I bought a 50 item customer Amazon customer returns box from eBay.
Was it pure Junk? Was it worth it? Did I get a bargain? and it is possible to make any money with it?
Let's see what items are inside, and if we can repair anything that's broken.
I thought this would be an interesting and quite fun video as I'd come across things that I wouldn't normally buy.

The idea of buying one of these boxes is tempting, but my house is already full of junk and I just know I wouldn't be able to bring myself to bin any of it, so I'd just end up with more junk to store forever.

We started by donating things to charity and ended with a commercial dumpster parked in front of the house...

I'd say 90+% of Amazon returns are not broken. If you're a Prime subscriber it's a no-brainer to buy stuff to try and if you don't like it it's very easy to return. As soon as you've lodged it with the return carrier they give your refund. This box of stuff is practically 99% useless to anyone, I guess sometimes one could score something useful from one of these boxes but you'd have to buy half a dozen boxes of rubbish first.

For broken bits of plastic like the dvd player mech, hot staples work a treat as they have great strength once cooled.

@BuyitFixit 5 месяцев назад

Hmm interesting. I'd not heard of using those before.

@alexandergreenfield91 5 месяцев назад

@@BuyitFixit fantastic for plastic repairs as the steel gives real strength. The steel gauze to reinforce when melted into the plastic can be great for some jobs too. I've even repaired a badly split car bumper with them and they held, to give you an idea of the strength. And the whole set is only about £15 bud. 👍🏼

@generaldisarray 10 месяцев назад

I'm a new sub and I have to say your content is fantastic, you don't turn a repair into miniseries. You take the thing apart, diagnose the problem, get the parts you need, fix the issue and that's that. I know it probably takes a lot of time from start to finish especially when you have to wait for parts, but it's great to see the issue resolved in one video, rather than several over a number of weeks. What you can do to the plastic to reinforce it, without adding too much bulk, is take some thin gauze roll, or those thin gauze pads/squares, and use them and superglue like laying up sheets of fibreglass and resin to cover the break. The non-woven gauze gives it structural strength while giving the super glue polymer a excellent structure to bond to.

@BuyitFixit 10 месяцев назад

Hardly, as it’s not an original Apple product. Don’t think Amazon is loosing money on selling a box like this.

@GannDolph 9 месяцев назад

@@hanric2000 How do you know it's not a genuine Apple lightning AV adapter? The lightning AV adapter is a very complex dongle, containing a tiny ARM Cortex CPU with 2 Gb of RAM, all responsible for converting a serial H.264 video stream to HDMI on the fly. I've never seen a functional third party knockoff of this dongle and I have purchased one from Amazon myself. They are an Apple authorized dealer and sell the genuine item. As far as Amazon not losing money on returns, that is absolutely false. Amazon (and third party sellers) loose billions on returns and sells off pallets of misc returned items on an auction basis. They also throw away a large quantity of returned items by shipping them directly to landfill. You can easily confirm all of the above information with a few minutes of internet/google research. In the future perhaps you will consider doing some research before posting factually inaccurate or unsubstantiated comments.

23:00 I have found that most of the time when a disc catches, it is the fault of the pickup assembly being misaligned due to one of the rubber dampeners not being installed correctly, I think that the disc is supposed to be closer to the control panel in this case. But having the foresight to have a rotary tool and grinding bit ready was brilliant, made the fix much easier, kudos.

A similar reverse camera for my last car looked like that. It had a small loop of wire you cut to flip the video. It all depended on where you mounted it. I had 4... reverse, off both mirrors for lane changes and 1 that came on when I was under 3?mph off the front bumper for watching the curb.

@BuyitFixit 2 месяца назад

Those dents in the top of the DvD player seems to match the power plug, so I think that's what caused the damage during shipping.

@BuyitFixit 9 месяцев назад

@Belidos3D 9 месяцев назад

The reverse camera is meant to be horizontally flipped so that the output is a mirror image. This is necessary because the camera and the driver face opposite directions, and without it, the camera's right would be on the driver's left and vice versa. The coloured lines are there so you can measure and judge distance to the curb or other vehicles etc.

