[@nakamahaki650]

TBH I bet they know you places a order for a video. Why else would they give you a good console I don’t believe they gave you a Xbox controller on purpose. They know your making this video. Next time use a different name and a friends address

NOPE!

[@KyleYoung2012]

Crazy how just because it's old people still think they can sell these for extremely over priced

[@duck_man1048]

Exactly, some consoles are so overpriced despite how plentiful they are. The only time that overpricing is acceptable imo is if they are rare

[@XRelays]

The worst offender of this is the backwards compatible PS3. The first 4 PS3 models (especially the first 2), are very rare due to being able to play PS2 games. The first 2 models actually have the PS2 CPU and GPU on the motherboard, but the later models have only the GPU. The cheapest one they sell is 500 dollars, and the most expensive one is 800 dollars. Not only do they not replace the thermal paste (despite the BC PS3s having awful overheating issues!), these early models suffer from GPU failure similar to what the Xbox 360 RROD suffered from. A good fix is by swapping the GPU with one from the slim models (60nm or 45nm). This repair costs 600 dollars (only 1 person does this in the US) and will make the console last for possibly a decade with proper care. It’s a better deal to buy a broken backwards compatible console for like 70 dollars and get it repaired, than it is to buy a PS3 from DKoldies.

[@huntish]

They are worth it to someone or they wouldn't sell

[@The92Waffles]

Idk anything about DKoldies but maybe the peace of mind of knowing you're buying a claimed refurbished console from a company that has return policies, customer service, etc is worth the extra $$$ over buying it from a rando on ebay? but yea idk if DKoldies has those customer service options

[@shecklesmack9563]

That’s when happens when game collecting becomes mainstream. It’s being sold as “Retro Console Xbox for hardcore retro gamers” rather than just a naturally depreciated item.

[@robertkennedy8503]

$260.00 seems excesive, if they had replaced all the capacitors, and upgraded the hard drive with a newer/ bigger one maybe it would not be so bad, but since it's pretty much a stock console I'd say yes, you paid too much for it.

[@russellclos4787]

That’s how much a original Xbox upgraded with even a 750GB HD is worth. With 2 controllers🤷‍♂️ and component cables. Maybe a little more if you included a Original Xbox HDMI adapter instead

$260 for an og xbox is just insane and the whole "Its a business they need to make money" thing just doesn't fly when game stores with more expenses sell for less. Just last month I picked up an og xbox for $100 with an oem controller. Not only that but the few times I bought from Dkoldies due to them being the only one with a certain game and happening to not be wildly overpriced on that item the quality has consistently been poor to the point of not even bothering to check if a disc was nearly cracked in half.

Yeah, that's close to what I ASSUMED these things sold for? I recently got $200 for an original Nintendo SNES system in decent nick (no serious plastic colour fade) with a few games & 2 original working pads, and was AMAZED how much interest there is for old Nintendo systems! I was only ASKING $150, but within an HOUR I'd received nearly a DOZEN offers on a local 'craigslist' type used item selling website! However my original XBOX with a professionally installed XBMC mod chip didn't get NEARLY as much attention... But if people are paying ~$100+ for these things then maybe I'll list it for sale at again on a few sites?

Thank you for talking about the clock capacitor! I was not aware of this issue at all! I looked up the manufacturing date and mine was from July 28, 2003 which would be version 1.4. I opened it up and the capacitor was slightly fatter to which i immediately removed it. Thankfully it did not leak. You saved my Xbox dude! Thanks for the heads up!

i did the same my brother bought me a original xbox with 2 controllers 7-8 games for 120 back on christmas of 2020 when i learnt of the capacitor i opened it up and man was it dust so many dust bunnies like literally it was bad so i saw the capacitor and i think i got it just in time because it was bulging a bit a tiny bit of the acid got on but it looked recent cleaned it up well yanked the capacitor out then dusted the heck out of it now it looks like it came out of the assembly line but the thermal paste and stuff im not that worried i wont worry until something does happen these systems have lasted a long time oh yeah mine was i think a 1.2 or 1.3 and i have an extra xbox thats a 1.6

I would not have it this way in my ideal form of government. & For the record I’ve never shopped from his store😂 my point is a lot of these people in the comments are probably under 21 and don’t know what it’s like trying to run a retail store in this day and age with a targeted demographic like 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. It’s hard to live off $10 of profit when taxes, employees, insurance, and supplies.

