When it comes to games, I don't see any problems but when anyone buys consoles there's always issues
I bought a PS3 way before any of the criticism, and I had no issues, it was clean and worked just fine.
@@elez3409 That wpuld be great if you weren't paying like 2x as much just for a warranty and rolling the dice on buying it without a picture unlike eBay.
You can get the games cheaper anyways, dk oldies is pointless
I ordered NSMBW and the box was white, not red. But the game itself works just fine.
@@OllieGrigg then get it cheaper my boy that simple
Thanks so much for watching! What do you think about DKOldies? 🤔 NOTE: Part 2 coming eventually where we order a console! Stay tuned! 😎
Overpriced
They are good, but their prices are wat too high
Way too overpriced
The only reason their things are over priced is because they are old!
Good infact a lot of the prices are cheaper than others
I purchased a New 3DS from DKOldies. I ordered a “Good Condition” 3DS but it arrived filthy and slightly scrathed up, which was obvious since it was white. After I put in new face plates and personally cleaned it, it looks fine. I just don’t get why they don’t even bother to clean their products. I don’t want to know what a “Cosmetically Flawed” one would look like
why would you buy a old handheld?
@@sixtyforce4688 everything from the website is old bro
@@LKomo Not everything they sell switch games
@@sixtyforce4688 Why not? I wanted one?
@@robertleite6650 well fair
You had to put your order number to let Joey film it. That’s what he always says towards any film he does.
I would definitely love a pt. 2. For this project you have been doing I have checked dkoldies’ channel every day to see if they filmed it. Since they didn’t I think everyone would like a round two!
Because you are a RUclipsr they give you a better expierience lmao
They did a RUclips short a few months back explaining the bubble wrap. They don’t tape it because in the majority of cases it’s just not needed. Plus if the bubble wrap is too tight it doesn’t work as well when absorbing bumps 👍🏻
Your editing is so amazing! Love your videos and keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!!! :D
I don’t have experience with ordering from DKOldies but I think it’s safe to say if your looking for old Pokémon games without the risk of them being fake I feel like this is the best option
That’s the only thing I have ever purchased from them and it was a pretty good experience
If its fake, most thrird party sellers like ebay and Amazon allow returns
If they aren’t “new” and/or ship from China, you’re gonna find authentic Pokemon games for far cheaper.
This was a really nice watch. I'd love to see a part 2!
Nice pfp king 👑
The fact I was eating m&ms while eating this video
😂😂 Thank you so much for watching!
He was eating so mch m&ms that he typed eating instead of watching
@@SolarisAndCryo didn’t even see that I’ll leave it there for the sake of the joke
I would say DKOldies is good for games because they resurface the discs. I would not buy consoles from them because the prices are too high
console prices are high because they do a lot of work to clean them up and often fix things to make sure they work as originally intended. I know people like complaining about getting xboxes with loud disc drives etc like its dks fault, those mfs were always just loud af!
You should definitely do a part two and order a cosmetically flawed console (If you can afford one of course).
Exactly he can’t really do a solid review without buying a console
Love to see everything was in good condition!! Got three orders from them of retro games and had no complaints! Everything works and I’ve bought from eBay/local before and got scammed/ ripped off so I’ll gladly pay a bit more for guaranteed real and working games
Waste of tape if it cant move in the package 🤷🏻
I really enjoyed the video. I fully agree on the video and this is an example of them doing a good packaging with there package. It would be interesting for part 2 if you bought a portable console from them. No one has gotten a portable console from them yet. I also feel would be able to give a non bias review. I also feel it would worth it to pay extra for not cosmetically flawed to see if they are handling there consoles with care after the most recent tear downs.
Imagine just opening it and the game isn't there
"We're just humans!"
“Task failed successfully” 😂
Dude was impressed because the game he ordered worked lol
This man's tested a 5MB game rather than a whole console
Might I add, a shovelware game. Lmao
I think the main concern is buying systems... Cartridges are fairly well kept if stored properly I would have liked to see a disc version game like a ps1 - Ps3 Xbox360
It depends on what you buy from them most things probably aren’t gonna be worth it to buy from them
I thought his voice was an AI until this video 😂
Max dude. I’ve been subbed for a quite some time watching your channel grow. (My kids are about your age. Hehe. We’re just a gamer fam.) Anyway I wanted to toss you some props. I am proud of you. You understand. 🙌
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support so much and I hope you and your family are well! :)
If you order consoles from them you will see why people give the hate for them.
We need part 2!!!
