I don't know if Austin ever owned a Dreamcast but they were never quiet by any means

2:06 Actually Dreamcasts were generally quite loud. It was one of the biggest complaints about the system, sounding like it was trying to take flight off of a gravel road. Personally I didn't mind. If I can hear it, it means it's working lol. Still my favorite system of all time.

The Dreamcast is known to be loud when reading disks

I got scammed by Austin Evans

The Dream Cast is still cleaner than Something from DK Oldies

Anybody in the Midwest could have told you this. You'll pay market value for an Xbox 360 with no thumb stick grips, AV cables and a Cheeto stuck in the fan grill.

To answer Austins question @ 1:40, yes, you can still go online using the Dreamcast, and with the broadband adapter you can play Quake III, and Phantasy Star Online over the internet. Granted, the latter is only through private servers.

Even brand-spanking new Dreamcasts still sounded like a lawnmower, they were never known for being quiet.

Dude, what TV did you play the Dreamcast on? I NEED that lol

Dreamcasts are actually loud af so that sounds pretty normal

Ugh that kills me when I saw a boxed dreamcast I was like $104! for a boxed one! Then you opened it and it was certainly an "in box" Dreamcast lmao. What model was it?

You should take all the broken stuff back and get your money back. Cause if you don’t these pawn shops are gonna continue selling the junk to good people.

I'm going to assume Austin has never played on a Dreamcast before, otherwise he'd know the Dreamcast ALWAYS sounded like it was about to take off.

Great video, Austin! May I suggest creating some "thrifting tech" episodes? Not the Goodwill online store; that's too easy! In person from different shops in different socioeconomic areas just to see what treasures can be found for next to nothing. Keep up the great work!

Bro I low key grew up watching you you brought so much happiness to a lot of people man. My friends back in 3rd grade showed me some amnesia video and watching you now it just shows me exactly where I want to be and what I hope to do in life. I wish you the best of luck and all the love to you and Marcia from me my man ♥️

16:44 Those shots are great, especially given how old the camera is. Old Sony cameras were quite good, and hold up relatively well to this day. It's no brand new iPhone when it comes to photo quality, but still good enough for non-photographers.

please please please need a behind the scenes, would absolutely love to see you actually visting the shops honestly

I wouldn't say you got "scammed" outside of the Switch and fake headphones. Yes some items weren't in good shape but really you got the pawn shop experience. Pawn Shops function off the foundation of usually overcharging by $10+ for the convenience of getting it immediately. They're literally the convenience stores of eBay/Amazon.

That digital camera's photos look surprisingly well.

Now I'm nervous... because I just bought a mint condition one X on eBay for $200 him saying 180 is a suspicious doesn't make me feel good Here's the cherry on top the one I bought... is a project Scorpio edition

"Dreamcasts where actually very quiet" Austin your dry humor is getting really good

Most Pawn Shops have a return policy, since your buying used consoles. The one in my town gives you 48 hours to return something if it doesnt work.

This really felt like an older like 2019 austin evens video with the music choice and just fun energetic teck commentery.

15:32 lol, I got a Sony A57 DSLR for $20 from a pawn shop, complete with lens. They lost the charger and it was sold "as-is", and when I popped the battery out I noticed it was a modified InfoLithium M pack, and on a hunch I bought it because I still have my Digital 8 HandyCam that charges those packs. Using the HandyCam as a battery charger, I confirmed the A57 works flawlessly, and it now supplements the $150 Nikon D5100 I got maybe six years ago as "broken", when it really had a convincing counterfeit battery installed. Installed a genuine Nikon battery and the camera worked brilliantly. Just 2 years prior to scoring the D5100, my dad bought a D3100 kit new for $550, so I considered myself rather lucky. My camera had a decently low shutter count once it powered on, likely due to the bad battery. It otherwise looked brand new, which is mostly why I got it.

As a owner of a Dreamcast since it first came out, and still running, they are not quiet, both the gd-rom and fan are quite noticeable. They also do yellow quite a bit.

12:42 “Started from will the Xbox work and now we here” strut 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That Dreamcast reminded me of one of the best deals I have ever gotten... I worked in electronics at Sears, they were throwing out the display for our Dreamcast and I was able to get a functioning Dreamcast (w/out the modem...online gaming was still years away from being a big thing for consoles so I was like "meh, who cares") with controller for the low low price of TWENTY BUCKS. This was when the Dreamcast was still doing well on the market too, they were just doing away with the playable displays for consoles. I got so many good deals on electronics while I worked there

I own that exact model of camera lol. The only issue I had with it, is that the lens mechanism can malfunction and then it renders the entire camera useless. This happens when sand, dirt or grit gets inside the lens mechanism. It's not a camera design flaw, as this issue can be easily avoided by always keeping the camera in its case when not in use. Great video Austin. Keep it up!!

its not a 30+ GB update, but you are actually downloading the digital version of the xbox360 game, see the console isnt truely BW in the normal sense. But when you put the disc in it downloads an updated version of the game with an emulator wrapper so that the console can play it.

