I feel like I would be guilty of a crime if I didnt report a robbery
dayum you robbed that dude with out even having to wear a ski mask hahahaha
$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
This seller is a legend - he knew what he was doing and clearly preferred to sell to Caleb than do the work and sell them himself - super jealous of that sealed box
I wonder how thrilled james was when caleb sold off his entire gamecube collection after the series.
Because of this series I bought a GameCube cleaned everything, bought a Gameboy Adapter and bought Pokemon colloseum. More games coming 👍 cheers from Germany 🇩🇪
best pokemon game!
Mach doch! Wie viele games für deine collection? Möchte Mir auch einen kaufen!
😁
So fings bei mir auch an und jetzt hab ich auch einen eBay Shop um es finanzieren zu können 😅
@@thomascooper3616 Colloseum, Dunkler Sturm, Twilight, Wind Waker, Four swords, Mario Kart + Zelda collector, digimon arena 2, digimon 4, Mario Sunshine, luigis mansion , Pokemon channel, mario football sind so die Ziele. Nicht zu viel holen, das meiste wird jetzt auf der Switch gemacht siehe mario Football 👍
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.
Wow.... u must have no life 🤣🤣🤣 kid just scams the elderly... he feels pressured to sell and well he took advantage
The seller knew that the cubivore game was a keeper not a flip which played into him accepting the offer but also they have a relationship sometimes you give a little to keep the buyer coming back. It also sounded like the seller got more overall than he was expecting and it takes alot of time piecing out such a large collection
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.
I would like to see an interview with James on how and why he collected so much video game stuff.
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.
Guys, this dude's dealt with Caleb before. Weird how insanely triggered ppl are by some of these prices. He knows what he has, and if he wanted to sell his stuff for a bigger profit, he would've.
They're just butthurt because they didn't achieve the level of success that Phoenix has during his hunt. It's called a cope.
He obviously doesn't have the time or care to sell it himself. So selling bulk is his best option.
Well, he was definitely good to Caleb because Cubivore is worth $450 alone so if he just sold that game then ALL those other games were free. Caleb definitely has his privileges, however I can't hate on him for putting in the work and effort to get these amazing deals.
Yeah he openly said that the game is worth 400-ish, so even if the guy knew nothing else, he heard that as well and was willing to accept 450 anyway knowing that. No one can claim he took advantage of someone who didn't know
I feel like that GameCube bin was slightly underpaid for
Are you guys considering he owes eBay or Amazon around 15 percent and us government 25 percent he can't pay full price bec he owes money on every dollar he makes
@Dot Com It's not like the guy didn't know what he had.
I swear people think everyone can just dodge taxes he pays at 40 percent of value on games over 10 dollars for a reason
dude had the opportunity to throw another number back at him but he accepted
@@trueheart1372 This has nothing to do with taxes, you only pay taxes on profit. meaning its not a big deal to pay taxes, eveyone who runs a business monthly takes out a % for taxes. We dont think about taxes when reselling, we think about fees and profit after fees. taxes are there no matter what. sell a game for $1 or $10000 your paying the same % on tax. so its not even a thing to argue about.
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
James was better off trading it in to GameStop. #AnotherOneBitesTheDust
Yeah but instead of $1935.00 he would of gotten $19.35 😂
@@RedsMadness. nah he would’ve gotten $9.35 😅
I'm sure I'm not alone in this being my favorite series in the channel. Makes me brainstorm what to do when it is done...
The Xbox X-Change
DS for Less
The Dreamcast Blast
The Wii Spree
More 64
The Game boy Gauntlet
Destination Playstation
more 64 rolls of the toung so good
these are fire lmao
I'd low ball too...nothing wrong with getting a sweet deal/snag. But let's be real...he flat out robbed this guy. Lol...and that's ok.
That box of sealed games was highway robbery as well.
It's so weird because he almost has an obligation to lowball in order to leave as much room to negotiate as possible. Also he obviously needs to make a profit too, but the guy who's selling it to him must really enjoy being on camera or really like the reseller, because he never seems to counter the offers. As long as they're both happy
@@ThatDiabeticChemist in the previous video with him he realized the guy wasn't countering so he told him the honest value of things first before making his offer (usually 50-60%) and the guy still accepted. tbh he probably got the majority of this stuff for really good deals and it's all profit anyway. he said he got a lot at fleamarkets so it's not like he bought every single item new as it came out.
16:52 He said am I overpaying on some of this stuff? Like Booker T would say, “Tell me he didn’t just say that”
12:23 dude really said he hoped to break even knowing he was getting a massive steal 💀
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:(
It drives me nuts that the GameCube games on your shelf aren’t in any sort of order.
