At MO Game Con you can pay more for your ticket to be a VIP & be the first ones in (1 hour buffer between VIP & regular entry.)

[@Fate862]

@@MSUHitman So basically money = privilage. Great as if we didn't have enough of that everywhere...now even cons where you can buy stuff you have to pay more than more then you can get first dibs to buy stuff due to that. Yeah I wouldn't go to these things either. They don't even buy to keep they buy to sell. Scalpers all over the place even there...even channels like this with scalping being the main focus of it all without shame. And people hate on PS5 scalpers...with this channel existing that's how it continues to exist even two years later. He buys 30 copies of the same game leaving nothing for the people after to sell all 30 online for more money...sad to see.

[@sdzero]

Does this bother anyone? I mean, really think about this. People pay to go to these conventions to get access to deals they normally couldn't get online. Only to have a reseller pick through the very thing a paying attendee might've been looking for, well before the convention is even accessible. Only to sell it online at a higher margin. This doesn't irk me out in the wild, but at a con...it really does. Honest question.

[@NittyGritty420]

Yes it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read the title of the video. I’m not knocking the hustle but maybe don’t brag about cheating everyone else.

[@Lazystu376]

I hate people that do this. I like older systems and hate that in order to play them I have to spend thousands. Yeah it’s a smart way to make money but they’re scumbags for doing it.

No matter what this is gonna happen and personally rather it be someone who at least understands the damage they cause the only issue can really take is isnt fair he always takes advantage of his early entrance to sweep up any good deals which really does fuck over people hunting for a genuine collection.

[@ukiyocloud3310]

i feel so bad when i see the vendors faces after seeing him look up prices on amazon and realize he's a reseller and not looking them up because he's buying for personal like look at the dudes face at 12:07 but Im still a face none the less i just wouldn't say anything out loud or in front of the vendor when I'm looking at the prices for resale and not personal

[@kamb8s]

What about his face? Lmao. He’s just a normal dude who went to a convention to make money and you’re watching a video of him making money.

[@Chris-hs8pc]

If I was a vender and he was scanning and saying things like “oh I can profit off this” I’d tell him to go take a hike..

[@johncarr3458]

so i like your channel but a bit confused about this one. Are you officially aloud to buy something before the general public are let in. Just seems a bit unfair that people might queue for hours to get in to grab some good deals, but if you can buy before they get in then a lot of the good deals have gone before they get a chance...

[@DubsBrown]

[@joeyherbst7164]

As much as I truly enjoy the channel and Caleb. This just rubs me wrong, I’m a collector of a few different things, including video games and I go to shows and/of conventions and even though THEY ARE ALLOWING him to buy early, why not wait like everyone else? Make it fair, flood gates at 10 is the way it should be. Everyone deserves a chance at deals and early access but make it fair. When they say it opens at 10 it opens at 10. You shouldn’t just poke your head in 2 hours early and know your doing something kinda frowned upon and still do. I understand it’s his job/profession. But do it right, and wait like everyone else.

[@brucekiraly5630]

Sellers have always bought from eachother before shows start. At game expos, comic cons etc. What isn't fair. Is channel's like Caleb's mjr, pixel game squad. They all have connections. Special stores discounts access to things us regulars would never be able to if we didn't know someone.

[@DubsBrown]

Or what bugs me is they get products sent for free that end up being hard to buy later for the rest of us. If they are not using it they should give it away.

[@retard6101]

They didn’t start with connections they had to make them. A lot of people have connections and I bet if you had them you would use them as much as possible. It’s a really stupid thing to complain about

[@lucatoni98]

If its a reseller scalper like the guy in the video, then yes. If its an honest buyer or collector looking to actually play the game, you better believe I will look it up if I dont know the value of it. If you've actually been to expos you'd know theres a bunch of overpriced junk, even higher prices than ebay, and a lot of sellers looking to rip you off.

I will be honest here. I like most of your content and the editing is excellent. I don’t is fair you get to buy early before the convention starts. Can you explain how that works? Did you pay for a vip pass?

[@martyrking2288]

That convention does have a pass that lets you in 30-min early but looked like he was there way earlier than 30-min. He probably got a pass to be a vendor and was able to get in the soonest they would allow. I respected that he said he would only pay sticker price but knew he wouldn’t be able to stick to that. This stuff happens at every convention, that’s why I don’t go anymore.

[@martyrking2288]

@@ezeztztztz It's not an open air-flea-market or garage sale. This is a convention within an event space that has a specific start and close time. The only people aloud into a convention that early are vendors who set up before it opens. Have you been to a convention? You cannot get in early. I understand what your saying but you are mistaken.
