Thank you for making this amazing video about our store! It was a pleasure doing business with you. Looking forward to many more bulk deals in the future!
Your store is so cool! There are essentially no stores like yours in Central Florida. If I ever make it to your neck of the woods I'll be there in a heartbeat.
You guys do have a good store and I love going there when I can
@Ancient Rights oh yeah! I've been to both their locations a lot. They have great selection. I just don't think it's on this stores level. I've never seen a wii collection like that before lol
Ryan we are gunna fight about the sealed Star Wars game lol
Shelves done right.
You're awesome for helping keep these stores alive. I'm sure that big purchase you made will help keep the lights on for a while.
My cousin Ryan is the owner of the store. More GameHub locations have been opened!
Nice haul Caleb! It’s refreshing to see how honest and transparent you are in your business practices. I think you show that good things come to those who conduct themselves with integrity. Cheers bro! Love your videos!
Re-Sellers buying from Re-Sellers to sell to Re-Sellers...if that ain't some inception stuff I dunno what is lol XD
i was there yesterday,thats why so many games were gone.Good job man
@Ancient Rights yeah that's not how the market works at all.
Good job on scalping all the local businesses?
@@__-wm9lu but that local business makes money and they are willing to do it? Not really scalping
@Ancient Rights Dude he's making the market more efficient. He's supplying games to people in markets that don't have copies near by or to people who prefer to shop online. Totally net positive.
whats that store called
I like how you are fair with your offers. Way too many people want to pay $10 for $50 games, you are always over 50% of the value and taking a risk if it doesnt sell and drops.
You probably bought more in that one day than he sells in a month. He should have just taken your offers on the other games, at some point you have to cut your losses on bad investments especially if you have multiple copies....plus you bought so much more from him to make up for a few $6 games. He should have offered you a partnership in his store so you have no out of pocket expenses, just list all his games for him and you take a percentage when it sells
Pretty slimy for a store not to price any items and for the customer to have to ask about all the prices on their games.
Not cool when record stores do it, not cool when game stores do it either.
It’s even better when game store clerks whip out PriceCharting as you are handing them your debit card.
“Oh, sorry these are mispriced.”
This channel is so good! I'm not a gamer, nor a reseller but I'm addicted to the positive energy.
Thanks MBD!
Retro Rick would shit himself over that Disney Football game
Too funny. I came across a 1995 Wheel of Fortune Tiger game and knew he'd love it, even how dumb it is lol.
Lmaoo “shit himself”
After the Retro Rick collaboration, you have gained a new subscriber.
Thanks TC!
Those prices tho. I see y he has so much inventory 🤦🏼♂️😂
REALLY like seeing the organization in this store and just the number of games in their original cases. Those disc only stacks in the back gotta be tall :)
Such a big fan of you and Retro Rick, keep up the good work!
This is simply amazing dude! This video just shows how your hard work on this channel is fantastic.
This man has a gold mine in lumber.
16:18 This is something that I'm trying to get better at - managing my time and dealing with random stuff while also trying to make time to source/list. The COVID shot was something I put off a couple of weeks because I work full time and didn't want to have any side effects on my days off when I source - ended up not being bad at all once I got it. That looked like a long day's work but the haul at the end of it had to be worth it - thanks for the video.
Today I scored the deal of a lifetime in my opinion! My local retro store had a jungle version n64 that came with 1 matching controller w/cables for $100 with a hidden jumper pak. I was then also able to add to that bundle super Mario 64, super smash bros, Mario party 3 (I know 2 is more popular), banjo tooie, another atomic purple controller all for $200 flat! It also helps when you’ve built a friendship with your local retro store but they did me a solid and I’m super excited to have this in my collection!
Wow, i can only dream of entering a video game store stacked like this! This place is epic !
You find all of these awesome shops! I wish there were some like this in my area.
Dude, your commitment is admirable. Keep up the great videos 🙏🏽
I bet once the shop owner saw who you were he saw Dollar Signs 🤑. It's great that you are able to support his small business. Wish you success in this haul Caleb.
“Gotta fuel up” off Pizza Hut pizza is the most OG gamer sentence of all time 🤣
This Has Became 1 Of My Fav RUclips Channels. Like The Finance Side Plus Game Hunting
Why am I just watching this now??!? This is absolutely ridiculous! Insane!!! Mind is blown
"Caught slipin!" Deym game chasers 😆
Nice haul! Enjoyed watching your vid 😁
Awesome video Caleb! That store was incredible. I bet you could have been in there two full days to see everything!
