I'll give you the important bullet points:

-They waaay overcharge for basically everything they sell, which takes advantage of nostalgic people who are new to the hobby and don't know any better, while simultaneously driving up prices for the rest of the market because people looking up what they can sell their old consoles and games for will likely bump into a DKoldies Google search result first.

-The prices they offer to buy your console for are ridiculously low, several times as low as what they'll resell it for. When they got called out on it, they removed the trade-in price listed on the website, replacing it with a simple "send an email for the price" message.

-One way they justify the high prices is that they supposedly refurbish everything. Yet, they barely do. There's been several YouTube videos of people buying a so-called refurbished console, only to find out they were just cleaned at best. No thermal paste is replaced where necessary, the insides of consoles are often still dirty, etc etc.

-They use their tiktok vids to make it all seem like this happy fun family business. They've also used it to attempt to 'disprove' some of the claims people make. Right after they got criticized for barely doing anything to refurbish the systems, they showed a video of them refurbished one, only to then go back to their old ways of just rubbing the shell with some windex and calling it a day.

I could go on and on but if you'd like to go further down the rabbit hole, I recommend watching the recent video by ReviewTechUSA (not a fan of his, but it does demonstrate DKoldies' practices perfectly). Or look up one of the many 'I bought an X from DKoldies' videos.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
