I’m still blown away that he traded his whole GameCube collection (which is probably worth at least 600 dollars) for a old out of the box Switch. Not even an OLED switch, not even a V2 switch, the first module ever. Didn’t even get the box. And from the looks of the games you gave him they are kinda low on value. This was an absolute bargain of a deal for Phoenix but for the dude, he just got straight up robbed
For those who didn’t catch it the original title was something like “He Traded his Entire Childhood for MY Switch”. As this series goes on it seems to be less about actually enjoying these games and the fun that comes in hunting them down and more about flexing your business skills. And the icing on the fucking cake is that you had the audacity to make up some bullshit about sticking to some random rule you spoke of once and sell off a majority of those games for money. The fact that your first thought was “oh I technically broke one of my own rules. Guess I gotta flip these, tehee” is gross. It’s not about whether or not the deal was fair, it’s that he came off as someone wanting to share something that meant a lot to him. And then the actual deal came off as cold and calculating. You didn’t do him any favors just basically gave him extra inventory you probably already got for a discount.
I’ve just started watching this channel, and immediately I will say, I HATE to see you ripping off fans. If you’re getting a good deal at a Walmart they can afford the loss, or find a deal at a thirst store or pawn shop, they are in the business of marking shit up anyways. But the fact that you couldn’t at least do more for the viewer and be honest with the profitability of his stuff is disappointing. Not saying you should have matched him dollar for dollar, but he was super generous and you were not
@@YourMakingMeNervous 1-2 out of every 100 people is one. Maybe narcissistic personality disorder. Clear lack of empathy and he completely abused this poor viewer without a second thought. Just an observation. I’m no psychologist, so feel free to slam me.

My wife's cousin was at a thrift store years ago and sees a guy walking in with a gamecube box and a big plastic bag with about 25 games. He asked if he's donating that and said I'll give you $25. The guy just says you can have it and gives it to him. 15 years later and he gives it to me for Christmas. Best gift ever
Yo, was this in Canada, because I did the exact same thing outside a thrift store. Two kids were skateboarding outside and I gave them GameCube, GBA, probably 30 games, pretty good deal.
Bro this guy got scammed so hard. He didn't even get the oled model. This guy could have easily gone to a retro game store or even sold them online and made more than enough for a switch. Rip to people that don't know they're sitting on gold
That poor man absolutely got ripped off I cant tell if he is just extremely uninformed of his collection’s value or just did not care. He could have just sold the zelda games alone on ebay and bought an oled switch brand new from a walmart. Instead he gets an out of box v1 switch…. With mediocre games at best. Crazy considering Caleb was showing off a switch box at start of video too. The games he pointed to at start of the video weren’t the ones he gave the man either…. 3 of the games I could make out were: Bendy and the Ink Machine, Hello Neighbor, and Luigis Mansion 3… Even a gamestop would have gave this man a better deal
It’s wild watching you fleece this man with a used switch in a bag, you clearly could’ve gave him a CIB console with ease on your end. Also I hope you at least took him out for a meal or something afterwards. He clearly went out of his way to help you as a fan of the channel.
An old model switch without a box? You have like 5 different special edition’s switch that you want to get rid off, with everything he was giving you, you could’ve gave him a better one
Totally respectable opinion but that viewer has the option to refuse any offer given although yes could be more honest.... if every reseller was totally 1000% honest on every profit they wouldn't have a business as everyone would just sell individually .... they both got what they wanted if the customer walks away.... that's on them... not the reseller I don't doubt if the customer wanted a little extra Phoenix wouldn't have seen an issue ... but I do respect your opinion as I feel more people gotta know their items worth
@@HyperDriive People walk away happy until they see the video and realize the money they lost with the trade. But yeah I'd do the same thing if I could, if some one was willing to trade me that for my switch.

