The ENTIRE downfall of DKOldies...
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 02. 2024
- It's crazy how this entire saga happened... I purchased a refurbished console from dkoldies back in December 2022, realized they weren't actually refurbishing anything, and then it just snowballed from there. The entire saga likely would have ended after a couple more videos... but then they kept responding and doubling down on claims that they do indeed refurbish consoles! It was a wild ride, but it's over for now (unless they decide to do something else crazy). Maybe I'll purchase from them once a year to see if they've made changes. Let me know what you think!

Sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and enjoy a full FIVE HOURS of the DKOldies Saga!
Love your channel since one and big love from London ❤
@@jackbarber9466same mate.
Woah 5 hours bro I thought this was a single video lol
nobody cares bro youve given dkoldies more advertising than anyone else are they paying you
I actually grabbed popcorn
when a company is so bad it has 5 and a half hours worth of lore
JACOB R is mad dkoldies took clients from his scalper page on ebay
They dont even have a physical location listed anymore. At least not directly.
$300 for a refurbished ps3 slim is already a red flag.
Lol yeah that’s pretty much where it all started. $300 ps3 that wasn’t actually refurbished? Suspicious! Then it all snowballed from there
Payed 150 for an actual refurbished from a local shop, they ran it, tested, and cleaned it.
Nothing crazy.
That's like buying it new 💀
I laughed when he opened the PlayStation store and the ad for the PS4 bundle was for the exact same price.
Got a Slim on eBay for like $105 and it was in working condition. $300 for a "refurbished" console is absurd.
Five and a half hours? Time to grab some popcorn.
Buy the extra large bucket, ill invite some friends and we’ll split the bill!
I was wondering why the it time thing wasn't moving then noticed it was 5 hours lol
I can't believe someone had the nevve to sit there and say "You're getting what you're paying for." when you are getting third-party controller that comes with a fat PS3 bundle that you spent over $400 for. If I spend that much for a PS3 bundle, I expect to get an official dualshock 3 controller with my purchase.
I spent $200 on paper Mario thousand your door from DK oldies it arrived, completely scratched and didn’t even work on a GameCube and it was a crazy hassle to get a refund
Two videos not far apart from each other is a blessing from Jacob
Glad you enjoy! 🎉
@@jrob0021Kansas Kollection is required ASAP.
I'm so glad you made this, I was trying to find a DKOLDIES saga playlist but they were out of order!
Lmao same 😂
Feb 2024 and an 80GB "reverse compatable" PS3 is going for 499.99 from them now. What a joke. But at least it comes with an original controller now 😂
I can’t imagine having $500 of spending money in my pocket and choosing a used PS3 from 2006 over a new PS5.
I sold my ps5 for a ps3 and ps4 pro because the ps5 was a waste of money has zero good games😂@@OfBrysonMen
Costs £160 near me
In fairness, if they do actually delid all of them (which they should at that price) it wouldn’t actually be as bad of pricing as they had before. It would only be a 50-66% markup from eBay.
@@Alexlfm only well that's great 🙄
I was a game store in tokyo not too long ago and I was shocked to see joey from dkoldies there. We got to talking and he really hit it off. He invited me to his hotel for a party. It was really popping. I was looking for the bathroom but i must of opened the wrong door because I saw Joey dressed in samurai costume making love to a very overweight gentleman tied up with a Nintendo 64 controller covered in baby oil.
😂😂😂😂😂 bro 😂😂😂
Joey tried to drug me in a Chili's bathroom
I’m dying. I’m dead.
Imagine this being released as premier.
That would be crazy 😂
@@jrob0021 Well, now you know what to do next time when you have 5 or more hours long video. lol
Them putting "please clean" on their P.O. just proves that they don't refurbish their systems. That would just be a given if that were the case. They just proved their own guilt!! SMH.
Wow, this whole situation was crazy. I’d loved looking through this when it happened. Time to go back through this! Thanks!
Saving this to listen to at work on monday!
Jacob: I'll put these broken consoles aside and make a video fixing them at the end of the haul.
End of the haul:
Repairing consoles takes a long time lol.
@@jrob0021make a teaser trailer with epic music once it’s done
@jrob0021 hell taking apart some of these consoles takes a good amount of time let alone fixing and cleaning them. That's how we all know they aren't refurbishing stuff, it's too time consuming.
