[00:00] So recently we did a video where we bought and the results were terrible. "It recently came to our attention
[00:12] you received from shopthesalvationarmy.com and genuinely appreciate you bringing this to light. and we take full accountability for that lapse.
[00:25] for you to make another purchase after 30 days. and improvements will be evident." removal of hard drives,
[00:37] that seems like a pretty clear and pretty correct policy. or have they forgotten all about However, there's one elephant
[00:51] Last time I purchased as Pierre Luigi, and while I think the items did come through clearly they found me out.
[01:04] Hit me with some names, we gotta retire, wait. (Alex laughing) - No. Ray Tracy.
[01:17] So I have a number of items This should be a selection of Apple products. - [Alex] They described it as a bulk lot of six,
[01:34] - So essentially, products that are likely but also maybe don't work. Very nicely wrapped up.
[01:49] which, I mean, short of the cracked screen protector, We have an iPod Touch, 2nd gen 8 gig, - This is an iPhone 5S.
[02:06] "Happy birthday Jeff, love Theresa xoxo." Wow, Theresa, you actually do love Jeff. They've been charging for a little bit now
[02:20] and some not so positive signs. So whether that's from a jailbreak if you put into DFU mode and try to restore it,
[02:33] The iPhone 7 has been charging for a very long time But our iPhone 5S actually works fairly well. However, it shows it's on Verizon, it says no service.
[02:49] Oh yep, there is a SIM card in here. but they should have still just popped the SIM out, because other than that, it seems like it's fine.
[03:03] However, this one, as you can see, is locked. because it was acting like a normal iPod it's locked to someone's Outlook.
[03:18] I understand that this is still a functioning iPod I don't love the fact that it is locked but, eh.
[03:34] Our iPod Nano is fully functioning, And not only that, it has 700 songs on it. Do y'all wanna listen to some 2000s iPod Nano music?
[03:48] (upbeat music) - Hey, and the iPad is actually working, question mark? It is though the 64 gig version, it's on iOS 9.
[04:03] How did we do? Like, how much did I spend? I was willing to go a lot higher - [Alex] We paid $71,
[04:16] I don't like the fact that Is there a SIM in the iPhone 7 as well? But the answer is there is another SIM.
[04:31] - Great, oh and it, did it boot up This was charging for like 45 minutes. So it has been factory reset.
[04:43] Yeah, it looks like the SIM card is also not active. battery health is 56%. - Wow. - I don't think I've ever seen below 60.
[04:56] at least this first batch of products? we actually got some pretty decent value, right, The iPod Touches are unfortunately mostly just sort of junk,
[05:10] our iPod Nano just needs a battery, but it works, A dramatic improvement over the absolute dog water that we saw last time.
[05:23] in my fever dreams of spending scrolling through shopthesalvationarmy.com, with a couple of items.
[05:38] You maybe bid on a couple of extra items and you get upset and then you put more money on other items "Oh, I didn't mean to actually get that."
[05:53] All that being said, this one, I'm also just looking for An Xbox 360.
[06:06] So this is a complete in box, theoretically, Xbox 360. and you can see it was a refurbished console, because if you know anything about the Xbox 360,
[06:20] they had to refurbish a few tens of millions of consoles. I was excited because based on the photos, And the answer is, oh hell yeah, brother.
[06:34] Oh, oh wait. - Oh I love that game. - And "Halo 3." - And they're actually, yeah, and in the boxes.
[06:48] I feel like someone got this and did not really use it. and it does have batteries. They expired in 2016.
[07:02] - Damn it, you stole my joke, I was gonna say that too. Thank you, Alex, Hmm.
[07:15] So I'm just gonna swap some cables. Did it work? - Yes. - (gasps) NXE, let's go, baby. (laughs)
[07:30] which was the best one, but you know what are better than the Blades? - The New Xbox Experience, the NXE, the NXE.
[07:43] Oh well, that's a little sad. 'cause I don't know why these aren't working. A controller that works and is functioning, hello.
[07:56] We can watch video from Netflix, Zune and ESPN? Wow, that actually came out so smoothly. Is everyone ready to play the best game on the Xbox 360?