This guy is singlehandedly getting Caleb rich
Yeah it baffles me there's a 25k wait-list but these streamers like him and Rick miraculously insta approved. Then the simps buying a ceiling $250 mystery box for $500. Mega cringe
@@LuisDR1990 pretty sure its because they were sponsored...
@@LuisDR1990 For some reason what you brought up reminds me of the Tmartn (famous gaming youtuber) scandal where he failed to disclose that he was connected at a business level with a CS GO skin lotto website platform. Wouldn't it be hilarious if one of these so called video game collectors/resellers actually owned stake? Thank goodness most of them are dumb to run a platform like that lol
Look man, I’m a fan but you legit just paid for “Cubivore” & got the rest of the box for free. I know it was a bulk deal, but deff should of been a $500+ offer. All love at the end of the day.
That's what this series is all about homie. It does feel kinda sad to see someone "get ripped off", but also, maybe the guy was just happy to sell to him? I don't know really. Can't speak on the behalf of either party, but we wouldn't get these videos anyways if those deals weren't able to materialise.
I agree
He could’ve atleast given him more then just 100-150 per bin
Seeing cubivore and all those sell for 450 when cubivore alone goes for 500 is nuts and it's hard to see since Ive been trying to get my hands on cubivore for years
Be as upset as the person who sold it.
450 for that box is scummy
Facts, the man says “Cubivore itself goes in the 400 range” Offers: 450 with all the other quality titles in the box lmao.
Facts
@@evantyler1545 then he has the cheek to say people are haters and that he tries to give people fair deals when he’s openly ripping people off for everyone to see
He has to pay 15 percent to eBay and 25 percent to us government he tells them up front he offers 40 percent the guy knows what he's doing going full cash instead of getting payed where he has to declare the income
Highway robbery
This deal got me triggered. It can’t even be called deal, this is a steal. I don’t get how the seller could feel good with these prices, but still if everyone’s happy well thats a good deal…love your videos a lot btw
He knew the guy would say yes to any deal he threw out. This was just taking advantage of. "Cubivore alone goes for like $400.... How about $450 for the whole bin" like come on
That old guy was accepting way low prices maybe he's harbouring a massive crack addiction or something
You have a point but I’d argue that the effort to sell everything individually is always left out of the equation and it can be a mammoth effort.
@@buda3d2007 All this stuff would sell super fast and it would cost you like $50 in shipping supplies max. The money youd get for selling them individually vs bulk for what he got paid is not worth it. Caleb low balled because he wants to keep cubeivore for his collection so thats why he offered the game price for the whole bin. greedy
Quiet down hater hanks. This man has to make a living for his family. Respect the hustle
He's more generous than Retro Rick. Can't believe he tried to get 35 BOXED Master System games for less than 50 Dollars when 1 of the games alone was worth $70 lol
underpaid on the GameCube stuff.
You should start paying his tax bill then you can tell him to offer 65 percent instead of 40 percent 😉
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.
Imagine low balling people and then selling on WhatNot for 150% over retail...
Not a good look
Imagine having a business to manage and having to keep the water and power running. Tough actually getting by huh?
Yeah, I'd rather shove my stuff through an industrial shredder than to get ripped off by a dude that basically made the hobby a living hell.
i love this series, it’s actually made me go out and buy a gamecube to do this for myself lol
Same
Same 😂
@Dot Com don’t worry. i have one of those too :)
@Dot Com How do you think he bought it dummy
@@briandakins148 Caleb used to say the GameCube collection of his childhood dreams but here he says his childhood GameCube collection. He’s doing this to raise the prices so he can have a big payday in the end. He’s not a gamers he’s a con man.
The memories I have seeing the Gamecube games. Wish I had kept everything but now I'm getting motivated to start acquiring a 64 and Gamecube.
The GameCube game actually looks incredibly fun I might need to emulate that
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.
No wonder the gamecube prizes are up in the sky! People like you hype it up so much that now everyone wants anything gamecube. I highly suggest newcomers to hold off buying into all this crap collectors and resellers are asking for games.
I just got cubivore for free online from a ROM. I have GC loader PNP so I just put that on a SD card and I can play it on the gamecube. it runs better then the OG version due to way faster loading times
idk, gamecube has been expensive for the last like 5 years tbh, and the really expensive stuff has been high even back 2012~ because they were just rare games.
