DKoldies should know better by being honest and by confronting the criticism. The fact that they’re blatantly ignoring everything, and acting like our complaints aren’t valid speaks volumes. Also, just typing in “DKoldies” into TH-cam brings up hundreds of anti-DKoldies videos, so I don’t understand why they don’t listen to us instead of persisting with their humiliation fetish
Probably because if they admit to everything then it becomes real. Well real to them even though it's all objectively real. By them just ignoring it the issue is a non issue to them. Honestly at this point their best option is to just keep chugging along acting like nothing happened. We all know how trash they are but I doubt they care
Seriously, they should have responded by admitting fault and putting forward a promise of being better going forward and detailing exactly how they plan to do so. But instead they lied and ignored real issues, deleting comments with complaints and horror stories. Now they're a laughing stock.
I think it's actually cowardly that the owner won't face the drama. Like if Joey is just the SM media manager, he's getting all the heat for the boss's shortcomings.
If the practice is illegal which well I’m not gonna make that argument yet. But just to point out. If something illegal is going on NDA’s would be considered null and void
I’m not going to lie all of the DKO drama is better then half of the tv shows out rn 😂, tuning into these videos almost every day is like the biggest treat ever. So many twists and turns, the lore just gets deeper and deeper 😂
This is the kind of journalism we need nowadays. We need more people like Jacob R. and ReviewTechUSA exposing these scams and bringing accountability to unscrupulous businesses.
Not that strange honestly. Think about it like the bitcoin craze. The same was with the retromarket. Before the pandemic the prices were fair, because less people were interested. More people, more offers, meaning that the sellers would earlier understand what they have than before. Thus increasing the margin / costs.

For real, your exposé on DKO inspired me to take a job ACTUALLY refurbishing game consoles/accessories/games. I want to make sure other people don't get fleeced.
This is why you need skills to actually interview. You use so many words to express yourself or ask a question, my god dude. What a mental torture to go through this.
Watch Heckin' Steve's channel where he showed an old video from DKOldies of the owner speaking to some of the employees while they are working. An owner like that would make me go mad
Look, I think the company is total scum, but what if your job had you as the face of the company when you didn't have any real power? You either leave or leverage it into a big raise
At around 48:50 you talked about how they should come out and address their failures. They won’t. If they admit to wrongdoing they open them selves up to lawsuits. So they are just going to keep doubling and tripling down.
They are liable for legal action regardless if they admit to wrongdoing or not. They have been running a ‘sale’ on everything they sell forever and that’s illegal. If someone reported them to USA trading standards then they will be screwed
That's what I keep saying to myself. I've read probably hundreds of comments saying why don't they do this or do that if they would just apologize and I'm thinking that would literally make things worse from a legal standpoint almost admitting guilt or any wrong doing. At this point they still have the a few bad consoles got out excuse
I'm a bit conflicted because i agree the flak Joey has been getting is unfair because we know it's human nature, we instinctually blame the punching bag in front of us, we don't ususally see who's pulling the strings, and honestly i think nobody cares, takes a lot less thought to blame the person in front of us than it is to find the real puppeteer and what's funny is that the energy we waste coming up with theories and trying to justify dunkin on him is the same or even worse than finding the real deal. It's just like it's said, he's the face of DKoldies, while the big boss collects the dough, Joey is the meat shield and is dunked on even for stuff that he didn't do. I think a bold thing Joey does are the livestreans where he goes through the desks filled with orders and one thing that stroke me immediately was the fact that NOBODY was double checking the orders just to be sure. But i know, a job is a job and it is already tough as it is to get a job even more difficult it is to stay, but Joey... If you're really better than that, just leave the company, man!! I caught a lot of BS in my previous jobs that i had to keep quite about just to keep them, but enough is enough. Stop taking the shots for your boss, man.
I lost interest buying retro games, my last PS2 game that I bought was Spider-Man 2 and 3 back in 2021. It was just so expensive looking for games that you love to play.
After I foolishly sold the majority of my most expensive retro games 10 years ago I never had the desire to buy them back nor expand what was left of my game library. I just don't see the point. The point of video games is to play them and emulation does a good enough job for me to satisfy my craving to play. I collect vintage action figures as well and I find much greater satisfaction with that hobby than collecting retro games because they're different modes of stimulation. Everyone want's to be Shawn from RGT 85 or AVGN with wall to wall collections, but in this current market it's simply unattainable and unreasonable.
