I Bought A Refurbished Xbox One X From eBay...And This Is What They Sent Me 

he so confused and surprised that something cheap, used, from eBay is actually .. perfect haha who’s that seller he’s the plug!

"I Bought A Refurbished Xbox One X From eBay...And This Is What They Sent Me" let me guess, an xbox one x?

A series unboxing refurbished from wish would be cool too 🤔

That feeling when you need an Xbox One X for all your locations.

This sounds like a great budget option. I honestly was interested in getting one just for the backwards compatibility with the OG Xbox games from Sega(including Virtua Fighter 2)! These are the NICE surprises from Ebay we all like to see.

I remember when i was like 13 years old, I really wanted an Xbox to play Halo and I found a Xbox one listing with The Master Chief Collection for 30 bucks on eBay. I couldn't believe it when it actually showed up 3 weeks later with a working xbox

You do know most "refurbished" items are just unable to be sold because the box was damaged. So they get re-boxed and classed as that.

I bought one in the exact same way last fall, I think it was 260 at the time. I was also blown away with how fantastic the quality was.

The eBay seller saw how many he was selling and upped the price. What an ass lol

I got a New White Xbox One X for $200 from a Gamestop location that was closing a couple months ago.

4:02 I currently have a brand new black controller and I'm looking at it right now and it doesn't look as good in real life as it does in that shot.

I got one of the 199 ones off eBay as well, after about 500 sold they jumped up to 260$, so glad I bought when I did. Like you mentioned, mine looks brand new, including controller. Runs like new as well. Best purchase I’ve made in a while

I had a similar experience when I bought my Xbox One about four years ago. It was also a Microsoft refurbished console from eBay. I didn't find anything wrong with it either. It appeared to be brand new. It has held up exceptionally well, and I paid half the price of a brand new one. The console and the controller it came with are both working perfectly to this day. I definitely give a thumbs-up to Microsoft refurbished stuff.

I wonder why you were surprised to find this was a system coming straight from Microsoft when it's a factory refurbished system (as opposed to a seller refurbished one). I've had two factory refurbished systems (straight from Nintendo) and they look, feel and work just like new systems. The only thing that changed was the packaging.

It’s amazing the price difference from US Dollars to Canadian Dollars, it’s still more expensive to get an Xbox One X off eBay on Canadian website, rather buy it off Microsoft Store,

I love my xbox one x. It feels weird replacing it already lol.

Love my one X . The console is still gonna be useful well into the series X generation.

ah man i didn't listen to halo 3 song in so long, y'all remember when it was in guitar hero 3... good stuff

At least it wasn't filled with insects

I purchased one last Thursday from Walmart same price as soon as I got sent home from work. It came Friday with no issues game pass is saving my life right now.

new video during quarantine exactly what I needed

I also bought one about 2 weeks ago that was for 199.99 and the box and packaging slip was the same. I'm guessing it was the same seller. It is one of the best deals I've seen in a long time. I also couldn't find flaws.

Awesome content! I would also LOVE a "State of the Collection" for your Game Cube collection!

its highly likely that the seller bought defective but in warranty Xbox's then claimed the RMA and just waited a few weeks for the replacement unit then sell them online I know a few that does that for the PS4 and PC parts.

damn bro, you're hugging that box. hope you took some decontamination precautions.

When nearly everything you have is refurbished

I picked up a brand new one x about two months ago at walmart for 249. It was the gears 5 bundle

In the UK we have distance selling regulations whereby anything you purchase online can be returned within 14 days of receipt. You’ll often find that ‘refurbished’ items sold online are simply customer returns that haven’t been used that they can no longer sell as new.

Just bought a newegg refurbished and it has good reviews! Lets hope it arrives great as this one

Bought a factory “re-certified” One X from Walmart’s website last week for $220 and it is near mint. I first thought they accidentally sent me a brand new one but there were a couple of small scuffs on the front of the unit. So far not a single issue. Super satisfied.

Dude that footage with heatsink timed with the face melt guitar solo is priceless! Good to see you having fun this quarantine man. Going back laid-back style with the tech videos is a good thing imho. Interesting that returned systems were resold as refurb, so I guess the same goes with demo units.

