- I Bought a Box of 23 Old "Broken" iPods - Can I Make Money on Them? I paid $186 for a box of Apple iPods (and 1 DSI XL) the seller said were broken. There were only 4 iPods I found that needed repairs. I showed replacing one of the batteries but decided to do something different with the other 3 iPods... collaborating with DankPods! (Check out his channel at the link below) After repairs and cleaning I was able to sell 20 of the iPods on eBay and share all the sales numbers at the end of the video.

About This Video: I paid $186 for a box of Apple iPods (and 1 DSI XL) the seller said were broken. So after charging them I got to work testing and repairing them. There were only 4 iPods I found that needed repairs: 2 iPod Touches needed their batteries replaced, 1 iPod Nano has a weird problem where the sound cuts out sometimes, and 1 iPod Touch has a nonworking volume button. I showed replaced one of the batteries but decided to do something different with the other 3... collaborating with DankPods! I sold 20 of the iPods on eBay and share all the sales numbers at the end of the video.
Tronicsfix: sends Ipods
Dankpods: opens up Ipods
Someone's been in here
Lol!
Just hope he didn't use the one grit!
Look wut he did to mah boi!!!!
Is that a dankpods reference
Jack the Great yes
Sometimes I actually wish more items in these lots are broken! Did you think I'd make money on them? Dank Pods will be releasing his video next week!
Also...some of you have noticed the Paypal fees that seem to be more than normal. I didn't notice when I was compiling this spreadsheet that sometimes sales taxes are lumped in with Paypal fees so unfortunately that column is a little bit off. The rest of the numbers are exact and the totals are still the same.
I'm sure you can pull it off
Btw I also commented something I want your opinion on
It’s more fun watching when you have a lot to fix!
Yes! I thought you would make money and thank you for sharing the numbers! 💜🌞🌵😷
Really loved this video, and the future (future?) collab with Dankpods (You can hear that dingus in the distance, lol). Anyway: Hope you do a transparent ipod mod some day, would love to see you do that :D Kudos!
I absolutely love your transparency in these videos. Showing us how much you paid and how much you made. A lot of youtubers try to hide the money side of things so it’s such a breath of fresh air
Glad you enjoyed that part!
+ add the money TH-cam pays you for that video 😉
Wish his basic console maintenance and repairs weren't so expensive
I almost hate to say this but I wish more were broken so we could see more fixing😂! Nice video!
Ha, ha...I actually agree with you on that! They were listed as salvage when I bought them.
Will yeah this is the whole thing actually.
TronicsFix I honestly don’t believe that out of all 21 of those iPods only 3-6 were actually broken, that’s insane!
I would quite like to learn how to properly fix things like consoles, phones, iPods etc.
Are you by any chance going to do a course on your website on specific consoles and common problems or how to identify problems with consoles? I think it would be a great way to learn!
the problem is that people throw everything
@@Tronicsfix a
DankPods would be proud.
Oh I checked description and it's a collab.. Huh.
I can't imagine a world where 2gb was enough to satisfy someone for music, but then I remember I lived through that world. Now I carry everything in FLAC on a 400gb sd card.
"Pretty much all iPods are old and broken by now"
[DankPods disliked that.]
haha i was going to make a DankPods reference too!
I was going to type the same...
GEAR GEAR GEAR!!!!!
@@cluadvan Geir
Correct he loves Ipods and he has loads of them
Damn, some of those touches have the cleanest backs I've seen!
Yep...some of them are pretty good.
I love that you collabed with Dank Pods. He's such an awesome guy!
na-no
That was a fun video. I love seeing these older devices being brought back to life and being ready to get used again.
I have a 160 GB iPod Classic that I bought used in 2007. Still works without much trouble (wheel's a bit wonky). By far my favorite piece of tech.
I’m so glad about this collab. DankPods is an amazing channel, and so is this one! Really happy for you guys and hope to see this partnership as a regular thing!
When you get more of these, think about getting a little external speaker. I have one that fits the headphone jack and doesn't need external power. That way you don't risk damaging your ears if by accident the sound is too loud or broken. Also, with an external speaker, we all can hear it work. 💜🌞🌵😷
The Cleaning parts are so satisfying
TronicsFix: sends the iPods
DankPods: receives only the packaging
DankPods again: “someone stole my iPods”
I don't blame him.
The old slash n dash
That's one specific thing i like so much about you & the channel, you show us even the money lists. Profits looses etc. And your such a humble & smart guy. Always a pleasure watching these! Regards from Germany.
