (the threat) and REAL collectors can rise once again!
Heckin Steve protecting game stop is wild lol F game stop I tried doing what this guy did & purchase someone’s trade in & got kicked out of the store in San Jose I was able to make a great & fair deal for both of us though😊
Not really protecting Gamestop but more like protecting gamers that have to rely on Gamestop for buying games in store. Gamestop could be their only option within a reasonable distance.
I’ve been a pro member since 2011 and never experienced anything negative. Came up on so many rare games at GameStop. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Valkyrie Profile for ps1 to name a few. I don’t blame them for kicking fools out who are trying to make a deal in the store. Wait till you get to the parking lot homie hahaha.
@@steviefreakinc that makes sense it’s just if I go into GameStop & someone is making a trade in I will gladly make a offer on it myself if it’s something I want but I would be fair for both parties unlike GameStop
7:14 I don't know about GameStop in other parts of the world, but in my country, that haul would only go for max $100-120. It still is a shame that the games are not going into the hands of customers, but I think the guy certainly gave the seller more money than GS would ever offer.
I sniped a GameStop trade in once. The guy had a shitty gamecube bundle, a broken ps3, a 360 bundle, a switch bundle, an iPod lol. GameStop offered him $230 and this guy had like 5-6 first party switch titles. The employee went to the back. I offered the guy $300. Done deal. I wouldn’t defend GameStop they fuck you hard. On top of that I can’t count how many times I’ve received fake video games from them in the retro section. I’ll buy multiples just for that reason. Once I purchased 5 copies of demon crest for snes from them. Every single copy some asshole swapped the board for a madden or other sports title. Every single one I returned. The fact that they didn’t test the game to make sure what it was before sending it out or the fact that they did and still sent it out is horrible business practice. I wouldn’t defend them one bit. Fuck GameStop! I hope they go under or change the way they do business.
Funny cause 3 years after this happen I purchased my first storage unit, only bought it cause the photo had a lord of the rings board game(which sadly was empty) and Beatles records, but low and behold the clerk was the guy who I bought the stuff from lol.
That’s why they have a return policy :) but hey I’m not interested in defending GameStop either other than the fact that a lot of gamers have to rely on their stores for games. Some don’t have a choice unless they want to buy online from resellers who charge more
@@steviefreakinc Yea, you would think that with so many gamers having to rely on GameStop that they wouldn’t be utter trash. They actually changed their return policy to charge people $8.99 who can’t make it to a physical store for a game return and $14.99 for a console return. Hey, we’ll send you a pile of fucked up shit and make you pay even more money to return said pile of fucked up shit back to us. So I can see why Amazon prime sales are probably way up and the go for people without a store close by.
You're right, I played Fatal Inertia and it's 🗑. These scummy resellers just wanna shill for it now to sell it for triple or more. There are so many better futuristic racing games out there for different consoles: Any F-Zero, any Wipeout, Any Fast (Racing League, Racing Neo or RMX), any Extreme-G, Scorcher, Quantum Redshift, etc.
Those 4 for (X) deals is what built my ps3 library some years back. Basically got a bunch of games for free while snagging them soon to blow up in price titles after Covid. Shop smart
Yeah that’s a great deal. I did me a 4 for $40 too recently when they ran the deal. Showed em in my last pickups video but you probably already know. You’ve been following the channel for a hot minute now
@@steviefreakincGameStop deals a great way to get started, abuse it enough and the next thing you know there’s hundreds of games sitting around. Once I gathered most of what I wanted, deals kinda sucks for me
Yay I love going into an empty GameStop when they have these deals!! THANKS RESELLERS!!!! 😂 On a side note GameStop had an extra trade in credit deal going so my kids traded in a handful games and were able to get an Xbox series S. They are stoked!!
