A man returns...
welcome back
Please stop making dkoldies videos. We know you want the views, but this is ridiculous
Yo i ain't ever been this early. Not even for a date...
A bird also returns
@@Sonic101_ He’ll stop when he stops making “GAMESTOP IS DYING ZOMG!!!11!!!!” videos and having ceramic birds on his desk.
And to think I nearly bought a refurbished 3DS from them.......thanks to people like you and Jacob R I didn't waste my money on them.
They’re hit or miss I guess, I bought a psp from them and it works fine
@@getreadyeddieproductions9084 and you paid over double its current value, congrats!

Joey saying: “is DKOldies a scam? No.” Is like Bruce Wayne saying: “Am I Batman? No.”
I would have appreciated an Spoiler alert about Batman's secret identity 😠
Haha!
Bruce wayne isn't batman. Bruce wayne is merely a costume Batman wears.
JOOOKEEEEERRR
@@williammiller3277 Exactly!😉
I am so glad I built my retro game collection back in 2007. Its like the F'n wild west trying to even get a working retro console nowadays. Prices are through the roof now too.
Our local used game store doesn't promise refurbished, but whenever we have any issues they always help us! We don't have any issues but once with an NES game being a bit dirty, but they cleaned it no problem. It's sad that DK Oldies can't hold up to their promises.
Always makes me laugh that your dad looks younger than you. He must have lived a better life mostly DK Oldies free.
Glad to see you're up and making new videos. I have a daughter as well so when I saw what you were going through with your daughter it literally brought me to tears! Praying hard for your daughter to have a speedy recovery! I think you handled that horrible situation as good as possible. Major props to you for still being able to make some content while going through that! Love your content, Rich! Hang in there, buddy!
And also for the N64 to work and DKOldies to calm down.
I actually had to deliver a package from DKOldies this past week. I felt bad for the customer, knowing he likely got scammed.

They probably got it in a somewhat clean state. The fact that they still haven't refurbished it makes it just as inexcusable as before.
The issue was always they used "refurbished" where they would have been fine just calling it pre-owned. So yes, this changes nothing.
Rich: "DON'T BUY THINGS FROM DKOLDIES!!"
Also Rich: (Buys more things from DKoldies)
Yeah, he really needs to stop. We know how they do things, so this is pointless. He needs to move on and check out other retro stores, but not Lukie Games or Gamestop because they've been done multiple times now too. There are like at least 5 more of them but nobody wants to check any of those out for some reason.
@@JMFSpike because they need them CLICKS and people are obsessed with watching the same thing over over and over rand over
@@JMFSpike at this point these videos are funding both ReviewTechUSA and DKOldies from sales. :|
@@JMFSpike views my friend. Income my friend.
He reviews tech and dk oldies sells tech. They are a big topic right now and rich has already said that aslong as dk oldies is trying to do damage control he will continue to expose them. He’s sticking to his word and one console purchase isn’t going to keep a company afloat and the damage to their image will lose them revenue
Rich single handedly keeping DK Oldies afloat while exposing them as frauds. Playing both sides and reaping all the rewards. Absolute madman
4D chess.😂
It's exactly what I think every time I see one of these. It's like... how many videos do you do on this before your just plain shilling the views?
We know DKOldies sucks. We know they grossly overcharge. Yet we (not ME exactly... but a lot of youtubers and wanna be tubers) keep buying this crap to KEEP making these videos.
At first it was about getting the knowledge out there so that folks know these guys are full of it. At a point though, it's exactly what your talking about.
"This week on what the F$*K did DKOldies send us!"

