Loved that negotiating segment felt very raw and unfiltered. A lot of content creators usually just edit that part out and tell us if they made the deal or not and for how much.
60% is more than i'd pay, so anyone that say's that's not enough hasn't done much reselling. There is processing time, potential defects, fees, shipping materials, etc. You're only actually making MAYBE 25% on that, but likely closer to 15-20%
@kyleandow4844 yes and let's keep in mind this guy didn't buy bad shape items so at most need disc resurface on some cases for post part looks clean not much work needed and they were already organized too saves a lot of time he can pack and list all his Amazon games easily
Yep it will tank, The only reason it got so high is because they stopped making it and everyone won't care anymore once the new one comes out because it is not a rare game at all.
The one thing I CANT STAND about this video is the seller saying he has connections who hold video games for him at thrift shops. No one should be aloud to do that. That should be fair game for everyone. That part annoyed me.
Yep. It’s kinda like buying shoes that are wanted. Can’t even get a pair for market price because of resellers. Which has changed recent but this goes for anything up for resale.
Unfortunately things will never be completely fair. Put in the work and maybe it will even up. A better option is just to work hard at learning a skill/ability and just earn more income so you can buy what you want instead of spending hundreds of hours a year looking for a deal. Save your time/energy, let someone else do the work.
This guy has a physical and online store and he still wants these crazy prices? 50% on pricecharting for a bulk lot where you remove literally hundreds of hours of labor is very generous. Especially when you're talking about a 5 figure deal.
I know you said on the main channel that you haven't been enjoying making the videos as much as you used to but you still killing it with these videos. Much love from the UK 👊
The hand come out but with the extra 500$. Well done! Caleb does in fact like to leave a good taste in others people mouths. Good negotiations all around!
55-60% absolutely is a great deal for the seller on that large of a bulk deal. I challenge anyone to get higher than that anywhere in a bulk video game deal. If you do, you're starting to really hurt the buyer pretty fast.
That was a really solid deal for that guy to offload his inventory in one go. After eBay fees, shipping costs, and taxes, he would have landed around $13-$13.5 anyways. Now he doesn’t have to waste any time listing, packing, shipping, cleaning, and holding inventory.
Yeah I've kind of wondered this too...that car is tiny for as many game conventions/stores that he drives to and does major deals. Could probably upgrade to a small SUV and get a significant tax break too, as it would be used for business.
@@hsproyaya Never said it did. But content creators can write off just about anything they use for their business or in their videos. There's ways to get around the tax system. The mega wealthy do it all the time lol. I'm not saying Caleb's rolling in wealth, but I'm pretty sure he's finding loopholes just like the rest of the people are.
There’s no way I’d pay more than 10k for that lot. He said he’s got most of it listed high, and when you factor in the fees and shipping, that’s gonna drop it to like 16k if everything sells for the listed prices.
@dotcom721 we saw a 20 minute clip, but I doubt that it was a rushed deal. I imagine it was probably a few hours of going through stuff and making decisions before shelling out that kind of $.
Amazon prices are most definitely above ebay prices most of the time so if he is paying 10k for a lot that he values at 20k and is probably worth around 16k price charting that's likely going to be at that 20k mark on amazon still.
@@Security848 I’m literally going off of the figure that the store owner himself gave regarding how much his stuff was listed for on EBay. The side deal for the other stuff is completely outside of this.
60% is insanely good especially in cash. You have to think he doesn’t have to pay the 13.5% to Ebay and the probably 10% worth of shipping and taxes.. like man that is awesome
He was easy going and went down a healthy amount each time. Dont really see 20k worth of games there. But the prices you get on Amazon is way higher than price chart. If the deal is just for the 5 boxes. Id pass unless youre really struggling with sourcing
If you buy quality stuff, 60% is an absolute no brainer. I sold my inventory at the beginning of the year to a friend, and i'm starting to regret how this all resolves. Maybe I should of sent you an email about a potential buyout, if I ever get back into video games i'll definitely hit you up.
Technically chase after the right price is the table buyer and big bundle buyer u can even thro retro rick in that big boy category but phoenix steeping up in the big boy game gotta respect it
Thats a really fair offer I myself typically pay between 40-70% depends whats there and if its on my buy list and I'm low on I will pay a little more just to have and in the end you don't make big margins but you will always have stock so when you get asked or sold out online you always have so you don't loose that sale and even when I pay on the lower end 40% its usually mid-lower end stuff still moves but the time it takes I end up parting some at wholesale and don't make much in the end if I profit with all the work and time fees costs 10-20% I'm happy as long as I can keep stock rotating and not be under, Caleb made a more then fair offer and I agree I know tones of stores will pay 30% even on quick sellers and rare items and 9/10 they will tell people sorry sold out or I will let you know when I get it in you have to be fair with seller and let them know its not what you see in the end we both make same profit margins
Caleb paid extremely well if you. I’ve dealt with people like that and well I get standing your ground on the price you want but when he’s paying more than anyone else and coming up already in price then you hit him with the 11,500. 😮.
Omg I called it. As I was watching this and seeing the negotiation and hearing both sides and prices I said the fair price would be 11.5k. That to me was that sweet spot. With 11.5k he could go on vacation and it wouldn’t hurt you as much.
@@maartenn2217so then why the heck would you allow this sale in your store? I can't go to gamestop and offer people more than gamestop tells them they'll give. Doesn't make any sense.
He said about a half dozen things that would have kept my offer at 5K at most. The last thing where he promised to call you first, but had already said he distributes to multiple other people was wild. I think the 13k he initially mentioned would be his exact earnings after tax, fees and shipping from eBay, but after 8 months since he’s priced high on mostly disc based games. the time on resurfacing things may make you break even. Hopefully the holiday bump makes this work out.
55% isnt bad, this is gold stock that you know how to sell. And you need to account for all the searching and sourcing of stock that you now don't have to do.
Seller has every right to name his price. But as a seller, there's no number that I "have to be" at. Take your P's & L's, get rid of product (as was his stated intention), and move on to the next deal. Take the money and make it work for you in the next deal.
55-60% for high quality games, could you get better rates sourcing them 1 at a time yes… but home much time did you save buying it all in 1 spot. Totally fair buy.
People who are criticizing Caleb for how he handled this are not well educated. Paying more than 10 for this is a huge risk and is banking off future business paying more. He took so many man hours out of that guys day. Especially since he said he was already listing high and has a brick and mortar store he could have gone way lower and still made a profit. He got that product thrifting which means he got it way lower than he’s selling. The man stood on business though good for him getting his.
I actually sell games to that store. I find really good deals at estate sales and he buys them for more than I paid and doubles his money when he sells them. We all make money
I would’ve walked away fast with his attitude… buddy kept trying to give you shots about how he knew you’d make so much money even though you were up front about the issues.
Not true on stores paying out only 25% to 35%. Especially for larger lots. Sure some larger lots can be low to mid tier prices for games. But having actual value and solid titles can clear you over 50%. I Have already experienced offers at or higher your percentage you ended at today.
20,000? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Unless he's got five boxes full of super rare games or he's charging way too much for all those common titles.
Love seeing all these greedy resellers in the comments "i wouldn't pay more than 40 to 50%" hate to break it to you guys...the competition is fierce right now for retro video games and i know PLENTY of people who WILL PAY 50 to 60% and even some up to 70% on high dollar rarer retro games...it all comes down to whos willing to make a little less then the next guy...but thats okay you yard sale bandits stay in your lane...i liked the seller dude knew what he had...i think most of the people in the comments are just mad that this wasnt little ole granny at the yard sale that you could rip off for a dollar a game
The reseller was unrealistic. 10k for 20k stuff is great price. no way i would even consider paying 50% at that big of a lot. Stuff gonna sit long time, he already has it listed and its sitting for him. 30-40% tops
if he's on the high end of ebay then he's already on the high end of price chart average (where caleb maxes out at for resale value). he should just run a sale on his store and get things moving. all of that has a nice sell through rate
Man, it’s rough seeing him push you the way he did considering the condition of some of the games, and the fact that this “$20,000” is him overcharging. I personally would have dipped as soon as he said no to the $10,000
Yeah so rough seeing this when we are so used to Caleb Doing it to others 😂 (i was wondering if you got a lil Wiggle Room) at every single interaction he does lol
I wouldn't be buying anymore of those NCAA 14s next year when the new one is coming out. The price for it will drop fast like as fast as the Sega master system got discontinued. 😂 Btw, you need a bigger vehicle.
glad to see people still don't know how business works. Just like how we pay 50 dollars for a hoodie that dont cost 50 dollars to make. It's only an issue when you watch it happen in person huh
U basically paid him exactly what he woulda got selling it all on ebay after fees and shipping and taxes. That dude new that and made out like a bandit
Loved that negotiating segment felt very raw and unfiltered. A lot of content creators usually just edit that part out and tell us if they made the deal or not and for how much.
Fair play to the guy for digging his heels in on the price.
The silence was deafening in that negotiation. 😂
In negotiations. Silence usually wins the deal. The one who keeps talking usually talks themselves out of the deal.
Loved the video Caleb, glad to be apart of one of your biggest buyouts. - Josh
Got another 10k worth of inventory you’d be interested in selling?
The store is unlisted on Google but I was finally able to find it

