DKOLDIES RESPONDS REGARDING MY CONSOLE NOT BEING REFURBISHED... 

Yes

🤣

100% lol luv the vids

oh, it is This is proof that DK oldies does not clean their consoles all of those videos where they show that they refurbish their consoles are lies they only clean them for the videos because people are saying they don't refurbish their console and they say it's just a coincidence and a one-off es because they don't there's proof that they don't there is proof that they don't DK Oldies is a scam and they use false advertising

@jacob r well how much that 2nd hand consoles on ebay huh

and then after you point out that you shouldn't have to be cleaning a premium hotel room & you want your money back they just give you another filthy room as "compensation".

@Sean McKelvey and you clean that, and at this point are so pissed you ask for the manager and tell em, you're living in the most expensive room they have as the cleaner from that point, and you expect to have all meals paid for and minimum wage

“cleaning the room yourself” lol no you wouldn’t you would complain to the help desk acting like a Karen if need be, and likewise DKOldies encourages people to message them if they have a problem that they need resolved. Yet I haven’t seen anyone talking about that besides DKOldies themselves, it doesn’t make me a shill 💀 I just wonder why that is.

@@damian9303 Because the problem is that the way they "resolve" the issue is by sending you a new, dirty console. From a purely financial standpoint, if you are going to sell something as "refurbished" but you don't refurb the consoles, then you are going to lose money. They lose money on shipping, returns and reshipping, so why not just refurb the damn console in the first place and no-longer lose money on return labels and reshipping. They easily lose $20-40 per unhappy customer depending on size and weight, even more if you take into account insuring the console. Nobody is asking for a deep clean, but at least open the console, remove the majority of dust and replace thermal paste and/or pads. Give the shell a wipe down with either alcohol wipes or anti bacterial wipes (depending on the type of plastic, alcohol can eat away at the plastic). For anyone with a decent amount of experience with opening electronics, this is maybe a 10-15 minute endeavor that results in a much better product and gives the company a great public image.

@@damian9303.... Or why book into an hotel that's is known to offer dirty facilities... unless you just want to cash in on drama?!?...

Refurbish definition doesn't say that it needs to be inside

@@alincraciun4690 Are you seriously defending this shit company? Even if the definition doesn't say "inside", then they should still "refurbish" it inside because this is fucking unacceptable.

@@alincraciun4690 That is literally the definition for refurbishing for electronics (repeat ELECTRONICS). Seriously your comment is as absurd as someone who restores a car while not touching the engine.

@@alincraciun4690that’s the literal definition 🤡 lmao

@@mattluvet he got no brain dawg

The ACCC would eat them alive. :)

Considering the prices we pay for retro stuff in Australia I'm sure they'd fit right in, honestly. That being said, they would certainly be hung and quartered for blatantly false marketing and their smug attitude.

@@Armaron06 I'd like to watch that 😟

@@seanmckelvey6618 Honestly I've gotten some great deals from cashies and vinnies in the past.

Yeah honestly, if they sold them for what they were at the high prices they’re selling them, I don’t think people would care. I wouldn’t. What’s insane is the fact that they promote them as restored and refurbished.

they need to get their asses in gear over at dkoldies so these vids DONT keep coming. this is sad

Right?! How many times are they gonna set themselves up for this to happen

@@CyberCross222 they've actually been doubling down on their bs lol

@@Megaman8707 I dont think they're going to own up to anything, they got hit with a big lawsuit that 2 former employees started, over 500+ people are signed onto the suit now. Hence why they can't and won't talk about any of it, legally they can't. But they're idiots for everything they're uploading. They even have people doing fake positive reviews now, its cringe 😬

“More dollars then sense.” It’s a hack line, but it still holds validity.

DKScammies couldn't be bothered to actually do their job.

In all fairness, he misread the tip. They told him to clean the cartridge. Not the console DKOldies sold him…

@@randyhamon604 imagine if it was the other way around where he got the game instead of the console it’s still astonishing at the fact they would say something like that when they lost it in their website as “refurbished”.

What's your EBay seller's name?

You still sell games or consoles ?

Me too. I take pride in every game and console I sell. I want customers to get their purchases in the same condition that I would expect to get something I spent my hard earned money on. Otherwise, I may as well just have garage sales.

I work hard to keep my 100% positive feedback. Honesty and transparency every step of the way. Restaurants have Yelp. Uber and Lyft drivers have feedback. Everyone has some kind of rating system. There is literally no real way to hold DK Oldies accountable for bad customer service.

@@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli You own a restaurant? My brother in law owns one too, he tells me I can get free food anytime, but I choose to pay for it because it's his business and I want to support him as a customer as well, even though he's married to my sister.

Then shut down gamestop 💀 they’re just a business to make money

@@steve_2024 id rather buy from GS than Dk

@@steve_2024 Most counties have anti-fraud laws for a reason. "Making money" is not an excuse to fraud someone. Caveat Emptor is not valid.

@@steve_2024 gamestop at least opens up and cleans the consoles. DKOldies does not.

What people don't understand is this like giving them free publicity, youtubers talk about dk oldies because they know it gives them views an likes but they still keeping them relevant stop buying from them stop talking about them stop watching their videos easy as that but everyone wants to live in misery 😒. First everyone hated gamestop now no one's even talking about them, this is like a trend.

That would be amazing. Just affix the note in a corner where it's out of the way. Make there be a chance the next owner will find out they have the N64 from this very video.

It wasn't refurbished by Jacob R... it was refurbished by Kreesky

They never have in stock what I want

@@DroidLocks6971 I'd consider that a sign not to buy from them if I was you

@@Digitaldelboy Doesn't deny the fact that DKoldies don't clean and recap their stuff and sell them as refurbished.