@@justbenelson I only buy games that would benefit me, but I never wanted to be a collector. I only had like 25 or less PS2 games. Collecting cards are my thing since it has values. (not about money though.)
i actually don't mind buying games from there. sure it depends, some prices are just too steep. i wanted to get The Sopranos Road to Respect for PS2, but it's over $60. no thanks. especially when it's just the disk. i will say i've bought 2 games from them that weren't too expensive and so far they work great. no scratches or anything. but i guess that's not much of a big deal since they probably have a machine to clean the scratches off disks, but still. and i prefer buying from DKoldies as opposed to my local gamexchange where 75% of the games i get don't even work and they have no way of testing them.
This is a good interview. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to explore and explain what is going on. Joey doesn't deserve all that hate. The owners should just man up and make this company what it should be. Clean the consoles, perhaps lower the prices and this will go away. Their prices are totally insane.
Good video/interview. Joey has been asked and said numerous times on his lives that he is not the owner so I would like to think people with common sense would understand that he doesn't make all the decisions.
if you guys have been watching dkoldies for a while then you should definitely know someone that used to be in their videos and it was Sam… you don’t see him in their videos anymore. maybe the former employee is this video could be him, or it could be someone else…
Meanwhile, DKOldies sells record amounts of consoles so people can make trending videos of their dirty consoles. They're laughing all the way to the bank.
I get the sense that that was a very recent former employee. The way he talks about employees being aware of the videos being made alludes to the controversial videos
I can almost bet that this is Sam, he hasn't been in their videos in a long awhile and I just compared a video of him with this voice and they match lol.
Just use a video of him and put a deeper voice filter on it and the way he talks boom and he is also not on the website mentioned anymore in the list of important employees.
How hard is it to to have a department that actually cleans and refurbishes every order that goes out that’s what they say they are doing and should be doing anyways!
Logistically it's pretty hard! Like it's been said in this channel and others, it might take an hour to truly refurbish a system. And then you have to find someone who knows how to do it. That costs money. They have a lot of overhead with their property and employees. I am NOT saying that what they're doing is right. It's not. But the costs associated with what they claim to do are higher than you might think.
Since DK is so adamant they refurbish consoles why not slap some cameras up in their workshop with time stamp to prove they do? That would end all speculation…how bout it DK?
All the people that paid for a refurbished console but got a non refurbished console needs to get together and file a lawsuit against DKLOdies for false advertising !!!!!!!!!!!
right? im puzzled by that if you can't even have something as basic as that for cleaning at a place like theirs then maybe you should start getting those supplies or just say the console is tested
Cause they never refurbished systems as they claimed in the first place. That's thier plan to make as much money as possible meanwhile spending the least on thier end
It's always good when the seller is a collector. They know what their own standards are and want to treat their customers with the same respect. I sold some videogame stuff briefly on ebay and I'd be more honest than smart sometimes. I'd add a note like "not a defect but dpad has no rocker by design. Can register false inputs if you push in the center of the dpad".
Only question that I really have is why can't these people ever show their face. Because as far as we know it's just some guy that you're having saying a script or running his mouth on the other side . That's just me playing The devil's advocate if I truly had something to say about somebody I'm not hiding behind the screen
Ngl, the people who even bother to click on these videos and hate are insane to me lol. Like why in the world are you defending a company with numerous accusations from TH-camrs with many and few subscribers. You don't need to comment and spread hate. Jacob, you seem like a genuinely great guy fr. Keep doing what your doing because I sure as heck appreciate people letting me know about companies scamming me for my hard earned money.
People get annoyed because they subbed for his other videos and for the last month he's just been milking dkoldies because he gets more views and money If he uploaded maybe 2-3 videos on them and then kept going with his other console videos people wouldn't have a problem but nope keeps milking them and deleted people's comments about it On top of all that the second he does it then reviewtechusa has to jump on it and copy and it's just annoying at this point that he would rather money and views over the fans who supported him for months/years on end and brought his stuff to support him
@@kaycee7913 People are going to hate someone no matter what. I learned that lesson. All Jacob is doing is showing enough evidence to prove DKOldies is a scam. Sometimes one video or even two videos isn't enough. Just because ReviewTechUSA joined the trend, doesn't mean he's doing it for views and money. Not everyone with a TH-cam channel are monetized, getting into the TH-cam Partner Program is optional. For all we know, in his mind, he was curious and wanted to test the company himself. Kreesky did the same thing and he even said that when making a video on the Nintendo 64 system he ordered. I could've made these videos too if I wanted to because why not? I could care less about making money. It's all about understanding people perspectives and gather evidence. If you think Jacob is beating a dead horse at this point because he created a full blown interview with a former employee, you should rethink your life choices. Either you want people to lose their money and get scammed by a company who's targeting nostalgic gamers looking for retro games or let people expose them and hope things change for the better. Unless you're indirectly defending DKOldies based on your comment.
