The Dragon ball game is a hollywood video type of case art. They Made them for their games if im not mistaken

[@chrislagerquist591]

I bought a ton of games from Hollywood video when they went out of buisness they all came with the reprinted cover I am sure that is where that game came from

[@joman66]

I was racking my head where I had seen that type of reprint backing from and I was thinking the same thing. I'm almost certain it's from Hollywood Video as well!

[@wesleychapman9572]

Yep, definitely a Hollywood video reprint...but the barcode on the back makes me think it was from the GameXCrazy side of the store.

[@fbguy796]

Could be from Movie Gallery, as well. Although Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video might have been owned by the same company?

[@wesleychapman9572]

@@fbguy796 movie gallery bought out Hollywood video in 2005 I think. So we are all correct😃

Hey Caleb. I've been a subscriber now for a while and been meaning to say I truly enjoy and appreciate your channel. You seem like a genuine, honest person. Hard to come by these days. So thank you for the frequent videos. Whenever you post a video I tend to put aside any problems/frustrations I have going on and I just focus on your enthusiasm and passion for your craft; as well as your sincerity. It is as informative as much as it is entertaining So thank you again.

[@PhoenixResale]

What a nice thing to say, so glad I read this one! Thanks for the support!

I heard that you came and purchased alot from my local store here in Clarksville TN. The owner is cool aswell as his store. I am glad you found my favorite game store and am looking forward to seeing the video over the massive pickup you purchased. I wouldn't blame you on making the three hour trip back to his store for more purchases!

That seal on the gameboy game was a re-seal. When I worked at Fry's, we used to re-seal our games with the exact same shrink-wrap.

So the story behind those reprinted cases (this may be wrong but this is my knowledge of them) there was this movie rental place called Movie Gallery they also had video games but every time they got one in they used a reprint cover.. I bought a bunch of games from movie gallery and they all came in those cases

[@itsmuggle9798]

Indeed

[@alexarreguin2830]

A new banger of a vid

[@MSUHitman]

Something I just don’t understand is how Disc Replay & others of their ilk aren’t in the STL area, but they are in smaller metro areas like Indy, Louisville, & Lexington.

[@MSUHitman]

Yeah don’t come to STL unless you’re going to go to Trade N Games in Fenton, MO. Beware you won’t catch him slipping though on anything that isn’t a recent CE game. Caught him slipping twice in the last year plus (one to resell & one for collection.)

[@theebaykid4179]

[@zlk718]

Have you covered how you pack these games and consoles when you ship them to fba? I used to resell amiibos on amazon years ago that I would source from south Africa and australia.

[@GAWDZ_GAMING]

So you literally went to my 2 local game stores like the exact locations I go to on Washington st....hopefully one day I’ll run into you that would be INSANE!!! I go to those stores about 1 time a week....that disc replay usually isn’t like that but in the past month it’s been pretty bad there’s literally nothing on the shelves like usual

I lucked out recently and got a galaxy 3ds edition with Pokémon y, heart gold, soul silver, platinum, omega ruby, alpha sapphire, ultra sun, ultra moon, two monster hunter games, and fire emblem fates for $330. Pokémon game prices are crazy right now so hoping to make a nice return on this buy.

The Dragon Ball Z Game Art is from Hollywood Videos Game Store called "GameCrazy" it was their store within a store.

[@abeezysportsxentertainment]

I miss GameCrazy, they was ten times better then GS.

[@Agito56]

@@abeezysportsxentertainment the back is from Rentals. They got rid of the original cases for rental games.

[@TheMightyWumbo]

Disc replay is amazing, Not sure which one you went to, but I go to Naperville and downers grove in Illinois

[@tbader20]

That is, indeed, a Hollywood Video reprint case. I always groan when I see them instead of original art, BUT, a part of me thinks these rental versions will be sought after someday. Kinda like my Blockbuster Video Virtual Boy.

[@PNO_YouTube]

Thank you for commenting. For some reason I kept thinking it was Blockbuster or something similar. Glad to know its Hollywood Video and MAN does that take me back. In my city, Riverside California, we had those stores MANY years back and it just takes me back to when life was fun. I still have a few of the Hollywood Video cover art for some of the games in my collection. Again, thank you for commenting because that just helped me complete my thoughts on what these cases were in my collection.

Really enjoying your channel Caleb - I found it after searching for PS5 pre-order squabbles and came across your video. Slowly working my way through the rest of your catalogue. Refreshing to find an ethical reseller who produces enjoyable and informative content. Sub'd.

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks Drewbo, glad you’re enjoying!

[@MSUHitman]

That Beyond Two Souls PS3 Steelbook at Half Price Books was a GameStop exclusive (missing slipcover,) unsure if that has retained any value.

[@SHAMPOOGOD]

Instead of reselling these games why not play them?? It seems like you don’t appreciate video game culture. I hate seeing people find good deals on fantastic games, just to sell them. You’re the reason I spend hundreds on some of my favorite nostalgic games man.

[@PhoenixResale]

I appreciate reselling culture. Sorry it’s more expensive for you, but it also allows people like me to pay off debt or go on vacation.

[@diegokasady]

Its part of the game shampoo god

That intro was A1!

[@MSUHitman]

That gold Wii Classic Controller Pro is from the Goldeneye 007 bundle on the Wii, maybe that’s why you couldn’t find a separate listing on Amazon.

You can look at eBay!

@@PhoenixResale yes i know right now its only a 4 dollar flip . im asking if you think its a good future investment to hold onto?

Ahh man stickers hurt my soul, best thing I've ever seen is a small piece of string inside the case with the price label attached to it with scotch tape. Keep it up Phoenix, loving your content. BTW that switch game "BALAN WONDERWORLD" is awful... should be a great flip in a couple years if the sales don't pick up.

Target had those Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon at 19.99 back in December and January and I'm pretty much selling out of them now on Amazon at 50 bucks. I think if you send those in for Q4, you may be able to get close to 100 I bet.

[@sekainosenshi_1412]

It's from Hollywood videos and game crazy. Those all went under here in CA but that's where the cases are from when you buy the games from them

That DragonBall case that had the writing on the back was from Hollywood video and there gamecrazy gaming side. They use to do those backs to inform customers of the game and to easily identify there rental copies.

[@JulianGulian]

Those annoying huge price stickers. Do you take them off with a heat gun or goo gone for the sealed copies?

[@alekszandor]

Cubic ninja for 3ds was really expensive at one point in time. Due to some kind of exploit if I recollect correctly... Have no idea what it goes for nowadays.

Also, my roommate just moved out and he left behind a gameboy. I'm not too familiar with gaming systems but the back says model: ags-101. And in it was a copy of Super Mario Advance. I know you said handhelds are harder to come across these days so if it's something you would want, let me know. I dont really play and would rather it go somewhere with a purpose instead of collecting dust.

On Genesis, you’re looking for the exclusive RPG’s & their versions of stuff like Contra & Castlevania. The Disney games are better on Genesis than SNES generally also. Only sports game to lookout for in the big money range is Tecmo Super Bowl 2 (low print run like 30k copies.)

[@jackofallgamesTV]

Dragon Ball back label is a Hollywood Video Rental copy. Your name is Phoenix. But I recognize The Exchange as a Cleveland OH based chain. But I don't recognize other places. Does Phoenix refer to rising from the ashes of the Arizona city? If not Phoenix Arizona, what big city do you use to guide friends to your house? (Not asking to be guided to your home. BTW I'm one county southwest of the county that houses Cleveland Ohio.) BTW how is the "pre crash" treasure hunt where you are. After Macklemore's Thrift Shop song. I never found pre crash stuff in the wild.
