How I Turned 900,000 GameStop Points into a RARE Switch

[@sharkansas_]

is nobody going to talk about the insane transition from dumping the games out on the table to the pretty layout at about 8:25?? Solid editing dude!

[@photoc]

8:25 that is an awesome transition. Bravo!

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks!

[@alessiiscano1720]

Sei italiano

[@everyhandleistaken2007]

Congrats Caleb! Also, really good transition with the dumping out your bag then turning the camera around to everything set up well on the table, I had to re watch it haha. Solid content!

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks Jake, I was proud of that!

[@TreySchwab]

You are a game beast man!!! Thank you for letting people join you on your incredible journey!!!

[@joshvgame]

This is the first video that I have seen you geek out over a video game

[@TheFlippingAccountant]

Congrats on such an awesome addition to the collection. The video was excellent with all of the transitions and clips. Keep up the great work bud!

[@PhoenixResale]

Much appreciated brother!

[@oldirtydave22]

Dude you deserve it man. You bust your butt making content and reselling you need to treat yourself it will motivate you to go harder. Even if you sell it down the road it’s nice to own nice things it keeps your spirits up when days aren’t so great. Enjoy brother!

[@beatdown5215]

That bidding last minute is the best strategy ebay wise. I learnt it the hard way once on a case xx. Now I bid the last 10 seconds every auction! 🤷🏻‍♂️ another reason is I often bid on things and change my mind after winning so doing it last minute is the best way to make myself follow thru lol

[@JacklostYedmore]

I miss GameStop here in Norway, it sucks not having a store to buy used games in and trade in games :/

[@Inv_ity]

Here in Bergen we barely have any video game stores. It’s so sad to see. :(

[@JacklostYedmore]

@@Inv_ity Makes me miss when I was a kid and was excited to look for new games, also makes me remember trading in Super Mario Sunshine for Hamtaro on dvd 😝

In my country we only have 1 game store game mania and it's soo soo busy there😩😭😭

[@andrewgtiddlyt7832]

Here in the UK we have Game as our only dedicated game store but can purchase in hmv asda tesco etc

[@aerodrone6344]

Yeah! Same thing here in Sweden.

[@Retro_115]

800$ for a collection piece switch with extra accessories! Nice investment 💯👌🏼

[@JrueMango]

For some reason Dragon Quest makes me so emotional. Holding that switch and controller would no doubt make me burst into tears

[@Weezerman007]

Congrats on the DQ Switch! A very cool looking console with lots of special touches! My personal grail that I currently own has to either be a complete in box Earthbound or brand new Gameboy Advance SP NES Edition.

[@PhoenixResale]

Woooooow, those are both excellent!

[@ChaseAfterTheRightPrice]

Beautiful system! I loved this video and all of the great flow of it. Changes of scenery are definitely nice

[@Airdog_]

Cool video, Caleb! I completely agree with you about buying something that makes you happy! I just recently spent $800 on a pair of shoes, something I always said I wouldn't do, but they were a grail of mine and a shoe that I've wanted for years! Nothing wrong with spending money on something materialistic every now and then.

[@fightrudyfight5799]

That’s a really great looking Switch! I love the joy-cons. They look even better than the recent Zelda ones! Congrats!

[@bdanka50]

Awesome pickup man! I used to own mint cib copies of Snatcher, Popuful Mail, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth, Keio Flying Squadron, Crusader of Centy, Chrono Trigger, and more rpgs for snes, saturn, Genesis, cib collections of 3do and 32x, etc ... But sold everything 😭 Now my grail is a sealed Zelda Wii U console. Not quite as good, but still happy with it.

[@DaveGiudice]

Beautiful and congratulations. I love seeing people be successful and getting something nice like that. That’s a pretty sweet reward for yourself.

[@CincyGameHunting]

Totally jealous of this pick up Caleb. Awesome that you were able to finagle all of this together to get it for free with GameStop points. Dragon Quest is definitely one of my favorite franchises of all the video games!!!

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks brother! Took a while but it was fun!

[@JamesGowan]

@@PhoenixResale - sorry GameStop made you feel so frustrated! I have no idea why a company would have a Points program and then not want to honor it. Great job on getting what you really wanted! Awesome eBay snipe!

In my country they actually sell the rare switch for 500

@@JackieGoon in what countries money?

[@icymomementum4829]

they don't really sell it legally in other countries except japan, like you have to buy it from japan then sell it in the US

[@Rossbrian1]

It was technically free

[@platinumshard8688]

Dude nice find with The Legend if Zelda Twilight Princess game, man I was looking for that game for a while, ended up buying it digitally because I could not find one for less than like $70 dollars!

