How wild was this 900lb lot!? Let me know what you think, and I'll see you guys again next week as we start testing and exploring all of these consoles! Sign up for my free newsletter if you want to see additional updates and behind the scenes info on The Texas Load series: www.jrobgaming.com

i say you spent about $5800 at least at most $12.500

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

[@Baked_Potato1996]

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 😂

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@kACT-c5x]

I would probably say $700-800

[@keiko6125]

You wont this for $250

[@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

[@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

[@ElectricoGamez]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@Jusu]

How much did 408kg of consoles cost?

[@BusyGamerDad90]

R.i.p. the consoles bearing the weight at the bottom

[@baperacks-com6801]

The hard case Daniel son....the case🧘🏽

[@DimBeau]

I started your content with the DKOldies videos. Your videos kept showing on my front page. Now I officially clicked the Subscribe button! I though I already did XD

[@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

[@imSpirit_]

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

[@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.

[@jeremy2797]

why does a goodwill even have 900 pounds of consoles in the first place tho

[@DJboutit2]

Sitting in a dirty warehouse and forgot about them most likely

[@2000snostalgiaman]

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. 😌

[@AndrewBarsky]

Don’t try to be a hype beast, just tell us how much you spent.

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

Okay, so if all of the we consult work, then you can easily make money

[@iloveminorsandim52yearsold]

Considering you bought 900 lbs, it's gotta be maybe $6,750

[@gagadreams]

It's like an episode of Storage Wars! ☺️

[@toontownlegomaster]

oh no xbox 360s are back in the demand that's why your buying all these xbox's lol.

[@tayvaun09]

I can definetly imagine 2 dudes just grabbing and flinging each console in the box carelessly 😏

[@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

[@InsanityPrevails]

As for how much you paid for it... 7K?

[@UltraPokeZ]

I'm going to low-ball you probably paid about $400. Still a fun series you did definitely would like to see more. Just imagine if there was dkoldies consoles in there lol.

[@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.

[@776football]

Imagine all of the dust that you are going to find in those 😂

[@G-C-G]

It’ll be like the DK Oldies PS3 all over again!

[@2000snostalgiaman]

Just like how you are keeping Goodwill in business, I’m keeping my two retro stores in business.

[@Modzie868]

Gosh and I need a few xbox 360 slims and few xbox 360 jaspers so badly

[@dead_reaper6273]

I have a question do you ask them if they have untested games and buy all of them in the back or something or is it different

[@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.

[@Theepicyoutuber2024]

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

[@RunsWithKniefs]

I wouldnt be surprised if this was only like 600$ Why? This was probably pickup only which makes it so that nearly no one ever bids And being a giant/heavy haul, it makes it narrows the possible buyer pool.

[@ItsNaylen]

I would probably say like $900+ Because the amount of consoles in here is absurd… but nice video Jacob

[@expansys7141]

Lol you know you watch too much Jacob when you hear about a pallet of consoles in his last one and immediately click on his video with the pallet of consoles. My wife is like you think this is entertaining? YESBTICHTWFTTISWRONGWYOU

[@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.

[@medusajrjr]

I was watching macho nacho where he had shown off the gamecube nano. Using wii parts. With all those wii's would you ever consider building 1?

[@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 .

[@YoungMrBlue]

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

[@30cents]

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

[@justjack3075]

You got scammed 😂

[@rammyfier5088]

I'm going to guess it was like $2500. Any more than that just seems pretty unreasonable.

[@Stormy4221-ft3sn]

everyday a conman and a mark leave their homes...

[@CAJames902]

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

[@Easygoated3418]

Wow that is like a 10 year olds wish come true lol

[@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.

[@ChromesConsoles]

14:10 Jacob: "I Would not recommend slapping your Xbox like that" Xbox 360: Fine, then ill just close my disc drive >:C

[@thebuzzing]

These consoles are still all in better condition than DK oldies refurbished consoles. Let than sink in 👀

[@SalvadorSTMZ]

I would reach back out to goodwill and point out that several consoles were clearly tested and they advertised untested. At least they should refund a portion of your cost.

[@cyphaborg6598]

yup

[@jrob0021]

Yeah I actually reached out to them already because they advertised Wii U stuff in this lot but there literally was not a single Wii U item lol. Still haven’t heard back. I thought about including the thing about the “untested” ps3s as well but just left it at the Wii U thing for now. Hoping I can get a partial refund, honestly I deserve it cuz it’s pretty dirty to advertise Wii U but include Wii

[@milkman1026]

TronixFix would have a field day with these! Lol.

