Lukie Games VS DKOLDIES - WHO HAS THE BETTER PRICES!?

[@NicktoonsA]

One thing I will say about LukieGames is that they will send you a replacement free of charge along with you keeping the original. I bought Kirby’s Adventure awhile ago and it arrived broken but they sent me a new one within 3 day(Might be because I live in the same state) But all my stuff from lukiegames have come in great condition

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Awesome! Very refreshing to hear. I'm rooting for them here. I have a original Xbox console coming!

[@anonymousprofessor8866]

@@OfficialChaseBrogan Truth be told these guys DKOldies are just scam artists with a business license. They are hurting the integrity of true price points of these games while banking on folks (Soccer Moms) lack of retro game knowledge, nostalgia and/or FOMO. Great thing is channels like yours provides a bit of insight into this wacky world of retro gaming, it's glory and all of its short comings.

[@ASMRDASTRO]

​@@anonymousprofessor8866 I bought a Ps4 500gb and 5 games from DKOldies and when it arrived I plugged it in and turned it on and it looked fine but once I tried connecting it to the internet it was console banned permanently and I told DKOldies that an asked for a refund but they said they couldn't do one so I contacted my bank and got my money back.

I've been a Lukie Games shopper for years now and they're awesome. I've had issues with things and they have always been A+ service.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

That's awesome to hear. Very happy with my experience as well. They do what they say they will do in advertisements. I've never had an issue that needed customer service's help but many have said exactly as you have that they handle everything quickly and efficiently.

[@scottlinux]

The store software DK uses (Big Commerce) allows the owner to edit product reviews and ratings. Seemingly all positive 5-star reviews on almost all items should be a big sketchy red flag to anyone potentially looking to buy from DK. Cheers,

[@chrisr1679]

So i want to add that when looking at reviews, you had it set to top rated first, so all the best reviews would show first. I honestly havent looked to see if DK oldies has any bad reviews and if they weeded them out but i will say for future reference to try to sort it by lowest stars. Otherwise great video and it makes me want to try out lukies!

[@BombzOnZombz]

Back when I did start recollecting my games. It all began with a DK Oldies advertisement and this was 6 or 7 years ago. But I did research and that's where I seen a Lukie Games ad in my search. And I haven't ever looked back at DK Oldies.

[@ungabungus01]

Outrageous prices for that xbox. For the n64 a genuine first party controller would have been nice also. Crazy price for a ps2 as well. Ebay is your friend

[@Prettse]

I have never bought anything from DK Oldies but I once bought some N64 controllers from Lukie Games and aftter two exchanges (three sets of controllers sent back and forth), I gave up and just got a refund. Every single ones they sent me had really really bad analog sticks that either didn't work or were difficult to move. Not really sure how to describe it other than the sticks were hard to push with my thumb, they were so tight.

[@jesseseehawer5840]

That's just the nature of n64 controllers. Sticks are poorly designed. I've never had a good one.

[@P_D-px6iv]

N64 sticks just suck unless you get a steel stick upgrade

[@xdoodlebear]

I know this is an old comment, but I also had this problem, but I didn’t return it because of the hassle. I’ve shopped with lukie for 10+ years and they always resolve any issues. With that said I think the issue with a stuck or hard to move joy stick is because it’s probably been replaced with a aftermarket joystick.

[@velvetpilot2008]

It's funny. I remember not long ago nobody ever said "Go to eBay" or "Just stick with eBay" cause the price gouging on there is terrible. But now Lukie Games and DKScammies have given everyone a reason to really love eBay! I love eBay too!

[@DevoFett]

Can’t wait to see part 2

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Lukie games is much better. I been using them the past 2 years, ordering lots of games. They're great! Any defective game, they replace. Their shipping is fast too. One negative is their prices have gone up, but still worth it.

[@gamestuhthereturnoftoxicity]

But the question is do they refurbish they consoles because if not Lukie games isn't any better than DKOldies

[@Marc_Araujo]

I have a PS4 in great condition w/controller CiB with the vertical stand CiB and the first PS4 camera. I wonder which of the 3 mains (DKOldies, LukieGames, and ThisIsGameRoom) would give me the most for them?

