While dirty and scratched, functional. How much do we pay for this PS5 from GameStop? - $370. And keep in mind that is with our Pro discount. Yep. The worst part is, if you bought this now, right now it is $408 for the Pro from GameStop right now. Wait. Since last week they have raised the price above MSRP? Sell your stocks, sell your bonds. If you wanna get a PS5 Slim. The MSRP is 450, and I will say that pretty regularly, they're on sale for $400, which means that technically we saved $30 by getting an older console with a used controller, tons of scuffs on it.

Based on our last video, GameStop pays fairly okay-ish for the latest generation consoles. But if it's anything that they don't really care about, they give you nothing, 'cause they don't want them. So I'm gonna say 250 for our PS5. I think it's time to live in the mood a little bit. This is, I will say not going well, but you know what always goes well? Who wants Pokémon cards? That's a spooky Dusknoir sticker, Joanna. If you want a spooky sticker.

Sure. You can be a little spooky if you want. Ooh, look at that promo card. Xerosic's Machinations. I don't know what the hell that means. It's probably not going to be a big surprise to you that I am a big fan of Pokémon cards, which is actually why I have some news. I'm now officially an investor in Rare Candy.

This is a TCG Marketplace co-founded by my good buddy Leonhart. And the idea is not only can you buy all kinds of cool high-end cards, vintage packs as well as new stuff, but on top of that, I've been helping to beta test a card scanner. So all you need to do is scan the cards you've got, you can add it to your collection, you can share with everyone. You can see I've got my own collection that's already loaded up in the app.

It's really cool, you can share it with friends. So if you're a fan of Pokémon cards like me, definitely be sure to go check out the Rare Candy app at the link in the description. Now, it is only available for the app right now on iOS. It will be coming to Android soon. But the card scanner does work in the browser as well.

I'm incredibly, incredibly excited to work with the Rare Candy team and build something that has been a passion of mine into something which hopefully can help you expand your collection. Well, at least collections is the word I like to use. They didn't give us the right console, what? I don't know why I'm surprised.

Oh, I'm dumb. I thought this is a different Xbox. So I read Xbox One S on the box, like I didn't order an Xbox One S. They put a Series S in here, which is fair enough, but also look at the box. Why does anyone think this is acceptable? This is not even an Xbox Series S controller. This is an original Xbox One controller.

It's micro USB. It's got a blue door instead of the freaking black door that came with. Yes, this will work, but I'll tell you what it doesn't do. Is that USB-C or USB-C cable, and it also doesn't have some of the extra little goodies that the Xbox Series S controller has. Like you're missing a whole button.

Just look at the stupid Xbox. It is a white console, so a little less obviously scuffed, but I can still see all kinds of like swirly scuff marks, and like the black part of the fan grills all scratched. Dude, look, I literally am like wiping dust and dirt off with my finger. Ugh, you couldn't take a wipe to it? You couldn't blow it with a little bit of compressed air?

You couldn't give me the controller that is supposed to come with a Series S? (Austin coughs) It's all that dust from the PS5. I didn't think it was that dusty, but after we went at the PS5 and this, it's actually like getting me. Besides the cosmetic issues, the console itself is fine, but the fact that this is the way they shipped it and they gave me the Xbox One controller instead of Series S controller, not cool.

So we've run into issues during the setup. So first of all, this controller is very worn, so the D-pad double clicks a lot. You see if I go right, half the time it does a little double tap. I can't get this online. I've tried Ethernet, I've tried Wifi networks, I've tried 2.4, 5. It just constantly says...

