Yep, exactly. You never know for sure what it'll be like. In my experience it's usually too expensive as well. People pay crazy amounts for this stuff.
Most electronics unless vintage at most are tested to see if they are powered on and that is about it. Anything else besides that is extra and depends from what store it is from.
I work at a goodwill that posts this stuff on a daily. Its incredible what we see get donated. No lie we got a missile launcher with dummy rounds come in and had to call a bomb squad to make sure. But yeah we get all types of stuff and post it online.
This v1 controller suffered the same fate mine did, in that I used it so much i melted off the thumbsticks from use. However the previous owner got a v2 controller and it's easily survived. The biggest problem is v2 controllers drift easily and quickly in my experience over v1's. Plus I'll hazard a guess that R2 button is missing the \o/ type spring. But its nice to see that console had a decent owner previously. just some 'well loved' controllers.
Yep, the PS4 was in pretty good condition. They likely weren't from the same person. Goodwill probably just put them together with this PS4 to sell the bundle together.
I bought the gran turismo limited edition controller for $80, sticky buttons within a year, not a physical problem but a hardware problem you press the button and it would register for an extra 3 seconds
Great video Steve! I think it would be awesome to see you diagnose and repair in great detail some vintage consoles like NES, SNES, Sega, PlayStation, PsOne, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, etc.
Yes, lets please see the videos for the other PS4's and the Xbox One X. Typically the electronics finds I get from a local Thrift store end up as spare parts for fixing client machines that come into my hands for a little extra life added. Though I did score an ALMOST working PS3 Launch edition ($30) which I later brought back to its original glory for less than $40 more in parts. (Launch edition had a bad sensor for disc insert, as well as having to re-cap. Several ribbon cables were mangled, and one missing.
Goodwill has become very corporate and profit-driven. They don't seem to care much about actually helping communities anymore or they would still sell these donations locally. None of the Goodwill stores here have any kind of electronics. I don't donate anything to them anymore, it all goes to the Habitat ReStore, who will happily sell broken things even, which is my kind of place.
I've been disappointed by that as well. That being said as a business decision it makes sense...sell the products where you can get the most money for them. It makes shopping at their physical stores a lot less fun though.
We also have habitat ReStores around here. I wonder if it's bigger then I expected. I was only aware of them being in my state, and I'm pretty sure we only have 2.
I like the ReStore my mom got a treadle from there, and two weeks ago i got a vintage Crosley radio console/phonograph combo for 40$, had all the original parts considering it was made in 1946-1949.
Useful tip to quickly check ANY optical disk. I work in a pawnshop... hold the disk, inked/painted side up - glossy side down - up to the light. If you see light coming through the disk, discard it. Anyone can see blemishes on the reading surface. But pinholes & scratched up printing can be hard to tell without sticking the game into a device & reading it for an eventual failure.
tronic, there's easy fix to the ps4 controllers drifting. Not sure how exactly was it, but you disassembly the side plastic pieces of the "cube" of the stick and clean the copper pieces. It drifts mainly because of dust, dirt & etc. Hope you see this comment and try this at some video
Goodwill isn't a charity, they just have a job training program...like many other stores. I will still shop there but I treat them as a business like they are. I just don't agree with them marketing themselves as a sudo charity when they really aren't.
We have quite a few "thrift"/goodwill around me. My friends and I love going in and find old game items that the workers have no clue what it is so only price it at a few dollars. Such a steal! Also had no idea goodwill sold things online! Hate the bidding system, but hey, may be able to get something nice for cheap
It's getting harder to find good stuff there but there still is some. They sell most of their really good stuff online and it usually goes for more than you can just buy it on eBay.
I love your content! I love the balance. In my opinion, some tech videos focus too much on tech and repair and become tedious while other videos have great editing but are completely lacking in regards to content. You know when to explain, when to fast forward, and when to skip forward entirely 👍
Quick tip next time if u had a thumbstick drift dont change the whole thumbstick just try to open the 2 little plastic pieces and clean'em with alcohol they'll be good as new and great video
In the uk we have so many charity fundraising sources we have about 10 different types of stores that are company based all across the uk they are basically the same as goodwill but we don’t actually have goodwill here in the uk but any money that’s raised for charity is always good
Nah I had 2 uncles who died their stuff was distributed as is, I am still mad they gave the consoles to 7-4 year old kids.... but my grandma hates me. They also didn’t’ even know who the uncles were.
@@BerryFunChannel1 it’s not that, it’s just I don’t have anything to remember him by. I loved playing with him, especially when I couldn’t beat lvls. He was a good guy, and I wish his stuff wasn’t being treating like a slime holder.
I mean, if one of your loved died, you got nothing to remember them by, and you see little kids putting dirty slime inside something that gave you and that person happy memories, wouldn’t you be mad? I would be glad if they just gave one shirt to me... I got nothing. Maybe a console may seem trash to you, but I had too many memories with him on that console.
