It's a shame about the shop that didn't honour their price - I would assume they just looked up the game when they went to clean it. You absolutely did the right thing by not giving them your business and walking out of there. At least now we all know not to shop at Middleton Pawn - not that I would, given I'm not in the US!
@@choopahcobbler7 I think it's because they didn't want to get proved wrong when they blamed him for getting a video game out of the back of the counter because if that's not the case then y could he not film in there
Firstly, you did the right thing when it came to the pawn shop. I understand shops being cautious of scams, but doing what they did do you will only cost them more customers in the future. Secondly, I seriously have to say thank you to Caleb for such a cool series and Riff for the funny edits. People can say what they what, but Caleb and Riff really are a great team.
That shop was definitely very cheeky to say those things, accusing you of lying. They most definitely looked the price up while they cleaned the discs for you.Im glad you walked away from them but it's a shame you missed out on the games. Best of luck tomorrow your challenges are alway so real and exciting to watch. I know you'll get more tomorrow.
You were right to walk out,and you handled it very well. My question is, don't they have cameras in the shop? Couldn't he of looked to see where the game was? Just seemed sketchy to me.
I’m in the UK so the laws might be different but from what I know it’s actually illegal to look at cctv if you’re not certified. Even if the cctv is for your shop, you’d still need someone to come and view it for you because otherwise if you take it to court, you could be accused of tampering with the evidence even by just watching it
Seems like that store realized what they had after you got excited about it. They looked it up, and tried to play stupid. By the way these videos are perfect right now. I'm thinking about collecting and I'm starting with PS3 and PS2
I don't know why - but I imagine the guy from the pawn shop that called you a liar to be just like the "Comic book guy" from the Simpsons. "WORST CUSTOMER EVERRRRR"
Keep it up! This series is awesome and don't let other people put you down. We just keep moving forward and dont let one business like that ruin this amazing content you are putting out. Love the work and can't wait for this whole series!
Bro I was just feeling burnt out yesterday kind of sad because I couldn't find anything.. Thanks for showing us you have those times too!! Great series!!
Can I just say I think one of the things I love the most of these videos is that they have so many ps1 songs. The ps1 had some amazing music and I love it!
Good on Caleb for blurring out and not giving info for the bad pawn shop, but seems like viewers have found it and are tanking the Google reviews anyways. I guess a valuable lesson for any business owner, be good to everyone you work with because you never know who they might be.
Picked up a PS3 Folklore game for 3$ at my local store. Comps are $71.00 for a complete copy. Also bought sealed Original Xbox games for a few bucks each as well. Bought also today a PS2 with games for $30CAD
I'm a N64 fan but I absolutely enjoy watching the playstation project. It's all about the hunt for those epic games and unfortunately the shop lost out on free advertising
I love the content! That guy at that pawn shop was being unreasonable. Bad days like this make other days a lot better. You can do this! You rock at this! I can’t wait for the next episode!
You did the right thing. You never attack a customer like that who's willing to buy stuff from your store. People like this will go out of business and have their inventory picked up for a fraction of the price when they go through tough times.
Awesome video. Admire you walking away after the price change. While PS2 is probably my favorite console of all time, PS1 feels a little more nostalgic and pulls at my heartstrings the most. First console I ever had at home. I still remember the day we got ours in crazy detail.
Keep it up Caleb! 100 games by the end of the week or not, this content is fun and wonderful to watch while I eat my chicken. Making fun content is the most important victory and you're well on your way
I had a local store that used to do that shit. It would be priced on the floor then they would check it and try and reprice it higher if was going for more on ebay
You did the right thing to walk away. I Did the same thing at the worst game store in Michigan. Literally makes you sign a form to walk in saying you can’t review them with bad reviews online. Also they take a copy of your license in order to go in. On top of that any game you select off shelves they change the price at the counter after looking it up. New Super Gametime in Southgate MI.
I saw it in one of the stores, and I'm surprised no one recommended it, but you absolutely have to pick up You Don't Know Jack for PS1 at some point. Legendary series and wonderful game
If pawn shops ever treat you badly, you know you are not to do business with them again. Thing is, while a large inventory can be amazing. I usually am cautious about it because they can also mean their pricing is terrible.