Whoever put that there must think that's a good suggestion rather than a warning.

i don't really get how anyone thinks this is a legitimate point. it's just wall decor, i doubt it has any real meaning. but it doesn't take away i really hate dkoldies' business practices, as enjoyable as their content is.

@@lunaluceat I'd say it's more irony than anything the original comment is pointing out. They're fucking around with selling nonrefurbished units, advertised as refurbished, and they're starting to find out

@Rein Well, at least they're honest unlike most mechanics 😅

@@MixTapeReinactually, yes. Most mechanics shops that have those satirical signs have some great workers

That would make it overheat and catch on fire.

@@mariokart8715fucking might as well lmao

That's my favourite comment

Your punchline made me laugh so hard hahaha

Dude is way too humble. It’s kinda annoying 😂

He paid under $100, what you smoking?

@@larkan511 On DKOldies? No way he paid 100 bucks are you high?

Brought an Sega Genesis from a comic book store (red flag). If the buyer just happened to be a comic book store, then get ready for a project), and when I plugged it in, there was no power. Soldered the power jack after testing the needed a new power cable theory ( it didn't work), and it turns on. Then, I got a game. There is no signal. So, I cleaned the cartridge slot and was able to start playing the Genesis. And you know what I paid for it? 75 bucks. Not including the tools I used to fix the thing

“VOTCT large silicone mat” on amazon. Around $25 only.

His job was terrible. But at least he isn't charging for it, right? haha. He could have skipped everything and just removed the oxidation from the cart pins.... 99.9% that was the issue.

They'll just have a filter on their comments to blacklist certain words automatically. So commenting scammer will just get taken off immediately

@@LiveseyCat What chu mean "BLACKlisted" ?! Why's it gotta be Black ?! 👨🏿‍💻

@@LiveseyCat oh I never knew that! I thought they had like an army of guys Deleting comments. Pretty unrealistic now I think about it xD

I've written stuff like you guys are scammers and liers you don't clean or "refurbish" your console. And they haven't deleted my comments

@@connorpike23 that's weird!

He probably upload the video after all the refund stuff was sorted out

@@toastymansabe here’s hoping! 😁👍

The new retro gaming website called This Is Game Room.

@@mariokart8715 thankfully I have 2 decent mom and pop retro game stores within 30 minutes of my home. I have a hard time buying something I can’t hold in my own hands and inspect myself. If I have to order anything, I stick to eBay.

Also, even if the seller is 100% in the right, eBay will often cover top rated plus sellers anyways. Had a guy return the wrong order and I got back a pack of stickers instead of my copy of Donkey Kong for Atari 2600. lol. eBay refunded him but I was able to keep the $8 I made on it. lol. I've also been able to have eBay remove a negative feedback for a customer who claimed USPS "lost" the item, when it was marked as delivered. Turns out a few days later it showed up at the guy's doorstep after I refunded him anyways. lol. So even if a buyer is a jerk and 100% wrong, eBay still takes care of them *and* the seller.

@@One_Stoned_Bastard yeah I like these channels. Keep saying the scam is them saying that it's refurbished and charging refurbished prices and overcharging even that. And it's the uninformed people that need to see these videos before they buy shit from websites like them.

*Councils*

@@joemonteirosportsshorts3343 lol.ok guy.

Even in their own video on the refurbishing process - they show the tech test it and if it works he never opens it just send it to the cleaning person who also never opens it just cleans the outside ( So that is what they call refurbishing - plug it in see if it works if it does clean the outside with a magic eraser ( and remove all the gloss finish in the process) then put it up for sale ! ) Pretty sad when they make a video showing that is their process !

I bought a N64 from Ebay with 3 OEM controllers, all the oem cables and 4 common games for around $120 and it worked perfectly fine.

@@Anime_Fan_0069 You got a really good deal then. Oem controllers by themselves currently go for 25-40 a piece depending on if the stick was replaced. Replacement oem cables are 12-15. Console itself is 60-80. If I was selling that lot as a reseller who actually put in time and effort to ensure it's completely refurbished and working, it would be somewhere in the 150s to 180s depending on the games and how much work it took to clean.

or you could just emulate ;)

I saw one with cables on Facebook marketplace for $40. And it was working!

@@magicalone22 emulating N64 isn’t always great. Not all titles run smoothly. On pc I’m sure it’ll run fine but putting it onto a Gamecube or Wii, or other console will probably run into some issues. n64 is the one console I usually buy copies of

Blowing into your cartridge isn't gonna do any damage to the cart lol. I have games since my childhood that i blew on 30 years ago and i still play them and still blow on them lol. out of over 1000 games ive only had one fail on me over 35 years of gaming lol, Dude is hella dramatic lol but i get it hes a young kid lol

They need to shut down and sell their inventory for half off to customers and this This Is Game Room website.

Yep, and I think probably a cotton swab or something like that to clean the pins of the cartridge or just get a cartridge cleaner if it's just dust I think and that may also work

Buy. A ps2 fat or slim and it's way better than the ps1. It's also more quality on ps2. Ps1 laser and the disc holder are the most problematic.

Honestly, to say something is "Refurbished", it's generally defined as returning to a "like new" state. Examining capacitors for bulging/leaks, replacing heat sink compound, lubricating moving parts (white lithium grease in gears if applicable), replacing belts (like an a tape player as rubber hardens), replacing the foam spacer of an 8-track cartridge. If only a cleaning occurs, then it's only "cleaned." It's not a refurbish. lol. Now granted, DK Oldies doesn't even clean them at all either. They'd be better off just saying "Pre-Owned" like GameStop.

I concur with this as well, they’re doing what they were being told in how to handle complaints like this. At the end of the day, DKoldies has to do their due diligence and clean these consoles inside.

I agree. I was thinking it was left in a backyard shed.
