I Found the RAREST GameCube Game!

[@struanpeat5116]

my recommendation is to keep it aside, and in a future episode you commit the whole episode to trying to find the budget to buy it off yourself, and if you fail, you have to sell it and all profit from that episode can go to another project or another episode that way you still take a swing at getting the game in a gamecube gambit episode, but you can still count the profit from selling it in this episode because you bought it off yourself at the expected price

[@jared.1]

That’s an amazing suggestion in my opinion

[@krossboe8512]

He already used the fund from the game in this episode, so he wouldn’t be able to buy it from himself, as per the rules of the challenge.

[@struanpeat5116]

@@krossboe8512 thats what im saying, if he buys it off himself at the price he expected to sell the disc ($650 if i remember correctly) then he'll still have earned that profit

[@krossboe8512]

@@struanpeat5116 it’s already listed on his eBay store for over 1k. Also he says he doesn’t want loose stuff, only CIB, anyways

[@PhoneGuyTV]

i found it complete at my local game store for 50 bucks lmao, its so cheap in europe

[@itsadge]

I remember seeing that Pokémon Box in another video a while back and was surprised you didn’t grab it. But slow and steady won the race cuz not only was it marked down but you got a discount on top! Greatness happens to those who are patient I guess!

[@masonp4855]

What video was that

[@Beargreen332]

Yeah, I remember it too and when he showed his list a few episodes later and I saw that it wasn’t checked off, I got confused bc I thought he bought it lol

[@loganbettis2031]

Did u even finish the video

[@KirbyKing354]

Bro shut up pls

[@luhuntrix6928]

Thats not a gambit video if he buy it he have to sale it on that video

[@sheathbla]

Caleb, I’m so invested into your channel and series that I started to resell and collect. I started my n64 and GameCube collection the end of January and have 4 Nintendo 64’s and 3 GameCubes lol. I have about 20 games for the GameCube and 15 for the 64. I’ve made more money flipping than I’ve spent. Thank you for the mentorship through your videos. I will eventually start amazon after I get more comfortable with eBay! Keep grinding

[@techfan1017]

Same. I'm collecting the games I want for the N64, GameCube and Wii as well as some old Pokemon games. They are all free with the profits I made

[@EternalGlory1723]

You gotta flip that Pokémon game, the profit alone will buy you some high end games. But the chase is also so much fun to watch to find a complete copy!

[@guapo1040]

I love that you stick to the rules you set out on the journey. It makes it so much more satisfying to see you add each game to the collection.

[@hahathatsawesome123]

I love how honest you are! You easily could’ve edited this video/told the story to look like Game Exchange came last in the day and you had enough money to buy BOX! Either way I’m glad you found it

[@letsplayclassicgames5024]

I would definitely sell Pomemon Box for now, you will be much more satisfied finding it complete, and once you knock out these other games on your list, it wont take much for you to get that amount together. Glad to see Box go, I had been tempted to buy it in the past lol.

[@Whatnot627]

I remember a few years ago, the game store inside of the Fayette Mall had a complete Pokemon Box for like $350, looking back, i should have bought it, and flipped it now for $1500 lol

[@domenicricci2978]

Congratulations On Finding Pokemon Box!! My Suggestion Is That You Put It Aside! Now, in terms of the Scooby-Doo game that could have been added, I would have suggested Night Of A 100 Frights because of how popular it was. Not that Unmasked and Mystery Mayhem are bad (Which they are so much fun), but Night Of 100 Frights would make ANY collection look fun! Now, you do NOT have to take these recommendations for the GameCube Collection, but I feel that these would be great to add: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 Dragon Ball Z: Sagas Ed, Edd, N' Eddy: The Mis Ed-Ventures A Naruto Game (Any Game) Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem Scooby-Doo: Night Of 100 Frights But once again dude, fantastic video, and congratulations on ALL the latest pickups AND Pokemon Box! Keep up the great work!

[@miked2535]

Thanks for making my day once again with your awesome videos man. I still reflect on the first video I saw of yours which oddly took place in one of my local pawn shops in TN. I honestly have been hooked ever since. Man you and Retro Rick (whom you also made me aware of) have help helped me in some of my toughest times and even tho I am still in a struggle right now it makes it all worth it to get on here and enjoy your great content. Keep it up buddy!!! High hopes that you keep prospering in all that you love!!!

[@fabknows]

Burnout and NFS are both incredible franchises especially back in the day. I played tons of Burnout 2 and NFS Underground on the Gamecube which i strongly recommend for everyone who enjoys classic arcade racing. I also think that the graphics of Burnout 2 are incredible on the Gamecube and the handling of the cars are very nice and feel natural.

[@thesuperzfamilyvlog6607]

You've really inspired me. I have been wanting to do this for several years, and I think I might bite the bullet and jump in. Grats on Pokemon; that's insane!

