How does a console even get scratched? It just sits on a TV stand or desk, quietly collecting dust like it’s in a low-effort retirement plan. Even if you open it up to clean the inside, the top shouldn’t be that scratched.
Some kids myself included, had to move houses a lot growing up or were split between parents so consoles got moved LOTS. Mine was moved almost monthly splitting time between mom and dad’s place so my PS3 had some scratches come the end of its life. None as bad as that but there was a decent one that was close
Honestly surprised they're actually doing refurbishing properly now. Though, now they gotta work on actually sending the correct systems, in the correct condition, AND packing properly. Just... honestly astonished they replaced thermal paste for once.

My coworkers kids bought him an nes from DK. It doesn't read games. And to take the games you pretty much need a pair of pliers to get them out. They go in super tight.
Green light of death happens a lot after damage dropped or shipping most times you can’t fix because it lifts the cell from the board damaged traces under the chip
...or we could make a yearly video seeing what changes they've made, if any, like I did for year 1 and now for year 2. How is that a hard concept to understand lol?
I was literally going to order from them a few years ago and right before I did, UA-cam recommended your videos. Thank GOD I watched them first. It's Utterly ridiculous.
I still have my launch day 60gb PS3, upgraded to 500gb many years ago. I just recently took it to a shop to get new thermal paste on it. The dude said he almost wanted to wait a couple days to call me because I have so many cool games on it. He also said he has never seen a cleaner PS3. My heart is very sad about that system. I bought a GameCube from DK, and it was in ok condition. I modded the heck out of it, and when it was opened, we found it was missing a lot of screws.
Just in case you don't know (you might already, but just in case) If you ever decide to upgrade it again, it cannot hold a drive larger than 1TB. It will not even run, and it will tell you to change the drive. I found out the hard way when I tried to install a 4TB drive to be able to download everything from my list. SSDs are still worthwile to use as they slightly speed up the console, and they are much cheaper now.
I put hybrid-SSD’s (Seagate spinning disks with an SSD cache) in both my launch PS4 and PS4 Pro as soon as they arrived. That is another option, if they still make them!
as soon as I saw the bubblewrap and how it barely had any paddding it's so likely for some bs to happen, I used to work at the UPS store and I'd most likely have gotten fired if I wrapped up a nearly $500 product like that, they need to learn how to better pack their stuff.
I've seen their Tiktoks and every console gets maybe 3 layers of bubble max and controllers don't even get fully wrapped sometimes. Plus they stuff so much into one box without any separation bc they're cheap and can't separate them properly
That's a bog standard included controller with the PS3 from day 1. It's often the rarer colors that are knocked off with unofficial internals. Happened to me on ebay with clear blue.
Back a few months ago one of DKOldies shorts came across my page (one about rare consoles) and I had commented that why should I trust them when they destroyed an iQue GBA cause they thought it was fake. Only for them to realize that it indeed was a true GBA. One of their people had responded to me in saying something like “that was our past we have changed”. 😂
I almost bought a Nintendo 64 from these clowns. I found a better deal N64 on eBay before I bought the DKO one, and I'm thankful that happened. Thanks to these videos I was able to warn my personal trainer before he made the same mistake I almost did.
It’s amazing to me how different experiences are. I saw Retro Rebound make a video just like this and what he got was in pretty decent condition. The stark contrast between the condition of what he got and what you got is crazy.
I dunno why anyone buys from them... They've always been overpriced, not even considering all the other stuff. Taking the time and manpower to actually refurbish these consoles properly would cut into their profits... All about them sweet, sweet profits! 📈📈
Unfortunately the cost to have proper restoration work done would probably make them even more expensive if they wanted to make a profit on each console.
@JackMoynihanOfficial All they really need to do is test & do some basic cleaning on them. People would buy them anyway. The problem is them claiming that they are selling refurbs in the first place, which is dishonest and completely unnecessary to begin with. Ppl would buy them regardless if they know that the systems have been fully tested & cleaned.
You should make a video trying to get your money back for that PlayStation 3 because they screwed it up with the shipping. I'd really like to see how their customer service works.