I would have pulled the trigger on the Phantom Menace game for sure... I loved that game when it came out. Also, don't beat yourself up about that guy. He was in the wrong and should not have treated you that way no matter what.
How do you remember what your last sentence was when you're doing that intro? That's pretty impressive and has a nice flow! Your video making skills have come a long way
you did good, I would have said ok well take care and have a good day. no wonder they have a crap ton of games they will never sell through there stuff treating customers that way.
Good job leaving that Accusatory pawn shop. If your uncomfortable with the deal its best to walk away, and not feel obligated. PS1 are just not as available as they used to be. You'd probably have an easier time attempting this at a convention. MDK is a great shooter with a sense of humor. I would have grabbed that from Game King. Look for either of the gundam battle assault games. They were amazing ps1 fighters. I have fond memories of unlocking all the secret characters on that.
Honestly phoenix is such a good guy, the cashier at the pawn was a jerk to him and he didn’t expose that pawn shop and tell others not to shop there nor did he talk badly about the cashier like others do
Well at least now everyone will know to not go to that shop to get their games, and if they do at least they know what's going on behind the scenes. especially with rude employee/owner
I'm glad someone suggested Legend of Dragoon because I was literally about to type in the comments, " ah bummer you didn't look for that game". Heck yeah! Its my most nostalgic game for ps1
honestly, if i was in a local mom and pop shop and they were doing that to me and i was being honest i would just leave too. you did the right thing in my book.
yesss this series is awesome. I love the ps1 and ps2. they had such an incredible library of games and I was hoping to see a series like this come out. I absolutely love the ps2 and I choose it ovwr ps1 or ps2. spent hours upon hours playing the ps2 plus I have a buddy who lives the ps1 a lot so we exchange jokes on how 1 is better then the other and have a great time with it.. Love the series👌
Tbh you gotta get the small soldiers game. That game is the only reason I wanna fix/buy My old/new playstation. You got syphon filter which is also one of the games I always went back to. But my 5 favorite games were small soldiers, toy story 2, medi evil, syphon filter and the lost world Jurassic Park game. Definitely recommend all those but I know some might be 15-25 dollars. Wish you the best also hope you get to play all of them.
Crazy that he acted that way over 5$. He could have handled that many other ways that are less accusatory but like you said it's his business he can run it however he wants (for better or for worse). I really enjoy the series so far, I think as long as the budget is in a good spot, you'll find a gold mine of games and get as close to your goal as you can by the end of the week!
You seem a very honest guy, so I know your game was the price you stated. The shop owner should have an inventory to check the price against. He lost sale so its his bad luck
Yeah that’s happened to me twice with my ps2 and my console still can’t get it to read half of ps2 games. And they refused to refund my first console so they gave me a replacement with a different one and it still didn’t work.
Gotta be honest, you definitely handled the situation way better than I would've done personally. Pretty much calling you a liar to your face...I'd have told that dude off so hard it wouldn't even be funny XD
US market is crazy compared to UK. The fact you can buy DS Lites for $42 which is £35 and still make profit, its easy to find DS lites in the UK I bought 2 for £4/$5 but they only sell on ebay for around £18/$22. There's hardly any way to make profit second hand here as there's only really 2 pawn shop chains and they mostly price in line with ebay but you can catch them out with some prices and then just getting lucky in charity shops. Also Asda which is Walmart, asking to check their stock and scanning older titles they have that have gone to clearence
I know this is old but I think you definitely handled that pawn shop situation as best as you could. They were already rude to you two seconds into stepping in with the "hey dude no recording". I'd bet a million dollars they looked up the price of the game hoping you wouldn't catch them while buffing it up for you to seem sly. Either way, I'm dodging that place!
I need y’all’s help! What is the song playing in the background after he got off the live stream and sold the game cube games? It gave me such a nostalgia trip, but I literally can’t figure out what it’s from. 😂
Pawn shops and goodwill stores need to realize people go to those stores looking for deals, not to pay what they can get things off of eBay for. If they had better prices they’d sell more and not sit on stock for 10x longer than they should. It’s especially annoying with Goodwill because their inventory is ALL FREE!!!
