- Man, who knew dkoldies sold untested stuff? I didn't, until I found some on eBay a few months ago. I've been waiting for them to sell some untested consoles (truly untested, not "for parts" consoles), and they finally put this lot of 18 untested consoles up for auction, so I decided to bid. And I got some interesting stuff, to say the least!

Remember when they called content creators unethical, after selling non-refurbished consoles as refurbished?
Desperate for content? You just need DKOLDIES in your title to get views?
I love dkoldeies
The clown emoji was kinda wack
@@kangkoopawe all love dk oldies
@@OneStrangeJourneyI sure am desperate for views after hitting over 4 million in the last month!
For a company who says they hate fake cartridges, they sure sell alot of third party controllers.
I don't care about them selling any of that but they need to be upfront about what people are getting.
Lol exactly!!! They claim they work “just as well” but it’s not true. Third party controllers for the most part are not great. There are only a few higher end third party companies that are good. But of course dkoldies just goes for the cheapest controllers.
They sell counterfeit cartridges as well, 3 of the 10 my friend ordered were fakes.
@@giellesfairon1745 This is the same company where the owner destroyed a fairly rare gameboy sp because he thought it was fake

No not dkoldies. I would’ve never thought in a million years they would do this, what a shock!
😂
@jrob0021 this is probably how they claim they don't sell knockoffs on eBay and not their website even though I've seen retrons and cheaper similar consoles.
@clacentrioeBay sold listings are public info. Go look it up.
@jrob0021 yeah and I'm sure stuff on their ebay store has a different process from their own website I'm sure Jacob and others would risk their livelihoods to fake this.
Next thing you know they'll tell me the amico is a scam. What a buncha propaganda.
Can’t make this stuff up. For being so vocal about how fake consoles and emulators are illegal, idk how dkoldies let these consoles get through. Thoughts?
It's wild they can sell nintendo fake consoles and not get nintendo ninjas.
To be clear, I don’t have a problem with fake games and consoles, IF the seller is being honest about it. They’re a cheap way to play games if you can’t afford the real thing. I do find a lot of the fake consoles to be hilariously bad though 😂
Dkoldeie is good
The funny thing is that emulators aren’t even illegal, lying to customers isn’t a good look lol
They are buying these probably because they show up on the same listing's as their items. So they buy them clear the listing so people only see their overpriced items. Then sell them on to cover the costs.
DKOldies never fails to disappoint.
I've seen a under priced product once and it was a CIB Legend of zelda majoras mask new nintendo 3ds for 400 when it was worth 500 at the time.

They never disappoint to disappoint.
UHM NO IT WAS FOR 239$ AND THE LEGEND OF ZELDA IS WAS FOR 45$@@captainrobots1
DKOldies never fails to disappoint.
Remember when they destroyed that rare official Chinese Gameboy for being a "fake" yet will sell you the $5 AliExpress bootleg consoles
ahh
GOD! I FOGPT ABOUT THAT! AUUUGHHHHH!
If you dug deeper, the consoles were fake. They just put the iQue batteries inside the fakes to show it to the camera to gain attention as a marketing strategy.
They straight up were begging for negative attention with that post. If that's not scummy, idk what is.
THEY WHAT?
@@danielletaylor9201 Yeah Joey the CEO filmed himself smashing an iQue GBA SP saying it's a bootleg
You just know Joey is about to make response in this and claim it’s all lies 😂😂
Keep up the work Jacob!
Joey is a puppet
@@iwearLingeriefr he is single handedly keeping them in business
@@jerrynaylor4092Yup without him the company would crumble in an instant.
They didn't advertise them as real official consoles on the eBay page. Dude is acting like he got ripped off when he bought exactly what was advertised.
@@KingC89did you just not watch the video at all? I talked in the video how I got a good deal - when did I say I got ripped off? You’re just making stuff up. If you actually watched the video, you’d know the issue here is that dkoldies tells everyone that fake games and consoles are illegal, yet here they are selling fake consoles. It’s really not that hard to comprehend.
Dk doesn't want normies to know about cheap Chinese knock offs. Mainly because for 90% of people it would be all they need. DK wants normies to spend hundreds of dollars on their overpriced items. Thinking that they have no other choice.
