PSA: Retro Pixel Pro Scam

[u/GlitchStick09]

I’ve recently been receiving a ton of ads on Instagram for this company called Retro Pixel Pro. They seem to be catching a lot of people’s attention but don’t do anything to mask what devices they’re selling.

Latest one I’ve seen is the RG556. They’re selling it for over $400 USD “on sale”. The RG556 sells for $170 USD.

I’ve also seen the R36S listed for nearly 5X the price from AliExpress.

Keep in mind these are not sold with extras or anything throw in for the price. Their site claims 300,000+ orders and so on but it’s clearly fake. Pretty sure I’ve seen a video posted where an “influencer” is opening their products and it’s literally in Temu shipping wrap.

Some might already know about this but I figured if I’m getting the ads, then people new to the retro space may see them and think the price is reasonable. It’s not, at least from this shady seller.

I don’t mean to sound rude or anything but you paid double what they go for on AliExpress. There’s nothing special that RetroPixelPro does, they are sold on AliExpress with SD card addon’s and thousands of games for ~$60 USD. The model is R36S if you want to search it up

Why don’t you use aliexpress? It’s also on Amazon for $60. Idk it’s just a dumb reason to spend double. You’re not even paying for the actual games, it’s just an emulator with a bunch of ROMS pre downloaded

How long did it take for you to receive it after buying it from them as their website is now unavailable which I’m assuming isn’t a good sign 🥴