Honestly the fact that goodwill has an ebay store and their own auction site is such BS. The CEO laughs himself to sleep at night. People literally give him their stuff and then he sells it for a 100% profit with barely any going to actual charity
@@ThatllbeGreat1 The numbers are kind of all over the board, but for example at one time the head of Salvation Army took in around $125k for a years salary, meanwhile the head of Goodwill took in almost $750k for one year.
I said the same at first, but if you heard he said it came with 10 games, 2 controllers, and the camera, and those on their own can be 150 to 300 on their own
It's not always about accessibility for the stuff they sell. Purchases support programs to help people find and keep jobs, and other community programs, so if you go in and buy something expensive, you're still helping a good cause.
Also worth noting is that Goodwill generally tries to give back to needy folks in the community. A guy who came from a poor family came and worked at our farm, and Goodwill paid for him as part of one of their programs. Surprised you didn't check all the game cases, tbh. I would have expected one or two to be empty or have the wrong game inside.
I maybe should have. It's hard to know what to cut out sometimes. Yes, Goodwill does do good. They also pay their higher ups a ton of money. I'd love to see them spread that out a little but hey, it's their business.
@@Tronicsfix Unfortunately that's the case with so many charities, some even pay more in wages than goes out to the people/animals they are meant to be supporting
I always donate old matresses and few extra stuff to salvation army because the things they dont use they sell Unfortunally some people dont understand this and believe everything is sold
Someone told me that just short of taking a surface grinder to a bluray disc you couldn't scratch one up enough to affect reading it. Something about the high frequency rate of the the blue laser's sample rate.
Good video as always. BTW you should do a video about how to sanitize used hardware, i buy a lot of stuff, but idk if i am doing it right. We are in a pandemic after all. Also yeah, do a single video reviewing all the other stuff you bought. Kudos and keep up the good work!
That thermal paste was pretty decent. If you wanted to see some thermal powder you should have seen the am3+ motherboard I was working on the other day. Probably was as old as the FX-8320 that was in the socket.
That console was taken away by a angry parent...or a pissed off wife. I remember getting a 360 that way from salvation army. It still had all the installed games and profiles on it.
I got an Xbox One in a charity shop with 8 games 2 years ago. It cost me £50 total. Turns out they just put £50 on every console they get, I have seen PS3, Wii U's in there for the same price. The people who run that place are very old so they obviously don't know what these things are worth. I nearly bought the Wii U as it had around 30 games in this huge box as a bundle, but thought there were very few great games released on the Wii U so decided against it. I regret it now as the Wii U is an awesome emulator by itself
So my wife is a manager at goodwill, they send alot of stuff to their e-commerce site. The goodwills in my area all test stuff before they send to the e-commerce. I'm not saying all of them do all over the rest of the country but I know the ones around here do. Its goodwill, its not like they bought any of the stuff lol. Its all donated items.
I think it is still a good deal. In my country the games would make at least half the price you paid since a few of them aren't available at shops anymore and cost way too much money used on eBay and Amazon. It is a great bundle for anyone who wants to have games included.
Thank you for making these great educational videos... Love your content. Used to make circuit boards and fix electronics when I went to school, but moved on to CS.. Still love watching your work... So again, thank you very much ..
@@rachelcookie321 totally irrelavant but i once lended my PSP with UP to a Friend. I had not been able to complete 2 chapters in 3 months, where This legend speedran 15 chapters on a weekend.
Games don't worth much unless it's like a few months old. The games don't worth 30 just because you bought them for 60. A person can only play that much games and there're thousands of them out there. For me, and many others I believe, those games combined worth like 20 because they're simply outdated.
Wow, I'm in the UK, but we have multiple charity shops. However, none have electronics normally. Awesome video though, just as you always do, and just a quick question, would you ever do a pc video?
@@dschult3 No they don't. I work in E-Commerce. We just toss out the bad ones to the store. Anything in decent condition gets sold online usually in bundles. The empty cases also get sent to the store.
i have gotten 2 ps2s from goodwill a fat model (10$) that does not display on the tv but works otherwise disc spins everything still trying to fix and a slim model (30$) which was very dirty but after a full cleaning it works perfectly fine i like shopping at goodwill never know what you will find
My experience with Goodwills online store is you either get it for open bid or overpay for it. That being said, I put a lot of offers in at opening bid.
for those of you that are upset or disappointed that goodwill stopped selling stuff like this on the floor, the main reason is that it takes forever to sell. that sounds crazy but stuff that is >$50 is pretty hard to sell to the average goodwill customer and the people who can are usually just trying to resale it. I will say though that my store and i’m sure many other stores are similar will put consoles out on the floor for a bout a week before putting it online.