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- This is every singleconsole that GameStop sells.So back in 2018 we didthis exact same thing.We bought a bunch of consoles,and they were sure are dirty, broken.And when we tried to sell them backto GameStop they wouldn'teven take some of them.So five years later hasGameStop actually improved?The packaging as alwayswith GameStop is leavesomething to be desired.I can literally see insidefor all my consoles.So the way that I didthis is I tried to buy oneof every type of console.And once we see what kindof condition they're all in,I'm going to sell them back to GameStopand see what kind of trade-invalue I'm able to get.GameStop actually have fewer typesof consoles than they did last time.Like I remember last time Iwas able to get like a Wiiand a Wii U and PS3 and 360,and none of those are around.(upbeat music)We have a 3DS in a box?For context, they alwayscome in the very distinctiveGameStop-looking boxes.I have never bought aconsole from GameStopthat came in the original box.They put a couple stickerson clearly pre-owned,yada yada yada.From this side, thislooks like the originalGameStop sticker whenthe person purchased thisback in like 2011.And it's gonna go back to GameStop again.Got the original paperwork,Nintendo Power, rest in peace.- Oh, man, no 10year old's gonna read that.- I did.There's a lot of stuff in here.- You were not 10 when that came out.- I was 10 give or take.- Decade.- Decade or so.How do you know fellow kids?- Oh, okay.- Wait, wait, what?That's not right.This one's got blue stylus, what?It is literally red,slightly darker red, blackand then silver?- That is just what it looks like.- So it looks like someone liketook like something abrasiveand like scratched the hell of it.And then we've also got somegrime on the touchscreen.Someone looked that andgo, yeah, it still works.Oh, look at the Circle Pad.Not only is it yellowed,it's got a bunch of likedeep scratches on it.That screen looks like a little burned in.I think this is about the levelof quality I expect fromGameStop, to be honest.So I've gone through the setup process.Everything seems to be fine.I'm gonna launch my copy of Hey! Pikminthat I need to system update for.So initial thoughts on the 3DS? It's fine.I will say it's a little worsefor wear certainly when it comesto like the scuffs on the screen, the top,there's like a littlebit of like yellowing,which is fairly standard for these things.I have low expectationsif I'm honest with you.GameStop really don'tmake a lot of promisesthat they do refurbishmentand all that kinda stuff.Can you refresh me on howmuch I paid for my 3DS?- $180.- Yikes.When it launched, it was 250 bucks,but I think almost immediatelywent down to like $170.So the fact that the 3DS has appreciatedover the last decade is very interesting.- If you shopped atlike a retro website like DKOldies.- Classic.- They will charge you $230for the same system.- For a fat 3DS?- If you checkeda website like eBay,which has many, many, many sellers.- Yes.- You get a comparablelike conditioned oneto that one for around 80-90.- Are y'all okay?Even with the box there's noway it's worth that much more.Here's my guess, we paid 180 for this,they're gonna give me 40 bucks.Y'all need to chill a little bit, I think.Who needs to make profit when peoplekeep buying the stocks?He has to do some Super Smash.They didn't even gimme my SD card.Oh.It's kinda crazy this isbasically the same priceas the later models,but I mean, it seems to work just fine.You know all that goodstuff I said about GameStopand having an original box?(glass shattering)Shouldn't have done that.Oh, no.There's just the standwhich is just dangling here.The controller itself,which is dirty and whatever.Look how scuffed this is.I bet you this was not asscuffed as it is right nowbefore it was put in this box.- Well, they put rubber bandson them so...- That's the best thing they did.They put rubber bands on the cablesand took the PS5 went...1015B, so this would'vebeen the very firstedition of the PS5.I don't know who needsto learn how to use USB,but this looks like ifyou go to like a housethat's maybe been around for a little bitand you look near thekeyhole, that's pretty muchwhat happened to these USB ports.There's so many scratchesaround the HDMI port.Also opened a few timesand look at the fan.Oh, gross, look at that fan.- Look how dirty this is.- Yes, this is white, thisis dirt, look at this.There's literally like dents and scratches.There's dust bunnies everywhere.- I wonder if it'sjust from like a personwho stuck it in theirlike little console cubby,and then it would overheat like crazyso they would just have to frequentlytake the panels off or something.- Maybe, yeah.Oh, it was pretty bad though.Between the shipping, justbetween the like dirt,the general just scuffsand scratches everywhere.I mean, this is kind of gross.I mean, I guess we'll see if it worksbecause that's the most important thing.But like...(Austin sighs)So with our very dirty PS5 set up,I will say it is functioning fine.We were able to get it up to date,install Astro's Playroom,the controller's paired,even though the fans aredusty, it's not massively loud.I will say controller, whileit feels a little grossand that's a suspicious white stain on it,other than that, it feels fine.It is a controller,so I think with the DualSense,I always findthat they get kinda like soft.You're trapped here forever.Well, that one looks clean.Where are all the scuffs?Where are all my scratchesand the dust bunnies?While dirty and scratched, functional.How much do we pay forthis PS5 from GameStop?- $370.And keep in mind that iswith our Pro discount.- Yep.- The worst part is,if you bought this now, rightnow it is $408 for the Pro.from GameStop right now.- Wait.Since last week they

