Another week, another RAD trade along with some NOT SO RAD trades... Join Sam and Jay and they combat a case of the Mondays with some repairs and an Xbox trade in thats full of surprises!
The best part about these videos is how "point camera and shoot" it is. That's it. Little to no editing, scripts, overly done, fake reactions, etc. These are so wholesome and enjoyable to watch.
Monday is the day of financial desperation for those who spend too much during the weekend irresponsibly. Such a person tends to not be concerned with cleanliness! 🤢🤮🤣
@Nuttyirishman85 Yes, it goes that way too. But the kind of mindset that tries to sell a disgusting item to a professional business is more often than not one that has a lack of a sense of responsibility. I used the word "tends" not "always". Every situation is different. However irresponsible addicts that spend excessively on alcohol, drugs, etc. for a good time and failed to save enough for rent, child support, etc. are usually the kind that try to pawn off crap to a good business. Depression is no excuse for disrespecting a business. Personal hygiene is none of anyone's business until it affects others. I was mostly broke and extremely depressed not having bathed for such a long time that I was prevented from boarding a Greyhound bus because I stunk so horribly. That was my fault not caring about the other passengers and driver who should not have to breathe in my rank funk. An untidy house is not that big of a deal. A roach infested gaming system for sale is just like my stinky ass trying to board a bus. Consideration for others is a pillar of civilization. If it's broken we're savages.
Any time I get a new-to-me retro console or old radio or any other thing that may have spent time in an attic or shed or other grungy place, I bag it up and leave it in the freezer overnight. ESPECIALLY old vacuum tube radios. Not only does that kill any and all bugs that might be in there, it also goes a very long way towards killing bad smells and loosens nasty stubborn dirt.
I used to work at a repair center for Geek Squad and the stores would send us roach computers from time to time, usually from Florida. We weren't supposed to work on them if there were any visible signs of infestation, but sometimes they had been "cleaned" inside. They all had the telltale roach smell though. The roaches liked to get inside the power supply and eat the wires inside. If you looked up the customer's prior service orders they would usually have a long history of specifically power supply replacements across multiple computers.
@@RadJunk It's like that meme where the guys is asking where the cheese is on the Chicago deep dish pizza. The cheese is under the sauce, except it's the controller is under the game...
Sam your videos are always so awesome, I love the raw and genuine nature to them and how you always are informative about games and consoles. I learn a bunch from your videos and your energy is a huge vibe that the world needs more of
That Steel Battalion controller is incredible. It looks like something, that if I saw it as a kid, I would want for the rest of my life, but my mom wouldn’t get it for me because it was probably too expensive and then by the time I had the money to get it on my own, it would be obsolete. But as a PlayStation kid, I’m immune. 😂 Plus, I love the tear down and rebuild portions of these videos. Reminds me of when I tried to take all my electronics apart in childhood. I was good at the disassembly part, the reassembly, not so much. Went through more TV remotes that way…
When I worked at Apple people had systems with bed bugs. That was nice and gave new meaning to, "Debugging." Also bugs in your system is not a feature. It's just bugs!
years ago I purchased an extra PS2 off craigslist. It looked fine from the outside, but when I got home and disassembled it for cleaning - I had stumbled upon a disgusting nest of dead (and live) roaches! Thanks goodness I had opened up the console in the backyard. It was absolutely terrifying and gross to think what state this person's home was in!
The Star Wars Xbox 360 definitely had the best start up and tray sounds for that generation, and I never knew the single copy of JSFR had foil cover art. Just the other day when I was looking up games I missed out on as a kid I came across 'Revelations: The Demon Slayer' for the Gameboy and then noticed a lot of games for that handheld had the shiny strip on the side. Looking back on buying physical games back then without the internet in my pocket proved quite trivial.
