I have absolutely NO problem with how/what people collect. If you want your game collection for shelf art, okay. If you want to play it everyday, that's awesome. If you want to horde all those games because it makes you feel good, then do it! There's no right or wrong with this sh!t and we have to knock gatekeepers off their high horses. I have a very modest retro game collection and I dont play these games every day. And I'm fine with that. I started collecting, again, because I was feeling nostalgia for those great days growing up in the 90s and I wanted to go back. It's all good, do what makes you happy.
Hey I know that guy!
Nice collection man, even the stuff you parted with
That's alot stuff Shawn! I don't have my old game systems anymore, nes and up. So I emulate my past games. It's easier to scan through your games than switching CD's or Carts and saves you a lot of space.
It’s Stevie Richards!
Hello rgt
Me too. He's my favourite Nintendo RUclipsr!! 😅😂
I hate that people are giving him shit. He’s absolutely right. Selling individual items on eBay can make you tons of money but once you have a huge collection good luck trying to sell it. They struck a fair deal and I’m sure he didn’t get full market value for it all but I’d take the $40,000 to just be done with the hassle.
Exactly. Selling stuff off is a full time job on its own. So the time Shawn has saved has to be considered with the cash $$$
Yeah if he wanna sell each item one-by-one would be a full time job for years and then he will have no time to continue as a youtuber. I think he did the right thing. He saved YEARS, and that's a huge profit.
Just imagine trying to sell each item one by one! Write down all items as a list, try to come up with a fair price tag, and keep track on each "customer" that wanna buy something. And make sure that the customer will transfer the money to him. And also to ship all items to all customers. Only a few people might live close enough to come and visit and pick the item at his place or outside.
RGT did the right thing! I'm happy for him! And also happy for the buyer! And I enjoy the videos related to this deal!
@@cjeelde yeah it made good content lol, people don’t understand bulk pricing concepts I guess. I’ve seen these types of hate comments on a lot of videos, saying people like him cause price hikes for games. But if you can’t afford a retro game, emulate.
I get that you want to get that quick money to move it out, but to sell to this clown?? I would have paid the 40k or more just to not let it fall in his pocket, but to massively build up my own collection. Bc you know you have to work with flipping things to make money to buy what you want, yet he could have had a single whatnot auction and got double if not triple his price in one single night and would have known that he was helping the collector community instead of this.... an no matter how much he wants to be Mr Crabbs he will always look like Squidwards angry sister with that dusty squirrel lip.
No hate on RGT. It’s his collection to do with as he pleases. And if there is a value to a reseller, it’s taking a bulk collection of your hands.
That said, I am not a big fan of RUclips resellers.
Bro, I can watch hours of people talk about their experience on how they attained certain games and their history with it. This was such a good video
This video really shows how high class these 2 dudes are. Really good stuff!
PMSL! "high class"
Reminder: you're not getting scammed if you're the one who sets the price. RGT knew exactly what he had and settled on the price himself. Just like I knew I was basically donating my collection to a local retro game store years ago rather than getting anywhere close to it's real value, but I just wanted it gone due to life changes. Sometimes being able to get rid of a large collection at once instead of trying to piece it out for months is a better option if money doesn't matter to you.
I agree but this is a RUclips video you can’t believe anything we don’t know behind the scenes
Two plane rides is and also all the other work to buy the entire collection is insane. RGT was right to sell at a discounted price
The discount was much bigger than plane rides and stuff, but you're right, a discount was deserved for taking it all at once.
This was a wonderful video. Shoutout to RGT85 to allow you to document this. It was a tough decision for him but one that does find him at peace and as he said “it’s all about the video games!”.
The Louisville Slugger was a nice touch, reminded me of the bottles of wine we found on the kitchen that were gifted to us by the sellers of the house my wife & I had just closed on.
Overall well done!
hell yeah. Congrats Caleb. People have no idea how hard it is the get rid of a collection that huge and they also have no idea how much work it is to sell it or have the cash to buy one. Way to go all around
Gotta love RGT. He's actually my favorite Nintendo RUclipsr!