That’s good that you didn’t give them your business man it’s their loss. At the end of the day they just keep piling up the inventory and not selling because of that kind of customer service.
Great video however ooo that pawn shop interaction made me mad! Honestly the whole time you were going over it i was saying i would have just said ok no worries im no longer interested in the games anymore and left. Im glad at the end of it you said you werent going to do business with them. That made me feel better though it sucks about the games though.
You did the right thing walking away from that pawn shop. There is a reason they have a bunch of inventory not moving.
^This
Yup exactly
It's a shame about the shop that didn't honour their price - I would assume they just looked up the game when they went to clean it. You absolutely did the right thing by not giving them your business and walking out of there. At least now we all know not to shop at Middleton Pawn - not that I would, given I'm not in the US!
Think I know why they wouldn’t let him film.
@@choopahcobbler7 I think it's because they didn't want to get proved wrong when they blamed him for getting a video game out of the back of the counter because if that's not the case then y could he not film in there
Exactly
@@UnknownArab_64 well now I know where not to go to get my games if I decide to travel from state to state to look for games that I want
@@choopahcobbler7 He should have told them to go check their cameras.
It's their fault for not putting any price stickers on their games. You handled it well. Most people would have had an argument.
Your right on that one
No I wouldn’t even argue I would just hand them the games and walk right out
Yea I would've went off on him then left he did the right thing tho!!! 💯
Firstly, you did the right thing when it came to the pawn shop. I understand shops being cautious of scams, but doing what they did do you will only cost them more customers in the future. Secondly, I seriously have to say thank you to Caleb for such a cool series and Riff for the funny edits. People can say what they what, but Caleb and Riff really are a great team.
Totally not your fault dude, the fact that they don’t price their stuff is their problem. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Glad he walked out... "you can't video here dude" is not a greeting when you walk into a business 😒
@@joshl5658 it's a perfectly acceptable response. You can't feel entitled and film in every place
What they probably do is the classic "let me check" look it up behind doors, and then price it. Very suspicious they wouldn't let him film either.
AEP shut up
That shop was definitely very cheeky to say those things, accusing you of lying.
They most definitely looked the price up while they cleaned the discs for you.Im glad you walked away from them but it's a shame you missed out on the games.
Best of luck tomorrow your challenges are alway so real and exciting to watch. I know you'll get more tomorrow.
They were aggressive towards you more than they should’ve before you had 2 feet in the door at that pawn shop.
You were right to walk out,and you handled it very well. My question is, don't they have cameras in the shop? Couldn't he of looked to see where the game was? Just seemed sketchy to me.
Also wouldn't he know what was behind the counter since there aren't many games and he stares at them the whole time.
I’m in the UK so the laws might be different but from what I know it’s actually illegal to look at cctv if you’re not certified.
Even if the cctv is for your shop, you’d still need someone to come and view it for you because otherwise if you take it to court, you could be accused of tampering with the evidence even by just watching it
Yeah you were in the right on that. Shady business owners definitely don’t deserve your business
Nah man, you handled the pawn shop situation pretty well. Keep up the great work, love your videos!
I better hurry....about to finish episode 7 right now hahaha
🐐
Can't believe you passed up that driver 2. Hands down my favorite PS game of all time
Seems like that store realized what they had after you got excited about it. They looked it up, and tried to play stupid. By the way these videos are perfect right now. I'm thinking about collecting and I'm starting with PS3 and PS2
Where are you gonna get your games from??
Your moms house
I just found a playstation Final Fantasy VII factory sealed for $3 at a thrift store this week!
I don't know why - but I imagine the guy from the pawn shop that called you a liar to be just like the "Comic book guy" from the Simpsons. "WORST CUSTOMER EVERRRRR"
Keep it up! This series is awesome and don't let other people put you down. We just keep moving forward and dont let one business like that ruin this amazing content you are putting out. Love the work and can't wait for this whole series!
i think the rain was raging with you haha it just stop when you're done talking/ranting
at 7:02 on the bottom shelf I randomly spotted Sammy Sosa Softball Slam which was a random game I loved as a kid!