@@brandonkick That's the real scam. Using DKOldies for views, incorporating their huge social following into yours. 90% of large stores that claim to sell refurbished consoles, are actually selling consoles that aren't properly refurbished. GameStop, DKOldies, eBay you name it. It's nothing new. Simply don't buy retro stuff from these big stores. These CZcams guys just keep making these vidoes for ratings. They're not helping or exposing anything.
@@briangriffin391
eBay isn't necessarily a store but a vendor for other people's stores and no not everyone is aware of these shops.
I for one would like to know if a particular shop is a scam or not.
You might not care or purchase "retro" or older consoles but other people don't want to waste money in broken equipment or scratched games.
If DK Oldies and places like them do not refurbish the consoles, then I love to hear actual suggestions on exactly what reputable dealers to go through.
Exactly
Anywhere that gives you photos and a description of the actual item you're getting (aka eBay sellers with reputable feedback)
@@jrob0021 hi Jacob!
@@jrob0021 Thank you Jacob R!
There's no one place really. I bought an N64 from Mercari back in December, it came with 5 wrestling games, 2 OEM controllers (1 was in great condition the other is fine but the stick is kinda loose) and the power supply and AV cable for $155. It arrived in "too good to be true" condition as it looked like it was barely ever used...so I opened it up, and it was completely dust free...I wasn't expecting it to be THAT nice. The games that came with it definitely had 20+ years of wear on them, but the pins were spotless.
Bought a black Wii off of eBay the other day for $45, came with 3 Wiimotes, 5 games, a Nunchuck, a charging dock, the stand, the cables and even the instruction manuals...the disc drive needs some work (it keeps making the eject sound for a bit after you take a disc out), but otherwise it was in great shape, even still had the flaps that cover the Gamecube ports.
Point is...random people on the internet are doing better work than these online retailers are for FARRRR cheaper prices. Just gotta look around a little.
Good seeing you back on the channel. Hope everything is all good with the family. Love the DKOldies video series.
The editing was superb!! great job Jay.
The things on the ends of that beefy HDMI cable are black ferrite cores. They reduce electrical noise on the line. It's for when you hear things like buzzing, white noise, etc. because your system has poor shielding. HDMI typically doesn't have those problems though so they're more for like a 3.5mm audio cable which is highly susceptible to noise, USB cables & your actual power cords.
Your dad is the epitome of what a REAL MAN is supposed to be. Talking from the perspective of a guy who never met his dad, you are immensely blessed.
I never met my dad either. From what I heard of him? Don't think I want to either. Sorry you never met yours. That aside, I agree. RTU's dad is GOAT lol. I should try and ask Rich if he and/or his dad would take a payment to fix one of my old consoles... really miss playing on it.
Meh, take a hike
@@MLPIceberg I don’t think they would
He'll come back with the milk one day.
Breathe air
Love seeing ya father help out. You guys have an amazing bond, wish my father was still around
Good to see ya doing videos again. One thing I have always thought in these cases where the console seems clean it could also just be how it was maintained by the original owners. I know I personally always tore down systems when I would sell them or hand them down to other family and friends.
The slight pass given for the look of someone making good on their promise or guarantee could be them hedging their bets that its been maintained in some way.
Just my 1½ cents being thrown out there.
I remember when I had a Nintendo 64 and the DK Donkey Kong Song was the most memorable experience that still gets stuck in my head sometimes.
Rich tomorrow: Joey and Jay are getting married. Let’s talk about it
😂😂😂 to who princess peach from Mario
Idk what I'd do without these dk oldies videos. They've become a guilty pleasure for me, 😅
I'm personally getting tired of seeing them. I block channels and add them to my do not recommend list everyday and CZcams continues to find more and more channels talking about this topic. I guess when they say the retro community is out of idea, it's true.
It's a sad state of affairs when there's nothing to draw in views, but the same craptastic company on repeat, but hey keep paying said company to keep making money. I'm getting bored with it as much as everyone else, but I'm still holding out hope like someone who plays the lottery everyday that one of these days the turd will be gold
lmfaoooo sameeeee

@@Claydood cope harder
I like the Japanese adapters and their hori cables too, those are sick. If their 2 player packs come with oem controllers that pretty much work, then good for them that's pretty reasonable in comparison to their old prices. That's a somewhat consumer friendly price point. They aren't hooking them up w friend or market prices, but retail--that's not bad, other people out there bop their customers harder than that.
Only because they got called out.
ive been away from youtube for a while due to work and i come back to one of the vest disassembly segments I've seen in a while. Thank you
hey rich glad to see you in a video. my gf and i love to watch your dkoldies slander, she doesn't play video games but gets super excited when you post :)

@@FMCREPAIRARMAGH22 it has a stutter, so all you get is "N" with Joey's dumb face.

