@@matanfgaming640stores like that should be banned immediately especially when they sell you faulty PS2 discs I’ve been there and I always double check the disc before leaving the store/vender because it’s their problem not yours and have every right to be given an exchange or refund
yeah CEX is like that over here in Australia, the prices they ask for certain games and systems is ridiculous when you consider the condition they’re in. Plus they have a habit over here to keep increasing the prices of games a little each time
@@matanfgaming640exactly like? They not even remotely like. Cex has 100s of stores you can see what you buy. They dont do any refurbishment…what a moronic take.
CeX doesn't do more than a visual inspection of Discs, in contrast they open SNES Cartridges and perform a full inspection. Likewise all Consoles go through a more rigorous testing procedure. Long story short buy Cartridges and Consoles from them, not discs. 😃
Thanks for the update, Mattie. I think I'd rather shop at one of my local game stores, for anything used, rather than through a large-scale online reseller.
Same, they're not cheap but they're generous with throwing in freebies when I buy multiple games and the ps2 i got from them looks practically brand new
@lolcat generous? If they charge $200 more than a competitor and throw in a $5 plushie is that generous? And 1% get freebies. It's a marketing ploy. You must be very gullible
"The prices are high but it's the customers decision" - misses the point. People bought consoles for high prices which claimed to be refurbished. But when they opened them up nothing was refurbished at all. You did not open your PS3 so this question stays unanswered.
Think this is a fair point, but I want to clarify I was coming from the angle of people who know what DKOldies is which is an overpriced brand. Not saying it invalidates your comment, but hopefully makes a lil more sense of where I was coming from.
I’d like to see Matty open the PS3 & DS if at all possible. I understand he’s said in the past that’s not something he normally does but as other people have pointed out we simply don’t know as to the extent on how much they’ve “changed” until we can see the consoles opened & properly inspected. It didn’t look like it on the 3DS from what I saw but were there “warranty” stickers on anything? Besides if so then that should tell you everything you need to know about the legitimacy of DKOldies
@50086gtincorrect. DKoldies used to claim all the time that they opened and cleaned/ refurbished consoles. People would then open them to find out that was a lie. From your average joe to RUclipsrs, called them out.
Crazy prices. A pawn shop down the road from me is giving these away for $50. I bought one a couple months back with a controller and all cords. Looks as good as this one and have had no issues with it.
Found a ps3 super slim for 100$ CIB with two controllers but it tends to overheat and shuts off after awhile unfortunately, have it collecting dust and got my friends ps3 slim for 40
Recently, I've been noticing that comments criticizing them on recent videos have been getting moderated. Have only found a reply criticizing them on a popular video. Kinda odd how they decide to moderate and half the time never respond to criticism instead they either delete the comment outright or pick the low hanging fruit or easy arguments instead of addressing major issues.
DK Oldies is notorious for this. The better way to save money would be to safely disassemble consoles and restore them back into perfectly functional devices built to last and play your favorite games for years to come (as long as you know exactly how to do it) or buy replacement consoles in much cleaner and better functional conditions for lower prices on other marketplaces.
Thank you for making a new and improved version of the video I felt like this version was a big step up from the old version with much better presentation and quality thanks again for taking time to re upload the video and have a great day man.
Matt the problem is no sane and normal person will give them another chance after wasting more than 150$....that's a youtuber thing with a lot money to waste😉
Elliot Coll posted a few months ago about how DKOldies probably saved his information after his first video and sent him better condition items than what he ordered the second time. Maybe they also recognized you as someone who'll make a video on them and sent you better stuff than what they would've shipped otherwise. They have a list of content creators who've ordered and made videos on them in the past.
Was legit pulling my hair out of my head while watching the original video Hahahah glad you took the time to do your due diligence and fix thing up. Your the man Matty!
I just got through finishing ratchet tools of destruction for the first time and had the game backlogged for years. I needed a break and popped it in and i had so much fun not thinking about the next platinum for awhile
I think some of their practices are very scummy and specially the "discounts" creating these fake discount numbers making people believe they got a "deal" and not cleaning the consoles from the inside. They are essentially resellers, like the ones on eBay, only that on these websites you can find the exact same console or game for much cheaper but then again your money, your decision, we can give people only good advices that's it.