Yep I remember when I bought a GameCube with sonic adventures 2 and two original controllers for $45 back in 2012 at the flea market … now everything is overpriced and inflated lol 😂
@@TachibanaTengoku not this insane. Prices doubled in covid
@@TachibanaTengoku yrp
love how the old man agrees to any number you throw at him. you could probably throw 99$ and he be like...... *nods head" yup
Doing a deal like this to a pawn store or secondhand store is one thing but to bold rob that guy like that is rough. That game cube bin alone was worth way more. The PS2 bin was worth more… really seems like James deserves far more.
Nahhhh man, you talk about being fair with your pricing, you weren't.
James is probably the nicest person I’ve ever seen
Crazy how he finessed himself ! A deals a deal in the end if the seller agrees though.
I got a copy of cubivore CIB super clean for $1 like 2 years ago. I sold it for 400 within a week or so if I remember. I definitely wish I still had it.
Garage sale?
@@optimusp517 No at a estate sale.
Crazy. I was already happy with €150 for a Indigo Console with two original controllers, Ribbit King, Doshin The Giant, Mario Kart Double Dash, Zelda Wind Waker limited edition two disc, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Baten Kaitos, MGS Twin snakes. Sometimes.... It's just worth it.
@@homieBtotheJ dude wtf
I was gunna say the same thing , $450 for that box?!?!? That game alone is $400 dude and you had a bunch of classic games in there. I was expecting you to say at least $650
“You know could squeeze me for more”… dude,… too nice!
I’m watching someone getting robbed through my phone
Robbery…… poor fella. figured since he’s worked with you in the past you would’ve been more generous with your offers… might have offered him 20% of comps lmao
Lmao “ Am i over paying for things “
James is the MAN ain’t even worried about taking offers even if it’s a bit low. Makes me wonder what other gems he might still have lol. We need more James in the channel.
Yeah this deal was nuts I felt like you was telling him his got gold and offered him brass and he took every offer. You smashed it hear bro u was right to pay low this time, The hustle is real and that was the perfect time for hustle mode
I've done stuff like that too.. just bought an entire box or two -- because it's easier to check them later, on the floor in my living room than to scramble through them, outside in the heat, with bugs or drizzle..
450 for all those GameCube games with Cubivore and the console?! That guy got bamboozled!
The “Dearly Beloved” KH theme at the end was awesome as well!
Lmaooo that final box offer edit was perfect riff
I think James just knowing you were a true fan and seeing your joy made up a good chunk of the value for him in that deal.
That aqua teen hunger force game is something I’ve always wanted
I’ve got this game, because my elderly mom played this one but it wasn’t with the watch , just the PlayStation 1 game in its case…she liked it….and she was 74 years old before she passed away…..
You guys come here acting like if it was you buying you would pay more! Heck no! 90% of you all would had offerer way less. Dont come here acting like o wow he paid to little. Please bunch of fake people here in the comments. The man selling was more then happy to walk away for $2000 for something he prob got for $200 or less. Thats the way this works folks.
You were right until you assumed what he spent, which is definitely wrong
If you are into collecting GameCube games you should really save all GameCube games with the disc issues from GameCube games where the discs basically dissolve.
The artwork on some gamecube games crack but it doesnt affect gameply.
The data layer isn't at the top like on other games.
It also doesnt affect every gamecube game
Ive sold big collections of old games and cards before too and took a lower price because I understood they had to put the work into listing, packaging, and shipping each item. In my opinion it's fair, if I wanted the extra money I could have put in the extra work.
Yeah bulk is always hard to on the spot price....the GameCube games basically you got your grail game free lol......like what is the right percentage of an items value to pay especially if reselling? I know I paid $300 for a GameCube with 40 games and ended up instant selling for $1400 and got to keep one of my grails...... but my grail was only Gauntlet lol but I know you will profit very amazing on what I saw
Seeing someone say they don’t care about Resident Evil hurts my soul, but hey each their own.
Rip Lol
But let it be some random ass Pooh game. 😂
People talking about underpaying is ridiculous. What is he supposed to do is overpay? If you want good deals go hustle make relationships etc. I also guarantee people that is complaining about underpaying would try to get the best deal as well.
? He could have gave him a fairer price and still made money. 625 would have been an fair price on the cubivore bin while still making caleb money. Honestly really sad how ppl like u are defending it.
@@andrei4617 im not defending its just business thats all, you are not factoring time, materials, fees, reselling isnt a walk in the park. I always lowball. Why the heck do I want to over pay. Thats how business is caleb threw a number and the guy said yes thats all. But some how caleb is not the nice guy?!?! For low balling. Just admit your salty thats all.
