We will then be using our profit on each console to build a sweet limited edition console collection (specifics will be revealed in next week’s video).

This dude single-handedly is keeping Goodwill in business.

[@jrob0021]

honestly it's crazy how much video game inventory this company has 😂 they have hundreds (maybe thousands) of video game auctions every day

[@lmuacky3793]

like fr lmao

[@YouTubeAddict50]

Fact!!

[@birdiemaradoth]

not really like goodwill is popular af

[@bradtraq1]

No way goodwill is awesome

[@GoldTU8E]

This has honestly been one of the coolest things I’ve seen tech KZbinr do. 900 pounds of consoles really could of been anything and it was so fun to watch the build up to the big lot with all the consoles.❤

[@jrob0021]

Just a clarification for anyone reading - this is NOT the final video in the series! We’re just getting started - still have to test every single console and do repairs/cleaning. Episode 6 will be next week

[@Weezerr420]

You paid at least 4500

[@jrob0021]

can you edit your comment so that people don't think it's the last video 😂😭

[@GoldTU8E]

@@jrob0021 👍

[@jrob0021]

@@GoldTU8Ethank you 😂

[@notagamer8782]

This probably the best way to be a video game reseller. You guys are going to bring these consoles back to life and back into the homes of people who will cherish them. If you didn’t buy them who knows where these consoles would go

[@cbgg1585]

Lmao, too much effort/trouble for my liking. I would much rather add to my real estate, crypto and equities portfolios. All you need to do is sit back (providing you invested properly) and watch the dough roll in.

[@666Natalia]

Truly a chad

[@skim7728]

Hey, just for future reference when you testing ps3. The static on the screen is deep colour issue. To fix it , go into the video settings and disable deep colour in video settings. Some models have this issue (i own super slim and slim ps3 and my slim ps3 has this issue while super slim does not) I don't know why this happens but it does for some reason

[@jrob0021]

Very interesting 🧐 thanks for the info

[@Jrodsly]

And I thought my 30lb boxes from Japan were crazy. This is absolute madness. I can't wait to see how many of these consoles end up working.

[@IamPotion]

where did you buy it from

[@Jrodsly]

@@IamPotion I just use a proxy service to import a bunch of things at once. FromJapan is what I've been using for almost a decade now.

[@IamPotion]

@@Jrodsly okay thank you so much. I’ve seen Japanese auction sites that sell decently cheap but most of them seem sketchy .

[@Itz_Dark_YT]

​@@Jrodslyhey how much does it cost u per box I wanna buy japanese tech games and Pokemon cards

[@Jrodsly]

@@Itz_Dark_YT It honestly depends on how much you've got in there. If it's a light box, it'll cost you something like 50 or 60 bucks to ship. If it's a heavier box, it'll end up costing you in the hundreds. Just make sure you get enough to make the cost worth it.

[@jagergerg9771]

I can’t wait for the upcoming videos. You really outdid yourself with this series, it’s very entertaining to watch

[@jrob0021]

I'm really glad people enjoyed it

[@jagergerg9771]

@@jrob0021 yeah definitely all your subscribers love this

[@bees_mcgee]

Loving this series, you have a very relaxing style and it’s always fascinating to see you break down consoles and explain the common repairs, or review online retails in consumer reports style content-great stuff.

[@imSpirit_]

Really been enjoying this series. Thanks for doing something new!

[@hostile7teen]

This was a great series! A little risky unloading all of those consoles in Texas heat. I'm from Houston so I know how hot it gets. Glad to see you made it through it.

[@chrisabanil2130]

I enjoy the evolution of your channel. It would be cool to do something like this for every state just to see what gaming history youll come by.

[@micoasters]

It’s amazing seing how far your channel has come. I used to watch during Covid when I had nothing else to do (I think I first watched the GameStop Star Wars 360) and then I stopped watching for a bit. I came back about a year ago while watching Scott the woz and it’s seems like a completely different channel. Keep it up!

[@ElectricoGamez]

As A Texan myself I can safely say, "THAT IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF JUNK I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!"