So... What exactly happened to earlier this year where a brand new PS4 Pro was only 240€ (~280$). That pushed down the prices on the use market by extreme amounts, and while the used market is still down, the retail prices seem to be back up at close to 300€ for a slim and around 400€ for a pro, while the used market is still down...
I absolutely love these videos there so interesting especially since we don't have these shops in Ireland I would love to see more video keep up the great work I absolutely love your videos
@@Tronicsfix yeah you can find a gem once in a while, i once found the romance of the three kingdoms full novel boxset for 3 dollars it's super long and i still haven't finished it i bought because of dynasty warriors
i got my ps4 slim on ebay for $184 lol. perfect condition. the controller was a little janky but i usually replace those anyway cause i don’t like touching other peoples used controllers
Kinda surprised that the PS4 still had it’s warranty stickers and be really clean. On my PS4 original I had to clean it because of overheating issues, i had to replace the fan, had to clean out the disk drive and had to replace the hard drive.
I actually found some good stuff at goodwill I bought 2 wii fit boards for 4.99 and one with a green tag for 1.99 everything was like new and the fit games with manuals for 1.99 each and a wii with cords ect for 9.99.Cleaned then up(cleaning eraser works wonders)and it all works

Now makes sense😄
Or their wife/gf got mad they spent to much time on it and donated it.

Of course!

Just like goodwill it’s where you go sometimes you get bargains and sometimes they can be expensive
In my experience it's hard to find a charity shop in the UK that sells consoles
That’s true I’ve found some that sold them but mostly they get sold online

Reliable and humurous, the kind of resource I'm looking for!
hi brother I love watching your videos mate...very informative...this seems like something interesting I could go into...
My experience with Goodwills online store is you either get it for open bid or overpay for it. That being said, I put a lot of offers in at opening bid.
for those of you that are upset or disappointed that goodwill stopped selling stuff like this on the floor, the main reason is that it takes forever to sell. that sounds crazy but stuff that is >$50 is pretty hard to sell to the average goodwill customer and the people who can are usually just trying to resale it. I will say though that my store and i’m sure many other stores are similar will put consoles out on the floor for a bout a week before putting it online.
So... What exactly happened to earlier this year where a brand new PS4 Pro was only 240€ (~280$). That pushed down the prices on the use market by extreme amounts, and while the used market is still down, the retail prices seem to be back up at close to 300€ for a slim and around 400€ for a pro, while the used market is still down...
I absolutely love these videos there so interesting especially since we don't have these shops in Ireland I would love to see more video keep up the great work I absolutely love your videos
Oh man i remember working on a goodwill in arizona, they had a new 3ds xl
It's crazy what kind of stuff they get!
@@Tronicsfix yeah you can find a gem once in a while, i once found the romance of the three kingdoms full novel boxset for 3 dollars it's super long and i still haven't finished it i bought because of dynasty warriors
i only paid 180 dollars for a brand new ps4 slim. absolute win. bought it a year ago.
Man I love this channel!
Glad you're enjoying it!
Me too bro
i got my ps4 slim on ebay for $184 lol. perfect condition. the controller was a little janky but i usually replace those anyway cause i don’t like touching other peoples used controllers
It's pretty common for stuff to sell on Goodwill's online site for much more than you can just go buy it in eBay.
i got a slim on ebay too for $200 with 2 controllers , now i think I've been ripped off
I bought my son a 32” Sharp Roku TV at a Goodwill here. $50, works just fine. Surprised the crap out of me.
Kinda surprised that the PS4 still had it’s warranty stickers and be really clean. On my PS4 original I had to clean it because of overheating issues, i had to replace the fan, had to clean out the disk drive and had to replace the hard drive.
I was surprised by that as well.
I would like to see more of goodwill
Thanks for the feedback!
Best deal ever especially for someone who can fix it
Try "The Grid" they may have some game boxes worth buying! Thanks 🤓
I would love to see you check out the other systems that you purchased.
I’m sad cod advance warfare doesn’t have more of a following. It is so clean and crisp the gameplay very fluid. The guns are also great.
That tech was me!!!
I got an Xbox 360 complete with cables and a controller for 30 bucks at goodwill a few weeks ago
I just bought myself a ps4 slim. I would not pay a penny over $200 and I looked around and found one in great condition for $180 so that was cool
I actually found some good stuff at goodwill I bought 2 wii fit boards for 4.99 and one with a green tag for 1.99 everything was like new and the fit games with manuals for 1.99 each and a wii with cords ect for 9.99.Cleaned then up(cleaning eraser works wonders)and it all works
A new video to watch? GREAT NEWS! I think 1 box full of broken stuff is just the right amount.
great video, of course want to see more videos steve.-
More Goodwill videos?
@@Tronicsfix yes, will be great, about consoles 🖒
