I decided to buy 2 more untested Xbox 360 consoles… (I bought 3 untested xbox 360 consoles from goodwill a while back). For this video, I bought 2 untested Xbox 360 ELITE consoles — 1 from eBay and 1 from Mercari. Buying untested consoles is sketchy, and this is my first time purchasing from Mercari, so check out the video to see how it went…

    1. Yo, really nice video. If you are deciding on getting rid of the foul Xbox. Could you try sending it my way? I could do something with it…

  1. On the note of that smoker X360 — if you have a dishwasher you could do a full teardown of the console and put all the parts into a dishwasher, throw some detergent in there and let ‘er rip. I’ve had computer mainboards that were in smoker environments come up a treat like that. no need to trash perfectly good hardware when you can definitely un-stinkify it.

  2. Message the seller to get your money back i hate scammers. I hope your content I hope you carry on unboxing console’s from different places I love this video and my brother and sister love’s your video’s too. Keep up the good work 👍

  3. if you’re gonna clean up the smoker xbox, maybe you can get rid of some of the smell by taking apart the case parts and soaking them in some isopropyl alcohol or something

    1. I’m not actually gonna throw it out, it’s just in my garage cuz I don’t wanna touch lol. I’ll put it to good use eventually (or get it to someone who will)

  4. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff sold on ebay as «untested» even though the seller knows damn well it doesn’t work because they have tested it. Not saying this person is scamming you, only because there’s no way to prove it. The whole untested thing is literally just a scapegoat for sellers to sell something broken knowing they can get a bit more money out of it that way instead of just listing it as for parts or repair.

    1. Oh yeah for sure. I think the ebay listing was legitimately untested. And for a console like the 360, there are a lot that are actually untested because the power brick is proprietary and not something people usually have laying around (unless you’re like me). A lot of people that sell consoles like this just get them in a big lot or other random places, and they aren’t a gamer and don’t have the right power supply. Now with newer consoles, that’s a little bit different because most of the new consoles just need a standard pc power cord

  5. I’ve had good luck using dryer sheets to help dissipate smokers smell. Open it up, give it a good cleaning, and the parts into a sealable bag with a bunch of dryer sheets. Afterwards, I’d leave the parts sitting outside for a day or two to air them out.

  6. How did you get screwed. You paid peanuts for the consoles, got your money back on one and a couple free discs and made a video that generated income.

    1. I got screwed from the fact that the one console was nasty lol. Made it better that I got my money back, but nothing will fix the fact that I had to put my hands on that console and smell it haha

  7. Most likely the disc reader needs cleaning and a bit of lubrication, in my experience that removes the weird noises, also you can at least take the disc tray cover thingy from the stinky console and put it in the working one.

  8. jacob r if you dont want the one with smokey smell…. ill take it off your hands…. my nose is used to smells like that. also great video. 🙂

  9. You Probably won’t see this but, I’ve been watching for a few months and I love these videos. So chill, relaxing, informative and Very good insight to the pre owned market. I saw a community post about you opening your own shop and I think that is great. Love from The UK 🇬🇧

  10. Hey! Depending on what you’ll sell it for, I’m willing to buy that 360 off of you! I’d also be willing to pay an extra $10 for you to include a controller!

  11. In answer to what you can do with the very smoky one, perhaps you could take the front of the CD tray and put it on the better one of the two to make it more complete? Just a thought.

  12. So the mercari seller didn’t have time to turn on the console but had time to package it well ok. (Or at least package it better than the Ebay seller.)

    1. Yeah… Also I didn’t mention in the video, but later looked at his profile and found out that he had parted the system out and was selling the power supply and hdd separate LOL. Untested my butt

  13. U can clean the mother board fans and heat sinks with ipa to get the smell out . Hand wash all plastic and metal parts. Not that hard comes out looking and smelling fresh.

    1. @Jacob R very well could have roaches but it’s worth it to check if it does then get ride of it. I restore electronics but first sight of bugs it’s in the trash lol

  14. I know smoking is bad, but please don’t overplay the nicco dust. It’s not going to stink up your game, and good old soap and water will do wonders. I have had to work on smoker’s systems, with the right stuff, you can take about 60% of that smell off. after you have had to clean a roach infested system or two, you will be praying for those smoker units. if you don’t want it, consider donating it. I know someone would want it either way.

  15. Excellent video. On the smoker console you would need to take it down to the board and soak and clean every piece of the case and dowse the motherboard in IPA to even have a chance.

  16. Just curious why the misleading title about getting screwed, basically got a dusty free 360, a free DVD, aand mutiple free games xD sounds like a good deal imo

  17. Haha I just bought 11xbox 360s for 40$ and got a jtagable opus and a blades dashboard on 6361 I think they are all fats besides slims and we’re all untested I got an absolute steal on that 😋

  18. Unlucky in America you dont have buyers protection, over here if anything is faulty or is not as described, even if untested you can get a refund.
    Looks like on the smokers console you need to pull it apart and replace the disk eject drive belt, and clean it while you’re at it. XD Being American you probably scared to get your hands dirty cause your fist thought is to throw it away! HAHAHAH

  19. In the first Xbox, you are wrong. Is a falcon motherboard that can have several problems, it has the 2010 date because is a refurbished console.
    The second is a Jasper, I don’t see jaspers having a bad rrod. Only have problems with their hdd but CPU/GPU are good.

  20. The first console is a refurbished one from Microsoft,notice the very wide barcode and numbers and it’s a falcon mother board which wasn’t made at that time.the second console is a jasper motherboard and that was the proper manufacturing date