you might be right though that stuff could have been stolen. My friend's dad had a situation like that. Someone took his games for crack money. With a boxed collection like that why let it go for $400. I saw soul silver and conker
@@steviefreakinc makes sense because why let all that go for that cheap. My other theory is a lot of these videos are fake. It would be real easy just to say they paid something cheap and it’s not true. Would get more views. These guys are always circle jerking each other off when the get “a good deal” it’s really sad they are happy ripping people off
I love your videos of hating on other people! Sharing your thoughts on how to clown a person indirectly. Love the message you share with your audience! Fuck love, spread hate
Man, these people make it hard to give things away. They say things like "im not rich, so your charity is still helping someone. why do you care if i actually keep the item or not, the point is that it went to someone in need...." Dude, im not a government funded charity entity. I remember a time when I couldn't afford nice things, like a solid wood kitchen table, tv stand, non polyester garbage clothes, toys (as a kid), etc. Nowadays, these things (especially quality versions of them) cost so much money, that its hard for even middle class people to afford them. I'm in my 30s now, and am pretty stable. Instead of donating something to goodwill (only for them to sell it for retail price, because of resellers and corporate greed), i wish i could just.... give someone who really needs a TABLE, my fucking table. I dont want to give someone a nice $1500 table for $0, only to have them sell it for $950 on ebay. Sure, they made $950... But a poor family/person without a table, or with a super shitty one, is now priced out of MY donation. This defeats the ENTIRE reason why i want to give my nice things away. My donation is now just another expensive table, meant for someone who can afford a nice table. Meanwhile, the reseller is simply a middle man, and has done absolutely nothing but absorb. These resellers don't need the money simply because they literally dont have furniture, or toys, or the bare minimum. There are PLENTY of non shitass ways to make extra money. They're profiting off charity and generosity, taking it for themselves, and then charging others for the kindness they receive. I do not want to be $ for someone's side hustle. Their profit = a family in need doesn't have a necessity, or only has bottom of the barrel selection left over. They act like there is just this massive influx of donations to the point where things are being thrown away. Sure, maybe with these trash Shein and Temu clothes, but not with quality furniture or collectibles. The spirit of a "good deal" or the kindness of a stranger disappears the second these people show up. But they don't care, everything is about them. "Thats just the way the game is played", they say. Yeah dude.... its played by people like you. The people that generous, charitable people avoid at all costs.
PS thank you for your channel. There aren't enough people willing to give these slugs the shit they deserve. They appear in packs and defend eachother, lol.
Thanks for the long and thoughtful comment bro. I enjoy making these videos because of the support I receive from viewers like yourself! And I agree with you about being able to get your stuff donated to the right place. It’s definitely tough these days since reseller culture is common now. Everyone wants to turn everything they find into gold
Those pinball games are very limited print and are insanely fun, especially the marvel pinball one. The stern pinball on switch is very hard to find and quite expensive because it has all the tables already Nobody likes to shop at scumstop besides resellers. I haven't stepped foot in a lamestop in forever and probably never will again. Im all about my local stores , and i know most of the owners in my area and they always take care of every customer.
@@steviefreakinc possibly. But physical trumps digital. Always will. If they make new consoles digital only, no more new consoles for me. I like to have things to show for my money I've spent. Really sad what this world is turning into
Most stores would stop it. Guess Gamestop is a little more laid back on that policy. We didn't really approve of it when I worked at Gamestop but people had to leave the store to do personal sales.
I think the worst is that scalpers tries to make entertainment out of it by making UA-cam videos. That way they influence people to do the same, no wonder why the game prices are so inflated.
Pretty sure he mentioned in one of his videos that he has a full time job. So I’m assuming he does this as a side hustle. He does have a pretty large collection as well. I don’t it’s a fake collection like phoenix pee sales collection
He does and he’s a cool dude and does collect. He told me that the reason he started doing it was because he didn’t want to pay Phoenix resell, Chase, or retro ricks prices, can’t beat them join them. Make it harder for everyone. This is what happens when an actual collector becomes a reseller.