I don't feel bad for Joey because he is the face of the controversy. I just hope he's being compensated properly and none of this is happening because of his status within his job. He is a face and there is a bigger person within DKOldies that has the authority to run their store the way that they do.
Yes but Joey is pushing this scam.. he knows everyday he goes to work that he’s lying on camera to millions of people and that he is a major scumbag. He is a front for this scam and is equally as responsible
I kind of do feel bad for Joey because “He is the face” who has a recognizable face. He is essentially all we see for the most part. I wouldn’t want to be Joey after all this controversy. Just never know, him being in the public n what could happen. Ppl take their frustrations out on the wrong ppl and thats facts.
Yes but he knows that consoles are not refurbished at this point, that the marketing isn't honest, and yet willingly chooses to keep going anyway. He's guilty too.
@@d1nky68 So it's OK to work for a website/company and publicaly lie in front of a camera because it's a job potentially helping scam money out of kids who watch the nonsense. He could work somewhere more ethical you know, just a thought.
No, really just hopping on the bandwagon for views. If they truly cared, they would be working together with lawyers to file a class action lawsuit. That actually takes work though and cost money.
@@davidm5966 Because it is the current flavor of the month to attack them. People talk talk and talk but never actually do anything about it. if they are so bad, put your $ where your mouth is and find a layer that will take the case which apparently isn't as easy as it appears. They sell a very nitch product to a very nitch market. Here's a crazy idea, don't like them, don't buy from them. Problem solved.
@@Alex-ws8kq No dude. Joey has said a multiple amount of times on their livestreams that Sam has taken some time off of DKOldies and they don't know if he will come back. It makes sense. Remember Sam's voice and focus on this employee's voice.
@@KamtaroDS Yeah it probably is him now that I think about it since it somewhat sounds like him when I like put this video to the dkoldies videos of Sam
He has he js removed from the website in the about section and find a video with him and use a deepter voice filter on it and the way he talks boom there is your Sam.
With the whole situation going on I’m surprised that people dont just do a chargeback on their credit cards (for those using credit cards and paypal of course, not debit). If you do a charge back on the card you get your money back, and then the company has to deal with the credit card company and prove that their service or product was done appropriately. If the service or product was not what was described they won’t get their money.
I’m getting bored of your daily DKOldies videos. Can we get a series on Denniscollects and how he commits highway robbery every video he posts about his trades?
Your getting bored but it's not your channel, you (One Person) don't dictate what goes on on this channel, if you wanna hear about that cornball your talking about go make you own channel and do it... 🤡🤡🤡
@@Jhoffa22_ you taking that comment too serious my guy. Take a breathe for a quick minute lmao looking the real clown out here taking time to respond to something not that serious
dk oldies thinks that people who buy from them are amateurs in video games/consoles (considering the prices and lack of proper cleaning) and they dont know to open or check any "refurbishment", but reality is theres also people who check these things and are upset theyre not getting what they were advertised. I dont think dk oldies are taking theyre business as serious as they should.
Im not an expert on electronics but why is a console warranty void if opened? Its pretty common now these days to want to clean the console, do companies just expect you to send it in to get cleaned, obviously for a price instead of cleaning it yourself?
I bought a backwards compatible PS3 from Lukie games a couple weeks ago.. video coming next Friday 👍

It's always good when the seller is a collector. They know what their own standards are and want to treat their customers with the same respect. I sold some videogame stuff briefly on ebay and I'd be more honest than smart sometimes. I'd add a note like "not a defect but dpad has no rocker by design. Can register false inputs if you push in the center of the dpad".