[@PhoenixResale]

Yeah it’s a gem for sure!

[@khaiisyz9394]

I mean,you do you man,i myself spent $679 for the monster hunter edition one,did not regret it at all

[@sethtanner1]

8 hours on the phone and you ended up doing what I said to do anyway. :) glad it worked out in the end. They gotta fix that online coupon stuff. Super frustrating

[@PhoenixResale]

Yep, the 8 hours was still necessary though because my points were all tied up in unusable coupons

[@Willcheetah24]

the amount of time it must have taken to get that many gamestop points is incredible

[@kaylareadsdystopian]

I just tried to redeem my points to buy a game online earlier this week, and couldn't do it either. I had to buy something in store, and there wasn't much I was interested in.

[@phillyretrokid]

i enjoy watching all your guys video. I would fit right in with you guys. I enjoy hunting. been doing it for 15 years. keep it up

[@lptyger]

Glad you resolved your account. Was hoping that you would find a way to resolve the online points, but oh well. Whatever works I guess! :D

[@xPixelboix]

GameStop employees be looking at the beginning of the video of him explaining on how he's gonna make money, they be like that's illegal you're scamming us. 🤣😂 Funny how he's making money back.

[@robusthammer3956]

I think my 1981 MS. Pac man Upright is my crown jewel, she isn't perfect, but i only paid $30 on market place and local pick up, found a maintenance Manuel for it on eBay for like $10. So I'm $40 in on a full ms. Pac man Upright.

[@Potato-gn4di]

You deserve way more than 20k subs, your channel has better content than channels with a million subs

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks brother! Maybe one day!

[@jellyface401]

I used to work at a travel agency where you could only use 200 dollars in value when exchaging promotional points and only on each purchase, so most likely game stop has a similar limitation.

[@atruceforbruce5388]

[@danbroughton4954]

I have a few jewel pieces - Sharp Nintendo TV and Majora's Mask Gray Cart Not For Resale are my two best finds at the yard sales. I made a big mistake of selling Snatcher though =/

[@bdanka50]

Ugh, I feel your pain. I sold huge Sega CD, Saturn, 32x, 3do, Dreamcast, Snes, Genesis, etc collections right before the boom. It's crushing to think about it.

[@yung2una]

Recently started watching your videos and I've been inspired to do some resale of my own. I've been in and out of game exchange about as much as the employees have and I happened across the metroid prime trilogy in the most mint condition possible the day it hit the shelf. Not nearly the most valuable game in the Nintendo collection but by far the most beautiful. Good stuff here man.

[@BlackCubone]

Definitely a beautiful console. 😍

[@bingevintage8124]

This is the definition of treating yourself

[@johnshellard6201]

Amazing, chuffed for you and yes I would have done the same. I would love the PS4 pro 500 million limited edition.

Great answer!

[@BreakingJP83]

500 million Limited Edition Ps4 is pretty nice.

[@rudolphrofinot4963]

I've got a few jewels. A pokemon Banksy test pressing vinyl, a One of a kind Castlevania custom vinyl, a Nickelodeon ps2. Less than 50 made. And the most expensive game I've got is probably a complete Super Bowling on N64.

[@PhoenixResale]

Wooooow

[@MrMacabreu]

I think my jewel, even if it's not that expensive is a complete perfect copy of Nightmare Busters for SNES

[@chrisarmstrong5389]

I have a lifetime amount of over 300,000 and i only have 950 now..... apparently they expire 12 months after your last purchase...... im a freaking gamer how does that happen.... ugh

That Switch isn’t worth $900 the big deal is the box not the console if you compare the dragon quest 11 to the PS4 dragon quest 11 the PS4 is all blue it looks like dragon quest 11 the joy cons is what’s different you can just buy the joy cons separate and put them on any other switch you won’t be able to tell the difference if you wanted a dragon quest X1 console your should of bought the PS4 one the problem just it’s not a pro

[@israelcanepa2431]

Why did you bid $830 when the highest bid was less tan $750? Can someone explain?

[@lisafan6365]

ebay bidding works a bit differently than other auctions. Essentially each time you bid you are stating your "highest bid" meaning the most you would be willing to pay. At the end, the highest bidder wins, but they only pay the next bid increment over what the 2nd highest bidder bid as their "highest bid". for example if the auction has a bid increment of $1 and there is 1 other bidder who entered $50, and you entered $100, you would win and pay $51.
