Do you think they intentionally scammed me, or do you think it was an honest mistake?
thay scamed you
It could go either way, but I think this one was just a matter of a clueless employee (clueless in terms of gaming) making the listing and assuming it was brand new because it was sealed with some tape. Like I could see my mom doing this with no ill intentions 😂
@@jrob0021 maybe a clueless employee?
They tried to scam you 🤦🏽♂️ but at least you got some good content out of it ,well sort of at least
I mean it's goodwill... So I'll say scam
I bet the guys at Goodwill rub their hands together when they see your name come through on the order 😂
And they probably get together and say how can we screw with him this time boys?
😂😂
@@jrob0021 are you able to get refunds on these stuff?
which doesn't make any sense, I mean he is a YTuber likely to destroy their reputation if they mess up.
🤣🤣
It just keeps happening! At this point a majority of your channel is just you getting ripped off 😂❤
Lol yeah I actually went a pretty long while without anything too crazy happening, but the past week or so has been rip off after rip off lol. Got another tomorrow as well 😂
Right? This dude is a professional scammer - but on the opposite end of scam
Thats the point of his channel...
@@rezabijnen1 dude - it’s literally not 💀 but at this point it might as well be hahaha
Well he kind of asks for it, always buying from the sketchy sellers and websites. I remember he bought that xsx on eBay and it had no pictures, reviews or ratings. It turned out legit but like I said earlier, he literally asks for it lol. Good content for me 😂
$300 bucks is insane 😂
You can get the Xbox Series S for that much LOL
Goodwill is becoming nothing but a scam. I was in my local Goodwill recently, and the prices are bordering retail, if not more.
Idk depends on which goodwill. I’ve been to some that only have garbage and at others you can get like 8 really nice items of clothing for $20-30 or so
The goodwills in my area have been scams for years now
Just like the car market. I was looking at a new 2023 Type R, and multiple dealerships are asking $5k+ over retail.
It depends on various locations I actually worked with a very young guy who was my price manager and he priced a item $400 instead of the $ 100 I mentioned ( it was originally priced at about 900 brand new I felt like that's too greedy for a company that gets stuff free overall.
Go to value village instead
For testing purposes, I have revived red ringing 360s for about an hour, by removing the shell, disc drive, and plastic shroud that covers the heatsink, and going over it with a hairdryer for ten minutes (full heat). Then letting it cool and usually thats enough to find out what dash a console is on.
Just wrap it in a towel
@@dannysmith8549 that's actually not good that can ruin the motherboard
@@coltongamings1239 did it for 5+ years
Eh that damages the board in the long run. It only revives them by flexing the board enough to briefly get the flip chip to make contact.
If it's red ringing at all, get a refund from whoever sold it to you. Since unless you have the equipment and tools to reball and/or completely replace the CPU/GPU it's dead AF.
Don’t forget that I’m giving away a blades dashboard 360 AND a PS5 😳 link in the description
This is why Goodwill's policy of sending all of the high dollar items to the Ebay store is bs. They don't really know what they're doing.
The entire business is kind of BS. They promote their "hiring of mentally handicap folks" but really, guarantee you it's because of the wage they can pay them. Closer to 0 than minimum wage. AND their entire inventory is donated... free besides labor costs of sorting and overhead of building/land/office/insurance etc. Yet they play up their "charity" image and what not. It's all pretty, underhanded in my opinion.
Thats a good thing dummy.
You wil always 100% of the time get your money back if you send the item back. No returns accepted or not, if they dont want a strike on their account they'll give you your money back.
i havent had a problem with them ever.. :( they tend to be accurate and post pics
Depends on the area. They have different districts/LLC subsidiaries.
The one in mid-Ohio like Ashtabula/Medina, etc. has a dozen or so stores with a rewards card and rewards points. lol.
Meanwhile the Goodwills down in Cincinnati are HOT. TRASH. Overpriced everything.
I've had the best results at Goodwills around Louisville, Kentucky. Super nice employees, great stuff, and good prices. lol.
I had a feeling it was red ringed. In my experience I’ve seen it where a 360 red rings when it was probably a few years old, and the owner puts it away and it sits until the owner finds it again and gets rid of it. The low amount of usage explains why the usb door was still intact. And it was made before Late Falcon, anything before that are the common red ringers.
