I Bought 29 Nintendo Consoles from Goodwill...

Ok so it's actually 30 consoles 😂 I didn't realize there was a white DS lite until part way through the video. 29 sounds more interesting... anyways, I bought 29/30 "broken" Nintendo consoles from Goodwill. And I actually got a pretty solid deal. It was a bit less than $300 for the whole lot, which comes out to ~$10 per console. I can easily make my money back if I get some of these consoles working. We've got a little bit of everything here... 5 Wiis, 6 GBA SPs, 6 DS Lites, 1 DSi, 1 GBC, 1 GBA, 1 2DS XL, 4 DMG Gameboys, 2 Super Nintendos, and 3 GameCubes. Check out the video to see exactly what I got!

To clarify, I got this from the online goodwill auction website. It’s not in a box because I picked it up from the warehouse

[MyGodzilla]

Those SPs working alone made this a sweet deal.

[BrianFo]

The DSI has Zelda Four Swords Anniversary edition in it. That alone is a sweet find since you could only get it for a very short period of time which is long past now.

[livefreeprintguns]

I never babied my consoles but I always did take very good care of them. I never understood how people get their stuff so grimy.

[inexpgamer]

If I had to take a guess on the blue SP and why it was so sticky, it looks like it had one of those overlay stickers on it. You've probably seen them before, cheap stickers people use to wrap consoles with so they look "cool" like I know a friend that has a Wii but he bought some like Bakugon sticker set for it that fits the top and sides of the console. I'm guessing it had that and someone took it off, you can kinda tell by the way there's a perfect square where there's no residue around the speaker.

Nintendo consoles are so durable, it's incredible how the game boys and the SNES works fine after all the years of bad care

[Cool-Spot]

That Dsi has The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition on it from the looks of things. Pretty rare to have official since it was only available as a download like 10 years ago for a limited time.

I'm sure you're aware, or others have commented, but you can easily adjust/turn up the laser power on the Gamecubes slightly using a screw on the inside of the console, and that usually solves the disc reading issue! I had my childhood Gamecube which I thought to be broken for like 8 years, until one day I did just this, and it worked right after! I'm glad I held onto it, haha!

[Rdmn]

The fact you got 3 AGS-101s means you struck gold.

[Galvamel]

The blue GBA SP must have had one of those sticker skins on it.

[ohmwrecker]

When u said u never held a regular Gameboy in ur hands, I felt old lol. They were a key piece of life to us in the 90's!🕹

[nickbrick]

for the disc read errors you can try to adjust the resistance being sent to the Lazer. there is a small screw on the disc board that can be adjusted very minimally. using an Ohm meter. the result should be around 200to230 ohms I believe. check YouTube for others that have fixed this issue.

[CautionusJay]

A dmg gameboy not powering on could be as easy as cleaning a dirty power switch/replacing the power switch/or cleaning corroded battery terminals

[jtrinidad]

Thanks to this channel I gave Goodwill online a try. So far I have gotten a good wii and xbox 360 that just needed some tlc but both are now clean and working good.

[donaldstepp]

Now you got me wanting to get into this. Found my old sp gonna fix it up and get some games. Currently happy using my phone to emulate N64 games

[Ski-DooSafari]

Some tips for the GameBoys (Might help, might not)
For any if the GB, GBC or GBAs that won't turn on, cleaning the power switch is really all it takes. I reccomend replacing the volume and contrast wheels in the GBs as in my DMG the contrast wheel tends to flicker the contrast depending on where it is. Not a huge problem if you don't but it can help sometimes.
If you buy a shell repacement for the GBC you're gonna' want to make sure you can get a D-Pad riser, as most aftermarket D-Pads are typically the wrong height (I learned that the hard way lol). I believe RetroModding has good replacement parts.

[kingdomofashes]

The fact that that dsi works and has Flipnote on it (extremely rare app on it) thats a great steal! Fantastic pickup on everything all in all!

[generalradarv]

Awesome video man! These videos are so entertaining, make sure to keep up the good work!

That person had a couple 'sticker skins' on that thing. That gunk is residue from them removing the stickers, but not fully cleaning off the adhesive. They probably just chucked it in a bin with the other 'cleaned' units after removing them, leading to the adhesive sucking up and grabbing a bunch of dust and stuff as it was left there.

That was a really good video and I hope to see more.
My favourite consoles were the DSi, DS and the 2DS xl....
