Editor riff is a legend. Dudes editing is so good - he doesn’t over do it and is so clever.
“Is this a bad time to ask for a raise?” That killed me😂😂

Best video to date. Had a little of everything. Riff, a montage to your channel's history, Spanky, doggo, and a great tutorial on reselling. Cannot ask for much more as a viewer.
There is no better way to pass the time then with your videos! Thanks so much for posting! Yes, I am a Reseller and (small time) KZreadr and always love the content you bring. Fun Video - Good stuff🤩 Thanks for sharing!
The disc repair/cleaner is a definite good investment, time is money, and it’ll save you a lot of time and headaches
best of luck with your decisions for the future, Caleb! looking forward to following along, as always :)
I love the reflection you were doing in this video. what I can say is the best videos I love to watch is when you are out hunting for games and taking us along so please dont stop doing those videos.
Just discovered this channel a week or so ago and have been binging the hell out of it. Awesome vidoes!
Been watching for some time and it's been amazing seeing you go from strength to strength, slowly bringing in new people who compliment the business really well. Can't offer any advice on future plans, but i do know you'll make the right decision! As the business grows, find other people who will help and spend your time doing what you love, both in the business and out of it.
Congrats on the purchase. Your channel continues to inspire me to get into reselling. I’ve been slow starting it over the past month or so while I continue to educate myself on the business aspect and logistics of it. Keep up the great work!
So about maybe a week ago, I got tested for Covid and sadly tested positive. So, during my time in quarantine I had discovered this channel. Just wanted to say thank you for keeping me amused and enjoying the videos of your various bargain hunts while in quarantine. Made my time all the better

What I love about your channel ❤️ is that you are constantly making crazy amazing content
Love these videos. Keep it up!
Hey man I really love the videos and been binge watching for a while my only gripe I guess is the music in the background, at times it can be distracting with certain tracks and volumes but still doesn’t take away from the great content keep it up.
Love the content! Thank you again or another entertaining and knowledgeable video!
congrats on the purchase! Also, It should not be understated how much entertainment value Riff's editing adds, great work!
Loving all the videos takes me back to my childhood. Editor Riff deserves a raise BTW. Keep up the good work.
If you invest in a resurfacer get the Venmill Hybrid V2, it’s what I use at my Game X Change. Works really well!
You should look into the Eco Smart option (not the auto smart) - they have refurbished ones at $2,500. I've talked with the folks at Elm and they usually have some of them available, just not on their website.

Update: actually pulled the trigger on the Eco Smart today (refurbished). Coming soon! You can email their contact address and ask for Ralph. He’s fantastic and helped get everything squared away
love this channel. im not overly into video games but i love flipping things from pretty much anwhere you can find. I more enjoy you going to different places such as flea markets and pawn shops. my small hometown is pretty limited.
Caleb I think your idea with your own video game store is very cool I think you could make really interesting new videos about that if you would have a new big project like that going !
Long video, but a good one! Nice $8-10k profit. Also, you mentioned the idea of opening a video game store. Could you do something like that on a smaller scale like the shed in the middle of nowhere video game store? Maybe that would need to wait till your new home, but maybe you could find a spot like that. Just and idea. Also, maybe just work out of a rented office space. We have a place near me where they do mini storage as well as shipping, and shared and/or private office space all in one spot for pretty good prices. Maybe look into something like that.
As someone who just beat Dragon Quest VII, I agree. It's a good one to look out for and play through.
The cut in of riff, so good, love it!!!!
Truly astonishing how much work goes into this job
Dude! You need a whole video of reseller knowledge challenges. It was cool to watch him try to pick the correct game.
Living the dream man. I'd love to do stuff like this lol. I wouldn't know what to do with myself with all those handhelds 😂
I would consider running a "Warehouse" instead of a video game store. You can keep the the hours super short or do appointment only. Warehouses also tend to have lower overhead than retail storefronts.

subscribed! very transparent. I love it!
Love your video’s man ♥️
Love these videos!
That "is now a bad time to ask for a raise?" got me good. Good enough to subscribe. Well done.
the edits are hilarious . keep it up
You are not boring ! Your awesome 😎
So glad we got a long video
Don't just jump into a store then. Maybe do a flee market booth, since you already know which flea markets are good. That will give you a idea of what will fly off the shelves. Then after doing that or having spankie do it then you can go from there.
hahahahaha Riff at the end!!1 Great video Caleb!!
I recommend the ven mill resurfacers as well - have an older model and still does a great job.
loving the longer videos
Editor rift saying "is now a bad time to ask for a raise?" Killed me lol.