Idk what the laws are in the states but supermarkets in my country got investigated for doing this exact thing because claiming something is on sale when it's not is illegal in my country
@@jamiemarshall4738 Yeah, I think in most states, countries this should be illegal. What they were also doing before was putting warranty stickers on their products even though warranty stickers are not legal any longer and you should be able to open the device whenever you like, they would also put the sticker smartly were the screws are so that you can't avoid not to peel it off. Is not illegal to put them on but they also have no standing in court, they just put them to scare people of opening the system, have I said that I do believe they huge backlash did make DKOldies change some of their bad practices, of course to avoid losing money and honestly I think most people are better of buying consoles or games from a different retro store, if you really have a problem buying games or consoles directly from a private individual, but hey your money your decision.

@@jamiemarshall4738 Yeah, I think it is illegal in most places. There is no way the "original price" of a let's say PS3 is 300 or 400 Dollar before discount, the "discount" is the actual real price of the console, you will never see the "original price" without a discount attached to it.
@@jamiemarshall4738 There is no way the "original price" of a let's say PS3 is 300 before discount (before this video a year ago I remember their discounts to be even bigger like from 400 dollar to 150), the "discount" is the actual real price of the console, don't get tricked lol. Also these are used consoles not retail ones, how do you determine these original prices? When I look at their website every time I see only discounts I don't think I have seen once a console sell for the "original price" I can be wrong though.
Gamestop's problem is they don't specifically say if you are getting original boxes or not. I've had so many games that have showed up in GameStop boxes and not the original boxing. At least with DK oldies we are paying the same price as GameStop and they describe if it's game only game complete or game and box
I feel like buying from a seller that doesnt post pics of the actual item thats being sold and not just stock photos can be a total luck of the draw on what you get. Its why I prefer Mercari/eBay or better yet in person at retro stores/GameStop or conventions.
I’ve gotten some great games at amazing prices complete in excellent condition from the DK oldies store. They may not be the best store to hunt for the grail in your collection, but they can sure help fill in the gaps.
Great videos. Random question... Where did you get those rotating bookshelves from? Looked on amazon and couldn't find one as clean as the ones you have for your games. Thanks!
Not gunna lie , when the pressure finally died down of DKOldies about a year ago , I started sending them broken consoles intentionally ; specifically PlayStation 3 slims and the first model Xbox ones . With the shipping that they pay up front ( which is like $18-20 you don’t have to worry about in your behalf ) and then depending on how desperate they are to canibalize a broken console … I was selling broken PS3s that couldn’t power on ( no yellow light at all, just straight up wouldn’t power at all ) $40-60 and that’s outside of DKOldies paying the shipping Xbox Ones anyware from $17-45 So they’ll take a broken console as long as you send them pictures , accept a realistic praisal , and if you can tell them ahead of time what exactly is wrong , they’ll usually commit to the exchange and pay the shipping . Now … if you plan on buying consoles / games from them … that is totally on you …. Which I personally would never do that
Ordered mw3 for ps3, would freeze on the intro. Could skip but would freeze loading into any gamemode and thought my ps3 was cooked. Got a new copy from amazon and worked perfect so I returned the dk copy I got for $10 back to Amazon and got refunded $30. Thanks dk oldies
The only purchase I made from them were a couple of PS3 games that looked so good they felt brand new from 2009. Never got any consoles tho so I can only speak to the games I got
Star Wars Battlefront on the DS is a throwback. I never had a psp so I imagined the game would be just like Battlefront on the go but for the DS… and I was wrong lol. It was a solid game from what I can remember but it’s definitely one of those inferior third party ports to Nintendo consoles from back in the day.
Honestly i completely forgot that the ds had to be turned off before the game was inserted. Yes prices are high at dkoldies and itsva shame but unfortunately thats kinda how retro gameing has become.
DK Oldies is indeed expensive. But not as expensive as Phoenix Resale prices on Amazon. His prices are insane (yet sell well because some buyers are dumb).
