I’ve got to be honest. This video makes the entire gambit feel extremely disingenuous. I get that this is your job, but selling over half the collection without even trying 90% of them just weeks after completing the collection gives off the vibe that you didn’t even care about finding all of these, but instead that you cared about the views it gave you. I get not wanting to horde games you’ll never play, but then don’t spend months hunting them down for clicks on your channel just to get rid of them.

I think people are upset because you are selling these games so soon after completing the GameCube gambit.

Caleb, I watched all your content. I'm a collector and retired reseller (though I still might make a flip once every few months) from 10-20 years ago. You made a big mistake and perhaps got too big for your britches with the emotionalism you sold attached to the GC Gambit. The backlash you're seeing is warranted, and you should rethink ever tying any personal attachment or pleas to any product you plan to immediately flip in the future. Just saying, it's hard to take you seriously after this. I know I'm just a guy on the internet, but this is a bad look brother. Hope you apologize, perhaps make a donation to a few local charities, and never mix profit with emotional pleas to your audience again.

[@gabbielanders3368]

Selling them so soon is kinda bs. I get you’re a reseller and I get that you need to generate an income but I - along with many others - thought this was going to be a collection you would keep. You had so many people reach out to you and give you games from themselves with the intention that they contributed to such a cool idea, for you to go and sell it from underneath them. I think you should keep the collection because it helped your channel grow and it’s a huge journey you went on. A new house is a scary time but with something a meaningful as this, you’d think you’d wanna hold onto it for just a little longer.

So you get your DREAM of having this collection and just a couple of days / weeks you sell it all ? Just say straight away that you are just making content like a challenge of getting all those games. Saying it is your dream to have these games and then selling it is just showing that you are clearly doing this for content and not for personal fulfilment of having the game collection you have wanting ever since you were a kid.

[@humanpr0ject1]

"Just say straight away that you are just making content" .... Phoenix is a KZbinr and this is already implied, he doesn't need to explain it to you. Also as the other reply says he literally kept half of them

[@levirogers336]

He didn’t sell them all? He kept just under half.

[@maishomemenos]

@@humanpr0ject1 What hooked me on the channel and on the series was the idea of getting your childhood dream collection of all the games you use to see on video game magazines and Toys R’Us / game store brochures. If he didn’t want a game then just don’t buy it. It’s not like there isn’t a whole website were you can check gameplay and opinions to see if you would be interested in the game. There was no need for him to buy games that were not on the checklist to begin with. We are talking about a console that launched 20 years ago. His business is reselling and I thought that at least this series would show his gamer side more than the business side of things. If he kept it for a little while longer a made a series of him making quick fire reviews and ranking the games he bought that would lead to a more diverse selection of content for his channel and would connect directly to the GameCube Gambit Series. Of course it is his channel and he can do whatever he wants but it wouldn’t hurt to know along the way that “Yeah I’m just going to keep some of them” if that was the case he should have tried to go for the full North American GameCube library. Just my 2 cents

He could have been less cap and had the actual list be what was in the keep pile, while still acquire the other “sell” games outside of the gambit. But no, he needed the thumbnail of him holding Pokémon box.

[@ml-uo7gt]

He had a list of 75 games to get and keep, after 8 months when the series ended he decided to refine the list and kept 56 games with 10 being on the list because like he said in the video, why would you keep games that you don’t want to have in your collection. The rest of the games are extras that he got along the way and weren’t even on the list because think about it, you have a gamecube game hunting video wouldn’t it make sense to buy games in every episode as what would the point be in not buying at least one gamecube game in a gamecube hunting video

I get it, it's part of the business too. I'm not saying you're a fake gamer or anything like that, but let's call a spade a spade here with what the real intention was behind this.

[@Bryan7474]

Honestly if that was his intention, most of the games he bought he only bought at like a 10-15% difference of full value. I dont think he bought this collection to resell, in fact I'll bet he'll barely the 10-15% difference. But it is annoying he's selling IMMEDIATELY after fulfilling this collection. I think many of us had this impression maybe he'd review some of the games or give his opinion before selling more than half the collection. But it is his collection. I think he just has fun collecting and he's now getting rid of games he honestly doesn't think he'll shove in his gamecube ever.

@@rp71284 When OP said Def Jam, I thought he meant the first game so I thought to myself "ehh game was kinda mid, I'd probably sell too" but now that I see it's Fight for NY? This dude is cracked for selling it. I have my ps2 copy I've had since a kid and I'm never selling it. Game is a masterpiece.

[@imperialguard5599]

Sounds like the guys a Nintendrone who only plays games with the Nintendo logo on its developer list. FFNY and MGS are the best thing on the platform.

