Phoenix Resale Gets caught trying to Switcheroo a Pawnshop then plays victim.

Unfortunately the business owner told him as soon as he walked in "no filming dude" so we dont have proof to see what really happened. But listening to him say retell the story its obvious something went down and Caleb tries to claim after resurfacing the 2 discs and pay $15 and still had profit left to be made on amazon..somethings not adding up.

I understand he may have done a switch on that pawnshop, but I don't understand the entitlement and arrogant criticisms. He's literally just a normal guy and yeah resellers are gonna seem "scammy" and look like scalpers, but resellers are kinda valid in pricing their stuff somewhat higher. If we're not gonna spend our time looking for that specific game at a reasonable price, then we can pay for someone's time, effort, and negotiating skills to acquire those physical titles for us. Again, if he really did do a switch to get a lower price, then that's unethical and to frame it as if he was victim is not right. BUT this speculation, if we heard the pawn store employees side maybe we could draw a more conclusive picture. It genuinely doesn't seem like he was trying to get any sympathy or frame it differently, just explain his side of the situation.