see if I go right, half the timeit does a little double tap.I can't get this online.I've tried Ethernet,I've tried Wifi networks,I've tried 2.4, 5.It just constantly says, "Cannot connect."Because it's an Xbox,it's completely useless untilyou do the initial setup.Now, I will say that the Xbox doesseem to be fully functional.We're logged in now that itis downloaded everything.I will say I still thinkthere's some weird Wifi issueswith this, because likein the exact same spotas our PS5, it was getting like a thirdto a quarter of the speed.Anyway, we're logged in,let's go ahead and play some Minecraft.The LED on the actual Xbox logo,it looks like it'sburning out, do you see?It's like almost like pulsing,it's like kind of dim.You know, we just gottatest the performanceof our Series S justto make sure, you know,that it actually is gonna work.Yeah, look at the powerof our Xbox Series S blowing stuff up.While I am not happy atall with the condition,the potential Wifi issues,the pretty scuffed controller,but what will surely redeemit is the great deal we goton this Xbox Series S.Alex, how much did we pay?It was so cheap, right?Such a bargain.- Paid $260with the Pro discount.(crickets chirping)- Oh, yeah, that's not good.And I will say that wehave found Series S'seither fully refurbishedbut like in the original boxesand all this kinda stufffor like the low $200 range.And I bet if you're going on like eBay,you could probably find a Series S forbelow 200 bucks, right?We saved $40, I guess?But I'm gonna guess on the Series Sthey will give us $175.All right, what is next?Well, I think it's a PlayStation.Oh, I only hear a little bit of rattling.It's almost like asmaller box for a consolethat's designed for.Oh, it smells like dust.I believe this is the firstitem that we've got toso far today that has been refurbished.Great value, 30-dayreturn policy and quote,"Extended warranty options."My thought is that this iswhere GameStop is gonna startmaking a little bit more sense.This is not a totally normal PS4,'cause it is a matte console.So the very original PS4swere two-tone design.So it was matte on the bottomand gloss in the top, whichlooked very, very scuffed.This is matte all the way around.Ear wax, I don't know.So you can see that all ofthe little screws are showing.So they've clearly, and you can seethat they're all torn up too.So, yeah, whatever refurbishing they did,they definitely opened up this console.August, 2013.Oh.- I think thematte ones were like 2015.- But then how's it got a 2013?I mean, maybe it was an old hard drive.I mean, it's really hard totell without the like stickerthat tells me the model numberand serial number andeverything like that.Besides these scratches on the front,which are maybe gonna come off,it's actually like inokay condition though.What is this controller?You ever seen that before?I've never seen a blackcolorway with purple buttons.And actually you know what?Out of all the consolesthat we looked at, this isthe only one that actuallycame with the USB cable.I don't think any of the otherones actually came with a wayfor you to connect or chargethe controller out the box,which is kind of important.So in the micro USB, it's probably notthat common in your house anymore.If it works, I'd be fine.Make sure the disc driveand everything is okay.But yeah, a little bit of a weird choice.Okay, let's evaluatehow well our PS4 works.Lemme just turn the controller real quick,and then you know we're gonnago and hop into the game.Oh, look, it's deadbecause the battery onthe controller's dead.This is charging for almost two hoursand cannot hold any chargeliterally whatsoever.Great start.I feel it is a little hard,because I don't know which model this is.I'm pretty sure this is like the very lastof the original PS4s.This could be a Franken PS4.They could have taken ashell from another PS4that looks a little bitbetter and put it on somethingthat was like thrashed or whatever.You can do motion sensing forGran Turismo controls?Ew.Now that we're getting into a game,the fan is going into jet engine mode.I'm actually so used to theDualSense playing this game.It feels very strange togo back to the DualShock.It feels like, like there'sno sensation if anything.Oh, wow, okay.Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, here's the thing.PS4 works.I have concerns clearly.Thermal paste is dried, something.This thing is likeincredibly loud and it's in open air.The other concern I have isthat our weird purplecontroller, the battery is dead.So I wonder if they'llcatch that when theyget this as a trade-in.But the fact that they tookit apart in my opinion,and it still sounds as loud as it does,means that I don't thinkthat they actually didanything that was more meaningful.I think they just likefreaking swapped the shelland like called it a day or something.How much do we payfor our certifiedrefurbished PlayStation 4?