![The Rip-Off That is DKOldies [RANT]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xq2Xa4niMKY/mqdefault.jpg)
DK oldies has always had me raising an eyebrow. I recently bought a refurbished Wii for $75 from Walmart and a ps2 for $150/200. A reasonable price, since it came with all the cords and original controllers. Both products were damn near pristine as well. Unlike these snake oil salesmen. Sheesh lol. I'm glad they're getting called out. I'm all about supporting local and small businesses but they really price gouge their products.
I still have my dreamcast vmu and controllers and they still look in brand new condition I had it since 2002 hehe I won't ever sale it though but whatever price I give it would be worth the money BUT I'm not sure if it works I HOPE it does I mean it should it just hasn't been turned on for many years ugh
@@tails_the_god oh man the Dreamcast is so very near and dear to my heart!! I first played Resident Evil: Code Veronica on it and that game was everything to me lol. I spent so many long hours grinding through that game. That start up sound 👌! Lol hopefully yours is still in working order, that's sensational you still have it in your possession! I stupidly let my younger sibling have mine and took the n64 instead. I regret that lol. Hang on to it!!!
@@tails_the_god I just realized u said vmu that's even BETTER lol 😆 it was truly ahead of it's time!! I still have my old Gameboy from 99 I think. Oh man this just took me so far back down memory lane. They just don't make em like they used to!!
@@thewisconsinfiles yup I have it's phone cable too I even have a gameboy camera with the printer and unopened paper XD
I appreciate that this channel is mature and intelligent enough not to be screaming scam every other word. It is a rip off, but not a scam. Plus no, generally speaking it is not illegal in most states to overcharge for something. There are a couple of states which do have laws, but we are talking like they would probably have to be charging 1k or more over the value for it to even have a chance of standing up in court.
Rich unfortunately got a few things wrong, such as saying the screws on the bottom of the NES were not the original ones (front loading NES consoles did have Phillips screws in the bottom by default). But it's inexcusable that such an expensive console would have a chip out of the front. Plus it's clear that they don't refurbish everything as they say they do. Great video!
I don't think the original Nintendo had regular screws instead it had security bit screws. Would they change the screws yes they would because they would take the original screws off the system to put it on a nicer COSMETIC SYSTEM to sell for more money.
I've been working on my own Nintendo systems since the early 90s and they were all the ones I got brand new in the box and they were all Phillips head screws
@@edwardwaits7172 My snes, gamecube, and n64 all share the special nintendo screws, are you in the U.S? I wonder if their diffrent over seas, but everything before the wii uses first party screws
@@theglassarrow_ yeah I'm in the USA I've been tightening my pins and cleaning my NES since I was a kid and never needed a special screwdriver
Yeah I was surprised nobody in the comments mentioned that when I saw the original video so I commented about it there too. But yeah exactly, the original NES did use phillips head screws. The games however did use the special game bit screws.
Not only were those CRTs insanely heavy, but many of them were sharp on the bottom, too! Making it an absolute nightmare to lift them. LOL
Yeah,I carried a 32 inch wide-screen CRT TV alone about half a mile to my mother's friend's house I was fucked after ☠️would have been easier to carry a tumbler dryer a mile 😂
That is so true. But it's still worth having a working one when you play classic consoles.
Oh my god yes, I thought it was just me who found them sharp at the bottom, nobody ever mentions it, people always mention how they're heavy but never how they're sharp
@@TheGingerburger I bought a 30 inch , 1080i , widescreen CRT new back in the day and it was all that I could do to get that huge box in the door by myself . I had to buy a special TV stand for it that was rated at 200 pounds because my other one sounded like it was going to implode when I tested the weight of the beast on it .
I was thinking about ordering an N64 or GameCube from DK but I couldn’t bring myself to pay what they wanted for them! Absolutely insane. Goodwill’s website has become almost the same, prices used to be low but now that more people have found out about it the prices in their auctions have skyrocketed! I wouldn’t be surprised if DKoldies gets a lot of their consoles and games from there. I just can’t believe how much people run the price up on stuff, like N64’s for 200-300 bucks. Retro consoles should NOT be more than like $100-$150 tops. Ridiculous.