So weird that when I hear the Halo music, all I can think about now is a bunch of dudes t-posing in a bathroom

I manage the xbox line for the distributor that has the exclusive xbox refurb contract. We ran that $199 promo with ebay a couple of weeks ago. So cool you did a video about this. I'm going to show this video to some of our retail customers.

Now, take it apart one last time and slap a 1TB SSD in there. I’d love to see how you think it performs with a faster hard drive in it. The Xbox One X comes with a 1TB HDD standard.

Different experience for me. I bought a refurbished Xbox One X for $400 back in 2018 and it didn't last very long. Games started crashing and it got to that point where the trouble shooting screen would pop up. I was lucky enough to get it returned and buy a new one for $450 with a $50 gift card, so it worked out. Crazy to see them now go for $200

Definitely want to see you fixing Beatemups xbox. Both you guys have amazing channels and watching you do console breakdowns is relaxing af.

Those are most likely units that failed a QC at the factory. Repaired before they even leave the factory so they are essentially brand new still. The seller most likely bought a lot of them from Microsoft or another distributor.

I just got one renewed from Amazon for$250, and it looks like it is brand new. System, controller HDMI cable. But damn, wish I would have seen that One X for $200 on eBay though.

As a repairman in a PC store/shop all i can say is. If you havent done a teardown, blown all the dust off it and replaced the thermal paste, you havent done anything. Thermal paste must be cleaned and replaced ! That paste was dry as is gets and basicly an insulator between the apu and the heatsink, making everything fry itself to death eventually .

For a couple of weeks the Xbox One X was selling everywhere for $299. It makes sense to see referbs for $200.

When taking apart a xbox be careful with the metal on the inside I cut myself on it a few times and didn't know till I saw blood....its so thin and sharp like a blade

Got one too, works great. No issues. Highly recommend upgrading your One or One S if you have a 4K TV, unless you play from across the living room, it's not much different. I play fairly close to the TV and it's night and day. :)

Nice! Great deal!

It fell the case broke and they replaced it, case solved :D

Something that spawnwave forgot about the start up is , u can speed that up by doing some of the work on your phone. So u will cut down the time, before u can actually play on it.

U paid 200$ on ebay for a xbox one x,a year ago. Thats a really good deal even for ebay

Love these videos ! Been following your channel for almost a year and and the early morning news wave, tech waves and spawn Casts are awesome

More than a year ago I got a brand new Xbox One X 1TB bundle featuring Fallout 76 for $299 plus tax at Target. It seems like certain game bundles that don’t sell well will eventually get slashed by $100 off the MSRP.

I need to show this video to my mom, she believes everything on EBay is broken

I just got a new OneX on eBay for $300 with a game. There also on amazon between $340 and $400. Refurbished can be a good deal but If you look around enough you can find new ones with bundles for a great price.

I've seen some nice Xbox One X's going from mid $200 to low $300 on Amazon. But they're Amazon renews. Thought about getting one, i've not had an Xbox One this generation.

Got mine from Walmart with Jedi fallen order for a solid 300$ brand new. I feel like that was a better option than possibly getting a used broken one.

Refurbished from the one I bought meant the codes for the free games were already used. So far been a year and the system still works.

"Heres a montage of me taking it apart to halo music" is exactly why I'm subscribed

I bought a factory refurbished xbox one x from Walmarts website during Xmas for $250. It’s brand new looking, my guess is like you either the Blu-ray drive or hd drive died, and since MS has the tools they can just drop a new on in it and bypass how they are tied to the motherboard, and re tie the new ones to it.

Got mine new from gamestop for $99, took advantage of some deals going on at the time.

You buying systems and games online is my favorite videos you make.

Not sure how it works in the USA or with Microsoft, but I know in the UK with Sony, if you send your PS back (at least this is how it worked with the original PS and the PS3) to Sony for a swap out, you only send the unit back, no cables or controllers etc. So it would make sense that if MS does the same, any refurbed units they sell later would either have no peripherals or would actually come with new ones if they are included.

The new Xbox Series X isn’t releasing the end of this year, and the prices of old console don’t decrease either.

U don’t have to get the series x when it comes out Spawn. U can further extend the value of this purchase by waiting another year or two because Microsoft confirmed the console will have no exclusives for at least another two years. Every Microsoft title releasing within the next two years will come to the Xbox One X.