This is why I get my stuff on ebay Amazon or local with pawn shops, flea markets, and thrift shops
Always entertaining Rich! Just subbed. Keep it up!
I still quite like these videos, nice to watch as I eat lunch. We don't know if you were finally amongst the few who got away but them reducing their price is absolutely because of you guy's reports.
I’ve seen allot of “refurbished “ consoles on Amazon, I have wondered about their quality as I’m sure they are outsourced. Would love to see a review on one
Most likely the worst of them all. I just ordered a refurbished console from amazon, and let's just put it this way... I can already tell it's gonna have problems 😂
The only Amazon "refurbished" or "renewed" consoles that are good are the consoles that are relatively young (less than 10 years old or so).
Essentially, those consoles probably weren't "refurbished", but were used and returned in good condition, so they are still playable. For example, I bought a "renewed" (granted that is different fron refurbished) sega genesis mini 1 a few weeks ago from Amazon, and it plays extremely well because it's only 4 years old or so.
My wife got my N64 from Amazon about a year ago as a surprise gift. I'm not sure what 3rd party refurbished it, but both the console and original controller was clean at least exterior wise. I never opened them though. No issues... yet 🤞
I can't speak for refurbished consoles on Amazon, but I have purchased five refurbished PCs and two refurbished cell phones from Amazon, and never had a problem with any of them. I have opened each PC upon arrival and gone through them with a fine-tooth comb. I could find nothing to complain about in ANY of them. All screws tight, all cards, cables, and RAM fully-seated, no dust, exactly the out-of-box experience one should expect.
The PC I'm using now was advertised as "heavily scratched," but in reality it had what I would call "minor scuffing."
As always, thoroughly review SELLER feedback, and try to "read between the lines" to see which critical reviews are due to Operator Error or Unreasonable Expectations. If you have a great experience, be sure to leave positive feedback for the seller, and you'll be helping people like you in the future find those sweet deals.
@@jrob0021 thank you, I will check out your video on it if you haven’t already posted it, you and rich are my go to channels
So glad for these videos. Wound up getting great old consoles from ebay, Facebook marketplace, and word of mouth. Too boot at a quarter of the price! Shocked DK Oldies still in business.
I subbed. Thanks for your reviews. You saved me probably 1000 bucks that I would've spent on some retro consoles
Honestly watching this whole Saga play out saved me from buying a dreamcast from them.
Saved me from buying a psp too
Did you buy a dreamcast yet? I highly recommend it
“DKOldies, Is it a model 0 or 1 the Dreamcast ? Might want to put a MODE , GDEMU “
( Joey ) “ No ! “
Well, I got an NES and a N64 from them, both in excellent conditions...
I buy from mercari and ebay. Beats the oldies prices.
Great to see you man, I hope your daughter is doing better
I haven't seen it brought up yet, but the amount you paid vs the first one you showed is that you had the "Substitute 2 Original Controllers" and the "Add an AV to HDMI Pak" that's why it's more expensive. so before the sale it was $189 + $60 + $25 = ~$280. Not Defending DK Oldies because that's still an outrageous price just thought I might correct you on that.

