Iâve had a lot of bad consoles on my channel recently, but this one might be the worst đ if the seller sent what they were supposed to, I would've had a blades dashboard 360 đ

@SAVE VICARIOUS VISIONS As a serious buyer on Ebay it sucks to hear that about them. You're exactly the type of seller I shop with and appreciate.
Can u do an update somehow of u getting these people banned from eBay or something cause a lot of us watch this and are so furious sellers can be this bad. They should face consequences. Some poor kid might get scammed in the future. Great video man , be safe
@SAVE VICARIOUS VISIONS Dude, that's actually kinda heartbreaking. It sounds like you had an awesome collection. I like your Blink pfp tho, so there's that.
Still looks better than a DK Oldies refurb.
@@TeraunceFoaloke đ€Ł
Still better than dkoldies
Facts
I mean at least dkoldies uses some bubble wrap đ

Jacob R, the man who willingly gets scammed for funđ
I mean Iâm not gonna lie, it is pretty fun to see what I get when I buy sketchy stuff đ itâs a gamble every time
@@jrob0021 You ain't lyin', it is fun to watch!
He is rich so he can afford to be scammed
@@Albertwesker09 Jacob a secret millionaire đ
Honestly it keeps us entertained đđ
I NEVER buy from an Ebay listing that uses stock photos. You gotta show me what your shipping, man.
Lol yeah for sure. I would never buy a stock photo listing if itâs not for a video. It sure does make for an amusing video though
@@jrob0021 You gotta show more scam stuff though. These are hilarious lol.
The way they shipped this had me laughing hard đ
I think a video showing the process you go through to return this 360 and get your money back would be great to see. And might be helpful to other people that do get scammed like this.
I canât really make a video about it though, it would be like 10 seconds long lol. You just press the return button ebay
@@jrob0021 yeah when it comes to ebay return process its pretty easy the only thing ever truly painful is trying to deal with the seller since alot of times ebay has to step in to fix the sellers problem especially if they are scummy/shady
@@jrob0021a video messaging the seller would be hilarious đ€Ł
@@jrob0021 its been a long time since I've used ebay so I thought it would be more of the seller trying to say they don't know what youre talking about kinda back n forth to not give you back your money, especially when they are clearly scammers. Glad its super simple though!
Lol for returns sometimes they make you pay for return shipping and once they receive it you wait 3 days for funding reversal the catch is all shipping facilities charge 80 to 110 dollars just to ship it to timbucktoo so its to the point its not worth it with you just tossing it in the trash or scamming someone else
The seller couldve been really busy and had an occasional mistake slip by, he's only human after all đ
i laughed at this comment đ good one
I understood that reference
@@slushy8603 me too, its so bizarre
I have to imagine the seller just clicked âsell one like thisâ and didnât bother to proof read the title to make sure that it was right, which wouldnât surprise me seeing as they couldnât be bothered to add packaging
Phil
Those missing screws are just for better air flow đ
đ
Now thats some quality control!
They're speedholes that make the console run faster.
It makes it cheaper to send too; as the weight is less! Plus who needs all those pesky bubble wrap things or cardboard boxes and the like, they are saving on weight and postage without those! (LOL). Ditto the missing HDMI lead etc!
Love your vids bro! And you taking what could have been a scam for a loss to another at least you make good content with these systems! Good work helping us avoid these situations đ
I love the risks Jacob takes for these videos!
Cant believe that was originally $250, considering all the problems. I got my Series S brand new for that much, and they couldn't even provide you a box. Tragic. Anyway, keep up the good content man!
Love your channel!
It would of been insane if it was a sealed Jasper system. But you got scammed. These scammers are insane lol!
Thank you
something to note, non OEM HDD will prevent you from booting og xbox games since it's missing hidden partition that has og xbox emulation files. It could be your xbox games did not boot up due to that
I think I was just using non compatible Xbox games. Iâm like 99% sure the HDD was oem. If it wasnât, itâs the best fake Iâve seen
Thatâs definitely a non OEM HDD they stuck in the case. Had that happen on a console I bought and they did the same mismatched HDD
My mom had bought my nephew a Destiny themed PS4 last year from eBay. It looked new as the seller had it in his collection with the original box and everything. Turns out the system didn't read disc and would make noises like grinding noises. Ended up getting my mom's $400 for the console after arguing with the seller and getting eBay to help me. It took a few days as it had to be shipped back.