No, the issue was the prices for what they said were refurbished. He bought non refurbished systems this time and just the outer look alone proves that they at least for his order gave a little love to them this time around.
@@KRIAJK you dont know what youre talking about...all dkoldies system claim to be refurbished...his order in the vid literally says refurbished. dont comment if you dont know what youre talking about
I have always had good luck with DKOldies games. To this date I have never bought a system from them, so I cannot speak to that really. The only game I did have was an original NES Legend of Zelda gold cart that had broken plastic on the bottom corner. Honestly though, the game still works. I do like eBay more so as you said, you get to see images of what your actually getting ahead of time for the most part.
They usually tend to send things in better condition on bigger orders out of fear that it'll be reviewed on RUclips. Try making smaller orders to different addresses, and you'll see a difference.
17:47 yeah it’s good they all work and that but you are missing the point of the whole ‘DK Oldies Saga’ which is do they actually open up the consoles and refurbish them like they advertise they do?.. You need to open up your DS and see if it’s actually clean inside.
They do that because it makes these RUclips channels thousand of dollars by making videos about them, if it wasn’t for that, these RUclips channels wouldn’t buy from them to make hit pieces, it’s actually a very smart strategy, it gives people reason to buy because there going to make thousands and RUclips videos
Still a scam, if you want to get their real colors hide your RUclips account and find out because there are far more vids showing that they are truly con artists and scammers
I can absolutely tell you that all 3 Rogue Squadron games (1 on N64 and 2 on GameCube) are great games! I used to play all three of them often, they are still the best (in my opinion) Star Wars aerial combat games.
The prices being high is also an issue because they can artificially inflate the market by keeping their prices high, so it hurts all of us even if we don't shop there. Also, for 160 bucks or whatever, that PS3 should have been flawless. I wouldn't consider that acceptable, given that I could easily find a cheaper unit for less, either locally or online. I'm still very skeptical of these guys, their prices are still routinely higher than any other retailer, and their whole 'sale price' nonsense, where everything is "20% off" is scummy. Most of that is so horrifically overpriced before their never ending sale prices that they're clearly just manipulating their customers into thinking this stuff is a good deal.
Good thing I have years of experience safely disassembling my favorite classic consoles (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, GameCube) and safely performing any maintenance needed (cleaning parts, replacing parts as needed, etc.) to keep them as perfectly functioning machines built to last and play games for years to come. It saves a lot more money than buying from DK Oldies, who's inflating the retro gaming market.
The funny thing is, I left a comment on the Dk oldies channel today asking them on why they don’t refurbish consoles. The social media guy told me he’s only been there since May and he’s seen them open up systems and repair them. I then left a link to one of Jacob’s Rs videos that shows a filthy ps3 sold by them. Instead of explaining they just removed the link.
DK Oldies isn't as bad as everyone says but they also aren't as good as they think they are. Will I use them? Yes, if sparingly. I probably won't buy a console from them unless it's a bargain and everywhere else has crap deals.
Nah Matty, Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty never got trophy support, A Crack in Time was the first PS3 R&C to get them. Hoping then eventually get PS+ Classic versions with trophy support.
There definitely is a market for a good, trusted company to sell graded used games online. The fact that you could either get a CIB or a disc in a paper sleeve for the same price at Gamestop is stupid af.
LOL love this question, so here's a thorough answer as it's something I started this year: Before a shower, I use a few drops of Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil around the scalp and let it sit for around 10 minutes. Shampoo once with just finger tips and massage the scalp, then rinse it out without finger combing my hair. Shampoo a second time with a little more except now I use a scalp massager to gently get it in once the suds build up. Wash it out again without finger combing and then I use conditioner. Let that sit for a couple of minutes, turn the water cold, and rinse it out the same way I do as the shampoo! Otherwise, not much else. Use a microfiber towel to dry my hair, let the rest airdry. Usually I comb it back completely and then part it with my fingers once it has dried a little. I use the Raw Sugar scalp restore from Target for both shampoo and conditioner. Hope this helps!
