I bought EVERY GameStop Console...

I decided to buy every type of console GameStop sells online and then try to resell them back. What I discovered about the condition and value of these "refurbished" consoles was pretty alarming. From missing serial numbers to non-functioning parts, this video exposes some major issues with GameStop's practices.

25:01 Selling Back to GameStop

[stranger]

Can't believe Austin donated a bunch of money to GameStop

[alexw]

the fact gamestop is still in business is beyond me

former gamestop employee here, the refurbishment center is the bane of the companies existence. Ive sent back so many consoles that they say they refurbished but look like it was just tested and thrown back into a box. Also never and i mean NEVER get the refurbished controllers, its like they actively try to give them all stick drift and say "it happened during shipping"

[thumbsarehandy.]

I'm more astonished that anyone would sell their console to GameStop for these prices, than I am that anyone would buy a console from them.

GAMESTOP ALWAYS Scamming the customers be like 😬😬😬😬

When he started taking that nasty PS5 apart, I was sure he was going to find cockroaches inside. Oh well.

[Hippo]

Austin is single handedly keeping gamestop afloat

[johnpark]

You'll get more donating to goodwill and write it off in taxes 😅

I can tell you as a former gamestop employee (SGA) we don't get paid enough to care. 20 cents more than minimum wage as a keyholder is not enough. I often would tell people to go across the street to the retro game store as they would likely give you more than our pitiful options (someone came in with pokemon pearl in box and gamestop wanted to give $20 for it) this was, like, 2 years ago.

I know damn well there will be a part 2 since GameStop is now selling retro video games. But only time will tell.

The crazy part is 5 years ago I found your channel because of the buying ever console from GameStop and I haven’t missed a video since this was a great throwback to an old video

[josephpeters]

GameStop is really circling the drain. I thought it was bad a decade ago but this is really embarrassing.

[A-Negative]

I hope the powerful female CEO Ryan Cohen sees this video. Please do better. Clean your shit, packaging has improved lately, but this is low end. Put someone in charge because some slight improvements in reliable refurb would go a long way.

[BrianWood]

Our local GameStop just closed it's doors.... Can't imagine they have many years left, as far as actual stores.

[devski]

Here is an idea for a video: buy the same consoles from eBay then sell to GameStop to see if you can turn a profit

[dbez]

I’m surprised the FTC hasn’t investigated GameStop yet for fraudulent business practices

[El_Tony_C]

17:50 Of course, Ken has a LA Dodgers x hololive shirt😂

[Decrypt-Kryptonian]

26:37 😂😂😂 IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT HE KNEW HE .... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Austin Face

[BwareOfKoko]

As a former employee, the trade in value is scummy taking stolen systems is the norm

[reverseshin]

Even though I don’t work at GameStop and I don’t have any plans too, I Would have at least WRAPPED the Consoles in Protective Packaging and Made sure they were actually protected in the boxes.