@@billcravens5907same with computer's and I know this from year's of experience
jeez man the amount of editing and work you do for youtube is crazy, keep up da great work my dude!!!
This is great second monitor material while I play games. Love the compilations recently and have really enjoyed the hauls. They're so much fun!
This should be turned into an A&E docu-series
😭😭 for sure
5 hour lore dump of a situation that I am completely out of the loop?
Count me in!
Gosh i love these types of videos man 2 years seems like yesterday man i wish i could go back and relive this nostalgia 😖
"nostalgia"
@@micklucas1451 Yes, nostalgia. Is there a reason you put quotation marks around the word?
2 years is too early@@Official_Rz
The feel is different is all my body and mind is comfortable when I picture things that already happened I have mental health to so I'm not trying to confuse or cause drama because I'm not that I'm just glad to be apart of this community because I didn't have it growing up
Obama did not start WW2@@HiiSenpai
45:35 oh ok we flip it now- HOLY MOTHER OF EVERYTHING
I'm so glad you put together all the DKoldies videos, very well made! I usually do not comment but have watched almost all your videos, love your work 😊
This is definitely gonna keep me company while I'm at work/working on manga scanlation lmao
Ooh that sounds interesting 😮
Did you set the console color scheme the same across all models on those Nintendo DS Lite's @ 4:18:28. Obviously the refurb issues are evident and they missed the mark, but I'm curious if the screen looked "pink" because it was set to a pink color scheme?
Glad to see your still posting about these scam artists. Granted that these are older videos, happy to see you haven't forgot about them.
I just woke up with this playing and i thought jay eazy was unboxing a ps3
I was never book smart
New subscriber! I have been watching your unboxing videos on various consoles for like the past 3 weeks before I go to bed 😹. Never had any of the old consoles so it’s fun to see the old UIs and profiles on every one of them lolz
Hi Jacob
Do you have any advice on How to keep a wii remote connected because i have 2 remotes that never connect and i have changed the batteries a bunch of times
So if you have any advice that would really help
i live in Bangladesh i live in Bangladesh
open the cover and press and hold the little red button inside. hold the red button under the cover on the wii at the same time.
5 HOURS?!? holy moly cant wait to listen to this at work
Keep the saga going bro. Love the DKOldies videos. Hampton Haul and Texas Load were good too but the DKOldies saga was what got me to subscribe in the first place when all the controversy surrounding their company was at its peak late 2022-early 2023
The saga is over unless they do something else crazy lol. Which is always possible
I was watching a BK4 console errors video and an inserting foreign disc video of his in my recommended
Unintentionally watched the rest, intentionally subscribed
@@jrob0021$900 dkoldies console that comes in a GameStop box
Maybe after the jig's up Joey could convert the warehouse into a ⬛🟧 studio and be a different kind of star.
He posted twice really close to each other?! Bro is amazing!
Did you have any trouble downloading the new update on the PS3?
I finally made it to the end of the video and my favorite moment of this saga will always be the desert PS3 😂 it has hilarious!
I love the DK Oldies saga. Thanks for the content Jacob R!
Yeah the Wii I got that was “refurbished” wasn’t. It was yellow stained, like a smoker had it before. It was unfortunate. I don’t mind copping their ps2 games but I avoid their consoles because you can usually find better prices somewhere else with better quality
lol I remember I bought a copy of Earthbound from Dkoldies for like 200 dollars back in 2018 which I think they accidentally underpriced because it was actually worth like 350-400 dollars. I actually ripped dkoldies off.
can this be taken to court for not selling what they detailed? cause it’s CRIMINAL they priced that around 300$ the most recent refurbished i got from disc replay was not only cheaper but cleaner than this one
Bro a lawyer is like 300 an hour. Just to sit and talk and tell them what happened lmfao.
Know I’m a little late but was amazing to watch these videos and review techs during all this
WTF? LMAOO I haven't seen good old "ChadWarden" in over a decade. "I'm talkin bout that Sony..PS TRIPLE... I ain't talkin' bout that Wii" What an absolute goofball yet simultaneous CZcams legend.
Aside from that, been enjoying your content on DKOldies and your straightforward coverage of it. Earned a sub from me. Looking forward to going back to watch some other content you've done and will be on the lookout for more new stuff. The quality is appreciated and I personally love longer formats in uploads, so this is is exactly what I'm usually looking for.