I’m glad he’s a collector but I don’t see myself going down the reseller path. If it gets to the point where every retro game is too expensive, I’ll just stick with new games. Screw it lol
@@steviefreakinc I ain’t proud, I’m upset…therefore I’m exposing every way possible to get games. Look where they are (area wise) they have access to more stuff then where I’m at. We were the first besides Washington and Oregon to get hit with grandmas now selling video games. It has to stop, and if I have to expose, be dirty, be nice, and snipe, then I’m going all the fuk out!
@@steviefreakinc unfortunately it effected my ways of living and it truly messed up a lot of stuff for me…I’m not the healthiest (I may look like it), I depended on the cheap prices to make ends meet, but it never was like that until I had children.
Nobody is buying his used games for $60 - and even if they did he's gotta give Amazon their hefty cut and deal with the shady buyers who will try to rip him off ("yea, Amazon, the case was just empty - there was no disc in here"). He'll probably still manage to lose money. He's definitely not making money on the ones he paid $10 plus tax for when gamestop couldn't sell them for $17. Especially factoring in he will have to buy some sub-optimal games to get to a multiple of 4.
I think the whole concept of a reseller video is the hypothetical profit most of the time. It makes for a cool video to say I paid this and made this. But a lot of people take it to heart I bet.
@@steviefreakinc Yea it's basically just lying because they know from past experience (and common sense) that they aren't getting what they claimed - but they think that's what everybody wants to see. I'd be much more interested in seeing the fails myself. Bought this for $100 and didn't realize it was missing a part so I only got $15 for it.
This guy has another video on his channel where he got DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for $14. I used to think karma existed but with how these D-Bags rip people off daily yet still keep winning I'm beginning to think it doesn't.
dang I got all the boudakais, infinite world, and all the tenkaichis for 4 bucks a pop at a warehouse fleamarket for 4 a piece! Karma doesnt exist though so I wouldnt worry about it. however reaping what you sow does exist
The whole reselling vs scalping debate is such a non-starter. It's so basic. they're always like "what about a business buying from a supplier and selling to you? they're a reseller, are they scalping?!?!" No, because that business is adding supply to the market at or below RRP. scalpers out there however removing products from the market to reintroduce them at a higher rate. it's simple. "Are you removing product from the market to sell at a higher price?" - if yes, then you're scalping. And as scummy as it can be I'd have no problem with them if they just came out and said it. Hell my local supermarket stopped carrying video games and to clear old stock they were selling them for 40% RRP. I grabbed games i didnt intend on playing at all, i just wanted to trade them into my local game shop for credit towards PS3 stuff, didn't clear the shelves at all, there were still copies of each game on the shelf when i walked out, i'm still a bit of scumbag for doing it though, i'll admit it
Not going to lie, out of all of them the only one I watch is Kody. Videos are incredible and the majority of his finds are just from trading which pretty much any of us could do, not like the above scum bag raiding stores and hassling customers outside a video game store. pretty disgusting.
That’s so bad. Stealing trade ins from GameStop. That’s so wrong… like you said the only reason he got that trade is because GameStop owns that leases that space and brings people in
@@zackhamilton4373 Larger channels do larger damage. That’s why I typically talk about them. But hey, I know it’s not appealing to everyone to make these types of videos but the positive comments and messages I receive for what I’m doing makes it worth it. I make other videos too but most people watch the controversial ones. That’s why you’re here after all.
Overwatch was in a lot. When you get a lot you take everything. You bundle the shitty games or unplayable ones with the system you got in the bundle to make your money back or in his case he doesn’t do system bundles. He gathers all his worthless titles and takes them to a retro ricks store to get trade credit and buy grails with. I’ve been doing it for over two decades…it’s a tactic in the reselling world of video games. He started making videos the same reason I did. It’s one less game that retro Rick, resell, chase, or wright way get.