I've shipped consoles cross country for repair many times. They all arrive in good condition because I use way too much bubble wrap on the console it self and then I use packing paper as an additional layer between the box and the bubble wrap. I always assume that it will be mistreated during shipping so I put extra care into the packing.
I'm shocked DK is even still in business. If they sent me the wrong console, and worse it was damaged (which they'll probably try to use to screw you out of a refund), I'd be chargebacking them instead and reporting their business to the state they operate in.
Tbh, the PS3 damage was probably shippers fault for dropping it, but should of been packed a little better, and the other two consoles from just looks didn't look too bad, so possibility of them getting better or maybe coincidence?
I mean regardless of the condition of the ps3, they sent me the wrong ps3 lol. And a cracked ps4. The 360 was good. So I guess 1/3 things being good is an upgrade for them.
"Guize DKOldies is such a scam thats why I've bought like 30 consoles from them now guize" not defending DKOldies at all but geez dude you're keeping them in business
I bought a PS3 phat backwards compatible model (hardware based no emulation software based) back in 08 with a bad Blu-ray drive for like $120. I refurbished the console myself (it's pretty much a specialized computer, I'm an IT guy, it's like Legos for adults). Bought a new blu ray drive for $38, upgraded the internal psu (another 35$) to a cooler running model (been 16 years so the specific part number escapes me at the moment), redid the thermal paste with artic silver, soft modded it, been running beautifully since then. I even threw a 500gb ssd in it (overkill, PS3 can't use full benefits of a ssd but it's less heat)
YES BC fat PS3s specifically the 20gb and 60gb are worth that if not more because they are the ONLY BC PS3s that actually have the PS2 guts inside. The only other BC PS3 was the 80gb that was only about 64% BC
@@lutherheggs451 yeah mine was a busted 60gb model. Busted only because of the Blu-ray drive been shot, easy fix overall, but figured if I'm opening it up, I'm going through every pain point and addressing. 😊

@@jrob0021I think all the black Xbox 360 Classic ones were jasper boards and your right there wasn't a 60gb 360 Elite they had a matching black 120gb drive.

How is it despite being exposed a few years ago, people still buy things from them? If this was already done within America/Canada, imagine the state it'd be if this was sent overseas. I had a few buddies trying to buy things from DKOldies that wouldn't mind shipping price that I had to call a stop because of videos like these.

I bought a GameCube from DK, and it was in ok condition. I modded the heck out of it, and when it was opened, we found it was missing a lot of screws.
Just in case you don't know (you might already, but just in case)
If you ever decide to upgrade it again, it cannot hold a drive larger than 1TB. It will not even run, and it will tell you to change the drive. I found out the hard way when I tried to install a 4TB drive to be able to download everything from my list.
SSDs are still worthwile to use as they slightly speed up the console, and they are much cheaper now.
I put hybrid-SSD’s (Seagate spinning disks with an SSD cache) in both my launch PS4 and PS4 Pro as soon as they arrived. That is another option, if they still make them!
I still have my ps3 slim and never had to take it apart for anything also bought an untested ps2 that has its issues but it works and was only $50
Was waiting for something like this. Thanks!
I still don’t understand why dkoldies won’t clean the Xbox’s, PlayStations and Nintendo consoles? They need to clean the consoles.
as soon as I saw the bubblewrap and how it barely had any paddding it's so likely for some bs to happen, I used to work at the UPS store and I'd most likely have gotten fired if I wrapped up a nearly $500 product like that, they need to learn how to better pack their stuff.
$480 for a PS3 when a current gen PS5 is the same price is crazy
It's actually cheaper to get a PS5 if you get the cobalt slim ps5
Backwards compatible PS3 are kinda expensive in general now
I've seen their Tiktoks and every console gets maybe 3 layers of bubble max and controllers don't even get fully wrapped sometimes. Plus they stuff so much into one box without any separation bc they're cheap and can't separate them properly
Wow DKO now has the first ever unit they have ever refurbished!
2 years later and I still love watching DKO videos
0:30 looks like one of the fake ps3 controllers
How so?
That looks like an official duelshock 3 controller
You’ve never had one then
That's a bog standard included controller with the PS3 from day 1. It's often the rarer colors that are knocked off with unofficial internals. Happened to me on ebay with clear blue.