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

The reason the GameCube gambit was so entertaining is because of the joy and excitement you showed while collecting them. However, now it feels like it was all a sham to produce content for KZbin. I don’t even like playing video games anymore in fact I actually HATE IT but Ive watched every single episode of the game cube gambit. Being a collector myself it’s always exciting to watch someone complete a collection of any kind. However, now that your just getting rid of the whole collection who’s going to watch you collect anything else. Even worse is you’ve become one of them . The one thing that collectors hate more than anything are fake collectors who buy rare items only to resell them and raise the price of the items. I’ve said many things in the previous paragraph but I have to separately address the sheer amount of deception and manipulation you’ve displayed while filming this series. So many people that sold to you gave you discounts under the belief that you were a true collector. It really appears as if any authenticity you had while collecting was manufactured for the singular purpose of getting a discount so you could resale the items later. Which will be very easy to do since you’ve been promoting the collection for 8 months.

[@adamessmyer4428]

I downsized my game collection significantly this year. At first it was a hard decision, but then I asked myself the question when going through my inventory- “am I really going to play this?” And so I sold them/traded them in to my local store. Curating a collection with games that actually mean something to you rather than just having bulk filler is so much more rewarding

[@TucBroder]

I have plenty I know I'll never play. But I'm not selling them! Good or bad, they're in my collection. Rewarding to me, is to have a big collection :)

[@MoarCheeseBirb]

The criticism isn't that he's downsizing and curating, that's perfectly healthy. It's that he was being misleading in acquiring games on the cheap with a story and fake interest, when now it seems the intent all along was to create content and flip them when finished.

[@OfficialUknow]

he sold them all tho lol

[@kalebuck3282]

He said it himself "this channel has always been about money" so every single thing he said about finding these games for a childhood dream is utterly false I feel bad for the collectors who parted with these rare games to hook this dumpster of a human up

[@DonCesar93]

This guy 💀 no shame what so ever

[@Ocelot35]

When he told them it was the house of his dreams, they accepted his offer of treefiddy for the property.

[@vysedyne644]

That's a reseller for you.. Stop supporting this joker.

Just so frustrating/fake. I want to like this guy and his channel he just makes it so tough sometimes. "Collecting the gamecube collection of my childhood dreams"....... yup

Scamcube Gambit

[@ml-uo7gt]

What’s fake about it? He isn’t selling all of them he literally said in the video the ones he is keeping are for his permanent collection and the rest are going to be used to fund other collections, projects. Maybe watch all the video and listen to what he is saying.

[@hartlessforever]

0:53 fake being a gamer dude that part made me laugh so hard LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@IMVUGODLY]

The community and stores helped you build that collection, You are filthy bruh

[@jackilopegreendog2724]

Don't have a problem with you selling but have a problem with you getting us to watch your videos based off your "collection" when really all you are is a reseller

[@DubsBrown]

Yeah, if GameCube was cheap and common without a flipping upside he wouldn’t have done it. Now trying to tempt us to his whatnot since the WATA games didn’t pan out.

[@tofudubu0528]

Wanted to complete his collection. Lowballed his way through the damn thing. Completes his collection. Sells. ??? Profit. Yep, profit.

[@rp71284]

Real question is, since you said you want to see the games you aren’t keeping going to somebody who will enjoy them, will you be selling for the 30-40% of eBay value that you paid? Heck you could sell for 50% and come up on top. Ha what am I saying, you’ll dump a bunch on Whatnot, milking more $ out of viewers and sell the rest on eBay without testing them.

[@ml-uo7gt]

You do realise he has someone who tests the stuff right, he was literally in this video.

[@JCtheComicGeek]

And that's a reseller for you! Always looking for the next score or deal no matter who they step on to do so! Sad how the retro game YT community has become so toxic now! Bet he takes this video down due to all the negative comments.

[@jefferybergman2505]

He just made the "Gamecube Gambit" a waste of time and completely obsolete.

[@morganaverena]

i was starting to watch the GC gambit then immediately stoped when I saw that he has sold more than half, lost all the respect I had before. Funny how he decided to put this in a second channel and not in the main one...

[@LikeJayUrock]

It’s your collection do what you want with it but it’s a major let down that you decide to resell them so quickly, making it seem like you were actually after them to collect them more than to just resell them

[@playwithmilygool]

It’ll be cool if you had sold them cheaper than market or at least at the same valine you brought cause at least that would feel genuine it’s like a selling gift since many of these you got dirt cheap from people who believed you were going to keep them

[@jaygarcia6079]

Channels like this ruin the hobby lol it drives up demand just for the games to sit on a shelf for peoples backdrops in videos. This bubble will burst so yeah you should sell now, get your money back. But don’t be mad when people are mad lol it’s a natural reaction for collectors to cringe at someone who’s purely in it for the money. This won’t last long though just gotta be patient

[@my3ticotaku213]

Why wasn't the gambit with only wanted games?

