my recommendation is to keep it aside, and in a future episode you commit the whole episode to trying to find the budget to buy it off yourself, and if you fail, you have to sell it and all profit from that episode can go to another project or another episode
that way you still take a swing at getting the game in a gamecube gambit episode, but you can still count the profit from selling it in this episode because you bought it off yourself at the expected price
That’s an amazing suggestion in my opinion
He already used the fund from the game in this episode, so he wouldn’t be able to buy it from himself, as per the rules of the challenge.
@@krossboe8512 thats what im saying, if he buys it off himself at the price he expected to sell the disc ($650 if i remember correctly) then he'll still have earned that profit
@@struanpeat5116 it’s already listed on his eBay store for over 1k. Also he says he doesn’t want loose stuff, only CIB, anyways
i found it complete at my local game store for 50 bucks lmao, its so cheap in europe
Bruh why do you keep negotiating the super nice guy who runs the shop you do business with often and gives great prices for you
I remember seeing that Pokémon Box in another video a while back and was surprised you didn’t grab it. But slow and steady won the race cuz not only was it marked down but you got a discount on top! Greatness happens to those who are patient I guess!
What video was that
Yeah, I remember it too and when he showed his list a few episodes later and I saw that it wasn’t checked off, I got confused bc I thought he bought it lol
Did u even finish the video
Bro shut up pls
Thats not a gambit video if he buy it he have to sale it on that video
I love that you stick to the rules you set out on the journey. It makes it so much more satisfying to see you add each game to the collection.
You gotta flip that Pokémon game, the profit alone will buy you some high end games. But the chase is also so much fun to watch to find a complete copy!
Caleb, I’m so invested into your channel and series that I started to resell and collect.
I started my n64 and GameCube collection the end of January and have 4 Nintendo 64’s and 3 GameCubes lol. I have about 20 games for the GameCube and 15 for the 64. I’ve made more money flipping than I’ve spent.
Thank you for the mentorship through your videos. I will eventually start amazon after I get more comfortable with eBay!
Keep grinding
Same. I'm collecting the games I want for the N64, GameCube and Wii as well as some old Pokemon games. They are all free with the profits I made
I would definitely sell Pomemon Box for now, you will be much more satisfied finding it complete, and once you knock out these other games on your list, it wont take much for you to get that amount together. Glad to see Box go, I had been tempted to buy it in the past lol.
I love how honest you are! You easily could’ve edited this video/told the story to look like Game Exchange came last in the day and you had enough money to buy BOX! Either way I’m glad you found it
I remember a few years ago, the game store inside of the Fayette Mall had a complete Pokemon Box for like $350, looking back, i should have bought it, and flipped it now for $1500 lol
The price difference between pal and ntsc stuff is crazy, as a comparison the pal copy of Pokémon box disc is $70 aud , however something like Pokémon xd gale of darkness complete is worth over $400 aud which I think is a fair bit more than the ntsc version
Its 35-40€ only on eBay in Germany. Thats crazy …
i buy XD gale of darkness complete yesterday at 15
You've really inspired me. I have been wanting to do this for several years, and I think I might bite the bullet and jump in. Grats on Pokemon; that's insane!
Burnout and NFS are both incredible franchises especially back in the day. I played tons of Burnout 2 and NFS Underground on the Gamecube which i strongly recommend for everyone who enjoys classic arcade racing.
I also think that the graphics of Burnout 2 are incredible on the Gamecube and the handling of the cars are very nice and feel natural.
I appreciate you sticking to your rules about the GameCube gambit, of course it may be awhile or it could be next week to find another Pokémon box, either way it’s nice that you aren’t bending the rules for it. Keeping it authentic
I'm just starting to realize how valuable my GameCube collection is. I've got burnout, kirby air ride, Mario party 7, Lego star wars, Smash bro's melee, need for speed carbon just to name a few. I had no idea they were worth so much. they are just games I bought when I was a kid... crazy.
Congratulations On Finding Pokemon Box!! My Suggestion Is That You Put It Aside!