- $140.- Wait, 140?- Yes, 140.- I thought I paid 104.- If you searchfor used one on eBay,you can find like a PS4Pro used for like 150-160s.- GameStop will give me$35 for this console.Just like the other box,really, really well padded.They couldn't even tape the box.Well, actually it's onlyrattling somewhat, not a lot.I can't wait for them togimme like $5 for our console.We don't accept trade-insthat are so low quality.This should be our Xbox One,because it says Xbox One on it.Oh my god, are that-Packaging?There's like a spot for thecontroller and a power supplyand the cables and a single, very,very dirty GameStop battery?(clapping)So this is a white Xbox One controller.It actually does have the 3.5,so the box lied but that's an upgradebecause the original Xbox One controllerdid not have the headphone jack.Is this a custom controller?'Cause it's got the gray on the frontand it's got the black buttons.So this is a third party GameStop brandedXbox One Power Supply.HDMI, again, our single very dirty.Oh, thank you.Double dirty batteries,which looked like theyhad been sneezed on.Oh my god.- Whoa.- The prophecy was true.I'm just gonna just set thisright here, very gently.Very important.This is an original VCR Xbox One.It feels like they almost didit right, except for the factthat they left like this part is black.They have opened it upbecause they have takenoff the original sealand they put a little500 gig sticker on it.I will actually say out ofall the consoles we've got,this is one of the better sort of shape.The only thing that's reallyslightly weird about it isthe third party power adapter.Honestly, I don't even care.So assuming this actually works. Eh?Is there a fan in this power supply?Well, okay, so for context, Xbox,power supply.I will say the disc drivedoes seem to be working.So Forza, at least the disc launches.It needs to what?Installing what?I was gonna say let's play Forza 5.We just spent the last 30minutes installing it from disc,but now it needs a long time.That was only three hours now.Everyone good to staya few hours after work?- No.- Welcome back my friends.Look at our Xbox, fullydownloaded, updated, installed,and look at our B box.Anything jump out to you about thisas a Xbox One power supply?Sounds like our HVAC unit.- Yeah.- Right?- Split screen?The little brother mode.- Little brother mode, let's go.Oh my god, I need anupdate for my controller.- One moment please.This was glossy plastic at some pointand they need to just marred it.- I'm not 100%- What was that?So, oh my god, dude.Oh, you can see it.You can see the whole thing shifting.You see that? What the hell?- They definitely brokea plastic clip in there.- Yes.- And that's whyit's shifting.- Dude, there's no grip on this, what the?The start button on thecontrol we got from GameStop.It takes like a full likehalf second pop that guy.- Yeah, someone spilled Coke on it.- 50 PSI of boost, let's go!(Austin yells)How much do we pay for our Xbox One white?- A hundred dollars.- That does not feel terrible.- That is by far thecheapest thing we got.- It's not-We paid $170 for a 3DS.- Oh, okay, in the scheme of probablyeverything that you bought, yeah.- I think we actually gotan okay deal though, right?Like how much is an Xbox One on eBay?- 60-70 to 150.So it's kind of in that-- We're in the ballpark.We're in the strike zone.I'm gonna guess that when we sell this backto GameStop we are going to get $40.- All right, that's optimistic.- So let's see whatthe hell happened here.Well, padded.This is just not, that's just not okay.This is never okay.But it's less terriblewhen it's a console.Like, if I got a scratch on the console,it's kind of annoying.If I got a scratch on my screen,I'm a little bit grumpier.The screen is largely okay-ish.Kickstand still works.We've got one very dirty Joy-Con.We have Joy-Con number two.That stick is absolutely melted.All right, we've got ourselvesthe little Joy-Con grip.We do have a dock, which is a little scuffedbut actually not too bad.Our little stupid Joy-Con attachment guys,which no one's ever used ever.And we do have a first partyNintendo power adapter.This actually, likeliterally like dirt in there.If I'm looking at the back of the Switch,yeah it does have some scratches on it.Let me plug it in, get it charging,you can see how we did withour used Nintendo Switch.It's actually got a charge?I'm so used to whenyou have a dead Switch,it takes like an extra 20 minutesto charge up enough to turn on.We're also already logged in.We're one.As much as it's a littlescuffed on the outsideand the Joy-Con, certainly the left onehas seeing better days,I guess I've seen worse.How much worse could it get, right?- Oh, you knowbetter than to ask that.