I found a CIB HD DVD player once. I bought it from someone that does storage units. He had it for a month since nobody wanted to mess with it or had no clue what it was lol. Decided to buy & worked fine!
To answer your question about the MISSING POWER CABLES...Microsoft changed their power cable designs several times during the lifespan of the Xbox 360, but the later redesigns weren't backwards compatible with the original faceplate-style consoles. Plus, these early systems bricked often, and many gamers chose to upgrade to the newer Slim series because it included native HDMI support. As a result, many folks tossed their old cables because they didn't think they needed two sets of cables. Plus, they assumed their newer cables were compatible with the first-generation unit (only to discover that this wasn't the case). As a result, many first generation 360s are missing their cables. You're welcome. 😎
6:20 well Sam go order the Cables online! but yeah if I was Running a Videogame Store I would be having a Fit with the Person who Brang in the System but not the Powercables to run it!
From what I have seen, People take care of their stuff over there compared to where I work at in Fresno… trade-ins are commonly looking like they straight outta the garbage dump. 😭 I chuckle when they complain about cleaning a “dirty” console over at rad junk. We even de-roach consoles over here. Very disgusting. Many protocols to follow. Super gross. WD-40 is your friend for the living infestations. Just another thing that magic stuff does.
Brooo that Steel Battallion controller looks super awesome. Just did a quick research it's called Mega Jockey 9000 and can be used for modern games on PC (it seems with some limitations though).
G’Day from Australia! I love watching your channel. Your merchandise is bringing back so many memories. My fave game back in the 80’s was Crush Roller, now I’m on the Xbox S X.
wow that ps4 story is unsettling. cool Mtdew xbox steel battalion controller and pedal set up. burnout games were all a blast really cool starwars box cool you got the dvd power cable for once. but wait threres more. ha. nice. nice controller surprise at the end.
Hey Sam and gang. Was watching the devastation from the hurricanes. That thing wrecked the coast. Hopefully you and friends and family all are okay! And that was an awesome 360 trade.... WOW
While I understand why you wouldn't take such consoles. Do you have any advice on getting them cleaned? Especially for people who don't normally take apart systems.
I ❤️ Your Video My Brother Mark Has A Star Wars Style Xbox 360 Back Then And I Had A Black Nintendo Wii Back Then Came Along With New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
I own a video game store in Michigan and I shit you not the past month I've had 3 attempted ps4 trade ins that were roached. It's disgusting. Crazy it's only been ps4s recently lol
Those new, super tight 72pins ruin carts by scraping the soft gold contacts. In some cases, over a very short period, the game will be ruined to the point where it will not read. The original pins are called ZIF or Zero Insertion Force for a reason. They are meant to allow push in and pull out of carts. It's very easy to clean and maintain them. You don't have to bend the pins or boil them either as many posts suggest. This comment is long, so I assume you won't read it or caution your clients about how new 72pins damage games, but if you want the method of cleaning pins and the board, ask me to reply with instructions. This could still be a service you provide.
What do you do to re-pin an nes? Do you refurbish the old connector or do you use a new pin connector? Problem with the new ones is the death grip and I don’t feel comfortable selling those to people. Just curious what you do, or if you have a nice hack for it.
I cautioned her in my comment and found your comment when perusing others. The newly manufactured 72pins damage games. It looks like she put in a new set since there is a white sleeve which I assume is the manufacturers packaging.
I tried steel battalion once the game was trash and they wanted 150$ for the game around 20 years ago, with that controller that was used for 0 other games
My mom ordered a RE5 Xbox 360 for me for Chrsitmas from Sears and they didn't have enough to fulfill it and cancelled the order :( So I ended up with a Lego Batman x DiRT bundle. Lol Wish I had the red one. I still have my Xbox 360.
The best part about these videos is how "point camera and shoot" it is. That's it. Little to no editing, scripts, overly done, fake reactions, etc. These are so wholesome and enjoyable to watch.
I don't think that's the best part.
Reminds me of original youtube

