I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, I miss your old content. The pawn shop hunting, the GameCube gambit ect. It really feels like you gave up on the mission switch series and if I’m being honest feels like your giving up on your RUclips audience all together. I mean this from purely a good place though. From all the way down in NZ 🇳🇿, much love ❤
I feel the exact same way, especially since he hasn’t been posting. Then he changes his rules to make the gambit easier. And now he’s saying he won’t do anymore collecting series. It really does feel like he’s just giving up on his RUclips. Which hurts because I was here from the start, and now it feels like he’s choosing money over us. I can’t blame him but it’s still frustrating.😢
Can't really blame someone for giving up on their audience when its been infiltrated by such toxic people. Not sure if you've ever scrolled through the comments but they're rough. I would've been gone ages ago. People are terrible.
@@manonamission2000 not a chance, you see heaps of videos on RUclips uploaded all the time with people game hunting at yard sales and thrift shops finding games. Chase after the right price for example, 90% of his content is garage sale finds.
@@keeganapps Sure there are games to find but those guys hunt for hours on end and only show the wins. Chase even says so in a few of his videos. If you're hunting for profit, then sure you can spend 4+ hours a day hunting but its not feasible for someone just collecting. I prefer to get all my inventory from auctions now.
I hope you don't abandon the game hunting videos. That's what made me subscribe in the first place. I'm not into the business aspect at all, and I thought that is what the second channel is for. At the end of the day, it's your channel, so I wish you luck in the future. Oh, I forgot. You don't read comments anymore. I tried.
Not a lot people leave their house to hunt for games. So what he sells it for on eBay will be the new set price. Thats how all the Pokémon games became so expensive. Lots of resellers stockpile Pokémon. The same thing is happening with some xbox games right now.
@@Jfscloud723 he does not set the prices like who orig come up with the prices and decided oh this is worth 2 grand etc, issue is other resellers are great this guy is not because of how shtty he is towards people and then bragging of how he was able to get so much knocked off, you can be a reseller and be a nice person that people like however this guy is not, its great we get people that hunt the stuff down other wise it would be in the wild so at least people are able to get the games they want so paying decent prices sure thats great but there is a way to go about it and the titles they use as if they are victims
@@Jfscloud723 issue is the way he goes about things and how terrible he is when buying stuff and then bragging how he done someone in and got so much off, its not hard to be a nice person and not to brag why so many people dont like him sure alot of stuff would stay in the wild so its great that people get to buy the stuff and its not so much the prices its how sh he is of a person and playing victim a few times
If you're looking for inspiration for another series, I remember reading an article about a woman who had a hairpin and traded it for a house (well, traded it for several things of increasing value, eventually ending the challenge at a house). Could be fun to do a challenge where you start with a super low value game and see how high you can trade your way up from that
Agreed, the Pokémon Franchise will never be the same, Pokémon is still Fun only because you can have all the Starter Pokémon from other Games. I look forward to your Videos. I must say I have enjoyed learning from you,Watching your Adventures,Listening to your Interviews and seeing someone make "Money"! Doing what they like.
mission switch is the best series from the genre out there, keep it up, and if it finish, you need to make something similar, you are the best doing this !!
I just ordered a Japanese switch game that’s a spiritual successor to Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, called Mameda No Bakeru. This game is a blast! The art style, game play, and music is a masterpiece from beginning to end I suggest yall check it out! The developers are ex Konami employees that worked on the original Goemon, Etsunobo Ebisu which is the inspiration behind one of the characters names in the game (Ebisumaru)
I’m so amazed at Riff’s psychic abilities that he recently upgraded to be able to send telepathic messages into the past when Phoenix was recording the video.
I have ran a mission switch with my kids. We started flipping about 7 months ago and we now have a switch each (3), a new giant TV to play party games and 63 games. Loving the concept, kids are loving it and just wanted to say thanks 👍👍👍
That spyro collection is so good. They really put a lot of care into remaking those games! I played Spyro 2 over and over without saving because I didn't know you had to do that, and my mom didn't understand video games either 😅