It's very common for these types of models to be modded. The reason the warranty sticker might've been popped was they flashed it. See if it will read a burnt disk, or dump the drive's firmware.
i recently went into a shop and managed to get 4 xbox 360s for ÂŁ5 each, each of them had their own problems but with a little bit of love i was able to get 3 of them working, 2 slims and one original 360.
the original 360 worked other than the disc drive being stuck and i was pretty easily able to unstick it and get it working,
the first slim needed a thorough cleaning and it let it turn on, the second slim had red light of death, and with components from it, i managed to repair the third 360 which was missing the power button that had seemingly been ripped off
im currently working on getting the 4th working, once a new face plate arrives ill be able to figure out the error code and will be able to attempt to fix it completley
@J B lmao what
i fix them as a hobby, i also have fixed up a few wiis and have a couple of ps3s to fix, i just do it for the fun of it
@J B someone has never heard of grammar in their life and has the most basic npc responses lmao
@J B im not ego boosting in the slightest, i just felt that it would be nice to mention it because it is something that i was partially inspired to do ever since i started watching this channel recently. i find it to be rather therapeutic to clean out the consoles, and im not selling any of them, im keeping them for myself and if i was to sell them, i wouldnt sell them for much at all because i didnt get them for much originally
@J B i really don't understand what the problem is though, i bought some broken consoles and fixed them and you're getting angry? how?, it doesnt affect you in the slightest bit so i really don't understand what you are so annoyed about
@J B i edited one comment and i can't believe using a feature of youtube is so bad!!
Jacob R always taking risksđ
I've only recently started using eBay but one thing I do is make sure the seller is reputable. I get that you do this for fun, but I hate having to send things back so I'm super careful about who I buy from lol.
Same. I generally never order stuff on ebay anyways. Just old consoles and stuff every once in a while.
A small part of me died when you opened the box đđ€Ł
A small part of me did when the console made the sliding noise BEFORE the box was opened,
I got a GameCube bundle on eBay recently and they just threw everything in the box without bubble wrap. I had to contact eBay support because the GameCube was damaged during shipping.
coming back to watch your old vids before dkoldies took over your channel, love(d) the content
That disc drive was for sure beat the hell up on the way there with the brick laying right under itđ
absolutely love the content
Thank you đ
Hope you share the follow up with the response from the seller!
2008-05-19, that would be a late Falcon Motherboard, which Iâd venture to say itâs close to as good as Jasper in terms of reliability. Great video! Keep up the great work!
based on the innards that is definitely a Falcon motherboard and that time frame was around the time TSMC addressed and fixed the underfill on the GPU's that caused premature failure. That should be a pretty reliable console but it will run a bit hotter than the Jaspers beacuse Falcon V2's used a 95nm GPU instead of a 65nm like the jaspers did.
I love Your videos and i have question. Could you buy another console from dkoldies but asked them to pack it up on video.
For some reason I always find it therapeutic watching you unbox and review these suspicious and/or broken consoles.
I do find this hilarious.
I can not believe the drive opened and closed after shipping like that! lol that is pretty amazing
Can't wait for the video on Friday
What's more funny is that there was an eBay ad before this vid started hahahah
đ
What i'm thinking is this console was likely "refurbished" even though it really wasn't, but they somehow the seller thought they could get away with calling it new somehow.
Honestly I think the seller just has 0 knowledge about video games
@@jrob0021 probably but they had to know it wasn't brand new
Perhaps it should have read 'Refurbished by Don't Know O...,' Oh wait!