The Random Scott pop up was funny af nice cross over lol
Love the quick shot a retro rick hahhah!
I love ❤️ the fact that riff is the voice of your 🐕 dog. It's hilarious
Love your content
BRO Lunar Knights was one of my fave ds games, one of the few that stayed in my collection. makes me want to go ds game hunting again
I hope you find the wisdom you are looking for in your next steps. Thanks for taking the time to point me towards a copy of Paper Mario Thousand Year Door at Game Jam South!
that video now just unlocked memories. I had one
Caleb get a refurbished eco auto smart! It’s half the price and works just as well!! Make the jump it’s the best decision you’ll ever make
Finally a long video ! 10 minutes just isnt enough
Also give your video editor that raise, he cracks me up.
if you opened a game store you could hire the "if you do you're banned" kid lol
A great perk for Riff would be to plug his channel in the description or something. Found his channel through this video and love the content
Riff is the only one who can make sorting through bags of games fun to watch.
that videonow brings back memories. i still have mine and i have that same fairly odd parents disk!
In Phoenix's mind right now: Disc Resurfacer, Opening video game store, Disc Resurfacer, Opening a video game store. Choices man, choices.

Disc resurfacer now
I had a video now when I was a kid crazy nostalgia!
Seeing that videonow gave me so much childhood nostalgia
I died on the retro Rick part 😂
Lmfao dying laughing at the retro Rick comment you savage 😝
At 13:35, he is in Frontline Games in Clarksville TN. My hometown. That’s crazy!
4:31 ah yes, gex, what got me into this channel in the first place
truth be told i found your channel because of retro rick ! throw some respect on it 🤣🤣
Riff literally makes me LOL 😂
Hey man i love your videos! what app do u use to quickly look up current prices on stuff??
The video now got updated and was a solid portable video system
Could look at houses on outskirts with a bit more land and build a pole barn and run your office out of it or something similar. Get it out of the house but doesn’t push you into a store.
very god video. glad you followed up on this collection buy
Your chipotle problem killed me 😂🤣🤣

Get this man sponsored!
I'm sure you know but to check gba games you can look at the pins and see if there is a Nintendo logo on the inside
22:26 I felt that, I have a complete copy that doesn't work because of scratches
If you get the cleaning disc you can also rent it out to other collectors or whatever
I bought a VMI Hybrid 2.0 disc buffer after my work got one for each branch. It was like $1800 but I've saved so many games!
i love radiata stories i got that years ago used from gamestop for 14-15 i think i still have it too
just at the start of this video i see a lot of good games sitting in some of those bins lets pray they are complete because unless its cart based that always bugs me for my collection is having a game thats missing something or opening a case only to learn its a different game entirely
Not sure if this is doable or already been done, but it would be interesting to see a weekly selling recap video. Things you sold, how long it took, etc.
Editer Riff is the best, is it a bad time to ask for a raise 😆 🤣 😂
Sweet mother of gaming resell goodness !! Hope your profits really weigh out the cost you spent to acquire this AMAZING lot
I´m genuinely surprised you still haven´t upgraded your disc resurfacer considering the volume you have been buying for a while now. JFJ Easy Pro is a terrible machine when you have huge volume of games due to the manual labour. Eco Pro 2 is also a decent machine for $1,500 if Eco AutoSmart price is too steep :)

Not the chipotle 🤣
Wouldn't mind more chill behind the scenes type videos. Nice.
I have one of those machines. I bought it for $2500 used. I waited until I found a trustworthy seller and it was 100% worth it
I think it’s worth noting that your home office can work in your favor as a tax break I believe depending from state to state
Dude, thanks for sharing your thoughts. When I first saw your videos I was like this dude it's just a reseller, but no. You go beyond that. Keep the good work!
Editor Riff..... never change haha
24:40 You might wanna double check the Dreamcast game here. PAL cases open 2 ways and have 2 disc slots.
Hey man! Something to look out for when flipping but marvel movies with slip go for a pretty penny especially ones on 4K UHD so keep a lookout!
So do you ever plan on getting a proper office/warehouse. Just curious because surely that's the next step in expanding the business and allowing you more spare to sort stuff.
@greenreaper1985

It's a bad call, an office or warehouse just create overheads that need to be paid. As long as he has the space to store and process the games (which he seems to), any more space won't add any value

I mean the only reason to get a warehouse is if he decided to hire employees. If he keeps doing it all by himself it wouldn’t make sense.
17:57 no way I have that sealed I bought at a game store for 15 bucks that I never got around to playing! still have it :D
also i love the longer videos
Phoenix Resale Game Store, that sounds good
24:00 LOL i used to have a videonow as a kid, thats so funny. That was before smart phones existed
Hearing Spanky's quest music always hits the spot 💖

May I ask which spot is being hit exactly ; ) ? I'm joking with you, I don't want to be "that" kind of guy asking about something like that. Speaking of Spanky's Quest, isn't that a Nintendo Switch Online SNES game correct? Is it any good? I have a Nintendo Switch and the NSO + Expansion Pack membership.

8:39 lmfao !!!!! got em!
I think it would be a cool idea that if Caleb is able to finish this game cube collection that he treats himself to that resurfacer
expand small to a small out door shed at your home if possible like a 16x20 shed
Check by the pins for the Nintendo logo on that copy of contra! Looks fairly authentic, may be that the logo had the protective layer peeled off. :)
Hiring Riff was the best decision. I love it when he roasts you.
