EBAY Declines GAMESTOP's $56 Billion Takeover Bid -- What Happens Next?

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]What's going on fellow humans and resellers? It is I, James, redoptionaggency.com, urban-picker.com.

[00:00:06]24 years cha cha ching fulltime on eBay.

[00:00:14]We are Tuesday morning.

[00:00:16]One bad thing about this Tuesday morning is Oak Island ended last week. Damn.

[00:00:23]Damn.

[00:00:25]Damn. But anyway, um but we did get some news today. Um eBay has turned down, dismissed, kicked out, thrown away, didn't take seriously the bid from GameStop.

[00:00:43]Let me get straight into that and then I'm going to talk about my numbers yesterday, how eBay screwed up yesterday, and um a little idea for the future. All right. Uh, let's see which one did I read this morning.

[00:00:59]There we go.

[00:01:02]So, eBay rejects GameStop's 56 billion bid as neither creditable nor attractive.

[00:01:10]They swatted the fly away. In other words, that's just the way I took it.

[00:01:15]Anyway, kind of disappointed honestly. I am, especially after reading this. I'll read it to you because I had hope for change. We know how screwed up this eBay website is. And what they're about to say kind of just says the same old same old that they're just going to keep taking from us if you if you really dig deep into it like I my mind did. eBay stresses its turnaround efforts to push growth. Wait, hold on here. um analysts in investors had expected eBay to reject the bid. That's just a summary there.

[00:01:55]And then Cohen has said he could take the bid directly to shareholders. So, um so May 12th, that's today. Um, eBay on Tuesday rejected an ambitious 56 billion takeover bid from the much smaller GameStop on doubts over the financing of the deal while underscoring its turnaround efforts that have boosted growth. Again, the only boosted growth they have seen has come from our pockets.

[00:02:27]Analysts, why are you so jumpy site?

[00:02:30]Analysts and investors have doubted whether the halfcash halfs stock bid from the 12 billion video game retailer for a company nearly four times its market value would close. Exactly.

[00:02:41]That's my my and I don't even know a lot about this kind of stuff, but my first instincts was that's not going to happen. The structure of it is just not going to if it was all in cash, it'd probably be a totally different story. But the way it was structured just I don't think was appealing because you'd have to have trust in Ryan.

[00:03:05]And as I said, it's even after the interview, the great interview with Justin, he still seems a little wishwashy, like would you put your trust, your future, you know, into him if it involved cash, right?

[00:03:28]I probably wouldn't if it involved millions of dollars of cash. I just I just wouldn't. Um analyst investors have Okay, I read that. Um eBay stock has been trading far below the offer price of 125 per share.

[00:03:45]Uh earlier this month it fell 1% to 107 before the bell this morning while GameStop was down 4%.

[00:03:54]Come on, you can you can do it.

[00:03:57]Does this site just not want to work with touchscreen? What is it? What's going on here?

[00:04:04]Let's refresh.

[00:04:06]Cohen has also argued that by combining GameStop and eBay, he could cut costs and find synergies to create a much bigger enterprise. Now, personally, this computer and this screen, I didn't really see that big of a um verifying the device really.

[00:04:30]I really didn't see that much of a benefit for having GameStop stores for eBay. I really didn't other than verifying cards and/or video games. you know, they weren't going to do purses or shoes or anything like that. So, there wasn't really a benefit for 99.9% of eBay resellers.

[00:04:54]Come on, screen.

[00:04:56]No, I don't want to buy nothing.

[00:04:58]Maybe that's why it wants me to buy something.

[00:05:02]Just let me read.

[00:05:04]These sites are just terrible about that.

[00:05:07]Okay.

[00:05:10]No, I don't want to buy your stuff.

[00:05:15]Good lord.

[00:05:18]Okay. Well, anyway, it didn't go through.

[00:05:23]Uh, GameStop has not commented at this time.

[00:05:27]And here we go again. I guess I can't read unless I subscribe. Stupid. These websites are pathetic.

[00:05:34]Uh, so let's go to a different one. PR Newswire. What's that one? That one sounds not biased.

[00:05:45]Oh, they actually got a letter here.

[00:05:48]Letter of response. Dear Mr. Cohen, the board with the support of its independent adviserss has thoroughly reviewed your proposal and is determined to reject it. We have concluded that your proposal is neither credable nor attractive. We have taken into account such factors as eBay's standalone prospects, the uncertainty regarding your financial proposal, the impact of your proposal on eBay's long-term growth and profitability, uh the leverage, operational risk, and leadership structure of a combined entity.

[00:06:24]the results the resulting implication of these factors on valuation and Gamestock's government's ex um executive incentives.

[00:06:37]eBay is a strong resilient business that has delivered meaningful results over the past several years.

[00:06:49]But where have those results come from?

[00:06:55]It's not in getting new buyers to the platform. It's not in selling more product because with the issues and the way the promotions structured, we sell less items. Um, I do believe there's more buyers than product right now. that if the promotions weren't in the way and things getting lost on eBay and the search and the way it all is set up now, I honestly believe eBay is losing a lot of sales because people are just going elsewhere just kind of like the sellers have.

