I have mad respect for all of you guys, including Caleb. I basically found each channel through the other, pretty much found you guys and then through you guys that's where I found not only retro Rick but gabbo and Caleb and mort and gone though old seasons of the game chasers and went back to watching storage wars after stopping a number of years ago just to find the episodes with Dusty. All of you guys, Riff & Ricky especially, Make all this feel more than just a community, like we're all really good friends by extension. I learned a lot about what to look for at flea markets and swap meets more carefully All thanks to Riff,

I used to watch Caleb when he was Sub 70K and thoroughly enjoyed his videos. But little by little I just didn't enjoy his behind the scenes reselling and buying practices. I get it he's a reseller he needs to pay his bills. But after personally selling off my 90 percent of my collection I genuinely felt like I was getting ripped off By Caleb himself 😂😂😂 But let's be Honest the running Joke of Pixel game squad and Other constantly calling him A scumbag reseller really isn't helping him either.

I wouldn’t have found reselling, or started my (very tiny) KZfaq channel if it wasn’t for Caleb. I would love to be able to have done what he has done. I just don’t find games for as good of deals or as consistently as he does. So now I just sell everything. But he got me started. I’ll never be able to make the connection of why people hate resellers. I think everyone should do it. Even as a side hustle. Why not have more money in your pocket?

Right or wrong, resellers are essentially making money at the expense of somebody else. Essentially the same reason people just destroy game stop for the amount they pay people for their games. Caleb is just essentially a one-man mobile game stop. The only part I dislike is the exchange between resellers at conventions and such that inflates the prices of games and collectibles. It prices out people from purchasing items they genuinely want. Love the pod!!
@seraph741
@seraph741 Ай бұрын
Perfectly said. It really is that simple. It's not as bad when a collector sells games because it's occasional and they don't make their living from it (and therefore it doesn't affect market price as much). People dislike middlemen in any industry because the mindset is that they just increase prices to make a profit without adding any value.

I wish I could have talk to Caleb about the Gamecube gambit as a turning point in his channel. There is things he doesn't seem to realize. I saw him at Midwest gaming classic but just meeting someone for the first time and being like 'hey let me criticize you' isn't really a nice thing to do. But to start with people were living vicariously through him. We can't just go out and buy every gamecube game we want, we were watching Caleb do it and empathizing those feelings ourselves. So when he sells his collection it goes against what a large majority of people would do and we feel 'betrayed' or at least it breaks that immersion that brought us to the channel in the first place. For most people who collect games, when you collect it you want it forever, you don't sell it without a very good reason or a very long thought process. And I could go on but it at least starts there.

Love Caleb and his content. I collect and feel so great when I get a grail, but I do resell because I feel instead of something collecting dust on my shelf, I want to get it on to the next person who is going to enjoy it. Reselling actually drops the price of games because the more on the market the less they are worth. Personally without resellers some of these grails would be 3x the price.

I got into reselling about a year BEFORE I discovered retro Rick and Phoenix resale and the whole KZfaq reseller scene. I have no problem with reselling in general (though of course I find it tiresome that it’s harder to find deals for me personally) but the KZfaq scene has definitely contributed to rising prices. I had an obscure PS4 game on auction on eBay (thought it was on “Buy it Now”) and it didn’t move for weeks and then Metal Jesus Rocks did a video on it as a hidden gem and it sold that same week for FOUR TIMES what I thought was the buy it now price.