[@lexbeltran1354]

Go to their websites and ask them

[@Marc_Araujo]

@@lexbeltran1354 Was wondering if anyone had past experiences selling things to them and how it went?

[@Dig_Duke_SFM]

WOOO THE WAR BEGINS!! Next up, lukie games vs Thisisgameroom?

[@mantlecollector]

The huge crack he had to repair himself. What if they shipped it out without the crack and the crack got there due to the shipping company of fedex or ups or usps. Mishandling it. Maybe threw the package on the porch rather than place it there

[@jesseseehawer5840]

I used to buy games from lukie. The only one that didn't work was ff7 ps1 and it was only the second disc that wouldn't work. Had to play to that point before discovering it didn't work and vy then the warranty had passed. Every other game I got worked though. They're good, not perfect.

[@greenwho]

N64 is more expensive on dkoldies they charge more to include the power cord and av cable

[@Ultrontu]

i bought from lukie games before loved their service they have better prices for sure dont get me wrong they have some on there thats more money than dkoldies but overall there way better

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

That's what I've been hearing. Looking forward to my order coming in in the next day or two

[@Tonio0412]

I wonder how much money would i pay to get Pokemon Red Blue and Yellow compared to Dk Oldies!!

[@carbonfibre_]

I love the condition that lukie games sends games though. I got Far Cry 3 with the online pass still unredeemed 😂

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

That's sweet I think my order comes tmrw so I'm stoked to check it out. Really rooting for them

[@Wes36Man]

What’s the expiration date on that thing

[@Steve.Cutler]

It's not difficult to track consoles by serial numbers at least. The vagueness on these sites is intentional. Dk just deletes the worst reviews. I think dk actually posts fake positive reviews. We need to find the people that got a bad deal and left negative feedback that wasn't posted on the site!

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Agreed that's one thing I'll say with Lukie they leave the reviews up even if they aren't great which is good. I think we can all agree not everyone is always going to be happy with every company so we expect to see some reviews that aren't great on occasion. Dko with all 5 stars is clearly not accurate

[@CostelloPlays]

Cool 😎🙂

[@chasejackson7248]

I bought a ps3 from Lukie and they gave an original controller so it could be hit and miss on the controller

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

That's good to know!

[@warmsignal]

I don't look for systems, but Lukie Games has hilariously bad prices on any game that's somewhat popular or hard to find. If a game goes for $40 on eBay, they want $120. If it goes for $100, they want $280. It's always more than twice what it actually goes for, I think that's their ripoff rule of thumb. If you think DKO is bad on games, Lukie will make em' blush.

[@soccersensation]

Anyone being objective can't really make an argument for either company unless you've used them both. Their prices are relatively similar so the price argument is out of the window. DK clearly doesn't refurbish all of their consoles like they claim so that is a huge red flag. On the other hand DK does offer a 1 year warranty on all products. I've seen and heard good and bad stories for both companies with regards to receiving good products or getting issue resolved. Let's not just jump on the bandwagon of bashing one or the other having not used them both.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Got Lukie games review video / unboxing coming out tomorrow or the next day at the most. 👍🏻

[@soccersensation]

@@OfficialChaseBrogan I'm looking forward to it. I not too long discovered them and just placed a few items in my cart but I plan to do some research before buying. Most of the items are cheaper than DK but there are a couple that are actually more expensive. DK gives you the option of "cosmetically flawed" or "good condition" but I don't see such on Lukie. I guess with the type of items we're buying it will always be a risk.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

That's true! Always a risk. Maybe they don't sell cosmetically flawed? Not sure there. I only heard of Lukie about 2 weeks ago but pleasantly surprised. Some stuff is more expensive although I found that when diving deeper into DKO most actually isn't because DKO posts the cosmetically flawed price on items so when you actually click on items the price for "good" brings it up considerably.