I bought a perfectly decent clear green N64 from my local charity shop, with 12 games, for £2. Admittedly, they had no idea what it was so they just basically got rid of it, but £2 isn't bad. I sold it a year later for £5 because I never used it. Probably should have asked for more money.
Anyone else see jigsore second channel where he posted a vid of him working on a N64 at DKo in 2020? The end had me dead with joey wearing a red bandanna as a mask looking like a blood 😂
I saw that lmao, that ending was random 😂😂, someone called him "OG Joey Loc" ...i didnt know joey was making videos in the pandemic

There’s something about the candid way Richie presents these videos ; providing good background noise for when I’m getting absolutely zooted! Thanks ReviewTechUSA!
Richard: "this guy is scamer"
also Richard: "better keep buying all the stock of this guy"
Just gotta make sure he still scamming.
No slander regarding DKScammers and their cult leaders Joey and the ex used car salesman owner!
why not he's surely making his money back on every video and a whole lot extra.
Fr it’s so annoying
I look at it like he's giving them chances rather than just buying one co sole and writing them off entirely
That Japanese PSU takes 100V and has a similar plug to the US however it may die prematurely due to too much voltage after enough use.
*it won’t and works forever*

Glad to see you! I got an n64 from Lukiegames, and it was great.

Great Video as always! Just a question; what is that silver device the left monitor is sitting on?
I laughed so hard at your captions, "A man returns, a son watch's. A bond is formed." That was good lol. Almost choked while I was wolfing down my subway at a son watchs lol. I love your dad, put the man in more hot vids plz!
I looked at the website yesterday, and all the consoles I saw for sale were listed as “Acceptable” condition. Don’t know if that’s different now, though
Its always a good Friday night when you have a DKoldies video from Rick!
What a blast from the past, DSP-Style gameplay recording
The rumble pack came with Starfox 64 which was absolutely phenomenal back in the day, and I remember it like it wasn't too long ago.
I still think the discussion on DKOldies should continue. If they're improving that means keep the pressure on them or else they'll grow complacent again and get lazy. I do think Lukie Games should be looked at next, not as bad as DKOldies but a little questionable and I think letting these places know that the people want what they pay for and what's promised to them get met. These retro games and hardware are likely on their last legs so I think they should be treated fairly and taken care of to prolong their lives as long as possible. Game preservation is important, and I wish the industry felt the same way.
Apparently Lukie Games used to be great from almost everyone’s experience including mine. They literally became bad as soon as they knew they could scam people just like DK Oldies.
i remember being obsessed with retro consoles in 2015 and stumbling onto their website. i came so close to buying an n64 bundle but for the price and the uncertainty i couldn’t let myself do it. so glad i never bought from them, thank you for exposing them
Been waiting for two months for this ever since you said you picked this up!
Singing his own song with the Mario menu theme had me dying. Hope everythings going well on the home front.
That japanese power-supply is a fire-hazard. since in Japan they use 100Volt