[@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!

[@hunter_7082]

Can I have one of the Xbox 360 s I’ve been looking for one😭

[@flouserschird]

The fate of all consoles. A giant box of corpses. RIP.

[@jimmyjones6086]

A lot of 360's and wii's.... waste of money this load

[@imnotbenavery9220]

I can’t imagine paying more than 2$ a pound if you were making deal not bidding. Since you picked it up that knocks many bidders out, it’s a pretty niche audience that would want this lot, I bet you paid less than 1k for the lot plus travel and uhaul rental. Hope this flips well for you!

[@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.

[@iDubzZ420]

Sell them to dkoldies and see how much they give you!

[@gamergerittv]

I guess you paid like 8 or 10 thousand bucks

[@THECHAOSEMPEROR]

I wish I had the money to do this, would be worth it even if most of the stuff ended up being a loss, would still love the experience.

[@supergaminationworld804]

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

[@Fogolol]

Man how i wish i could just reach in that box and just bring one console home lmao

[@TheChristianCollector]

Is there a video of u testing the wiis from this haul ?

[@kornweed]

Damn, that OG XBOX- has definitely seen better days 😵‍💫

[@ianbravogaming]

My guess is $1000. Seems like a low ball guess but im hoping you paid like a dollar a pound lol

[@beardalaxy]

Jeez man, starving kids in Africa could have eaten those untested consoles.

[@djpainkiller3326]

So annoying they just threw them in here carelessly did a nicely stacked them in the box kind of annoying just trashing them letting them get scratched and smashed around

[@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.

[@TheyLuvJokester]

I would say for the 900lbs it would be like $2-4K.

Build a Custom homebrew Wii into that 360 HD DVD drive enclosure? HEWL YEEEEE the UNHOLY union we didnt know we wanted

Id love to see a video just showing off all the save data on each Wii’s

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 🤣

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

[@venticated6012]

old cod games are back we need all the 360s lol

[@meticulouselectronics]

Are they just for content, or to sell? Cause Xbox 360 and wii seem to sit forever on my shelf. Ps3 sells fast though

[@Drayton226]

Untested my butt Jacob r 2023

[@xSkully_H]

I like your content but the more videos you post the more whiny you are becoming. Your buying super old and used consoles and are upset they are not the same condition as bnib.

[@plan7a]

What's a cow's favourite sound? Mooo-sic! What's a cow's favourite mooovie? The Sound Of Moo-sic! (Sorry, I WON'T do any more). (LOL). Looks like you got a lot of good stuff - if it works. (Makes you wonder, though, why they couldn't go through some of those and replace the shells, drives, etc. where they HAVE tested them. They could've got some fully restored, etc., easily then. Perhaps they didn't have time?

There's a special place in hell for people who knowingly sell broken stuff as "untested".

[@bigmeech3620]

Im gunna say anywhere from 1 to 5k is what you paid. I will say if you paid anymore then 1k its gunna be rough with needing to buy cords,controller's,parts, and testing...cleaning...fixing...and overall the time...not to mention i deal with retro games buying selling and trading almost daily and xbox 360s have to be the slowest selling retro consoles of all minus a few others.

[@GameLeo2007]

Dam dude I've been wanting some of the wii vc games just to own them and play if I ever wanted and the main way I'd be able to do that is with the wii store, sadly that's long gone but when you turned on the wii with Mario Kart 64 and Mario world I was like damm

[@kvjbreaker7054]

Imagine finding a ps4 or Xbox one x, or a ps5 in there. Zero chance but at the thrift store I work at I have had ps4’s donated. Also those giant cardboard boxes are called Gaylords. Not my word, that’s what we call them at work. Imagine if you had some old school gaming laptops or pc’s in there too.

if you don't know so there are ps3 slims that did not have led lights at all the only light that it had was the wi-fi light no HDD or power on or eject light. and little dots you see on the ps3 is from 480i rez mode once you bring it to 720p or 1080p it will go away it became a thing from a firmware update idk which one.

[@marcellachine5718]

Some of you are spitting out crazy numbers as to what you think he paid. I see lots of 5k, 8 k 12 k and 16 k guesses. For God's sake if they were all in peak working condition they wouldn't be worth that.