I'd never buy from DK oldies just because I'm poor. I have sold them games through the mail though. A couple years ago I sold them part of my Xbox 360 collection. I shopped around for the best price for my games and DK oldies was actually the highest. They paid me almost 3x what anyone else offered me including GameStop and Stone age gamer. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. DK oldies was very nice and professional while paying me good money for my games. I still won't even consider buying anything from them. I enjoyed the video thanks.
Thanks again for the Nintendo DS save, y'all! That dang 3DS clearly had me spoiled rotten.
I'm British and let me tell you we have a store here exactly like DK oldies called CeX or if you want to say it properly the advert says sex anyways I buy my retro games from them there only now and even that is putting an unnecessary risk on my pockets because I bought a series X there when the scalpelers were a terror.....

Fast edit. Quickdraw Matty!
Why would it matter if they’re repurposing GameStop cases if they’re at least removing the sticker residue?
I mean, giving DKOldies a first chance was already a bad idea to begin with, let alone a second one
There’s a translation team working on an English patch for the 2nd Naruto RPG game that was never released in the west, should keep an eye on it
Gotta love that unboxing music
Great videos.
Random question...
Where did you get those rotating bookshelves from? Looked on amazon and couldn't find one as clean as the ones you have for your games.

In that moment he made star killer no longer just a character but HIS character. Definitely deserved .

With the shipping that they pay up front ( which is like $18-20 you don’t have to worry about in your behalf ) and then depending on how desperate they are to canibalize a broken console … I was selling broken PS3s that couldn’t power on ( no yellow light at all, just straight up wouldn’t power at all ) $40-60 and that’s outside of DKOldies paying the shipping
Xbox Ones anyware from $17-45
So they’ll take a broken console as long as you send them pictures , accept a realistic praisal , and if you can tell them ahead of time what exactly is wrong , they’ll usually commit to the exchange and pay the shipping .
Now … if you plan on buying consoles / games from them … that is totally on you …. Which I personally would never do that

17:47 yeah it’s good they all work and that but you are missing the point of the whole ‘DK Oldies Saga’ which is do they actually open up the consoles and refurbish them like they advertise they do?.. You need to open up your DS and see if it’s actually clean inside.
I bought 7 wii games there prices were pretty cheap
Did a double take when I heard the jazz version of hoshi to bokura to in the background. Nice taste!
7:49 NSpace are the same company that made the DS versions of Toy Story 3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
I bought two games from DKoldies for $11. Should arrive Friday, Batman Forever and Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt.
Man nice to know there still a scam years later
I honestly really like DK oldies they have always treated me well
Is that The Consouls I hear in the background??? 😮
Not a scam, but way overpriced.
That's a scam with sprinkles on top
@@SataniaMcDowel selling something over priced is not a scam
They do that because it makes these RUclips channels thousand of dollars by making videos about them, if it wasn’t for that, these RUclips channels wouldn’t buy from them to make hit pieces, it’s actually a very smart strategy, it gives people reason to buy because there going to make thousands and RUclips videos
Still a scam, if you want to get their real colors hide your RUclips account and find out because there are far more vids showing that they are truly con artists and scammers
@@jsmith3946 But it is a scam to claim doing a service while not doing it which they are doing
20:22 yes, Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike is good and bad
Where was the DKOldies warranty seal on the PS3??
I can absolutely tell you that all 3 Rogue Squadron games (1 on N64 and 2 on GameCube) are great games! I used to play all three of them often, they are still the best (in my opinion) Star Wars aerial combat games.
I’d like to see you cover the rogue squadron games!
Yeah man wow there stuff is really expensive, I just looked for the first time. Jesus that’s absolutely ludicrous prices
Hey Matty I’d love to see you cover the classic Batman game “Batman Vengeance” for the PS2. One of my favorite games as a kid 🔥
Bought Gears 2 and 3 and they both came in a weird aftermarket case that doesn’t match any of my other 360 cases 🙃
10:55 I think dk upped the brightness on the screens
The prices being high is also an issue because they can artificially inflate the market by keeping their prices high, so it hurts all of us even if we don't shop there. Also, for 160 bucks or whatever, that PS3 should have been flawless. I wouldn't consider that acceptable, given that I could easily find a cheaper unit for less, either locally or online. I'm still very skeptical of these guys, their prices are still routinely higher than any other retailer, and their whole 'sale price' nonsense, where everything is "20% off" is scummy. Most of that is so horrifically overpriced before their never ending sale prices that they're clearly just manipulating their customers into thinking this stuff is a good deal.
