I do like companies and organizations that plant trees as a way to offset their carbon footprint, since more trees does equal less carbon dioxide in the air, however there's one thing that many don't realise and get a bit wrong. You can't just plant a bunch of trees and that's it. A charity fundraiser in my town helped plant over 1,000 trees, but they literally just planted them all in rows in a field and that was it ... and all the trees died. You have to make sure you employ the services of an arborist to actually _care_ for the trees, help provide supports for their trunks as they grow from saplings into more mature trees, and trim and fertilize them properly and make sure they don't succumb to disease or pests. So just saying you "plant a tree for every purchase" doesn't exactly say much - you need to provide more details and make sure you do it properly, not just plant some saplings and hope for the best.
You indeed need a plan instead just doing things. Things like soil quality water amounts and hours of sunlight are a huge deal. This is why i prefer to donate to people who buy up and protect parches of nature (woods/rainforests/wetlands etc etc). Bc then you know its good straight away ^^.
@@maxnum1sgameclub263 Yeah same. Even better when they help support "old growth" forests because those - especially in the UK - are in desperate need of protection and more funding so we don't lose what little older forests that we still have. All new is good, don't get me wrong, but already-established places need funding too!
These companies practically never physically plant a tree themselves. They just pay some small amount of money per sale to another company that handles that sort of thing.
Man I got one of those free pine-tree saplings from school as a kid it is like 30 foot tall with a triple main lead and no real top because it got ran over by the riding mower atleast a dozen times and hit by lighting once only thing I've ever done for it is ratchet strap the leads back together after the lighting split it you all must be planting some week ass trees or something

I had a fantastic experience with Reebelo! I ordered an fair iPhone X for $100 and received a free upgrade to an new iPhone 15 Pro Max and an new iPad Pro M4. If you're not getting a free upgrade, you're missing out!
@@JohnSmith-m3p I'd rather spend more from companies directly, so I am guaranteed to get what I paid for in perfect condition. Rather than a website, like Reebelo, where things are too good to be true
There's also some good ones though. VIPOUTLET comes to mind. They go into these not knowing what to expect and in that case they got nothing but gems to the point that everyone stopped filming and were trying to snatch up stuff on there lmao.

It absolutely can. The problem with E bay is returns, quality. It all will vary with the seller. I would buy from this with more peace of mind and being able to exchange or return.
Hard disagree, I love ebay for refurbished items that are low-risk or being peddled by the manufacturer (low-risk used chairs or dyson selling its own appliances as examples). But for sensitive and important items like phones and computers are usually not worth it unless dealing with a refurbishing company like Reebelo on Ebay itself and if you do that you're basically engaging with a higher-risk version of Reebelo anyways.
quick thing to note: majority of items sold on reebelo (and things like backmarket) aren’t sold by reebelo themselves, companies have items in their warehouses and they send them to you.
5:30 this can be a sign for an expanded battery pushing against the haptic thingy under the trackpad. You should've checked system information for battery cycles/health.
It can also be a sign that someone spilled soup of some kind on the trackpad. I used to work at a repair shop and a girl spilled curry all over her macbook air. Had to replace her screen and spent a good 20 minutes or so scraping around the trackpad with tweasers to get all the curry from around the trackpad before the trackpad worked properly again.
I bought an unlocked iPhone 13PM 1tb for around $760 on this website and it basically looked brand new, literally no scratches or anything and plus it had 100% battery health. After that I ended up buying an Apple Watch Ultra 2 for around $480 and again absolutely perfect condition.
What do you mean, he mentioned that multiple times in the video, pointing out that only the AirPods seemed to actually have been shipped from the site.
@@mikejames6588 pristine: having its original purity. Uncorrupted or unsullied. In original condition. Phones do not have scratches on the screens from the factory (or at least shouldn't). Therefore, any scratch on screen voids it being pristine. Any scratch in general technically does. Learn what the definitions of words are before you try being a smart ass.
1:00 Somebody at Reebelo needs to learn what the word "pristine" means. Even if a device has zero scratches, if the battery health is down to 85% it's not really pristine.