People just want to hate. People sometimes get upset if someone finds a game for a certain price and sells it at value. They want the price you paid. But you did the work. You hunted. I never understood the hate for Caleb because he literally came into the community reselling. People shouldn’t count peoples pockets or be so concerned with other’s business. But what I realized with the gaming community and KZfaq, people really become invested so there is a thin line. People also don’t really actually know people, their character, or their personality. What I realized just seeing Caleb and being around him frequently especially at SoCal is Caleb is pretty quiet. People often judge character poorly and sometimes things get misinterpreted. They think because he doesn’t socialize as much that he’s a bad person but that’s not true. He’s different. What I gather is he stays to himself and talk to who he wants. Nothing wrong with it. Another great episode fellas! Salute to everyone there. All great guys that I can vouch for

I think the majority of hate for resellers comes from collectors, because everyone hates the middleman. Collectors want to pay the prices that are as low as possible to keep the item for themselves. Resellers want to pay the lowest price possible to make as much as possible when it's resold. The reason I don't mind a reseller is because I'm not going to go out to the yard sales and the swap meets and thrift stores looking for this stuff. So in my opinion the money they make off the item is justified for the time it takes to go search for all this stuff.

Caleb is super right, not to hate on Kody with a k but look at him. He is the definition of an underdog. He is flipping crazy returns and is getting so much love, in a couple years, people are going to hate him due to the fact that he is ripping ppl off, he’s personality is what saving him. Again, I’m not hating because I do bait trades too but just goes to show how people are so biased

Top 2 reasons people hate Caleb: 1. His Amazon store has worse prices than DKOldies and he acts like a smug business know it all when his whole business model is ripping off old women who buy games on Amazon 2. GameCube Gambit

Caleb is a bean counter. Right or wrong, people hate bean counters and as analytics continue to have a greater impact on our lives the more intense the feelings towards such things will escalate. Sports are a good microcosm of that. Many fans, athletes, and media members hate the prevalence of analytics because they see them as removing the human elements of the game.

I came across some random channel of this guy who put out multiple videos trashing Caleb. Really some of the most pathetic videos I've ever seen with the him trashing on him for re-selling, but also his looks, and even his car and the backpack he carries around. The jealousy and envy from the guy was through the roof, and I'd say that's probably a good 90% of where the hate comes from for everyone else. Just people so unhappy in their lives and situations they want to bring other people down. It's that simple.

Why do resellers, be it store owners or not, hardly ever mention at what percent they're buying collections/items? Probably rhetorical, but interested in opinion. Enjoying the Podcast.

Say what you want, but his channel seems to be growing in views/subscribers quicker then some of the others in his “group” are.

No one has problems with video game stores, just individuals that sell online at smaller margins. They are going after the wrong guys if they want to be mad. (There's nothing wrong with either)

Ive been reselling for more than 30 years. Before video games and ebay you could go to garage sales and find "antiques" and sell those to specialty shops and nobody cared. I think a lot of the hate with video games comes with a lot of entitlement game collectors have. Oh that game was $5 a few years ago and now it's well over $50 thanks to resellers. There's usually a lot of factors that go into why one item has intrinsic value and what makes that value rise, and sometimes people just need to point a finger and blame somebody. I do know that some haters out there worked at places like GameStop. Lol.

The funny thing that nobody really gets is it’s not really the resellers that have jacked up the prices, it’s the people that have money now that missed out on things when they were kids. And it’s all about the supply and demand, they want those old games and bid higher and higher on eBay making the value go up. That’s capitalism, welcome to America lol And on top of that the pandemic made things explode because anyone that ever had any interest in gaming bought those things because a lot of them had nothing else to do so they bought that stuff. Personally I have multiple hobbies that can be expensive and I don’t make a ton of money so I look for anything that I can to make money on and then find the stuff I want. And like Retro Rick and other KZfaqrs say you need to ask at garage sales when you want to get video games or whatever else, it works for sure, a few weeks ago my town had city wide garage sales and I scored at a few sales, the biggest lot wasn’t even out, I got it because I asked, and I sold about half of it a couple weeks later for 10x what I paid, which is helping me pay part of my credit card so that’s helping me a ton too. There’s nothing wrong with reselling whether it’s your job or side hustle and in my opinion the people that cry about it the most are simply just jealous, and some are even sitting in their parents basement and don’t have a job…lol

I feel like the hate is just a meme. “Every one hates Caleb!” is itself a meme that Riff and Rick do. So I don’t think it’s real hate, it’s just part of the meme and people joining in to the meme created mainly by Riff and Rick.
