      Yep, because they don't think they need to. They're raking in the cash with minimal effort, and that has worked for them up to this point. Not refurbishing anything means they have much more time to make video shorts of themselves playing stupid games, like seeing if Joey can spot all the obviously fake cartridges in however many seconds.

      I watched a video where a guy went into what it would take to truly refurbish each console..10 years experience rebuilding consoles ... can't remember his name... but he showed special workstations for safely removing processors and handling bords for specific consoles it's guided arms and whatnot for tools ... their video where they use some simple screwdrivers to replace a laser reader and using vacuum attachments might be the extent of their ability

      They dont' have the knowledge or talent to do actual refurbish jobs. Its super hard to actually have someone that can reball any board. Replace swollen capacitors. Most repair shops wont ever touch refurbish jobs that require that much work, and if they actually happen to take it. theres a good change they have to ship out the console to a specialist because the tech to reball is quite expensive and hard to do.

    I usually wouldn't watch so many videos about one topic in a row, but I've watched every one of your videos on dkoldies, fascinates me. Does America not have any sort of 'trading standards' like here in the UK. If we have trouble with a retailer, we can get them involved, and if loads of people complain to them, they can take action against that retailer through the courts. That's obviously not the Wii they showed in their 'refurbishment' video, this one must have somehow got missed, I'm sure ;)

    Worth noting, they put the DKOldies sticker where you're supposed to be able to access the CMOS battery which keeps the internal clock operating when the system is powered off.

In fact, I don't Nintendo has ever used a sticker on any of their systems to tell if someone opened up a system or not except the Switch.

    If they faced lawsuits over the refurbishment cost they'd go bankrupt fast
