I can't help but wonder how many people are doing the same thing this guy is doing right now. Got into collecting when it was cheap, got out of hand, and now with the abundance of ways to play games so much easier, want to cash out on it all at once. Caleb, just from a viewer's perspective, I'd much rather you unbox all of this stuff and lay it out in a 10-minute video rather than in a parking lot where the sound sucks. Appreciate you, sir!
Not sure why people get so tilted about stuff like this. You cannot “scam” someone if you both know the total value and agree upon a price. It’d be one thing if he didn’t know what he had, but that’s very clearly not the case. He didn’t “leave” $35k on the table either. $67k assumes you get average PC value on everything, which quite frankly, you’re not going to get. If he sold this all on eBay, he’s losing 15% from fees, so that’s something to factor in. Time is a huge factor. If you value your time at x dollars an hour - how much investment are you making in selling this? There’s a reason people don’t want to spend time selling everything individually. A lot of leg work and headache dealing with buyers. If both parties are happy, then that’s all that matters. Hopefully the dude came out on top in the end. This was a sick collection - would love to have most of it in my collection.
40%!!? Wtf. I see people selling their collection everyday on FB. I consolidated over 300 items in a month for only a 3k loss. I love the hunting vids but it pains me to see someone just being like meh to thousands of dollars lmao
He values his time but drives 32 hours round trip? That's a week of full-time work right there. Not to mention these are all gems, didn't see a ton of old Madden games in there. Lots of time and work to move this much stuff, sure... but be realistic: All this stuff would sell fast.
People just don't realize that selling a collection in it's entirety is not something you can just post on marketplace and hope someone meets you at McDonalds to give you cash for. Sure if it's small enough (
Great video as always, keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to the next one. Just out of curiosity for Phoenix Resale when will you do an entire video dedicated to the game room because the last one that I remember is the CRT TV video.
Why do people just come here to comment mean shit? I dont get it. If you dont like it. Dont watch. Your hate comments are just feeding the algorithm more anyways. 😂 getting him more traction and making him more money. Like... what is happening in your life right now that makes you feel the need to jump into the Comment section and just completely shit on everything about him. His apperance. The amount he pays. The way he runs his business. Where he chooses to meet up with random strangers on the internet to do these deals. Literally everything. The fact of the matter is, If the people bringing the goods to him weren't happy with what he was going to pay they wouldn't have sold it to him. Caleb's gonna make money and the other guy is going to walk away with money in his pocket and less crap cluttering his house. I'm sure they're both happy with the deal. And commenting on peoples appearance is just straight up rude. I just dont get the negativity of the online community. Spread kindness, not hatred.
I have a box that's currently packed up due to us moving and building a home... The box is the size of maybe 4 shoe boxes stacked up and it holds about $45K in video games (no graded games either). It would sit in the front seat of this car easily...lol
I’m sure the seller is happy cuz the other buyers where not even close to Caleb’s offer.. If Caleb’s offer was the highest offer I’m sure he had no problem meeting in a parking lot… Compared to a game store that would of offered him maybe less than 10-15% inside the AC… Glad both parties were happy with this deal…
He says in the video he’s going to sell the boxed consoles for half of market so that means he paid less than half of market. He’s so lucky. I never get offers for half of market. People want 80% pricecharting. I’d spend 10/20,000 on someone’s collection if I could get the stuff for less than half pricecharting. You’re a lucky man Caleb.
Most people in my area try to sell there second hand consoles for what they are brand new , switches are the most annoying as in ads will have a switch with one game for £320 …I can buy a switch oled brand new for £280-300 or there switch has very obvious wear and tear and are asking ridiculous prices
wouldnt be suprised if he made out even at the end of the day if he started 10 yrs ago which makes this a great deal for him getting all his $ back practically
That way u can organize your ride better if have it laid out and the distance you’re walking back and forth on the hard pavement imagine dripping one of those things 😮😅