Or people can just emulate. Some people like authentic original games and systems but I wouldn’t care.
No, noone needs chinese knock offs.
They have ton of issues and run like crap.
And honestly? What for?
To emulate 8-bit games?
My phone can do that.
@@scottstevens4881emulating was the best decision I have ever made
@@reienna5616some are built well but are the most expensive ones, people really just like playing on a big tv with a controller instead of a phone with touch buttons
@@scottstevens4881 yeah they want $339.99 for a game cube lmao you can build a pc for that price and also play ds, gameboy, switch, ps1-3, and plenty of others
You and Rich have done a great job in calling out these scammer companies like DKOldies and their questionable business practices
I hope they go out of business soon.
@@sawyerwatcher I hope they improve their business practices; if not for all I care they can go out of business. I certainly won't be doing business with them regardless 🤷♂️
Edit: spelling
@@sawyerwatcher im starting to think DKOldies is paying CZcamsrs like this one to "review" their products. it would make sense to call them out once or twice by buying one or two things from them, but so many CZcamsrs keep buying different consoles from them, which is only getting them public attention, leading to more people buying stuff from them. you know what I mean?
@@bromanbrothe2nd844 I totally agree. Many of the review videos also don’t show the customer looking at the product very much and “saying” it’s in such good shape before even looking at it.

Both of those Genesis minis are actually made by the same company and were officially endorsed by Sega believe it or not. The HD model came out during the height of the mini console craze and was well intended to be the official Genesis mini in the vein of the NES and SNES mini. This caused a lot of backlash that lead to Sega making their own in house mini console that we eventually got.
Atgames are still fake consoles in my mind.
@@polocatfan No doubt. Which makes it even crazier that Sega endorsed them. Lol
They make pretty cool arcades so they are cool in my book @@polocatfan
@@polocatfanThey essentially use bootleg hardware, but they are officially endorsed products.
Basically Chinese famiclones with the legal stuff done.
They only have 40 actual Sega Games on them. The other 40 are trash.
They advertised so heavily about scam consoles because they probably got scammed with those and wanted to get some of their money back so they put them on ebay. Just a theory.
They didn't get scammed with them . The fake minis aren't going to fool anybody , especially a store like this that deals in them regularly . People probably sent them in by mail wanting some money for them and in that case , DKOldies will just tell them they are getting $0 for it and they don't send it back , then they just sell it on Ebay even though they didn't pay anything for it .
Those retro duo consoles, and the Yobo variety ones, are actually just fire hazards. No joke two of the five of them I've had come into my store have just gone up in smoke as soon as I turned them on to test them
That’s crazy. Pretty much exactly what happened to this one
what your name is Jacob Robbins? KEKW@@jrob0021
Oh yea I heard even back when they were new they *REEKED*
DKOldies really do not do themselves any favors lmao you'd think they'd listen after so much controversy but nah
Controversy would’ve be over long ago if they stopped posting about it. Yet every week I see posts from them about their refurbishing process, how they hate fake consoles, etc 😂
@jrob0021 yep they keep shooting themselves in the the foot.
Fake consoles is wild💀
Bruh 💀
@@Elatenl They're fake bri
@@Elatenlhuh? The 4 “nes” consoles are straight up fake consoles. Not licensed by anyone. The epitome of a fake console.
@@Elatenl so your logic is that because there are thousands of fakes out there they are somehow not fake suddenly?
@@Elatenlthey are fake. There are the legit Nintendo produced NES systems (which this lot had one of), then there are the knockoff Entertainment Systems. All the Sega ones were legit because Sega gave ATGames the rights to sell those. It's the 4 Entertainment Systems that were clear knockoffs.
I love your videos Jacob! Thank you for making these videos!
They don’t test their carts either. I bought street fighter 2 for snes and they sent me a copy with a super Mario world board inside. I have a video of it from before I had them swap it. This was the previous Black Friday 2022
they framed damage out of the key items in a box lot for me. These items were the only 2 items touching and not spread out in the whole picture of 15+ boxes, it was specifically to hide damage, but they denied that intention and accepted the return, but I do no doubt for a second they purposefully obscured the damage on one of the 2 draw items within a lot of trash boxes. It's just the kind of thing they do.
