Congrats Caleb! Also, really good transition with the dumping out your bag then turning the camera around to everything set up well on the table, I had to re watch it haha. Solid content!
Cool video, Caleb! I completely agree with you about buying something that makes you happy! I just recently spent $800 on a pair of shoes, something I always said I wouldn't do, but they were a grail of mine and a shoe that I've wanted for years! Nothing wrong with spending money on something materialistic every now and then.
That bidding last minute is the best strategy ebay wise. I learnt it the hard way once on a case xx. Now I bid the last 10 seconds every auction! 🤷🏻♂️ another reason is I often bid on things and change my mind after winning so doing it last minute is the best way to make myself follow thru lol
Awesome pickup man! I used to own mint cib copies of Snatcher, Popuful Mail, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth, Keio Flying Squadron, Crusader of Centy, Chrono Trigger, and more rpgs for snes, saturn, Genesis, cib collections of 3do and 32x, etc ... But sold everything 😭 Now my grail is a sealed Zelda Wii U console. Not quite as good, but still happy with it.
@@Inv_ity Makes me miss when I was a kid and was excited to look for new games, also makes me remember trading in Super Mario Sunshine for Hamtaro on dvd 😝
Dude nice find with The Legend if Zelda Twilight Princess game, man I was looking for that game for a while, ended up buying it digitally because I could not find one for less than like $70 dollars!
Congrats on the DQ Switch! A very cool looking console with lots of special touches! My personal grail that I currently own has to either be a complete in box Earthbound or brand new Gameboy Advance SP NES Edition.
Dude you deserve it man. You bust your butt making content and reselling you need to treat yourself it will motivate you to go harder. Even if you sell it down the road it’s nice to own nice things it keeps your spirits up when days aren’t so great. Enjoy brother!
8 hours on the phone and you ended up doing what I said to do anyway. :) glad it worked out in the end. They gotta fix that online coupon stuff. Super frustrating
Totally jealous of this pick up Caleb. Awesome that you were able to finagle all of this together to get it for free with GameStop points. Dragon Quest is definitely one of my favorite franchises of all the video games!!!
@@PhoenixResale - sorry GameStop made you feel so frustrated! I have no idea why a company would have a Points program and then not want to honor it. Great job on getting what you really wanted! Awesome eBay snipe!
Recently started watching your videos and I've been inspired to do some resale of my own. I've been in and out of game exchange about as much as the employees have and I happened across the metroid prime trilogy in the most mint condition possible the day it hit the shelf. Not nearly the most valuable game in the Nintendo collection but by far the most beautiful. Good stuff here man.
I recently did a shell swaps to make a diablo and s monster hunter edition switches but that's crazy i had no idea my dragon quest edition was worth that much. Makes me appriate it more
I think my 1981 MS. Pac man Upright is my crown jewel, she isn't perfect, but i only paid $30 on market place and local pick up, found a maintenance Manuel for it on eBay for like $10. So I'm $40 in on a full ms. Pac man Upright.
I used to work at a travel agency where you could only use 200 dollars in value when exchaging promotional points and only on each purchase, so most likely game stop has a similar limitation.
GameStop employees be looking at the beginning of the video of him explaining on how he's gonna make money, they be like that's illegal you're scamming us. 🤣😂 Funny how he's making money back.
I have a few jewel pieces - Sharp Nintendo TV and Majora's Mask Gray Cart Not For Resale are my two best finds at the yard sales. I made a big mistake of selling Snatcher though =/
Ugh, I feel your pain. I sold huge Sega CD, Saturn, 32x, 3do, Dreamcast, Snes, Genesis, etc collections right before the boom. It's crushing to think about it.
I just tried to redeem my points to buy a game online earlier this week, and couldn't do it either. I had to buy something in store, and there wasn't much I was interested in.
I've got a few jewels. A pokemon Banksy test pressing vinyl, a One of a kind Castlevania custom vinyl, a Nickelodeon ps2. Less than 50 made. And the most expensive game I've got is probably a complete Super Bowling on N64.
I don’t see it worth $900 it cost $370 in Japan very sad to see someone to agree to pay higher then they should your better off going to Japan buying it for the correct price scalpers suck they will scam buyers on ebay
That “projected profit” things is a joke I would love to know how most of that junk just sits on Amazon or eBay and Dosent sell ever. Like nobody wants last years sports games for almost as much as the new one
@@PhoenixResale of course. Lol So i am from west Virginia, but im only 2 hours from DC and 1 and a half from Baltimore so im not in the woods. So i am really trying to get into this and recording everything too.
That’s amazing that you got to use that many points because every time I try to use my points the network goes down and then when I try to call service IT help they give me a load of bullshit… fuck GameStop!
That Switch isn’t worth $900 the big deal is the box not the console if you compare the dragon quest 11 to the PS4 dragon quest 11 the PS4 is all blue it looks like dragon quest 11 the joy cons is what’s different you can just buy the joy cons separate and put them on any other switch you won’t be able to tell the difference if you wanted a dragon quest X1 console your should of bought the PS4 one the problem just it’s not a pro
@@PhoenixResale dude you really lost it if you used your points at GameStop to buy that console from Gamestop I would say that’s cool you got the system free but Gamestop doesn’t sell import consoles instead you went and spend $900 on ebay from a seller that bought it for $300 you made that seller very happy on ebay
@@PhoenixResale I agree it’s the box that looks good not the console paying $900 to a scalper half of that money could of got you this system plus 2 games for free off ebay who scams buyers on everything I bet you bought your PS5 console from ebay way to go bro you made the scalpers rich
Great work. I do bits of buying and selling but mainly console's. I bought a backwards compatible ps3 for £40 with 3 games. Flap was missing of it. I had a ylod ps3 sitting about so took the flap of it and put it on that 1. Sold yhe console for £100 a couple days later and traded the games in for £5. So £65 profit. Will put that towards my xbox mini fridge. Paid £20 deposit already so only got to put £5 to it now
I already have my grail.. But it's not game related. 1st big goal was I paid cash for a Harley Davidson this past spring.. Now I keep adding upgrades to it. 😂
@@PhoenixResale mine wasn't free money though.. I can't say I've gotten $900 in rewards points, ever! Lol I would've never thought to do this! ❤️ My next big goal is a nice used truck, big enough to haul the entire fam and my boat.. I'm sure it'll take years again. 😂
Well I would say that my holy grail collection piece I own is a copy of teenage mutant ninja turtles Turtles against H.A.T.E. Dvd that I have seen a few sold listings ranging between $90 and $280! Which I believe I technically got it for free because I got it in a huge lot for $70 and sold pretty much everything I didn’t need for about $20 more then what I paid for the lot!
@@PhoenixResale what made it a pretty awesome score was the fact that I found it on Mercari! The disk did need to be resurfaced a little bit because it was either dirty or had very lite surface scratches because it did skip a little on the 1st episode of the disk but now it plays perfectly with no issues! So have you ever found some amazing deals on Mercari for either your personal collection or resell?
I have a lifetime amount of over 300,000 and i only have 950 now..... apparently they expire 12 months after your last purchase...... im a freaking gamer how does that happen.... ugh
I have in my collection of playstation systems in my living room from the 1st playstation to the most recent one with games and controllers valued over $3k