All the click wheel iPods also have a diagnostic mode. Hold the center button and the menu button until it powers off, then hold the center button and the left button. There's a lot you can test, including video output over the 32pin dock connector and all zones of the click wheel.
Checks title- Bought 23 broken Ipods- intrigued
Checks length- 13 Minutes- doesnt add up
I Conclude 3 minutes in that this was a good lot.
7 Minutes in- starts looking at eBay for broken ipods and the resell market
I'm not a big apple fan. But the iPod classic was a fricking beast. I had an original one back in the early 2000's then got a new one just before they discontinued them. Still have it, wonderful unit.
_"And randomly, I do have this one DSI xL just for fun..."_
Me: * Surprised Pikachu Face* 😯
Tronics fix: opens and fix iPods
Dank pods: attempts to open iPod, fails, makes shrek pod touch
I love how you have the profit/loss margins in spreadsheet format at the end. Wish you’d do this in more, if not all your videos! 🙂
I like seeing the numbers at the end of the vid. Really cool. Also it almost seemed like this vid was an unboxing because of how many weren’t broken lol
I bought the 2gig nano from the beginning. I didn’t realize it was from TronicsFix until after it came in and had what was checked and the name on the top. I works great and was shipped fast. I was using it today on my old Camero as I don’t have unlimited data on my phone.
Also DankPods inspired me to look for iPod on eBay. Sorry you lost money on it.
Dankpods was happy to collaborate!
I love it when you buy these lot of broken stuff. Lots of fun to watch! It would be fun to fix but I would be scared of getting hosed.
Thanks for bringing back the part where you show how much these items costs and how much you ended up making, thank you for putting all the time and effort in making us these wonderful videos ❤️
10:12
I was thinking right about someone... Dankpods😂
He sent them to dank pods lmaaaoo
YES! I love Dank Pods. I love this little youtube fixing circle we got going on.
Dang seeing these iPods reminded me of the iPod classic my dad had that got stolen out of his car. Kinda crazy how old these are
3:48
Wow, that’s a funny looking iPod.
I know I will never fix or repair anything myself, i just like to see him doing repairs
Oh man... Recently I’ve replaced the battery and the case of my 10 yrs old classic and now I know how does the pain look...
Not bad. The better ones are essentially small tablets for $8.25 each if they can be fixed. Thing is, who wants them? That's the reason I sold my Ipod years ago....the phone did it all.
Well now I know what his next video is from DankPods. Can't wait for that "Someone's been in here"
Yes! I've been waiting for another video! Loved it, as normal. Keep the good work up. Stay safe Tronics.
The quotations should also be on “iPods” in the title. Where did that DS come from lol?
Love how Tronics fix is everywhere. I even see him in comments for other youtubers
Thank you for TronicsFix for uploaded the video
I love the guy who packed these
Dankpods collab, what more can I wish for.
"pretty much all iPods are old and broken"
my iPod touch 7th generation 32GB space gray I bought brand new 5 months ago: *Are you sure about that?*
Collabing with Dank!? Dream come true right there!!
TronicsFix and Project Farm are my favorite channels!
That must've been the quickest thirteen minutes of my life lol.
Great stuff as per usual.
Im so glad most were fixed but also not cuz I get some sort satisfaction when you fix them.
This video was WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you so much!!! My wait was soooooooo worth it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That last older iPod touch: What a deal! Can't turn that down!
I instantly realized the red nano 2nd gen and 5th gen touch went to Dankpods I watched his collab video 😂😂
I cant wait for the collab with DankPods! I love his channel
I saw the 6th gen and thought "DankPods hates them" and you're actually sending some pods to him. That is something I didn't think would happen but that's amazing
I had an ipod shuffle once that I would charge fully but it would die so quickly I just stopped using it. 😒😅
Love your videos! I don’t fix things but I find it interesting to watch.
Edited to remove question, was answered in vid. 😊
I really like the numbers! Thanks for showing them!
Was nice to see the spreadsheet showing all the costs, thanks for that. Always interesting stuff.
*sold an IPod*
*had to pay to sell the IPod*
*lost money by selling an IPod*
:I
Even Hugh Jeffreys might have been interested in this ipod lot
Nice deal you got. And you can pop the bubble wrap. Bonus!!
Alright! Lets get to fi---hey those are mostly all working! No fair! :P
I know! I hate it when that happens!
