I wonder how thrilled james was when caleb sold off his entire gamecube collection after the series.

$450 for the cubivore bin? Wtf I was thinking $700 would be more than fair. You literally bought that 1 game and got everything else free

Because of this series I bought a GameCube cleaned everything, bought a Gameboy Adapter and bought Pokemon colloseum. More games coming 👍 cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

Why would you say cubivore it’s self is 400 and then offer 450 for the whole bin? You should hook the man up man.

I did a quick calculation on the value of all the items in the Gamecube tote just to get an idea of the value to assess the $450 purchase price. Caleb was correct that the majority of the value comes from the Gamecube games themselves which total $1,014 (on eBay, so Amazon would likely be more - Also, I have Cubivore valued at $475 which is in line with eBay sold comps). The rest of the value comes mostly from the Gamecube console and controller. On Amazon, I found the Platinum and Indigo bundles going for $180-190, I'd assume the black one is the same. Misc items include the Halo Reach collectors box, which goes for about $15 box only on eBay, and $40 complete with the game (Which James said he sold Caleb previously - So I assume here that it will be complete). The big Xbox One Battleborn box set I couldn't find, the game only goes for about $5 on eBay so probably not worth much more than that. There are two Super Mario Bros Power Up Card Games, which sell for $13.99 each on Amazon. A Megaman X6 PS1 game (disc only) is $10. Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES is $15. The 2 Mario Kart Wii Figures I couldn't find exact comps, probably $10-15 apiece on those, but probably more trouble than they are worth realistically. There were also 8 PS4 games, 22 PS3, and 8 Nintendo DS games in the tote. Mostly items worth $4-8 each, but a couple of $10-18 games. I imagine most would just get traded in, so let's just say $50 total for those 38 games. There are probably a couple of miscellaneous items that I overlooked, but I think I got the vast majority. In total taking the lower estimates on the items with a range, comes out to $1,361.98. The $450 offer comes out to 33.04% of the pre-fee value. I know Caleb has stated in the past he likes to be around 40-50% of after fees value, so he's probably in that range once fees are taken into account. I initially thought the offer seemed low, and maybe Caleb should have worked out a deal separately for Cubivore. Since stating its value to be in the $400 range, then offering $450 for the entire tote just rubs people the wrong way.

Ebay fees 15% - 204.29 Shipping fees 10% - 136.19 Taxes 15% - 204.29 Total: 544.79 (give or take a 100) That's assuming he sells it all at Market value, which he isn't it in to squeeze every cent out, so to turn the items he needs to be under Market value. We are also assuming that he sells everything and there will definitely be bricks liquidated for 1 or 2 dollars. Maybe even a bulk deal for free similar to this. Ooh by the way he spending the time to post them and fulfill the orders. The prices aren't great in a whole sell, I would have sold the valuable myself and brought what was left, but as you will find this is extremely common and I'd you had a great opportunity I have no doubt you would perform similar to Phoenix.

Wow that nes empire strikes back alone can go for $1000, and the cibivore $400, so with just 2 games you almost have your money back. I'd say that's a deal of a lifetime

I love your seller's vibe! A great video. I mostly appreciate the respect regarding the offers you made. And he was super nice accepting them. Kudos to both.

You definitely did him dirty on the gamecube box. Being the gamecube gambit episode I thought it was about getting money to add to the collection not making profit. If that game wss worth minimum 450 surely 450 for the whole box was way too low. Should of been more like 650. Your still gonna walk away with games for the collection and profit. Not good Caleb:(

To anyone casting stones: You're ignorant to buying in bulk/repeat customer advantages that goes across all lines of business,, coupled with the fact that all this man had to do was show up with some bins that he probably acquired extremely cheap from clearouts, etc. A lot different than having to do cleaning, pricing, pictures, description forms, selling, customer service, shipping, paying fees, paying taxes, tax paperwork, etc etc.