Now, in terms of the Scooby-Doo game that could have been added, I would have suggested Night Of A 100 Frights because of how popular it was. Not that Unmasked and Mystery Mayhem are bad (Which they are so much fun), but Night Of 100 Frights would make ANY collection look fun!
Now, you do NOT have to take these recommendations for the GameCube Collection, but I feel that these would be great to add:
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2
Dragon Ball Z: Sagas
Ed, Edd, N' Eddy: The Mis Ed-Ventures
A Naruto Game (Any Game)
Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem
Scooby-Doo: Night Of 100 Frights
But once again dude, fantastic video, and congratulations on ALL the latest pickups AND Pokemon Box! Keep up the great work!
I have over 1800 hours into Resident Evil 4. Most of that is probably from me speed running the game over and over and the mercenaries mode :D
Well you’re a lot closer than I realized- not one of those people who obsess over online personalities but could you imagine going to buy some games and seeing this guy there!
A question I’ve had for a few days since I found you- do you ever run into fans or subs who say hello? If so does it bother you?
Good job! 11 GameCube Games for a decent price. Keep up the good work and can not wait till I see you finish your list. Love this challenge you are doing.
Thanks for making my day once again with your awesome videos man. I still reflect on the first video I saw of yours which oddly took place in one of my local pawn shops in TN. I honestly have been hooked ever since. Man you and Retro Rick (whom you also made me aware of) have help helped me in some of my toughest times and even tho I am still in a struggle right now it makes it all worth it to get on here and enjoy your great content. Keep it up buddy!!! High hopes that you keep prospering in all that you love!!!
Burn Out is the best. I remember buying that game at Toys R Us back in the day. I had never heard of it before, but the crashes looked insane. I still remember on the back of the box it said "Hyperventilating is part of the fun!"
"get out of my store" LOLLLLL great writing
Like your honest and sticking to rules for your challenge! This is why I like your channel and will keep watching. Keep up good work!
16:09 my god that brought back so much nostalgia used to play that with my cousins at my grandma's
Pokémon box is about £90 in the UK crazy how much it is in the US 😬
Hmm import to usa? make profit?
I just found out about Pokemon Box a couple days ago and thought "I wonder if Phoenix has one..."
In box with manual or disc only?
When he started stacking those games and they were hanging over the edge my heart rate shot up…congrats on the big haul!
9:10 back in the day and being a kid and having that one sibling or family member in your family that rarely ever plays (almost never video games) but has one game and only got that one game on your system we all remember having that one obviously not yours game in your collection that that belong to a family member of yours that was super embarrassing to see your collection nostalgia
I would definitely have sold it. You made the right decision.
Can’t believe you found Pokémon Box! I would have kept it (especially at the price you found it at!) though selling it wasn’t a terrible choice either. What a great episode!
My local game store has it for $1000 cib.
Might be a better deal, idk.
I've never seen pokemon box in person definitely a hard one to find
@@chrisearle7504 why is the game so expensive? i can find alot of them on ebay for like 50€?
I only have it with my colloseum
@@ricardogabriel2830 It’s just the US release that is so expensive. Not sure why exactly. Must’ve been produced in much lower numbers here in the state’s.
You know what’s crazy that pokemon box game is £100 in CEX in the UK is crazy how much prices differ between countries
I would add up left over budget from previous episodes of the GameCube gambit, then justify keeping it!
I think you need to make a second part and try to make enough profit to keep the Pokémon box game. Would be fun to watch you try to squeeze it out.
holy! pokemon box is that expensive in the US! its like 70€ here in the EU LMAO
That was my reaction, there is a sealed one for sale at £400 on eBay right now here.
yeah wtf xd
It’s cuz Pokémon box was only sold in one store or specially on Nintendos website, whereas every other region has a normal release.
Is there any follow up on this? Did you sell it?
I love these videos man, these videos relieve so much stress and make me feel like there is something to look forward too in life.
Dude. I heard you say Kentucky, look at your background, and you’re literally in my city. Gosh, I wish I knew that Pokémon box was there!!!!!! Congrats man!!
I only collect complete games, so when I find disc only games I want I flip them to build a budget for games in the condition I want. I would also flip the Pokémon box disc
the fact you found it in the wild warrants a keep.
