2:06 Actually Dreamcasts were generally quite loud. It was one of the biggest complaints about the system, sounding like it was trying to take flight off of a gravel road. Personally I didn't mind. If I can hear it, it means it's working lol. Still my favorite system of all time.
I was about to comment this then I saw your comment lol yes very loud, there’s a noctua mod you can do to make it run quiet a lot of guys in the Dreamcast homebrew community do.

Anybody in the Midwest could have told you this. You'll pay market value for an Xbox 360 with no thumb stick grips, AV cables and a Cheeto stuck in the fan grill.
It's really amazing how different everyone's experiences are with used consoles. In the west, they're practically throwing piles of them everyday. $20-$30 are what I usually see them for.

Ugh that kills me when I saw a boxed dreamcast I was like $104! for a boxed one! Then you opened it and it was certainly an "in box" Dreamcast lmao. What model was it?
What's hilarious is that you can buy a dreamcast here in aus for around $150-$170 usd, complete with games, controllers etc, or a Japanese one for half that. But people are selling the boxes alone for $100+ 😂
To answer Austins question @ 1:40, yes, you can still go online using the Dreamcast, and with the broadband adapter you can play Quake III, and Phantasy Star Online over the internet. Granted, the latter is only through private servers.

Not really much of a mod though because it fits in directly without modding anything. You just have to replace the fan with a quieter fan, and that's it. Unlike the PHAT PS2, and GameCube where you need brackets to fit the fan in the case.
Great video, Austin! May I suggest creating some "thrifting tech" episodes? Not the Goodwill online store; that's too easy! In person from different shops in different socioeconomic areas just to see what treasures can be found for next to nothing. Keep up the great work!
Do they still sell tech in goodwill stores? I’ve only been to 2-3 within the last 4-5 years and they’ve had literally nothing. I figured they sold all the tech online
@@FetidafOnce in a while I’ve found some real treasure: an old 286 “laptop” a few Mac 512/Pluses, iMacs upon iMacs, an LCII, even an ancient Apple ][ +. There’s always tonnes of Wiis, Xbox 360s, PS2 & 3s and even the occasional N64. This is in Vancouver BC, but I expect Los Angeles to have considerably more!