Thank you for doing a video on reebelo. I have heard very mixed things about them and been very sceptical on whether it's a scam or not. Like the prices almost seem to good to be true sometimes. Really appreciate the video

I bought two items from Reebelo; an LG Velvet 5G in 'excellent' condition over a year ago, and an Xbox 360 E in 'excellent' condition very recently. The LG looked fantastic and worked fantastic. The Xbox however looked like it hadn't been refurbished whatsoever which it REALLY needed to be. Most consoles get abused, sadly, which is why I wanted a fixed-up refurbished unit. I still have the LG, I returned the Xbox.
Thank you so much for letting us know your experience. We'd love to try to get you the refurbished Xbox you deserve if you're still in need of one! Also, please be assured anytime an item is returned due to quality issues, we take it very seriously and follow up with the vendor/ lower their score. Your feedback helps us to improve so much!

iPhone's not too bad of a deal to go pristine if you factor in the time and cost of fiddling around swapping the battery yourself. Batteries gonna run you like $40-50; maybe $20 more if you need to fix anything else cosmetic. like glass or a backplate or whatever. Not bad really to pay em for like an hours work to touch it all up before you get it. Plus you got the option of getting the excellent for a MUCH deeper cut and fixing it later if you wanna go that route.
I honestly hate Chromebooks, the idea is ok but then you realize that they are all pre-destined to be e-waste. I see so many for sale on my local markets but a large majority are either past their EOL or are very close and not labeled as such.
I bought an used iPhone 14 Pro Max on eBay and the seller said it was in mint condition it literally didn’t have a single scratch and battery 100% and to my surprise it was. Left an amazing feedback post 😂
My experience with reebelo was just bad. I ordered a milwaukee rotary tool sold with battery and charger and all I got was the bare tool. Reached out to them, came back with no replacement available so I can get $15 refund or return. A fraction of just the battery. They suck for not honoring thier own advertisement.
Kinda want to grab a Surface Book 2 from them. I've always wanted one, and my ol' reliable laptop from 2011 has finally hit "not useable for D&D" tier. And at $280, it's SUPER tempting.
I am not sold on the price because pristine and acceptable difference is only 5 dollars but if i sell my phone to them it probably will give me a 50 to 100 dollar price drop.
They get the color and the condition of the order wrong. But they own up to the mess up and offer a resolution. And I have come to enjoy the pixel device I ordered.
I've had a horrible experience with reebello. I bought a Samsung s21 in "excellent condition" and the fingerprint sensor was broken and the sim tray was loose. They say they do 70 tests to the phone to make sure it's working before sending it off. That's obviously a lie. Should be reprimanded for false advertising.
ngl the gaming chromebooks, and just chromebooks in general are great now. with how performant the chromebook plus/gaming devices are getting (and how much better the OS runs on lower end hardware than windows), and how great the linux and android app support has gotten, it's hard to beat the value of a chromebook when shopping under 500 USD for a laptop. Hell, i've got steam installed on mine and i'm playing through portal 2 again with no performance concerns on high graphics (notably: not streamed, actually installed on it), which none of the windows devices available for the cost I got mine at would be able to do. 240 for that is a pretty good deal, because I think the lowest cost i3 based chromebook new is like 400 USD as of this comment.
@@brunettebird57 yeah I'm definitely not a Linux bro. It's a disaster OS That's almost impossible to get working unless a device is specifically designed around supporting it, and would be entirely useless on a Chromebook as well if it wasn't for how easy Google has made its implementation. Acting like you can get a read on a person's personality, and the entirety of their opinion on a topic from a single comment is rather short-sighted. edit: additionally, running the game at 2k high settings on a hardware config that would struggle to run the same game at 720p medium in windows is impressive performance, despite the game's age. windows is poorly optimized for performance on lower end hardware, which is not something chromeOS struggles with nearly as much (a pentium and 8gb ram is almost but not quite usable for windows, but is more than enough for the same tasks in chromeOS).