He is selling Amazon, which sells for above Price Charting
Also he is saving alot of time trying to find inventory so that's a factor
@kyleandow4844 yes and let's keep in mind this guy didn't buy bad shape items so at most need disc resurface on some cases for post part looks clean not much work needed and they were already organized too saves a lot of time he can pack and list all his Amazon games easily

Can't imagine those NCAA 14's will go up on value from here on out with the news that the new one is coming this summer
Totally agree, I'd imagine it's at its peak right now
Yep it will tank, The only reason it got so high is because they stopped making it and everyone won't care anymore once the new one comes out because it is not a rare game at all.
For 11.5 that’s a steal, people don’t realize how hard it is to collect/find those high demand games
Lol that's 4k too much.
These are the type of videos I like. Just a classic haggle and business deal. Dude was very professional. Props Caleb.
The one thing I CANT STAND about this video is the seller saying he has connections who hold video games for him at thrift shops. No one should be aloud to do that. That should be fair game for everyone. That part annoyed me.
Yep. It’s kinda like buying shoes that are wanted. Can’t even get a pair for market price because of resellers. Which has changed recent but this goes for anything up for resale.
oh no, imagine not selling to a weasel
That's a little racist.

Missing out on inventory because it won’t fit in the Prius? Dude, get a new car. It’s costing you money.

Yep, 60% for avoiding all those extra fees is great, not to mention somewhat niche buyers, shipping, returns, fraud, etc.
That big of a lot should've been 40-50% max especially considering the condition. 10k should've been max

so funny to see his reaction as soon as he said he feels comfortable at 10k LOL
That deal was HARD
Great vid homie
Yoooo this deal went hard AF got me (laughing) hard breh
Yoo that was a good video, nice and tense XD
This was a great buy
I would've been out the door so fast when that guy said he wanted 13 or 14K for the lot. Yikes.
Remember to stay safe when dealing in cash! Especially at ATMs and when you go to your car. Otherwise, great deal.
I think this content is 10x better than your main channel.
Everyone that sells you games is your new friend
Yeah cause Caleb only see dollars sign when he look at people
If he took that to anyone else, retro store, retro gamer, collector, a homeless man they’d would of gave him 2k on a good day
