Comment below if you’re the one who donated this PS5 to goodwill 🤨
yes sir, will do sir.
may i please have this ps5?
This is definitely a parent punishing their child and following through with the threat of taking the console to goodwill! 😂😂
Goodwill has a contract with Target. They get a ton of new items or store use items. That may have been a store demo that was used for a while, then they were sent a newer one from Sony. Probably why the headphones weren't used, packaging was lost, controller was probably attached and that explains the scratching on the back.
Where did you hear that from?
But how would the crayon get on it? They keep consoles behind acrylic
But if they got it from target it would have been sold in stores.
@@superj2644no, this could’ve been a display model
What about the pricing tho 🗿
Yikes on the price. You're a trooper for doing these videos
Not too long ago, Sony put the Ragnarok bundle on sale for $509. You can either buy a brand new PS5 along with one of the best games of the decade for $509, or you can buy a used console by itself for $628 and I haven't even watched the video yet so I don't know what condition it's in.
That’s a $100 headset tho so not too bad
@@Marcus7339 $100 if it’s new. Goes for like half of that used
Yeah great purchase to make a video on that only has 800 something likes lma
@@spookyo0423 to be fair, it hasn't even been out half a day....
Not worth it period. A new PS5 in 2023 is worth $499, and they available anywhere. No reason to buy a used one for over MSRP.
Exactly
$628 is insane for an untested PS5 regardless if it works or not. I can get a used one right now between $300-$350. I can probably get a new one for $400-$500 as well
Literally 🤦🏻♀️ ! This video hurts ..
I get he’s doing it “for the videos” but he’s literally throwing $300+ dollars away 😬 Jacob I hope you’re writing this off on your taxes as a loss or a “business expense”
It's just in the bragging rights, and ignorance to pay that much for an untested ps5.
He paid full price for a used ps5 and a paid of the headphones
@@JokrB3 it was a used PS5 and used headphones as well. Still not worth the $628
I paid $600 for mine about a year ago. Speaking from my experience here in SoCal. I would never find an in store console. Always out of stock. I ended up going on offer up and paying $600. Money wise it didn’t hurt me. What’s annoying was never being able to find one in store after constantly checking multiple areas for months 🤣
They are now showing up in stores around me pretty frequently now
Yeah all my stores have them in stock around me. Every best buy, GameStop, target, and Walmart had a handful of them sitting on the shelves every time I walk past the PS section.
It’s not uncommon for people to bid on their own items to drive prices up to get people to pay more, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what happened here.
The fact you bought it for 628dollars is just unreal for a ps5 from Britain being 410pounds
Just wanted to say I appreciate that youre selling this system at a reasonable price, so thank you my dude!
I always try to list everything at a reasonable price 👍 People will complain that I buy consoles like this just for a video, but it's really a win-win for everyone. Goodwill gets their money, I get to make a video and make money from the views, and then I re-sell it at a reasonable price so nobody else is paying $628 for a ps5
Don't appreciate him. He made probably thousands off this video. He isn't doing anyone charity. The $630 he paid is nothing in revenue he will make.
@@BreadandFaxesyeah sure dude he is making thousand of dollars from a total of 79k view....
I think they only made it 621$ was because of the markup from the wholesale condition as if you were to add 24% markup it would roughly be 620$ which is like 120$ retail price for Goodwill which is not entirely bad but the price is insane
Coulda atleast resold it
Well for $600, you did get the headphones. I believe their around $100 alone.
Crazy how this used ps5 is better than anything refurbished from DkOldies
right? 😂
You should do some EBAY refurbished consoles. And see if the console is actually refurbished
My local goodwill tests everything they can. The rest goes for cheap with written information about the item's condition.
Honesty since everything works and its like new, the price is about right seeing how you got the $100 headphones too.
yeah but he took the risk that it wouldn't be fine, so probably shouldn't have cost as much or more than what it would have cost brand new lol
@@halla8083 its only because they bid on it , it was a great deal before bidding went up
i salute you to almost always open up consoles and show us the insides and presumably build them back together i couldn’t ever do that myself
kind of scared to put in a new ssd in my ps5 slim or change the face plates 😅
Price seems fine at first glance, given the fact that there's the Pulse3D included.
It's nice when someone gives their console to goodwill but for goodwill to price it at that, sheesh! You're a real one to purchase it. And also, what do you do with all these consoles you purchase? Do you give them away for free, resale or returns??
Good thing i bought mine for 800€ and came completely fine without a problem 💀
Here in Australia we pay $700 for brand new PS5.
Sad but true, I paid more than that for my PS5 from a seller on Walmart. 😢 I’m afraid to tear mine apart so I took it to a place that will do that and put in the ssd, heat sink and clean it. I’m so totally a chicken. I wish I could learn from you Jacob!!