I wish I had a collection like yours man I have 3 games myself and I doubt I’ll ever get double digits, he definitely scammed that guy hard, it kinda hurts to watch
Highway robbery, he gave him 5 games and a switch then took his lot that’s really bad I couldn’t imagine doing all of that for a console you could buy at Walmart and keep your stuff.
I thought the same thing at first. But the games that are worth anything probly amount to like 350-400 bucks + the other 35 games that are all 5 dollar titles (165 bucks) and the 100 dollar gamecube all amount to about 660 bucks.

I do have to ask if your doing a trade and show a boxed switch why did the guy get a brown bag with a loose console? I’m a avid in box collector and I think I would for all those games which clearly you knew could double your value and he threw in extras not get the box copy? Just asking

I generally like your videos but you kinda shafted the viewer with this trade. Gave him a used gen 1 switch in a paper bag.. You got away with borderline robbery there
I understand that he kinda scammed but the guy was willing to do it and seemed happy after it he also wasn’t playing on the GameCube anymore so I would really say he scammed the guy
Damn you ripped him off. Some old dumb switch not even an oled for a collection worth way over $1000 what an idiot I’d have given him one of my ps5’s and my old switch for that collection
@@techfan1017 i mean caleb clearly didn't care either. He literally gave him a brown trash bag instead of the switch box. Plus he gave him the old launch model of the switch which is like 100$ now
Are you sure this guy is a viewer of your channel? I mean, I get when people trade their collection for a newer system. I understand they may not want to take the time to sell on ebay or whatever and just get what they want straight up. But, my guy over here just slinging gems like the Zelda titles and Twin Snakes alone for an out of box Switch and some shovelware is bananaland. This just boggles my mind. Even Grandma Agnes knows that she can get hundreds for those three Zelda titles on Facebook Marketplace.
That guy gave up two zeldas that cost more than 100 dollars. You can buy a new switch with three games from the collection that he traded. That viewer is the worst resale guy I've ever seen. 😑
I know some people think we are being "salty" for saying this deal was horrible for the viewer. However, the bottom line is this is one of Caleb's fans and viewers. He totally ripped him off. If this was a pawn shop, yard sale, or flea market it would be easier to take as you have no connection to the person. Yes, everyone knows Caleb is a reseller and likes to double up. This was so much more than a double up and you totally ripped off a fan of the show. Caleb claims he wants to be known as someone who pays up and treats everyone well. He couldn't even give the guy a brand new switch? It had to be a used one? Be a man of your word and make it right with this guy. I remember back when you bought that huge collection of saturn, snes, nes and you told the person if it was more than you realized you'd make it right. Well here is your chance to prove you mean it. I am not saying go dollar for dollar, but you gave this guy about 30% of value when he was doing you a huge favor for your show! You can definitely get up to around 50 or 60% and still do really well for yourself!
Comments like this are so annoying, both are grown adults if they fan didn’t like the trade he would have said so. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this trade you just want to be a keyboard warrior.
The Hockey game you showed briefly is literally the best Hockey video game ever. Def a hidden gem as it's not mainline. That's Hitz 03. It's very much like Super Mario Strikers. 3 vs 3. High scoring. Very arcade like. Lot of fun.
i bet he told the fan hes got a good deal, didnt knew wat switch/games he wouldve given him. he probably just took it cuz its a video and seems like he doesnt care, probably does and didnt expect it. what a shthead
"I have to figure out if this stack of games is worth $90" ...I could tell you by not even looking it up obviously it was worth $90 plus lol ....Some of these videos where people sell collections for newer systems just blow my mind. Congrats on the haul man
Joined this channel a couple months back and with every video, I am never looking away. I haven’t had a channel this entertaining to me in awhile. I look forward to your videos which is weird to me but I love it. Happy New Year Caleb many blessings this year
The guy who gave these to you is crazy. Those GameCube games have an estimated value of over $1000, and could have sold them easily or quickly. I honestly can’t believe that.
i dont know why you people think its so easy to sell things. people are busy, they have things to do -they cant just set up amazon shops and sit around waiting for people to maybe show up on facebook marketplace - some things are more urgent than others, some people value things differently - theres a million answers, who fuckin cares bruh
@@theStepFamm I have sold 6 of those titles shown through eBay or Facebook. Plus a few more through the same way. I will admit some take a few weeks, and the not so well known ones take a lot longer, but I never had an issue with it while working full time.
