Get a real job, you are nothing more than a vulture. I hope no regular person wanted any of those games / systems you bought, in the name of greasing the wheels of your slimy operation. This applies to you picking up Switches at retail stores and reselling them too. It's shit.

Man people are such haters! This guy goes around looking for the deals that everyone else can look for! HE found some great games and in all reality his purchases are helping the game stores that we all love stay in business! The game store where he spent 900+ it looked like he was the only customer in the whole store. So before you hate you should look at the good he is doing for our community! Keep up the great work Caleb!

Awsome love watching your videos 👍

Whenever I get games that have the security tags or stickers, I always use lighter fluid to get them off. It eats away the adhesive without damaging any of the plastic case, or cardboard as it even works on retro boxes. Have done it for years and never had any negative results from it, and works like a charm.

The copy of Lunar you got is the fan art edition which comes like that, so no outer box, ost disc, making of the game, cloth map or hardcover manual. The art on the cover matches the art on the outer box of the limited edition. The fan art edition is less common which probably has a greater value since its brand new.

Hey Caleb, nice pick ups! I would love to know your opinion on scalping. Not comparing your reselling hustle to that, I just no the line may be thin for you..so would you ever buy multiple pre-orders to then resell on eBay? Any experience in this? Metroid dread comes to mind. Catch you on the flip!

Caleb, when you get certain games graded do you put them in your collection or sell after grading?? Youre always finding some excellent titles. The profit margins you get are pretty nice. Knowing the resell skills you got are amazing. Myself, i buy and collect but, a buddy of mine tells me you want money sell some of your games.

That’s the best mortal kombat game ever. The story mode is insane.

Wonder if Caleb ever realized that the case on that copy of Marvel 2 wasn't original. By the way, that Lunar will probably be worth a pretty penny if it grades well.

Marvel VS Capcom games are fun, Marvel VS Capcom 3 on the PS4 also sells for around 80 dollars.