[00:07:34]So, I believe it's not saturation in my opinion. Um, it's just eBay has created its own bottleneck and it's stunting it's it's stunting our growth which in turn is stunting eBay's growth. So, eBay has to take more from us to make it not look like such my opinion from all my experience which or lack thereof experience whatever you want to call it. Um, we have sharpened our strate strategic focus, strengthened exe execution, enhanced our marketplace and seller experience, and consistently returned capital to shareholders.

[00:08:21]Highlight that because it's coming from us.

[00:08:27]I honestly c I honestly, you know, I said this before, it can't go on forever. So, what is the next phase in their eBay step to get more money from us? Like, what next are they going to dig up out of the blue that we wouldn't even think about? Because if you think about it, eBay right now is like the government.

[00:08:48]All right, we're taxed to even be here.

[00:08:53]We're taxed to list stuff.

[00:08:56]We are taxed to sell stuff. We are taxed on charging shipping for our stuff.

[00:09:04]We are taxed on paying shipping for our stuff. We are taxed on the government tax of our stuff.

[00:09:12]We are taxed on permit people seeing our stuff.

[00:09:18]I mean we're taxed at every ex every just like the government every step of life you are taxed. Every step of reselling today on eBay, you are taxed and then some, just like the government.

[00:09:33]What's next?

[00:09:35]Store fees go up, insertion fees go up.

[00:09:39]How are they going to tax us next?

[00:09:43]That's the only way they're growing in for their shareholders is the they're acting like the government taxing you at every step.

[00:09:54]And I'm I'm not being down about it.

[00:09:56]That's just the reality of it. You know, we have to find ways to adjust in life.

[00:10:01]We have to find ways to adjust on eBay.

[00:10:04]I can [ __ ] about it if I want, but you know what? There's there's two there's two pe types of people out there. When you [ __ ] about something, you either find a solution, you go someplace else, you keep you raise your prices, whatever, or you let it drag you down. I'm always going to be the one that finds solutions. always going to be. So, don't get it twisted.

[00:10:24]If I'm bitching about something, don't get it twisted. I'm still going to find a way out of it. And of course, I share it all with you on what I'm doing to try to make things better. So, in the end, if I find something to [ __ ] about and you feel the same, take solace in the fact that I might come up with something that's going to help us out. So, mine always running 247.

[00:10:48]eBay is strong res. read that and uh our team remains focused on executing strate I already read that so no I didn't our team focused on executing our strategy and driving our business forward in the best interest of the company our shareholders our employees and millions of buyers and sellers around the world I would have I would I would have uh redacted that last one there and millions of buyers and sellers around the world because I I would argue that there are millions of buyers and sellers that are not happy with the platform and the way that they are conducting business.

[00:11:25]That's just me. Boom.

[00:11:31]But anyway, that is the news there.

[00:11:36]So, unfortunately, we don't have a a Superman coming to our rescue anytime soon. Um, if he takes it to the shareholders, what does that mean? I have no clue personally because some of the big wigs are the shareholders, right? Uh Black Rockck or whatever. If they see it shaky, they're but maybe they're ready to cash out quick. I don't know. Maybe they I don't I don't know what that looks like. I can't even speculate on that until I do some research into it. But wouldn't there be more shareholders to convince?

[00:12:13]Maybe not because the majority rules, right?

[00:12:17]And who holds the most? I think Black Rockck does. So if you can convince Black Rockck, then maybe you got a a foot in the right direction. Maybe. I like again, I don't know how that works exactly. But so take it for what it is.

[00:12:31]I do not know. I'm just I'm just guessing with my ignorance. My ignorance. Anyway, so new day. I woke up today refreshed.

[00:12:42]Now, I think I hit all the grieving thing with Courtney. I went through the whole process, you know, angry, mad at myself. Did I give up too soon? Yeah, I went through it all. Um, and today I just woke up refreshed. I wrote woke up reinvigorated.

[00:13:00]Reinvig invigorated. Is that the word?

[00:13:06]And a fresh idea popped in my head. And I'm like, yeah, I like that. But I think what most popped in my head was that my head popped. It went, "Actually, I need to do that. I need somebody knows how to crack necks without making me fear I'm going to they're going to break my neck and I die." Um, but I feel a fresh of a new fresh of a new.

[00:13:35]I feel that's that's not technically a term.

[00:13:40]Fresh of a new. I guess you technically got that is that kind of does make sense. Fresh of a new. Um, as I said, you got to when things make, you know, you have major changes in your life. And some may think, you know, a dog's not a major change, but you know, coming from me, my dogs are my life because I'm here 24/7.

[00:14:02]They're who I talk to the most. They're who I spend the most time with than anybody else in the house.

[00:14:09]um they're my company. there. And of course with all the problems that you know Courtney had the backend issue which I knew would lead to her demise. Um the vern cancer peewee's epilepsy you know I put a lot of focus on my dogs so they have a huge impact on me. Plus I love the innocence of animals and children.

