I can see how stores cannot accurately price everything compared to online and profit can be made! It takes a lot of hunting to know the prices from heart! Kudos
and luck........... you buy a $30 game for $15 you have not made anything tell you sold it. if you don't sell it................your out $15 resellers are the ones taking all the chances. "not speaking of the guy in the video, exceptions to every rule"
I luckily have a good relationship with my pawn shop as their "Video Game Customer" pretty much, so they always get me a good deal. They also sell at gamestop trade prices which is amazing in most cases.
Bro I love your videos. I've been a good video game buyer for years but since watching your videos I've really gotten into reselling. Thanks for having a channel for EXACTLY what I've been looking for 😊
Honestly i like those pawn shops i was in one in croatia i found some awesome stuff there like some old consoles and even got 4 games they were only 60 KM and id recommend goin to any pawn shop
What’s ironic is Caleb was probably the guy that showed up by himself or his one friend then tried to be the center of attention while people avoided him like the plague
Either I missed a vid or you haven't bought Zelda yet, that's gotta be your next buy! Love the content, subscribed at around 90k and the channel keeps growing!
Hi Caleb I know I have seen you come to Greenwood Indiana (near where I live) on your sourcing trips in the past in videos and I just wanted to let you know that the Cash America pawns in Greenwood are no longer carrying video games or dvds. The owner told me when I was in there the other day they are transitioning to just tools, guns, instruments and electronics, no more media of any kind because it takes too much space and time and sells slower so they arent taking any more in and once the small handful of consoles they have left are gone they're done.
Just a heads up all of my local pawn shops have been basically giving away games. Got 30 Xbox 360 games for $10 two weeks ago. From what I heard they are trying to get away from any physical media so keep an eye out for shops trying to get rid of inventory
I think the big city is better because since they would more likely get more items in bulk they would also bulk price them. And might be vise versa for smaller shops
You know, I am not a reseller but this definitely is showing me I should not be so picky about where I get my used games (or start buying 2nd hand consoles) because these seem to be decent deals for a collector/gamer! Any advice on signs that a game/console might not be functional? I know obvious scratches, discoloration, and warping on discs is usually a sign to be wary. I am less confident with 2nd hand consoles (I usually only buy new)
Always test the console before buying. Test if it outputs video, reads discs / cartridges, connects online, isn't super noisy or making weird noises (indicates that it's probably full of dust inside or that the thermal paste dried. This is fixable but it might indicate further problems to come, like YLOD or RROD), test all inputs (buttons triggers joysticks) of included controllers, check for drifting and battery capacity. Do the same for portable consoles. Testing all that shouldn't be a problem with local listings, if the seller is honest. Shouldn't take more than like 15 minutes also. As for online listings, only buy from a marketplace that will reimburse you if the seller scams you (eBay). Do all that and you should be fine.
Also make sure that the console isn't banned from online services. Sometimes the console itself is, not the accounts, so you wouldn't be able to play online at all once you own it. Ask to see the owner's online account connect, or connect a burner one so that you're not screwed if it gets banned for being on the console.
I’ve gotten a few steals on electronics at a pawn shop by me. You gotta really know what you’re looking for, sort of like the DVDs, but there’s some serious profit to be made at these pawn shops. They don’t really make money from the items, they make their money from loaning money.
3:18 the differences I see on the $189 (front) are that the direction pad buttons are different shapes compared to the $199 one(back). Also, the plus and minus buttons look like small squares on the front one. And on the front one as well, the a b x y buttons look bigger. So im guessing the one in the back is an official switch.
sometimes pawn shops asking 15 for games that are worth 2 dollars can be a good thing. for anyone bringing in games to sell to them anyway. if they are paying 5 dollars a game....you are buying them for 2 or 1....... bring them 40 games and triple up. i used to do that to this place called steelcity video. they paid 15 dollars for ps2 games. ebgames had some ps2 games for 3 or 4 dollars at that time. let me tell you...steelcity video had 20 copies of ONI real quick.
Hi phoenix resale I’m just here to say you’ve helped me to start my own reselling buisness but I’ve just had my first mishap shipping out I’ve mixed up a package and don’t know how I will get out of this
If you need to remove the stickers just use a hairdryer. Doesn't need to be very warm, they come off pretty easy. If the gunk is bad or its just super old you can use a little goo-gone on a cotton ball. Takes like
I just have one question out of curiosity...the Chronos game, you say you make $3 bucks after fees, but if you're shipping, and shipping costs on average $4, how you make any money? Or is it free if FBA?

I honestly have NO idea how Riff and PGS don't have more subscribers. Great content and a great group of guys.
I've wondered this myself. I recently binged the backlog and they have some great content over there
@@MetalChefDel better then calebs and ricks channel easily, and its only because you can tell riff is a genuiinely good person.
Retro rick really held them back for quite a while
@@rogerfederer3817 Honestly don't know what rick has to do with em. I only started watching them all like a couple months ago.

Always love the editing! Great job Riff!
Definitely lol
First your vids teach me to check out Half Priced Books for games. Now you are teaching me to check out pawn shops. Thanks so much! You earned a sub.