Its definitely not fake I have an offical one and one of those Chinese knockoffs and all the little details are fine
The smile in the thumbnail is demonic the dudes is litteraly saying your wallet is mine
When I was scrolling through UA-cam my brain said "DKOldies" and this came up 😂 what is the coincidence
UA-cam is reading your mind
@@jrob0021they always are
Back a few months ago one of DKOldies shorts came across my page (one about rare consoles) and I had commented that why should I trust them when they destroyed an iQue GBA cause they thought it was fake. Only for them to realize that it indeed was a true GBA. One of their people had responded to me in saying something like “that was our past we have changed”. 😂
Im convinced DKOldies is a business front for something at this point 😂
I almost bought a Nintendo 64 from these clowns. I found a better deal N64 on eBay before I bought the DKO one, and I'm thankful that happened. Thanks to these videos I was able to warn my personal trainer before he made the same mistake I almost did.
We need to run them out of business
It’s amazing to me how different experiences are. I saw Retro Rebound make a video just like this and what he got was in pretty decent condition. The stark contrast between the condition of what he got and what you got is crazy.
500 bucks for a PS3 in even perfect condition is insane.
Backwards compatibility PS3 are kinda expensive in general
DKO is just plain horrible. Thanks for spreading awareness. Hopefully one day they go under for good.
8:56 have you never seen a new physical game before? 🤣
That's not the way games are wrapped, you would see creses on the sides on the top and bottom.
Lmao, quote Pat Contri the game was SEALED
Hey, I'm a huge fan. I started watching ur vids a couple months ago and just wanted to say that ur vids are cool! :)
The ps4 was in good condition based on their description I think you are nitpicking too much on that but the ps3 was very bad for sure
Thanks for making this video. I was wondering about them
I dunno why anyone buys from them... They've always been overpriced, not even considering all the other stuff.
Taking the time and manpower to actually refurbish these consoles properly would cut into their profits... All about them sweet, sweet profits! 📈📈
Unfortunately the cost to have proper restoration work done would probably make them even more expensive if they wanted to make a profit on each console.
@JackMoynihanOfficial All they really need to do is test & do some basic cleaning on them. People would buy them anyway.
The problem is them claiming that they are selling refurbs in the first place, which is dishonest and completely unnecessary to begin with. Ppl would buy them regardless if they know that the systems have been fully tested & cleaned.
You should make a video trying to get your money back for that PlayStation 3 because they screwed it up with the shipping. I'd really like to see how their customer service works.
The price alone for that PS3 is a scam lol
Yeah, it could be like brand new the price is still too high
You might need to look of the definition of scam.
I've shipped consoles cross country for repair many times. They all arrive in good condition because I use way too much bubble wrap on the console it self and then I use packing paper as an additional layer between the box and the bubble wrap. I always assume that it will be mistreated during shipping so I put extra care into the packing.
This is legitimately insane that they ship consoles like this and think this is acceptable!
I'm shocked DK is even still in business. If they sent me the wrong console, and worse it was damaged (which they'll probably try to use to screw you out of a refund), I'd be chargebacking them instead and reporting their business to the state they operate in.
just got done ordering off DKOldies right before this video..
rip
I feel bad for u
That's on you blud, plenty of information on them out there
you should still be able to cancel the order if its a thing there
Lol
Tbh, i expect no more from those scammers. They haven’t changed anything.
Scammers gon scam. Avoid like the plague.
Tbh, the PS3 damage was probably shippers fault for dropping it, but should of been packed a little better, and the other two consoles from just looks didn't look too bad, so possibility of them getting better or maybe coincidence?
Wrong console and missing screws? Yeah, definite improvement
A couple layers of bubble wrap is absolutely not enough. That's on DKOldies.
@helmutlvx that's what I'm saying 😂
I mean regardless of the condition of the ps3, they sent me the wrong ps3 lol. And a cracked ps4. The 360 was good. So I guess 1/3 things being good is an upgrade for them.
If the PS3 was broken, why did you try powering it up?