Austin you should come over to the UK and try CeX. Sadly the dont ship outside of the UK tho so you will need to come here. But at the same time there are physical stores so you could both order online and visit instore
The other day I traded an old pc I built with an AMD phenom quad core with ddr2 & a GTX 650ti for a 2017 MacBook Air & another basic desktop lmao talk about a come up. Didn’t realize the value of these MacBooks
@ Completely forgot to update, v sorry 😅 I got it about 2 weeks ago, It didn’t come with any scratches or dents and the battery is really good!! I can play heavy games with it really well, no problems with the iPad itself so far, or the charger. Only problem I had is the packaging, it wasn’t really secure, so I was surprised nothing broke while in transit. I’m pretty sure the packaging depends on which seller you buy from, since the packaging my friend had was different since they ordered from a different seller, so I’d be wary on that 😓 But overall 9.5/10 experience, NOT a scam website thankfully! I’d definitely consider ordering from them again 🫶
The same no click issue either the mac happened to me. I own the same machine that I bought in 2018. It was working good but after the latest MacOs update, the trackpad’s click stopped working.
Still stuck with your French Canadian keyboard Austin (at least it was not a Azerty keyboard)? Echapp stands for "Échapper", which is escape! From a new Quebec listner of your channel🎉
To be fair the z flip 4 had major problems with the hinge so it's hard put on a condition scale and yea I spent 1100 on mine in total and switched to the z fold 5 for roughly the same price
I'm surprised the Chromebook worked for gaming bc I had an Lenovo IdeaPad i3 that came with 8GB of RAM that I doubled. It was not good for gaming and the screen sucked. Had a bunch of ports though, that I barely used. Not a bad laptop, just not worth the hundreds of dollars new.
For the quality of my AirPod pro compared to cheaper earbuds I can tell a huge difference and they function a lot better than most of the others I owned so the price is worth it
Depends on which brand you get. Never liked AirPods because they fall out of the ear so easily. My JBL Quantums are awesome for $149. My Shure SE200s are awesome for $99+$50 for bluetooth adapter.
He has so much exposure to and opinions of ear buds. He does such a great job explaining what’s good or bad about all sorts of air buds. Yet there’s not a single video where he compares or rates them against one another. I’ve heard him talk up the Beats Studio buds and says they’re a great deal.. but what’s the best deal? What’s the best for money spent? Longest play time?
I can say without watching this video that it’s not. At least in Australia. Bought the 13 mini in excellent condition 128GB midnight for A$700. Receive a US version with the mmWave cutout. Happy with 94% battery health outside the box.
Reebelo's website claims: "Originality & Quality. All pre-owned smartphones at Reebelo are guaranteed original. They’re 100% functional and undergo rigorous 70+ quality checks before shipping." However, when the phone arrived, there was a warning message indicating that the battery is non-genuine, not functioning as expected, or the installation is incomplete. This suggests the original battery had been replaced with a knock-off, preventing the phone from displaying battery health and capacity. This is a scam.
I’m a simple man: I’m alone in Easter holiday resting to be ready for returning to work, ate a crispy mcbacon, zapping Evans videos and immediately click the new one just released.
It comes with a free one year warranty for any product defects, the two year warranty upgrade is optional and also covers physical damage. Similar to Apple Care.
If the Z Flip 4 is anything like mine the factory fitted screen protector started lifting during the heat of last summer and I ended up fitting a new one myself, the nearest Samsung service centre was way to far for me to travel to make it economic cost wise to do the journey and get one fitted for free.
PLEASE make a video on handheld pcs, i like your opinion the best. I want you to review the legion go, rog ally, gpd win mini, ayaneo and such, i want to know which one is best. Please
Reebelo gave me a terribly conditioned Samsung s23+. It was scratched up and nothing but problems with speakers, and needing to be rebooted all the time. They will not call you back. I received it with a dead battery
i bought a premium edition iphone and it came with visible scratches/mini cracks on the phone and has 87 battery capacity, what should i do? am i able to return it?