Man this channel keeps getting better !! Thank You Caleb!!
UGH, hit me with the bomber man nostalgia. Played it on the OG xbox all the time! growing up!
It's weird how the same game in the UK pokemon box game only is going for just £39.99 on ebay
Mario golf on the GameCube was a legendary game growing up
I think you will have to attend some conventions to find the final games. Midwest gaming classic returns April. Make some stops on your way north
When I seen you flip the Pokemon box at the end I was saying please God don't let his clumsy fingers drop this lol
Man I love those those little edits from random movies
most played game is albion oonline at over 6 months of game time. ffxiv is close to 10k hours as well. Lots of both of those times are being AFK tho.
Just a warning about joy cons, the box might look new but you can open them from the bottom of the box. Just something to be careful of for everyone out there.
Editor Riff: small tip. When ever Caleb tosses games for dramatic effect @0:28. Please edit out the sound of them hitting the floor. Small details like that can make a video's quality seem that much better
He Phoenix been here since 3k subs and still love the content. I think you should implement a rule where the budget can carry over to future episodes. Of course try to flip games each video and try to use that expected profit but if you run into games like Pokémon box or other games / you find a lot of titles you need if you had the “backup budget” it would be cool to see you be able to get them. Idk could change it up a little or add more rules to it but I think it would be helpful. Maybe announce the budget at the start / end :) hope you see thus
That need for speed most wanted cover made me tear up, I loved that game
Killing itttt!
Crazy find, cant believe you didnt use all of the budget from that and still had enough to get every one you wanted and needed for the gambit!!🤟
Thank you for this I started my wii and GameCube collection because of this
You did something because another person was doing it? Lol ok🐑
Keep that pokemon box until you find a complete one.
Idk why I just got a huge dopamine hit from watching someone else buy games but I love it!
I can just say that that game exchange is like the best they stayed open after close to help me set up an account and buy a bunch of games
Best series on YT, glad u decided to flip pokemon box
This is his best Gambit haul yet. Amazing deals too.
Hercules was a fantastic game on the PS. On the Pokemon Box however this would be my decision, "Is this America? Yes! Then do you Caleb! Keep that game."
Most of the expensive and rare GameCube games are the ones I’d sell in a heartbeat because I don’t think they’re fun. 😂
The way he handles discs is such a trigger I swear
Just picked up 5 GameCube games all complete. Surf's up, shark tale, open season, the incredibles and Madagascar at a thrift store $4 each very rare that I find GameCube games.
In the UK you can get pokemon box for around £30 disc only and about £100 for complete why is the US so expensive ps digimon rumble arena 2 should be on the list it was a very good game
If you come across a Scooby doo,: night of 100 frights, pick it up immediately. Not an expensive game but a superbly fun one
I think in the future what would be fair is if you manage to grow your budget enough that you could have bought it with your budget (without adding its own flipping price) by the end of the video you can keep it as your gambit pur have and if not then you have to take the hit and sell it for the gambit budget
It would allow you to pick up some harder to find games if you see them early on in your gambit so you don't have to miss out on the more expensive and rare titles without you needing to risk going over on the budget
Might also be cool to have videos where you do a gambit focused on saving so you have enough to spend on a bigger game because I know it's gonna be hard to build up enough budget in just one video for some of those games
I can’t believe I used to have most of the games on my GameCube and I just sold 10 years ago like nothing. Not knowing they will cost this much 10 years later haha
This is a really creative and fun to watch challenge. Been hooked on these videos all day, especially since I collect Gamecube games as well. Definitely subbed to follow along
Insane to see how much that game has gone up
Saw Chibi Robo on the list, i haven't thought about that game in forever
gotta love the blaster master water stage theme!
I don't know if it's on your list but I very highly recommend gun for the gamecube
That Pokémon background music is so nostalgic to me 😊
I am going for NES Sports, Gameshow, Puzzle Games and Board Game Games collection box or lose. Need 97 more already have 45 games! In total 142 games for this collection; only North America sold games for this collection.
I by far have the most hours in Animal Crossing on the Game Cube, probably followed by Mario Party 7. I played that with my babysitter alllllll the time when I was little
When I lived in Russellville Kentucky I loved going to that exact game x change! Made my heart happy to see it again.