Some people will stand up for anything they don't even think or have brain cells bro those people defending DK oldies for scamming are the same people getting scammed & thinking it's a good deal, too funny.
is there any place reliable to buy from
Ngl, i really love and enjoy joeys commentary and videos on Dkoldies, but am sad that there is this much stuff going on with them. So sad. Hope they fix the refurbished and cost stuff.
This needs to be a 3am banger. Its 4pm for me and this is 5 hours lol
3:36:14 this car example is actually a perfect example of what’s going on with DKoldies because they’re ignoring small easy fixes that will eventually mess up the entire system its a perfect example.
Hey Jacob. When does the Hampton haul repairs video drop
Maybe next week. Depends when I finish enough repairs for a video
Thanks for sharing. Hello from Nova Scotia Canada
Been watching these console reviews for a LONG time now... But I was curious do you actually get into playing on your own time?
is there anything new or is this just condensed into one video?
Nice to see him upload!
Where is the website he sells consoles at?
I've bought a few games from them in the past and been ok but I kinda leaned into emulation anyway once I realized I could, for example, pick up a retroid rp2+ for less than a game I would purchase to play on my gamecube that the emulator plays on the tv with wireless controllers anyway. I'm disappointed that they fall short on console deals, I hope they get it together...!
Yo jacob just asking but do you fix consoles
I love that this was recommended to me. I was considering buying a game from them but the price of the game was sus so I just put it out of mind. Then this randomly popped up today. 😂 I love the lore.
I just ordered a PS2 Network Adapter from them and the 20 year old thread locker was still set, where is their line drawn for refurbished internals? the thing was dusty as hell!
Also thank you DK oldies for enabling my piracy of PS2 games
Is it worth buying dis games by them? I seen its been kinda cheap
Bro is just milking it now 😂. At least you provided timestamps lol.
yeah, he could've just made a playlist of all these videos in chronological order
edit: well, looks like he already did that
Jacob, the problem is that DK just don't know how to open a PS3 fat model, I got a dead cmos batterie in mine. Seeing you taking them apart terrified me
You're a legend for making this massive supercut dude
Time to rewatch the $400 Desert PS3 incident
For some reason in the 90s and 2000s there is the era of TVs had a headphone jack like Emerson TV has those and the one and one of your videos. Some nails has the TV and the Emerson that has it is a VHS combo from 2002 to March
Took me a second to realise this a mix of videos not just the recent one, was wondering for a second why you weren't calling dkoldies out with the PS3 lol
58:00 you are so wrong, they put the warrenty seal on it, not so you know it has been cleaned,
but to prevent people from checking IF it got cleaned...
1:30:26 told ya!, the seal on their is to prevent people from checking if it is actually clean!.
I love these kinds of long form content
Love the parody part around the three hour mark haha
I keep seeing yt shorts from this guy and the comments are always full of people talking crap about his business. I work in a warehouse where we refurbish computers for amazon, so seeing the packaging of the products being so unprofessional hurts me a little
can you do an update with lukie games amazon and retrovgames videos too?
I couldn't wait longer than 45 minutes in to comment... and I will only do so on consoles of which I have direct experience. I avoided the pre-slim 360s generally, as I could process/mod/refurbish slims a lot faster back in the day. Also, get one of the x-clamp tools for a couple bucks. You'll feel like a rockstar lol.
1. OG XBOX: While I really disdain the 1.6/1.6b revisions, that console as a whole was in really wonderful shape. I really enjoy the challenge of these consoles with modchips, 128MB RAM upgrades, HDMI kits, BIOS patching, IDE to SATA drive swaps, and all the minutae of those processes. That being said, the OG XBOXes are notorious for the thermal "cement" they use on the heatsinks. Cleaning it off can require a light solvent to do properly which then requires cleaning the solvent off thoroughly if it's the orange nonsense that's on some of them that turns to cement dust. It doesn't give anyone a pass for selling something refurbished with decades old thermal compound still in there. They are also a travesty to clean properly. There are so many nooks and crannies, metal pieces, etc. that must be cleaned separately. The metal shell parts does indeed rust on a lot of these, and I usually end up sanding them and painting them black because there's no other good way forward.