Going to miss seeing your collection videos when you're done. Hopefully you get the itch to come back to this style of video again sooner than later. You're very good at it, it's entertaining (Riff's editing certainly doesn't hurt), and while the business stuff is interesting, it's the game hunting that draws me here. I'll be honest, I probably won't click to watch interviews with business people about their business.
I hope you do create another game hunting series as I love watching them! Don’t force yourself tho, I still like the interview style business videos love behind the scenes content as well! Either way I’ll stick around I know you will make great content and I’m here for you at this point and not just a title or thumbnail!
@PhoenixResale Would love to see you Build an entire collection for Switch from reselling.. I think you could do that for years and then in the Final Episode you sell the Entire collection for something huge to support the business! Tough Challenge but I think if anyone could do it you could! Great Video!
Love what you do man...I watch bc I like knowing the value of the stuff I'm hunting for. Always good to know what the market is for games and such. I dont resale but I respect the hustle!!!
It was such a joy to meet you at McKay's! It made my day after watching you for so many years. You and Hairy Tornado have completely changed the trajectory of my life. 🥲
This was actually a fun episode. Love Mission Switch. Maybe you could stop with game collecting episode but continue to actively hunt with no pressure.
if you're ever in the Indy area, Brownsburg Indiana has a place called Gizmo's and in Gizmo's is a store called Hole In The Wall Games and there are a lot of games there. Some you would not expect to see in a flea market booth.
I envy with your game price. Basically heaven price for me. Here in my country each standard game cost 200++.. EACH I can only buy games once a year Damn I should get V1, at least I can play games.
I wish you’d keep doing what you have been doing that made you as big as you are. I am gunna miss the collection and pawn shop hunting vids. I hope it works out for you.
One "collection" that would be pretty amazing to complete.. Getting every major console to release from Atari and/or Nintendo to now. And then get the top few games for each one
Hey brother its all good but nintendo 3ds xl goes for aoprox 200-250. On listing you showed nintendo dsi xl hehe which is much older and weaker. All good just noticed little discrepancy. Much love and keep going bro. Love you and love your channel and you are an awesome inspiring motivating person! 👍👍👍
You have to put the new apple intelligence in your app, so it can scan the spine and show the results. Having to pick up the game and scan the front or back is old tech. Its just another 10k or so for the feature :)
Imagine scanning the spines of all the games in one go and having the results in a carousel like itunes used to have. That would be very handy and very cool.
I think what you need to know i think alot of people that enjoy your channel is for the Game Hunting. If not most. The interviews are cool to see once a while. Game Hunts is what will get you more youtubers i think in long term. Problem with most Game Hunters out their... they dont make it just about video games, they throw in shirts, toys, and other stuff.... I dont want to see any of that, I just want Video Games.
Not sure if it works in the rules or not, but Stardew Valley is almost always in stock at my local BestBuys around in Colorado. You could take a trip out here to get a copy
I know he changes his outfit later, but can we all just love how if he wore longer brown pants, he'd be dressed like Shaggy Rodgers from Scooby Doo? at 0:45
Glad to see Justin The Flipping Accountant. Miss his content on RUclips. Haven't seen anything on his channel in over a year. Hopefully he sees this. Would love to watch his new stuff if he's on another channel somewhere.
Idk why people hate resellers so much, but I love your videos, the collecting, reselling, and business ones. They're all fun and interesting. Just wanted to send some love after seeing that pixel podcast clip with you. Don't let the haters get you down!
As long as he isn't reselling new releases and new consoles, I won't find a problem with him. He operates within his own means and as part of the retro and fairly recent market.
I personally don’t have a problem, although I guess they limit the bargains you can find in the wild, creating artificially higher prices, the SNES controllers he came across is a perfect example.
i can fully understand your reasons not to do collection episodes and series again.... but it will be pain. many here joined during one of your collector series and really enjoy them. so maybe.. at some point.... never say never is what i hope.
Personally, I do believe in price shaming. Some stores are unapologetically overpriced and they need to be called out for that. No reason that some stores should want to make 400% profit on some games/consoles.
I agree, I don’t care for that content as well, I enjoy game hunting, conventions with friends, etc, the business content should be on a podcast or different channel

