Being honest, I don't actually think it warrants it. This seller listed the items saying that they haven't actually been inside them, and the risk of me as a buyer is making that purchased based on that information. Morally, it's probably not great from them as basic checks could be carried out (for example the disc drive looks like it's been opened etc) but in terms of actually selling on eBay, they listed for Parts and Not Working with a description saying that they haven't been in the console.

Well done Joey. Out of interest, are you finding more and more sellers putting parts together for a console then to selling the whole thing as faulty?

@greamepenney5947 8 ай бұрын

You may ask sellers to supply photos of the consoles without the covers on to see if you can see if work has been done in them . May save you some money and time. Also if the seller is truthful they usually help with information and photos. I buy watches and it's amazing how much deception sellers will go to just to sell you something. With the no returns accepted on their adverts. If it's to good to be true and it doesn't feel right walk away.

@njones621 8 ай бұрын

As a seller myself, I wouldn’t do that. Waste of my time. As a buyer, I don’t buy from eBay sellers who sell lots of video game consoles fixed or not. Tells me that they know more than they are letting on when they say “untested” or “other issues may be present I am not aware of.” I have much better luck buying broken consoles from sellers who sell other items. Means they came across the console randomly and are much more likely to not have the ability to test, or just test on a limited scale and move it on without opening it up.

16:41 I wish you had a column that shows potential parts cost. I know you have a lot of spare parts, but a lot of us would want to know roughly how much would have actually cost. We don't have those that is why it would have been better to have that column.

@TylerDurden-pk5km 8 ай бұрын

The parts costs are included in the total - as long as only consoles are used that have previously been written off. Estimating the parts cost is not that easy if you buy consoles and then cannibalize them. You would have to do many assumptions.

Probably someone accidentally knocked your console and the port got damaged ,or just a faulty cable ,if it's not the cable the port is damaged and needs replacement

I have to ask: have you had any more luck buying up lots rather than one at a time? Or for that matter, trying to sell off some of your random inventory as sort of a grab bag at a price? Also, have to ask, has the nintendo switch market gotten really bad, or are none of them failing?

Hi Joey, do you ever sell via Facebook Marketplace? The reason I ask is that you wouldn’t pay any commission there, whereas eBay is almost 10%!

You probably know this but you can convert a disc version to a digital version by rewriting the bios. Coder has tons of videos on how to do this. IDK if it is financial worth but could be worth a shot if they are scrap otherwise.

Joey, it would help if you exposed the seller for the scammer he or she is before they burn someone else. They purposely swapped in bad parts and sold the system. It was not an accident and Ebay should shut them down

At least with PS5s ... high prices for the broken ones and comparatively low prices for the used ones. After shipping, ebay fees, etc. - you basically would have to be able to fix over 90% of consoles with an take an average of 1-2hours max to fix them. So not feasible.