Crazy haul man. Love how far you’ve travelled and stayed away for this.
Keep up the great work 🔥
Thanks brother!
I'm surprised there isn't an AR app that lets you scan the spines, then highlights the ones above a certain value for you
For sure. Even scanning the cover of a book sucks so I dunno if it's the algorithm or the tech that's the problem.
Would love to see a follow up of this vid! Nice score
I have never seen a game store like that I was blown away
That store would break me with all the awesome gaming goodness
I'll never financially recover from this
Fortnite for PS4 is a great pick. Increased so much on value without having value gamewise. Its the same DLC like the free on PSN.
Damn bro, you just paid Ryan’s rent for the next couple months!!!! Win, win!!!! Great job!! Love the content!
You have put in the work for this channel. You will have a 100k subs soon.
I see you're coming to Southeast Game Exchange in July. I'll be there for sure and look forward to seeing your thoughts on that show. It's a really big show now... Lot of fun
Looking forward to it, hopefully we can connect! If you’ve got stuff to sell feel free to bring it!
Awesome pick ups!!! Insane amount of games!!
Nice nice nice🔥good vid Caleb 💪
I have never seen a game store so stocked my heart
I had to stop doing my work to watch this awesome video! ain't going to lie kind of jealous but that a lot of money too, awesome job!
you already know but keep an eye out for the fable anniversary edition for the Xbox 360. The disc alone is pretty good!!
I went to a game xchange over the weekend, since there isn’t one in my town. I bought 007 for n64 and a Zelda game for the switch! Didn’t disappoint!
I know Clarksville is up to 3 GameStop’s now from 1 when I attended nearby Murray State 20-ish years ago, & Murray is a bigger town than Clarksville, but Clarksville is still a college town (Austin Peay) & I can’t believe a retro/modern independent game store would have that much back stock in 2021.
warrior world for the Wii u . the great game has a few sealed and not sealed!!!
I don't understand why these game stores don't do what you do. I mean if they sold on ebay/ amazon they would make more money
Exactly my idea…
Not everyone wants to sell online
@@vnvmode It would make much more sense to sell online too. Most sales are made on ebay for vintage games
that guy probably does do that, and he makes even more profit because he sells in a store front with no fees or shipping cost, and he does bulk deals like this to grab a quick 6.5k. I bet that guy has multiple hustles
@@Trick0ut No fees? You must not know about overhead.. Dude wastes an awful lot on electricity & rent that he wouldn’t need if he just sold online. Overpaying youtuber(s) don’t walk into the store every day.
Bro what a crazy store my good!! I wish I can visit one day!
He is showing the owner how he can make way more margin trough amazon. The guy sits in front of him and says "i can get 50, would you do 35". I dont understand wuy tf the shop owner doesnt do it himself
Because not anyone can sell on Amazon and Amazon you can usually sell for more than normal
Why cant anybody sell on Amazon. What are the requirements?
@@Qoss1 well you have to pay per month and Im not 100% on requirements but it's not like eBay where you can throw up anything you wanna sell for however much.
Store owner probably bought those games for dirt cheap. He is making a profit. I think it's very good business to that these guys are not greedy. Seller makes money selling games, store owner makes money selling to Caleb, and Caleb makes money selling through Amazon. Everyone is happy.
Did you see how many games he has in that store??? There aren’t enough hours in day to be sourcing, running a brick and mortar game store and worrying about listing on eBay and Amazon. This was a win-win for both of them.
Great vid again man. Awesome haul. Can't imagine the call home...honey I'm gonna be late...I'm buying out a video game store. 😂
That’s what I was thinking! I wanted to know her reaction when she saw them lol
Just found this channel and It didn't disappoint😂 love the intro music keep grinding bro💯💪
The owner heard you were hungry and ordered you three name brand pizzas? You were definitely hooking him up so it was nice to return the favor in pizza, as a true gentleman is oft to do, of course!
This reminded me about that time you got boxes full of snes games
I saw twilight princess, my favorite Zelda game
Lovely stuff man
Do you buy on a credit card and hope to make profit before you need to pay the bill or do you just pay cash/debit? I see tons of resellers who spend 10k 20k and say its all on credit and they pay it off with the sales they make.