I got a free mac mini from work. I believe it is a 2014 model. Had some issues with the os and it wouldnt reinstall so i ended up putting windows 10 on it to run emulators for my kiddos. It runs pretty good considering.
I wouldn't say you got "scammed" outside of the Switch and fake headphones. Yes some items weren't in good shape but really you got the pawn shop experience. Pawn Shops function off the foundation of usually overcharging by $10+ for the convenience of getting it immediately. They're literally the convenience stores of eBay/Amazon.
Now I'm nervous... because I just bought a mint condition one X on eBay for $200 him saying 180 is a suspicious doesn't make me feel good Here's the cherry on top the one I bought... is a project Scorpio edition
its not a 30+ GB update, but you are actually downloading the digital version of the xbox360 game, see the console isnt truely BW in the normal sense. But when you put the disc in it downloads an updated version of the game with an emulator wrapper so that the console can play it.
Skyrim isn't backwards compatible because they wanted you to buy the special edition, which is why even after Xbox bought Bethesda it still isn't backwards compatible. I believe most of the 360 games that aren't backwards compatible are mostly due to that, in other words they were rereleased/remastered/Xbox one version was released from the start or there might be licensing issues.
No the OLED is the best version of switch.. But it's a Switch so really it just is what it is.. I'll be honest I'm not really the biggest fan of small minut things. I've got a PS5 an not clamoring for a PS5 Slim. I won't even get it. My Dbrand Decked Out PS5 sits just fine horizontally next to my 4K Blu-ray player that also sits next to the XSX which also sets horizontally in the middle of a 3 tier Whalen Cherrywood TV stand with an inch of space in between them.. I assume people today live in the smallest of spaces. I don't do digital either my blu rays and the games are mounted on my wall as well as the bottom tier of my TV stand. I've seen "entertainment centers" that literally have nothing but a TV and entertainment desk and it absolutely looks boring. No movies No games it looked empty and boring the least entertaining. Where is mine or the old school style looks like it'll Entertain You and does.. you see movies you see games you're not reliant on the internet to be working you're also able to get the best quality that you can get. If you're buying a TV and you're number 1 thing is the best picture quality you can get for your money then turn around and say well all you do is stream that to me is an oxymoron at the highest proportion.. I want the best picture quality so I buy an OLED I want that picture to be of the best quality so for movies I buy 4K Blu-ray, for games I buy offline story-driven single-player ON DISC for ownership longevity and because I'm responsible enough to take care of my own things and because those are the best game and what makes gaming great.. online multiplayer and games-as-a-service I do not allowed to infect my stuff and I damn sure would never buy digital..
You should take all the broken stuff back and get your money back. Cause if you don’t these pawn shops are gonna continue selling the junk to good people.
I once bought what I thought to be authentic Louis Vuitton backpack from a pawn shop for 80 bucks turned out be a replica but it was A++ replica that go for 550 new so it was still a good deal.
I find so many good things at pawn shops. Lots of cameras, gaming stuff, electronics, etc. Just got an Xbox Series X for 200 and a Macbook Pro M1 for 250 (they messed up the OS and couldnt get it working, i just cleared it and re-loaded the OS and sold for 700)
Surely if things don’t work they can be returned so not technically scammed? In the UK you’d most certainly be able to return non working items to a pawn shop 👍🏻
Pawn shops are 50/50 you can get really lucky or you can get really unlucky, luckily the pawn shop i go to i know the guy personally so I always get really good deals
16:44 Those shots are great, especially given how old the camera is. Old Sony cameras were quite good, and hold up relatively well to this day. It's no brand new iPhone when it comes to photo quality, but still good enough for non-photographers.

I know pawn shops can be pretty shady but they really shouldn't be selling obvious counterfeit products. The max knock offs are fine because they aren't actually saying they are apple products but those fake beats? That feels like selling those is probably illegal unless the shop was upfront about them being fakes. Especially since those don't look like trade ins but stuff they are buying themselves and reselling which is double shady.
That Dreamcast reminded me of one of the best deals I have ever gotten... I worked in electronics at Sears, they were throwing out the display for our Dreamcast and I was able to get a functioning Dreamcast (w/out the modem...online gaming was still years away from being a big thing for consoles so I was like "meh, who cares") with controller for the low low price of TWENTY BUCKS. This was when the Dreamcast was still doing well on the market too, they were just doing away with the playable displays for consoles. I got so many good deals on electronics while I worked there
@@thearousedeunuch Matt would like this one.... a laser disc player. It was what they used to use for the video shit that played on all the TVs, there'd be a monthly or bimonthly disc we'd get but we did have a few movies in the back we'd put on when we got tired of them. This was before DVD was big enough. Oh and no I don't still use any of the stuff :(
Back in the early 2000s I got a boxed Dreamcast with games and extra controllers from a flea market for $10. When he showed the listings I wish I kept the box. Sears must have been fun to work at.
As a owner of a Dreamcast since it first came out, and still running, they are not quiet, both the gd-rom and fan are quite noticeable. They also do yellow quite a bit.
I bought my latest laptop at a pawn shop. Is a HP envy 15” convertible laptop. Originally, they were asking for $400. I offered $300, they shot back $350. Said nah, walked to the truck and right as I was shifting into reverse to back out, the guy came out and said they would take $300. Not a bad deal for a Ryzen 5 4500u laptop I’m pretty good condition.
I remember getting a PS3 from a pawn shop and when I tested it, the console had YLOD. When I returned it, I told the guy it had YLOD and he thought I was out of my mind because he didn't know what a YLOD meant, the guy then tested it and I heard the 3 beeps from YLOD and he had a good 2 cracks at starting it up. Then he told me it worked in order to convince me that the YLOD was a coincidence. He still accepted the return thankfully.
I own that exact model of camera lol. The only issue I had with it, is that the lens mechanism can malfunction and then it renders the entire camera useless. This happens when sand, dirt or grit gets inside the lens mechanism. It's not a camera design flaw, as this issue can be easily avoided by always keeping the camera in its case when not in use. Great video Austin. Keep it up!!
I have one tucked away in one of my living room units. It's not a bad little camera for quick shots with a decent optical zoom. Mobile phones have definitely made a lot of the smaller pocket cameras like this obsolete though because even with a digital zoom, the fact that most phones are 3-4 times the pixel count more than makes up for that.
I would be inclined to agree. I bought my last three generations of consoles at pawn shops, I never buy one without testing it thoroughly in the shop first.
Alittle over a month ago I actually found a newer windows laptop for only 80$ I've been using it to play steam games and it runs alot of older games really well with an Intel UHD 620
fun video, found some steals myself at pawn shops last year inc. an RTX3050ti Victus 16 for $200 and an M1 Macbook Air for the same price. sometimes you can get lucky.

