The Strangest Pawn Shop I've Ever Seen

@@Garrettlynch33 eh that’s debatable because it’s literally like encouraging a scalper, but I guess everyone has a different point of view on what is acceptable and what isn’t.

so true

[@indatubesurfer]

The big red pawn machine is actually a simulate car for car stereo. So you can test and hear what the speakers/sound system can sound like in your car. They use to have them in Best Buy.

[@danielrobles8712]

Definitely learning a lot from you. I have traded 2 nintendo switch lites so far and I have doubled up on profit and one I tripled up. I even got a brand new sealed time splitter for gamecube. Thanks for all the great tips

[@_keiko_7]

Started watching 3 weeks ago, this is all I watch when I have free time! Great stuff

[@jesusjammmer]

Love your channel. When I am sick I just trun your channel on and it helps me get better. You make me laugh and smile at the same time. Like how you make your audience feel like part of the video. You are #4 favorite KZbinr. Thanks! Keep making videos; I'll watch.

[@TheFlippingAccountant]

12:58 that is all gold right there. Reselling is definitely a numbers game and the more places you shop at, the more opportunities you have, and the more profit you find. Thanks for sharing Caleb!

[@GibbsBro]

Seeing that Freekstyle GameCube game brought back so many memories! totally forgot about that one. I put tons of hours into that game on the PS2.

[@DitchDr101]

When you walk into a place called “Big Daddy’s Pawn” and palm trees are in the parking lot, you know there’s gonna be some interesting “Sheeeeeet” in there lol

[@mhbflips]

i live 5 minutes outside of memphis. ive never really had good sourcing trips there. hope you do way better in part 2!

[@F1Fast]

I went to 3 pawn shops here in antelope valley CA the pawn shops don’t even have 3% of what your shops have dry af here

[@sanesaint90]

Thanks for the consistent uploads. I started my own collection after watching you. You're an inspiration man. I've got some rare games if you ever want a hook up lol

i barely started watching your videos a few months ago but id just like to thank you. thank you for helping me get through school and stuff like that :D (youre like my favorite nerd ever (this is a compliment) )

Haha thanks Kanna!

[@jacobnewton2001]

1:34 if you came for the gas prices……

[@platinumshard8688]

Cool video, that last store, The Big Daddy Thrift, looked really sketchy, but also cool. My guess would be they were still kinda setting up shop, and when you got there it had not been fully stocked yet. Keep up the cool content dude!

[@MrHereticC]

Naw, that's just Memphis. They been there forever.

[@platinumshard8688]

@@MrHereticC Weird, it looked rather unfinished to me, with the flooring and empty spaces, but it could very much have just been that it is an unpopular store, and like you said it has been there for a long time.

6 hour drive + gas station pizza = a 1 and a half hour bathroom stop.

Haha I think you missed when I talked about the traffic jam

[@Term271]

Usually I don’t like resellers but ngl you’re like one of my favorite retro gaming youtubers

[@PhoenixResale]

Hey that’s a great compliment! Honestly I get pretty insecure around hardcore gamers/collectors for that reason haha

[@captainamerica1274]

The last pawn shop looked like a giant flea market minus the people that was wild

[@MSUHitman]

First time I’ve seen a Google Stadia in a pawn shop.

[@andysisk8429]

New reseller in Memphis here, made a plan to take a personal day Monday to spend the day sourcing. Then opened up KZbin and say today’s title. Hopefully It won’t be a total bust.

[@PhoenixResale]

This was filmed like a month ago haha

[@andysisk8429]

@@PhoenixResale I saw that. Big Daddy’s pawn used to be full of stuff a couple years ago but I think they kept getting caught selling hot merchandise.

[@andysisk8429]

@@PhoenixResale also wasn’t meant as a complaint or dig. Love your channel and have learned a ton from it. Was just super funny and random to see you coming here. Keep up the content.

[@ArcadeDude44]

A couple of years ago, after I moved here, I went to that pawn shop, expecting great things. Sadly, as you discovered, it was mostly junk. :( I work in Memphis, live nearby across the border in MS. I need to get to more pawn shops, I never thought there was much (video games/electronics) in them, but it seems that some do indeed have great deals!