- So with our Switch fully up to dateand our copy of SuperMario Wonder installed,let's give it a try.The Joy-Cons, I wanna make sure,that's my biggest question.It's clearly working, like I've been ableto like navigate the menu and stuff.But the Joy-Cons definitely,like these grips,the rubber has definitely been very worn.Hey.Oh no, it's Bowser, damn it, not again.Stop stealing my girlfriend,Bowser, get your own.I will say, this looksreal nice on an OLED.If only there was a Switch 2that exists sometime between now and 2037.- Wowy zowy.- Wowy, zowy, seems all right.Now, keep in mind this isthe original launch Switch.So it's not the RedBox, so the battery lifeis going to be a downside.This is using the olderless efficient processor,but it does come with all the accessories.Everything is in fairlygood working condition.These Joy-Cons, as far as I can tell,do not have any kind of drift.A question, how much did Ipay for the Nintendo Switchfrom GameStop?- With the discount.- With my Pro discount from a Pro member?- $230.- So for a 7-year-old console,it's actually seven years old.Was $300 seven years agoand after inflation, thatwould be a lot of money.I think more than a brandnew Nintendo Switch Lite,which as we all know is thesuperior version of the Switch.- Well...What do original launch Switcheswith all the accessories go for on eBay?- Probably somewherein the 130 to 150 range.- They're going to give me $85 for this.- I bet you'rebanking on the Nintendostuff keeping its value.- You think it's goingto be less than $85?I'm not ready for this.Now, this should be our Steam Deck,and I can tell you with some confidencethat this is my likely best itembecause we have purchased oneof their refurbishedSteam Decks in the past,and it was actuallyproperly clean, well priced,the whole thing, all the paddingfrom the other boxesthey put into this one.Amazing.So this is the base Steam Deck.So 64 gigs original model, oh my goodness.Are we just living the luxurious life?I got a little smokeybut, you know, not likeashtray smokey like, you know, in the carwith someone with smokingfor five minutes smokey.I'll be honest with you,it looks pretty minty.Maybe the only thingyou should actually buyfrom GameStop is a Steam Deck.Hmm.- If it'd smelled likea PS5 we'd have to return it.- So I've set up the SteamDeck, I've got it all logged in.Mr. Bolido, would you care to join meand evaluate this particular Steam Deck?- Sure.(Austin laughing)- The touchscreen iscompletely inoperable.- Yeah, no, it just does not work.- And I will say that thescreen looks fine, right?Like visually it's notscratched up, not broken.Like obviously I wonderif they're gonna catch itwhen we try to sell itback to them and they go,"Oh, we don't accept SteamDecks that are broken."And I'll be like, "UNO reverse card."That's the original screen.So how much did we payfor our Steam Deck minus touchscreen?- $250.- $250 is a actuallylegitimately great dealif you get this SteamDeck that's in good shape.I'm sure they would swap it out likethat's well within the reasoningfor you to swap it out.I don't think they're gonna take it back,if there's some weird Reddit rabbit holeof like press ABXY, jump on one foot.- It's not ABXY.- Okay.- You put it into BIOS mode.- We're not gonna fix it for them.Look, by that same token we could alsolike swap the screen out.Like, I want to sell it back to GameStopexactly in the conditionsthat I got it in.- I literally typed in-- Okay, fine.- I really typed in Reddit.We're gonna give more thanthe benefit of the doubtto GameStop for shipping me a consolewith an inoperable touchscreen.Okay, we're powering down.- Okay, so hold down volume upand press the power button.Go to setup utility, thenchoose battery storage mode.Enter and confirm.Oh, this person said it didn'twork because they had it-- Why? Why would you-- No, no, no.So this person said thatit didn't work for thembecause they had it pluggedin when they did all this,but then they did it with the thingunplugged and then it worked, so...- Sure.- We'll try it first.- We'll try it again, we'll try it again.This, I will say Ifigured we're gonna haveto do something a lot more annoying.This is actually not that hard to repair.- Yeah.- Still, not acceptable.(Austin laughing)- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.We're good. We're good.We're good. We're good.We're good, we're good,we're good, we're good.This is not a GameStop issue,this is a weird obscureSteam Deck power BIOS thing.We have a different problem now.It said 20% battery andyet was not chargingas soon as I unplugged it.So just so do I need to exit that mode.- So just exit that mode now.- Well, this ain't it.It said 20% battery,and when I unplugged thecable immediately died.I dunno what's actuallygoing on right now.It's definitely not doing a normal boot.- Austin, patience is avirtue, just let it...It's been booting for five minutes,you're trying to tell methat's another thing it's been-- Dude stop that, no, no, no.- And we unplug it, ready?- Yeah.- There you go. Now it's okay.- Yeah, it works now.- For now.