00:50 Those aren't sold listings, they're still active (as of the video production). You have to look at sold listings because anyone can start them at a high bid and still not sell them.
Dreamcasts used to have an issue where they would randomly reset (something to do with the solder on the PSU being jenky I think) when I worked for Gamestation if anyone was trading one in we had to play it for fifteen minutes continuously to check if it had the issue. One weekend the main warehouse was all “yeah send that store every Dreamcast we’ve got in stock for the lols) I was tasked with sitting behind the counter with a little portable TV and a stack of dreamcasts and playing each one for 15-20 minutes to ensure it was suitable to sell. That weekend was great. I remember a dude going ape shit at the manager because it was busy and he’d been in the queue for ages and one of the staff was just sat playing games instead of helping him. The manager said “yeah, that’s his job.” The guy was shocked and asked how he could get paid to play video games. Sometimes I do miss that place!
15:32 lol, I got a Sony A57 DSLR for $20 from a pawn shop, complete with lens. They lost the charger and it was sold "as-is", and when I popped the battery out I noticed it was a modified InfoLithium M pack, and on a hunch I bought it because I still have my Digital 8 HandyCam that charges those packs. Using the HandyCam as a battery charger, I confirmed the A57 works flawlessly, and it now supplements the $150 Nikon D5100 I got maybe six years ago as "broken", when it really had a convincing counterfeit battery installed. Installed a genuine Nikon battery and the camera worked brilliantly. Just 2 years prior to scoring the D5100, my dad bought a D3100 kit new for $550, so I considered myself rather lucky. My camera had a decently low shutter count once it powered on, likely due to the bad battery. It otherwise looked brand new, which is mostly why I got it.
I really miss the point-and-shoot digital camera era. It makes me wonder what is out there for honestly really good digital cameras since the sensors and technology in a flagship smartphone is unreal. With that fact, a decent non DSLR digital camera should honestly pack a real punch in today's world. As much as the convenience of taking photos on my phone is amazing, there truly isn't anything like pulling out the camera for your memories. Taking selfies without knowing what was in the frame and laughing at the failed attempts. I would be totally interested in a $400-$600 non DSLR digital camera with on-par or better technology than a modern flagship phone. Ultra-crisp and touch-screen OLED, true optical zoom, great aperture and sensors, awesome low-light modes. I think for the photographer on the go, or the non-professional that wants great shots without the bulk of a DSLR around your neck the whole way, it could be a great middle ground. I'm sure it exists, I just haven't gone looking for a digital camera in over a decade...
This is why you pay with credit card, so when you realize a product is a scam, you can dispute the charge and not have to pay for junk. NOTE: Unless you signed something that said the products might be reproductions and not authentic.
This made my head hurt. I've made thousands off of pawn shops (95% of it was video games) sometimes it needs a little tlc but still lol pawn shops are easy money if you know how to shop
I recognize the pawn shop in the video, and I can honestly say that their electronics and games are super overpriced. I don't know about their other items, but I would not recommend that shop in particular

