Hey I know that guy!

I have absolutely NO problem with how/what people collect. If you want your game collection for shelf art, okay. If you want to play it everyday, that's awesome. If you want to horde all those games because it makes you feel good, then do it! There's no right or wrong with this sh!t and we have to knock gatekeepers off their high horses. I have a very modest retro game collection and I dont play these games every day. And I'm fine with that. I started collecting, again, because I was feeling nostalgia for those great days growing up in the 90s and I wanted to go back. It's all good, do what makes you happy.

I hate that people are giving him shit. He’s absolutely right. Selling individual items on eBay can make you tons of money but once you have a huge collection good luck trying to sell it. They struck a fair deal and I’m sure he didn’t get full market value for it all but I’d take the $40,000 to just be done with the hassle.

Bro, I can watch hours of people talk about their experience on how they attained certain games and their history with it. This was such a good video

Seeing the whole collection was really satisfying. I also loved hearing some of the background on certain items and games, gives them some real sentimental value. Love to see it, keep up the good work bros 👍

Reminder: you're not getting scammed if you're the one who sets the price. RGT knew exactly what he had and settled on the price himself. Just like I knew I was basically donating my collection to a local retro game store years ago rather than getting anywhere close to it's real value, but I just wanted it gone due to life changes. Sometimes being able to get rid of a large collection at once instead of trying to piece it out for months is a better option if money doesn't matter to you.

Broooooooooo so happy yall made this collaboration video!! I've been waiting for you to drop this one love

Damn that boy phoenix BALLIN, love to see it. Good move on both ends, really cleared some of my questions as to how collectors feel having these big collections.

Nice. Been waiting for this one. I watch renix pesale mostly, but this video is the best I’ve seen on this channel in a long time.

Awesome video! Great buy, and congrats to RGT for a fresh start.

This video really shows how high class these 2 dudes are. Really good stuff!

This was a wonderful video. Shoutout to RGT85 to allow you to document this. It was a tough decision for him but one that does find him at peace and as he said “it’s all about the video games!”. The Louisville Slugger was a nice touch, reminded me of the bottles of wine we found on the kitchen that were gifted to us by the sellers of the house my wife & I had just closed on. Overall well done!

Awesome video great to see behind the scenes of the RGT85 man cave!

Love it! I am at the tail end of selling off my game collection and focusing on toys. Great video and awesome to see RGT is happy.

Two plane rides is and also all the other work to buy the entire collection is insane. RGT was right to sell at a discounted price

Love this. Really awesome to see you two collab. Always love the creator collars.

Enjoyed this video/ colab! I'm glad everything worked out for everyone 😊

Two of my favorite YTers! Hopefully you two can do more colabs in the future! I really enjoyed this video!

I love this video!!! This is amazing how people connect through video games!!!

All the work that goes into trying to resell a collection this big is crazy. I get overwhelmed when i have a couple boxes of stuff to list. Great buy thou awesome collection.

Been waiting for this! Crossovers are always great lol

Just Woaw, that collection and that basement-tour, i'm stunned.

hell yeah. Congrats Caleb. People have no idea how hard it is the get rid of a collection that huge and they also have no idea how much work it is to sell it or have the cash to buy one. Way to go all around

The coolest crossover that none of us expected. Best video yet

glad to see rgt85 being happy !

Great video Caleb! I knew RGT85 had a big collection but wow!! Keep the videos coming!

Glad to see my favorite Reseller KZfaqr and Nintendo KZfaqr collab!

The awkward moments when you both want to hold the item.. I can't unsee this lol

Finally I've been waiting for this to dropped

Been waiting all week for this

RGT sounds like he wakes up and smokes blunts on the daily

Wooo Let's Go! Phoenix Realse & List is the vibe :)

I've been watching RGT, its a really nice guy, and he said he was selling his collection a while back, because of several reasons. Must have been a though decision, but i know several collectors who have done this, and selling is not the end of the world. Life is not just collecting, theres a lot to do, but if you want to collect just to display items, its fine, same goes for playing the games, or even if it just for fun. Whatever makes you happy its just fine. And as a collector pushing 39 , i understand that sometimes you have to let go, even some items you have fond memories with it. And as someone said, he's happy with this. Also, it was a nice gift Caleb, he love baseball! Awesome video as usual Caleb, keep it up!

