    That headset probably wasn't purchased at clearance and resold, it's more likely that it came from a return or old stock palet purchased at auction.

    9:35 nobody noticed the 100% CPU usage when doing nothing? LOL
  • @EQINOX187
    about that Samsung flip and the cover screen, I am kinda thinking it might simply have been disabled in the settings as that is something you can do. So the screen might not be broken and simply disabled ....... Settings -> Smart Assistance -> Smart cover -> Disable / Enable

    Seeing the droid mini, a $100 verizon only smartphone in 2013, being refurbished for $54. Man I'm sorry but you got scammed.
  • I remember the 2013 Droid series. My grandparents used to have these and I grew up with those phones. I still have them, but one of them went in the washer 6 years ago, the other one broke and the 3rd one I still have.

    Windows phone died faster than Austin's faith in Wish 😂

    Austin's victory lap on the OLED Nokia screen just made my day 💯

    I used to work for RIM which was the maker of blackberry , had to sign 2 NDAs back then while testing the firmware and components on the z10 up to the z3s , i also made countless of those classic blackberries everyones used to seeing lol

    3:30 It was not as good as today's OLED. There was inconstancies and you didn't get pure black.

    A lot of places will simply take overstock or warehouse items and sell them as refurbish to get rid of them. Lots of liquidation companies will just sell stuff they got from buying out a warehouse as a refurb to avoid issues with warranty etc on older stuff.
  • the fact i had 2/3 of these phones sent me down the nostalgia route and makes me feel somewhat old
  • @thatmattgardner
    I worked in hardware engineering on the BlackBerry Z10 (processor integration). That was a depressing time.
  • @benwilson3042
    "Not a terrible CPU", CPU pinned at 100% lmao. Love it.

    an ad from Malaysia about the Lumia , phones were cheaper back then ..
  • @l.o.gfauzan1877
    2:44 yoo this ad is from Malaysia. And I do believe I had once see this ad somewhere on a magazine like, a decade ago or somethin
  • @mgjfile
    Thanks for pointing out at the end of the video, I was going nuts trying to find the refurbished section.
  • @MrMcGlinchey
    my mate had a blackberry z10 and it was kinda cool as it could play youtube audio in background which at that time wasnt really thing on most phones and is now a premium feature it wasnt really any good in for much else though

    3:28 The original Galaxy S had an OLED screen in 2010. Sure it was only 4 inches and 480x800, bit it had one.