He isn’t a Nintendo RUclipsr 😂😂
“Not a Nintendo RUclipsr”😅
@@cornball3448 okay cornball
😂 🤢
😂😂😂😂😂
Damn that boy phoenix BALLIN, love to see it. Good move on both ends, really cleared some of my questions as to how collectors feel having these big collections.
Two of my favorite YTers! Hopefully you two can do more colabs in the future! I really enjoyed this video!
People saying being ripped off however to see all those items on eBay he would pay fees on each then shipping then deal with any returns and issues then have the time to load up every single game online. once you factor it all in there's a reason why people do this its for convienience and peace of mind. Nice to see you both happy with the deal and F the haters they mostly salty
Awesome video! Great buy, and congrats to RGT for a fresh start.
glad to see rgt85 being happy !
Two awesome guys. Anyone who is a gamer with retro games is a good dude period.
You got brown on your nose
..until you go deeper in the basement and find the bodies
For anyone who thinks RGT85 got ripped off, he is extremely satisfied to be rid of the games, especially all at once
^this. People don’t realize how hard it is to sell this large of a quantity of stuff
@@TheDreadedZero COme on now if you have a system in place it doesnt take long
@@RubMySweatyThighs He had over 13,000 items he sold at once. Yes, if he sold it one by one he'd make more, a lot more, but you really don't understand that it would take years to sell it all. He took a "loss" and in exchange everything he wanted gone is gone in a few hours. Also he tried selling some games at first and no one would bite.
I am happy for Sawn moving on, it's not healpy habit of being a massive horder.
As a re-seller myself we have to make a profit...it's a business that we run and there is risk and reward...it is what it is.
The coolest crossover that none of us expected. Best video yet
Recently found your channel about a month ago and im hooked! interesting to see all these deals take place. Keep up the good work
Nah he scams ppl
@@OfficialBo420 He is a Flipper.What do you expect?Just sad that all that good stuff goes to Amazon......
Just Woaw, that collection and that basement-tour, i'm stunned.
I did exactly the same thing and it was one of the most liberating experiences ever. My place was starting to look like a junk shop. The only physical media I buy now is first party Switch games so I can trade them as soon as I'm finished because they hold more value than PS5 or Xbox games. I have a laptop that I run emulation (Arcade/PS1/PS2/DC/GC/PCE/MSX) with my Series S controller and a PS5 and Series S where everything is digital. People talk a lot about physical games, but I've been through that phase and come out the other side. You think you're going to play it all, but you don't. It just takes up space. Then there's the remakes. RE4, Ikaruga Remastered, Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime have been fantastic and 4 games I've taken out of my GC emulation collection. I hope to see more. Even though I emulate, I also have 101 Arcade Archives games, 30 ACA NEOGEO games, all of the M2 Shot Triggers, Darius and Ray Force games on PS5, my 360 collection on Series S and all of the Sega Ages games on Switch with all the Live Wire Cave shmups and a whole bunch of arcade style games. I love that M2 and Hamster exist and take emulation so seriously and eliminate latency where others just don't bother.
I love the convenience of it all. I can just start a game with a controller.
Broooooooooo so happy yall made this collaboration video!! I've been waiting for you to drop this one love
Nice. Been waiting for this one. I watch renix pesale mostly, but this video is the best I’ve seen on this channel in a long time.
This is the collab that everyone wanted and didn't even know it! Love this!
This is basically me i only collect things i remember pre college and wanted or played. He has a ton of great stuff that many people will enjoy.
I like it when rgt85 just talks normally instead of his content of always complaining
All the work that goes into trying to resell a collection this big is crazy. I get overwhelmed when i have a couple boxes of stuff to list. Great buy thou awesome collection.
Love it! I am at the tail end of selling off my game collection and focusing on toys. Great video and awesome to see RGT is happy.
Love this. Really awesome to see you two collab. Always love the creator collars.
Glad to see my favorite Reseller RUclipsr and Nintendo RUclipsr collab!
RGT is such a cool dude. I love his channel and I learned about you through him
Awesome video great to see behind the scenes of the RGT85 man cave!