I was hoping that nobody would ever discover DKOldies. They have been my very own honey hole for years. I guess it's time to share the wealth.
LMAO...UR JOKING RIGHT? a honey hole is a "sweet spot" . U have been over paying ...so....u have been their "honey hole" .....idiot lol
That’s a pretty expensive honey hole you had there.😂
@@yellowlegoguy retro gaming is expensive in general. Remember, DKO has to buy these games off of people and re-sell, so it makes sense it would be pricey.
@@yellowlegoguy the prices are actually pretty good. I care more about getting good games than cheap ones
@@SoulforSale the inventory is unmatched
They sent me a wiimote with a broken dpad and a nunchuc that drifts💀
i bought two pairs one pair had the broken controllers
All the games and stuff are good condition but the worst prices
thats the problem
literally pokemon games from 15 years ago are more then the newest games
the issue isn't with the games (usually) most of the problems that have arisen come from buying consoles from them. someone on here bought an N64 that came and didn't even work. like it didn't even turn on.
I ordered a retro link SNES from DK oldie brand new in the box that system with Zelda link to the past cost me a little under 300 buck and that was two years ago and I still love it the game was my favorite game as a kid. eBay and Amazon wanted 550$ for both the RETRO LINK SNES AND ZELDA LINK TO THE PAST.
You did games, not consoles.
Some of the games are pretty good but the console’s price is more than double the regular price
Prices are terrible. I did buy sonic rush for the DS cause I needed it for my collection for $20 it came with just the game and that was with a coupon Normal is $30 and I could have gone to a nearby place and get an unopened one for around $50
Their prices are a little higher but like retro gaming pricing is already inflated to begin with
Not really. I mean they are online but games are definitely cheaper at game stores. Although I get it if you don’t have any near you. Although i use lukiegames for online purchases definitely recommend
DKOldies is one of the biggest players in the game, therefore they are part of the reason behind the inflated values you see. Of course they aren't singlehandedly responsible, but there's very little reason to defend them as they are doing nothing to curb or alleviate the issue.
woah, first long form vid ive seen from you. nice video, and thanks for not just jumping on the dkoldies hate train, but actually giving your honest feedback and being able to compliment them on the good things about your order
"Oh, I've seen some videos of people claiming they don't refurbish their consoles and thus are scamming people so I ordered something completely different and pretty cheap so they're fine"
nani the fu-
I'm glad to see another RUclipsr with a positive review!
Well, he just looked at the games, not the consoles which is where most of their complaints are coming from.
@@AJOlesen I bought a Xbox 360 E which I am 100% satisfied with. :)
It seems like this company is a mixed bag in terms of “good”.
lol so by the end of it you overpaid by ~$6 on the total order. after the honey coupon ur still negative. i mean there is really no reason to choose dkoldies over ebay.
My only complaint would be having to pay extra for the manual but makes sense now that I think about you want a complete copy of the game you then you are gonna have to pay extra sadly that's basically like buying something on eBay incomplete without the manual.
You didn’t order anything that was relevant to the issues people have. It’s with the “refurbished” consoles. They don’t clean them or refurbish them they just slap stickers on them. The games are kind of hard to mess up and extremely easy to test. This feels like they paid you to make this lol
“I didn’t expect for this to work” for a 30 dollar game 🤯
I bought resident evil 4 wii and dkc2 gba from them and they were both really good condition. And re4 wii was only 10 bucks.
The one time I had issues was when I bought mario world gba, where I had to blow the cart for it to work but it seems to be fine now.
Well, this is sorta proof that DKOldies is no scam!
(despite their not-so-cool prices)
No this isn't. The issue is with the consoles. You really think someone's gonna repro an M&Ms game?
My strategy for rock paper scissors is choose rock twice in the beginning and then choose scissors
I’ve never had an issue with the games they put up for sale. I’ve bought about 30 games from them for 4 different consoles and only two of them I had a problem with, both of which were replaced very easily with a quick ship back. I also ordered a PS2 Slim from them and it works but the memory card slot sometimes doesn’t read so games 👍, consoles 👎.
Poeple always bash on DKoldies for having bad condition consoles and games, ITS A THIRTY YEAR OLD GAME CONSOLE THAT WAS PROBABLY THROWN AROUND BY THE FED EX GUY WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!!