@@Tronicsfix A sure fire way to fix that is give the box a couple of kicks to the workbench. Ace Ventura style :D
Great to see a list in the end of the video profit keep it up👌🏻
@@Simon-dd4gk Lol!
@DankPods is amazing! Awesome collab!
This video helped me discover DankPods. Both you guys are amazing
Back about 8 years ago I used to buy lots of "broken" Teddy Ruxpins and refurb them. A lot of them were just old grease. I honestly made a few thousand dollars doing it while giving people a memory of their childhood.
Your channel has grown so so much.. I came here from my mate Vince .... keep up the great work
New video. GREAT NEWS! A box of iPods sounds like just the right amount.
TronicsFix: The iPod Opening tools are bad quality
Dankpods: I’ve gone through all of my freshies! >:(
TronicsFix: Well that's a lot of iPods
Nintendo DSI: Am I a joke to you?
Man I remember having og iPod nano. Even made a playlist for running as I got it while in the usaf and used it when I was at the gym.
I love how you show how much you paid and how much you sold it for - keep it coming!
my favorite youtubers collabing
I buy the iPod for the 4GB Microdrive. I used it for the CF adapter in the Commodore AMIGA 1200.
IV got the original I pod nano the one in the video at 2:18 it's in a lime green collor and I must say they are un killable mine has been submerged in watter sevral time on accident left outside in the snow for a week thrown against the wall and even stepped on it and it just won't die IV got a total of 2197 songs on it and it still works great
im addicted to your videos
DankPods x TronicsFix, a collab that I didn't know I wanted
thanks for posting profit/loss numbers.
Fixed my ps4 after watching you so thank very much 👏
Your videos are better than any ASMR
I have one of those iPod 120gb video editions. Mine stopped working just after 12 months, I believe it was the charging port that stopped working. I'm pretty sure I put it back in the box and it's in storage at my parents house. Next time I'm back home, I must look for it.
I still have my old 80gb classic working, best music player ever
I actually still have my Ipod touch 2g 8GB. It's 11 y.o. now. It holds some of my memories. Interesting, that the battery holds pretty well. I've changed so many smartphones from that time, some were really bad with battery. But this guy still works perfectly well!
it's now 13 right? do you still use it? does it still hold up? glad to know it was working at least!
@@hockypockies yup :). I still use it when I want to listen to my nostalgic music. I actually dropped it from the balcony 1 year ago. The case was destroyed completely, but I was shocked to see that iPod was ok. It didn’t drop vertically, but it was sliding from my lap.
A collaboration with DankPods,oh hell yeah
It's cool to see two of my favourite channels working together!
1:33 You can build your own charger using a USB cable and an old 4-pin headphone cable. Just connect the wires in the right way (you can find pinouts online) and it will work.
How many Dollarydoos??
Love me some Dank Pods.
Looking forward to this collab. Mate.
And now I know where those three iPods that Dankpods 'Tried' to fix came from.
Ah, the memories... Thanks, Steve
A Dankpods colab! Yes!
The whole time in this video I'm thinking "Man...Dankpods would be jealous!" then you are going to send him some!
When DankPods gets em he gonne be like “sOmEoNeS bEeN iN hErE”
Aw yeah, Dank Pods collab! Yay! Great video and nice profit... ignoring fees... Oof.
"I bought a box of 23 broken ipods." Oh, I guess they're all working and fully charged. Guess it won't take much thermal paste to fix.
TronixFix: I will repair a lot of IPods.
Apple: WAIT!!! THAT’S ILLEGAL!!
Dankpods is happy!😅
Now we need a 1 Grit and that hydraulic press channel to do a collaboration.
So, one thing that I have been wondering for a while:
In terms of trying to remove flux/dirt/gunk from circuit boards I have been toying with the idea of utilizing a sonic sink with some combination of DI water and/or IPA. I was curious on what your thoughts might be on this?
I love how we all watch the same channels
Those Touch A1288s are great, the latest model that has no camera anywhere and you can use it as a very slow personal computer, the lack of camera is very useful in some places.
I really need to learn how to fix all of this stuff 😂
Thanks!
Great vid, but curious to hear why you don’t include the parts (batteries) as part of your profit and loss sheet? Surely they knock a sizeable hole in the actual profit?
I got the 160gb classic as well. Love it. But the back case scratchrs up really easely. In new Condition they cost about CHF600.00 here in switzerland.
Lets gooooo Dankpods collab
Looks like a mighty fine find