Only question that I really have is why can't these people ever show their face. Because as far as we know it's just some guy that you're having saying a script or running his mouth on the other side . That's just me playing The devil's advocate if I truly had something to say about somebody I'm not hiding behind the screen
you have to sign a paper when you work there so dk would probaly try to sue
There's another ex employee that's come out about DkOldies. He shows his face. He's a youngish dude that's into death metal.
you are always making my day better
The thumbnail makes it look like you and Joey are doing a podcast
Ngl, the people who even bother to click on these videos and hate are insane to me lol. Like why in the world are you defending a company with numerous accusations from TH-camrs with many and few subscribers. You don't need to comment and spread hate. Jacob, you seem like a genuinely great guy fr. Keep doing what your doing because I sure as heck appreciate people letting me know about companies scamming me for my hard earned money.
People get annoyed because they subbed for his other videos and for the last month he's just been milking dkoldies because he gets more views and money
If he uploaded maybe 2-3 videos on them and then kept going with his other console videos people wouldn't have a problem but nope keeps milking them and deleted people's comments about it
On top of all that the second he does it then reviewtechusa has to jump on it and copy and it's just annoying at this point that he would rather money and views over the fans who supported him for months/years on end and brought his stuff to support him
@@kaycee7913 People are going to hate someone no matter what. I learned that lesson. All Jacob is doing is showing enough evidence to prove DKOldies is a scam. Sometimes one video or even two videos isn't enough. Just because ReviewTechUSA joined the trend, doesn't mean he's doing it for views and money. Not everyone with a TH-cam channel are monetized, getting into the TH-cam Partner Program is optional. For all we know, in his mind, he was curious and wanted to test the company himself. Kreesky did the same thing and he even said that when making a video on the Nintendo 64 system he ordered. I could've made these videos too if I wanted to because why not? I could care less about making money. It's all about understanding people perspectives and gather evidence. If you think Jacob is beating a dead horse at this point because he created a full blown interview with a former employee, you should rethink your life choices. Either you want people to lose their money and get scammed by a company who's targeting nostalgic gamers looking for retro games or let people expose them and hope things change for the better. Unless you're indirectly defending DKOldies based on your comment.
Yo this is like a Mexican Telenovela 💀
Ikr
I used to work for DKOldies. I was the guy that packed the consoles with dust before they shipped out. I also pee on them. 😊
You forgot to pee on my Wii it didn’t come with the golden shower premium
@@Kermitgottagun That must be why they fired me! 🤯
DonkeyKongOwner: “Am I that out of touch!?”
*you’re out of touch! You’re out of time!*~
“Started I believe part time and went full time”…you don’t know??
I don't feel bad for Joey because he is the face of the controversy. I just hope he's being compensated properly and none of this is happening because of his status within his job. He is a face and there is a bigger person within DKOldies that has the authority to run their store the way that they do.
Yes but Joey is pushing this scam.. he knows everyday he goes to work that he’s lying on camera to millions of people and that he is a major scumbag. He is a front for this scam and is equally as responsible
I kind of do feel bad for Joey because “He is the face” who has a recognizable face. He is essentially all we see for the most part. I wouldn’t want to be Joey after all this controversy. Just never know, him being in the public n what could happen. Ppl take their frustrations out on the wrong ppl and thats facts.
@@Sega_is_all_i_cd that part.
Yes but he knows that consoles are not refurbished at this point, that the marketing isn't honest, and yet willingly chooses to keep going anyway. He's guilty too.
@@Sega_is_all_i_cd if he gets jumped he deserves it at this point. He’s pushing a scam.
I was really hoping to hear anything about the allegations that management is regularly drunk and/or high
Joey is just a side victim of the CEO nasty moves.
How is he a victim? Is he being forced at gunpoint to make videos?
@@CommodoreVic20 he would lose his job
@@CommodoreVic20 If he doesn’t listen to his boss he loses his job. It’s not that hard to comprehend.
The Owner Drew makes the decisions. Joey just follows the orders given.
@@d1nky68 So it's OK to work for a website/company and publicaly lie in front of a camera because it's a job potentially helping scam money out of kids who watch the nonsense.
He could work somewhere more ethical you know, just a thought.
Thanks for doing this Jacob R. Also, you just earned yourself another subscriber. 🔥👍🏾
Awesome interview and cool seeing you on Moist's channel. LOL CHARLIIIEEEEE
You and ReviewTexhUSA are doing justice!
No, really just hopping on the bandwagon for views. If they truly cared, they would be working together with lawyers to file a class action lawsuit. That actually takes work though and cost money.