"Guize DKOldies is such a scam thats why I've bought like 30 consoles from them now guize" not defending DKOldies at all but geez dude you're keeping them in business
Well these videos get a lot of views which is why he makes them lol
That is not keeping a company running thats far too little money to keep a company running
That glitch in 2019 Ultimate Football is called a "line drive" lol
Hope you returned that ps3 console
For sure going back to them lol
There's a reason consoles are sent with the foam corner guards, goddamn
That playstation probably didn't smell like cigarettes before Joey got his paws on it.
I checked their website a few days ago and they have a lot of consoles in a so called "acceptable" condition... imagine that💀💀💀
You paid $500 for a ps3 fat????!!!!!!!!! 🤦♂️
I bought a PS3 phat backwards compatible model (hardware based no emulation software based) back in 08 with a bad Blu-ray drive for like $120. I refurbished the console myself (it's pretty much a specialized computer, I'm an IT guy, it's like Legos for adults). Bought a new blu ray drive for $38, upgraded the internal psu (another 35$) to a cooler running model (been 16 years so the specific part number escapes me at the moment), redid the thermal paste with artic silver, soft modded it, been running beautifully since then. I even threw a 500gb ssd in it (overkill, PS3 can't use full benefits of a ssd but it's less heat)
YES BC fat PS3s specifically the 20gb and 60gb are worth that if not more because they are the ONLY BC PS3s that actually have the PS2 guts inside. The only other BC PS3 was the 80gb that was only about 64% BC
He makes decent money and is gonna get his money back from vids.
@@lutherheggs451 yeah mine was a busted 60gb model. Busted only because of the Blu-ray drive been shot, easy fix overall, but figured if I'm opening it up, I'm going through every pain point and addressing. 😊
The only thing I can be grateful for from DKOldies was buying warioworld like 10ish years ago before it exploded in price
$500? Local FB market has this for $80 lol Ebay $150.
not for the backwards compatibility
I mean to be fair, $500 is a fair price for a good condition A01 backwards compatible ps3 that is fully refurbished and delidded. But of course that’s not what I got
I got lucky last week and got mine for 25 bucks some lady was selling her son's original PS3 since he went to college I'm picking up a 360 elite this Thursday of her too its got one of those old 360 skins on it of the Texas Tech Raider not a fan of sports anymore but it looks interesting enough to keep it like that.
@@jrob0021I think all the black Xbox 360 Classic ones were jasper boards and your right there wasn't a 60gb 360 Elite they had a matching black 120gb drive.
Only reason I used those memory cards was because I got tired of how long it took to transfer my profile to my friends Xbox 360 when we'd all get together.
Bro is just milking a situation as old as my cousin ☠
if Dkoldies went out of business, he'll go out of business lmao
@@shwaggieXP lol
So the order that they knew went to you was mostly okay, but the order that went somewhere else was awful? Am I understanding that correctly? Lol
ScamKOldies / DKScammies
At this point, after all this time, if anyone buys anything from them then they deserve to be ripped off. It's inconceivable how these people are still in business.
I bet it is
That piece off that ps3 is a piece right off my heart.💔💔
yes…
It is so easy to replace thermal paste, the fact that that counts as refurbishing a console is crazy to me
keep milking it keep crying
You’re an idiot
@@jrob0021 every video you make are negative review that your only content.
You’ve never watched my content if you think I’m negative on everything. Truly just use your brain - criticizing a company for sending me a broken console is being negative? How dense can you be? Seriously
@@jrob0021 i might end up buying console from you and look for any tiny detail and make video
@@SaveTITANFALL you sound like a child
It’s Honestly Amazing How DKs Still In Business I Wonder If They Have Have Any Lawsuits If So How many
First
Saving to not have 5cm at minimum cushion material all around (not bublewrap it sucks) is just not acceptable.
They wouldn't give me a replacement copy even tho i sent them the link of the video Joey said they'd replace. I left bad reviews on all the games I purchased
How is it despite being exposed a few years ago, people still buy things from them? If this was already done within America/Canada, imagine the state it'd be if this was sent overseas. I had a few buddies trying to buy things from DKOldies that wouldn't mind shipping price that I had to call a stop because of videos like these.
That is atrocious, especially at those ridiculous prices. They are charging a premium for used and sometimes even broken consoles that they barely even touch.
I can get these consoles cheaper and in better condition through ebay for bloody sake!!