I did exactly the same thing and it was one of the most liberating experiences ever. My place was starting to look like a junk shop. The only physical media I buy now is first party Switch games so I can trade them as soon as I'm finished because they hold more value than PS5 or Xbox games. I have a laptop that I run emulation (Arcade/PS1/PS2/DC/GC/PCE/MSX) with my Series S controller and a PS5 and Series S where everything is digital. People talk a lot about physical games, but I've been through that phase and come out the other side. You think you're going to play it all, but you don't. It just takes up space. Then there's the remakes. RE4, Ikaruga Remastered, Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime have been fantastic and 4 games I've taken out of my GC emulation collection. I hope to see more. Even though I emulate, I also have 101 Arcade Archives games, 30 ACA NEOGEO games, all of the M2 Shot Triggers, Darius and Ray Force games on PS5, my 360 collection on Series S and all of the Sega Ages games on Switch with all the Live Wire Cave shmups and a whole bunch of arcade style games. I love that M2 and Hamster exist and take emulation so seriously and eliminate latency where others just don't bother. I love the convenience of it all. I can just start a game with a controller.

Big fans of your work! We have learned so much from you!

Gotta love RGT. He's actually my favorite Nintendo KZfaqr!

two favorite gaming youtubers together today is a good day

The episode i've been waiting for!

Great video! Love both of your channels!

Two awesome guys. Anyone who is a gamer with retro games is a good dude period.

This is the collab that everyone wanted and didn't even know it! Love this!

People saying being ripped off however to see all those items on eBay he would pay fees on each then shipping then deal with any returns and issues then have the time to load up every single game online. once you factor it all in there's a reason why people do this its for convienience and peace of mind. Nice to see you both happy with the deal and F the haters they mostly salty

DDR Mario Mix! the only Nintendo game where Waluigi is the final boss.

RGT is such a cool dude. I love his channel and I learned about you through him

After watching RGTs video of this I finally figured it out. Caleb reminds me of Flanders from the Simpsons. I can’t believe I missed it. Okelie Dokelie!

Wow, you bought part my favorite *Nintendo KZfaqr's* collection 🤯 *IYKYK*

28:35 I have to confess that’s a great collection, a great buy, and a great way to make a new friend. I really hope I get to meet you both one day.

This was awesome to watch!

Recently found your channel about a month ago and im hooked! interesting to see all these deals take place. Keep up the good work

Been so looking forward to this my favourite 2 youtube creators

I have been waiting for this!

This is basically me i only collect things i remember pre college and wanted or played. He has a ton of great stuff that many people will enjoy.

Great deep dive into one of my favorite Nintendo KZfaqr's collection

27:00 "No REGERTS" Absolutely amazing quote for the ages. Poetic AF

Been waiting for this can’t believe I’m a day late 😂

Been waiting to see this one!

I like it when rgt85 just talks normally instead of his content of always complaining

😂😂 ridiculous you took all that to go from Kentucky to Connecticut I can't stop laughing I really can't

been waiting for this video

We’ve all been waiting on this episode

For anyone who thinks RGT85 got ripped off, he is extremely satisfied to be rid of the games, especially all at once

@RGT85 wow can't believe you decided to Sell your Collection. But, Seeing who bought all your stuff is AMAZING. Congrats to you Phoenix for acquiring this collection .

I'm just glad you're keeping PZD and Dragon Force Shawn. I was worried for a second

Love that buddy is rocking a donut media sweater lol

Not gonna lie, I'm always going to be somewhat jealous of the RGT85's/Brittney Brombacher's/Pat Contri's/Metal Jesus Rocks/John Hancock's, etc. to be able to own such a nice, large home to house their collections. The vast majority of the high end of my collection is Tetris'd in my living room closet or in the new storage locker I just had to start renting last week. Great colab with you and RGT 85. That had to be somewhat scary driving that collection from Connecticut to Kentucky.

