I Bought a "Refurbished" PS3 Console from DKOldies... for $300??

So this was an interesting buy... dkoldies has been trending for a bit and I decided to finally buy something from them to see what the hype is. I picked up this refurbished Complete in Box PS3 console from DK Oldies, and in this video we're gonna see if it was worth the $300 (!!) that I paid for it. Let me know what you think!

My thoughts on dkoldies pricing… I get that they offer a long warranty etc, but their pricing is typically ~2x market price (if a GameCube sells for $100 typically, they’re selling it for $200). BUT, I think buyers are mostly to blame,not dkoldies. If buyers are willing to pay 2x market value for their consoles, why wouldn’t they sell it for that much? They’ll keep selling for high prices unless people stop buying

[@ClaytonCLF]

Here in Brazil, I bought a used PS3 in June 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, for R$850 (around $160 dollars), it was functional, but I had to refurbish it myself. I replaced the hard drive for a SSD, fixed the eject button, and needlessly replaced the thermal paste many times believing it would lower temps, going as far as delidding the CELL, only to go back to temps that were close to stock paste temps (it was at least unopened and surprisingly clean when I got it)... I'd say I spent at least R$300 for the whole job, but it still came much cheaper than I would have payed for a so called "refurbished" console around here. The used market here in Brazil is hideous, but I'd say it's better to risk getting something for cheap and having the trouble of fixing it yourself than overpaying for the same thing and having headaches because of shady businesses XD.

[@sharjeelahmed7913]

No it's not better to get something cheap and then fix it yourself. Pay a reasonable price but get a working one. Paying and then fixing it yourself is actually just as bad (or even worse) than paying double the price. Imagine putting all that hard work on top of spending your hard earned money on it

[@ClaytonCLF]

@@sharjeelahmed7913 Depends on the point of view. As an example, Game Cube controllers are extremely overpriced around here (R$250~R$300), but you can buy some janky controllers, usually only with a busted analogue stick, for around 40% of the asking price. Button replacements and sticks are so cheap, and nothing beats a good alcohol bath. Of course, you may have to do some soldering work if the sticks are completely busted, but due to the stick drift era, it's also very easy to find full stick assembly replacements. I've done something similar with PS3 controllers, which are still fairly easy to find cheap in good condition, but those that scream "refurbished", usually are not worth the extra price.

[@smartfox2295]

The virtual PS2 Memory Card that can be created on any PS3 is a feature left over from the PS2 backwards compatible models.

I first got my 160 GB PS3 Slim back in 2011 and it still works really great so far, even eleven years later. It's still a shame though that the later models of the PS3 aren't backwards compatible with PS2 game discs and I wish Sony would have still kept the PS2 backwards compatibility feature for all models of the PS3, just like they did with PS1 game discs even though I can still play PS1 games on the PS3.

I've always taken the term 'refurbished' to also mean something that's been checked (ie it works and all the bits that should be included in the box are there) and cleaned (surface and air vents only?). I'd then think it's been factory reset - or simply had any data or accounts deleted from the hard drive. (It might be worth checking the box to see if it's been replaced with another by looking at the serial number on the box to see if it matches that of the console?). Just my thoughts on this matter!

Well this Wavebird showed up, not in a box but a bubble mailer mind you, and hadn’t been cleaned, ever.

Love your content bro I love unboxing videos that's why I do same on my channel just love feeling opening packages keep up been watching for quite while, good work bro! 👏 P.S I've been seeing alot hype from DKOldies And Specially For The Price Should've Been Better condition which wasn't even Refurbished like you said it's basically just a Used Console in the orginal Box...

[@Star_Mans_Legacy]

I got an N64 from Disc Replay that was the Ice Blue edition for $150+ that came with the original Controller, AV cables, and one of those paks (Not an expansion pak). When meanwhile on DKoldies it would have costed me about 300+ or about 400.

[@Based_Department]

Uncharted 3 did always take really long to load up. I thought my PS3 was broken playing it back in the day.

[@bluebird_09]

Jacob just ordered!

[@jrob0021]

😂

[@DarkGT]

Would be great if they replace the caps that cause problem in PS3 as precaution to ensure problem free years of play.

[@user-vw6nb5bl3n]

My Milwaukee fastback is so dirty I'm jealous of ur brand new box knife

[@zincmann]

Jacob as a LONG time collector and reseller myself i would never buy from a DKOldies, I have read so many stories and it would go against my religion to pay that much for anything. And yes I get that you're doing this for a video but the quality should be "like new" on everything for that price. And for what you paid you should not once have to say you are being nitpicky, your expectations should be high. Every console or controller I ship I clean everything and I also wrap all cords up either zip tie, or fold them in a way they are all tight when they come out of the box for the customer and I dont charge half that much.