Look me up on Instagram foxx_f150. I try to post when I can!
@@foxx3535 Curious. Why are you plugging your Instagram in a comment with 1 reply and you don't even say what you do. Just curious.

I miss GameStop here in Norway, it sucks not having a store to buy used games in and trade in games :/
Here in Bergen we barely have any video game stores. It’s so sad to see. :(
@@Inv_ity Makes me miss when I was a kid and was excited to look for new games, also makes me remember trading in Super Mario Sunshine for Hamtaro on dvd 😝
In my country we only have 1 game store game mania and it's soo soo busy there😩😭😭
Here in the UK we have Game as our only dedicated game store but can purchase in hmv asda tesco etc
Yeah! Same thing here in Sweden.

Yep, the 8 hours was still necessary though because my points were all tied up in unusable coupons
I mean,you do you man,i myself spent $679 for the monster hunter edition one,did not regret it at all
New to the channel and I’m loving it so far!!! Learned of it from watching Chase!!
Thanks Punisher, much appreciated!
800$ for a collection piece switch with extra accessories! Nice investment 💯👌🏼
For some reason Dragon Quest makes me so emotional. Holding that switch and controller would no doubt make me burst into tears

Nice work!
im loving the kentucky shirt on right now lol
Thats awesome! Really cool man. And if you can afford it why not.
Thanks Jay! My thought exactly!
Pretty cool 🤘

Are you still able to use points on gift cards in stores? I remember getting eBay gift cards with my points back in the day
But they do sell gift cards in store wouldn’t you still be able to buy those with coupon points?
