Perhaps Caleb isn’t the issue but maybe resellers his channel and others have inspired? People who go out and deliberately take advantage of people for pure profit. They salivate when they see a clueless mom with her son’s video game collection. Delight when they get $600 worth of games from her for $20. And then they brag about it on KZread. 🤷♂️

The problem with Phoenix Resell’s channel is that I think most of his subscriber base came on board when he was collecting Gamecube to try and get the complete set. So “collectors” were becoming his major subscriber base. So when he started selling off his collection immediately after getting the set he pissed off the majority of his sub base. I couldn’t care less what he does. I try not to judge anyone bc thats only for God to do. But also hating on someone bc of video games is stupid as hell lol

What’s crazy is in 30+ years when the squad are “old men”, they won’t just be thinking back to their childhood playing games but, the glory days they’re living in now with all the game hunting, NES pursuit, podcasts and expos. I can only hope KZread or some social media is still around so we can all still be a part of the extended squad.

Game stores will continue to be popular you guys have no idea about the Gen Z tiktok demographic making videos about having Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii and 3DS nostalgia. Some of the videos rack up like 11-16 million views on TikTok I see people going out game hunting and buying Pokemon Platinum DS or Mario Galaxy and a Wii or Halo 3 and a 360 for a TikTok video and all the comments are Gen z people wanting to do the same. Trust me as they get older they will go back and start buying their PS3/360/Wii/DS games and collecting physical media has become trendy and cool again with people that were only around the digital era going to buy vinyl or physical dvds

6:33 - Caleb answers GameCube gambit controversy. Actually a solid & mature response. I was collecting Board Games during the pandemic and ended up with cool stuff but not all of them ended up being played. I think It is important to sell or give away the games you're not playing and have no nostalgia or value for. We can't take all our stuff to heaven. Might as well pass on stuff that's not in use anymore. Completely reframed my view of the situation. However I do think Caleb should have kept his collection for a year before curating it because there was an emotional response that fans of the series went through.

Chris take about GameStop seems to track with what we’ve seen at our gamestops and we hit them every other week 5 of them in our area. They are a decent way to source for bigger value items for cheaper though since they don’t charge passed a certain value. They do keep some retro inventory in store not big they still ship the older stuff back to the warehouse. But they don’t get a lot of stuff. Except the rural ones seem to get more of the retro stuff than the ones in more populated areas.

@@realsteel7260 You have one example and love regurgitating it. If and only if GameStop has a game under pricecharting, and they rarely do, it's because they paid about 20% to the seller to obtain. Probably less. But GameStop used games are almost always junk. Terrible condition box, cartridge disc and usually a missing manual. Then they put two price stickers on the front and spine that make removal quite annoying. Maybe you work at GameStop or have some sort of nostalgia for a corporate chain store that's never done any worthwhile for video games, but me personally, I won't ever shop there again.