Is he going to sell off this collection when completed as well?
You know he will lmaoooo
Bro I was just feeling burnt out yesterday kind of sad because I couldn't find anything.. Thanks for showing us you have those times too!! Great series!!
Can I just say I think one of the things I love the most of these videos is that they have so many ps1 songs. The ps1 had some amazing music and I love it!
We really appreciate that!!!
Do you know what the music is called when caleb puts the ps1 games on the shelf?
14:42 what song is this called and what game is it from? I can’t quite place my finger on it!
Opportunity is everywhere so check the gamestops
I know you’ll sell most of them off but still fun to watch. Also I like how much editing has improved
Riff from pixel squad does the editing it’s all ways been the best but the content sucks
Best reseller videos
Siphon filter was an underrated game back in the day.
Good on Caleb for blurring out and not giving info for the bad pawn shop, but seems like viewers have found it and are tanking the Google reviews anyways. I guess a valuable lesson for any business owner, be good to everyone you work with because you never know who they might be.
What pawn was it?
Picked up a PS3 Folklore game for 3$ at my local store. Comps are $71.00 for a complete copy. Also bought sealed Original Xbox games for a few bucks each as well. Bought also today a PS2 with games for $30CAD
Maybe that is the reason why that sketchy pawn shop has so much stock of videogames, nobody wants to buy them there.
Loving this series. This one hit different but a good different ❤️
I'm a N64 fan but I absolutely enjoy watching the playstation project. It's all about the hunt for those epic games and unfortunately the shop lost out on free advertising
thrillville off the rails was my childhood
PHOENIX RESALE COMING IN CLUTCH WITH THE UPLOAD
I love the content! That guy at that pawn shop was being unreasonable. Bad days like this make other days a lot better. You can do this! You rock at this! I can’t wait for the next episode!
You should do a series where you get 64 N64 games in a week
You did the right thing. You never attack a customer like that who's willing to buy stuff from your store.
People like this will go out of business and have their inventory picked up for a fraction of the price when they go through tough times.
Awesome video. Admire you walking away after the price change. While PS2 is probably my favorite console of all time, PS1 feels a little more nostalgic and pulls at my heartstrings the most. First console I ever had at home. I still remember the day we got ours in crazy detail.
That pawnshop that didn’t let him record just lose a lot of costumes!! Wow
Keep it up Caleb! 100 games by the end of the week or not, this content is fun and wonderful to watch while I eat my chicken. Making fun content is the most important victory and you're well on your way
You have to get fear effect 1 and 2, Dino Crisis, and Bloody roar
That's why i would go to Cartridges, i recently bought 13 games and a controller for the PS2 and that includes Smackdown SYM and the SVR games.
Is anyone else absolutely floored at the way Caleb spelled Syphon Filter on the game list? It's killing me!
I’m just glad you stood up for yourself
Thank you for making this series❤️
I had a local store that used to do that shit. It would be priced on the floor then they would check it and try and reprice it higher if was going for more on ebay
If you look closely on the back of the Final Fantasy 7 (black label mainly) there is a typo.
What's the point ? Hes just gonna sell them to do an Xbox challenge in two months time
You did the right thing to walk away. I Did the same thing at the worst game store in Michigan. Literally makes you sign a form to walk in saying you can’t review them with bad reviews online.

Sammy Sosa softball slam is a amazing game l, use to play it all the time when I was a kid....saw it on the shelf in game king.
Gotta be honest 😂 these new videos are funny as hell man 😂😂😂👍 keep up the jokes
Just picked up Mega Man X5 for $14 on eBay in mint condition. Got Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for $12. Building up my collection again.
I would have pulled the trigger on the Phantom Menace game for sure... I loved that game when it came out. Also, don't beat yourself up about that guy. He was in the wrong and should not have treated you that way no matter what.
song at 10:45?
How do you remember what your last sentence was when you're doing that intro? That's pretty impressive and has a nice flow! Your video making skills have come a long way
keep up the grind Phoenix. love your videos man. try and come to Missouri more if your able to.
you did good, I would have said ok well take care and have a good day. no wonder they have a crap ton of games they will never sell through there stuff treating customers that way.