They shady as hell. The spokesperson and face of their social media isn’t even the owner. He is used to establish a joyous game loving business.
I remember buying 2 DMG gameboys and 2 gameboy colors (can’t remember if they were “untested or not) and all of them had the worst board level damage I’ve ever seen on any video game console. One gameboy color had like 3 layers of pcb pulled off where they tried to remove a capacitor.
At this point, I'm really surprised that they are still in business
they are still in business because youtubers need to make content out of how bad they are...DKoldies are laughing at youtubers for funding them.
(remembering that they claimed they don’t like fake products)
*OH BOYS WE GOT EM NOW*
You are destroying this company in the most respectful way possible. This saga is hilarious lol
Yeah I mean they’re doing it to themselves 😂 all I’ve had to do is buy products from them and the rest speaks for itself. I try to let the products do the talking
@@jrob0021 that's why you've got a dedicated viewer here, you're not malicious or derogatory and that's very respectable, keep it up man!
@@jrob0021true. I guess they thought nobody would remember them talking negatively about knockoffs and selling on eBay to try to distance those sales from the actual DK Oldies website. 😅😅
😅
This channel is at its peak when it's exposing DKOldies
With the last console you tried, I had the same device once. It would work for a while but after some time it would have a burning smell to it like you described, so it may be a system defect rather than a supplier error.
I remember seeing those plug and play SEGA Genesis being sold for $25-$30 at Family Dollar. The fact that DKOldies are selling them at $75 is extortionate
Where are they selling them for $75?
that 71 usd is for entire lot tho, not 1 sega console
@@jrob0021 Fun fact, at launch these garbage AT Consoles were $80 MSRP lol
Thank goodness for the backlash after gamers found out that Atgames wanted to produce the first Sega Mini. It was so bad Sega backtracked and we got a great Mini like Nintendo made.
@@xadek821wow that’s awful lol
“Is DKOldies a Scam? No” - Joeh.
Honestly at this point I'm glad I never bought from them. I came across them one day and I was very interested. But forgot about them and then I see so many creators outing them in a bad light. I still can't tell if they're good, Joey seems to do a lot of videos saying how good they are or w/e but I'm still really skeptical
I would at all times prefer to buy a retro console from a private auction than from the scam artists of DK oldies.
I think the ATGames Genesis still being powered even with the power supply unplugged is probably due to the HDMI port giving power to the console.
Weird
I'm confused. They are getting rid of them on eBay to avoid selling them on their website. If they are getting rid of them in bulk, what's the problem?
If DKoldies don’t have a problem selling it and someone doesn’t have a problem buying it then essentially there isn’t a problem.
Jacob finds this interesting and he’s the one buying it so we get to share this experience with him. I for one think he didn’t have to buy them, and could’ve just posted a video of him discovering the listing, but going that extra mile to purchase it make for good content.
If the owner hates fakes, they have videos of them destroying fakes (except the one time they destroyed authentic chinese gameboys), and they actively tell you to avoid them and you wouldn't get any from them why do they have them and even better why are they selling them?
First fake controllers now this
The (sh)atGames Genesis that was still powered after unplugging was taking in voltage from HDMI. It takes in just enough for the LED to light up. High quality there.
Cant wait for their excuse to be "we can't check every piece we receive as authentic or particularly good, so we sell the non premium on ebay!"
meanwhile also touting their expertise that would've avoided this
i hate testing games in my retron. it feels like im gonna break something EVERY time
that faded NES was either left out in the sun for a week or left under a UV light for a few days
I feel like your missing the point of them being against fake games/consoles. It's pretty obvious it is referring to fakes and knockoffs being sold AS their real counterpart for the price of a real console. Pretty sure that is exactly what DKOldies is NOT doing. Believe me I dislike DK myself, but this is just misrepresentation
call this The Pennsylvania Pickup! (dkoldies is based in pennsylvania, so this fits)
Worst part of these consoles is always the faulty sound so you should check that too.
We still talking about these guys? I didn't know your channel was that dead.
I am 100% convinced that nothing that they sell as untested as is can be repaired
Oh, it CAN be repaired.
They just don't want to do it.
Why is this business still operating if they are known for ripping off their customers. Selling counterfeit products is a crime .