Same here $700 😬
@@UnknownCorner69you got robbed😂 love the toon link pfp
Wow😂
He got played by the seller. This was a common thing on eBay when I was younger. People would post something on it for a bid price and bid against someone bidding for the item raising the price. The do it to each other in pawn stars all the time to.
It might have been bought by a scalper and when they couldn't sell it they got mad and threw the controller or something, and instead of taking a loss on it they donated it to goodwill to at least get the price of it as a tax write off.
Pretty good it was kinda expensive but it looks almost new
Goodwill was ok years ago . But they get everything free & are getting too greedy!!
Could you link the tool kit you use for opening consoles? Looking into doing general repair on personal ones when they eventually need repairs/cleaning. Thanks in advance
You can buy new ones now at Walmart for 500
whenever something says untested when it comes with all the cords and stuff it needs to be tested, its the most suspect thing you could ever buy lol.
new challenge idea for some youtuber: try cooking an egg on an overheating ps5
thats a crazy price for a ps5
When I was little and misbehaving my parents would threaten to give away my video games if I didn’t behave. This poor kids mom didn’t make an empty threat when they were misbehaving. 😂
In 2013, i helped start an electronics recycling program at Denver Goodwill called GoodElectronics. The company came off as greedy to me. After three years, I dipped out. Two years after that, they closed up shop. I had a half dozen people working for me in the tech department, and we brought in between $50k-$80k a month. It was never enough, they were always pushing me to generate more. I later found out they gave my manager huge raises ($40k+ a year) and they wouldnt even pay me $13 an hour. My techs made between $9-$11 an hour.
A disk drive version of a ps5 in Australia is $800 retail. You have it lucky
Jacob, although I don’t see the sticker, this could be COB. Not sure if you know this but Goodwill sometimes buys from Target, like their overstocked products, returns, etc. The PS5 could have been donated but most likely it’s from Target and they decided to send it to shopgoodwill.
Ive gotten 2 free games buying used consoles once was an xbox 360 in 2008 and another time it was weird, it was a digital game on an xbox one s which was listed as a 500gb but actually it had 1tb, I bought it for my wife. No other account except my wife's was on it and some how cod cold war was installed we didn't own it but she could play it somehow.
Usually cool stuff like that gets donated from landlords evicting people and take all their stuff that they couldn't get to goodwill
The Pulse 3D headset is an additional $100. The $600 price point isn't bad at all
For used it still is high though. Ps5s are readily available now
Maybe the original owner passed away and his relatives gave the ps5 away to goodwill because it was too painful to look at... What do you think, is it too much?
Probably a kid misbehaving and the parent donated the ps5 as punishment
Instead of giving the console for free they could have sold it to Gamestop for $200 😂😂
clean camera setup bro
1:25 to answer that question you'll be amazed at how girl friends/ex wives get back at their husbands/boyfriends. This is coming from someone that used to work at good will "2005-2010." So if they wanted stuff gone.. or wanted to "pay back" they would find a way to do so.
Lol that's funny
I like how the condition of these consoles keep getting worse and worse for the price he keeps paying for them
bro what you can get a brand new ps5 for 510 with god of war and they sell this junk at 600 dollars? no way
Here in Australia, you can buy a digital PS5 for $650aud brand new.
So as a non American, can I just confirm that Goodwill is like what we call in the UK, a charity shop/second hand shop? A shop where people donate things rather than sell them, and any money made from selling items goes to charity.
Almost got it right. Goodwill uses the money to invest into employment training programs and of course to keep their operations going.
Goodwill is not a charity. Common misconception
@@hectorg5809 As I say, not from the USA so that is why I was asking.
@@TheMortalkombat2007 Thanks. Just heard the name so many times over the years and wondered if it was similar to the second hand shops here.
Why? You can go down to best buy right now and get a new one for $500...
Amazing how goodwill is charging that much.
@jacobR Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Yah for the condition it’s at paying over 600 to get this used PS5 is definitely not worth it even with the headset adding on the price.
If this was a near mint condition then around actual market price (so this won’t include deals and places you can get it cheaper for) it would around 500 and then when you add the headset then it would then make more sense it would be worth around 600. But a used condition PS5 already takeaway a good 100 and I’m guessing the headset is used too so at least another 30 odd has to be taken away, but then when you see the actual condition both the controller and the plates like damm those scratches (I never understood how a kid would do that and treat something like this in the first that badly, like when I was a kid I have never actually damaged any of my consoles as I was one of those 5 year old kids back in the day that got consoles when I wasn’t supposed to be old enough to play on them but if I was daring enough to do something to my console at best was to draw on them and never damage them. I would need to ask if that kid was privileged for them to even consider in damaging it) yah that’s definitely another 100 off that.