I find so many good things at pawn shops. Lots of cameras, gaming stuff, electronics, etc. Just got an Xbox Series X for 200 and a Macbook Pro M1 for 250 (they messed up the OS and couldnt get it working, i just cleared it and re-loaded the OS and sold for 700)

I got a free mac mini from work. I believe it is a 2014 model. Had some issues with the os and it wouldnt reinstall so i ended up putting windows 10 on it to run emulators for my kiddos. It runs pretty good considering.

Love this man vids fr fr

Surely if things don’t work they can be returned so not technically scammed? In the UK you’d most certainly be able to return non working items to a pawn shop 👍🏻

I love this series so much. Please don't stop😅

I like how Austin spent $45 on $7 headphones that don’t even work.

5:38 That transition though!

When he said that Dreamcasts were quiet, I almost laughed out loud.

one fun fact about that laptop's touch bar, if you do any windows updates it breaks it completely

Dreamcasts used to have an issue where they would randomly reset (something to do with the solder on the PSU being jenky I think) when I worked for Gamestation if anyone was trading one in we had to play it for fifteen minutes continuously to check if it had the issue. One weekend the main warehouse was all “yeah send that store every Dreamcast we’ve got in stock for the lols) I was tasked with sitting behind the counter with a little portable TV and a stack of dreamcasts and playing each one for 15-20 minutes to ensure it was suitable to sell. That weekend was great. I remember a dude going ape shit at the manager because it was busy and he’d been in the queue for ages and one of the staff was just sat playing games instead of helping him. The manager said “yeah, that’s his job.” The guy was shocked and asked how he could get paid to play video games. Sometimes I do miss that place!

16:44 the MySpace picture quality uploads 😂😂

It’s been a while since I’ve watched Austin, I’m glad to be back lol

Who'd ever take a switch out of a store without demanding a button test

Austin’s uploads are on fire lately

That movie you got in the mini is a classic one. So many great actors in it.

I like to think that whoever sold the Mac Mini just went “oh THAT’S where my excalibur DVD went” 🤣

Austin Evans, keeping Temu, Wish, Alibaba, and Pawn Shops in business!

austin's frustration over updates is the realest

I remember getting a PS3 from a pawn shop and when I tested it, the console had YLOD. When I returned it, I told the guy it had YLOD and he thought I was out of my mind because he didn't know what a YLOD meant, the guy then tested it and I heard the 3 beeps from YLOD and he had a good 2 cracks at starting it up. Then he told me it worked in order to convince me that the YLOD was a coincidence. He still accepted the return thankfully.

Ahh dreamcasts. The only system that plays burned games with no mod chips needed.

00:50 Those aren't sold listings, they're still active (as of the video production). You have to look at sold listings because anyone can start them at a high bid and still not sell them.

Man I'm going through kidney stones pain at the moment and your videos calm me down!

Dreamcasts always sounded like it was eating the CDs

You already know the people at the shops that sold the headphones told their boss that they actually sold those headphones.

That camera feed was way better than I expected lol

0:18 I recognize that pawn shop lol it's always strange to see local areas pop up

Remember, kids, don't be Austin And actually test the things you're gonna buy.

I bought my latest laptop at a pawn shop. Is a HP envy 15” convertible laptop. Originally, they were asking for $400. I offered $300, they shot back $350. Said nah, walked to the truck and right as I was shifting into reverse to back out, the guy came out and said they would take $300. Not a bad deal for a Ryzen 5 4500u laptop I’m pretty good condition.

All the Pawn Shops in my area have ZERO returns lol

if i wanted to watch non working tech finds, i would of watched “austin evans shopping at a pawn shop”

Haha Dreamcasrs were NEVER quiet! The GD-Rom Drive was always so noisy! It gives my nostalgia listening to it, honestly.

Skyrim isn't backwards compatible because they wanted you to buy the special edition, which is why even after Xbox bought Bethesda it still isn't backwards compatible. I believe most of the 360 games that aren't backwards compatible are mostly due to that, in other words they were rereleased/remastered/Xbox one version was released from the start or there might be licensing issues.

Cal Poly Pomonaaaaa. Noticed it on the laptop screen, had to rep my alma mater lol

Borderline drunk and by the end of this video I'm gonna be drunk asf😂 relatable way to much at thus point

Lol 😂Dreamcast being quiet 😂I spit my coffee out all over my PS5

Austin's frustration level rising in some areas of this video were funny and relatable.