@@Ryan_DeWitt why are you defending Dkoldies? They scam customers and are scumbags
@@davidm5966 Because it is the current flavor of the month to attack them. People talk talk and talk but never actually do anything about it. if they are so bad, put your $ where your mouth is and find a layer that will take the case which apparently isn't as easy as it appears. They sell a very nitch product to a very nitch market. Here's a crazy idea, don't like them, don't buy from them. Problem solved.
They are just getting easy views cause they can't make good content. They don't really care
This former DKOldies employee is Sam. His accent and voice sound way too similar to him, even with the filter on.
Kinda imposible Sam still in dkoldies yet no?
@@Alex-ws8kq No dude. Joey has said a multiple amount of times on their livestreams that Sam has taken some time off of DKOldies and they don't know if he will come back.
It makes sense. Remember Sam's voice and focus on this employee's voice.
@@KamtaroDS Yeah it probably is him now that I think about it since it somewhat sounds like him when I like put this video to the dkoldies videos of Sam
@@tomeydev9152 Right? Filter aside, Sam's voice has that a 'depth' to it, just like this employee's.
The world needs an interview with Joey now.
It’s Sam! Was wondering why he hadn’t been in the DK Oldies videos for a good bit. He must’ve quit
He has he js removed from the website in the about section and find a video with him and use a deepter voice filter on it and the way he talks boom there is your Sam.
I wouldn’t be surprised is DKOldies uploads a video called “We’re hiring at DKOldies!”.
With the whole situation going on I’m surprised that people dont just do a chargeback on their credit cards (for those using credit cards and paypal of course, not debit). If you do a charge back on the card you get your money back, and then the company has to deal with the credit card company and prove that their service or product was done appropriately. If the service or product was not what was described they won’t get their money.
they have started giving out more generous gifts in there shipping vids I bet the PR will be ramped up.
As far as I concerned the Japan game boy is fake because it's got the recycling symbols missing that are required by law
Is dkoldies a scam? Yes.
Is Joey allowed within 500 feet of schools? Probably not.
make that at least 1000 feet away
probably isnt allowed to be in eye sight of a kid
That's not fair and you know it
@@hectorg5809 cope.
@@euphoric70w7 lmao Joeys like the creepy uncle you wouldnt let your kids around at the Christmas party
Thank you for the video 🙏
Someone needs to do a Lawsuit against them and they will understand that's all
Next DK Oldies video "our current employees love working here"
Keep at it. This is interesting entertainment.
There definitely in panic mode right now.
Please keep making these videos
51:04 oh its perfectly fair to someone who lies to their customers.
The only game Joey from DK oldies wants to play is “hot coffee” with the owner
I’m getting bored of your daily DKOldies videos. Can we get a series on Denniscollects and how he commits highway robbery every video he posts about his trades?
Your getting bored but it's not your channel, you (One Person) don't dictate what goes on on this channel, if you wanna hear about that cornball your talking about go make you own channel and do it... 🤡🤡🤡
YES!! i hate denis collects. resellers are literally the worst
@@Jhoffa22_ you taking that comment too serious my guy. Take a breathe for a quick minute lmao looking the real clown out here taking time to respond to something not that serious
dk oldies thinks that people who buy from them are amateurs in video games/consoles (considering the prices and lack of proper cleaning) and they dont know to open or check any "refurbishment", but reality is theres also people who check these things and are upset theyre not getting what they were advertised. I dont think dk oldies are taking theyre business as serious as they should.
The voice changer makes this guy sound like Brendan Fraser.
Im not an expert on electronics but why is a console warranty void if opened? Its pretty common now these days to want to clean the console, do companies just expect you to send it in to get cleaned, obviously for a price instead of cleaning it yourself?
17:40 They start talking about the refurbishing process ;)
Jacob the kinda guy to say he's gunna stop talking about DKOldies then only talk about DKoldies, and release the same interview twice
And here you are still watching lol
Roblox ooooooffff. Robstrap got hit with the counter k.o
@@jrob0021 probably here to give a dislike, we're basically tired of hearing about dkoldies
@@iiTzSamurai your the type of person that would buy from dkoldies
@@iiTzSamurai dislikes help the algorithm as well, so go ahead 😂
Only thing I don't agree with is the lost of interest in videogames if you work in something related to it. To each their own basically.
They have only scratched the surface.
Lukie Games is even worse of a company. They have dozens off sock puppet accounts and used to rip off small Ebay sellers myself included