What area is he visiting these GameStops?! I ain’t gonna lie GameStop be having DS and 3DS GAMES under retail price, I do get games I already have to use towards trade credit at my local game stores!
I love my local GameStop; I'm friends with 2 employees and a manager.. When they get games traded in that they know I might want or like they text or call me.. Shit even my receipts show I receive their employee discount & they would hold items for me too..
Haha those pinball Games are Going for that much because of liscensing issues. Glad I got a bunch of copies sealed and opened FOR MYSELF. To keep and PLAY. Would I pay $60 for a used one, but if sealed yeah. Certainly not GameStop trash.
Not sure what's the point of this video but theres constant trend of hate on all of them lol. Everyone is reselling nowadays anyways .Business is business
@@ShinyNxsh the buyer does not need to buy man lol 😑..... practically every game in existence can me emulated.... weather you want to acknowledged it or not...video games and trading cards are a massive business....it's desired, its collectable, and has a lot of value to many people. It's a two way transaction...not one
@@steviefreakinc yeah i live in a town of 700 people, garage sale days two guys running from sale to sale looking for games, people hid them from them love my community
I got weird vibes watching this dude the first time I saw one of his videos. Now he wants to be like Pheonix. Looks guys, I just made 1,900ish dollars after fees over the next 4 to 6 months of trying to offload all this crap at ridiculous top dollar bullshit prices. Aren't I COOL as shit!? No.
You must have supported all of the hand sanitizer and disinfectant resellers back in 2020 too then. You know, when people were dropping by the busload. That's just capitalism baby!
I prefer to make an honest living that doesn’t rely on the generosity of others and the ignorance and desperation of my buyers.

Is this the evolution of resellers. They hang outside stores to buy trade ins
Most stores would stop it. Guess Gamestop is a little more laid back on that policy. We didn't really approve of it when I worked at Gamestop but people had to leave the store to do personal sales.
"People be shittin' man" Heckin' Steve, 2024
I need to make a shirt
These frauds present their scalping as its a hobby.
They should pick up eating rocks as a hobby
This is phonix resales cousin. 😂😂 Steve always bringing the best of exposing scum resellers.
The C in RJC must stand for Cousin!
I think the worst is that scalpers tries to make entertainment out of it by making UA-cam videos. That way they influence people to do the same, no wonder why the game prices are so inflated.
And people praise them for it. It’s crazy
Don't hate the player. Hate the game
I hate a lot of players and I hate a lot of games lmao
You are a part of the lgptq community
He has a lady 😂
I am not, but I believe in the right to love who you want. As long as it doesn’t harm others
New Heckin Steve it’s definitely a good day
Ayyye I had a couple of good zingers in this one too. Hope you loved it
Pretty sure he mentioned in one of his videos that he has a full time job. So I’m assuming he does this as a side hustle. He does have a pretty large collection as well. I don’t it’s a fake collection like phoenix pee sales collection
He does and he’s a cool dude and does collect. He told me that the reason he started doing it was because he didn’t want to pay Phoenix resell, Chase, or retro ricks prices, can’t beat them join them. Make it harder for everyone.
This is what happens when an actual collector becomes a reseller.
I’m glad he’s a collector but I don’t see myself going down the reseller path. If it gets to the point where every retro game is too expensive, I’ll just stick with new games. Screw it lol
@@steviefreakinc that is my point of my channel Steve.
Fatal inertia is hot with resellers because it's selling for 50 plus rn for whatever reason
Between this and walmart clearance the resellers are going crazy..lol
They can’t get enough lol
I wonder what part of cali he is at?
Inland empire
Couldn't tell ya, for some reason I thought he was in Arizona but I guess the palm trees doesn't line up with that.
I bet that the guy he bought from didn't even make it to GameStop, I'm 100% sure that RJC would tell if that happened to show how good of a guy he is.
Actually, first he hears the offer at GameStop then he counters…
Unfortunately, he learned the E-Z way.