@@Ahlmighty Watch KodyWithaK, all he does is hunt and trade
I unsubbed and check in once every month, lucky day
I love how he paid $42 for Spyro and found it for $27 at the convention minutes later 😅
deserves it and it cost me 26 bucks for a brand new seal

Not gonna lie. Threw me through a loop when that journey across Japan music came on at 6:50
Same here
Lol me too
Haha I turned into the Leo DiCaprio meme pointing at my TV 😂
Dawid does tech stuff uses the sound too and it always throws me off!

I kinda like the 'no thumbnail' thumbnail
You missed the best game hunting spot in Nashville. The Great Escape which you drove passed is between mckays and half priced books
I've been very busy for awhile and haven't watch your videos for a long time. Glad to see your video game hunting videos again.
mission switch is the best series from the genre out there, keep it up, and if it finish, you need to make something similar, you are the best doing this !!
As a fellow amazon seller it would be dope to see you continue more talking about reselling on amazon

I think you should do another collection series. It would be amazing to see what you can find out there, whether it be a PS4 or a Gameboy series
McKay's is always a good stop over by Chattanooga, sadly this year I won't be going there for work. I always find good stuff to flip when I go.

When they come out the Swtich 2... you can do a part 2!!!
You have to put the new apple intelligence in your app, so it can scan the spine and show the results.

Its just another 10k or so for the feature :)
Haters gonna hate. I enjoy your vids Caleb!
Imagine scanning the spines of all the games in one go and having the results in a carousel like itunes used to have. That would be very handy and very cool.
In terms of going forward, look at getting a kiosk switch system. Start diversifying.
Don’t think I didn’t notice swapping of the budgets about halfway through the video. Nice Easter egg!
I will say McKays can be very hit or miss with deals. Ive found some great deals that they look over on Video Games and Funkos

You got me into retro video games
You will not regret getting wonder caleb it is one of the best games ive ever played
7:54 Mario has been going through some stuff.
Yay more hunting videos!
McKay’s is my go-to spot in Nashville!!!
there is a good 20 games coming out this year so keep up the good work
Would be nice to see you come up to the seattle area and do some game hunting and interview some local gamestore owners
Ps2 may be a great way to go if you want to do another collection
I live in Huntsville and completely missed the jam ugh well maybe next year!

What happened to the Switch display/store set up on the grail board?
10 seconds in and I can tell that's McKays Nashville. Best place for everything!
Idk if I’m just used to the glass for theft prevention but loose games is WILD to me
Do a Nintendo 3ds video!
Also lets Streetpass together!
Love your videos I just bought the contra and castlevania physical edition
There we goooooo! solid stuff, man.
Is there a video that has a complete list of the 100 games or a pic of the list?
Where you atttt
SMT 5 was behind as a collectors edition too
Love this type of content.
Nice detail on your video for switch. Will u be at the SE gaming con?
Caleb came around the corner at that convention, I seen him and yelled “Phoenix resale!!” 😂😂
I miss when you play the games at the end.
I’m in the thumbnail as the seller. That’s wild! 😂
Vendor with the shining force shirt. Approved!
Okay... this needs to be said... I enjoy your videos, but do not tend to laugh out loud very often. but that Chipolte transition got me good.

Zach out there repping a shining forces shirt, thats my guy
8:54 I got Uncharted 4 for $5 recently, I understand the reaction
Without Amazon Renewed would you ever buy the games at the prices that you do....

McKay's is a great store IF you can find deals, I go there a lot
Hey you should get a hat in time it’s so good!!!
It’s mental how the Tokyo Olympic Games sells for $52 in USA , while you can get a copy of it here in the UK for £10 😂
Great video as always

Zach’s inventory was impressive 🤯🤯🤯😮😮
Personally, I do believe in price shaming. Some stores are unapologetically overpriced and they need to be called out for that. No reason that some stores should want to make 400% profit on some games/consoles.
The 2ds zelda edition is so cool. Cant find this thing for a reasonable price in EU
Stubbs is a fun co-op game.
That McKays In the first scene is where I live that’s my local one
Gotta love mkays also vist them when im in nashville
Cult of the Lamb is in several of the Walmarts near me.
How are u making money? If you buy an item for 10 and they sell for 20. How are you making a profit after fees and shipping?
7:44 and that stop is Chipotle
6:48 4 games over from the spyro you picked up
Just to let you know that if you stop doing collecting videos I’ll stop watching because that’s the content I enjoy. The business content not so much
nah keep the biz content going my man
Oh no… whatever will he do if you stop watching