[@mileskratz]

The price difference between pal and ntsc stuff is crazy, as a comparison the pal copy of Pokémon box disc is $70 aud , however something like Pokémon xd gale of darkness complete is worth over $400 aud which I think is a fair bit more than the ntsc version

[@PrinzCesc]

Its 35-40€ only on eBay in Germany. Thats crazy …

[@crunh]

i buy XD gale of darkness complete yesterday at 15

[@moefitzgerald4439]

I'm just starting to realize how valuable my GameCube collection is. I've got burnout, kirby air ride, Mario party 7, Lego star wars, Smash bro's melee, need for speed carbon just to name a few. I had no idea they were worth so much. they are just games I bought when I was a kid... crazy.

[@jesusjammmer]

Good job! 11 GameCube Games for a decent price. Keep up the good work and can not wait till I see you finish your list. Love this challenge you are doing.

[@jesusjammmer]

Like your honest and sticking to rules for your challenge! This is why I like your channel and will keep watching. Keep up good work!

[@YeagerFilm]

Burn Out is the best. I remember buying that game at Toys R Us back in the day. I had never heard of it before, but the crashes looked insane. I still remember on the back of the box it said "Hyperventilating is part of the fun!"

[@TheEvilResident]

I have over 1800 hours into Resident Evil 4. Most of that is probably from me speed running the game over and over and the mercenaries mode :D

[@ronnymanfred]

Can someone explain, why Pokemon Box is currently at around 80-120€ on ebay in Germany? Is that a different version? Or have the prices just heavily dropped in the last two years?

[@bbilly9359]

Well you’re a lot closer than I realized- not one of those people who obsess over online personalities but could you imagine going to buy some games and seeing this guy there!

[@djpainkiller3326]

9:10 back in the day and being a kid and having that one sibling or family member in your family that rarely ever plays (almost never video games) but has one game and only got that one game on your system we all remember having that one obviously not yours game in your collection that that belong to a family member of yours that was super embarrassing to see your collection nostalgia

[@pokemongo2730]

"get out of my store" LOLLLLL great writing

[@tartuffethespry]

Editor Riff: small tip. When ever Caleb tosses games for dramatic effect @0:28. Please edit out the sound of them hitting the floor. Small details like that can make a video's quality seem that much better

[@itskee7659]

This is a really creative and fun to watch challenge. Been hooked on these videos all day, especially since I collect Gamecube games as well. Definitely subbed to follow along

[@ItsNep]

actually fuming he bought pokemon box just to resell it. collecting games is great and everything, but stuff like this frustrates me to no end.

[@TheRetroWorld]

Insane to see how much that game has gone up

[@dutchweeks1]

I would definitely have sold it. You made the right decision.

[@jamesockes093]

16:09 my god that brought back so much nostalgia used to play that with my cousins at my grandma's

[@yourboiholdy1470]

I appreciate you sticking to your rules about the GameCube gambit, of course it may be awhile or it could be next week to find another Pokémon box, either way it’s nice that you aren’t bending the rules for it. Keeping it authentic

[@jaderabbit8726]

I would add up left over budget from previous episodes of the GameCube gambit, then justify keeping it!

[@MrThanefull]

Just a warning about joy cons, the box might look new but you can open them from the bottom of the box. Just something to be careful of for everyone out there.

[@shujihar2410]

I think in the future what would be fair is if you manage to grow your budget enough that you could have bought it with your budget (without adding its own flipping price) by the end of the video you can keep it as your gambit pur have and if not then you have to take the hit and sell it for the gambit budget It would allow you to pick up some harder to find games if you see them early on in your gambit so you don't have to miss out on the more expensive and rare titles without you needing to risk going over on the budget Might also be cool to have videos where you do a gambit focused on saving so you have enough to spend on a bigger game because I know it's gonna be hard to build up enough budget in just one video for some of those games

[@VAMIP1]

You know what’s crazy that pokemon box game is £100 in CEX in the UK is crazy how much prices differ between countries

[@scottlawrenson378]

I love this idea and series you’re doing, just found them . I was watching a different one of yours before this and yt closed couldn’t find that one again. But in that video a pawnshop was looking up game prices as you were choosing them and quoting the prices, I don’t like that method myself . Feel like they should have set prices beforehand.

[@thecitizen6860]

When he said best youtube gamecube series.. and worst popped up i died lol

[@BenSchmerler]

Solution: Keep the loose disc Pokemon box. Go into negative budget and make up the money. Try to find another Pokemon box complete (perhaps by trading other high end stuff you find) and flip the loose disc Pokemon Box afterwards to bring your budget back in line. It is also unlikely but not impossible that you manage to find the other components of Pokemon Box on their own perhaps at a con. I just think when you find a rare game that you want for your collection it's best to hold and try to upgrade since you really don't know when you will find that perfect target and the game itself has value that you can always trade or sell in the future. In other words, you can make more money on flips or find other premium Gamecube games to trade towards a complete copy but it may be very hard for you to even find another loose disc Pokemon Box at a budget friendly price. I always hold onto items I'm not sure I will see again.

He Phoenix been here since 3k subs and still love the content. I think you should implement a rule where the budget can carry over to future episodes. Of course try to flip games each video and try to use that expected profit but if you run into games like Pokémon box or other games / you find a lot of titles you need if you had the “backup budget” it would be cool to see you be able to get them. Idk could change it up a little or add more rules to it but I think it would be helpful. Maybe announce the budget at the start / end :) hope you see thus