10:31 What's that? Part of the machine that is infinity harder to repair than a single joy-con isn't working? Austin proves himself to be wrong about how the lite is superior? :P
The shoulder buttons on the switch lite are easier to replace than anything else..... The right shoulder button is accessible immediately once the backplate is off. The left shoulder button needs to come off before you can replace the left joy con.... Replaced my joy cons on my switch lite 2 days ago. The hardest part was not to thread the tiny screws. Super simple and straightforward, not sure what you're on about.
The Mac Mini is an interesting buy. I might actually buy something like that just to gut it and casemod it to accept newer hardware, then build an ultra small PC into it. It would be a neat build anyway.
Another gaming nerd joined the comment section! Dreamcast are normally noisy belive it or not, for many its a nostalgic sound, and you can still go online!! It needs a bit of configuration but you can still play online games, see rankings and even download DLC for games like Sonic Adventure.
Some games are still playable online for the Dreamcast via the Broadband Adapter through private servers, such as Phantasy Star Online, Toy Racer, and Quake III Arena.
anything that doesn't work is just a setup... never had an issue ordering anything anywhere ever... His lucks either insanely bad or these are just obviously fake videos to make the videos longer.... Guess he's the millionaire and I am not haha
I bought a custom Elite Series 2 controller, 4 months after using it, 2 buttons started going out and now are broken entirely. Not covered by warranty even when it should be. My original controller that came with my Xbox One X in 2019 is still working and ive abused it and thrown it multiple times. $200 wasted on an official controller, that isnt warranty covered because they SELL a warranty that does cover it. Stupid stupid stupid.
Uhhhh…Brand new Dreamcasts back when they first came out….were loud. You can look it up. DC was always loud. Not a single Dreamcast was ever quiet. Not…one…..actually there was a Dreamcast that remained quiet….a broken Dreamcast.

When I returned it, I told the guy it had YLOD and he thought I was out of my mind because he didn't know what a YLOD meant, the guy then tested it and I heard the 3 beeps from YLOD and he had a good 2 cracks at starting it up. Then he told me it worked in order to convince me that the YLOD was a coincidence. He still accepted the return thankfully.
It probably went right back on the shelf after you left.
I own that exact model of camera lol. The only issue I had with it, is that the lens mechanism can malfunction and then it renders the entire camera useless. This happens when sand, dirt or grit gets inside the lens mechanism. It's not a camera design flaw, as this issue can be easily avoided by always keeping the camera in its case when not in use.
Great video Austin. Keep it up!!
I have one tucked away in one of my living room units. It's not a bad little camera for quick shots with a decent optical zoom.
Mobile phones have definitely made a lot of the smaller pocket cameras like this obsolete though because even with a digital zoom, the fact that most phones are 3-4 times the pixel count more than makes up for that.
What happens to all this stuff after you’re done with the video? Does it just sit in the studio gathering dust?
Who'd ever take a switch out of a store without demanding a button test
At least triggers and bumpers are moderately easy to repair
I would be inclined to agree. I bought my last three generations of consoles at pawn shops, I never buy one without testing it thoroughly in the shop first.
Alittle over a month ago I actually found a newer windows laptop for only 80$ I've been using it to play steam games and it runs alot of older games really well with an Intel UHD 620
fun video, found some steals myself at pawn shops last year inc. an RTX3050ti Victus 16 for $200 and an M1 Macbook Air for the same price. sometimes you can get lucky.