@@E-Z_Gamerz Not really something to be proud of teaching someone bro.
@@steviefreakinc I ain’t proud, I’m upset…therefore I’m exposing every way possible to get games. Look where they are (area wise) they have access to more stuff then where I’m at. We were the first besides Washington and Oregon to get hit with grandmas now selling video games. It has to stop, and if I have to expose, be dirty, be nice, and snipe, then I’m going all the fuk out!
@@steviefreakinc also the best thing is, I’m doing it while actually collecting…it’s like a double wammy…
@@steviefreakinc unfortunately it effected my ways of living and it truly messed up a lot of stuff for me…I’m not the healthiest (I may look like it), I depended on the cheap prices to make ends meet, but it never was like that until I had children.
Nobody is buying his used games for $60 - and even if they did he's gotta give Amazon their hefty cut and deal with the shady buyers who will try to rip him off ("yea, Amazon, the case was just empty - there was no disc in here"). He'll probably still manage to lose money. He's definitely not making money on the ones he paid $10 plus tax for when gamestop couldn't sell them for $17. Especially factoring in he will have to buy some sub-optimal games to get to a multiple of 4.
I think the whole concept of a reseller video is the hypothetical profit most of the time. It makes for a cool video to say I paid this and made this. But a lot of people take it to heart I bet.
@@steviefreakinc Yea it's basically just lying because they know from past experience (and common sense) that they aren't getting what they claimed - but they think that's what everybody wants to see. I'd be much more interested in seeing the fails myself. Bought this for $100 and didn't realize it was missing a part so I only got $15 for it.
I went to a yard sale on last weekend they have 20 game cube games $80 each game and they had a Sign please don't make a Offer.
That’s ruthless
This guy has another video on his channel where he got DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for $14. I used to think karma existed but with how these D-Bags rip people off daily yet still keep winning I'm beginning to think it doesn't.
WOW I can't believe I missed that one. What was the title of the video?
@@steviefreakinc Gamestop is giving away grails in 2024
@@omegashenron8 thanks
dang I got all the boudakais, infinite world, and all the tenkaichis for 4 bucks a pop at a warehouse fleamarket for 4 a piece! Karma doesnt exist though so I wouldnt worry about it. however reaping what you sow does exist
The whole reselling vs scalping debate is such a non-starter. It's so basic. they're always like "what about a business buying from a supplier and selling to you? they're a reseller, are they scalping?!?!" No, because that business is adding supply to the market at or below RRP. scalpers out there however removing products from the market to reintroduce them at a higher rate.
it's simple.
"Are you removing product from the market to sell at a higher price?"
- if yes, then you're scalping. And as scummy as it can be I'd have no problem with them if they just came out and said it. Hell my local supermarket stopped carrying video games and to clear old stock they were selling them for 40% RRP. I grabbed games i didnt intend on playing at all, i just wanted to trade them into my local game shop for credit towards PS3 stuff, didn't clear the shelves at all, there were still copies of each game on the shelf when i walked out, i'm still a bit of scumbag for doing it though, i'll admit it
They really try as hard as they can to convince themselves and others that they’re not scalping but they are.
They're also the ones that drive up perceived scarcity of games with the inflation of prices they create for them.
Not going to lie, out of all of them the only one I watch is Kody. Videos are incredible and the majority of his finds are just from trading which pretty much any of us could do, not like the above scum bag raiding stores and hassling customers outside a video game store. pretty disgusting.
Kodys Content is amazing! my favorite channel by far!
Kody is a good mid for resellers. Good and bad in my opinion. At least the videos are entertaining
He should pay some of Gamestop’s rent if he’s gonna snipe customers from them. Guy has no class.
Lol they would never.
@@steviefreakinc I own a local video game store, and when I catch someone sniping, I ask if they want help pay my rent for the month.