[@dublxml]

4:40 All you need to do is put the Cell Processor under intense heat to repair any micro fracturing in the board, after that, replace the thermal paste.

[@thomasrecyclingendeavours]

I have been enjoying this series a lot. I wanna see all the random weird accessories you got with this lot too

[@malekdahou95]

Now this is going to be a great series! Hopefully you can fix a load of them up and. Hope you have the soldering iron and A LOT of thermal paste at the ready 🤣

[@supergaminationworld804]

YES ITS FINALLY OUT! thank you for your content I can't wait to finish this vid

[@Yvng_remixer]

Really like all this dedication man, this channel really does deserve more subscribers. Seriously though, this really seemed like a fun thing to do.

[@jrob0021]

It was fun, exhausting, and expensive 😂

[@g0dm0nster8]

Keep up the hard work Jacob! Love your vids!

[@Mad-Cat-gaming]

The good part about the consoles that don't work is they can be safe for parts for the consoles that need fixed or new parts

[@YoungMrBlue]

2:58 a chrome one Nice find 7:38 ooooo an opus, that’s rare

[@jrob0021]

I love seeing the price guesses - I’ve seen guesses anywhere from like $100 to $15k so far 😂 keep the guesses coming!

[@LostLyfe_]

653 dollars because I bid on this same auction (I think) it became to much for me once it went above $500 you still got it for like less than a dollar per pound which is insane

[@cs8712]

I wouldn't pay more than $3.99/lb for old console meat

[@Flipdip7]

can i have a wii pls :)

[@kylecyr8999]

I would probably say $700-800

[@keiko6125]

You wont this for $250

[@Karmy.]

A video going through and cleaning/detailing every console would be so satisfying

[@Theepicyoutuber2024]

The series was good. You should do a lot more on this type of series.

[@doq]

The lot's honestly not bad, but that depends on the price you paid for it. Can't wait to see more of.... The Texas Load!

[@user_friendly86]

I honestly REALLY love this content. It's like how people love unboxing videos, except I love thrifting finds videos lol

[@allenvanhuss1591]

Man if you did more series like this I’d watch every one of them

[@CAJames902]

That slap on the Xbox Jasper.. Once you master it, you never lose it.

[@shawnmichalski2746]

I used to do a pallet of consoles a week when i owned my own console refurbishing biz. Pop out that Playstation hard drive and format it in a pc and pop it back into the console. That had fixed many a yellow lights I worked on.

[@leenny6256]

Im pretty excited to see video's of testing those consoles, Im sure some of them are going to have very interesting issuies

[@Tanzu15]

My old console refurbishing addiction was at an all time high watching this.

[@grunt22fox]

So I don't know if you know already, but I'll say anyway to be safe - for that backwards compatible PS3 and any other old fat model like it, you can solder some wires to a chip called the SYSCON on the motherboard and it will dump out error codes for whatever hardware problem it has. You can read some more about it over at PSXplace, would be interesting to see it used in a repair and have it be something as mundane as a capacitor!

[@kaitoukirby7287]

The piano you had was a Rock Band 3 Keyboard controller. Been meaning to pick one of those up for a while since I picked up Rock Band 3 again, pretty niche controller that unfortunately didn't make a return in RB4, but I loved the branching out to further instruments. The number of songs that got left out due to a lack of proper keyboard support always made me sad. It unfortunately came too late for the game it arguably would have made the biggest impact for (The Beatles: Rock Band, not having Let It Be or Hey Jude was almost criminal, but neither really fit since the game didn't have keyboard support), but thankfully an exploit enabled custom songs in Rock Band 3 that at least allowed those songs to make their way into a Rock Band game eventually. Fun times.

[@Stb988]

This is the KZbinr I watch when I am bored, this guy is probably one of the most underrated KZbinrs, he buys what nobody imagines

[@2000snostaligaman]

I miss this series. At the same time around these videos, I went retro game shopping mainly for the 7th generation and Jacob, you encouraged me to buy an Xbox 360. I’m keeping Such memories, the summer of 2023. 😌

[@patrickstafford8480]

I loved hearing him get excited by the models! “Oh it’s a jasper” “oh it’s a falcon” IYKYK

[@LuqahTCG]

Was waiting all day for this!

