    Back when I occasionally bought things I couldn't find elsewhere from them, I got:
    2 oil covered and very sticky PlayStation 2 DualShock controllers
    1 copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit where the entire PCB was completely and totally corroded away, every pin, every chip, every component destroyed, and completely covered inside with still wet mud.
    Several Game Boy games in various states of disrepair and not working, that I had to personally repair, most of which were dirty.
    Every cartridge game required some level of repair, usually soldering.
    Etc... etc..
    These were from their "good" condition stock.

    This isn't the first time that DKoldies has sent really clean and nice consoles. They sent good looking consoles to CZcamsr to Rich from ReviewTechUSA. He only knew that they did because someone that worked or is working from DKoldies told him what he ordered in an email and said they gave him clean consoles. They said if it wasn't him but a regular person they would of sent him a non refurbished console. That would have been untouched and just sent through the mail. So they send You Tubers refurbished consoles as a marketing ploy to get people to order from them.

    DKOldies appeared to be parting out complete in box games and selling the boxes and manuals separate in bulk on Ebay. I don't know why they would do this, since a complete in box game is worth more than it's parts in most circumstances. My guess is their customers are only interested in loose carts and/or won't pay whatever outrageous prices they charge for CIB games.

    Perhaps if they are out of D grade, or whatever you order, you get the next tier up.
    It's not like they are going to take a loss, just less profit and it looks better to receive something good than a refund.
    What bothers me is the "refurbishment". To me that means replacing anything consumable or wears to the point it impacts function. If I was doing the refurbishment the button membranes would be replaced, possibly switches and very likely any cartridge ports. The PCB would be cleaned thoroughly and an optional screen replacement offered if it was sub par condition. Giving it a wipe sometimes is not a refurbishment.

  • @enahsg
    @enahsg Před 3 měsíci +1

    There are 2 things I will say about DK Oldies:
    1) After everything hit the fan last year, they did update their refurbishing process. I don't know to what degree however
    2) They might have you listed as a potential reviewer, as they are known to send out good quality items to people who do reviews as a negative review will give them the most negative visibility.
    Based on these 2 things, I think that is why you got such good looking quality consoles.
    If you want to test them in the future, you should have them send it to a friend's address and pick it up from there.

    I just recently purchased a PS2 off of eBay for $125. It came with varying scratches but nothing that can be scuffed out. And the kicker is, it was never opened lol. I looked on DK oldies knowing full well what I was getting into and after seeing their prices I decided to go a different route. To think just 2 years ago I would have probably bought something from them but knowing what I know now I'm going to steer clear of them to the best that I can unless something is at a decent price.

      @@andrasszabo7386 Those are not backlight screens, those are frontlight screens, it's build different way. Backlight screens were propably still very expensive, also previous models had no light and were selling like hot buns. Later models, like GBA SP, had switchable light, but because it was a frontlight screen with LEDs, the result was only somewhat acceptable. Look for "Game Boy Advance GBA Backlight IPS vs Frontlight Side by Side Comparison.", you'll see how bad those screens were at the time this console was released (custom backlight for original screen VS modern IPS replacement).

    Honestly, the difference in price between good and acceptable isn’t crazy. It’s only about $50. That’s not a real high number. Plus, it’s much harder to source nice cosmetic condition systems these days.