[@Full_Send_Gaming]

Yea it is a bit pricey but as a Pokemon fan there are a ton of fake copies of GBA and DS games on eBay and Amazon and if you have a Pokemon diamond, pearl, HeartGold, or SoulSilver and want a Pokemon from your copy of ruby, sapphire, FireRed, or leaf green, you must have a real copy

[@cyphaborg6598]

Just checked and yes they never packaged HDMI cables with any PS3 SKU. Not even the Super Slim which is weird knowing that Sony were the first with a HDMI port.

[@MarblesSoda]

I’m pretty sure the trigger was to be an extension for the actual trigger to make it better, I saw a video where someone had borrowed a controller with the attachment

[@jerrysnowland9398]

$300 is crazy!! I recently picked one of these up for $60 locally.

[@lm_dccxl4078]

that micro b cable for the price.... man. is like the $0.5 you buy in the local chinesse market.

[@duuke4618]

What kind of monitor is that? Looks pretty nice

[@oSIXO.]

Ikr

[@shagrath3]

Wow 300 for a used ps3 slim ? That was the original price when it first came out.

[@BlitzAMV]

Back in 2012 I paid 160$ for the same ps3 refurbished at GameStop, and it still working.

[@Tatenak]

That one there is a violation. XD L.m.a.o. 'Cause we all know Gamestop was on some b.s. when it came to "refurbished" consoles.

[@BlitzAMV]

@@Tatenak idk, maybe I got lucky, but mines still keeps going strong.

[@IHaveBadWiFiBro]

I got my ps3 for $60 and its the launch model, still going strong after taking it apart and adding new thermal paste haha

[@Sega_is_all_i_cd]

Yes they’re prices are ridiculous! They’re also smart and know how to get ppl’s attention! When filming buyer’s orders thats a smart sales tactic imo. I would never buy from them.

[@yuggsriddle340]

I got minds from a pawn shop for 60 bucks and it’s was in perfect condition pawn shops are your best bet to get consoles here in Florida

[@dustinmacdonald4465]

Did you pick for that shipping to be filmed

[@Shlumbus69]

The guy from dkoldies is super cool and nice and their staff looks the same, but I gotta say their up charging is very anti consumer

[@kumiliarostreamsarchives3079]

Bought the same model without the box and cables with the 300gb hard drive for 100$ canadian tax in 3 years ago at my local pawn shop .

[@unicornmilk8116]

I brought a refurbished ps3 ages ago in New Zealand for $40 nzd. Came with two controllers and a dozen games. Facebook marketplace is where the game deals are at.

[@freedomfrochaos7730]

Well, apparently DK doesn’t care about their systems very much

[@Valleyfeversix9]

I bought a used ps3 slim (250) GB from a swap meet. The guy didn't charge an @$$ load of money 💰 came with 2 controllers 2 games black ops 2 & 3 and a p0rn0. Paid 200$

[@cryptkeeperXxX]

Sounds like an awesome deal 🤝👍 enjoy you. And enjoy your movie 🍿

[@Valleyfeversix9]

@@cryptkeeperXxX I sure did. I enjoyed it a lot ✋👇👈👉

[@jacobknowlton847]

That's the console i currently own myself same model except i paid only 100 for mine which came with a bunch of video games and controllers this is just outlandish

[@shivanshsharma6163]

I got an excellent condition 120gb ps3 slim with 2 controllers and 2 controller charging cables for £80 from gumtree. The deal was pretty good!

[@filipgdr4074]

Back then DKOldies used to have good prices. But im guessing the pandemic and inflation took over

[@nicholasbriston963]

This is going to be fun

[@ReleasePain]

Back about 8 years ago, their pricing was good. Now, absolutely ridiculous. Their GBA Pokémon games are typically $30-$50 more than eBay.

[@gibace1591]

Them triggers look like the ones you was able to get for about £5 back in the day. They clip onto the L2 or R2 for extra grip.

[@Pacmanfan-po9rn]

$300???

[@jrob0021]

Yeh 😪

[@jessegarza4727]

Every time I see videos like this, I honestly wonder why people buy from DKOldies. I can't make sense of it. People are just nuts and lazy. It keeps these crooks in business 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Man_mannly]

How did you get that RAD black ps3 theme?

[@MrRhysReviews]

Funny thing is that the PS2 Games DON'T use those "Internal PS2 Memory Card" files... Each Digital PS2 Classic I've downloaded makes a unique 17MB File for itself under "PS2 Save Data" or whatever 🤷‍♂️

[@chadams7753]

I shopped with DK Oldies. I bought some very common games, Gran Turismo, cheaper stuff, it was fine. The rarer games and bundles are crazy, as well as Pokemon games, but to be expected. eBay is a sketchy crapshoot.

[@TheAbbeyoftheEveryman]

Nice try DKOldies

[@glizzyking2x413]

Man I straight remember opening my first PlayStation 3

[@usmanchughtai1751]

Got mine where they did the same thing but for $125 at my local retro game store