I've had a horrible experience with reebello. I bought a Samsung s21 in "excellent condition" and the fingerprint sensor was broken and the sim tray was loose. They say they do 70 tests to the phone to make sure it's working before sending it off. That's obviously a lie. Should be reprimanded for false advertising.
7:50 Z Flip camera looked actually better than recording camera, more natural colors. Recording camera gives him an orange tone.
Agreed!
ngl the gaming chromebooks, and just chromebooks in general are great now. with how performant the chromebook plus/gaming devices are getting (and how much better the OS runs on lower end hardware than windows), and how great the linux and android app support has gotten, it's hard to beat the value of a chromebook when shopping under 500 USD for a laptop. Hell, i've got steam installed on mine and i'm playing through portal 2 again with no performance concerns on high graphics (notably: not streamed, actually installed on it), which none of the windows devices available for the cost I got mine at would be able to do. 240 for that is a pretty good deal, because I think the lowest cost i3 based chromebook new is like 400 USD as of this comment.
Fr. The right chromebook is amazing.
I got the Samsung Chromebook 2 and after a few updates it's pretty well optimized
@@CHICKEN_Lord617 ooh yeah that's a great one! Almost got it but the Acer one with the i5 went on sale for the same cost
linux bros being excited over being able to run a 12yo game on a 500$ laptop, holy shit
@@brunettebird57 yeah I'm definitely not a Linux bro. It's a disaster OS That's almost impossible to get working unless a device is specifically designed around supporting it, and would be entirely useless on a Chromebook as well if it wasn't for how easy Google has made its implementation. Acting like you can get a read on a person's personality, and the entirety of their opinion on a topic from a single comment is rather short-sighted.
edit: additionally, running the game at 2k high settings on a hardware config that would struggle to run the same game at 720p medium in windows is impressive performance, despite the game's age. windows is poorly optimized for performance on lower end hardware, which is not something chromeOS struggles with nearly as much (a pentium and 8gb ram is almost but not quite usable for windows, but is more than enough for the same tasks in chromeOS).
8:03 oh god having that ringtone. I immediately panicked and looked over my phone because I thought someone was calling me.
these are really reasonable prices. and a 2 year warranty for $45. and a brand new battery for $24.
Austin you should come over to the UK and try CeX. Sadly the dont ship outside of the UK tho so you will need to come here. But at the same time there are physical stores so you could both order online and visit instore
The fact that I was thinking of getting a XS from Reebelo and than this video dropped is just crazy
Fate fs
The other day I traded an old pc I built with an AMD phenom quad core with ddr2 & a GTX 650ti for a 2017 MacBook Air & another basic desktop lmao talk about a come up. Didn’t realize the value of these MacBooks
I ordered a ipad air 4 in excellent condition yesterday night, still waiting for it to be shipped. I will update when it arrives 😅
update?
@ Completely forgot to update, v sorry 😅 I got it about 2 weeks ago, It didn’t come with any scratches or dents and the battery is really good!! I can play heavy games with it really well, no problems with the iPad itself so far, or the charger. Only problem I had is the packaging, it wasn’t really secure, so I was surprised nothing broke while in transit. I’m pretty sure the packaging depends on which seller you buy from, since the packaging my friend had was different since they ordered from a different seller, so I’d be wary on that 😓 But overall 9.5/10 experience, NOT a scam website thankfully! I’d definitely consider ordering from them again 🫶
As a Canadian, I’ve never seen a keyboard with French on it before. Didn’t even know they made them like that.
The same no click issue either the mac happened to me. I own the same machine that I bought in 2018. It was working good but after the latest MacOs update, the trackpad’s click stopped working.

Still stuck with your French Canadian keyboard Austin (at least it was not a Azerty keyboard)?
Echapp stands for "Échapper", which is escape!