I used to buy so many vintage radios and fiestaware from Goodwil's website; they were my goto back in 2018/19 and then all of the sudden prices skyrocketed; such a shame, always happens though.
I agree. Now if it's a rare variant of a console, that's a whole other can of worms.
I’ve been a long time sub of RTU since roughly 2010. I remember when he had less than 50k subs. His channel has gone through so many ups and downs but I keep coming back. He’s a good UA-camr and has stayed true to himself through all these years.
He's stayed true to his nipples
if it wasnt for the comments section of dkoldies and the many videos on the topic, a brand new collector like myself would suck the teet of a company like dkoldies. At first i tried being neutral but seeing these videos and watching Riches has just helped me alot to avoid crap like this.
I used to have a Trinitron and it was hella heavy for no reason
Thanks for shouting out rich. Been watching Rich since 2011. Great video.
Any time!
Checking your UA-cam feed while driving is next level dedication 😂
Great job man! I have seen this video by Rich, didn't know who DK oldies was until this week. Personally, I have quite a few retro consoles and have not payed over $50 for any of em. I put the time in and refurbished all my consoles to work adequately, making them presentable.(Factory hardware, correct parts, with care and dedication that DK oldies SHOULD be doing)
Keep up the great work man...
The NES always used Phillips screws I don't know what Rich is on about. The security bit was used on the SNES up but not on the NES
I think Rich meant that they didn't use the proprietary screws. The replacement screws they used is too long.
Well technically Japanese Industry Standard head screws which have a slightly different angle to the slot than Phillips head screws but for all intents and purposes a JIS and a Phillips is pretty much the same thing
These prices are insane and for the condition you get! I had never heard of DKOldies until you talked about them and I am somewhat glad!
DKOldies somehow lost my 13 +yo Wii went I sent it in for a very specific repair that I believed they could only do (at least with who was available at the time). They sent me a bad Wii, I sent it back, and they would not let me get anything but another Wii. I made a 30 minute video detailing the loss of my childhood Wii, and by the end of it all, they still owe me a functioning Wii (or something of similar value).
Wow
I gotta say man thank you for making this video. Really glad I just discovered your channel you’re very chill, natural and comfortable on camera and you can just tell you’re very knowledgeable on tech. New sub here! Please keep going you have some great potential!!
You should compare DKoldies to eStarland like you did with Lukie games. eStarland is also an online video game store. Would just be interesting to see.
Good idea 👍🏼 😊
That whole setup he got should have only cost 20 bucks.
DkOldies is a scam.
To clarify, the old nes models DID use Phillips head screws. When I was 12 during my summer vacation I earned money by fixing many nes consoles and cleaning games and all I needed was a Phillips head screwdriver to pull the teeth out, clean and boil them.
On the plus side, Carlos is back. Can we all stop for a minute and appreciate that.
First! Also dk oldies is very much a scam
I wouldnt call them a "scam" you get a physical product from them. Price gouging. Absolutely. Scam. Not really
@@redneckreviews3016 exactly
Warranty stickers are illegal in the US.
And Europe
I buy my games from eBay, flea markets and thrift stores and they always look like new. My GameCube is silver with the HD port and had a black GB player attach to it with a matching controller all looks like new for 25$ at a thrift store.
20:54 why I don't understand is why didn't he put the game he just cleaned or put the game he said was dirty and the NES before cleaning it it doesn't make sense though when I put a cartridge in to test if it works I don't put a different cartridge in first especially if you already know how the NES it's supposed to be functioning
If I had a NES that had a chipped corner like that I'd consider it broken and would sell it for no more than £5
That's a lie. Everything in working order and you consider it "broken" because of a small cosmetic flaw?
That stuff lowers it's value, but it's not broken.
@@danross1038 well we all have different standards,if you had a coffee cup with a chip missing from the rim but you could still drink out of it wouldn't you agree that the cup is broken??😂
@@danross1038 nobody who is a collector would buy one with a chip
They'd see it on ebay and pass. You couldn't give away a chipped nes. Trust me, I've tried
@Rusty Shackleford I agree it would be a hard sell, but the console isn't "broken". But idk who would buy a nes these days besides collectors so you're probably right.
Congrats on 1k 🥳 you deserve it
Thank you so much!!