[@DubsBrown]

Thank you, list should have only been what was in the keep pile, and he could have acquired the others outside the gambit. But no, he needs Pokemon Box in the thumbnail. Thank God Riff bought him Ribbit King or else he’d flip that.

[@ml-uo7gt]

The viewers made the list that’s why.

[@CooldudeVlad]

Lmao he already has started the ps1 scambit list, you can see it at 16:59

[@Ashketchumismyking]

Nah just not a collector lol, you’re a reseller so don’t claim the opposite

[@cwilli8937]

Clearly the chase is the point, but its kinda sad to see the collection split up so soon after we got to see it finished

[@AuthenticFinds]

Yea I thought it was genuine too.

[@kamb8s]

@@AuthenticFinds doesn’t mean it wasn’t genuine. There’s no reason to keep games you have no intention of playing if your end goal is to have a collection of games you want to play. If he wanted a collection just to sit on a shelf so he could look at it that’s a different story, but he said that’s not what his goal is.

[@DubsBrown]

I think he’s keep pile should have been the real list all along.

[@voxel64]

Remember in the beginning of the GameCube Gambit when you said you'd play ALL the games you pick up? Lmao.

[@ml-uo7gt]

He did for 10 episodes out of the 25, maybe he stopped doing it because people clicked off the video and didn’t find it interesting anymore when it got to that point

[@KMACKTIME]

You woulda loved Ed edd n eddy as a kid. It’s all about makin money 😂

[@WorldGuilherme]

I think this video ruined the whole experience of following the saga of the collection, what childhood dream is this that ends so quickly?

wow all of this hate is absolutely warranted I just watched the 7 hour gambit video and though hell yea he completed his collection, I'm proud of him and I hope I can do the same some day, not only that but you had so many people help you with this collection just to sell it all is insane, what a scummy thing to do.

[@ewfsew]

Okay now I am really pissed.. Why would you do such a Trip and at The end Just sell them? You just lost a viewer..

[@worldsboss]

I’ve never really understood people who collect games without intending to ever play them. Everything I buy is because I one day want to play them.

[@DubsBrown]

Preach. The real list should have been what was in his keep pile. I have my own spreadsheet of wishlist games but I make sure to organize which games I really need to own and play (especially if it’s something my friends will enjoy split screen) over games that I could just emulate. If Riff hadn’t bought him Ribbit King he deff would have sold it. It’s all about the extrinsic value with him.

[@ml-uo7gt]

Some people like collecting the games and the hunt and some people like playing the games he literally talks about it in this video. Everyone can do what ever they want with their collection, there’s nothing wrong with what he is doing as he is still keeping the ones he wants and then using the rest to fund other projects and collections just like a lot of other collectors do. I have a big collection of games that I don’t have the intention of playing and also get rid of the ones I don’t feel need to be in the collection anymore.

[@worldsboss]

@@ml-uo7gt I'm not criticising, everyone is ofc free to do what they want. It's just very different to my own philosophy, that's all.

[@DubsBrown]

@@ml-uo7gt that’s not the point. It’s that he lead people on with a narrative that was only to be click bait

[@ml-uo7gt]

@@DubsBrown how was it click bait? He said he wanted to make a permanent gamecube collection as it was his child hood dream of owning gamecube games etc and that’s exactly what he done. He just ended up refining the original list of games he made from 75 to 56 with 10 of them games not even being on the list, there’s no harm in refining your collection with games you prefer to have is there?. The majority of the games in the sell pile weren’t even on the list and were extra games he came across during the hunt as he was hunting for any gamecube game he could find was he not?

[@MrSmufta]

Personally, I would of made a segment called Keep or Flip and it's you playing and reviewing every game. Or a few games every episode and seeing you uncover gems, and finding the doo doo...

[@DubsBrown]

This is like GotG and their purging episodes. They go into why they can’t keep a game and how it’s always about refining the collection. So much classier

[@davidb69]

No one collects to just sell off, it’s hypocritical of being a collector, you are a KZbinr who uses reselling to get views , I truly don’t think you are a hardcore gamer , but probably have been at one time . I have 1600 plus games in my home. It’s been built from years and years of collecting. I have had financial difficulties and I had stuff not linked to me when I was younger that I parted ways with in order to grow my collection. I get aggravated sometimes with these videos cause you say something and then a month or 2 later just flip flop

[@MrMajorEar]

Yeah, I get you resell games and I have no problem with that. As people have stated, you were given some deals based on the idea that this was a collection you were invested in. Instead, you have shown that this was just about profit, and you led your viewers a stray.

[@phantomhiphop]

He’s selling them because In reality he ain’t gonna play none of those games, He probably plays 2-3 or those games.
