I know people do it for content why even bother when everybody knows they are a scam.
They are giving DKoldies more promotion doing these videos.😂
@@colonelhstinkmeaner8547more bad promotion
@colonelhstinkmeaner8547 lol alot of them I see talking to them our bad lol
1. Why would you buy from them?
2. Did you learn a lesson from getting scammed?
For content bro, he is a RUclipsr
@@shto4782 dude it was a rhetorical question, to be not answered
@@TheEricJBotelho84 why did you ask than bro
@@shto4782 smh another one who doesn't get it
@@TheEricJBotelho84 getting old maybe. I don't understand little kids in the comments
So I don't even know why he complained about the controller being half black that looks really cool
I originally thought to myself how does D.K. Oldies stay in business but with what their charging they probably have stacks of cash selling crappie systems for high prices
The problem is there’s probably grandparents that fall for stuff like this not knowing they’re basically being ripped off and scammed
True don't forget they're trick people on there sales.lol@lewisgrant7622
They scam people twice: when they buy stuff and when they resell them. I suspect they have huge margins
selling to people that don't know better or know what ebay is lol.
DkOldies deserves to be criticized if they actually screwed the pooch on this, however, it was in your best interest to actually hook this console up and test it. Actually receiving the wrong console is a pretty big issue. Gamecubes are region-locked and run at a different voltage according to region. Japanese 'Cubes also only have support for one language in the settings--which is Japanese. Therefore, you'd be able to instantly confirm whether or not you actually got the wrong thing or if the console you got was a lazy shell-swap. If it were the latter, that honestly wouldn't be much of an issue compared to them lying and sending a Japanese one instead of a US one.
You should do a video going to DK Oldies store and talk to Joey and the DKO Family.
Crackhead joey and dkn family is more like it
Lol are you able to purchase instore
@@Svnfoldyes
Was it at least region switched, you didn’t even show us what region it loads into the menu 💀💀
Your order did not get picked to be filmed 👀
I'm grateful to you for showing me your VIDEOS you are a cool honest person
Them prices!!!!!! 🤯🤯
they call those prices a sale 😂
Everyone is scamming these days when it comes to buying and selling games and systems. I can’t believe the prices for shit and this dumb grading system that makes people believe their games are worth thousands of dollars. It’s insane.
Was planning on buying from the a huge order and I knew it was overpriced but for where I live its really hard to find retro gaming stuff and to find all I want in one place bc its easier but I'll definitely pass on them I don't want to overpay and get stuff like these
The prices of Dk oldies are HIGHER THAN OF BRAZIL, one of the worst countries to buy videogames. come on ... total scam
I bought an N64 from there one time.. I paid for the condition to be good with no appearance issues. It came with scuff mark and huge scratch. They emailed me back after I requested to return and they said that I need to specifically request a console in collectors condition with no flaws 😂😂 even though it’s the same price
Gamecube is region locked. Is it modded? Will it even load that Shrek 2?
Is GameCube region locked?
Yes
@@Mr.X---47 yikes
Yes, but there is a way to unlock it. But knowing dk oldies they probably didn’t do it.
We know they are overpriced, we know they come dirty.
But you should have showed their warranty sticker on the GameCube when you pulled it out of the box / opened it. Didn’t see that on it anywhere.
I think they stopped doing those stickers awhile back because people were complaining about them
@@RetroVideoGamePickups prob not only complaining but also the void warranty sticker are also illegal
@@waynekline6798 How are they illegal ? They just aren't legally binding .
@@bryanobrien2726 That makes them illegal. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act made any means of withholding warranty due to end user maintenance illegal. The whole point of the stickers is that the company wants to enforce it, so it's fundamentally illegal. That said, your only recourse in the event of losing that warranty is to sue them... so if it's impossible to enforce, so it's only illegal for people that can afford legal fees lol
@@bryanobrien2726Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. That’s why it’s illegal. Look it up and read into it if you’re curious what it protects consumers on and prevents sellers from doing.
Love the dk oldies and that pops up watching this 😂
Maybe the discoloration is from cleaning chemicals?
It's not. That type of discoloration is a form of damage to the outer shell, likely sun damage. It's quite common to see when scouring through listings of Gamecube controllers and it's a clear sign that they weren't well taken care of over the years.
They swapped the case and you never tried to see if it works and it’s not a scam Amazon charges it closely the same price
You should have really tried the console out they could have physically modded it so I can play American games there's a way to do some soldering so then it accept American games also they could have just swapped out components the board could have been bad on the American one and use the Japanese shell it was a little bit better condition.
I bought a ds from a place from the gaming vault and good cost
There are so many videos on youtube about DKO and yet you order there. They are known for scamming people bro.