@@omgitsmario7 bro its literally cube shit…If u know anything about cube he made bank. Cube is the highest retro gaming console in terms of demand. Thats all. Everything else he did kudos but that box alone was robbery. Still a fan of the channel but kind of disheartening to watch that imo thats all.
@@andrei4617 i know its for the cube but your missing the point, he threw an offer for the cube shit they guy said yeah. Who cares its business if caleb knows the value of stuff it’s because he did the research. The prices of things always fluctuate as well. Half the people that are mad about the deal is because it wasn’t them doing the deal. Should of collected games 10 years ago just like I did
i remember buying walt disneys world racing tour in a scholastics book fair ad in school back in 2004 i think such a great game
When he said it was 25 degrees, my immediate thought was Celsius (cuz that’s what we use in au) and that’s quite warm for celsius
That Brock theme deck is my unexpected winner of the video!
Edit: ATV Offroad Fury on the PS2 was my Dad, Uncle, and Grandpa's favorite game to play together at holidays, but it is the only PS2 game that we lost. That's another fantastic find!
GameCube gambit is an awesome journey so far
For my son!!! love the retro Rick throw in
It’s amazing these games are worth so much with age. Makes me think 🤔 what I’ll do with all my old stuff someday. Great video man, always informative ✌🏻
Now you just need the grail of all grails Pokemon Box. I will be highly surprised if you snag it for under a grand!
Robbery on the GameCube lot
I am quitting watching the GameCube gambit if I don't get a game review at the end. 😂
Also: editor Riff almost took me out with that Retro Rick clip
Us too! “ITS FOR MY SON”
I love the GameCube gambit series!
Daaaang you got another Grail!!!! I wonder if you'll ever come across the sonic and monkeyball combo
Ps2 smugglers run brings back some good memories!
450 for that bin. Might as well take his wallet at gunpoint while your at it lol.
That KH in the background just…mwah so perfect 👍🏽
im gonna try to do a 3ds gambit when im older
I just love your enthusiasm. You are one of my favourite flippers you seem like such a lovely young man
When I worked at GameStop as a 17 year old we would give those pics out for every gta pre order. I took 3 and lost them
Gamecube gambit is always great!
I just got a fat steal on Facebook market on an almost barely used 500gb Xbox One and a few games that were actually good for $100 easy flip thanks for giving me the idea
Love the shelving for the GameCube games in your office. Would love the link if it’s from Amazon? Great vid.
My man James got the hook up.
That framed blockbuster GTA poster is so absurd you have to keep it in the background somewhere
YOO that's my local Flea Market that's only like 5 minutes away! Unfortunately I don't see much of anything in there ever but that's cool!
Daylight roberry on Cubivore pile, not hating.
Love your content
Good find wish could find cubivore with a manual
Mr. Luke will buy you those two seal boxes for just $150 millions dollars. Go ask him by yourself, but you must find a sabers before to meet him.
Nice touch with the KH melody at the end.
That was solid, in my country for what you paid you would have gotten less of half but the markets are very different, great job.
He was fair he takes all the risk plus im sure the seller tried selling them already
I can literally still hear that silent rick cameo XD
Disney magic racing was literally my absolute favorite game I still have my copy and still play it!
I saw that Amazing Spider-Man 2, and almost fell out my chair.
This guy who collected all these things must have just been a great age to have that disposable income to buy all this stuff!! The gen who grew up with these things are freaking out. I know I am
I got a Wii with two controllers. A controller stand, a game, and all the wires for only 30 dollars. There were also two memory cards inside. And one paid for the entire Wii. It was a GameCube memory card
You're gonna resell the collection?
Can please advise if you sell replacement game cases or Provide a good link to where you can get them at a reasonable price
Great video man,thank you Uncle J for Cubivore!😊🍻🍺
$450 for that tote!!!! Wow!! I thought $600 you would say at least! Lucky bro! Im going for gamcube completion, my brother is doing snes and other brother is doing n64. Hope i get lucky like this!
You actually lose more money selling this way then selling to a game store. The Star Wars games total to about 750$. 150$ for the Disney racing with the watch. A complete Cubivore sells for 650$.
Had me dying eith the raspberry and the sigh. Just enjoying the GameCube gambit series
Insane robbery, you might as well have gotten everything for free
I dunno, as long as long as both parties are happy
So $2000 is worth nothing to you?
I just watched my whole childhood going through those bins with you omg thank you! JAK series was amazing! Contra and burnout 3 brings back massive memories! Overall good deal for those gems!
never too much megaman-X music. love it