When you said they included an official power supply that's not exactly correct, power supplies built-in all you need is a regular power cable, the little adapter looking thing in your box was intended to be a strain relief to help a problem with early revision power supplies where the solder joints cracked on the AC input potentially causing a fire

[@TooBokoo]

For $260, I'd expect all the capacitors on the motherboard and PSU to be replaced, new thermal paste as well as a new drive belt. Also, I wouldn't call anything you said nitpicky when you paid that much, especially when you consider they probably paid peanuts for this thing. You know they're not buying anything from people for a fair value. I made fun of DKOldies for their ridiculous prices on Facebook a few years ago, and they immediately blocked me. Not only overpriced, but soft as hell!

[@Salvatore-xs]

I think for a refurbished console, I would expect the thermal paste to have been replaced, but other than that looks a nice console. I bought a refurbished hard modded OG Xbox, which had marks on it with a 500GB hdd, quite a few games installed all for £60, very happy with it.

[@TooBokoo]

For $260, I'd expect new paste, new capacitors on the motherboard and PSU as well as a new drive belt, especially when you consider they probably paid pennies on the dollar for this thing. You know they're going around and buying bulk lots for cheap or giving people garbage pay for their trade-ins. Considering the layer of dust he found, it looks like they open the top, blow some canned air in there, seal it up with a warranty sticker and take two minutes on the shell with a magic eraser.

In my opinion, at least DKOldies gives people an option to buy old games for *relatively* lower prices when compared to whatever's going on at Ebay due to how every possible game from there just becomes a "rare" gem and gets it's prices spiked up to heaven and beyond, like when people started selling old Mario games for absurd prices for example.

Not saying they'd be shyster's enough to try it, but there's always a possibility they're doing an EXTRA thorough job or sending you OEM controllers if they know you as a popular KZbinr.

[@nuckenfutz9983]

1. Checking if the console keeps time in such a fashion isn't actually testing it. The capacitors for the power supply can provide sufficient power for some time - even without a clock cap. Bare minimum you must unplug it and spam the power button for at least 20 seconds 2. That thin layer of dust is from cleaning the system of dust with compressed air. It removes almost all of it, but leaves that thin layer. I've considered using an ultrasonic cleaner or a bath in deionized water, but nah. You should've gotten a 1.0 to 1.5 to Really see what kind of refurbishing they did - putting extra focus on the clock capacitor area. I do this exact same work and the clock cap area is a night and day difference. I usually remove all large components for full access to all problem areas.

$260?! I got mine 3 years ago from a Goodwill Outlet, for $5. A first launch model from October 2001. The case was unopened, so the first thing I did was dust it out, snip the clock capacitor, test the disc drive (surprisingly functional), and modchip it. Next day I somehow managed to find not just a slightly battered but serviceable AV cable (which not being connected led to the orange ring warning), and just after I ordered a slim controller knockoff, found a Duke controller in near mint condition. Mods and peripherals combined brought that to about $50. Total cost after binge buying every Xbox disc I could find on a buy 2, get 1 free sale when they were already marked down to $2 each, maybe $20?

In decent condition but quite expensive for what it is though OG Xbox consoles are getting expensive nowadays - even faulty ones can go for a pretty penny. My one is an boxed early crystal one that I picked up for 30 quid years ago, it started glitching on screen (it is a 1.5 model) so I had it completely refurbed including new capacitors (including clock), cleaned out, new thermal paste, new dvd drive belt and a 2tb hard drive with roms and emulators on so it is a proper nice machine now..

Dude here In Saskatoon the price's are at $79.99 plus texas or in a Combo with a few games for $99.99. Paying $260.00 for an OG XBox is nuts. DKoldies price's are Ridiculous way way way over priced. You could find System on EBay for half that with Shipping cost.