Yeah people were buying off Microsoft's site when the price dropped to $200. I still think was done in error. Anyway, I ended up getting a refurbished for $250 because I wasn't getting a proper HDMI signal with my old one.

Hey Spawn I think you got the motherboard from the Scorpio Edition version 10:38 with a standard One X console and controller shell.

Nice. I got a new One X with an extra white controller, which I sold, from Gamestop in December for $250. That made me pretty happy

Yo Spawn you should make a Video in upgrading the Hard Drive to SSHD 2tb or SSD

bought one off amazon for 250. would instantly overheat... had issues with returns, but 2 months later got a new xbox one x.

Great TechWave Jon(SW). If you can get a decent Refurbished Xbox1 X for a good price, it could be worth it, if you have itchy feet but bare in mind the Series X is potentially dropping later this Year, if you wanna save your money.

I refurbished myself one of my systems, a one S Minecraft edition with a bad ksb and one ram module fried, swapping those components with my reballing machine and eurekaa my one S it's alive again!

I got one for $200 new (Fallout 76 bundle was all they had left) in January when one of my local Gamestop stores closed. With more closings coming up this is a cheap way to get one (or do what that guy did and trade them to another Gamestop for profit as Spawn Wave mentioned in a prior video in January).

What I hate about the one x is how long it takes to install a game. I buy a game then have to install it. I keep my console off line just in case the patch updates take things away from the original build that I would prefer, like when Microsoft nurfed mafia 3 when the definitive edition came out. Then when I decide to go back online to install patches I need for other games like hdr patches, I have to wait ages for a mandatory console update then another update for the game patch. Some will say why not keep the Xbox updating by itself. Well the answer is the simple not all updates improve the console. The last update I had fucked up my hdr so I couldn’t continue a game in hdr from sleep mode meaning having to exit and reload the game all over again. It took ages before another update came along that fixed that problem which is why I usually keep my one x off line until I need to get an update for a particular game. I’m dreading updating my one x again. I only recently got it running how it’s supposed to. I’m shit scared that the next update is going to fuck it up again. I never have this problem with my PS4 pro and my pro doesn’t do mandatory updates as regular, either. Which in my view is a good thing.

Dude! That’s a great deal! Its great shape too. Keep us posted if u have any problems with it. Good luck with it.

I buy pretty much everything on eBay, I barelly use Amazon as the 3 things I bought at Amazon, all were crap. One of them was an Amazon eBook reader and it was faulty on day one and Amazon was pissing around with replacement and after I got the replacement and they got the faulty back, they contacted me, saying I have opened it up and double-charged me. I canceled, took pictures, send the other one back and it took 6 months and a ton of letters and emails till I got my money back. For me, it's eBay only, never had issues and PayPal protects both, seller and buyer.

The face of concentration @8:29 lol... but it looks brand new !!! Good buy for $211.99

I just sold a barely used Xbox One on Ebay for $165. I took it apart before I shipped it to video tape the hard drive serial number and put a mark on it. A lot of people buy consoles on eBay, pull out the good hard drive and replace it with a crappy one, then demand a refund/send you back a system with a bad hard drive. You gotta protect yourself folks!!!

I paid 205 for my xbox one x used on ebay over 6 months ago, and you can get a new one for 300 pretty regularly now, so 200 really isn't that insane.

So a 1 TB Xbox One X, seeimingly brand-new, for 200 dollars shipped and people in the comments are being ignorant thinking you can get this same deal brand new for 250? Also, it's good to know what you're getting when buying something that's labeled refurbished. Keep the videos coming, you do a great job!

You should check if it can play 360 games. My One X stopped reading 360 games randomly one day. Took it to the Microsoft store and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it even after they opened it and ended up giving me a new

I'm thinking about it, just for the fact that A) I have a bunch of games for 360 on my account, B) the 4K blu ray drive is great, that way I can move my dedicated player over into another room

The Microsoft store are selling brand new xbox one x core and bundles for $300.00 and free shipping, but they are all sold out now. Used/refurbished is very risky. Of course if you want a console that they don't make anymore then you have no other choice but buy it used.

That T-Shirt you've got on is the alert phase from Metal Gear Solid

One time I tried to buy and Xbox One X for $1000, After I paid I got a t shirt in the mail saying ‘You got stickbugged’

8:19 what was that bro 🤣 the way you said there’s nothing wrong with it priceless!