DKOldies is the Giving Tree of CZcams content
Rich is a huge contributor to making retro gaming more affordable
The console wasn’t even turned off properly before it was sent to you. As soon as you took it out the bubble wrap it was still “powered on”.
13:35 the analog sticks on the n64 and most old systems would calibrate when you started the system each time. to test this, hold a direction when starting the system then let go and see what it does.
They were probly looking out for every and all n64 orders and cleaning every single one 😂
The issue with the port isn't that it is cracked, but moreso that it is on one you purchased not listed as cosmetically flawed. Had it been listed as cosmetically flawed it would be fine since it worked.
Still would have suggested to see if they changed the thermal paste on it (doubt they did).
You realize this is a N64 right
How to spot a copy and paste comment…
Why would a n64 have thermal paste
Good job you spotted a typo, it should have been a pad, wow you're all so smart, oh wait none of the people even said that. You should still replace it, in fact you can replace it with paste for better conductivity.
I remembered my old n64 I had was broken from the port its probably that one 😮
Oh snap! Hey Rich! Hope things are getting better for you and the family
Keep the dk oldies going this is fun to watch
Bro is back
You *can* use a Japanese power supply, but the difference in voltage will put extra stress on the voltage regulator, causing it to die quicker.
LoL the fact joey sent rich an N64 with a Japanese power supply is weird enough. Why a foreign p.s. and not an "original" or at least domestically made p.s.?
@@KootenaiKing Japanese and American systems are almost identical, stickers aside the only difference is two taps in the cart slot. Remove them and you got a console that runs both US and JP games.
Probably got a bunch of those with modded slots traded in and the power supply landed in a box with American ones.
I have not been selling retro games for over 10 years, but when I sold a twin fami as refurbished, I dishwasher the main board, hand rebend the connector, give it a new sewing machine belt AND recapped the power supply and the main board. I sold red ones for $199 and black ones for 229. Oh, I would also put nes female controller ports for another $20. Or I would change the pads for $10. Getting an "A" disk board was another $30 but let you load games from your PC. I used to buy large lots of fami disk drives to salvage A boards.
Love every second you have with him when they're gone it hurts so much I lost my dad 3 years ago😂😢😮
Would be interesting to see some consoles from gamestop
Hey, Joey. Should I buy a classic console from your company?
Joey: No
Thanks!
Love you're videos hope you're daughter is doing ok. Praying for you and you're family 🙏
There is a battery mod for the rumble paks so you don't need batteries anymore. You just flip a resistor or whatever it is inside the pak and it will run off the console. Super easy if anyone has the most basic of soldering skills. Can only run 2 at a time tho.
Party time! I can never get enough of the dkoldies drug!
I bought a kidney from a man in a gorilla suit wearing a hat with the initials "DK" on it. Let's get into it
Gonna sell my car as refurbished, just have to stop at a car wash real quick
17:09 reminds me of when my xbox 360 got struck by lightning and he opened it to try and fix it. The cpu was fried though so it didnt work.
you insult them but it's like you are their number one customer with how many consoles you have bought from them at this point
I want DK Oldies each week. Until we find that rare gem with pristine interiors.
The intro music for “A Man…” is very touching. 😢
I gotta call my dad now.
You know the controller Port could have gotten banged in shipping right? Also about your PC you mentioned have you tried swapping HDMI cable first?
Your in love with DK store it’s making you buying old gen consoles that nobody plays on anymore if I want to play Nintendo 64 games I can just play them on my PC or on Nintendo Switch that has the rewind feature the Nintendo 64 you just bought doesn’t have
Yeah but with the switch you're just renting classic games. My kids can buy a house selling my consoles and games after I kick it.
@@mrbungle589 tell me a store that sells these old gen games for a reasonable price their not worth $60 even if their sealed you saw the prices on Wii U if their $9.99 it’s fine I’ll buy them Nintendo understands Nintendo 64 games aren’t worth $60 your now dealing with scalpers I’m not giving them any business scalpers made me stop shopping on ebay DK store prices are no different from ebay prices and yet people still buy from them the only game I’m interested in buying is tears of the kingdom it would make no sense if not everyone buys it day 1 then years later they want to buy it from scalpers there will be sealed ones going for a thousand dollars there will be graded versions going for the price of a home and cars who are these retards that’s paying the scalpers that’s why they still buy out everything that they don’t want really
Renting is better then paying scalpers over a thousand dollars for just one game I bought so many games from the Wii U before it closed especially the ones the scalpers are selling for a lot of money that aren’t worth what their asking for the digital ones I own are more rare then the physical copies you can tell that to the scalpers
@@mikekanner2156I already own a bunch of consoles and games from 20 plus years ago. The scalpers can eat 💩 lol
You dont get it. The real feel is in the original. Hooked up to a crtv
I want to see more of this! This series is like a drug. so addictive.
Weird, I do not remember the power supply fitting into the back of it like that.
Noble sacrifice, sir.
Yaaaayyyy more DKOldies dumpster fire! Can't wait!