"This video was brought to you by the DK Oldies PR Damage Control Department"
Bro the subtitles say Eminem’s Blast 💀💀💀
Maybe, however there would be a lot of resistance around Dublin, although the british could flank through the fields and do something that what, in reality though i cant see this happening for another 50 years at least
Honestly on the price thing I kinda have to take DK-Oldies side. You know they're reliable and you kind of pay for that guarantee that the stuff you buy works and is in good condition, compared to things like Ebay and Amazon which are independent sellers who may or may not test the games. I haven't checked but I'm pretty sure DKO has a return policy if faulty product is shipped (if they don't then that's my bad), which is also a massive plus.
i think you'll find many more deals for equal or better quality items on ebay
I was saying in different videos that if you go into a shop called CeX (Console Exchange it's called but we call it the "Sex Shop" lol since it's pronounced that way which is funny), you would pick up a game like megaman wily wars on the Megadrive/Genesis and it would cost you neck end of £400.
Also on ebay, you do not pay return shipping unless you return an item for a frivolous reason. On Amazon, you literally have no reason to select any options that don't give you free retun shipping--they will cover it 100% of the time, even from third-party sellers. DKOldies does not cover return shipping. And PayPal eliminated their free service last year, thus it is now more cost-effective and more reasonable than before to avoid DKOldies.
Can everyone please STOP criticizing dkoldies?! HELLLLOOOO?
they’re a legit company.
I actually just bought a DS game from eBay with only the game card along with an armour case for my 3DS for 25 Australian dollars altogether (16.94 USD)
EmSwizzle: I live 2 hours away from the shop
Yeah, I'm not sure about this, but a lot of nintendo youtubers live in or near the state of Pennsylvania, where DKOldies is located
PART 2
They doxxed someone in their new video where they threw in keychains!
I'm curious how long it would take for DKoldies to ship worldwide... those prices are already so high without shipping costs
Shippings free internationally on orders over 10$ so worldwide id imagine isnt to bad
@@bradyrethman942 not true, i tried ordering from italy and the shipping costs were like 60/70 bucks
Free Shipp over 10 dollars
@@CSStonerCS not outside USA
@DtsWizo is that the case guess I never looked into it
I feel they should work on their console side of things their games seem to be good but the prices are high but they are a company so i could see why
And they should not sell new consoles like their refurbished nintendo switch oled which cost more then a new oled
you should definitely do a part 2, you get mad views from this and I appreciate your honesty and not just following the hate hype
*although they do deserve the hate for not refurbishing their "refurbished" consoles, but ok.
@@inny74 all the other videos made of DKOldies is straight up hating with no positivity, just because there are some critiques (which are warranted, DKOldies should be refurbishing their "refurbished" console, especially with the extremely high prices that they are charging) does not mean this video is hateful towards the company
It sucks how they don't have in store pickup because I live right next to them
I have been waiting for this video for a week, and it was worth the wait!! 😁
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Games are easy to resell and easier to clean than retro consoles where there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. This still doesn't let dkoldies off the hook nor would I still buy from them.
DK Oldies is great. Ive ordered from him several times and usually he has the best prices compared to ebay. u didnt overpay for anything, when comparing to ebay you forgot to leave out the shipping and handling charges the ebay sellers add on. u got a great deal on that Zelda. not to mention you have the comfort of knowing whatever you buy from DK has been quality checked, cleaned, tested, is guaranteed to be REAL (when dealing with games like Zeldas, Pokemons, Marios etc there are a lot of fake carts out there).
I have no personal attachment to DK, I just get upset hearing people trash his company and products when Ive been ordering from him since at least 2021 maybe earlier and have never had a single issue or complaint, and I have always loved their level of personal touch, getting free gifts in your package and hand-written notes is always a wonderful addition to the purchasing experience.
It’s a terrible deal, used game stores sell that stuff for 8 bucks
@@forjqoijasd no, they dont. you clearly dont know the market at all
@@twistedimagev2 have you walked into a store in the past eight years literally sometimes even GameStop goes below 10 dollars
Also it’s a given that buying a used game on eBay is accepting a much higher price than you’d find in person unless the game is somewhat rare, which ocarina of time 3D is not
Getting games from them is okay but it's where they say the consoles are refurbished, when they are actually not sometimes. That's what they been getting picked for. Buy console with refurbished and see if it comes messed up
I really wasnt taped because of the tight packaging
Would love a part 2
I buy a good bit of stuff from there, but there is also some overpriced things, including the n64 expansion pass being $75.
In regards to the price it seems people don't understand that dkoldies is a business so they add a profit margin to their products and random people on ebay might not care about profit and only sell it for what they paid for
So I at at the midnight release of cyberpunk 2077 and Joey from dkoldies was in line too. I had just drank about a gallon of baja blast and i was ready to leak. So i asjed joey to hold my place in line while i pee'd in a bush. Instead of staying jory was behind me asking if I 'needed help ' and winking. I ended up just going home and getting a digital copy.