Crazy that good ol Joey says they thoroughly test and clean their overpriced consoles only to found it hey it’s literal dog pile of shit that has glitter on it. It sucks that this guy makes so much of this
It’s hit or miss but they do tax
You do know that some Japanese GameCubes have had their region code changed to USA right?
$45 for a used Wii mario cart …. scam
When you can mod the will for free
Lol that looks like it doesn't even work it's all scratched
Bros literally planting false into to people and making them hate dkoldies
Selling a region-locked GameCube shows they never even tested the thing. DK is just an ebay flipper, and a terrible one at that. Ugh.
definitely return it thats horrible
You can thank wata games and heritage auctions for directly manipulating the market to inflate prices for profit gain. Also that controller definitely came from a house fire can tell by the black coloring and the rusty screw on the same side
Destroying the earth, one packing peanut at a time lol
Your wallet suffered just so we don't make the same mistake. We appreciate your sacrifice and to remember never buy from DK. Thank you sir 👍
So will this not work with US games?
No
Hi Retro Video Game Pickups You Should Try To Play A Physical Version Of Disney Dreamvalley For Ps4 And Ps5 In The Future
So where can i buy n64 games for a cheaper price ?
Youre not getting original carts for cheap anymore. Better off with an Everdrive.
DK Oldies more like UK Moldies
Do you look like you need another video game
$80-$100 for a ps2? I need a link all the ps2 I see for sale go from $100 to $200 and it's always a closer to $200 range
eBay has a TON of them. Local stores usually have them for cheap too or if they end up in a thrift shop pawn shopt theyre cheap too.
I sell half that price
you literally dont need to lie for content
DK oldies is trash 🗑️
we know that
@@dearsirdearyou4153 cool
Yeah Dk Moldies is pure trash 😂
Easy lawsuit .
They probably just switched the shell on the GameCube because if they get a broken console traded in they use the shell for other consoles so you could have hooked it up to see if it worked
Edit: how do you know that the cords are cheap and bad if you didn’t try them. That brand is good quality
10% is nothing lol
WoW🤯.
This was a fun video, i like how chill he was about everything
The funny thing is I looked at their website and “acceptable” states- Acceptable systems are in used condition with cosmetic flaws such as chipping, scratching and/or discoloration but fully functional. So you bought a console and controller in “acceptable” condition…so ultimately you got exactly what you paid for. It’s not even hidden the description is right under the console.
Bruh you need some milk
They probably just swapped a Japanese shell onto a US system; weird you didn't even bother hooking in the system at all here.
The shell was shit. Who tf would use that instead of a better one?
@@BrianHeriotjust because the shell is from Japan doesn’t make it bad
@@Mr_rice12345 op said maybe they swapped a Japanese shell onto a US system. But the shell looks absolutely terrible with scratches and huge marks all over it. The originating country has nothing to do with it. Japan has arguably one of the best looking gamecubes with the orange spice color.
There’s no doubt the accessories and game came from DK and maybe the controller but the console is sus.
There’s no holo tag that they put on all consoles even if it’s just a wipe down. They also use bubble wrap and paper since those peanuts aren’t too appreciated with PA sales and ship.
The “acceptable systems” are often cosmetically flawed but are internally refurbished and warrantied for a month.
I’ve bought several things from them and some weren’t perfect but they did make it right in the end so, if this was a indeed a system you purchased from them and didn’t open up the box from the bottom and swap out for the video so it looked unopened, then why not reach out to them and seek a resolution instead of smearing them?
Everything is from them, I opened the box on camera and showed the receipts haha
@@RetroVideoGamePickupshave you heard of taking out of the box and putting into other box 🤯
@@Mr_rice12345what you on about fr
Mine works fine
Aren't all GameCube Japanese technically.... I know this probably means region locked but I'm only a couple minutes into the video
Technically you are correct lol but yeah Gamecube has region lock.
It's not hard to make it region free tbh.
Lmfao
Defintley sucks!!!
I love how you are lying for content a trying to ruin dkoldies I know there prices aren’t the best but they NEVER give you packing peanuts and where’s the stickers at and the biggest thing of all is that they never sell Japan or region locked consoles and my proof I’ve called them and asked them just to make sure the the stickers they still put them on your ordered cosmetically flawed you know exactly what your doing
You probably followed a scam link and got someone pretending to be dk oldies.
Dude I’ve known dkoldies for years and they would never do there stuff like this
I really hope this is sarcasm lol
@@reconegade4006 um it’s really not I’m being foreal
You sure cause hell Yk Jacob r he got scammed hella times
dude stop complaining theres people who buy power cords from dkoldies original and dk ran out of the same with av cords just check if the system works or not and the controller you selected a
acceptable system
$30 is a great deal for any Gamecube game now. Those are getting so hard to get physically
Wow you
Need to learn to edit.
It’s an unboxing and review video, why does it need lots of editing?
You complain too much. Just stop