2. BC PS3: I'll go beyond the obvious here that you really needed a respirator to open that, but not changing the thermal compound *above and below* the heatspreaders is a complete sham for that price. The thermal compound between the Cell CPU and the heatspreader will 100% dry out and cause heat issues. It's not easy and comes with some risk to separate the heatspreader from the Cell due to the glue. For $400, this should have been done. Any tech worth their weight should be able to change the compound below both the Cell and RSX heatspreaders in 30 minutes or less given the proper tools. These BC systems are such an incredible piece of technology, and they deserve to be given every chance of surviving.
Watched a few of your videos and I am enjoying however I have to watch this one in increments but will finish it 🤣🤣 subscribed though 😊
Since your order was picked I'm throwing in a Bluetooth headset manual. Enjoy your order!
I listen to your videos as I work remotely from home. I find them very soothing, and great content btw. Keep exposing these greedy bastards.
This is one of the most entertaining YT vids I've ever watched lmao
I clicked on this and thought it was 5 minuites long. Hoooo it was 5 hours long, add 3 more hours and this is basically my whole work shift.
That face In the thumbnail never fails to catch me.
Bros been milking dkoldies in the title
There’s numerous problems because people order stuff there and sometimes while they’re fixing it the order says right now as they are fixing it still or repairing it, so make sure to do it another month in advance because if I’m selling a motor and I have to restore it to a good condition or new, the buyer hast to wait another long time because the motor has already been started on or fixed and restored, but the motor is in complete so I have to inform them
The disc drive on that last PS4 sounded like it was in pain. Like that actually sounded like it was crying.
4:18:05 - (Me) I haven't seen this video before... Cool
4:18:22 - (Me after realizing it's the editor) YAY!!! A fellow editor getting recognized! I love to see it.

55:11 my 360 was never that loud, and it was one of the older ones too. Sadly the red ring of death killed it and my mom tossed it. Really wish I still had it I would totally try to fix it
For what it's worth, fixing it would require you to desolder the gpu from the motherboard and replacing it with a newer gpu that doesnt have the underlying infill issue. It's a difficult operation that takes a lot of skill and practice with specialized equipment that can be expensive
$299 MSRP for the PS4 and it was the same amount for the PS3 purchased in the video, brilliant.
The amazing documentary, this belongs on history channel
Still a month later while I finish watching this video, the one thing DKOldies never fails to disappoint is blowing everyone's mind with there several double downs that they've always been refurbishing consoles day 1. There ain't nothing like good ol' angry Joey after being sent this video link broken perfectly down into segments 😆
Joeys face in the background sent my sides in orbit
Appreciate this video Jacob. U R the MAN
That 360 was cosmetically flawed missing the memory cover IS a cosmetic flaw after all. Also the warranty void stickers are not legally enforceable for them or the OEM its just its realistically not worth almost anyones time or money to fight it in court as it would cost more then said items.
joey's face getting more cursed by each part XD🤣🤣🤣🤣
Think they’ll ever make a sticker for the console that says “refurbished on -insert date-“ ? Might be a good idea. Don’t know if people will not like it the same as the warranty stickers.
that power suply is the replacement "safety" power supply for the og xbox
Bro made a 5 hour video. He is getting to single handedly disembody their establishment😂.
where are the hampton haul repair episodes????????
chill I had like 20 bad consoles, these things don't just fix themselves lol
Ok, Understood
They should be required to take pics of the refurbishment process and email them to you before sending out. Oh but that would cut into the profits and they would actually have to hire people to refurbish the console.
Tesco operates under a corporate governance structure typical of publicly traded companies. This includes a Board of Directors responsible for overseeing company strategy and performance, with various committees such as audit, remuneration, and nomination committees to ensure effective governance practices. Additionally, Tesco adheres to regulatory requirements and corporate governance best practices to maintain transparency and accountability to its shareholders and stakeholders.
on those retro genesis consoles full size you have to hit the menu button and reset it from the menu. As ytou know the old genesis that menu button was a reset button.
i got scammed by them
They moving consoles like bricks
5 hours?…. I need to make the time to watch this.
Best way to spend Friday!!
Is DKFOLDIES a scam? YES 🙂↕️.
Is the exposing just a joke or jacob actulay did that
I picked up the cleanest Xbox 360 slim I ever seen with a OEM controller and OEM 250g hard drive for $100 locally about a month ago