First?
Idk
Do these guys just throw these items away or store them away or are they able to return them? Christmas party give aways ? Lol I have always wondered.
They do give away a lot of their stuff, you can see what they give away in their studio tour video!
0:08 a couple of years ago 5.39 million subs today 5.39 million subs😅
YOU PAID $50 FOR THE P9s!? I ONLY PAID $5!
00:50 Those aren't sold listings, they're still active (as of the video production). You have to look at sold listings because anyone can start them at a high bid and still not sell them.
Dreamcasts used to have an issue where they would randomly reset (something to do with the solder on the PSU being jenky I think) when I worked for Gamestation if anyone was trading one in we had to play it for fifteen minutes continuously to check if it had the issue. One weekend the main warehouse was all “yeah send that store every Dreamcast we’ve got in stock for the lols) I was tasked with sitting behind the counter with a little portable TV and a stack of dreamcasts and playing each one for 15-20 minutes to ensure it was suitable to sell. That weekend was great. I remember a dude going ape shit at the manager because it was busy and he’d been in the queue for ages and one of the staff was just sat playing games instead of helping him. The manager said “yeah, that’s his job.” The guy was shocked and asked how he could get paid to play video games. Sometimes I do miss that place!
Do a PC BUILD WITH PARTS from the Flea market/ THrift Store
Remember, kids, don't be Austin And actually test the things you're gonna buy.
15:32 lol, I got a Sony A57 DSLR for $20 from a pawn shop, complete with lens.
They lost the charger and it was sold "as-is", and when I popped the battery out I noticed it was a modified InfoLithium M pack, and on a hunch I bought it because I still have my Digital 8 HandyCam that charges those packs.
Using the HandyCam as a battery charger, I confirmed the A57 works flawlessly, and it now supplements the $150 Nikon D5100 I got maybe six years ago as "broken", when it really had a convincing counterfeit battery installed. Installed a genuine Nikon battery and the camera worked brilliantly.
Just 2 years prior to scoring the D5100, my dad bought a D3100 kit new for $550, so I considered myself rather lucky. My camera had a decently low shutter count once it powered on, likely due to the bad battery. It otherwise looked brand new, which is mostly why I got it.
Dreamcast are loud just a FYI, especially on boot up
No, That's normal noise for a Dreamcast, they've never been quiet, but I've become fond of the sounds. My ODE moded one is not as fun😢
How is a console that is dumbed down and missing features the "best version" of the switch?
You can actually get the Dreamcast online someone built an adaptor for it🤔🤔🤔🤔
please please please need a behind the scenes, would absolutely love to see you actually visting the shops honestly
Asking Austin Evans to do a video with Dankpods. Seriously let Wade buy Nuggets for Mystery Tech.
I really miss the point-and-shoot digital camera era. It makes me wonder what is out there for honestly really good digital cameras since the sensors and technology in a flagship smartphone is unreal. With that fact, a decent non DSLR digital camera should honestly pack a real punch in today's world. As much as the convenience of taking photos on my phone is amazing, there truly isn't anything like pulling out the camera for your memories. Taking selfies without knowing what was in the frame and laughing at the failed attempts. I would be totally interested in a $400-$600 non DSLR digital camera with on-par or better technology than a modern flagship phone. Ultra-crisp and touch-screen OLED, true optical zoom, great aperture and sensors, awesome low-light modes. I think for the photographer on the go, or the non-professional that wants great shots without the bulk of a DSLR around your neck the whole way, it could be a great middle ground. I'm sure it exists, I just haven't gone looking for a digital camera in over a decade...
This really felt like an older like 2019 austin evens video with the music choice and just fun energetic teck commentery.
@austinevans1... Scam Alert /\
I saw a clear purple Gameboy color for 50$ at my pawn shop and ngl I kinda regret not picking it up after looking at online prices 💀
This is why you pay with credit card, so when you realize a product is a scam, you can dispute the charge and not have to pay for junk. NOTE: Unless you signed something that said the products might be reproductions and not authentic.
Console War is over. Xbox loses since it can't play Skyrim, even the Switch can play Skyrim 🤣
This made my head hurt. I've made thousands off of pawn shops (95% of it was video games) sometimes it needs a little tlc but still lol pawn shops are easy money if you know how to shop
I recognize the pawn shop in the video, and I can honestly say that their electronics and games are super overpriced. I don't know about their other items, but I would not recommend that shop in particular