Dang, Jacobs prob in debt from how expensive dkoldies is😂
For them to say all of that about "knock-off" consoles only to turn around & actually sell them, shows everything you need to see about who DK Oldies is as a company.
They literally tell people NOT to buy them & to be on the lookout for them on "auction sites," but are selling the knockoffs themselves on ebay. They even went as far as to say that those consoles are illegal. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!
This video brings us awareness. DKoldies has to stop. And i had enough for them.... Keep it up bro.
you got a good deal, i wouldnt complain
That's what's called "hypocrisy". Well, I don't live in their distribution region but I wouldn't buy anything from them after seeing what they sold you. I wouldn't trust anything from them.
The thing thats the most sketchy, is that a company that REFURBISHES games/systems....would put an untested console up for sale. Considering how easy it would be for them to test
Open up the last console that smelled of burning plastic but turns on, I’d be interested to see what’s wrong, it’s probably something simple like a shorted capacitor.
Great video lad keep up the good work
you had me until you showed the ebay listing. its perfectly normal for places like this to have an ebay account that sells defective items along with fakes. It just says mini consoles it doesnt state authentic. i dont like dkoldies but they did no wrong here, their mission statement is only posted on their website and not on ebay.
The whole point is that this company constantly derides knockoffs, they say they refuse to sell them but they're known liars, this is just showing how much further they're willing to lie for money. They're a scummy company.
🤦🏻
So actively telling people to beware of knock offs and being openly against them while also selling them isn't hypocritcal? They have youtube postings an tweets about that stuff its also the same exact company you can't just say it doesn't count because its not their website
Not to mention that it's illegal to even resell those counterfeit consoles . If they shipped it through the post office , that's a crime too to send counterfeits through the US mail .
@@bryanobrien2726 If what they are doing on ebay is truly illegal report all of the listings selling these consoles. nothing will happen because it doesn't matter.
„we NEVER sell any fakes or reproductions!“ Said the company that literally gave this man a Entertainment System Instead of a Nintendo Entertainment System.
I have that larger Sega Genesis HD console. Genesis games do technically work, but just a small handful. The manual has a list of all compatible games
Dkoldies back at it and even worse this time 😂😂😂
DKoldies somehow managed to make things even worse with them
The endless free content DKOldies provides
Never bought anything from ebay but can you report them for selling these? Would be funny if ebay actually ban dkoldies 😂😂
you can report, but it's not a problem ebay is actually interested in solving. They make money on people dropshipping crap like this and schlepping repro games from CHina, even at a normal scammers price like it's OEM, they do not want to solve the problem. It is technically illegal though, and it is definitely against ebay TOS. Ebay plays favorites and only cares about money though, like many modern businesses.
bro's entire personality is one business
Just say you don’t watch my channel, it’d be easier than blabbing nonsense
My first sale on eBay was of Mario 64, Dkoldies bought it from me. You best believe it got a good ole nut rub down.
I once opened a GameCube controller I got from DKoldies, and I legit not only found dust inside, but also dead bugs... Not to mention the knock-off control stick they replaced the original with.
Dkoldies know exactly what they're doing. Calling them untested just means they can shrug their shoulders and say they didn't know the consoles are bootleg fakes. They're just clearing out inventory space.
I'm sure they bought it bulk and then promptly put them in a bulk broke/untested really.
Didn’t think I’d see a dkoldies video again
Didn’t think I would either honestly lol
the NES classic may have spent a good few years just in direct sunlight in a second hand shop.
Hey you should really check on that Madden game...I had a similar retroduo console and I smelled the same thing. It fried my Double Dragon game in seconds. I don't know if it was my power supply, but I wouldn't be surprised that those consoles are just fire hazards as a whole.
Honestly those Atgames consoles might as well be fake with how crappy they are for playing Genesis games off the cartridge
Yeah I learned that they are junk lol but tbf those are at least licensed. Amazing how Sega let those go out for sale (maybe not surprising though)
Honestly, DKOldies needs to look at all the controversy and take it into consideration, like actually refurbishing their consoles and giving us actual ODM controllers. And now they're selling knock-off consoles and made a post saying that it's illegal to sell them? DKOldies is just hitting rock bottom. They could've been better than GameStop, but they messed up and this led them into another pit of controversy. They should just sit down and think at this point. DKOldies is turning into another GameStop, but worse.
