Most consumers don't know that these stickers are actually illegal-and that's because manufacturers don't want you to.

Good work calling this out. If I were to pay extra for a refurb I expect a refurb. I won't be buying from them.

ya know, before you and jacob r started exposing them i actually had a cart with several hundred dollars worth of merchandise in it. im glad i started doing research and came across things like this

I love RTU's dad. Just helping his son do KZbin, taking stuff apart.

[@josuecervantes1757]

I’ve bought from them twice and ever since I’m seeing videos like this all the time. I’m not defending them but I’ve been happy with my purchases. I’m probably never buying from them again since I did realize they definitely overprice. I’m just glad I didn’t get screwed like many people it seems

[@rig85]

Well, you likely paid 3-4x what you should’ve. Some would call that being screwed.

This is totally sad to see a ps2 in that condition 😢

[@FreakinSweet1987]

What condition is that? I watched the entire video and it looked almost entirely fine for the most part. The back port was a little loose and the inside of the controller port was cracked (which wasn't visible without opening) but otherwise it looked okay. Rich is just being hyperbolic for the sake of making a video.

My jaw literally dropped when it made that noise from opening the optical drive. That is crazy.

[@TheNonchalantGamer]

That is mind blowing to me! I literally bought a PS2 Slim off Goodwill’s online auction shop, all it said was “Turns on when plugged in but not tested further.” Came with 2 controllers, 2 8MB memory cards and controller extension cord thing, $85 not including shipping and whatnot. Everything works perfectly I was stunned. If DKOldies sold products like what I got, then I could better understand a higher price, but Rich, what they sent you was disappointing and a slap in the face for people who spend their hard earned money and receive stuff in conditions like that.

[@IntheBay85]

I am amazed this console worked....especially the laser. A fart could take those things out back in the day.

[@KILLERONROAD]

I work in electronics configuration and repair. When we go through an order of devices to perform QA checks, devices that pass our standards get cleaned up. All of our devices from repair get properly cleaned, configured, and QA'd. DK Oldies clearly doesn't have any sort of actual process, it looks like someone lazily saw that it worked well enough to their standards and called it a day. This would have failed even the testing phase at my job, that's phase 1.

[@Drilbit]

It feels so wild to see review techs dad after all these years

[@44.caliberbrainsurgery63]

260 bucks for a PS2? What in the goddamn. You can buy a modded PS2 off some shady guy on the Internet for less than that and i bet the shady guy even did a better job cleaning out the system than these scammers.

[@Dj.MODÆO]

The worst part about charging this much for 20 year old hardware is that it may only have a life expectancy of 6-12 months. I would have gone with a PS3 myself as its hardware would be much newer, it plays ps2 games, and still connects to the internet.

[@pneumans]

Only some if the ps3 consoles play ps2 games. Just the original fat 60gb and 20gb had backward compatibility

[@t3mpomusic]

DKOldies: Let us put a warranty sticker on the console so they will believe we refurbished it.

[@Digita1Hound]

We should require companies like this to add sicker seals that at least show that they have been inside the consoles. I’m curious of what is the manifest, what did they fix, replace, or change?

[@LgGreen10]

I'm glad dkoldies is finally getting noticed for this

[@thinkdabs]

dkoldies: scamming people is our specialty

[@jeffu.8053]

I'd like to know what DK Oldies definition of "fully refurbished" is exactly. They definitely aren't following the guidelines and standards used by other companies that sell used electronic equipment.

[@duck_man1048]

A halfassed wipedown and a 300% upcharge! Lol

[@masterbourne8833]

I can see a massive amount of lawsuits coming DK's way and hopefully sooner than later.

[@kranibal]

I am so glad you are doing these reviews! Love this type of content. Thank you.

[@CircuitBird]

I followed DKO for a while. I wasn't aware of their scams, because I live in Britain, so, I wouldn't really have paid much attention to their pricings, etc. It was only when I watched your last video that I did realise. I've since unfollowed them, but they still plague my Twitter timeline.

I find it funny that the Ps2 I own was my dads and he stopped using it in 2007. It literally sat and collected dust and still works better than the crap they sent you. Literally the only issue is that it has a hard time reading ps1 discs

Both of you should mod your systems with FreeMcBoot cards and SATA adapters. That way, you can play PS2 isos directly from an SSD. No need for discs and aging DVD drives.

i found a ps2 for free a family didn't use for 10 years online. Decided to see if I could perhaps salvage a few parts. Completely works fine. Only a single scratch on the top plate with the logo. Only problem is how loud it can be. But after I mod it with an SSD, then it should pretty much be silent

UPDATE: It has arrived and the game is in great condition and playable! If it wasn’t in bad shape then they wouldn’t sell it in the first place. While I was waiting, I’ve been doing some searching on here about DKOldies and many of the videos point out their “refurbished” consoles and crazy prices for their systems as well. If you’re looking to buy from them, I would go for games not a whole console set. There are other alternatives for cheaper prices (Ebay, another retro game store online, or your local store).