46% seems a bit low to me. Of course it's different from place to place, but where I'm at resellers and such usually pay about 60-70% of market value...
Wtf are you talking about. Who in their right mind is paying 70 percent retail. Ebay and Amazon take 15 to 20. Then your time and work leaves 10 percent. Now take taxes out and you lost money. Your a bit confused
@@adammonahan687 I did not say retail. I said market value. And believe it or not, there are other sites than Ebay and Amazon. The biggest online auction site in Scandinavia only takes 10%... So there's that.
I don’t see how people could be upset with 46%. Do they not understand that businesses have overhead? Do they not understand that $31,000 is a lot to have on hand just to pay out all at once. Most LGS operate on such thin margins because these same people refuse to pay anything but lowest eBay comp. Therefore they never really get the opportunity to build a nest egg of liquid cash for when the opportunity to purchase a collection like this comes around. All in all. 46% is a very reasonable and fair offer. Especially considering you are taking everything at once.
Same. No hate to Caleb but I would rather just sell it myself and pocket the roughly $35,000 he left on the table even if it did take some work. All it takes is patience.
To all you people saying he should have met somewhere else… where? His house? So some stranger can kill his family? Sell something online and let a stranger into your house.
I wish I would get taken for 50 percent drive 16 hrs and can't get a meal or do the deal in the A/C just imagine what ppl do to get a video on the second channel thats crazy I know Caleb finesse him
Good video and deal for you, I just think this guy will regret his decision because his reason for selling of “growing up” is just a childish mindset in and of itself.
@@maartenn2217cool story, the dude made an ignorant and objectively dumb statement by basically saying the only way to grow up is to give up video games, your hobby and that’s how you grow up. It’s a childish mindset to have and anyone who knows anything knows that’s not how the world works or what makes someone an adult.
Maybe the dude needs money to buy a house? Maybe he has a child on the way? I’m a collector but totally understand the concept of growing up could mean selling your video game collection. There are plenty of things that take priority
Love the video, dang hater hanks! They dont know the work that you still gotta do to sell and list all of this stuff, you gave him a great offer, he was happy im sure and that's all that matters
@@carlospandette8001Because this isn't a collection filled with old Madden games. Lots of boxed consoles, sealed games, Pokémon, and Working Designs titles. All expensive stuff.
@@DP12321 SO? Rule still applies, how TF you gonna pay full price for a lot??!! A LOT?? That doesn't make sense, this is business. I hope you pay full market price then in flea markets and garage sales if you find these "expensive" items if that's your logic, get TF outta here.
There are people out there that will pay 55%-60% for collections all day long...Some of them are in the popular Facebook collecting groups and are well known in the community. I even know a couple of people that will pay 70+% for quality collections. No way anyone should ever sell a collection of this caliber for 46%. Hell I'd pay 50% for a collection and I'm not a reseller...I'd just add what i wanted to my collection then hopefully trade most of the rest.
NO WAY NOT THIS GUY AGAIN & I SEE HE CHANGED HIS NAME FROM PHOENIX RESALE to Renix Pesale I CAN'T STAND THIS GUY and HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CRITICISM FROM THE VIEWERS, JUST WATCH HE'LL REPLY WITH SOMETHING NEGATIVE IN THE COMMENTS.👎
P.S. I'm referring to Renix Pesale he just makes my skin crawl his face, even his glasses just remind me of the peeping tom that lived nextdoor to me this Renix Pesale..
There was some really weird ass energy going on in this video. Seemed like Caleb couldnt be arsed even being there or listening to that fella. Suppose its because he wasnt a big CZcamsr so he didnt feel like gobbling him.
That's an odd take. If it were me, I'd feel pretty anxious and preoccupied knowing I just spent $30,000. I would be doing the same thing, trying to make sure all the stuff I'm paying an average person's yearly salary for is there and accounted for, and also as-described. That on top of trying to make a CZcams video, yeah, social decorum is probably going to flag a little bit.
If you’re going to ask a question, at least pay attention when the guy responds to you. He seemed to have a lot of great info and you maybe would have learned a thing or two if you listened lol. Really rude. Not to mention just blatantly talking about how you’re going to resell his shit to his face. Unreal lol