@@gumdroplandfilms Good. I bet you have a 0% success with that offer too
@@steviefreakinc for sure. They usually act confused and then apologize
Bandit Keith is out and about.
lol
@@steviefreakinc wait is RJC name Keith too?!
Last time I was at a Gamestop was for Halo 3 midnight release. And I hope everyone has common sense to NOT go to Amazon for retro games
Throwback!
I just commented on this dudes video the other day. He fakes his videos. No interaction with the seller whatsoever. Dude is a fraud
Wouldn’t surprise me man
That’s so bad. Stealing trade ins from GameStop. That’s so wrong… like you said the only reason he got that trade is because GameStop owns that leases that space and brings people in
Honestly you can better deals from gamestop it's crazy Honestly
Who gives a shit if he is reselling. 🤷🏼♂️. I guess u got me to click on the video tho. Nice work😘
tell me you resell without actually telling me you resell
@@ShinyNxsh most definitely do. But even if I didn’t. I don’t see an issue. I also don’t do this tho.
Poor gamers who want to collect give a shit. I speak out for them. Thats why I make the videos. And because it’s funny to clown em
@@steviefreakinc 🙄 clown on
Dayum I’ve been sleeping on GameStop 😂 last game I got from there was breath of the wild for the Wii U last year.
You can find some decent deals in there. Especially when you have the Pro card. It's a pretty good deal if you buy on the regular.
Yeah, I don’t go enough to validate the Pro option, that’s for sure. I think I only spend maybe $50 a year (if I go lol).
Scummy resellers and youtubers that think it's the wright way really screwed up the 360. Capitalizing on trends like the 3ds.
They wack for creating fomo
😂😂😂😂😂 love your content
Thanks dude
My man respectfully ur channel thrives on click batty content going after more sucessful content creators. Im getting that vegan teacher vibes LMAOOOO
I have more subs than the dude in the video lol
@steviefreakinc It's not this guy I was talking about, this channel thrives on going after other (most of the time) larger creators 😂😭
@steviefreakinc Hey tho respect for posting ur opinion not many people are willing to
@@zackhamilton4373 Larger channels do larger damage. That’s why I typically talk about them. But hey, I know it’s not appealing to everyone to make these types of videos but the positive comments and messages I receive for what I’m doing makes it worth it. I make other videos too but most people watch the controversial ones. That’s why you’re here after all.
I was hoping you'd get to this one lmao
Everyone takes a turn eventually it seems
Omg how dare this guy go into a crap store and buy games that no one gave a crap about 2 years ago. Dirty reseller! Give me back my gran turismo😭
If you don’t already get my point, then you probably never will.
LOl you cant even play Overwatch and this dude bought Overwatch to flip it. Shows you how much he knows about gaming
lol I know!
Overwatch was in a lot.
When you get a lot you take everything. You bundle the shitty games or unplayable ones with the system you got in the bundle to make your money back or in his case he doesn’t do system bundles. He gathers all his worthless titles and takes them to a retro ricks store to get trade credit and buy grails with. I’ve been doing it for over two decades…it’s a tactic in the reselling world of video games.
He started making videos the same reason I did. It’s one less game that retro Rick, resell, chase, or wright way get.
Yeah gamestop is not a thing to protect they only give you like 20% of your game value lmao
Not protecting GameStop.
What area is he visiting these GameStops?! I ain’t gonna lie GameStop be having DS and 3DS GAMES under retail price, I do get games I already have to use towards trade credit at my local game stores!
Not sure, maybe Arizona?
I like my local GameStop/EB GameStop the employees are good people (I’m friends with them)
I like mine too. People hate Gamestop but you can get good deals in there and a lot of the workers are chill.
@@steviefreakinc exactly this, love it when I find deals but I hate losing out on them
I love my local GameStop; I'm friends with 2 employees and a manager.. When they get games traded in that they know I might want or like they text or call me.. Shit even my receipts show I receive their employee discount & they would hold items for me too..