I hadn't used my 360 for like over 10 years n plugged it in last week. Works like a charm.
what is late falcon?
@@onehitwonder4470 2008 July- 2008 October right before jaspers appear in stores in November
Falcons re actually just as reliable as earlier jaspers if taken care of and not beat up
@@ryanabarca8616 he means a lot of people who got red ringed of death put their consoles away. Not that everyone who puts their consoles away have red ring of death.
Goodwill used to be a good place to get good deals. I used to spend a couple thousand a year before COVID. Now everything is overpriced.
Same here
I'm still cheap bro, buy me if ya like
Dang! Exactly what I was gonna say! I use to buy VCR's for like $4-$6, now $12-$15. Receivers $8-$10, now $20-$40. However, they were not priced by brands. The better brands were not priced any higher than the trash brands. Before covid there was some room to buy things for resell and make a decent profit. Now if its something you are buying for personal use there are still some good deals but if you are looking at reselling it not much room for profit.
Well the red ring of death definitely brings back haunting memories.
They do that a lot at flea markets here wrap a console in some plastic wrap and they say it’s new lol
😂😂 so messed up
lol I'm surprised Goodwill actually sent you one. I got lucky and bought one from a guy on the street and it actually worked
Me too, got lucky, literally selling it on the sidewalk for like 5 bucks.
Remember when consoles came with all that you needed to play and use? Pepperidge Farm and the Member Berries remember.
“I didn’t pay crazy money for it, i paid 300 bucks for it.” hmmmm lol
One thing you should do is look up the specific Goodwill who shipped it. Some are so bad (the Florida ones have some of the dirtiest systems) and a few are amazing.
Ones in Florida are pretty much shady as heck. I have seen the employees leave with the DVDs and games and the store is left with the pottery and glassware only grandparents buy.
06:52 needs to be an infinite loop 😂
It is possible that they could’ve done this intentionally, maybe they taped the box up
But maybe someone donated it and they just didn’t put the time in to check if it was genuinely sealed
$337 for a broken xbox 360 is definitely what I would call crazy money.
IKR
Exactly 😂
OMG. That System of a Down bit was amazing. xD
Your videos are awesome loved them for years you’ve always had guts to do things like this and have had tons of consoles so this was a treat as always being there’s no limit at all anymore to the odds 😂😂👏🏼
you can fix the red ring permanently by replacing the old gpu heatsink with the newer heatsink.
half the reason the launch edition consoled overheated was a poor heatsink, microsoft replaced the
heatsink with a new one that contained a secondary heatsink and heatpipe.
This is incorrect, flip chip failure from thermal cycles, not bad cooling, caused the red ring of death.
Cooling mods don't help and only make the console louder. Replacing heat sinks make it quieter but won't really lower your temps much.
Thermal paste replacement is necessary though.
@@shanez1215truth. The amount of misinformation is wild
The free demos is the whole reason I got Xbox Live. I got my 360 in 2007 and played offline for 3 years, and then had Xbox Live with no gold for a year just playing demos and messaging friends. Then I went to my cousins house and he had MW2 and Xbox Live Gold. We played that for the entire weekend, only sleeping maybe 4 hours. I had $150 I'd saved up from Christmas and Birthdays and begged my grandma to take me to gamestop the entire week.
She eventually caved and I got MW2 and a year of gold. The rest was history, my childhood consisted of getting home from school and playing COD until I had to go to bed.
I'm not proud of it, but I even took my sisters iPod and sold it to gamestop when staying at a friends house to buy MW3 when it came out. She thought she lost it. I told her a couple years ago now that we're adults and she called me some names but laughed it off.
7:02 Oh man, love that Blaze Dashboard. Old school dude, old school nostalgia.
Yikes, that red ring brought back bad memories, I had like almost 3 360s that had that problem. After getting PS3 (still works today) I never went back to Xbox
That sucks I only had 1 red ring. But Microsoft sent you a new console absolutely free so I didnt lose out on anything but a couple weeks of gaming, Microsoft could've not offered refunds but they did, I remember when the yellow light of death happened w Sony they remained silent and offered nothing and tried sweeping it under the rug I stand by Microsoft. Glad I did cuz the 360 was the best console in my opinion, but honestly I feel like rn Xbox is starting to fall off, which is why I got a PS5 ,back than Xbox live was the superior service, now they are pretty much tied , but I prefer PS cuz I'm sick of ads on my dashboard on series S, playstation is definitely a GAME CONSOLE whereas Xbox is more of an entertainment console .
