I actually started my channel with this computer about I think it was two weeks before, wooh, that sound. I think I started my channel like two weeks before you did.

Wow, show off. Well, I mean, one of us made it, and the other one's working for the other one now, so.

Oh, yeah, that worked out for me. Who is showing off now?

(laughs) This guy is rocking at two gigahertz Core 2 Duo, two gigs of RAM, as well as 128 megabyte Radeon 2400 XT. Now, the main thing here upon looking at eBay is that we didn't save money. We actually lost a little bit. Not exactly a terrible deal considering the condition, and a lot of the sets that you see on here for this price also don't include a mouse and keyboard. So, it's not too far off.

Okay, so we're within a few dollars of what this is worth but we're a little bit expensive. Do you feel old yet, or no?

A little bit, a little bit. Do you know what you can do to feel even older?

Right, we bought this, too, and we can actually if I go into extras play my favorite game of all time.

Really? It's not here. Whatever that game is with the moving line on the bottom, the ball that bounces off the blocks.

Oh, gosh, I know what that's called. It's Breakout. Sure. Oh, and if we're lucky, someone's music is on here already.

Oh. Oh, it's Michael's iPod, that's his name. Michael. That was our previous owner's name. Okay, so music, go to power, oh, okay.

Oh, no. Okay, so the battery might be shot. Oh, it just shut off.

Oh, no. That was enough to brick it and put it in recovery mode.

Oh, no. So, we cannot listen to Michael's music anymore. (laughs) Oh, no.

You can get some of them on eBay for around the same price. A lot of 'em are in poor grade like this one. The main thing is that you can actually get them refurbished.

Oh, yeah, it's by a third party but it's $240. So, theoretically if the battery is okay. This is not a bad deal.

Yeah, no, in theory it's not a bad deal. I think it could be better but $100, you know and maybe a DIY project to have fun with on the weekends. I think that's okay.

So, did we make the right decision in buying a lot of very expensive electronics from pawn shops? Generally, yes. The MacBook is an okay deal. It wasn't particularly good but the important thing was is that we were able to get it and it works pretty much just fine.

The PlayStation, I'm actually pretty proud of while the price wasn't anything special the condition is actually really impressive.

Now, on the Apple TV front I think it's fine, I think a lot of people would prefer this over something like the Chromecast and the important thing here is that we actually got it for slightly less than what we would normally pay.

The Switch is an interesting one while it does have some slight damage I think that's well worth the $60 that we saved in buying it and especially if you don't care about the dock or you wanna pick it up for cheap pretty solid.

Xbox, two thumbs up, $100 is really hard to argue with considering just how much of a console you're getting Blu-ray player all that kind of stuff.

And that leaves us with the old school Apple products iMac, this one was a little expensive. I'll completely admit it we probably paid $20 too much for it however with the iPod it's tough because the iPod itself was actually a good deal but the issue is is that the battery is still functioning but it's really low.

So, if we don't mind spending a few bucks and replacing the battery this is actually a really solid deal. Without it it's a little bit tough to go for. But that my friends is a look at some of the items we got from pawn shops. Let us know in the comments below if you wanna see another video like this. Definitely be sure to subscribe to see more tech hijinks and shenanigans.

And until next time Ken is gonna switch over to the iMac and I'll be playing Gran Turismo 2. (placid music)