Main problem is that "gamers" are some of the most easiest people I've seen to get manipulated by others. Doesn't give them the right to take advantage of others but still happens because many won't listen to reason or fact. Same goes on today as well with gamers defending broken and unfinished games yet they still support these corrupt gaming companies that keep doing it year after year!
Hopefully videos like this will help others to make informative decisions when spending large amounts of money on nostalgia.
Anyone who has a problem with dkoldies you can report them to the BBB. This will get you your money back and will give them a bad rep.
Super glad I found this channel recently. This whole thing has been very fascinating and I'm loving your content
Me and my friend carried a Sony BVM-D24E1WE to my place last year. A dream monitor indeed, but boy was it heavy. Actually ended up selling it because the god damn thing was so big and heavy I couldn't really make it work in my gaming set up. Settled with a 20 inch PVM instead. Crt's are great and all but it's a small workout moving them. I can't even imagine carrying a 36 inch. Must be a living hell.
Am i wrong here, i'm pretty sure the nes uses all phillips screws on nes consoles. The rest is terrible though, not clean, missing screws etc.
9:28 at around Christmas of last year, I went to a garage sale down my street which had this giant Toshiba crt in the front lawn labelled "free". Thinking it wasn't that heavy, I took it and tried to carry it all the way up the hill to my house. I got one house down until I became tired, and some nice ladies noticed and offered me to take it up using their truck. I took the offer and they helped me carry it onto my front lawn. I spent the next hour trying to get it in my garage since it started to rain, and some dude saw me carry it and asked me if I was having a garage sale. Funny story
Jay does some awesome and funny edits for rich.
Rich does speak facts alot 👍
now I know not to order from dkoldies I ALMOST thought about it XD
My dad had a giant 55” crt tv made my Mitsubishi in our living room, I miss that thing. Can’t image how heavy it is 😂
Dude the static electricity would be insane from that TV omg hahaha
DKOldies 💀💀💀
A few years ago I bought an N64 and a controller from my local retro game store for around $80 total (I already had games for it from the last one I owned).
DKOldies is charging $165 for the same thing.
Shit there's one at my local shop that's 90$ that they are asking for. It's guaranteed to come with an oem controller too, UNLIKE DKOLDIES
Yes !! I remember when I move to my new house back in 06. I had 2 big a*s TV a 37 and a 32 inch. It took everything we had to move those dam tv. Thank goodness technology change and we have light tv now. BTW I watched rich video. It's classic!!
I've always been turned off of DKoldies (and similar sites) due to the prices alone, but it doesn't surprise me they make the least effort possible to lower overhead costs and maximize profits.
P.S. A big CRT TV is definitely a beast to move. I got rid of a 36 inch RCA a while ago and replaced it with a 27 inch Sony Trinitron; you still wouldn't want to move it often, but at least I can deadlift it myself and avoid calling in an entire team of friends/family. I just wish it could do more than 480i with its component inputs.
Agreed, I only bought 1 thing from them but I’ve learned my lesson.
I exclusively only use Ebay & Amazon for retro collecting now.
@@ProWrestlingFan1995 ebay for retro for me and amazon for newer or pre order like items I will only buy from oldies if I really want a specfic item and they where the only ones selling it and it would really need to be something that I really really wanted because those prices are insane
25:02 damn bro predicted the future, he knew them screws were gonna fuck it up 😂
But the original NES console did use Japanese Industry Standard head screws which are pretty much Phillips head screws,also some of the early NES cartridges that have 5 screws holding them together used JIS screws until they change the cartridges to be held together with 3 Game bit screws, Nintendo didn't start using Game bit screws on the console itself till the SNES
Oh rich is goated man haha been watchin him since like 2014. Btw im lovin the channel dude. Much love from brooklyn ny 🤘🏻
Thank you brotha! 😊
My friend and I picked up a giant ass tv for his retro set up too. That thing was ridiculously heavy.
He should of bought mine for 50 all the games controllers and AV cables u can handle
Rich has been around for so long he remembers when rocks were soft
And still lives with his mommy and daddy
My parents have a zenith in their basement and they won't get rid of it because the two afraid that if someone tries to remove it though hurt their back and sue them. I'd love to take it back to my place just to try it out but I don't know how. Also I live on the second floor.