@@jasonaustin7564 we all know that shipping stuff can become a nightmare if its not your main gig but after a while im sure it doesnt take as long as it seems but the money is surely worth it, either way yes ppl arent as smart as everyone else, they havent played a switch yet and this guy gets his hands on them like theyre nothing so the value is diff, time is money for the other guy too - he prob makes a killing doin somethin else
I thought Collector’s Luck was the best swindler. Caleb I’ve learned a lot from your channel. How to use charm to swindle generous people. Of course you guys just call it business as usual. Keep up the great work you’re killing it!
Gotta love Caleb, completely gyped that dude. A $200 switch for a $1,000+ gc collection. On top of that dude was a viewer that supports his channel. Absolute trash.
@@leeokami1021 the white box switch is the original switch which means pretty much its the worst one for the same amount of money! The red box switch has a better battery for no extra charge
Shows a switch box beforehand then shows up with it in a grocery bag and doesn’t even mention what games he gave the guy which are probably shovelware that he wouldn’t sell online for a profit, yeah he straight purposely ripped the dude off.
I’m currently 16 and have pretty decent sized GameCube collection of around 30 games. All of which are good games that have value. But through the help of my friend, I was able to add Gotcha Force, Cubivore, and Chibi Robo to my collection. I really hope you’re able to get those eventually, I’d love to see your reaction to finding one of those for a good price- it’ll be priceless.
If you ever come across a Japanese Wind Waker. I highly recommend grabbing it. I have one and the box art is beautiful and it's a great collection piece for display👊
'Not really into first person shooters' ..... So he puts Splinter Cell which ISN'T a first person shooter into the sell pile, then puts Timesplitters which is, in the keep pile lmao
This channel serves no purpose to me. I’m barely into video games. I hardly resell anything online. This channel shouldn’t even be on my radar, yet… This channel is somehow my all time favorite! I’m very new to the channel, and can’t get enough of it!
For me, I'm not a huge fan of most rpg and other such categories. Just never really appealed to me. There are some exceptions with the Mario rpg style games.
Putting Splinter Cell on the sell pile is the same as putting Metal Gear on the sell pile. They are both stealth games, and pretty good ones at that You should grab them if you have the chance again. The original trilogy is worth a try
this is just hard to watch. interesting that you let us see what's been traded from your part. that takes balls. pulling moves like this without getting your reputation destroyed, what a time to be alive.
I hate when I get recommended to this dude he just scams these poor people not letting them know what they have is incredibly valuable it makes me sick people like him just greedy for money
I realize the sports games may not be too exciting, but MVP Baseball 2005 and Tiger Woods 2005 are pretty good. Worth having in a Gamecube collection in my opinion (but you should definitely keep just what you want). I think I have seen you talk about Golf in general, and if I recall correctly that era of Tiger Woods games had more "arcadey" elements, like power shots etc. Almost like Mario Golf but more like a sim. You can kind of understand why those particular sports games were in this really nice Gamecube collection.
He literally ripped off his own fan and viewer.. he didn't even give him the box when he had it. Instead he got a brown trash bag with loose items in it.
@@Andreas16375 I’m sure the viewer knew what he was getting and agreed to it, at the end of the day that’s what matters. The guy trading could have backed out of the deal and no harm would have been done. That’s just the beauty of capitalism.
I’m from the Bahamas I’m glad I found your channel because I also wanna start collecting for a GameCube. We don’t have a lot of vintage game stores here but thanks to you!! I get an idea where I could look. I also think you should add a Def Jam game.