@@slejandroaanchez2071 that’s awesome
@@slejandroaanchez2071 that’s awesome
Haha those pinball
Games are
Going for that much because of liscensing issues. Glad I got a bunch of copies sealed and opened FOR MYSELF. To keep and PLAY. Would I pay $60 for a used one, but if sealed yeah. Certainly not GameStop trash.
This reseller its the type of dude dat would be bullied in school and still try so hard to act cool 🤦♂️
It’s funny because everyone had a guy like that at their school
@@steviefreakinc lol 😂
To be fair he's reselling trash games. He alright 😂
Lol
This is correct. I’ve seen this first hand. As he bought my reselling collection for 800+ and it wasn’t shit I expected.
Who the fuck buys gamez for that price on amazon 😂😂😂 i have bought ps4 games but all ten dollars and under
That’s what I need to know lol
Not sure what's the point of this video but theres constant trend of hate on all of them lol. Everyone is reselling nowadays anyways .Business is business
so ripping people off is fine as long as everyone else is doing it?
@@ShinyNxsh the buyer does not need to buy man lol 😑..... practically every game in existence can me emulated.... weather you want to acknowledged it or not...video games and trading cards are a massive business....it's desired, its collectable, and has a lot of value to many people. It's a two way transaction...not one
Ignorant mindset.
lol the game is still in circulation and game stop gets their money lol what is the issue
The customers that shop at gamestop are the ones missing out. I made that clear in the video.
I seen this guys videos pop up he is annoying
Not a fan myself
5 minutes 🤣🤣 and he’s getting worried about him looking games up Jesus Christ how paranoid and self centred can you be?
Yeah, I mean, people have stuff to do man. Lol you can't assume everyone is just standing idle waiting to serve.
This dude should consider growing a beard to look less like a creep, just saying.
It helps!
I just stick to market place and get good deals, but im not a re seller im a real gamer 😂😂
Yeah it’s still possible to get some good deals out there. But it’s almost always from online
@@steviefreakinc yeah i live in a town of 700 people, garage sale days two guys running from sale to sale looking for games, people hid them from them love my community
Overwatch and destiny are free these days. May as well bought fortnite. It's the same concept.
Yep!
dang
@@thepickinpreacher haha no way
Look at these Nerds...
Gets none
I’m getting some tonight actually. :p
Caleb said you're not a critical thinker in his last video 😄
It's all good. He can feel whatever way he needs to.
I got weird vibes watching this dude the first time I saw one of his videos. Now he wants to be like Pheonix. Looks guys, I just made 1,900ish dollars after fees over the next 4 to 6 months of trying to offload all this crap at ridiculous top dollar bullshit prices. Aren't I COOL as shit!? No.
Definitely not a cool guy.
thats just capitalism baby 🇺🇲
You must have supported all of the hand sanitizer and disinfectant resellers back in 2020 too then. You know, when people were dropping by the busload. That's just capitalism baby!
@@steviefreakinc ohhhh kayyyy lmao thats trauma bud, go to therapy
@@justfor8550 idk sounds like you want to buy my session and resell it to me
@@justfor8550 you are a _____. Apparently I’m not allowed to type it here.
So where's the line when is it OK and when isn't it? Tell me I want to know
First
The guy sending the text probaly his homie for views
No way to know for sure but it makes you think
Lol dude is so slimy
The slime helps his hair stand up
There is nothing good about GameStop, they suck.
Agree to disagree. A lot of communities need to shop there because they don’t have any other option other than online
The subject of this video is an easily unlikable person.
Why the hate on resellers if you can go out there and do the same? Maybe a little bit of exercise would make you good pal!
I prefer to make an honest living that doesn’t rely on the generosity of others and the ignorance and desperation of my buyers. For the latter half of your comment, I would like to personally invite your mother over for some exercise. We can sweat it out together real good. Thanks for stopping by Pal.
because some people have morals and actually want people who want to play the games to get them at an affordable price
