How I Collected 100 PlayStation Games for $0.00

[@invicta6110]

I'm pretty sure it was either you or someone else that went into that same pawn shop @23:45 a year or two ago and it was the same story. Guy sitting right next to the door and being told you can't record as soon as you set foot inside as well as the employee hassling them. I'm almost 100% certain it was the same place because of the ugly red building. Places like this get a reputation and people avoid them regardless of what they have.

[@TucBroder]

Seemed like a very hostile business. Glad he didn't buy anything from them.

[@Kaixfikwind]

It was him, this is a compilation video. The one you saw in the past is titled “Finding underpriced PlayStation games in the wild”

[@Frank-x1g]

This guy helps me understand why I have never purchased a single game on Amazon.

[@dankboidonk]

i go for the cheap ones that arre like 3 dollars in good condition. I bought Gta iv in case used for $6 and it is in really good condition

[@c0dycancer]

Does gta go for a lot?

[@Madanth0ny]

eBay all the way

[@Osurne]

I would say amazon is like paying a finders fee if you are buying older games, OOP anything. You pay a premium because you didn't have to go look for it.

[@Frank-x1g]

@Madanth0ny Half my collection is local and half is EBay.

[@ca18drifta1]

His love for PlayStation was so great he sold the collection 6 days later

Damn bro that’s a real bro to let $100 go to help you with the PlayStation games. I’d definitely shop there if I’m ever in the area.

Hey Caleb and Rift, I really liked this long video showing an entire collection being completed in 1 video. You should def do more videos like this in the future! I think a lot of people will enjoy this one.

[@JakexGaming]

One idea for a video is scanning every item in game exchange or a game store and figuring out how much you can profit from one store alone

[@fabianrodriguez7263]

You were totally right to leave that pawn shop that called you a liar. That’s one of the things I hate the most. Don’t ever call me a liar when I’m telling the truth. I would have been done too. Not supporting that guys store.

[@thomers2451]

Bot behaviour

[@drryan83]

Glad to see the compilation video. I had watched each episode previously but getting the full run in one video was great!

[@HappyHardcore86]

I was so into the Gamecube gambit and was invested in watching them all. It kinda fell of for me after seeing these new collections just to be resold. In the GC gambit you made it seem like you were emotionally attached only for them to be gone later on lol. Im a reseller as well, and understand the process. But for some reason these dont hit as hard. But hey its your choice, just expressing how I feel

[@themightyaj1]

yes I feel the gamecube gambit was a waste of time

[@SingleCab22R]

agreed..

[@Oxmosh]

its fine to do some reselling, but the bait youtube videos trying to hit the emotional part is what sucks, and now hes milking it

[@UnluckyHyper]

ya i completely agree, i dont really enjoy these videos anymore

[@davidj.9432]

I have to agree here. I totally respect the hustle of reselling - it is not easy. I did feel like the emotional aspect of the Gamecube series was ripped away from the audience once he so quickly sold everything. It made the whole project seem very disingenuous. The newer "collection" series are just more of the same. I'd rather see videos of the sourcing/selling process instead of fake, contrived collection videos being put out.

[@THOMASANDWAYNE06]

Another collection series for you to resell when youre done, exciting!

[@YouGotMunsoned97]

Luke Gallows just casually hanging out! That was so cool to see him! 1:31:15

[@kingmattDub]

[@mrmfaulkner22]

I absolutely love the Ape Escape background music. So much nostalgia and memories. I remember beating that game multiple times on the PSP, but I never beat it on the PS1 since I was like 5 years old at the time and got stuck. You should really try playing Medievil when you get the chance. The game used to scare the crap out of me back in the day especially whenever I died!

[@Asaylum117]

Phoenix Resale: I'm not a huge horror game fan. Also Phoenix: *buys Resident Evil 2*

[@M4ni4ku]

Gran Turismo 2 is one of my favorite PS1 games so i'm happy you added it twice on your list gj :)

[@Iamstevensewell]

Here he goes again. Buys them to collect 100 games… then two weeks later sells them never plays a single game. 😅

[@GhostlyGenshinGuides]

This is a compilation video, all of these deals and sales happened a long time ago

[@Isthatchicken01]

Yep exactly my thought

[@duellegend71]

[@prettysweet5033]

He has the word "resale" in his name.. what do you expect? 😂

[@lostcausecollectibles]

Honestly he's doing it for content I get it, but it's hardly evil content and I wish I'd seen stuff like this when I first started collecting so I could do it efficiently instead of blowing tonnes of money ...

[@akahee22]

As ive seen these episodes atleast 5 times this year is remarkable and ive seen some of these this week 😂🔥

These series bring me so much dopamine. Love it Caleb!

[@numberoneappgames]

Great series and a re-case for a game was really nice of that store worker!

[@brandonpuckett4089]

I'll be honest, I have had very little luck with pawn shops in my state. Either they have a TON of stuff, but price it via Google Lens or eBay comps (which is fine, don't get me wrong at all.) or they have the same 15 Madden games you see at every yard sale. Prime example, I visited a pawn store in Hampton, VA that was STACKED to the gills with great stuff. But the prices were above eBay comps on every game, console and accessory. Guy was great to deal with.. but those prices were hard to swallow. And even buying in volume there was no price break. Again, that's how that business runs and I don't begrudge them that.... I just run my business differently and see things differently.

[@spencerpfister302]

Just noticed your KY basketball shirt and love it I am from KY and support this channel!

[@E_X_I_T]

Honestly man, the approach to this is all wrong. I loved the Gamecube series but you make it out like “oh I loved this as a kid” to kind of paint it in a better light but I just don’t see the point of these challenges if you’re going to just sell it immediately and not even play the fruits of your labor. Each to their own, it just seems strange and the first time it felt painted like you were fulfilling a life long dream… Yet you never touch the games. Meanwhile those who actually want these games are affected by resellers and people who just let them collect dust on a shelf. I loved this channel when I first found it and I genuinely think you're a pretty cool dude for the most part… but really you could replace video games with anything else and resell it at this point… because it just doesn't seem that important to you to actually experience the game. It really does just feel like you're in it for the cash. (Which you should be to some extent bc life, money, bills, I get it but just comes off as a little deceiving) i'm sure someone will rip me a new one for this comment. I don't necessarily think I'm right, just my two cents

[@RNGGamerYT]

Didn't you start this series over a year ago?!? I remember you looking for Smurfs on the PS1 at SEGE... 2022