Following the list is honestly the best way to go about this. And your tastes are your tastes. At the end of the day it’s your collection. Yearly Sports I don’t get interested in, they change so often and COD has the same effect for me. I love RPGS, FPS like Doom /Destiny / Halo, and 3rd person adventure games, also a good RTS sometimes as well.
Caleb one thing i dont really understand, youve mentioned hoping to eventually find and buy some of the really expensive games (like cubivore or pokemon box) with your expected profit before, so why not roll over left over budget between episodes? that way you can eventually build up to indeed get those games if you find them? just from this video you'd add 11 dollars as you said yourself.
Bad deal for that guy... Win 4 u. U know that well bro. U Will ignore all comments because they are against the guy But u know u son he Lost...his not very Smart.
This doesn't really make any sense to me. I thought the whole point of the "gamecube gambit" was to show how people could build a collection from scratch, and being essentially given a full collection for free by one of your youtube subscribers is the exact opposite of that. This video was a miss for me.
@@Evilotto12 I get that. But it still misses the point of this series of videos that I thought was supposed to be about "earning" a collection through the work he put into reselling, and not being given one for free by a guy.
Congrats. You just ripped another UA-cam viewer... You gave him a used switch with filler titles...wow. Just MGS Twin Snakes alone & the Zelda's he could've bought a new Switch Oled!
Gran Turismo is "Vanilla Need For Speed" lol...thats actually a compliment. Its called Gran Turismo "The Real Driving Simulator". It doesnt get any more vanilla than that. Lol mission accomplished!
This is such a rip off. I usually support you Caleb but this is crazy bad. Like you should be ashamed of yourself. Even if it was OLED it would be a rip off
Hey man I just recently found your channel and have been watching a lot of your old videos, including the one you made about the hate and criticisms; and although a bit late I just want you to know that you have become one of my favourite content creators and I'm glad that you're able to keep creating videos for the fans!

I understand that he kinda scammed but the guy was willing to do it and seemed happy after it he also wasn’t playing on the GameCube anymore so I would really say he scammed the guy
Damn you ripped him off. Some old dumb switch not even an oled for a collection worth way over $1000 what an idiot I’d have given him one of my ps5’s and my old switch for that collection
Caleb you did this guy dirty , he’s a fan, should have gave him a better deal , would you do this to all your fans?
He didn't do anything. The guy knew what he was doing and he clearly didn't care
@@techfan1017 i mean caleb clearly didn't care either. He literally gave him a brown trash bag instead of the switch box. Plus he gave him the old launch model of the switch which is like 100$ now
@@Andreas16375 no switch is $100. The v1 switch still goes for $160-200 all day.
Are you sure this guy is a viewer of your channel? I mean, I get when people trade their collection for a newer system. I understand they may not want to take the time to sell on ebay or whatever and just get what they want straight up. But, my guy over here just slinging gems like the Zelda titles and Twin Snakes alone for an out of box Switch and some shovelware is bananaland. This just boggles my mind. Even Grandma Agnes knows that she can get hundreds for those three Zelda titles on Facebook Marketplace.
Poor grandma Agnes shaking her head right now
Damn you scammed him good
That guy gave up two zeldas that cost more than 100 dollars. You can buy a new switch with three games from the collection that he traded. That viewer is the worst resale guy I've ever seen. 😑
Those 5 switch games cost like 40 dollars at Walmart too
10:55 I love the random PS2 Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec game in the middle of all that GameCube gold. Made me laugh out loud. So random.
I know some people think we are being "salty" for saying this deal was horrible for the viewer. However, the bottom line is this is one of Caleb's fans and viewers. He totally ripped him off. If this was a pawn shop, yard sale, or flea market it would be easier to take as you have no connection to the person. Yes, everyone knows Caleb is a reseller and likes to double up. This was so much more than a double up and you totally ripped off a fan of the show. Caleb claims he wants to be known as someone who pays up and treats everyone well. He couldn't even give the guy a brand new switch? It had to be a used one? Be a man of your word and make it right with this guy. I remember back when you bought that huge collection of saturn, snes, nes and you told the person if it was more than you realized you'd make it right. Well here is your chance to prove you mean it. I am not saying go dollar for dollar, but you gave this guy about 30% of value when he was doing you a huge favor for your show! You can definitely get up to around 50 or 60% and still do really well for yourself!