- So Austin and I are on our wayto two different GameStopsin order to sell the consolesthat he had originally bought online.Are we going to get a bitmore money than we did before?Or are they gonna scam usand give us basically breadcrumbsfor all the stuff we bought?- So last time that we did this,it was a bit of a disaster.Now mind you, that was five years ago.But they didn't takeback, I think it was oneor two of the consoles thatwe had bought from them.I feel like they gaveus like less than like$10 for like our Wii or whatever.Like it was incredibly low.Obviously we're notgetting our money back.I mean, they've gotta make profit.The difference is, are wegonna be getting like 50%of the value or like 10% of the value?The best we could do is about $35.And we were successful.Well, successful asterisk.Ken, why don't you tellus your story first?- We put all the consolesin just the big box.Apparently GameStop didn'tship us the USB cablesfor either the controllersfor the Xbox One or the PS5.And so I had to effectivelywith my trade-in moneybuy two extra USB cables.- How much did theycharge you for USB cables?- Micro USB was cheaper.- Okay.- It was $10.The USB-C cable was $13.Okay, so let's start with the PS5 digital.- So we paid $370 for our PS5 digital.My guess was $250 of cash,what did you get for it?- Okay, so for cash we got $126.To be fair to GameStop-- 126?- If you are within their systemand just do store credit,the cash alone was minus $54.Xbox One original. What do you think?- So we paid about ahundred dollars for that.My guess was 40.- $17 and 50 cents.- It was atthis moment he knew he fu-- You trade in a perfectlyworking Xbox One.- Yeah.- They said okay it's $17.Oh, you're missing USB cable? Here's $7.You're trying to tell me theGameStop value a USB cablealmost more than the Xbox itself?- Yeah.Okay, so the next one is the Steam Deck.So we paid $250 for the Steam Deckthat we unboxed four hours ago.How much did they give youcash for the Steam Deck?- $85 and 40 cents.And if we did store credit,we would add an extra $36and 60 cents on top of that.So we would've been overa hundred and something.- How much money did you gettotal for those consoles?- $204 and 14 cents.(melancholic music)- So I went to a differentGameStop than Ken initially,and they actuallycouldn't take my consolesbecause they had that littlelike thumbprint scanner.So basically when you sella console to GameStop,they take your ID, theyscan your fingerprint,just in case it's like a stolen product,which is totally fair,but it wasn't working.But they were very niceand they gave me the values assumingeverything checked out of all my consoles.Right? So I have that, wentto a different GameStop.So let's start out with the Switch.So we paid $230 for the Nintendo Switch.How much do you think I got?- 90 bucks.- $65 and 45 cents.Next up we did the 3DS.- Okay.- The 3DS was $170 Ibelieve, right? Or 180.- That's a lot of money for a 3DS.- It is.- Whoa.- How much do you think we got for the 3DSafter spending $180 for it?- $30.- $77 of cash.- I'm actually kind of impressed.So the trade-ins was significantly higher,and because I'm a GameStopPro member, there's a couponwhere I could have gotten$30 extra per console.Now you might have noticed, right?So I've got my money here, my $142,that there are a couple consolesmissing from this receipt.Now, if you remember in theunboxing I pointed out the factthat it didn't have like a serial number,so it couldn't figure out likewhat year it was and everything like that.Guess what? They don't accept consoleswithout serial numbers due to the factthat they could be stolen.This is exactly the wayI got it from GameStop.And same thing for the Xbox Series S.I think what they did when theycleaned this console is theyused something that was like very abrasiveor like, you know, Cloroxor something like that toactually like clean it off.That's my charitable way of putting that.There could be more to nefariousthing where they actually,this was potentiallysourced inappropriately.- If I had to take a guess,GameStop in their refurbishingwarehouse actually just havea bunch of working and broken consoles.And especially for theones that are broken,they're using those to scavenge for partsto put onto other consoles they could fix.- Counterpoint,it's borderline illegalto purchase electronic goodsthat have serial numbersthat have been removed.So the fact that there areno serial numbers on not one,but two different consolesis incredibly problematic.So we were able to get $346and 45 cents back for allof our consoles exceptfor our dubious Series S and PS4.How much did we payfor all these consoles?- $1,542 and 43 cents.- Power to the players, huh?Thank you very much for watching.Subscribe to the channelfor more in depth pain,suffering, and questionable decisions.And I'm gonna go find someoneto buy my stolen console.GameStop, it's time to stop.