I’m sure most of the issues don’t lie with their games. But rather with their consoles. Those consoles being those prices to not be properly cleaned or “refurbished” is where the issue is, at least I believe so.
You bought the simplest items possible.
would be interesting if there was a second anon order to see if theres a difference
4:47 first time viewer just taught it was crazy that you received my copy of M&M 🤯 also hi 😆
DKOldies isn't bad at what they do by any means. They take great care of their products, but they WAY overcharge for them. They don't necessarily provide a BAD service, just not as good as you'd expect at the price point they ask.
On the Zelda game, you paid $32.99 vs $24.99 currently on ebay.. the now price is $34.99 vs their current $24.99 - this doesn't seem bad in a bubble... oh they're charging $8/$10 more, I can swallow that. But think about the % difference and at scale.
"I want 10 games (at $10 more each) so I can make a new collection start for my kid. That's an extra $100. What's more, $34.99 vs $24.99 is 40% HIGHER!!! That's pretty crazy if you ask me. So instead of paying $250, someone who doesn't know better is paying $350. That's kind of insane to me.
I know we're talking about a bit of a higher value game, but if it's on average 30-40% higher, there's a real problem there. They're just the ones you know because they're visible everywhere
Plus, a thrift store probably sells first party 3DS games for like 20 dollars at most
Impressed because they sent you a game that works... like most games do. Huh.
So I had a pretty similar positive experience as well. I ordered ocarina and majoras for 3ds. After taxes and all that it came out to like $85. Yeah definitely overpriced. But the day it got delivered, someone broke into our mailbox and stole my order. I let dk oldies know what happened and they sent me a replacement order. Now that’s what I call good business
I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I bought Mario Galaxy 2 and it was fine. But my cart of Dr. Mario/Tetris was supposed to be cosmetically good.... It was far from it... Extreme yellowing on the top part of the cart as well as parts of the label taken off. If i wanted cosmetically flawed, I would have bought it for the discount..
Since your order was placed by a popular RUclipsr, we actually cleaned it!
Lads out there complaining about the high prices of the game and the console, like bro... The need to refurbish it, they clean it, they test it, put all the stuff you supposed to get and not to mention how much they need to pay for the workers at DKOldies
Okay so I get it some of the prices are a bit ridiculous. But it depends on the rarity of the legitimate consoles and all the equipment to keep these in peak condition.
The Gba Sp is re-shelled. Its not authentic. Can tell just from the light shining through from the battery light.
Their games are good, but their consoles are trash. The prices can very to market to "WHERE TF ARE YOU GETTING YOUR PRICES FROM?!?!?!!!"
The script for this video was paid for by DKOldies 😆
Next try a console, it will be a toll on your bank account. Also do it anonymously P.O. box, or the adress of a friend even better.
To not have them being suspicious and giving you better stuff than others.
Yes order some more
I have actually bought multiple of games for the ps3 and wii from dkoldies, and the condition of them were flawless.
I think the issue with dkoldies is consoles, I haven't bought any console fr dkoldies only games, and I don't think I'll ever buy a console from dkoldies coz of how expensive they are, and specially now coz of all the backlash due to them sending dirty consoles to people, so I'll just stick to buying their games only and not consoles
Not too bad being 33% overprice of ebay?
What exactly are your parameters for overpriced?
I bought video games from them and those are fine. It's the consoles that aren't "refurbished"
I wanna see a disc game from them (older) GameCube or ps1 somethin like that
Their prices are just probably trying to be the same as the launch price.
I wouldn’t mind a part 2 it seems like it’s becoming a hit or miss with dkoldies though a lot of people would say they’re more of a miss with all their “refurbished,” consoles (if you could call them that) and that fiasco.
Yeah dude, no one is really complaining about the games. The consoles and controllers are the issue.
You should get an N64 and the model of the WII that can play GameCube games, and get one game for each ( i would get Mario kart for each) and see how that goes.
I haven’t heard anybody complaining about their games, it’s the dirty consoles.
He sounds related to the guy from DK oldies. Voice is almost identical.
Dkoldies games are reasonably priced however the big ticket items are overpriced and the consoles are outrageous especially with the conditions they come in
DKOldies helped my complete my Madden 08 collection, so I guess there’s that.

@@forjqoijasd to be fair, Scott is why I started to collect 08 copies.