Legend has it that Joey sold it to eBay first
You bought an absolute steal there..đCan't believe someone could do that
One thing Iâm curious about is did the previous owner do an XClamp delete or not.
such mercari energy with how that was packed
Good thing you said that you put in a return request cause I kept thinking âthe seller gets the satisfaction of thinking they scammed someone out of 200$â đ
I cried when Jacob said " what type of seller are you " đđ
I picked one up off of eBay for $160 was a Nib Jasper arcade. Stickers still on the box to seal it and all. Was on 7359 I believe so I ended up jtagging it. This happened about a year ago.
You did get ripped. I just bought (2 weeks ago) a limited edition 360 E blue/teal 500gb model for just over 150 (shipping and tax included) on ebay. It was new or like new in the box. I say possibly new because all the cords were in sealed bags and all the plastic and every piece of packing material was in the box. I think the seller undersold it in their description though. They did not say anything about harddrive size or everything was sealed. The pic showed the box very blurry but I made out 500 GB harddrive on it.
solid video as always jacob
Bro. No bubble wrap or anything else? That's bad.
I sure hope that seller got some negative feedback for that... I was appalled when there was absolutely no packing material. Who thinks that's a good idea?
@@ryans9557 Yeah, pretty common knowledge. What's your point though?
Is that an xbox from DK oldies in the background photo?
Audacity is clearly your favorite word. Haha.
Laughed so hard at the packaging
I won a Gears of War edition 360 from eBay and it was shipped in a yellow envlope. Suprisingly it was intact an worked.
Whats funny is some people think when this happens that your stuck with it when you can always return items even if the seller doesn't accept returns Cause if they arnt accurate in thier listing ebay will side with you
I got an xbox that came from lakemba and the face plate doors were wrecked, probably because the guy delivering it was racing down the hume highway at about 200km/h through an active school zone
I had just bought a subwoofer on eBay, and he sent it out in a flimsy box, and the packaging was paper. One layer of paper on the bottom.. I took it apart, and the voicebox was almost completely off the cone. You wonder how some of these sellers have good reviews..
I cannot believe they thought that they could get away with that
I collect CDs like I do retro gaming and bought a brand new CD from Amazon but it was not sealed. It's crazy how people will sell something used say it is new.
Are you able to get a refund when these happens? I mean you did say you put a request but how often it work to get a refund etc?
eBay has strong buyer protection. This seller listed it as new when it clearly wasn't. You can't lie on the description as a seller. He will definitely get the full refund.
Have you seen DKoldies new short on their YT channel of the fake / paid customers (tribewolfs) attempt at doing damage control for the company?
8:34 Xbox 360 is alive đłđł
This was hilarious :D The guy literally tossed an old Xbox 360 in a box and shipped it :D
Which he personally hadn't used - so it is unused (BY HIM). (LOL).
@@plan7a word đ đ i cant say i wasnt impressed that it worked though haha
At least DK oldies put some packing wrap around so hey there's hope for them yet đ€Ł
every video review of a console, you need to do a dkoldies approved logo đ if itâs not clean or not working, snap that dkoldies sticker on it
Hi Jacob r I love watching your videos
Dkoldies: finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary !
Thats the sound of the fan in it clinging to life with all it's might. My original 360 after it was repaired for it's disk drive lens shattering while I played crackdown, started making that noise a few months before it red ringed on me. Funny enough the fans failed shortly after the red ring and they Microsoft gave me a new Xbox instead of repairing it đ
2:55 Giga Bart returns
thats how my xbox one came only had brown paper which aint help none when shipped but luckily it works just fine
Additional comment - all the ports are covered on the front! LOL.
Perhaps they meant unused (BY THAT PERSON?). LOL. (Plus there's something else you could have tried - it might have shown something of use - on the same menu as the Open Drive, etc, there is Recent; that MIGHT have shown something of use - but I'm just guessing of course!).
Never used but there is a different hard drive đđ I was dying
Glad I found a MW2 Xbox 360 for $20 at my local thrift store. Cables and everything except the box.
Thatâs a nice score
fantastic, that's how it should be!
fair enough, if DKO can label it as refurbished you get original controller with it so its kinda brand new :)
that guy took a page out of DK Oldies playbook.
âThe audacityâ word of the day
I have a grey hdd on a black console. We can trade the hdd cases if you want (location: europe)
Thanks!
what was up with the bart simpson lol?