Being broke leads to depression, which leads to not caring about if my house is tidy.

JSRF is one of the best games ever made. Rad! The concept of love, love, love, concept of love…
More 80s shirts, pleated skirts, and checkered Vans!
It’s sooooo good!

That’s a great idea!
And that doesn’t pose a risk to any of the components in the devices?

No brown stains or roaches on this consecrated ground!
14:16 i was like “wait, dig more, the gold controller might be in there!” 😅 she found gold!
I love golddddd

My brother and I loved Jet Set Radio Future(11:44). What a memory. There are so many games here I’d love to see again from our childhood.
Sam your videos are always so awesome, I love the raw and genuine nature to them and how you always are informative about games and consoles. I learn a bunch from your videos and your energy is a huge vibe that the world needs more of
💙💙💙
That's not Sam, that's Aubrey Plaza in a wig.
It doesn’t hurt that she’s cute as button either 😊
For real her energy brings me back
I wish the NES zappers worked on today's flat-screen TVs

Ok the bugs not being a feature part was pretty good! 😂😂😂
As someone with a rather intense fear of roaches, I think I'd faint if someone brought that to me. lol
Thanks Aubrey. You're super like that Nintendo.
5:40 that is so cool. 💚
Your store is awesome! I love the cleanliness comments too. Keep on keeping on.
Need a couple of triplet sisters.. I live in Florida but it's still so far away. Would love to visit.
6:30 Oh man i miss those CD/DVD bags, mines were mostly full with DiVX movies to be honest, yeah i know i was a bad young man lol

I like the NES Zappers in the background at the beginning! Great Retro Game Content!🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲
Lesson I learned Today? "Don't take a Videogame System filled with Roaches to a Videogame Store!" you will get Turned down Everytime!
years ago I purchased an extra PS2 off craigslist. It looked fine from the outside, but when I got home and disassembled it for cleaning - I had stumbled upon a disgusting nest of dead (and live) roaches! Thanks goodness I had opened up the console in the backyard. It was absolutely terrifying and gross to think what state this person's home was in!
i never got so hyped for a xbox cable. thank you AP. pouring one for the rad gods
Midway Arcade Treasures is a great game!!
3:57 Do you clean bug-infested consoles? Asking for a friend.
The missing cord is an unsolved mystery like socks going missing when doing laundry🤣
“We don’t take roach consoles…”. Well La dee freakin dah, Mr Fancy Pants!! Sorry our consoles don’t come with a side of caviar.
Hi Sambrey Radjunk! Have you guys seen that movie Joe's Apartment? 😂
😂😂😂
Roaches are such a common and horrible thing that it's one of the things keeping me from wanting to deal with consoles at all.
Next Episode: Sam plays Steel Battalion. yessssssssss

Retrofest. Damn sounds fun wish I could go. Sending good vibes from AZ.
Those shiny 360 controllers have a dumb-yet-neat gimmick. The d-pad can be turned to switch between being four- or eight-direction.
I can’t wait to see you guys this weekend at retro fest!
I have a lot of questions haha😊

PlayStation 4 Roach Motel Special Edition!
I always wanted the white Panzer Dragoon Orta console, but it's EXCEEDINGLY rare. Like you are lucky to find one for sale rare.

The GOLD controller!! *chorus singing*
I definitely coveted the Steel Battalion controller, so many buttons.
Thank jaysus we don’t get roaches in Ireland. I fuckin’ love Ireland! 😂😂☘️
Dublin is full of rockroaches.... what?
I don't know how to describe this look that you have on your face in all of your thumbnails, but I love it.
I remember being at PAX when Jessica Nigri got in trouble for dressing like the character they paid her to cosplay.
G’Day from Australia! I love watching your channel. Your merchandise is bringing back so many memories. My fave game back in the 80’s was Crush Roller, now I’m on the Xbox S X.
Sam!!! Love Rad Junk and can't wait to vist your store to spend much RAD FUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
💙💙💙
Won't be able to make it this year, but Palydyn and I will definitely try and make it there next year. Have fun!
LOL, Arkansas.

