    Has DK Oldies Changed? About a year ago I bought a "refurbished" NES from DK Oldies for a review video. I was less than impressed with their "refurbishing" but it's been a year so I decided to give it another try. To make it more of a fair review, I also bought a used PS4 from eBay so I can compare the two.

It might still need a cleaning or repaste but ordering a box of surprise for top dollar is just ridiculous.

      And if you want a good customer experience the warranty is there for customer peace of mind, NOT a fallback for flipping junk. No one wants to return the console they were waiting for, even if it's free... You paid for a working product, you don't want that hassle.

Before you send it back or whatever may I suggest at some point just leaving it plugged in and charging to see if that solves that one problem that seems to be regularly seen in all 3 of my PS4 controllers even though I only connected 2 of the 3 to my PS4 only (one I tried using on a emulator so I cannot vouch that that one was only due to lack of charge).

    Great as always, glad your treatment is going well.

    $313 for an almost 9 year old console is outrageous, especially considering it had issues. Edit: I also just realized that the listing says $249.99 but the email said $289.99. Idk for sure, but the sales tax seems off too.

    Just a nit-pick, that first console wasn't sold or refurbished by eBay - it came from a seller ON eBay. There are plenty of honest sellers who use that platform. Having said that, these are two examples of how not to run a business. Sadly I'm experiencing more and more of this lately. Don't know if it's people trying to squeeze out every last cent of a sale in this economy or what.