I can't believe our favorite Nintendo RUclipsr sold his game collection😮💨
Least favorite*
Well he still has a big chunk of the collection
He’s not a Nintendo youtuber
Was going piss poor broke obviously literally going happen to every guy in life.
@Doug Ashby being a Nintendo RUclipsr is risky🤣
RGT sounds like he wakes up and smokes blunts on the daily
Seeing the whole collection was really satisfying. I also loved hearing some of the background on certain items and games, gives them some real sentimental value. Love to see it, keep up the good work bros 👍
Wow, you bought part my favorite *Nintendo RUclipsr's* collection 🤯 *IYKYK*
The awkward moments when you both want to hold the item.. I can't unsee this lol
The gameboy?
timestamp?
@@goodnightmoon 20:23
Glad it wasn't just me that noticed
27:00 "No REGERTS" Absolutely amazing quote for the ages. Poetic AF
@RGT85 wow can't believe you decided to Sell your Collection. But, Seeing who bought all your stuff is AMAZING. Congrats to you Phoenix for acquiring this collection .
Big fans of your work! We have learned so much from you!
After watching RGTs video of this I finally figured it out. Caleb reminds me of Flanders from the Simpsons. I can’t believe I missed it. Okelie Dokelie!
*Shady grifter Flanders
I've been watching RGT, its a really nice guy, and he said he was selling his collection a while back, because of several reasons. Must have been a though decision, but i know several collectors who have done this, and selling is not the end of the world. Life is not just collecting, theres a lot to do, but if you want to collect just to display items, its fine, same goes for playing the games, or even if it just for fun. Whatever makes you happy its just fine.
And as a collector pushing 39 , i understand that sometimes you have to let go, even some items you have fond memories with it. And as someone said, he's happy with this.
Also, it was a nice gift Caleb, he love baseball! Awesome video as usual Caleb, keep it up!
Been waiting for this! Crossovers are always great lol
two favorite gaming youtubers together today is a good day
Finally I've been waiting for this to dropped
DDR Mario Mix! the only Nintendo game where Waluigi is the final boss.
That was incredibly brave of RGT85 to take the steps to reduce the things out his life that were weighing him down and not bringing joy. I love the arcade room. And holy heck is that Panasonic cube sweet!
Brave???
Shawn is the best, one of the first retro gaming youtubers I ever started watching!
It's sort of strange that you're referring to him as Shawn haha I didn't even know that was his name.
You mean Nintendo RUclipsr, right?
That was a quick change of heart with RGT85. Not even a year ago he said how much he still loves collecting and don’t see that changing anytime soon. I guess things can change fast at times
Probably has to do with the fact that he almost died
Also he still collecting
28:35 I have to confess that’s a great collection, a great buy, and a great way to make a new friend. I really hope I get to meet you both one day.
😂😂 ridiculous you took all that to go from Kentucky to Connecticut I can't stop laughing I really can't
Not gonna lie, I'm always going to be somewhat jealous of the RGT85's/Brittney Brombacher's/Pat Contri's/Metal Jesus Rocks/John Hancock's, etc. to be able to own such a nice, large home to house their collections.
The vast majority of the high end of my collection is Tetris'd in my living room closet or in the new storage locker I just had to start renting last week.
Great colab with you and RGT 85. That had to be somewhat scary driving that collection from Connecticut to Kentucky.
I love this video!!! This is amazing how people connect through video games!!!
Enjoyed this video/ colab! I'm glad everything worked out for everyone 😊
Oh look its rgt85, my favourite Nintendo youtuber
Now we need the editor riff and rgt crossover
Been waiting to see this one!
Great video Caleb! I knew RGT85 had a big collection but wow!! Keep the videos coming!
It's simple, RGT isn't a shelf collector. It's okay to let things go.
I'm just glad you're keeping PZD and Dragon Force Shawn. I was worried for a second
This dude is SO me! I rely so heavily on emulation and an overall digital collection of games and became obsessed with collecting boxed toys. Glad to know I'm not the only one LOL.
Yoshu riding Mario was the best part of the video😭
Been waiting all week for this
Wooo Let's Go! Phoenix Realse & List is the vibe :)
When phoenix resale drops its a good day!!