Xbox definitely straying far from what they used to be
I dont think it was a scam. Goodwill just doesnt know what half of the stuff that comes across their doorstep is. I once got a perfectly working white Destiny Limited Edition PS4 console for $18 because they thought it was a DVD player and labeled it as such.
Man paid $330 for a $20 old used console
I 100% know they look up everything. They know it is not new.
Remember kids, always confirm the Power Brick included is the proper voltage.
Also check if there is a disc inside while its on before you raise it up or tilt it.
Sad you had this dilemma, I bought 2 from the Goodwill for 12.99 and the other two for 9.99 and head better luck. No issues but had to get power supplies that ended up costing more than the consoles themselves.
But before anything , make sure to not buy junk like this. For 300 bucks you can get an Xbox Series S instead Kids.
These videos are great, keep uploading more Goodwill console videos.
Got Chibi-robo for 95$…I was shocked on arrival because the disc was flawless as if never played and the case seemed new with at least 3 to 4 small scratches and no signs of age. Of course in classic fashion the manual was missing but oddly enough the other documents you find in the game case remained! All together it was in mint condition COMPARED to the previous copy i owned as a kid which i bought from Gamestop.
fuggin love that game/ The Gamecube one right, not the DS?
@@southpark159753 yes the gamecube version. I got extremely lucky at goodwill.
The System of a Down reference killed me. 🤣 So funny.
I couldn't let a nice table like that go to waste.
*table*
Keep up the 360 videos haha. Never gets old!! Great channel brother
I’ve subscribed for years now, and all of a sudden I see all these unboxing videos published 1 month ago. You must have done tons of unboxings in December
As far as Demos go i feel like PS1 when pizza places were giving out demo discs with every pizza was the Golden Age. Demo discs from either Dominoes or Pizza Hut are where i first played Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider 2 & Parappa The Rapper.
“You rUnied my free toy!!!” Sponge bob square pants
Omg nah ion think yaw realize how close of skrew up that was 😂 6:45
Recently You've made so many videos about you buying something from goodwill. I think you're addicted to buying things from goodwill.
Man, it’s like those numbnut sellers on EBay assuring the item is new and sealed when the pictures they provided are as clear as day clearly shows the items OUTSIDE of the package. So it is certainly NOT sealed, and 100% used.
Loved demos as a kid, Cloning Clyde was a highlight. Kingdom for Keflings was awesome as well
Jacob keeps buying from goodwill no wonder they’re still up and running 😂
He's keeping them in business just like Gamestop.
Could you make a video of what happens when you try to play newer Xbox 360 games that were released for the Slim 2010, and Elite 2013 on the Xbox 360 console with Blades Dashboard
I played so many demos on the 360 back in the day it’s honestly crazy.
Bro that HD has Marble Blast Ultra…the absolute best marble game ever made
Imagine that poor family that could have been swindled by goodwill for 300 bucks thinking they’re getting a sealed xbox
If you thought Goodwill had sealed Xbox consoles 🤣
NIOB probably meant "Not In Original Box" too
Marble Blast Ultra on 360 was an amazing game, It's awesome that it's on that console!
When i use to work at goodwill alot of the people ( Mostly managers priced highly priced items ) who price the things have absolutely no idea what they are doing. they just price it from how they see it or what they think it is like. Especially consoles Or Eletronics.
“I didnt pay crAzy money for this”
337 Literally 50 bucks away from a PS4 😂
Goodwill is like gamestop sometimes it's like why did I buy this junk lol
Bro not even 30 seconds in I knew you got scammed!! 😂😂
I remember wrapping my 360 in a towel, it worked for a little bit longer surprisingly. Ahhh, the good ol days of gaming.
Naaahhhhh😂them cords sent me 🛼 lmao 1:30
In the words of Scott the Woz "what did you get it wet and try to dry it off with a saw?"
I’m surprised anyone was even able to watch this video with an ad playing every 30 seconds
Goodwill ❎
Badwill ✅
skate demo and the mirrors edge demo went hard AF.
I'd bet the system didn't even match the box since forza and ultimate alliance didn't have save data on the hdd.