This dude is SO me! I rely so heavily on emulation and an overall digital collection of games and became obsessed with collecting boxed toys. Glad to know I'm not the only one LOL.

I've been waiting to see this video for months

When phoenix resale drops its a good day!!

Yoshu riding Mario was the best part of the video😭

Hi Caleb, would you ever make a follow up video to one of your main videos? meaning since you use expected profit to purchase more switch items, I thought it would be really cool for viewers if you could take all of the items from one of the videos you used to purchase more switch gear and show the follow up of what each item actually ended up selling for. Just a thought because I find myself wondering if it always ends up being what you predicted. Love your videos!

When yall pulled out the SupaBoy i was like wth, i thought it was the Soulja Boy game console😂

I’ve been looking forward to this.

Feels like being a kid in a candy store just looking at all the games and cool stuff he has/had

Excellent video. Came here from RGT85 and added you.

I forgot that Ys Origin was on the switch. Also that's one hell of a collection purchase. I didn't even know there was a Turbo Grafyx 16 mini.

Love the donut hoodie maybe our man's is selling off to buy some projects haha

Really enjoyed this one!

Editor Riff coming in 😂, más props

I can't believe our favorite Nintendo KZfaqr sold his game collection😮‍💨

My 32X finds have been very odd. in my 20+ years of game hunting, I have found very few 32X games, but I found 3 CIB copes of Knuckes Chaotix between 2011-2012. they were just randomly mixed into random lots I got at garage sales.

Now we need the editor riff and rgt crossover

Yo that’s my fav Nintendo KZfaqr! Nice!

Who caught the "40k correction on the bat?" Nice video. Cool collection

That big ass mirror in his collection room kept throwing me off lol, makes the space look way bigger than it is.

Loved that game room!

I kind of did the same thing with my collection years back. I sold all my SNES, Saturn, Dreamcast, DS/3DS, PS1, PS2, PS3, XB games & consoles. Like him I just wasn’t playing any of it & could use the space for other things.

Awesome love you both great content

Oh look its rgt85, my favourite Nintendo youtuber

Best resaler and Nintendo KZfaqr collaboration of all time

Forget ENDGAME this is the colab of the century

RGT is wonderful , great video!

That’s very massive games collection I’ve seen.

I still can't believe you got Mike Shinoda to edit your videos

this video just blows my mind. that much fucking games, consoles, accessories.toys. it would be so cool just to be able to live in that mans house for a day and just see everything, AMAZING!!!!!

I want the yoshi riding mario stickers. That shits priceless.

@Phoenix Resale I just watched an old video of yours where you were doing urban vs rural pawn shops and you said in the video that you lowered the price of the leads discord to 15 dollars, still says 28 when I went to sign up. Is the main page incorrect or did the price go back up to 28?

Wow wow deal man keep it up ❤ it see you on the next 😊😊

Not gonna lie, in the 90's ordering games directly from the publisher was the way to go. I would always get Madden before it arrived in stores b/c I filled out the card on the first SNES release and they would always send offers to buy from them. I stopped doing this after going to college, but a decade later in Nov. 2009 I got Dragon Age Origins CE direct from EA and it arrived on Friday before the Tuesday release.

Nice haul!!! I have a big collection too lol wanna buy it😝 don’t really wanna sell it cause I always thought I’d like to start my own game store, but I moved to Canada and it’s just proving to be a hassle to get it here from the US😣 only problem is idk the value🤔

I got rid of the majority of my collection over the course of the last 8 years or so for the same reasons. The games are playable a million different ways now but I held on to the stuff that means something. There comes a time when you realize these hunks of plastic can mean the world to someone else instead of collecting dust on a shelf