[@P_D-px6iv]

​@@OfficialChaseBrogan Lukie Games "discounted" products are their cosmetically flawed, for example if you look at say the PS2's and press on the "Playstation 2 Slim Silver System - Discounted" in the Description it states ~ "Please note that this system has cosmetic flaws and has been discounted appropriately (flaws may include marking, small cracks, discoloration, etc)"

[@smokegames1179]

fb marketplace its where its at i bought a ps vita here in the philippines for 55usd when converted. 😂😂

[@ianhowe338]

Everybody doing these videos talks about the prices as though they don’t understand how businesses work. DK oldies seems to be a shady AF company, but if they are shady it’s because they are misleading their customers. Period. Not because of the price. The price is irrelevant. If I list my original childhood N64 for $5000, that’s my right. It’s of great sentimental significance. If you’re dumb enough to buy it, that’s on you. The consumer has SOME responsibility. The other thing I’m hearing is people comparing individuals selling personal items on eBay with companies selling products on websites. There really is no comparison. I saw a youtuber point to the price dkoldies offers for n64s ($35) and then showed what they were charging (I think they were selling them for like $200). He then said, indignantly, “That’s $165 profit!” I just shook my head. The amount of money that the company pays to acquire inventory is just one of their expenses. I would have thought that’s obvious. If you got a console for $35 and sold it for $200, then yeah, fine. But for an actual company the gap between the price they pay for their inventory and what they charge has to cover ALL of their overhead. All of their expenses. They have infrastructure to support their business. They have to have offices, warehouses, employees. They need to pay for the electricity to keep the lights on, oil to heat the buildings. They have to pay to keep their site online. There’s a reason they’re cutting corners. When you order fries at McDonald’s you aren’t just paying for a couple of potatoes and a pinch of salt. You’re paying for McDonald’s to exist.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

I agree on businesses having overhead and costs. I own a fairly large business with a physical location myself so I definitely get that however in this case their prices more than cover their payroll and overhead. The issue with them isn't pricing alone. It's pricing for what they advertise which isn't what buyers in most cases receive. You're advertising refurbished consoles and sending out stuff that was never refurbished. If it was actually refurbished then I get the higher cost and can justify it within reason. Can't do that with DKO. Lukie games I'm going to be checking as soon as my order comes in. Prices are higher but I'm okay with it if the condition is as advertised.

I know I'm off topic, but do you know how I can get my high scores to save in my arcade games on the steam deck? My neo geo games seem to save their score, but other old school dkong, pacman, etc games don't save. I have seen some posts about using a hiscore.dat file, but some of the locations people say to save it I don't have on my deck. Any help would be appreciated?

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

I'll have to look into that one I don't have any experience with that on there currently so I'm just not sure at the moment.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

[@thefilmdirector1]

Prices for both are straight up scams, If they show USD prices i cant even imagine the CAD sticker shock. Better off going to ebay or a local pawn shop.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Prices aren't scams. There's nothing misleading there. Doesn't mean it's a good price but we know it's high going in. I get it to an extent with some stuff but most is beyond what I'd be willing to pay personally. I can't fathom paying $100 for a GameCube game for example that was 1/3 of that price new 20+ years ago. This is where emulation gains some serious steam. I do like eBay but you definitely have to be careful on there. Lots of shady sellers looking to waste your time. You're protected as a buyer but disputes and resolutions take months still. Found that out with a ps5 I got scammed on.

[@charleybarley7148]

Overall, I've had a good run with Lukie Games. Once they sent me a damaged UN Squadron even though it was listed as being in "good" condition (no cosmetic flaw). That kinda sucked, but it was one strike out of maybe 20 orders. They once also sent me the wrong Batman game on the Game Boy (I ordered Animated Series and they sent me Batman: The Video Game). But, after being notified, they sent over the right cart and let me keep the other one for free. So, that one worked out for the best, but it was a mistake on their part.

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

I'm okay with giving them a pass on a rare issue for sure. 1/20 isn't bad at all. I got a Xbox console so I'm unboxing that tonight and I'll do a video prob out tmrw on that.