Good thing I have years of experience safely disassembling my favorite classic consoles (PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, GameCube) and safely performing any maintenance needed (cleaning parts, replacing parts as needed, etc.) to keep them as perfectly functioning machines built to last and play games for years to come.
It saves a lot more money than buying from DK Oldies, who's inflating the retro gaming market.
I have a question about the ds covers here in Europe we have them clear plastic covers but by you guys in the USA it is a dark variant so how is that?
The funny thing is, I left a comment on the Dk oldies channel today asking them on why they don’t refurbish consoles. The social media guy told me he’s only been there since May and he’s seen them open up systems and repair them. I then left a link to one of Jacob’s Rs videos that shows a filthy ps3 sold by them. Instead of explaining they just removed the link.
To be fair, youtube itself auto removes most links posted in the comments unless it's one of those special content creator links.
If you're not opening them up you have no idea if they were properly refurbished or not
W video. W content creator. W channel
DKOldies is an extremely luxury online game shop.
70$ for a FAT DS is about the average price online.
U have to buy well known games too with the systems to see if it's worth it
I thought that Ratchet and Clank game looked familiar. I have it .Mine is Greatest Hits in a red case but same excellent game.
DK Oldies isn't as bad as everyone says but they also aren't as good as they think they are. Will I use them? Yes, if sparingly. I probably won't buy a console from them unless it's a bargain and everywhere else has crap deals.
Hopefully, there is no man juice this time around!
I wonder if the clean inside of the ps3
I sell to oldies on occasion and they have gotten pickier on what they take in.
Did this go private and come back, it cut out for me while I was watching
I've looked em up. They don't have cib.
Will we maybe be seeing a ratchet and clank retrospective soon 🔜 😊
Nah Matty, Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty never got trophy support, A Crack in Time was the first PS3 R&C to get them. Hoping then eventually get PS+ Classic versions with trophy support.
There definitely is a market for a good, trusted company to sell graded used games online. The fact that you could either get a CIB or a disc in a paper sleeve for the same price at Gamestop is stupid af.
We love a good comeback story. They still have a lot of trust to earn back, but this is a good start.
Hey, Matty. This is a weird and offtopic question, but what is your haircare routine?
LOL love this question, so here's a thorough answer as it's something I started this year:
Before a shower, I use a few drops of Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil around the scalp and let it sit for around 10 minutes. Shampoo once with just finger tips and massage the scalp, then rinse it out without finger combing my hair. Shampoo a second time with a little more except now I use a scalp massager to gently get it in once the suds build up. Wash it out again without finger combing and then I use conditioner. Let that sit for a couple of minutes, turn the water cold, and rinse it out the same way I do as the shampoo!
Otherwise, not much else. Use a microfiber towel to dry my hair, let the rest airdry. Usually I comb it back completely and then part it with my fingers once it has dried a little. I use the Raw Sugar scalp restore from Target for both shampoo and conditioner.
Hope this helps!
@@retrorebound8887 great stuff man, I appreciate it!

The hdmi port on that PS3 looks bend out of shape . . .
I'd never buy from DK oldies just because I'm poor. I have sold them games through the mail though. A couple years ago I sold them part of my Xbox 360 collection. I shopped around for the best price for my games and DK oldies was actually the highest. They paid me almost 3x what anyone else offered me including GameStop and Stone age gamer. I just wanted to give credit where credit is due. DK oldies was very nice and professional while paying me good money for my games. I still won't even consider buying anything from them. I enjoyed the video thanks.
my first complaint in years of watching your videos...
You have a Sly Cooper poster and decided to put it behind your tv? Explain yourself..
