N64 Dirty, Cracked & Rattling, But Working
I bought a refurbished N64 console about a year ago from DKOldies. It was off-color, and had a crack on the controller port, plus there was a rattling sound coming from the inside. They also had the original jumper removed and replaced with a 3rd party jumper. It worked, but it was ugly. Their website uses stock photos, so you never know what you're actually getting. Anyways, over the past month I've seen YouTubers opening consoles they bought from DKOldies, exposing dirty interiors, so I decided to open mine and to no surprise I found it caked with dust and some grime. I keep a clean, smoke-free house, so I know this isn't from my limited time playing it. Also, the piece rattling around was a popcorn kernel. Clearly, they didn't refurbish it like they claim to have. I'm taking the time to write this because it seems there is ample evidence that DKOldies has a habit of offering a service they don't follow through with and I don't want other people to be had. Its even more frustrating that they can't own up to their mistakes and make the attempt to regain the trust of their customers. Instead, they only claim that a handful of consoles have slipped through the cracks in the QA department, but the evidence supports otherwise. I can forgive people who are apologetic, but they're not, so I will certainly not be buying anything more from them and I highly suggest other people stay away as well.