I ordered an N64 off eBay from a private seller 2 weeks ago and he literally did the same thing. Put the system, wires and controller in the box with absolutely no support. Shipped it from Cali to NY. When I opened it up it was in pieces. He didnât take returns but because of how he shipped it he had to take it back. Now I just stick to the larger sellers on eBay espy the goodwill pages.
Bruuuuuh
"this can't happen on eBay only on DKoldies" this is why i hate it when people blindly recommend eBay, if you don't know what to buy and what to avoid you can get scammed on eBay just as badly. And they have tightened their refunda nd return policies. Not too long ago you could report a lost item and ask for a refund eBay would simply refund you the money, if it does show up, that's fine, you can keep it.
@@raptros I agree you have to be careful where ever you buy something, especially electronics and consoles. But Iâve only had one problem on eBay and there was no issue with the refund. I sent it back that day and got my refund as soon as it was delivered. But Iâve also had many many great experiences on eBay Iâve built an entire gaming library off eBay probably a 1/4 of the price I would have paid on sites like dk oldies. I stick to the goodwill sites and the larger sellers. Iâve bought 6 systems from the goodwill pages and each one has come in near perfect condition and Iâve underpaid in my opinion but I also have some knowledge on eBay Iâve been buying on there for years and Iâve only had the one item come broken.
That's the kind of packaging you expect when it's time to take the garbage out...
The warranty sticker makes it sicker
I bought a ps3 slim with the original box from Amazon it should be delivered by tomorrow afternoon so yeah wish me luck and hopefully just hopefully I didnât get scammed or anything
can u look at older consoles like nes snes or gamecube
Gotta give it up to the seller! They're watching their carbon footprint. No bubble wrap or extra paper inside! And it worked haha. That is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.
My thoughts exactly! Plus without those screws and an HDMI cable, cheaper plastic (from a third party) it weighs less too! Therefore reducing the carbon footprint further! (LOL).
At least it looks better than DKOldies, and the price matches too.
You don't get Joey's bubble wrapping expertise or the HDMI cables though.
Like on Full Metal Jacket movie never fired only dropped once
Hey you spent $200 less than DK Oldies. They opened up the console, cleaned it, and you got an OEM controller and power supply!
I'm surprised it came in not in pieces with no protection from padding,
Why are you not looking at the telly when your playing it
This sucks to say, but I am really glad you choose to buy these instead of some random innocent person who doesn't know what they are looking for. Ty for putting Dkoldies on blast, love the content man keep it up!
If it was brand new it would be in the initial setup phase with a blank HDD, with a 2008 console it should be on blades, original box sealed, original controller, original getting started manuals and etc. And a warranty sticker untampered. That guy doesn't even know how to properly wipe the console. It requires a format. Then you need to go to system information and run a special controller button combination to get a menu. which erases all console settings like family settings, Time zone, wifi, and etc.
3:10 went further at 'refurbishing' than a certain seller of retro video games
Looks like DKOldies has a new eBay account đ
DKoldies would have probably send you a RROD Xbox 360 dirty and broken pieces (called refurbished)đ
Oh and cleaned. Don't forget cleaned.
"That console looks refurbished to me" - *Joey from DKOldies*
Surprisingly, it is not in pieces, for not being properly packaged.
I just had someone try to sell me a nintendo 64 new for 1,000 dollarsâŠ.lol it had the box but wasnât sealed and all the controllers and stuff was untied and missing plastic. And had a memory card with it that was opened and didnât come with the unit. I told them thatâs not new why have all the cords been opened and the memory card didnât come with it and was opened.
Hey at least they opened up the console unlike DKOldies and you got an OEM controller.
Seller probably just replaced the harddrive, opened it up and put some finger prints on it. He never used it tho
At least it doesn't smell like cat piss đ
At least they sent an OEM control ! DKOldies cant even do that
Did DKoldies send you this 360? Since Your order wasnt picked to be filmed, we're forgetting the bubble Wrap.
"Never Used" the console has been over used lol, at least it works, good video.
He probably package đŠ it his self lol
Good video