A lot of DK Oldies prices are a bit much for me. I really wanted to order from them, but I'm not sure I want to pick something up that'll I'll have to check and make sure is in working condition. Its sad, really wanted to get a Dreamcast from them.

picked up an og xbox from someone on craigslist for $60 with 2 oem remotes, 4 ddr dance pads, & a huge collection of games. condition was flawless too, i opened it myself and only had to replace the rubber band in the disc tray. $260 is definitely overpriced lol

I recently got an OG Xbox at Value Village for $20.99. Came with an OG controller with all cables. It’s an old version with that clock issue a lot of Xbox’s have in the long run but after opening it up and noticing it wasn’t leaking I was able to get it out with no issues. My brother also found the last revision of the OG Xbox (the one without the clock issue) out in someone’s yard (they were throwing it away) which fully works and it came with two controllers ( 1 OG, 1 madcatz) U can definitely find Xbox’s out n about and if ur lucky you can find a fully working Xbox for cheap. So $260 is def not worth personally

[@brodybowerman-rogers1787]

1.0-1.4 you need to remove the clock cap because it leaks but the system dont need it so can be remove 1.6/1.6b require the clock cap to boot safely without damaging the motherboard. They do still leak as I have found dozens that do leak

Considering the latest Xbox supports all Xbox games, The only value you get is nostalgia, which is up to the buyer to decide if 260 is worth it

[@DannyTheEditor]

That's actually not true at all, the Series X can only play about a quarter of the 360 library and a mere 63 of the 993 original Xbox games. The backwards compatibility initiative is great but they're nowhere near full compatibility.

[@UndergroundLookingUp]

Question on what you would price an OG Xbox: Not refurbished but cleaned. Reads discs but disc drive slips sometimes and needs a slap and Aftermarket Controller, No exploded Capacitors inside. Tops not scraped up.

[@mr.everything4941]

I got my Original Xbox for $40 about 6 years ago. I got it at my local video game store. It came with the original controller and the original hookups. I did not have to pay extra to get the original stuff. The owner of the store never claimed that the console was refurbished but it was cleaned and working. I will admit that not too long it stopped powering on. Before I opened up, it looked my console had never been open before. It ended up being the capacitors inside. I order new capacitors on Ebay and replaced the old ones. My Xbox is now back up and running. Now, was I disappointed my Xbox just randomly stopped working? Yes. I was not furious because I only payed $40 and my console was never called “refurbished”.

[@GeekyMitch]

So basically as long as you buy the 'good' condition ones, they actually clean them at least. Which I guess is a massive improvement over what most folks are getting.

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

And a majority of people don’t know the actual numbers behind having 12 employees, rent for your shop & your home, cleaning materials & insurance, still paying taxes and then you can think about profits. If DKOldies went outta business as a result of inappropriately pricing himself no one else could enjoy a knowledgeable, high-volume warehouse of retro video games; and that’s a fact. Sometimes I don’t wanna save $50 if it means the business survives or doesn’t

[@kidpiper9642]

The power supply was built into those systems. I only ever got just simple power cords with mine as far as I remember. Maybe I just got used systems and never had the original 'power supply' myself but that thing doesn't look familiar to me.

[@jasonsteele901]

I say let the reseller know. I have a og Xbox. first thing I did is pull it apart and remove and add new thermal past. Did everything you checked. I have the DVD remote and sensor. component cable option. never thought I could get 260.00 for it. On top of it, mine is super clean. I feel that price was a bit high. I hope you could get some back.

You can sometimes get a brand new Series S on sale for that price. Shameless pricing from DKOldies

[@skanhunt4256]

I have no problem with DK oldies charging as much as they please . I just know eventually it’ll be really bad for vintage gaming. Eventually other stores will try and up they’re prices because they see people buying these things in these prices. So I’m the future prices for vintage gaming stuff will go up in all stores .

Recently bought one from my relative for $40 with 2 controllers and a few games, the prices now are insane and more people need to know that these products arent worth the inflated price given the age and maintenance that hasnt been done that will be needed.

1. What was with that "power supply"? I've had 2 OG xboxes and they had those plain power cables with no supply box on it. And YOU KNOW already that they don't open them up and replace thermal paste or clean them inside. They showed what they do in their video - they vaccum the vents- that's all they do.

[@Akuajin]

Wiped down, Can of air cleaned and a new drive belt and by new i mean re-positioned so the flat spot is moved so the drive door will open sometimes = "Refurbished" /send it

Their cleaning department only knows how to use the magic eraser and isopropyl toothbrush. Their refurbishing department, if you can call it that, only knows how to replace the battery in Game Boy Pokemon. People still think this is somehow worth spending $200+ more than the rest of the market. I think it's the "free" garbage that they include when they film orders that people love so much.