[@LordNelson6]

The fact theres a white 360 that works is crazy! Though theres got to be enough parts to make alot of working consoles.

[@bryanobrien2726]

I hope you guys picked up some smaller boxes and maybe a few storage totes to bring them all back in . The testing should make for some interesting viewing .

[@royaltyvillage.roblox]

The final episode is out! I couldn't wait! Ty Jacob for ❤ing my previous 2 comments and keep up the content!

[@gagadreams]

It's like an episode of Storage Wars! ☺️

[@itisnottaken4444]

You’re the best for real. I’m going to buy one of your fixes when you start selling. Love the dedication and passion you have for this.

[@Ironcraft55]

I’m glad that someone who can fix these console is buying them so that they don’t just go to landfills

[@borisdg]

Excited for the series!

[@Mohkaa]

im stunned considering goodwill never has that many systems in their stores

[@oddballcards9176]

Love this series !!

[@voteDC]

What happens with 360 disk drives is that the drive mechanism is no longer strong enough to break the grip of the magnet inside. By weakening the hold of the magnet, such as by keeping a disc inside, the drive will now eject every time. Given that the Wii is easier to mod than the 360 I would have thought that those systems would be of higher resale value, especially if you mod them first before selling.

[@AndreiB617]

Just take those PS3s to someone who knows how to read the syscon and see if their problem is the GPU or some chips on the board(don't remember what they are exactly) but they are repairable. Or do it yourself with information available on youtube/forums and if you have the skills and equipment. Basically the PS3s require reballing and/or changing some chips under the GPU/CPU but you find out exactly what they need by reading the syscon. There was a one hour long video or something like that on youtube that really explained basically everything about YLOD, documentary type thing.

[@ViaCristero]

this is such a good series

[@joes9954]

You can test the HD-DVD drives by plugging them into a Windows 10 PC. If it does not work but you see the memory units in device manager, MOST of the time that means the single capacitor on the power board has failed. Replace it and the drive will be back up and running. Better odds than a sealed Warner Bros. HD-DVD.

[@BSnags]

This was a great idea for your channel. Really looking forward to the rest of the videos. You selling these consoles on your site?

[@tylerdejong6930]

Glad youre back in NC. I'm from Austin and sympathize with your experience in the U-Haul. Stay hydrated!

[@TheJms1977]

Cool been waiting for this vid 👍👍

[@tinokosova3356]

Love the series brother! Definitely enjoying this kind of content!Keep them coming!? And my guess for 900Lbs- $1750.

[@0kayArt]

This man is a genius. Even if most of these consoles don't work he can still make like 10 or more videos on them and make more than he spent.

[@pcphoenix123]

It depends how much he paid... but yea he has many options to monetize it

[@Claugustus]

That piano thing is the Keytar for Rock Band 3. You can play Keytar mapped songs with a guitar for the color zones, but you need the Keytar to play pro keyboard mode.

[@thecalzone8857]

This is crazy, keep going

[@JoshNumber55]

My guy Jacob really smart with it he know ima watch this oh he know. Me watching so he can do it again and again. 😂😅

Awesome video, hopefully if you do refurbish some of those you make a decent profit. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@KennyFrierson]

Almost feels like goodwill made this just for Jacob

[@30cents]

The ‘piano’ is actually the Keyboard accessory for Rock Band 3! Super fun to use, but it does feel a bit cheap imo

One of your sponsors that I actually think I might like wow

[@killingerk]

remember if the chassis are break on the consoles you can usually buy really cool third party ones and make more money

How much did 408kg of consoles cost?

[@rinkincaid5470]

My ps3 super slim is a beast. My uncle bought it on release day and I played that thing everyday for years. It still works fine. The only thing is the power button fell off so I have to use a screwdriver to turn it on. My controller won't turn it on for some reason

[@badchannel7999]

Love ya videos man ! Got balls to buy that box x) Can i have a 360 tho ? XD
