The real reason I stopped talking about OneUp

[@christophercousineau493]

As someone who is about to hit 5k in sales on Oneup, I love the updates and what you’re currently doing. Nice job!

[@SladeRotmg]

What methods do you prefer to acquire inventory? I tend to use only FB marketplace, but curious to see what you have been having success with.

[@TheFlippingAccountant]

Thanks for the in depth update. Glad the scan feature is working better because that can definitely be frustrating when a scan app doesn't work right. Keep up the great work Caleb!

[@xXTHEPHILLIPXx]

As you mention with the Football Game and Mario Game, could you add a “we buy *x* at this price:” option? And then once that deal has been claimed you stop buying at that higher price and it auto switches to a higher price to stop taking in so many

[@JH88539]

Thanks for sharing your insights & the feelings from Users. Cheers to more success

[@bbruins6]

I just sent you a small batch of games this week after meeting you at RWX this past weekend, your panel has got me very interested in starting to resell and you had some great tips. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@pnx_world]

You are on the right track with gradual changes definitely roadmap it so it allows you to iterate without having to complete make big u-turns

[@newenglandhustler8200]

I don’t understand how this business is worthwhile and profitable. Buy costs are way too high with supposedly thin margins. Turnaround time is awful too and he sunk $100K plus into an app.

[@droknron]

I think what you should do regarding changing prices is when a games price is going to go down, put a notice on it on the app saying: In 7 days the price we pay to buy this game will be going lower. So sellers know they have a week. As right now you're waiting upto a month to price games lower and that's hurting you and I think 7 days still gives sellers enough time to react in my opinion. You could even have it so these price alerts get posted on the same day every week if you wanted so sellers know when to re-check something they were intending to send you on the app.

[@logang7440]

I was held back before by the $25 per month due to not getting games in consistently enough to use it monthly. Looking forward to submitting a batch now!

[@kompressahdnb]

Any plans to make it a native app?

[@TheDoraLp]

At this point probably not.

[@vgamv]

Congratulations on the app Caleb, I’m probably gonna try it out and send some stuff in now that it’s free

[@MeezooMusic]

thanks for the behind the scenes insight Caleb, just got back into the app after a while and found that my only issue with it was fixed! So now I'm going through my entire collection and scanning everything in there, i might even use quickflips to sell some games to you as well! glad i saw this video

[@MattCobern]

Love all the updates and enjoy the web-app. Can’t wait to see what’s next for one-up

[@nicholastaylor9239]

Honestly the subscription was what pushed me away because like you said it didn’t justify the use. I am now back to looking in to it now that it’s free! I did have problems with the scanning in the beginning which also pushed me away. I’m down for the second chance! Thank you!

[@nkusters]

You could set bounty amounts. E.g. $50 for 20 copies of X, after that, $30. Then let people 'lock' certain bounty spots for a period (make sure they don't abuse it & penalize unfulfilled locks). That would protect you quite a bit against some stuff rushing in 😅

[@titansrule72]

that hustle. that is what will carry you through the tough transitional times.

[@ajsadventures601]

I dont use the app to be honest but im a fan of the journey the app has been on and ur personal journey keep going its been a fun watch so far

[@RetroGalaxy802]

Glad to hear all the updates! Keep up the great work dude!

[@DulacDat]

Honestly, I think it is fine if you update prices throughout the month. Things happen and you already are providing an amazing service for everyone. I feel like we would understand protecting yourself so you can continue to provide this great service to everyone.

[@RoloFilms]

If you want to give transparency to the users about the prices, you could set the price for X days and add a timer to the app which shows how long the price will be set for. That way people can anticipate a price change. One month is definitely too long on a market that fluctuates a lot.

[@Scarletpanda17]

And it works SO much better! Even the scanner. I also appreciate being able to make multiple lots

[@jeffreylandreneau3236]

I'll be honestly the silence of the app has been nice for me as a non American viewer I have 0 use for that app/buy list.

I’m still blown how you paid so much and it’s only a webapp. You sadly got screwed.

[@Pogmothoin17]

Thank you for videos like this man. I do something similar to you but with cameras and it’s great to have your insight

[@CoBrA2168]

Great update - much appreciated

[@nosam2474]

how does the app work. do you scan the game on and then send it off to where it says to and then you get paid?

[@ARHaslage]

Maybe the approach should have been an one-time purchase rather than wholly free to discourage bad actors.

[@bgubs07]

For people not following the rules with their submissions, just charge a 30% service fee out of the total payout to account for headaches caused by their carelessness

[@markalspaugh2321]

Does you app have an off switch. That allows you to let the user know that you are not buying right now?