P.S. Third party controllers just suck
I always laugh when you say “I have no words” or “I can’t make this up”
I like how my local gaming store I can get a 320gb Xbox 360 with oem power brick and controller that's in good shape all for only $100 what's wrong with companies?
Most Retron consoles use CENTER NEGATIVE power supplies. They always have fried regulators because people use different power supplies with common center positive. That's probably what you smell, toasted regulator and capacitor.
That wasn’t a retron. It’s made by retrobit, and the power supply I used is the official retrobit power supply that comes with it.
@@jrob0021 Ah, I wasn't paying enough attention.
you are beating a dead horse man
nope, it's still alive and well
Are these the guys that are making shorts giving away free stuff? Makes sense. When you're slinging crap, you want to give away free stuff so when you get outed, the villagers don't come at you with too many torches.
As bad as DKOldies might be, I imagine they buy enormous lots of retro consoles and games and they likely end up with a lot of these third party consoles mixed in with what they buy. I don't see any problem with them offloading them on ebay as an untested lot. They aren't selling them as real consoles on their websites.
it's illegal and against ebay TOS as well, so there is a problem and just bc you are too naive to see it, doesn't mean there is none.
You are my favourite CZcamsr
It's very possible these were in a collection they bought and it just ended up being fake systems in the end and this is where they had to go to sell them cause they couldn't do it on their website.
Watching your videos always just makes my day cause im into retro videogames or the 2000s consoles like PS3 or XBOX360
Is DKoldies a scam? 🙂↕️ YES
Not being sold on their website. It's on eBay they are not selling it on the website. I don't care as much. You knew when you looked at the listing they were knockoffs
I love these videos lol glad there’s another one. 😂
But that ziplock bag seemed authentic
This is disingenuous at best, its a lot of untested consoles, its not like you chose a real console and got a fake one. Whatever gets the clicks I guess
The fake consoles is fine for a re seller but it's just weird that they let these through without some sort of disclaimer attached at the very least since it's their policy not to sell that kind of products. It's an easy fix for them. Maybe they'll do better in the future.
It's not fine . You can't trust any store that sells knockoffs . It's illegal and no legit business should be doing it , period . It's actually a crime to send counterfeits through the US mail system .
no disclaimer from them because it is against ebay TOS to sell said items.
@@penguinjay That's true . In the "Report" section of each auction there is an option to report them for using a counterfeit item disclaimer . It's basically admitting right up front that you're breaking TOS .
Would it sting less if they explicitly stated that there may contain counterfeit products because it is a lot? Lots especially in eBay aren't 100% guaranteed to be worth it
Doesnt matter how many youtubers call thia company out, 50 yr old moms will see a dk oldies short remember the name cause its catchy and easy 2 remember and when their kids wants something they will go to their store or website

I find with most knock off Sega consoles it's the sound emulation that is usually off, I have the retro trio and the sound on that thing is horrible for Sega games
With SNK Neo Geo MVS cartridges, people flash chips with games and solder them to cheaper game's boards. That's prolly what they mostly mean
I thought this saga was over. Yet I'm still here. 😢
The AtGames Genesis is notorious for playing and sounding awful. What's interesting is that the even cheaper Radica plug and plays can actually be modded to sound alright.
Plot twist. The DK Oldies ebay isn't actually DK Oldies but someone using their name.
That would be extremely impressive considering this dkoldies seller on ebay has 188,000 items sold lol
How are they still operating been seeing these videos for at least a year a half
You misread the article about not being scammed. If you look very closely is actually say "Don't get scammed by others, be scammed by us instead".
"We didn't test them so how could we know they're fake?"
That is a big old YIKES. I had at least partially considered buying a PSP from them just to see what the quality difference would've been between them and the typical mystery systems I get from Japan, but after seeing this, I'd half expect them to send me a fake Pop Station or something and turn me into late-2000s Ashens in no time.
I've had both NES and SNES mini consoles since release and I might have one or two suspend points saved on each, nothing more. It might be that the previous owners did play those games a bunch and just never saved.
DKoldies pulled a Dkfailure.
How come you didn’t show us the description of the listing?