Comments like this are so annoying, both are grown adults if they fan didn’t like the trade he would have said so. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this trade you just want to be a keyboard warrior.
@@dylanevans879 Having a valid complaint about something doesn't make someone a keyboard warrior. Don't worry though! We can still be friends :)
The guy knew what he was getting and he didn't care for the games anyway
HOW THE HELL IS THIS GUY A VIEW AND HAS ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AND DID NOT REALIZE HE GOT ABSOLUTELY RIPPED OFF AND ON CAMERA
The Hockey game you showed briefly is literally the best Hockey video game ever. Def a hidden gem as it's not mainline. That's Hitz 03. It's very much like Super Mario Strikers. 3 vs 3. High scoring. Very arcade like. Lot of fun.
Yikes. Imagine ripping off a fan like this with no second thought lmao
i bet he told the fan hes got a good deal, didnt knew wat switch/games he wouldve given him. he probably just took it cuz its a video and seems like he doesnt care, probably does and didnt expect it. what a shthead
"I have to figure out if this stack of games is worth $90" ...I could tell you by not even looking it up obviously it was worth $90 plus lol ....Some of these videos where people sell collections for newer systems just blow my mind. Congrats on the haul man
This was probably the worst deal I’ve ever seen
That poor guy got ripped off good lord
Haha I'm loving the Mr Krabs poster 💰 🦀 😂
WOOHOO! YOU RIPPED HIM OFF HAHA good job dude =) keep it up 😀
Joined this channel a couple months back and with every video, I am never looking away. I haven’t had a channel this entertaining to me in awhile. I look forward to your videos which is weird to me but I love it. Happy New Year Caleb many blessings this year
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I know the GAMECUBE GAMBIT is always 🔥🔥🔥
Bro he helped up out lol I felt bad for this trade I’m done watching these videos you could of at least got him a oled switch
4:23 Nice picture in the back 🤣🤣
The guy who gave these to you is crazy. Those GameCube games have an estimated value of over $1000, and could have sold them easily or quickly. I honestly can’t believe that.
i dont know why you people think its so easy to sell things. people are busy, they have things to do -they cant just set up amazon shops and sit around waiting for people to maybe show up on facebook marketplace - some things are more urgent than others, some people value things differently - theres a million answers, who fuckin cares bruh
@@theStepFamm I have sold 6 of those titles shown through eBay or Facebook. Plus a few more through the same way. I will admit some take a few weeks, and the not so well known ones take a lot longer, but I never had an issue with it while working full time.
@@jasonaustin7564 we all know that shipping stuff can become a nightmare if its not your main gig but after a while im sure it doesnt take as long as it seems but the money is surely worth it, either way yes ppl arent as smart as everyone else, they havent played a switch yet and this guy gets his hands on them like theyre nothing so the value is diff, time is money for the other guy too - he prob makes a killing doin somethin else
favorite new obsession channel. Some of the best content on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
I thought Collector’s Luck was the best swindler. Caleb I’ve learned a lot from your channel. How to use charm to swindle generous people. Of course you guys just call it business as usual. Keep up the great work you’re killing it!
Yeah I found this guy recently so I didn't know much about him but after this i think I'm done watching this channel
Gotta love Caleb, completely gyped that dude. A $200 switch for a $1,000+ gc collection. On top of that dude was a viewer that supports his channel. Absolute trash.
Harsh but fair 😂
Didn't even include the box...
@@moose3347 Or didnt include good games, most of em were trash lmao.
the four Zeldas games are worth more than a switch😂
I love the meta moments that Riff adds of him in his editing room. Always gets a laugh.
