DKOldies isn't for you - the Super Potato of North America

DKOldies is under fire recently, but can brand presence and a social media following justify high prices? I show games I purchased from DKOldies and talk about cartridge condition.

I prank called Joey so many times it’s been hilarious at this point. Should start recording them.

I get why that theyre wanting to do a markup, but in the same time, their mark-ups are too insane for my bargain brain. If i wanted something in particular i would look it up on ebay and even then- ive seen a video on a cosmetically flawed gen 1 ps3 (the ps3 with ps2 backwards compatablity) they bought that for $400. The inside of that console was never cleaned, and that was labeled as 'refurbished.' I wouldnt want to even go on their website with videos like that

Well, those scratches on the label are very common, especially for a cartridge that has been floating around loose. But I have to agree with Cybernatoruk, you were too generous. With that price point, I would expect better. But just like you stated at the end, DKoldies is for the general person who wants to experience some nostalgia every once in a while by just playing and having it. Different from being a collector.

[@richfutrell753]

Absolutely right. Variants matter to collectors. There is a guy on etsy who advertises Blades of Steel eith the Red Variant image but semds you the regular-ass game! DK Oldies is way overpriced for what they sell for sure. I never thought I would see SMB/Duck Hunt going for more than $10. BUT they do price their crappy games really low, so if you make repros then you can get some great deals from them!

about u wanting the same cart of ur memories, i bought a CIB pal gig version of doom snes (mint)...the same one i played at my cousin's home...it was quite the penny but it was worth the hassle, eheh

[@MaxwellCorrie]

also how clean are the connectors?

[@TheCybernatoruk]

Personally, I thought you were generous on your assessment. I would have considered all 4 of those games cosmetically flawed. There were scratches all over the labels. Great video though.

The guy on the video definitely got pay by dkoldies.
