I decided to check out DK Oldies, so I ended up picking up a Nintendo Gamecube and WOW was that a mistake.

    I know people do it for content why even bother when everybody knows they are a scam.
  • @TotallySearch
    DK Oldies scams harder than Firework stands with sparkler prices.
  • @tmc9118
    I originally thought to myself how does D.K. Oldies stay in business but with what their charging they probably have stacks of cash selling crappie systems for high prices
  • @akirafuudou2037
    DkOldies deserves to be criticized if they actually screwed the pooch on this, however, it was in your best interest to actually hook this console up and test it. Actually receiving the wrong console is a pretty big issue. Gamecubes are region-locked and run at a different voltage according to region. Japanese 'Cubes also only have support for one language in the settings--which is Japanese. Therefore, you'd be able to instantly confirm whether or not you actually got the wrong thing or if the console you got was a lazy shell-swap. If it were the latter, that honestly wouldn't be much of an issue compared to them lying and sending a Japanese one instead of a US one.
  • @ExcelMK
    Was it at least region switched, you didn’t even show us what region it loads into the menu 💀💀
  • @Solidier1
    You should do a video going to DK Oldies store and talk to Joey and the DKO Family.
  • @user-tv5hl8zu9s
    I'm grateful to you for showing me your VIDEOS you are a cool honest person
  • @animosity3771
    i can’t imagine trying to buy physical again after modding my consoles…
  • @Svnfold
    Your order did not get picked to be filmed 👀
  • 1. Why would you buy from them? 2. Did you learn a lesson from getting scammed?
  • @Incognito_99999
    Everyone is scamming these days when it comes to buying and selling games and systems. I can’t believe the prices for shit and this dumb grading system that makes people believe their games are worth thousands of dollars. It’s insane.
  • @alex_red2073
    Was planning on buying from the a huge order and I knew it was overpriced but for where I live its really hard to find retro gaming stuff and to find all I want in one place bc its easier but I'll definitely pass on them I don't want to overpay and get stuff like these
  • @chozen5917
    I bought an N64 from there one time.. I paid for the condition to be good with no appearance issues. It came with scuff mark and huge scratch. They emailed me back after I requested to return and they said that I need to specifically request a console in collectors condition with no flaws 😂😂 even though it’s the same price
  • I was at a yard sale retro game hunting and I saw joey ftom dkoldies there. I fugured he must of been getting stuff for the store. I was about to approach him when ge started arguing with the guy running the sale. At one point joey was saying he was gonna crash his car (jeep grand Cherokee) into in the guys house unless he got a good or price on super Mario sunshine. Anyway when i waved hi to joey, he had a bloody nose and he winked at me. Weird.
  • @nizmatic
    We know they are overpriced, we know they come dirty. But you should have showed their warranty sticker on the GameCube when you pulled it out of the box / opened it. Didn’t see that on it anywhere.
  • Gamecube is region locked. Is it modded? Will it even load that Shrek 2?
  • @redx13zero
    You should have really tried the console out they could have physically modded it so I can play American games there's a way to do some soldering so then it accept American games also they could have just swapped out components the board could have been bad on the American one and use the Japanese shell it was a little bit better condition.