I saw this Xbox on goodwill and thought about bidding on it. I right choice not to I guess.
Jeez I have a working 360 I got from goodwill for $40. Disk tray struggles sometimes but persistence gets it open. At least it doesn’t have RRoD. I can’t believe people are spending $300 on a broken 360. I need to hold on to mine I think I got value here lol. It’ll be the family heirloom.
There wasn't even a table in the box either 😂
I played so many demos on the 360. My favorite being the cliffhanger mission in MW2
Played the demos on PS1 but on PS2 I had a side hustle in high school and could afford any game I wanted
Another one? I mean awesome video dude
I bought a brand new Xbox one from a guy at work back in 2015. I don't think I even opened the box. Maybe I'll sell it to this dude in 10 more years
Oof. The first RRoD on your channel that I know of just happens to be on a supposed "new" console
My wife works in the mental health field, and she works with our regional Goodwills a lot. And she said that a lot of the Goodwill auction sites are run by regular Goodwill employees, a lot of whom have mental health impairments... That is a pretty good explanation for this listing being totally incorrect, BUT, I don't think Goodwill should just leave this kind of stuff to just anyone, especially since they are asking TOP market prices for this stuff..
I did play alot of demos and indie games on the 360 back in the day, good times
That's why you always got to check things before you buy.
Check the goodwill website for yourself. Low res photos, bad descriptions, etc. very easy to be misled. There was no way for me to know this wasn’t going to be brand new.
Red Ring of Death PTSD haunts me to this day.
My initial thought would be “NIOB” when buying from a second hand store like goodwill that gets all its products through donation it stood for “NOT in original box” but idk that’s just me lol
dunno why you'd believe what goodwill tells ya
I got 12 brand new Xbox 360 consoles bought each for $30 each
NOIB - here in the UK, is usually referred to as "Not in Original Box"
Good thing you were able to return it
Man I thought this dude was Deacon from Days Gone when I first seen him 😂
Still a great video bro sorry that happened to you! I've have some good luck when buying something from goodwill on ebay, but what happened to you that's crazy they did that!!
I went to to goodwill once my brother wanted a xbox 360 controller we payed it we test it out and the joystick kinda drifts for a moment but still works
$300 for this... 💀
I loved playing demos because they let you try it first before buying
$300 is crazy money for a 360
Definitely
for this one, yes. not for a sealed 360 in 2022.
How Come you manage to get such Bad conditions consoles at a premium lately? At this rate it might be a setup 🤣
I just happened to make all the scammy videos at the same time lol
Most people would have a Bio that would say “Im a Boss or something”
YeahImaBoss413 is signed on to say, that’s accurate ! Lol 😂
I'm so tempted to buy from goodwill but after watching your videos I think I will stick with buying from GameStop.
You can find stuff on goodwill that is actually tested now, but it sells for so much that it’s not worth buying from goodwill. Just buy on ebay
Everything I've bought from goodwill has been decent except for some cases with broken plastic on parts you couldn't see in the pictures. If you buy something you don't like just open a return.
Skip the established shops and go Ebay or go to conventions.
Your videos kept coming up on my recommendations and I finally decided to check u out and I am pleasantly surprised :)
Buying an Xbox 360 at goodwill, at 3AM, gone sexual
Yeah yes sir I did play demos on the 360 I still do this day amazing videos by the way I love it
that debug led trick blew my mind. i didnt know that was a feature LOL
I dont care what the description says - you see that box you KNOW its RROD time!
That is by far the biggest scam I’ve ever seen. That is the first time I think I’ve ever seen the 3 light RROD
Bro red ring of death dam rip $300
Feeding Frenzy! What a score 😂
I bought A 360 at a game store for 80$ HDMI And controller included!
That really did go wrong lol.
less than 5 cents of each dollar you give to goodwill is donated, the MAJORITY goes to the CEO and the owner
3:01, why did the editor feel the need to do that i guess the editor likes system of a down or tables
You could have guessed it would go wrong just by the look of the packaging on the picture... but did you really purchase it without afterthoughts? I wouldn't bet on that.
Jacob u finally started recording new 360 vids and i like that.Thanks Jacob for another great 360 vid.
To be honest, In the pics where you bought it, you can see the original seal was missing, that would have been my 1st red flag.
At least you got a console and not a brick or a rock.