[08:11] (Austin singing) How much did we pay - [Alex] We paid $83 with shipping.
[08:29] - That's actually kind of, wait, what? they post a ton of old consoles, of course, right? I don't think that most of these sell for that much money
[08:43] And I got it for way less than a hundred bucks, right? The actual price of it was like 65 or something. it was for $71 and $12 in shipping.
[08:59] just so I could play the "Halo 3" theme song and I actually did tear up. Edit team, can we get a little flashback to the tear?
[09:13] So this is an item that, You may recall, my house burned down.
[09:28] - No, edit team always run the clip. I get to bring it up now too. Well, in that fire, some of my previous things were lost
[09:42] So I have this little project that slowly but surely getting some things I used to own. Behold, my friends,
[09:56] of "Pokemon Pearl" version, That better not be all. - [Ken] (laughs) He got ripped off.
[10:10] Wait, that's "Diamond." - Ooh. in a copy of "Pokemon Pearl" box? Literally, it says "Pokemon Pearl" case and manual.
[10:26] - Oh, I thought it meant "Pokemon Pearl" - [Ken] Well unfortunately, yeah, you scammed yourself, buddy.
[10:38] I've still got a copy of "Pokemon Diamond," Besides who wants that big old (beep) looking at you anyway? he's got point. - Oh come on.
[10:50] My house burned down. All right Mac, it took you 22 hours to get five badges? Austin Roasts Children's Save Files.
[11:03] You got a Pichu at level 29? This seems like a perfectly reasonable copy How much did I pay for my
[11:15] single copy "Pokemon Diamond" with a "Pearl" box? (Austin laughs) Oh no. - [Alex] You paid $89 including shipping.
[11:32] - Wait, we got a whole Xbox and two games. but I feel like maybe they could have made it Sometimes I will read listings more carefully.
[11:50] - Well... So this is a lot of PC gaming gear. Now I know for a gosh darn fact
[12:03] people's information on it. the graphics card that I bought on this and I could literally read someone's name and address
[12:16] So at the very least, they maybe took care of the digital information So we have ourselves a MSI,
[12:32] which is not sealed in the box, So we'll take a look at that. So it just seems like one of those classic lots
[12:45] A router? We also have a motherboard. which, yes, this is the one.
[13:00] but this is from (beep) Maybe you should not give me someone's address
[13:12] This should be though an actual motherboard I mean, it looks fine, physically. So it probably worked at some point
[13:26] for a while and then just dropped it off which actually this is the 750 Oh, very dusty, incredibly dusty.
[13:40] Wait, that's not the right power supply at all, what? but they gave us all of the cables from the EVGA, - [Ken] Yeah, we're mixing and matching the cables.
[13:55] - [Ken] What the (bleep) is that? This is the sub for the Razer Leviathan, the sub by itself. Totally useless because there's nothing to plug it into.
[14:09] we got ourselves a graphics card, an RX 6600. - It's actually a decent card, now this is from Best Buy, This is not the right goddamn graphics card at all.
[14:23] - Oh, what is it? - It's an XFX RX 580. - [Alex] Yeah. I guess I'll do a little due diligence
[14:39] this gaming PC lot of largely lies? back when I thought that we got
[14:52] I thought that was a pretty fair price. We paid $234,
[15:04] - Some of these items are straight just e-waste. I wouldn't really use that router, So what do we have to say about the Salvation Army?
[15:18] I will say that it is dramatically better than last time. However, I think that when you look at all of it together, The fact that this lot came with
[15:32] doxxed straight in the box that is on the website of the Salvation Army, not great. some of these items were just clearly not correct.
[15:44] Like, that Xbox 360, incredibly clean. we still found some issues, right? you look at the fact that
[15:57] It is, without a doubt, a dramatic improvement. Sounds like a song we would listen to on our iPod.
[16:09] ♪ We didn't know what we're supposed to do ♪ ♪ The Salvation Army is still needing salvation ♪ - Ahem, I got a little weird, I apologize.