It’s good to see he’s hanging onto Panzer Dragoon Saga and Dragon Force since they were donated to his channel. It would be kind of messed up to sell those two and not at least offer them back to the original owner first.
I had a big collection and I was living with friends and the situation turned sour and I had to sell everything to cover moving costs… a year later I was able to build another pc and I decided to continue my retro gaming through emulation. It’s the most convenient to have an external ssd with all of my retro games on there, even my switch games
What emulator(s) do you recommend? Do gamers need several different emulators for maximum exposure to all of the different types of games?
Great deep dive into one of my favorite Nintendo RUclipsr's collection
Yo that’s my fav Nintendo RUclipsr! Nice!
Who caught the "40k correction on the bat?" Nice video. Cool collection
We’ve all been waiting on this episode
I kind of did the same thing with my collection years back. I sold all my SNES, Saturn, Dreamcast, DS/3DS, PS1, PS2, PS3, XB games & consoles. Like him I just wasn’t playing any of it & could use the space for other things.
Feels like being a kid in a candy store just looking at all the games and cool stuff he has/had
IDK why people watch Caleb, then trash him for being a reseller. Like, have you even read the guys channel name? "Phoenix RESALE".
Forget ENDGAME this is the colab of the century
You really should have release this a soon as you could after RGT talked about it. I was excited for this video a few months ago. I know you schedule your videos in advance. But none of your other videos would benefit by being released earlier as much as this one.
In my opinion this video would have preformed even better if it was release sooner. Love the content, keep it up 👍
That is the best Nintendo youtuber on the platform
I have plans to sell some of my vintage collection, praying about it and I think the Lord just reinforced to me that you are the right person to sell it too.
The episode i've been waiting for!
Hi Caleb, would you ever make a follow up video to one of your main videos? meaning since you use expected profit to purchase more switch items, I thought it would be really cool for viewers if you could take all of the items from one of the videos you used to purchase more switch gear and show the follow up of what each item actually ended up selling for. Just a thought because I find myself wondering if it always ends up being what you predicted. Love your videos!
You guys in the states are so fortunate. Here in South Africa we didn't get like 99 % what I just saw in this video. But thanks to emulation we can also enjoy some of these amazing games.
Best resaler and Nintendo RUclipsr collaboration of all time
That custom Louisville Slugger was legit
Been so looking forward to this my favourite 2 youtube creators
RGT selling his collection feels like finding out there's no Easter Bunnny 😢
What do you mean no Easter bunny? Who poops out the chocolate eggs?
Great video! Love both of your channels!
I have been waiting for this!
Love that buddy is rocking a donut media sweater lol
RGT such a good Nintendo youtuber doing a great thing
Not gonna lie, in the 90's ordering games directly from the publisher was the way to go. I would always get Madden before it arrived in stores b/c I filled out the card on the first SNES release and they would always send offers to buy from them.
I stopped doing this after going to college, but a decade later in Nov. 2009 I got Dragon Age Origins CE direct from EA and it arrived on Friday before the Tuesday release.
I got rid of the majority of my collection over the course of the last 8 years or so for the same reasons. The games are playable a million different ways now but I held on to the stuff that means something. There comes a time when you realize these hunks of plastic can mean the world to someone else instead of collecting dust on a shelf
I forgot that Ys Origin was on the switch. Also that's one hell of a collection purchase. I didn't even know there was a Turbo Grafyx 16 mini.
Really enjoyed this one!
Thank you for saving his life Fénix.
I really wish I had this collection
40K IS ENOUGH TO REBUILD HIS MERCEDES 😮
Awww 2 of the best Nintendo RUclipsrs 😭😭😭
been waiting for this video
Wish you had a free Discord channel.. I don't trust having to be paid crap. Unless I was getting stuff for an Amazing Price. Which doesn't seem the case. Sorry.. also I have video games no one else has. So no loss for me :)
I perfectly understand why Panzer Dragoon Saga is the last game he’d give away. It’s my favorite Saturn game and it’s not likely he’d ever find another one easily.