Great purchase 👏
46% doesnt sound generous until you hear its over 30k 😳
Nobody is rising in capital the way that Penix rises
I agree, I can think of one more. Chase After the Right Price
Seems like a chill guy, big ass collection he sold
This was really cool. I enjoy the long form content.

He’s just gonna sell the game room anyways why even bother?

That guy parked so bad haha. Came out snooping, seeing what you guys were doing lol
🎉Suggestion. I would bring a mat or a blanket. That way you can lay it all out easier and we can see it better 😅
I didn’t know you could fit 67,000 worth of games in a crossover!
I have a box that's currently packed up due to us moving and building a home... The box is the size of maybe 4 shoe boxes stacked up and it holds about $45K in video games (no graded games either). It would sit in the front seat of this car easily...lol
gotta love the old guy who double parks in looking at the video like wtf going on 😂 21:00
It's amazing people will do all the years of work to collect this and not do the work to sell it all on eBay to maximize profit in the end
Phoenix Resale looks like he just wanted to pay the man and BOUNCE with all those GOODIES 😂.
I’m sure the seller is happy cuz the other buyers where not even close to Caleb’s offer..

Caleb is like "yea yea ok here's your 6.9% now stfu"
I normally agree with most of the money saving measures for the business, but idk about the 6.00 a game for battery service
The f zero there was a bunch found years ago sealed in cases it was on a episode of game chasers
Super cool collection purchase! Although I feel like every time Caleb asked this guy a question he’d almost immediately start talking over him lol
If you think 46% is a ripoff or anything...then you don't know business. Renix offers way more than he should
Wow wow deal man keep it up see you on the next ❤ it 😊😊
Caleb- asks questions about the collection, then proceeds to interrupt him five seconds into the story 🤣 😂

He drives 16 hours and he wasn't even allowed to do the deal at your house, Caleb? Lol
😂😂 at least take the guy to eat
I dont want a stranger to dox my home address LOL
A stranger willing to drive 16 hours is definitely someone I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving my home address to
If ripped somebody off would you tell them where you lived lol😂😂😂
@@igotgame1621 I guess resellers should give people 100% of value huh. Maybe a reach around too?
It would be interesting to know what he spent on the collection to what it appreciated to.
Like $67k sounds crazy to spend over 10 years so
wouldnt be suprised if he made out even at the end of the day if he started 10 yrs ago which makes this a great deal for him getting all his $ back practically
Interesting that not all games might be check prior to sending to the buyers; sort of seems important but then again maybe not
That way u can organize your ride better if have it laid out and the distance you’re walking back and forth on the hard pavement imagine dripping one of those things 😮😅
When is the convention in south Carolina????
20:26 shout out to the guy that double parked while completely confused
My OCD kicked in...lol
I would've taken the 50k at lest. most of that stuff was giving for free within that sale.

$35k Bulk Game Collection 🎮👾💥👽
This was super epic
my all time fav game is Alundra
I don’t see how people could be upset with 46%. Do they not understand that businesses have overhead? Do they not understand that $31,000 is a lot to have on hand just to pay out all at once.

I think it's because this is such a high-value collection. Doesn't seem like there's much bulk in there. Didnt see many old Maddens in there.
Maybe the money you saved on that collection you can buy yourself some adult size shorts.almost saw your PokeBalls.
Just a bit more than a paycheck
At 40% i would sell myself if i was him.
But great collection to pickup for your buisness for sure
Same. No hate to Caleb but I would rather just sell it myself and pocket the roughly $35,000 he left on the table even if it did take some work. All it takes is patience.
Even selling it yourself you’d be getting like 80% after shipping and fees. If you’ve got the time, it’s still worth it.
@@triforcelink Also...don't forget taxes if you're selling it yourself through eBay. No chance this guy actually reports this income on his taxes...🤣
@@davidj.9432 good point, that’s another 20%+
80% before or after taxes paid to the government 😂
wow man the comments on here are unreal. the way i see it is this was an agreement between these 2 men. that is all at the end of the day. peace.
jesus, you bought a used cadillac worth of games from this dude
Just sayin…stuff over there and more over there stuff everywhere. Lol
You look pretty tall

Don't mind cursing, but at least ya could have spelled discretion correctly. Lol
Caleb has also definitely been hitting the gym
If he had of just spent 16 hours listing this stuff on ebay he would have tripled his money
True
Another game collection sold and bought
So?
Why not park the car closer :p