I buy EVERYTHING I can on credit card....I have gone on 2 week long vacations for free with the points I’ve accumulated...multiple times......but I always pay my card off the very next statement....I’ve never paid any money on interest on any of my cards.....honestly if you are able to do it responsibly, it’s stupid not to use credit....you are giving money away
Almost went there over the weekend, would of been cool to end up there when you where there
That store is amazing. I could spend three days there.
Driver on original Xbox might be a buy, if you didn't end up buying it.
Big STACK$
Other resalers: Biggest score yet!
Phoenix resale: hold my limited edition switch.
Yeah i got a last gen game today 7.50$ at GameStop saved 22$ worth 200$ 😊 i ate pizza today too mall pizza 😊 they have one left i think he got it was surprised it was worth that much
Game hunting is so expensive in the USA! Even in the Uk I have seen used games cheaper than this. Japanese copies are even cheaper. No wonder the US is the best country to resell games.
It’s really not if you hunt at the right places & know how to negotiate. This man overpays more than any other RUclips I’ve watched.
@@Lamar4mvp it's not over paying when you're making 100% ROI on most items. If anything he is fair and wants his connections to feel like they didn't get ripped off. The people overpaying are the goobers that only buy games from Amazon instead of eBay and local second hand shops.
Biggest game shop ever
Awesome video and great grabs!
Next video...see how long you can make it into the video before saying the word "folks"
I was legit there yesterday dang
Hey Caleb, could you just add the actual date of the video's footage on the down right corner in the start of each videos, would make it even better for your Instagram followers that get the sneak peaks pretty early
You becoming one of the best brother love your channel 👍👍👍👍
Dead god, thank goodness for credit cards with a high limit. That looked like an immense amount of work and time... but glad to see you got a lot of scores.
Where is this place at? Seems like a chill spot and you got hella games
You give good offers for games. If someone reject your offers they're just plain greedy!
Wow that guy has a massive library plus you got alot to bring home too that was a trip and a half
your making me wish i invested in videogames
Crazy amount of games! Fun
Wow that's a lot of games, good job!
Were the games in his store not price marked? Does he store the price in his system or does he price games based on current internet pricing when people bring the games up to the counter? Super cool video
He doesn’t have a POS. Just names prices off memory
Man, this is the dream scenario.
Impressive store!
It depends on what you are looking for to get broke... either by two games or half a ton ;)
Great pickup
one wii game to look out for if you can is pandora’s tower in america it was a very low print run and is pretty pricy today
What store are u in?
Said it in the vid
Why doesn't the shop owner get an amazon account n sell them himself! Duh!
So much money that has been flippied today. Take care always bro.
I feel that he should have been a little more generous with the deals. The reason why he has so many games in stock is because he’s the worst type of seller who expect the highest price ever sold on eBay. You clearing out his inventory honestly helps him more than you. I love your videos and I hope sellers are more willing to cut you deals in the future
Wow catching up again amazing video as always Caleb great content an what a spend well worth it though
Thanks Dave!
How much do you honestly make off this spent entire day there and you have to do all the work of selling them
Wow that game store is sick... But just to ask couple days ago i found (ufc 2009 undisputed xbox 360) and (smackdown vs raw 2011) are those worth picking up?? Edit:they were both 6 dollars
no that is market price
Okay thanks👍
If your still in Tennessee you should visit new wave hobbies in Dickson go there a lot to buy retro games
I normally go there also 😂
Man you should just open up your own store!
Yep Pikmin 2 is over 60+ on Ebay
Very nice!
you know when you spend to much time in game stores when you have to order pizzas in to sustain you lol
Caught em slipping. You like the game chasers my friend?
Did they originate that phrase?
No but they say it alot on their videos.
@phoenixresale, let me know if you want to sell that game & wario. Im trying to complete a wii u full set
Why is there no inventory of the games in a computer.. seems like a place that large would have one.
Well folks
Man with all the stuff you have been buying lately maybe you need to open a store.
He has a store! It's just online only.
I sell games on eBay,I aspire to one day be as good as you
You cant do what he does selling on ebay. if you did youd make like $1 a sale lol
Thanks Mike!
Wpow fantastic stuff amazing what u pay for the skylanders stuff. This whole transaction is amazing. Wii stuff is classic
Haha this one was great!
I need some tips on the BOLOS. I need to get into the selling realm. The Collecting and stacking is fun but, I need to recoupe some funds.
Keep watching! Or if you want to get really serious you can hop in the discord!
Curious to know the full profit from the trip
Estimated 4.5k
@@PhoenixResale Nice! Great haul! Between you and hairy tornado, I have been getting my stuff together to start resale.