cool Mtdew xbox steel battalion controller and pedal set up.
burnout games were all a blast
really cool starwars box
cool you got the dvd power cable for once.
but wait threres more. ha. nice.
nice controller surprise at the end.
I've opened laptops that had dead small roaches in them.. I almost puked.
I’ve opened desktops to discover cockroach infestations. Hiding in warm places near the cpu heat sink and PSU
Love the X Box colour. I only saw a Steel Battalion controller for the first time yesterday in a video and now another.
i’m so tired.. just watched Joker 2 it was.. “HA HA” now it’s 11:13 and i’m watching the blue haired Aubrey Plaza 🥹💙
I'm convinced Dave is just The Most Interesting Man™️
Whaaaa Mountain Dew Xbox? Nice.
timelapse of the disassembly was 10/10
I could see you being in a future Scott Pilgrim movie.
Music choice is on point as always. Stay rad
Have a fun show and watch out for roaches!
Old Xbox's go hard, I'm glad I bought one even though i hardly play it.
Hey Sam and gang. Was watching the devastation from the hurricanes. That thing wrecked the coast. Hopefully you and friends and family all are okay! And that was an awesome 360 trade.... WOW
Yay, you found the gold controller!!
"bro", "dog", "brother". Lol
While I understand why you wouldn't take such consoles. Do you have any advice on getting them cleaned? Especially for people who don't normally take apart systems.
That original dragon warrior cartridge laying there is rad
I ❤️ Your Video My Brother Mark Has A Star Wars Style Xbox 360 Back Then And I Had A Black Nintendo Wii Back Then Came Along With New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
More great content of stuff and thing's! 😄
There is something about your videos, I just love the vibe and of course the rad blue hair Aubrey
I seen a medal of honor in there. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I liked medal of honor better than call of duty
Her last name was Radjunk the whole time?! lol
Ill take a roached Vetrex.

Dude that tank game rare find!!!!
I want to work in your store!
Wait he had xbox cds but not boxes? I put all my games in sleeves, but my game boxes are in boxes in my closet.
Use heat to remove packaging tape without damaging the box.
but you didn't blow into the cartridge, then warm exhale into it, then put it in and make it go up and down 10 times, power it up, then bop the top!?
Uploading in the eye of the storm! ⛈️
Luckily we were safe. However we are thinking about all of our friends in central Florida.
"GET IT OUT OF THE STORE NOW!" So grosssssssssss
Sony won't fix bug infested systems either.
Just cause there’s “Junk” in the name doesn’t mean Sam wants “Junk”consoles and stuff🤦🏼♂️😝
What is the thing we should never do?
I'm assuming the thing she means is "don't be bringing PS4 consoles in to the shop that are super gross or have cockroaches in"
@@georgewhite1972 guess we will never know
hello sam radjunk!
Roach PS4 makes me want my steamdeck to look like a radroach
I don't know what to tell you, I never lost HDDVD cords 🤷♂
Fb marketplace it geeeeebs!!!! That’s his only option hahahaha

I have the limited edition mountain dew console it's probably my favorite Xbox console it's a shame they never made a mountain dew controller
I tried steel battalion once the game was trash and they wanted 150$ for the game around 20 years ago, with that controller that was used for 0 other games
I have seen too many mountain dew xbox's for sale lately and suspect that someone is making reproductions. Be aware!
The Minecraft Xbox one s is probably one of my favorite console designs
My mom ordered a RE5 Xbox 360 for me for Chrsitmas from Sears and they didn't have enough to fulfill it and cancelled the order :( So I ended up with a Lego Batman x DiRT bundle. Lol
Wish I had the red one. I still have my Xbox 360.
Totally want the Star Wars themed Xbox…
So for real! I friggin’ WANT!
Love you so mooch ❤️🤜🤛