XIII is maybe one of the coolest and most random FPS game on the GameCube that I LOVE!! It is really nice definitely add it in the collection bröther
I love seeing you screw over people for our entertainment and for you to have a profit too. Great video
I agree! Idk if you notice but he traded him a white box switch lmaooo
Yes
@@leeokami1021 White box was launch model red box is updated
@@leeokami1021 the white box switch is the original switch which means pretty much its the worst one for the same amount of money! The red box switch has a better battery for no extra charge
“Finessed his ass”- Kodak Black
Shows a switch box beforehand then shows up with it in a grocery bag and doesn’t even mention what games he gave the guy which are probably shovelware that he wouldn’t sell online for a profit, yeah he straight purposely ripped the dude off.
this one's just too cruel for me.............
Two videos in a row he's rinsed people out of big collections for next to nothing. Where does he keep finding these mugs?
I think they actually find him.
An idiot is born every day
I’m currently 16 and have pretty decent sized GameCube collection of around 30 games. All of which are good games that have value.
But through the help of my friend, I was able to add Gotcha Force, Cubivore, and Chibi Robo to my collection. I really hope you’re able to get those eventually, I’d love to see your reaction to finding one of those for a good price- it’ll be priceless.
how on earth do you have that kidn of money at 16? Lol Gotcha force alone is like 500$.
Great pickups! But you gotta get Splinter Cell in the collection! Amazing stealth games
Happy new year! Been bing watching your videos like crazy.❤️
I like this channel and I’ve been watching for about a year but this felt nasty
Wait was that Riff voicing the dog lol funny.
My guy you threw the switch in a bag?? Why not keep it in the box tf
If you ever come across a Japanese Wind Waker. I highly recommend grabbing it. I have one and the box art is beautiful and it's a great collection piece for display👊
Was nice to hear you say
"Get them into the hands of someone who will enjoy them"
You know he doesn't really address it but the Zelda games he picked up are insanely rare and can go for a lot of money
Lmao they aren’t rare, they made millions of those. They’re great games and are valuable.
My guy said gran turismo is like vanilla need for speed... I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended 😂
He got mugged off massively 😂 can but that switch alone in U.K. is £150 to buy now, one of them games he gave is worth that, insane hahaha
Getting rid of Smuggler’s Run and the Splinter Cell games was a mistake.
'Not really into first person shooters' ..... So he puts Splinter Cell which ISN'T a first person shooter into the sell pile, then puts Timesplitters which is, in the keep pile lmao
This channel serves no purpose to me. I’m barely into video games. I hardly resell anything online. This channel shouldn’t even be on my radar, yet… This channel is somehow my all time favorite! I’m very new to the channel, and can’t get enough of it!
For me, I'm not a huge fan of most rpg and other such categories. Just never really appealed to me. There are some exceptions with the Mario rpg style games.
Love the GameCube gambit! The edits in this video are HILARIOUS
Putting Splinter Cell on the sell pile is the same as putting Metal Gear on the sell pile. They are both stealth games, and pretty good ones at that
You should grab them if you have the chance again. The original trilogy is worth a try
They are bad if you view them as first person shooters though.
That time splitters two that you got. I never seen the color behind the guy. That must be a different cover variant. Cool!!
Guy rips people off hardcore…..hurts to watch.
this is just hard to watch. interesting that you let us see what's been traded from your part. that takes balls. pulling moves like this without getting your reputation destroyed, what a time to be alive.
I hate when I get recommended to this dude he just scams these poor people not letting them know what they have is incredibly valuable it makes me sick people like him just greedy for money
I realize the sports games may not be too exciting, but MVP Baseball 2005 and Tiger Woods 2005 are pretty good. Worth having in a Gamecube collection in my opinion (but you should definitely keep just what you want). I think I have seen you talk about Golf in general, and if I recall correctly that era of Tiger Woods games had more "arcadey" elements, like power shots etc. Almost like Mario Golf but more like a sim. You can kind of understand why those particular sports games were in this really nice Gamecube collection.