And great escape!! God this is making me nostalgic. I moved a few years ago and haven't been back yet. I miss it.
Lose disk pokemon box is only worth 40 ducks. It's the link cable that normally comes with it that's valuable
dude is a scalper first and a gamer second, of course he was going to flip it
Should have titled the video “game collector almost cracks game taking it off the tray.” 😁
Ok, wait what? Pokemon box is the rarest game cube game mentioned in the title? I inherited my dad's Nintendo collection, plus my own personal copy, both with boxes and manuals. I seriously had no idea. Thanks for the video. *Runs off to check ebay*
ok... regarding ebay solds after 90 days, have you looked into worthpoint at all? Also I don't personally care about you 'sticking to rules' you used your sponsorship money in one episode XD It's just fun to watvh someone find and complete their collection.
Also the burnout series as far as i can remember are about crazy crash mechanics whereas need for speed is about racing and car customisation, not exactly comparable imo
I found a copy of "Amazing fantasies #5" on ebay along with copies of the first 21 Amazing Spiderman comics. They say "not for resale" printed on them. I bought it knowing I'll never pay $10,000 for a real copy
When he said best youtube gamecube series.. and worst popped up i died lol
Talk about an amazing episode that's freaking crazy🙀
I love this idea and series you’re doing, just found them . I was watching a different one of yours before this and yt closed couldn’t find that one again.
But in that video a pawnshop was looking up game prices as you were choosing them and quoting the prices, I don’t like that method myself . Feel like they should have set prices beforehand.
I think you should flip Pokémon box, if you are trying to simulate someone going from zero to a complete collection without spending any money. You can keep it until you upgrade though I would think the price will only go up.
Try and find the box on ebay using the gambit budget sooooo you can keep it 🙃
Can someone explain, why Pokemon Box is currently at around 80-120€ on ebay in Germany?
Is that a different version? Or have the prices just heavily dropped in the last two years?
Awwww... the offer is US Only! Nice video and good job on your shopping. Like how you share afterwards when you finish shopping at each store. No GAMECUBE SYSTEM :( it's hard to find one in my area. Not wanting to go on eBay or Amazon or even online would rather buy at a local game shop. Gotta have to wait! I am playing heavy is my new GAME & WATCH ZELDA and I have also been playing ELEVATOR ACTION on the NES. You always go to Chipotle for food; to bad none in my area. From Ontario Canada.... Thanks for your videos! Keep up good work.
22 minute video?? Yes please :)
Mario golf was 🔥 had it while I was in the hospital a few months when I was a kid
I have to say out of all the GameCube games I’ve ever owned I would say I put the most into the Simpson hit and run
Something I would do with Pokémon Box would be to buy a replacement GameCube case, print custom box art, and maybe buy the manual for it too.
Looks like you might need another shelf haha because those new GameCube games are hanging off a little bit and may fall if something happens.
Good call on the pokemon box honestly. Better to get it in its case for the collection. My local game store has a copy of ribbit king in Washington state too.
Wind Waker for sure!!! I also put a lot of time into MGS 1 and Resident Evil 4!
It's a no-brainer for me. If it's not complete, it's flipped for cash! No exceptions to that rule. Loose games don't look good on the shelf. :-)
Yo man I think you should just hold on to Pokémon box until you finish the gamecube gambit or you either find another copy of Pokémon box to replace and put in your collection! Like don’t be to quick to sell it because you never know what could happen! With such a rare game I think maybe bending the rules a bit in this one case would be okay ;)
That 3ds was a good find I haven't found any for a fair price in my area.
I *had* a complete Chibi robo... and pokemon Box.....having no idea how to play it or what it was at the time i buried it in the backyard of the first home my family moved to.
Duuuude I’m like 30 minutes from that GameHub lol hope you enjoyed TN man!
While your heading to Tennessee swing down to buckhannon WV to preplayed media and look at are vintage game store. Yeah we def have some of them games you need on your list still
So here's a wild idea;
Bring the list with you. It's a sheet of paper dude.