[@retrogamingkings4136]

In my opinion these are your best videos!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!😀🕹

[@PhoenixResale]

Thanks RGK!

[@sethtanner1]

The at bats analogy is the difference between a full timer and a part timer.

[@MSUHitman]

One reason the XBox version of BttF isn’t as expensive as PS4, besides user base, is that BttF was a Games for Gold title for all XBox Gold members a month or so before it was delisted digitally.

[@lilrano]

Those are some of my favorite spots. Big Daddy Pawn was a Target store back in the day. I hoped you enjoyed.

[@chrishiggins5936]

Nice video bro as always. Intro music is on point.

[@MSUHitman]

Are the Rock Band 3 keyboards for PS360 not worth anything anymore? There was one in the bin at the first GameXChange.

[@nintenjoost]

Lets go🔥 nice vid Caleb 💪

[@jasonjones649]

I live here in Memphis and welcome to the baron wasteland lol. I had to laugh when I saw you at Big Daddy's Pawn. That used to be a Target until the area got so bad and everything started leaving the area. The funny thing is it is one of the biggest pawn shops you will ever see and the slowest at the same time

[@RetroHabit82]

True! I've found more games at the Goodwill on Winchester than I have ever found at Big Shady Pawn.

[@jasonjones649]

@@RetroHabit82 I know. People really underestimate Goodwill around here

[@chasingtails7416]

14:49 - The middle part of this great nation is so wild still. "Check your gun in at the front or leave it in your car." What happened in that store for there to be the need for that sign?!!?

[@samtheelf7]

Looks like a store trying everything to stay relevant and open but nothing is working. I see a lot of pawn shops in my area in the same shape or worse. Went into one that had this huge floor space and just one shelf off to the side with some DVDs. Nothing else in it. I had looked it up and it had pre covid-19 pictures where it was stacked with old games and tvs only reason I went.

[@The-Ginjaninja]

Another Great Video! sorry I was a bit Late Today

[@west-texas9806]

Phoenix resale even though I barely found your channel maybe 2 weeks ago you have become one of my favorite KZbinrs. Also quick question how did you overcome eBay's selling limit. I noticed that new sellers are only allowed to sell anywhere from five to 10 items until they're selling limit gets increase

[@platinumshard8688]

I will assume it increases over time based on how popular someones store is, and their star rating. Other than that I have no idea.

[@PhoenixResale]

You can request limit increases periodically, not sure how often.

[@jmdilley02]

I am curious how much was the dokapon kingdom and ncaa football 14 at the 1st stop? The reason I ask is because when I paused the video at 2:54 I couldn't read the price for dokapon kingdom but it looked like the ncaa football 14 was only $34.99 which if that was the price is pretty good considering it can go for somewhere between $60 and $110 on eBay! So if it was $134.99 I understand why you didn't buy it! Also why I am curious about dokapon kingdom is because I have seen sold listings for copies of dokapon kingdom for the wii disk only go for $100 or more on eBay!

[@ziarre5797]

Do you find yourself traveling because of lack of stock at your local stores? I've noticed in the past few video's your doing alot of driving.

[@PhoenixResale]

Haha yup, also for events/collabs/to see family

hello i am starting to resell on ebay do you have any tips to start off or anything like that?

[@franciscotorres7638]

Man I just got hella lucky. Went to GameStop and some guy sold them pokemon black 2. So I bought it right away for $50.. Came in the original box and has all the manuals..

[@StrawberryRaine]

The New 3DS pickup reminded me of when I got mine! For my 16 birthday a couple years ago, I went to a random cash America looking specifically for a 3ds because I'd never own one before, and it turned out that the one I went to is where my step-mom worked at as manager! She was able to give me a massive discount, and I walked away with a black New 3DS XL for $20 and purple GBC for $10!

[@Zoey-uf1nl]

You have gotta be one of the best KZbinr in the world in my opinion