Wow you ripped this guy off
The fact you called Splinter Cell a FPS shooter 😤😔 Major L getting rid of those...Classic Games
Becuase of people like him videogames are overpriced
Holy crap the framed Mr. Krabs. I love it haha
Dude you got an amazing deal. I can’t believe he traded all of that for a system and some games
He literally ripped off his own fan and viewer.. he didn't even give him the box when he had it. Instead he got a brown trash bag with loose items in it.
@@Andreas16375 I’m sure the viewer knew what he was getting and agreed to it, at the end of the day that’s what matters. The guy trading could have backed out of the deal and no harm would have been done. That’s just the beauty of capitalism.
What an amazing lot to add to the collection! Love this series! I'm also slowly trying to build my gamecube collection. Great video 👍👍
Omg that guy did the worst trade ever rip man
I’m from the Bahamas I’m glad I found your channel because I also wanna start collecting for a GameCube. We don’t have a lot of vintage game stores here but thanks to you!! I get an idea where I could look. I also think you should add a Def Jam game.
He isn’t into games just money so watch people who actually care
Horrible trade on his side
This is my favorite channel right now
It's relatively easy to get a Switch. Not so with the guys former Gamecube collection. He must have wanted a Switch so badly😀
My brain is melting
Following the list is honestly the best way to go about this. And your tastes are your tastes. At the end of the day it’s your collection. Yearly Sports I don’t get interested in, they change so often and COD has the same effect for me. I love RPGS, FPS like Doom /Destiny / Halo, and 3rd person adventure games, also a good RTS sometimes as well.
Caleb one thing i dont really understand, youve mentioned hoping to eventually find and buy some of the really expensive games (like cubivore or pokemon box) with your expected profit before, so why not roll over left over budget between episodes? that way you can eventually build up to indeed get those games if you find them? just from this video you'd add 11 dollars as you said yourself.
An old used switch with 5 games? You said you were gonna give him the better deal. He deserved a brand new one with at least 10 nintendo titles
Bad deal for that guy... Win 4 u. U know that well bro. U Will ignore all comments because they are against the guy But u know u son he Lost...his not very Smart.
U could have at least given the guy the switch box 🤦 those Zelda games ALONE are worth a lot
Did you just call Gran Turismo vanilla Need for Speed? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Smuggler's run has a soft spot for me as I used to play it at a friend's house. The "cops and robbers" mode was hours of fun
Not even the new oled switch lol
This doesn't really make any sense to me. I thought the whole point of the "gamecube gambit" was to show how people could build a collection from scratch, and being essentially given a full collection for free by one of your youtube subscribers is the exact opposite of that. This video was a miss for me.
100%. He’s a soulless reseller.
@@Evilotto12 I get that. But it still misses the point of this series of videos that I thought was supposed to be about "earning" a collection through the work he put into reselling, and not being given one for free by a guy.
Congrats. You just ripped another UA-cam viewer... You gave him a used switch with filler titles...wow. Just MGS Twin Snakes alone & the Zelda's he could've bought a new Switch Oled!
Gran Turismo is "Vanilla Need For Speed" lol...thats actually a compliment. Its called Gran Turismo "The Real Driving Simulator". It doesnt get any more vanilla than that. Lol mission accomplished!
This is such a rip off. I usually support you Caleb but this is crazy bad. Like you should be ashamed of yourself. Even if it was OLED it would be a rip off
Cry
Hey man I just recently found your channel and have been watching a lot of your old videos, including the one you made about the hate and criticisms; and although a bit late I just want you to know that you have become one of my favourite content creators and I'm glad that you're able to keep creating videos for the fans! No matter what any vile comments try to say we can all see that you're a great guy with passion for what he does!
Much love and happy new year!