one fun fact about that laptop's touch bar, if you do any windows updates it breaks it completely
All the Pawn Shops in my area have ZERO returns lol
Love pawn shops; never know what you're gonna get. Just a shame countries I've been have terrible pawn shops >.>
You always ask to try shit at the pawn shop if they don’t let you, it’s a scam
On the Xbox one x vs series s, some of the games starting to come out as mainly series versions. So you may not be able to play all the latest games.
my 3ghz pentium 4 with 512mb ram looks much better than that laptop lol and it still works
I think Austin needs a backlog of games that isn’t multiplayer based.
One day I’ll see you in public I live around that area 😭
lol That sounds like a threat
@@awesomex1031 NOT A THREAT
10:31 What's that? Part of the machine that is infinity harder to repair than a single joy-con isn't working? Austin proves himself to be wrong about how the lite is superior? :P
The shoulder buttons on the switch lite are easier to replace than anything else.....
The right shoulder button is accessible immediately once the backplate is off. The left shoulder button needs to come off before you can replace the left joy con....
Replaced my joy cons on my switch lite 2 days ago. The hardest part was not to thread the tiny screws.
Super simple and straightforward, not sure what you're on about.
Dreamcast's are NEVER quiet.
Austin Evans scammed me
a little ipa and degreaser and that dreamcast will come up like new
It's content like this that makes me wish I could block RUclips channels from showing up in my search results.
Lol block the channel
14:55 This, THIS is the problem with modern day gaming.
The Mac Mini is an interesting buy. I might actually buy something like that just to gut it and casemod it to accept newer hardware, then build an ultra small PC into it. It would be a neat build anyway.
Would work fine as a little home media centre
I usually shop at goodwill and usually never have any issues

Dreamcast are normally noisy belive it or not, for many its a nostalgic sound, and you can still go online!! It needs a bit of configuration but you can still play online games, see rankings and even download DLC for games like Sonic Adventure.
Some games are still playable online for the Dreamcast via the Broadband Adapter through private servers, such as Phantasy Star Online, Toy Racer, and Quake III Arena.
anything that doesn't work is just a setup... never had an issue ordering anything anywhere ever... His lucks either insanely bad or these are just obviously fake videos to make the videos longer.... Guess he's the millionaire and I am not haha
That camara just for that stupid cable might be worth it.
You definitely gotta do some deep cleaning on some these products especially the Dreamcast
This guy always be getting scammed lol
“Suspiciously good deal”
Pulls out a $180 Xbox one X 😭
Austin is increasingly more out of touch in every video
I know the pawnshop he went to but i am surprised he got fake stuff from them.
I have a Ryzen 3400g gtx 970 I also have a Rx 5500 but it doesn't preforms as the gtx 970 whats the problem
I bought a custom Elite Series 2 controller, 4 months after using it, 2 buttons started going out and now are broken entirely.
Not covered by warranty even when it should be.
My original controller that came with my Xbox One X in 2019 is still working and ive abused it and thrown it multiple times.
$200 wasted on an official controller, that isnt warranty covered because they SELL a warranty that does cover it. Stupid stupid stupid.
Skyrim is playable on the Xbox One, if you buy the Xbox One version of the game. And it is optimised for the One X.
When he said that Dreamcasts were quiet, I almost laughed out loud.

Uhhhh…Brand new Dreamcasts back when they first came out….were loud. You can look it up. DC was always loud. Not a single Dreamcast was ever quiet. Not…one…..actually there was a Dreamcast that remained quiet….a broken Dreamcast.