To be fair the z flip 4 had major problems with the hinge so it's hard put on a condition scale and yea I spent 1100 on mine in total and switched to the z fold 5 for roughly the same price
I'm surprised the Chromebook worked for gaming bc I had an Lenovo IdeaPad i3 that came with 8GB of RAM that I doubled. It was not good for gaming and the screen sucked. Had a bunch of ports though, that I barely used. Not a bad laptop, just not worth the hundreds of dollars new.
lenova is terrible

What's bad about the Hp desktop is the inbuilt graphics is more powerful than the actual GPU in the conputer......
For the quality of my AirPod pro compared to cheaper earbuds I can tell a huge difference and they function a lot better than most of the others I owned so the price is worth it
Depends on which brand you get. Never liked AirPods because they fall out of the ear so easily.
My JBL Quantums are awesome for $149. My Shure SE200s are awesome for $99+$50 for bluetooth adapter.
He has so much exposure to and opinions of ear buds. He does such a great job explaining what’s good or bad about all sorts of air buds. Yet there’s not a single video where he compares or rates them against one another. I’ve heard him talk up the Beats Studio buds and says they’re a great deal.. but what’s the best deal? What’s the best for money spent? Longest play time?
I can say without watching this video that it’s not. At least in Australia. Bought the 13 mini in excellent condition 128GB midnight for A$700. Receive a US version with the mmWave cutout. Happy with 94% battery health outside the box.
Reebelo's website claims: "Originality & Quality. All pre-owned smartphones at Reebelo are guaranteed original. They’re 100% functional and undergo rigorous 70+ quality checks before shipping." However, when the phone arrived, there was a warning message indicating that the battery is non-genuine, not functioning as expected, or the installation is incomplete. This suggests the original battery had been replaced with a knock-off, preventing the phone from displaying battery health and capacity. This is a scam.
backmarket is my favorite 🤩 i’ve gotten 4 phones and an ipad and nothing’s went wrong so far
Cheeky Donut Media shirt there Austin
That 2018s XS video looked much better than 1,5 y.o. Z Flip 4 video 😂😂
I’m a simple man: I’m alone in Easter holiday resting to be ready for returning to work, ate a crispy mcbacon, zapping Evans videos and immediately click the new one just released.
You lied about the cloud gaming at the end?
can you try back market in your next vid plz
The strategy for selling a warrenty is interesting. I don't like it. You cant force that on the customer.
It comes with a free one year warranty for any product defects, the two year warranty upgrade is optional and also covers physical damage. Similar to Apple Care.
I know this is an old video but Apple is locking Intel Macs fast . After a few years of initial updates , there is a bunch of security updates
If the Z Flip 4 is anything like mine the factory fitted screen protector started lifting during the heat of last summer and I ended up fitting a new one myself, the nearest Samsung service centre was way to far for me to travel to make it economic cost wise to do the journey and get one fitted for free.
PLEASE make a video on handheld pcs, i like your opinion the best. I want you to review the legion go, rog ally, gpd win mini, ayaneo and such, i want to know which one is best. Please
I literally never heard of this website lol
We just launched in the US a year and a half ago :)
Reebelo gave me a terribly conditioned Samsung s23+. It was scratched up and nothing but problems with speakers, and needing to be rebooted all the time. They will not call you back. I received it with a dead battery
How did you find their number? What is it?
Did you order them with your name or a random name cause that can make a difference when buying from these types of companies.
Whens “austin sniffing compilation”
3-hour megavid :D
The DSi is the most insulting. One in that condition can be acquired for $60
Austin getting scammed before anybody does is a hero move! lol thanks man. you know you got screwed when you got a computer with the Intel arc....
It looks like the prices for Acceptable, Excellent and Pristine are all the same.
Just ordered something off of Reebelo that said to be in “Pristine” condition. We’ll see
How did it go?
@@reebelo_official can confirm it was in pristine condition. Very happy and relieved!
i bought a premium edition iphone and it came with visible scratches/mini cracks on the phone and has 87 battery capacity, what should i do? am i able to return it?
wow all the conditions of the macbooks were the same prize.... wth makes no sense
Heyyyy! Out layout arent bad! American one are crap tough(mainly for french typing)😂
the donut merch love to see it
