Sealed Video Game Hunting JACKPOT ($900 Spent)

[@Giygaszor]

Get a real job, you are nothing more than a vulture. I hope no regular person wanted any of those games / systems you bought, in the name of greasing the wheels of your slimy operation. This applies to you picking up Switches at retail stores and reselling them too. It's shit.

[@PhoenixResale]

Actually the jokes on you, vultures have the most powerful digestive system in the animal kingdom so THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT CLAIRE!

[@platinumshard8688]

Claire you sound kinda salty if ya ask me, the man is running a business that is very successful. He is making money and having fun doing it, what’s better?

[@Dynasty_VR]

Bro no need to be jealous because you have to get up at 7 tomorrow to go to Burger King while this guy makes bank doing what he loves lmao

[@yoshiD15]

get a real job lmao like you? and be miserable! no thanks! we the crazy people who don't follow the herd are the ones to change the world not the 9-5ers get out of that imaginary box. And if anything you should learn from him not to sell games maybe but to ask your self what can I do to become more valuable. He learned a new skill and you hate him for it.

[@damiengunit9788]

Freedom to dream !!! 🌪

[@teddyc8589]

Man people are such haters! This guy goes around looking for the deals that everyone else can look for! HE found some great games and in all reality his purchases are helping the game stores that we all love stay in business! The game store where he spent 900+ it looked like he was the only customer in the whole store. So before you hate you should look at the good he is doing for our community! Keep up the great work Caleb!

[@PhoenixResale]

Haha thanks brother!

[@Assassin-ys5vw]

People call him a scalper but hes not scalpers buy up high demand stuff then sell them for 3x its retail price this guy is finding deals then selling them for retail price or a little lower hes not asking for a grand on a ps5 after paying $600 hes buying games for a few bucks and making like at best $10 off it in return hardly the same as a scalper

[@zhenwang4108]

When you sense a person with sanity nowadays, you have to stop by and give him/she a hug or like, because it's rare!🌝

To be fair he went in at opening. Who's gonna be at a video game shop at 7 am. No hate I still respect Caleb just wanted to point that out.

[@briankoski7155]

Awsome love watching your videos 👍

[@ZeroBlueOx1]

Whenever I get games that have the security tags or stickers, I always use lighter fluid to get them off. It eats away the adhesive without damaging any of the plastic case, or cardboard as it even works on retro boxes. Have done it for years and never had any negative results from it, and works like a charm.

[@MYSTIC_5280]

O damn I def need to keep that in mind for the future

Some awesome titles! We would also be terrified to grab those sealed games without the protectors! Awesome video Caleb!

[@ElAlex214]

The copy of Lunar you got is the fan art edition which comes like that, so no outer box, ost disc, making of the game, cloth map or hardcover manual. The art on the cover matches the art on the outer box of the limited edition. The fan art edition is less common which probably has a greater value since its brand new.

[@PhoenixResale]

Great tip! Hasn’t sold on eBay yet... so we’ll see!

[@damiengunit9788]

So true

[@ElAlex214]

[@adambennett08330]

some people dont realize that your actually selling some rare games and consoles that you cant find in stores anymore including mint condition complete ones and if i could i would buy that pokemon white you have listed on ebay or that monster hunter double cross xx japan exclusive console . definitely nice finds. im kinda wondering tho why you dont hunt for many switch games because the console sells faster than any other right now and i think its still a good time to resell. one game thats extremely hard to find is the 1st run cover of binding of isaac afterbirth+. i managed to get the very last copy my walmart had last year for $5 that was hiding behind all the other games in display case with a little dust on the cover. besides rare games i also collect imports and last imports i bought were atelier ryza 1 and 2. almost $200 for both on amazon, but both are great games and had to get them before price went higher. also have a sealed copy of dead or alive extreme 3 scarlet i bought before price jumped. even tho some dislike you for reselling games for more money they dont understand that people need to make a living somehow. hell twitch isnt an actual job either, but if it pays the bills and keeps food and roof over head i say do what makes you happy and it looks like you enjoy doing what you do.

Hey Caleb, nice pick ups! I would love to know your opinion on scalping.

Pokemon Black can be sold for $104?? I had White but I don't currently know where it is. It was like the 2nd pokemon game I've played. I wonder if I should go on the hunt for all the pokemon games. I probably won't be able to because it'd be expensive and there are so many since each generation has 2 versions but it would be cool. Maybe I'll create a series like your GameCube Gambet where I go around and buy stuff at yard sales or stuff like that and get a budget to get Pokemon games and part of the budget goes to finding the console the Pokemon games are on. I had a Gameboy but don't know where it is. I know where my DS and 3DS are but maybe I'd get a new one. Lol. But anyways, probably wouldn't be interesting because the chances of running into them are probably small whereas running into a GameCube game is more likely. Knowing me, I'd buy something intended for my budget and I'd wanna keep it. Lol.