Yay! Caleb got a sponsor!
The Japanese import games would be good to get a couple together for a whatnot bundle. I would bet
100%
Great find lucky they had the Pokémon switch at pawnshop awesome find

I get so happy when you upload a new video and I don't know why 🤣
Same here
How about a challenge? I think it would be fun to see you get 5 switch games but you can only flip Nintendo games/consoles to get them!
Shoulda scanned some of those Blu-Rays aswell, some go for good money
at BJ’s, I got Battle Field V for $3 and Just Dance 2022 for $10 (both for Xbox one). Total Value: $40
Blue dragon plus is totally like a 15-20 dollar game loose like that; what even
Damn I needed that Pokémon white two that was next to your blue dragon game
Ummm… I believe going to chick-fil-a while thrifting legally belongs to me 😤
I'm honestly looking forward to seeing Caleb going to swap meets to hunt for deals

Theyre both official its just the joy cons arent
Flipping games! Im glad you guys bloat the market!
fantastic editing.
The backwards compatible ps3 is $1000, cmon caleb
im saying..
5:23 Rip Kevin Conroy you really were the greatest batsy.
At your last stop you should have picked up that Minecraft for the new 3ds xl it’s pretty rare
I like that subtle filthy frank song edit
Keep the sports game for ur switch collection
Always an entertaining video 😁
What app are you using to see how much you would make
1:42 I would imagine that PS3 Batman Arkham Origins is at least $10+ on Amazon
Woah woah woah, your editor is the retro liberty guy?
Man I am SLEEPING on Pawn Shops! 💰
Loved the knock-off music.
Great stuff man
sometimes pawn shops asking 15 for games that are worth 2 dollars can be a good thing.
for anyone bringing in games to sell to them anyway. if they are paying 5 dollars a game....you are buying them for 2 or 1.......
bring them 40 games and triple up. i used to do that to this place called steelcity video. they paid 15 dollars for ps2 games.
ebgames had some ps2 games for 3 or 4 dollars at that time. let me tell you...steelcity video had 20 copies of ONI real quick.
im watching on 360p n i can still tell the difference in the joycons , got mw2 running in background thats why
Times must be rough when your excited fir a three dollar profit
Love the price is right music 🎶 😂
Chipotle needs to sponsor this man and hold him to his word to never eat at Chic Fil A again
ty you inspired me to make my own game room ps4 ftuff pc stuff and nintendo stuff
not xbox
Shout out to the castle Tee Grizzley ran in there and It was the best thing that ever happened to him
Okay, you lost me at chick-fil-a.. gotta be the Cane's my man!
I typed that first comment too soon, because I would have specified that Nicholasville has the best Canes!
I paid slightly less than $30 each new for Luigi's Mansion and Mario U last year or so.
109 was a good price either way
Hi phoenix resale I’m just here to say you’ve helped me to start my own reselling buisness but I’ve just had my first mishap shipping out I’ve mixed up a package and don’t know how I will get out of this
I live in the good ole small town

Caleb this is the 3rd day you known me huh caleb
Finally another viddd
I can't seem to find the coupon for the 3-D printer
I couldn't either and I am actually in the market for one! Hope he uploads it
What's the app that you're using?
Hey Caleb do you have to remove those tag prices on sealed games to sell them as new or can you leave them on so you don't potentially rip the seal?
If you need to remove the stickers just use a hairdryer. Doesn't need to be very warm, they come off pretty easy. If the gunk is bad or its just super old you can use a little goo-gone on a cotton ball. Takes like
Thin Lizzy wants their royalties
wanna learn how you do resale to, tho I am from the Philippines.
I found a wii board at my goodwill
And some one painted it green probably the weirdest find ever
I saw some Saga Genesis games
What’s the app or website you use to scan the games?
hater hanks livid you didnt even look up the $15 game that is worth over $60 after fees haha. Luv ya Caleb!
Did you change your upload schedule?
I can’t find the whatnot link 😢
Squirtle Squirtle!
Riff with the filthy frank reference, my boii
Should i go to a pawn shop when i end up looking for my dads christmas present?
What app does he use to find game prices
I feel kind of sea sick dizzy kind of feeling because of the fish eye lens. Too bad I can't watch.
What are you looking the games up on
last guardian ps4 after fees on ebay is an 18$ game i think? not bad
Is he using the Amazon seller app to see how much he would make after fees ?
I believe so
Sports games and all the crappy shovel ware is all I find at pawn shops
what is the app you use called?
whats the app called that he scans to see the value of the games
I love the video
Bro who believes this lmaooo this dude is like a bad reality show its hilarious
love the vids man keep it up. maybe i could donate my original xbox collection sometime.
Phone scan boy resale 🤭
So, if I buy one of those plane games, do I make .63 cents. If so, I'll take a milli.
I just have one question out of curiosity...the Chronos game, you say you make $3 bucks after fees, but if you're shipping, and shipping costs on average $4, how you make any money? Or is it free if FBA?
Now I gotta look cause my broke self doesn’t wanna pay a ton of money 😂
The title shouldn't be which pawn shops have the cheapest games it should be which pawn shops can Caleb make the most money at
What app do you use??
Is micro center in az?
In the second pawn you missed a PlayStation tv
Odd question but were you just at Starbucks like 30 minutes ago?