Absolutely nothing wrong with buying refurbished. I bought a bedroom air conditioner "refurbished" for I think like $200 cheaper than its original price, it looks amazing the btu's are great. I took it home and still working today 6 or 7 years later. Refurbished means it was sent back to the original manufacturer for "whatever reason" and they do more than just try get it going again. They totally clean it up to manufacturers conditions and run a thorough diagnostic and dare I say over-fix whatever the issue was, and then put back up for sale as refurbished. I also had a issue with my XB360 back in the day (2008'sh area), it was still under warranty. Microsoft paid all shipping including return shipping. I had my XB360 back in less than a week. I got a refurbished one and that was around 2008 and it still works today!!! I personally think not just Microsoft, but most all reputable manufacturers when they get something back to fix under warranty, they fix to better than original manufacturers conditions. So to this day by experience I would almost prefer refurbished product because it was out in the wild and returned and the manufacturer for company-pride fixed it so welll to never get returned again. Today we have the Gears 4 XBOX ONE S edition and the GEARS 5 XBOXONE X edition brand new and zero issues, both running fine and well passed the manufacturer's warranty... no, not feeling worried at all, and both are less than whisper quiet. Microsoft proven does learn, and Microsoft PROVEN HONORS WARRANTIES ! sony, lol sony has faced massive class action lawsuits against them for not honoring warranties.. sony's main issues warranty issues have been over-heating, sony systems frying out and sony just doesn't want to deal with those things... hence the LOUD FANS on ps4fakestations today lol Hey, thanks for posting Spawn

I bought 2 refurbished 3DSs directly from Nintendo and they looked and worked like new... and still have no problems with them.. they came in similar packaging for the 3ds

I purchased a factory refurbished Xbox and the only thing changed and was fixed was the HDMI port, is that noticeable at all when searching through the system like you? I know the one x has had plenty of HDMI fail issues and everything else seemed perfect. Got it for a steal a couple years ago on offer up and it still works perfect. Awesome second room system.

get's a Perfect condition Xbox One X for half the price him: "not bad" lmfaooooooooo

There were some Xbox one Xs a few months ago that were sold about 250 euros as brand new. But as you said, I don't think it's worth it as the new consoles should be released in maybe less than a year.

Sorry I'm late to say it but congrats on 400,000 subs. i love your channel keep up the great work.

You just got lucky...here in stl mo I tryed an refurbished x box 1 twice and both were junk. Thank God they reimburse me each time. Overall I'm saying if you can save up 200 just save a lil more for a spank brand new 1 or just be patient and wait for the x box x to come out.

The halo music was a good touch 🤣 definitely made me giggle. And I also LOVE the halo soundtrack.

@spawnwave I bought an xbox one s online for $80, the guy said it needed a new power supply. When I brought it to get repaired i found out the took everything off the motherboard

That's one amazing deal for a 4K capable console! I got mine for a great deal a while back!

I bought a one x as soon as I saw that the price was dropped to 300 including star wars Jedi fallen order, a month of game pass and a month of Xbox live which I converted to like 2 weeks of game pass. Only reason I went through with it despite the fact that I’m getting the series x, not too long after it’s release is because it’s always looked so nice to me and I couldn’t not but it tbh.

I got a refurbished RX 480 from sapphire from a 3rd party seller on ebay, it was a really good deal. It looked brand new and had official seals.

I wonder if any of the Xbox that get returned because they don't turn on are like 1 cable or the hard drive aren't connected all the way. Would definitely explain why they need to sell refurb because it's not 100% new

Bought one and everything works, the controller drifts a bit but I bought a new one from Best Buy

Sad that there sold out. Look like Newegg has then for 229 which is still pretty good. I haven’t moved to the X yet and don’t plan to be an early adopter of the series X so I figure 200 isn’t bad for a few years of 4K console games

Walmart also has them refurbished for $229 with free two day shipping. Mine also came in amazing condition.

Accidentally got a refurbished one from amazon. Crossing my fingers the quality is similar to this.

Cuts to skate 3 footage- okay that's either a really good sign or a really bad sign.

I found one around the same price but your Xbox One X looks almost looks brand new compared to mine.