I agree with most of what you said. Like Rich not needing clout etc.
But the whole "Rich is well respected" thing?
Yeah, not so much.
I watched this video yesterday on ReciewTech’s channel. I love his videos because he’s so truthful to his viewers. Not many people are like that.
Your channel is blowing up dude! Congrats!
Thank you so much 😊
LOL $300 for a NES...there is a CIB action set on eBay for $269. (I get that he bought it for the show, I'm more laughing at DKO for thinking that's an acceptable asking price.) Why would they change the screws, that seems like an extra cost for DKO. Regardless you can crack the plastic posts if you are using the wrong screws. ALSO...what are they doing with the original screws?
The NES console did actually use Japanese Industry Standard head screws which are pretty much Phillips head screws but they're supposed to be just hand tight and if you crank down on them you can break the posts like you said or just wear the holes out so the screws have nothing to bite into
Just noticed the company is an hour away from me, I might go visit lol. Good video!
I just came across your channel. I really appreciate what you have to say. Also glad you are covering this. Not because I hate dk oldies but because people deserve better. Gladly subscribe
Warranty void if removed stickers are illegal now
You definitely earned me as a new Sub. Love what you do. I’ll watch any retro, or current gen, gaming vids you create. Godspeed to your channel.
That part about the screws is funny asF Haha!!!!🤣🤣🤣 😤Had to rewind that a few times... LMAO 🤣
Thank you rect, amazing as always
That nes looks like it fell down the stairs before they shipped it out
I bought a n64 from them and they sent a 3rd party power brick that smells like its burning luckily that was the only problem.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is the federal law that governs consumer product warranties. Passed by Congress in 1975, the Act requires warrantors of consumer products to provide consumers with detailed information about warranty coverage.
hey man, just wanted to say awesome video/videos! I found you through your first ever DKOldies video and I was hugely surprised and shocked at what I was seeing but I absolutely love the way you discussed it and were probably the most fair and controlled review I’ve seen to date. you’ve definitely earned my sub man, keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much that means a lot. I really do try to be fair but some companies make it hard
@@RectWizard yeah, I read you there man. I got scammed by the handsome man himself. bought an original Xbox a while back and basically every possible QC failure that could have happened, happened. bad thermal paste, dirt, dust, and dings galore, faulty controller. absolutely atrocious. I certainly appreciate the folks trying to get an honest answer from them, from big to small
Moving a new TV: don’t crack the screen, moving an old TV: don’t crack the floor.
😂 great comment hahaha
Ahhh a fan of Rich...
You just gained a sub my friend
Love rich he’s a great dude 😊
The UA-camr Jacob R recently did a video about him getting an Xbox 360 from them and he had a similar experience to this.
This video is backwards for me, I already followed that channel and now this one
That’s crazy. I still have mine since it was released and used the system a lot. Mine looks better than that one. Great video
Still stand by my original comment. If something is to expensive gain a wrinkle on your brain and buy from somewhere else. If it’s not DK it will be another business/site that will upcharge and over price things to hell and back.
IF they did their job properly this wouldn’t be a problem.
Example: Switch repair
Thermal paste $10.70
Power IC $11.99
Hot air station used $47.61
Solder wick $4.99
7” digital microscope $109.99
Capton tape $4.99
$190.27 with out tax and shipping
That’s just what it would cost me to repair my original Nintendo Switch. And I know how to do the work. Imagine someone buying a used system paying for everything to repair it and breaking it then the cost would go up even more.
Chill the F out people and just don’t buy a system from them. 🤦♀️
Congratulations on getting partnered on UA-cam amazing well earned brother!
Thank you dude!!!!
DkO which stands for Dirty Knock Offs!
So the one things that most people don't realize is DK oldies started off as an eBay seller which they still are but if they don't have a specific item in stock and you order it they will go on eBay purchase the system or item that the person has ordered and has it where the shipment label is to that person how do I know this I have a buddy of mine along with me who is a reseller and has had this happen multiple times where he was selling like a PS2 for like $75 on eBay and they would buy it have it where he has to use a specific label that states it's coming from them to ship it out
Time for a class action lawsuit
In Europe not even the console manufacturers can void your warranty for removing a sticker FFS ☠️
Yeah. I got one Panasonic crt flat screen for playing PS1 games. Sure its heavy to move from ground to first floor using stairs.