Luckily it still works so I cannot see it go lower than 300 but yah with that condition and even headset included paying over 600 for that is definitely not worth it
I have to wonder if it was goodwill bidding on the ps5 to push the price up. It’s actually not uncommon for people to do that, no it the only thing that makes sense consider a ps5 is less new from the store and they’re readily in stock these day.
The price is so YIKES...
I saw a PS5 in a pawn shop yesterday for $250.
I swear I heard "kind of like my foreskin when I play with my dogs" I was like wtf
i paid $700 for one. it was the only one in stock and i was really desperate to get a ps5
That’s almost the price I paid for my limited edition ps5 Spider-Man 2 console 🤦♂️
So that means somebody donated A PS5 what is wrong with people
Might have been a parent teaching an entitled child a lesson.
Very odd a new system would get donated. I think a parent is going to destroy it long before taking the time outta there day to drive somewhere to teach a kid a lesson. Buddy must have watched a movie with something like that in it that commented on your comment. I call capi on the whole donated thing though.
@Bigballmagrawl09 not at all as that is exactly what I would do to my kids to teach them a lesson, infact I would take them along for the ride when I dropped it off.
@@neilstothard sure thing Skippy
Or the owner died
Please put your stuff up to give away before you go giving it to G.W. PAWN or give to a local Pawn to keep your $$$ in the community.
In my local store a ps5 is 450€ sealed :))
In canada you have to pay at least $600
Maybe you bought a scalpers PS5 that had an abundance of them
Firmware 3.20 🤩 that's gold yo
ooofff $600 is ridiculous considering you can get a brand new one for $500 kinda of a bad deal tbh.
Goodwill is notorious for inflating the prices of the things they sell. That price is not surprising.
The gash you're seeing leads me to believe this might have been a "revenge donate", if you know what I mean.
Keep up the good content🙌🙌
Wait, why? You can get them new for less.
My local Best Buy have PS5s in stock for $600 cdn! Eek.
It’s cheaper new lol - I got the god of war bundle one for $560
I never understand how people can't take care of stuff, my ps5 box is pristine
The Grim Truth Is Someone May Have Passed And The System Was Given
Great Video 👌👌
My guess. Could be a vengeful ex giving it away. My brother's friend had his PS5 taken and given to Goodwill. She was so petty lol
She should have sold it to gamestop at least get $200 for it 😂
@@dericjames2018 😂😂😂
I thought from the title that its either broken or full of dust and other crap like most of DKOldies consoles. :D
I buy and resell shoes similar to you selling consoles. I stopped buying off goodwill I believe the store managers are shill bidding because the shoes for example are selling way way over market price.
I paid $600 for a perfect condition ps5 👀, but from goodwill? 😬
The prices u can buy a new one with 600$ ur a beast
i stopped buying from goodwill recently. always a terrible packing job from certain stores
It’s either great or really bad. I’ve had some of the best packaged items come from goodwill, but also some of the worst
I want to know why someone donated a PS5 less than three years after it released. Must be quite a story.
Goodwill has gotten greedy. What a shame.
I bought my ps5 from GameStop for 651 bucks I got another controller with it though
Poor kid got grounded and his PS5 got donated
Aren't they $500 brand new?
God of War disc bundle for 509.00 dollars at best buy here...
I live on a third world country in which every imported product is extremely overpriced, so paid around $700-$800 for mine...F
628 bucks because it includes the headset 😁
but........... thats above MSRP. Why?
Plot twist it is DKoldies
Yo Jacob I got 500gb ps4 slim, 1tb ps4 pro and ps vr…wanna make me an offer?? 😁🤣🤣
My brother spent $900 on his ps5 when they first came out.😂😂😂 I refused to pay that much so i got mine brand😂 new a month ago for $540 after tax. $600 for used one is highway robbery
Hi Jacob 👋
I buyed my for 650$ fresh from the store
I’m guessing a couple broke up and she gave his ps5 to goodwill because she was pissed. Just a guess though
Why you can get them brand new on the PS website 😅😅😅
Bro paid 628 dollars for a PS5 when you could get a new PS5 slim for 450 dollars
Crazy twist of fate you were bidding against rich from review tech USA
Imagine giving away PS5 jeeeezzz
I wouldnt pay 600 dollars for a ps5 i can go to my local walmart and buy a ps5 god of war ragnorak edition for 509$ thats a good value and defierntly better than the goodwill ps5
So the scalpers are steal being able to sell this things for a price higher than new good stuff.🤔
People would donate ps4's and Xbox's all the time. Not surprised by a ps5.
what!? is goodwill buying them new and sell the for a profit🤯
Why the hell is goodwill asking 600 for it?
Jacob musta been bidding against techtronics
It costs 650$ Canadian to get a brand new ps5 why are they selling it for 816.51, you received a used item for more than the new price