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey guys, this is Austin.I just spent a lot of moneyon tech from a pawn shop,so we're talking MacBook,Xbox, Switch, PlayStation,you name it, to find outshould you buy your techat a pawn shop or not.- Who asked you this question?- No one asked me this question,but it needs to be answered regardless.Okay, that's a lot.So, we went maybe a littleoverboard, but you know.So, the grand totalfor everything we purchased here was $830.Next, we have one of my favorite items,which is a 2011 MacBook, I believe.And we actually did a video on a MacBookvery similar to this recently,and it's actually really straight forwardto upgrade one of these guysto be a completely usablesystem today here in 2020.So, first of all, I actuallywanna take this aparta little bit and make surethat it's in decent condition.This is a very sturdy case, wow, okay.What the fu, dude, come on, man?I got this, I got this, there we go, okay.(upbeat music)Yeah, okay, that's not great.Well, actually, you know what,no, no, no, this is fine.It's a little bit scratchedbut it's mostly just dirty.This is literally justwiping off with my finger.The shift key actually has,it looks like it's been melted or warped.There's a little dent in it.All right, what do we have here?Oh, that looks very boring, okay.That looks like a, whatthe, this is just dust, ugh!- Plaster.- Plaster, yeah.Oh, look, there's also a littlebit of stickiness over here.I wonder if someone at some pointspilled a drink on their laptop.Ah, man, I miss Magsafe,just that satisfyingmetallic magnet, clonk.So, it is the i7 model, soit actually is an upgrade.So, that's like second gen Sandy Bridge,four gigs of ram, HD 3000 graphics,as well as we have the display.We have that 250 gighard drive showing up,as well as we have the four gigs of ram.- We got it.- Yeah, see, 1080p video works no problem.However, I think we mayhave paid slightly too muchfor this guy.So, it's only just a little bit lessthan that 2012 MacBook that I bought,and the main difference isthat was just new enoughto be still supported underMac OS, very easy to upgrade.This guy is just one year behind,which means that, well, wereally can't do that much to itas far as on the software side.This one I'm gonna give like a eh,it's about the right price,but I feel like we couldhave got this on eBayfor pretty much the exact same amount.Next up we have our $40 PlayStation One.Now, what really drew us to this onewas pretty much entirely the condition.Most of the time, youlook at these things,they start to yellow,they start to get a little bit beat up,but this is in prettymuch perfect condition.It also helps that Ihad to use one of thesefor the build off, and maybecaused some problems with it.So, regardless, I needanother PlayStation.So, let's toss a copy of Gran Turismo inand see if this thing actually works.I really hope it does.(PlayStation boot chime)Mmm.Oh.(PlayStation chime intensifies)Wooh, oof, oof, it gives me chills, man.(upbeat music)I played so much GranTurismo, not even funny.(upbeat music)Oh no, no!No, no!Get in there.I'm not, no, no, youdon't, no, you don't.I am not losing this race.I need fifth at least.All right, I got him here.They always go really wide here.There we go, there we go, there we go,there we go, there we go.Cheating.Yeah, come on, a little bit.Yes, go, go, go!How am I out dragging a Mustang?Whatever, oh, I've got the Evo, too.I got the Evo, I got the Evo, yes!Yes, yes, look, Gran Turismo2 is the game I grew up with.Does it matter I didn't actually win?That's totally fine.All right, so, we'llcontinue with the video.Let's take a look at the Switch next.One thing I can really say aboutthe exterior of the Switch,it a little bit sort of beat up here.You know you have that sweat on your handsand it kind of eatsthrough plastic sometimes?It's a little bit smooth 'cause you can seesomeone definitely kind of,it's not beaten up or anything,but it's a little bit sort of weathered.If I only had enoughcharge to actually turn on.We'll be right back.(clock ticking)So, while we wait forthe Switch to charge,let's take a look at our 29.95 Apple TV.A lot of people are sellingit for between 30 and $40.So, this is actually aperfectly reasonable price.That actually looks pretty,oh, hey, look at that.And it works, let's get this on, oh.- Anyways, there's a lotof special spiritual connectionsbetween the Dreamcastand the original Xbox.I feel like a lot of the folksat Sega to bringon that content also to Xbox,and we were learning a lot from them.- How very strange, very strange.- Oh, no, no, no, it's not strange.Did it just attach to the AirPlay?(upbeat music)- Oh, what, Ken?Ken, I've forgotten that was a thing!This is the same remotethey use on the Apple TVthat works on the MacBook, dude!I'm curious, so we have a lot of appssuch as Prime Video and Netflix,and oh, actually, YouTube.- iPad is better than a console at gaming.- No problem, okay, 30 bucks, I'mgonna give that a thumbs up.(upbeat music)It works.Now, let's take a look at our Switch,which seems to be charged up enough.Okay, well, this is alsologged into someone's account.What is this, Jaden?Oh, no, sorry Jaden.Okay, it's a littlesticky, but you know what?That's not the worstthing I've ever tried.Yeah, no, this is fine.I think, realistically,you could probably cleanthat out a little bitand it would be just fine.Clearly, it's not evenlike the Joycon drift.It's just literally like someonegot this thing dirty at one point,didn't really clean it out.So, for context, if I wantedto buy a full Switch setupwith a working Joycon as well as a dock,it would cost about $250.Now, if I wanna justget the dock by itself,we're looking at about $35.Now, you can get thirdparty docks for cheaper,but even with that dock,we're looking at, what,just a little bit over $200for a fully working Switch and a dock.And, realistically, ifyou don't wanna use thisas a docked console,if you just wanna use it as a Switch Lite,you're getting somethingwhich is actually cheaperand has more capability.It's a little bit of a gamble.The stick is a littlebit on the sticky side,but I actually think this isthe best deal we've gotten.That's actually pretty solid.So, next, let's take alook at the Xbox One.Now, at $100, I'm pretty confidentthat that's a betterdeal than you would get,mostly, for an Xbox.So, we bought an Xbox One just like thisat GameStop for $160.So, besides being a little bit scuffed up,which to be fair, most ofthese original Xbox Ones arejust because they have somuch glossy plastic on them,it seems to be in pretty good shape.The good thing is is that the disc drivedoes definitely work.I was able to installthe disc, no problem.The controller is actuallyin pretty good shape.Dude, I feel pretty confident in sayingthat this Xbox is a good deal.It seems to work, no problem,and as far as everythingwe've taken a look at so far,thumbs up.Next up, we have the iMac,which again, we got for justa little bit under $100.Now, actually, since you were the onewho used to use this iMac,do you want to take the lead on this one?- Sure, so as a surprise to no one,I was actually a bit of aspoiled child growing up.- No.- But I grew, thank you.Yeah, this is giving me some flashbacks.I actually started mychannel with this computerabout I think it was two weeksbefore, wooh, that sound.I think I started my channellike two weeks before you did.- Wow, show off.- Well, I mean, one of us made it,and the other one's workingfor the other one now, so.- Oh, yeah,that worked out for me.- Who is showing off now?(laughter)So, this guy is rocking atwo gigahertz Core 2 Duo,two gigs of ram, as well as128 megabyte Radeon 2400 XT.Now, the main thing hereupon looking at eBayis that we didn't save money.We actually lost a little bit.Not exactly a terrible dealconsidering the condition,and a lot of the sets thatyou see on here for this pricealso don't

someone'smusic's on here already.- Oh.- Oh, it's Michael'siPod, that's his name.- Michael.- That was ourprevious owner's name.Okay, so music, gonnahave to power, oh, okay.- Oh, no.- Okay, so the batterymight be shot.Oh, it just shut off.- Oh, no.- That was enough to brick itand put it in recovery mode.- Oh, no.- So, we cannot listento Michael's music anymore.- (laughs) Oh, no.- You can get