His disappointment face should be a meme when ordering dkoldies
Rich himself isn't clean, he's known for scamming too.
I hated how heavy old CRT tvs were to lift and move around because I used to have a old heavy CRT tv
dude I love your videos. you crack me the hell up
I found re3 on Dreamcast complete for 80 on eBay and I bought I looked on dk oldies and they wanted 130 for the same thing ya I’ll definitely stick to eBay
My friend ordered a PS2 Console and copy of Sonic Riders and Simpson's Hit And Run last year in September when he got the order the Console didn't work or turn on and both discs were completely scratched. After all of that he contacted the customer support team and hasn't heard back since
He sacrificed himself to save us from being robbed
Twice 😂
Awesome videos mate, keep up the good work
Thank you so much! ❤
I’d like to have that OG game boy on his desk.
Hey I'm a Normie. Before this I'd figure their prices were normal, I just could never afford them and never bought anything but now I know there's cheaper prices.
I've been a fan of Rich for years as well; just found your channel; great video, subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
the thing i don't like is that they don't show a picture of an item if its a game in black label case manual on a game
I was legit Gonna give DK Oldies a pass due to them being a "Family Business" but yeah, there's no excuse for this :/
What type of Camera u have mr.wizard and congrats on your 1k subscribers
Thank you so so much! 😊 I use a Sony A6000 mirrorless camera 😊
I like your video. I hope you hit your subscriber goal. For future videos if you want to monetize you have to eliminate all swearing. UA-cam passed a new rule that any video with swearing will be demonetized, including old videos. Just to help you out. Again thanks for the video.
I would've been screwed. I wouldn't have a 3rd friend to call to help me move that TV.
32" Wide-screen Sony Trinitron I sold last year due to it's size. I want to get a smaller sized one for my Megadrive/Genesis
This is rough especially when local game stores are way cheaper and on top of that don't use nothing other than OEM parts to repair systems and dk oldies is an old retro store been around for years especially on eBay and you would think they would do right.
Note- the element 32 inch lcd has av ports. I use it strictly for "retro" consoles.
Get one.
I only wish that he had went ahead and opened the controller too. For the outer shell to look like it did, I'm sure the inside was either dirty or had torn membranes if it wasn't working well. Just a crazy price for an average condition NES with one of the cheapest and low quality 3rd party power supplies out there.
I cant completely hate on these companies though. For every buyer on Dkoldies, that's one less competitive bidder to deal with on eBay. If someone is willing to pay $300 for an NES and two marios, then they are pretty likely to outbid me on an auction lol.
This is deplorable
I got the over price vibe after watching a double jump employee video skit
We don’t have to be assholes to them just don’t buy anything from them and they will disappear.
One thing I could say about cartridge pins because too many people will blow into the cartridges no matter how many times you clean them they're always going to be dirty because people in the eighties instead of actually learning how to clean cartridges properly date all just decided to blow into the cartridge ruining the pins that's not DK oldies fault
Thank you for exposing them
Last video on DK Oldies you said they sell professionally cleaned systems, with a warranty, and peace of mind.
That’s what they claim I’ve personally never bought anything from them.
We grew up poor but our mom taught us kids - “ It doesn’t cost money to be clean” . DK Oldies has no excuse for sending Dirty refurbished consoles.
I actually threw away my giant CRT Toshiba - because it malfunctioned - and it broke my little pulley cart from the massive weight.
CRT's are absolutely ridiculous as far as weight is concerned. It's not just the weight. Its the fact that all of the weight is in the front toward the glass screen. Even small ones are a pain to lug around. I have a 27 inch trinitron that I love, but god damn if I have to move it!
I am a youtube partner soi I understand how hard it would be these days to get there. I subbed :D been a youtube partner though from 2008 though :D
I actually have 2 trinitrons in my room. One is manufactured 2003 and the other is an older model 1994. The older model i shit you not is heavier. I want to say it's topping 220 pounds to 240. The 1994 model was given to me by my boss at work and the other i found it on a curb from a fancy rich neighborhood.
not all old skool products are garbage, actually there gameboy player controller replica is actually pretty damn good