You say audio has gotten better over the years...but the best audio I've ever had on a laptop is the Toshiba Qosmio back in the Core2Duo days. Had projected surround sound with a built-in HK system, it sounded INCREDIBLE and the projected surround was flawless.

Love the channel! Did anyone ever tell you " dude be looking like Gilbert Godfrey!!" 8:15 fake Beats Clip

Been watching Austin for years. Is he ever going to hit puberty?

Ah man you make me fell some kind of nostalgia of those 2001 2010 ish items!

Some games are still playable online for the Dreamcast via the Broadband Adapter through private servers, such as Phantasy Star Online, Toy Racer, and Quake III Arena.

I still rock the same 2nd Gen X1 Carbon as my Daily. If you get one of the higher specced models with an i7, at least 8GB and a 1080p or better screen. This thing still puts most other laptops to shame when it comes to weight and usability. Performance is limited (since its only a dual core) but if all you do is browsing and MS office, this thing still rocks. And all that while being thin & light and exceptionally well built.

16:25 Prepared Hero Alex For protecting Austin from a potential fire

Poor Austin’s frustration 😆 nothing went right in this video

2:09. Hahahaha. That’s a no, little dude.

I know pawn shops can be pretty shady but they really shouldn't be selling obvious counterfeit products. The max knock offs are fine because they aren't actually saying they are apple products but those fake beats? That feels like selling those is probably illegal unless the shop was upfront about them being fakes. Especially since those don't look like trade ins but stuff they are buying themselves and reselling which is double shady.

Uhh Dreamcasts were not known to be quiet when reading the disc.

I cant believe he said dreamcasts are know to quiet. 😂

I really miss the point-and-shoot digital camera era. It makes me wonder what is out there for honestly really good digital cameras since the sensors and technology in a flagship smartphone is unreal. With that fact, a decent non DSLR digital camera should honestly pack a real punch in today's world. As much as the convenience of taking photos on my phone is amazing, there truly isn't anything like pulling out the camera for your memories. Taking selfies without knowing what was in the frame and laughing at the failed attempts. I would be totally interested in a $400-$600 non DSLR digital camera with on-par or better technology than a modern flagship phone. Ultra-crisp and touch-screen OLED, true optical zoom, great aperture and sensors, awesome low-light modes. I think for the photographer on the go, or the non-professional that wants great shots without the bulk of a DSLR around your neck the whole way, it could be a great middle ground. I'm sure it exists, I just haven't gone looking for a digital camera in over a decade...

You definitely gotta do some deep cleaning on some these products especially the Dreamcast

fun video, found some steals myself at pawn shops last year inc. an RTX3050ti Victus 16 for $200 and an M1 Macbook Air for the same price. sometimes you can get lucky.

If a pawn shop sold you counterfeit beats they committed a crime.

when ppl see austin walk into their store. they see a all day sucker. a big bag of money walking in

I usually shop at goodwill and usually never have any issues

The Dreamcast has both the loudest disk drive in existence and the best analogue sticks ever (hall effect)

The only electronic stuff I ever find at pawn shops around here are things like phones or monitors from 20+ years ago. No matter how many I've been to, I never find any cool stuff, not even broken versions of cool stuff.

Dreamcast is so outta pocket for that booty remark

Pawn shops are 50/50 you can get really lucky or you can get really unlucky, luckily the pawn shop i go to i know the guy personally so I always get really good deals

Damn they hosed you on that Switch Lite lmao 😢😂

Why does the cheap 2000s camera look better than modern day laptop webcams?

What happens to all this stuff after you’re done with the video? Does it just sit in the studio gathering dust?

"Dreamcasts are actually fairly quiet" lmao.... yeaaa....

I remember I had the black 2kSports Edition Dreamcast in Middle School man you couldn't tell me anything 😂 😂

"Dreamcasts are fairly quiet" said nobody, ever 🤔

My high school rented us the 2011 version of that Lenovo laptop in our senior year of high school. Spent so many classes playing SNES and GBA games on it lol

Dreamcast always sounded like a freight train. Mine does and it runs fine. Just turn the TV volume up and you're all good.

YOU PAID $50 FOR THE P9s!? I ONLY PAID $5!

So, I first started exploring photography with a pocket camera very similar to that Sony camera and that is how I got hooked on the hobby.

We literally got 4 Sony Cybershots out of a storage box in the computer room for the kids to play around with. They're having a great time and the cameras suprisingly hold up pretty well.

You always ask to try shit at the pawn shop if they don’t let you, it’s a scam

11:56 thats what she said 😂