Can someone plz tell me what the music is called when caleb puts the ps1 games in the shelf
At the end I forgot you’d say tomorrow, so awesome there is everyday content !
Good job leaving that Accusatory pawn shop. If your uncomfortable with the deal its best to walk away, and not feel obligated.

Look for either of the gundam battle assault games. They were amazing ps1 fighters. I have fond memories of unlocking all the secret characters on that.
I live next to shylocks pawn there's a few other places over here you could have stopped at.
If you find Army Men 3D you gotta pick it up. First videogame I ever played and is a genuinely good game.
Honestly phoenix is such a good guy, the cashier at the pawn was a jerk to him and he didn’t expose that pawn shop and tell others not to shop there nor did he talk badly about the cashier like others do
Well at least now everyone will know to not go to that shop to get their games, and if they do at least they know what's going on behind the scenes. especially with rude employee/owner
I cant believe that no one suggested vandal hearts or vandal hearts 2 they are my all time favorite games ever made
I'm glad someone suggested Legend of Dragoon because I was literally about to type in the comments, " ah bummer you didn't look for that game". Heck yeah! Its my most nostalgic game for ps1
You’re welcome. :)
Yeah that game is so good, same with tales of destiny, but I doubt he would be able to get a copy of that one.
What app you use for check the price of games?
How is FF9 not on the list? The best Final Fantasy game!
Sorry to hear about that pawn shop interaction. You did the right thing though, and you handled it professionally.
honestly, if i was in a local mom and pop shop and they were doing that to me and i was being honest i would just leave too. you did the right thing in my book.

Keep up the great vids..editor riff keep doing what you do..and Caleb dont worry about spelling syphon wrong on your board... 🙂
I wonder what Middleton pawns reviews on google look like? Lmao
Bruh day's come, and go. But you keep on shining. I hope you have a blessed trip, and may games flow like the Mississippi 😁

I agree with you. I have had something like this happen to me in the past.
You should have picked up those driver PlayStation copies at the pawn shop that was better than the previous dump!
You seem a very honest guy, so I know your game was the price you stated. The shop owner should have an inventory to check the price against. He lost sale so its his bad luck
You did the right thing Caleb. Walk away without the sale.
Syphon Filter* haha. Good game too. Great new series.
Yeah that’s happened to me twice with my ps2 and my console still can’t get it to read half of ps2 games. And they refused to refund my first console so they gave me a replacement with a different one and it still didn’t work.
Good for you for walking out of that pawn shop. What he said was in my opinion not acceptable for a business. Great video!
shoutout to editor Riff for the music selection 🔥
Do you know what the music is when caleb puts the ps1 games in the shelf?
Gotta be honest, you definitely handled the situation way better than I would've done personally. Pretty much calling you a liar to your face...I'd have told that dude off so hard it wouldn't even be funny XD
Oh dang! I used to go to college in Berea!
I have a shop similar like this as well they don’t have any prices on there games they look up a price on eBay and say that

he's going to 2 dudes in tennessee wooo saw him there lol
I listen to so much of the Ape Escape ost that I had to pause and make sure I didn't have it open in another tab, very nice choice 👌👌👌
Man really loving this series sucks about that pawn shop but thier lost I'm sure on the next one u will win big.
Have had this happen going through one dollar vinyl record bins, bring it upfront to check out, then they tell me its $45.
what time of the day are you doing the whatnot auction?
Pawn shops and goodwill stores need to realize people go to those stores looking for deals, not to pay what they can get things off of eBay for. If they had better prices they’d sell more and not sit on stock for 10x longer than they should. It’s especially annoying with Goodwill because their inventory is ALL FREE!!!
That’s good that you didn’t give them your business man it’s their loss. At the end of the day they just keep piling up the inventory and not selling because of that kind of customer service.
Quality over quantity buddy! I'd trade both of those mint Final Fantasy games for any of the others you've picked up so far.
Great video however ooo that pawn shop interaction made me mad! Honestly the whole time you were going over it i was saying i would have just said ok no worries im no longer interested in the games anymore and left. Im glad at the end of it you said you werent going to do business with them. That made me feel better though it sucks about the games though.
