      SO, I've recently bought a Xbox Original, Wii(GameCube Compatible), Wii U, PS2, PS3(Super Slim), and Xbox 360( Slim with 250 or something i forgot) ALL for 370 dollars All of these had OEM controller and 2 each, but for the Original Xbox, and it came with a OEM and 1 generic knock off..... which is honesty better.

    Retro vGames having a 121 day warranty while DKOldies has a 120 day warranty is literally just that SpongeBob episode where The Krusty Krab is open for 24 hours because The Chum Bucket is open for 23 hours.

    I bought a 360 Slim from Ebay because I was interested in refurbishing consoles, and it will filled with black dust (it was mainly on the plastic cover inside). My first assumption was that it was inside a building that was on fire but the strangest thing is that it didn't smell or anything. The funniest thing is that it worked, I had to change the thermal paste which is expected but I had no idea what that black dust was from.

    I agree, absolutely disgusting and shameful.. (company even more than the console.)

    A big issue with consoles and they still do it to this day is negative air pressure for cooling.

It pulls air from every little gap rather than pushing through one inlet

      Many businesses have drop shipping agreements in place. It’s not always predatory like you see in this case. For example… Manufacturer is good at making product, bad at marketing and selling. Manufacturer makes agreement with a business that is good at selling products. Then Business sells product to customer, but manufacturer ships straight to customer. There you go, drop shipped. You’re forgetting about an entire segment of the market.

    Is it me or did backwards compatible PS3's used to be more expensive? I'm looking right now on ebay and they seem to be floating around the $200 mark, which has me pretty suprised tbh.

    This has been going on for ages, refurbished consoles are only truly sold from hobbyists. Shops don’t refurbish I once bought a bc from uk, from adkowa_0, there was even written that the necs had been replaced and it was delidded. When it arrived console still had the warranty sticker on. When I messaged the seller, he kept repeating it was refurbished. Lost cause.

    This is from their FAQ
    What condition are your products in?
    99% of what we sell is pre-owned refurbished as a retro gaming store. Many items are 10, 20, or 30+ years old and have been out of production for a long time. However, everything sold is thoroughly tested & working and is in overall good/refurbished condition. Some 3rd party controllers, wires, and accessories listed or included in bundles are in new condition. We do have to brand new options of modern consoles (ps4/5, Nintendo switch, xbox one) available for purchase.

    My friend once bought me a "working" "refurbished" ps3 controller from RetroVgames. It was a real ps3 dualshock.. But.... there was issues. I dont fully know how to explain it. But it seems like they opened the controller and somehow wired the RB button to Square on the controller. While playing RE5 a game you aim with RB with if i presser Sqaure my character would aim.... yeah we returned that controller.

    I bought a ps2 one game and a n64 controller from this website and the game never came until I email them stating that I didn’t receive the game . They send a modded ps2 with a 3 party controller not working and console was in Chinese. Hat to buy another ps2 with original controller for 100 just to see if the console they send me would work and actually did just had to change language . But honestly very sketchy store I will rather but from

    You should try dkoldies wii u, 1 wii u out of 3 has a faulty nand (storage) chip from the brand hynix that has a very hight failure rate, if they send a faulty one that should definitely be considered a scam because all hynix wii u have a limited lifespan.
    It would be really interesting if dkoldies at least checked the nand, and in order to do this you either need to take it apart or mod it, and since dkoldies are "refurbishing" them they should know the brand.
    At the very least they should clarify if the console has the faulty chip and discounting it.

    Ok so I've been here in person. I live 30 mins away lmao. They were hiring and I had applied only to find out that they pay very little compared to the area, the hours are terrible, and when I went in and browsed around the shop, which is very very small, the prices were all over the place. I picked up final fantasy tactics for the gba for 20 bucks which at the time was about standard price, but they were offering 30 bucks for copies of pokemon fire red, and selling them loose for 150. Emerald loose for 250 same with crystal. It was a very odd place with prices just all mucked up.

    Geez. I've got a brand new PS4 Piano Black 80Gb (non BC) model. I might have opened it to make sure it powered on at the time- but I can't remember. .. I'd be more than happy to sell it for 400. I also have an unopened PS2 Slim. At the time, I picked them up (at diff times obv.) when they were deeply price cut as their support was ending (The PS3 fat was when the slims were around and nobody wanted the fats).