[@markalspaugh2321]

Or can you add a limit feature. Like we will pay a certain amount for the first 50.

[@sgallegos702]

@@markalspaugh2321this would be the fix

[@TheDoraLp]

You should implement some kind of limit to stop buying games that you already have enough stock of.

[@ericortizbasketball7512]

[@boomerresellthis3689]

Have the app and will definitely use it! My question for you man is do you still do in person big buys? I've got a huge load of stuff and some definite collectors items that I would love to off load your way if you're interested! Much to much to ship!

[@phoenixasheslevelup]

What are you going to do now that Amazon is dropping the “Renewed” category away?

[@BGID7]

If they're dropping renewed then what's replacing it?

[@robertsonflipsales3979]

Did Caleb say he sells renewed items on Amazon? If so, he could just list them as used I suppose.

[@farmingsim9813]

What's your source for Amazon removing renewed listings? I can't find anything about it.

[@scorpionsen4302]

Wasn't able to convert to any other currency and it doesn't even specify if it is USD I'm just assuming. Would be more effort than worth to use on the fly

[@JewyCandy]

Then i would suggest making in your TOS to allow price changes immediately without notice. Its your app, you still need to make money too. Businesses will adjust as needed immediately. Thats the risk the user selling to you is doing.

[@MrMario995]

No way, are you saying it’s acceptable to advertise you buy a game at $40 per, someone sends it in, then the buyer gets $20? That would deserve major pushback

[@putridabomination]

Scammer mindset right there. Give people notice.

[@jmpillow]

good luck and congrats to your web app project..

[@redwrath5]

About the price thing, an alternative idea is to have the free people pay a small fee ($15-$25) per shipment. You could just take it out of the payout so no need for anyone to pay upfront. There could be some amount of money or shipments per month that reduces or removes the fee

[@calebkleven614]

I'm working on my first batch to send to him now. I had an account previously and I got the email that it was going free. Free is the only reason I'm selling now. I don't have the inventory to make it worthwhile otherwise. On top of that the seller pays shipping to get it to him so an additional fee at all I think would deter many people like myself.

[@redwrath5]

@@calebkleven614 ah the shipping is a very good point.

[@bgubs07]

Probably not $15-$25 for small shipments, but maybe set a fee like 7%-10% of the total payout. Otherwise, a lot of the small fish are going to avoid using the service entirely

[@cliffshockley4406]

I hate that I couldn't find any barcode scanning app to check eBay prices on books/dvds. They all require a USB scanner. If you ever added a "generic lookup" feature in one up for non-game items, I'd be interested.

[@XanderBroeffle]

The eBay app allows you to scan bar codes. Might be an obvious answer but wanted to share just in case you didn’t know.

[@cliffshockley4406]

@@XanderBroeffle Hmm, I knew about for listing item, not sure I knew for scanning items in thrift stores to see market price. I'll have to see how well it works.

[@DougieBoy]

It's super nice that the app is free, but you should not allow free users able to sell to you unless they have a membership? That way, you'll open the app up to more users, and you'll still protect yourself from people with bad intentions trying to sell garbage. Or withhold the funds from sellers until the games condition is verified. That may annoy some people, but most would understand. It's nice to see that you made it free, I'll use it now.

[@RedOliveIndustries]

I know you have your "unspoken rule" but I think if you could automate current buybox prices minus fees into your buy prices automatically, it might help lessen that time to adjust your prices as well as make sure it accounts for seasonal variability.

Can someone explain to me why he was ever charging users to use his app? He built it purely to simplify his business model. Are there lots of other services where you have to pay simply for the right to sell to them?

[@kithong3965]

He Gated the process because he pays way more than any other place and didn't want to be flooded by random sellers, he wanted to make sure he had a certain size resellers and gave them the benefit of getting membership for free for large batches. If it was free then to many small batches would be coming in and it's super time consuming to deal with alot of small orders at a time.

Love the hustle but too much has been invested and a widely unpredictable market. Nostalgia gaming was massive during Covid and post covid era when people were getting $600 bonus unemployment check bumps and stimulus checks. Now that we are in a massive recession and cost of living crisis. People don’t have cash to spend on inflated retro games that have been pumped up by youtubers like yourself. That has disenfranchised flippers you inspired causing the purchasing to decrease. It was just not sustainable unfortunately. Hopefully you made nest egg and can sell one up to a big name investor before it’s too late. Again love the hustle. Prayers it’s works out for you bro.