Morning mate, just watching the video and the camera is right to be reversed, it just means when your reversing if you turn the wheel left the cam takes you left, cracking work as always

@BuyitFixit 8 месяцев назад

@stevefox3763 Год назад

That reversing cam, they often ship mirrored like that and with those irritating lines in the image, if you open it up and research the board inside, there are usually option pads to remove the lines as well as mirroring and image flip. The mirror image is actually desirable for a reversing cam but the lines have to go!

I also got a smartphone with a damaged screen but it works. I got a faulty blutooth speaker, all it does is tuirn itself on and off all the time, even if you tunr it off by it's power button it still does it, it did it all night. I was just hearing it's power chimes, I ended up opening it up just to disconnect the battery. I also got some wireless philliups headphones which charged and powered on, but my phones wont detect them.

@mrjsv4935 Год назад

Very interesting video, cool items and nice fixes :) The portable cd player seems to be a manufacturing problem, or even a design flaw. I wonder if all those cd players are not working, or is there some unique manufacturing problem in this particular unit, perhaps some unfinished mold seams that contacted the disc, preventing it from spinning? I remember in 2001 when I was installing internet connection to my PC from cd-rom disc, and the disc drive didn't want to spin it. Turned out there was a problem with the disc itself. The center hole wasn't perfectly round, so I sanded it a bit, and then it started working properly. That same PC 3,5" disk drive had another problem, the ribbon data cable connector wasn't properly installed, it was just partially in, putted there by brute force instead of skill, and one pin was bent & not connected. I found it out, as the disk drive wasn't fully working, was not able to make Windows backup disk, but for some reason the drive seemed to work otherwise fine. After I found the problem and fixed it, then I was able to make the Windows 98SE backup / startup disk just fine. Weird stuff :D

Thanks Mr JSV👍I think it was an artifact of the injection moulding process. The floppy disk problem sounded weird.

Where do you get your boxes?

@BuyitFixit Месяц назад

I bought it from eBay, the seller was called wigan-electronics. He hasn't had any for sale for a while. but you can search job lot or customer returns on eBay :)

@BiGGolfTour Месяц назад

@@BuyitFixit thx! Apart from them do you have anyone else you can recommend.. id sooner get a referral.. ;)

@BuyitFixit Месяц назад

Sorry unfortunately not. I only bought the one box.

No way I would touch the mains connections of a plug pack without shorting the pins first in case there is no bleed resistor.

@BuyitFixit 8 месяцев назад

Wouldn't the bridge rectifier before the capacitor stop any current coming back to the pins even if there is no bleed resistor.

@shanehean1 8 месяцев назад

@BuyitFixit probably so. I did not see if there was a mains capacitor eg class c. Was not watching full screen and on a 24" monitor. Love your content.

What’s the link for this box ?

@BuyitFixit 10 месяцев назад

I've just tried the original link and it doesn't exist anymore, it was from a user on eBay called "wiganelectronics" but I don't think he has any boxes currently listed. Hope that helps.

Who would go through the trouble of returning batteries, especially if they are common sizes like AA?

@BuyitFixit 9 месяцев назад

I thought the same, someone mentioned that it's sometimes Amazon's fault, such as if the customer ordered AAA and received AA instead,.or they sent C size instead of D.

Can you recommend an Amazon Warehouse seller?

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunately not, the seller I bought this from hasn't had any more listed and I've not purchased any from any other sellers.

Reversing camera mimics what you see in the mirror. So yes, it's reversed.

@BuyitFixit 3 месяца назад

Yes, I didn't think of that at the time 🙂👍

... good thing my daughter does not follow you... so much headphones, she will surely press me to buy one of those boxes, even if i live in Romania... no chances! :)))))))) she's an avid collector of those, most of them end broken, and most of them i use for my dabbling... i was a "professional" some long years ago, but if you get "wire ilness", you will never be cured! :)

Luckily the guy I bought if from hasn't had any for a while so you're ok for now 😂😂😂😂Thanks for commenting 👍🙂

@@BuyitFixit just finished all the movie... that retro camera can be a nice base for a diy electronic microscope... :) image quality is decent, some lens and black tubes, to adapt their focal distance, and you can get something nice enough... the only nag are these lines... :)))) i'd use that dvd player for some diy stuff... frequency counter, things like that... i fixed those things for a short while, if you get broken plastics, better try to get another dvd mechanism... sometime, is need to use the old electronic board, because some digital linking, things like that... today is not worth... just use usb stick, and that's all... looks like you get a new subscriber! :D