[00:14:37]Um, and I hold that with um I don't know what's the word I would look for. I hold that with great like I put that up on a pedestal. If I can if something can go through this life on this planet.

[00:14:53]Sorry.

[00:14:56]Born into innocence and you can get them to death and still experience that innocence.

[00:15:05]You've done your job. At least with animals in my opinion, you know, that's they don't need to feel the weight of the world that humans do.

[00:15:17]And then for the innocence of children, keep them innocence as long as you can by teaching them um you know, I don't when I say that, I don't mean keep a blind eye to them because then they would end up failing.

[00:15:32]But for as long as you can until you need to start teaching them how the world works and how to keep that little kid inside you until the day you die.

[00:15:45]And that's by setting them up for success. That you know, money is power.

[00:15:50]Money is going to allow you find something you love. I given you the platform, the forum to stay here as long as you can to find you something you love. Because, you know, it took me 30 years of struggling, which I'm going to get to a dream, too. It took me 30 years of struggling without a structured support to find what I loved. And it was horrible. It was hell. I will give you the strength and stability, the support to find what you love. Once you do, you take it to the moon. You cash your money in the pile up in the bank and I will give you freedom to be a kid until you die.

[00:16:28]That to me is the essence of how you raise a child.

[00:16:34]And uh I personally think that I've been able to do that on the children's, you know, on the boys and on the puppies and I take pride in that.

[00:16:48]But I also believe that when something happens, you have to find your life's going to change. Whether it's your parents or if you hold a strong bond with an animal, your life's going to change.

[00:17:02]You have to find the positives, the the the new. Make the new fresh positive and go with the changes. Don't hold yourself back. Don't feel guilty. Um you know, now I can take peewee to the post office whereas I couldn't before. But then, you know, I had a moment of course during the screening process where I felt guilty doing it because, well, why couldn't Courtney go? And Courtney always, you know, she was always nervous in the car because and mainly I think because of her legs and her support and it probably hurt her more than she enjoyed it. So, I always, you know, so I remember that and go that's why I couldn't take her. You know, we went to the park a few times and she lasted not very long, right? So, we didn't go to the park very often. When we went for a walk, she could only go halfway up the street. So, I have to remind myself not to feel guilty doing it now with him full fully, you know. So, you you've got to find the positives. And when I woke up this morning, my mind was felt fresh.

[00:18:07]I felt full of ideas. I felt drive again. I felt I wouldn't necessarily say purpose because what is the purpose of life for me? It was just to be happy but well I guess I did find purpose because I woke up happy and my idea is kind of building on things I've always wanted to do that I think would have I would have fun at and in turn be happy doing.

[00:18:41]Um, so yeah, I had a fresh idea this morning and of course I want to I want to actually put thought into this this and not just kind of a little bit of thought. Not much because I like being spontaneous and stuff anyway, but I want to give it a little bit more thought. I want it to marinate a little bit. See if I can build around the idea. Um, but the idea is just called midday Mayhem and it will include YouTube.

[00:19:18]You know, I've always wanted to do a live, always thought about the time to do a live. I I when should I do it?

[00:19:25]Things like that. Midday mayhem.

[00:19:29]Who does midday lives? And then there's a saying, um, it's five o'clock somewhere. Well, it's midday somewhere.

[00:19:36]So, it technically doesn't have to be midday, right? But I don't. So, I'm playing with that idea. Um, now I just got to work on the actual structure because it's not just going to be I don't want it to be just about reselling. I want to go just like this video. I want to talk about anything and everything and go in any direction and then have interactions with everybody out there at the same time. So, you never know where it's going to go. And there's no rules to where it can go. And I want to be free minded enough to say whatever the hell's on my mind, I don't care. And I'm at that point, I think, with medication getting me out of the depression and just in my free mindset now where nothing bothers me. I can talk about anything and it don't bother me.

[00:20:20]Of course, people can comment about anything. It doesn't bother me, but I can still play on that stuff. And I think the last video gave me that indication of that because I, as you know, the PL tagged me in a video, so I made a response and forgot all about it afterwards. But then you start seeing comments saying, um, I think about this person too much and stuff. I'm like, no, actually, I didn't even think about it after I was done. So that whole thing said, yeah, I'm in the right mindset.

[00:20:53]Let's talk about whatever the hell you want to talk about. It doesn't matter if it's positive, negative, whatever. I know how it's going to affect me at the end of the day, which is I don't care. I'm still going to be who I am, where I'm going, and what I do no matter what.

[00:21:08]Just because I come across an obstacle and I I uh kick it aside and and say something about it doesn't mean it's affecting me in any way. It just means it's a topic for conversation. So, let's go. Um, and then you already know how I forget things so easily and things like that.

[00:21:27]So, it's it's just that whole it's like all coming together right now. And why not create something from it, something beautiful from it? And of course, you know, if it's got my mug on it, it's going to be totally beautiful.

[00:21:52]more so maybe 25 years ago. But hey, I'm not giving up and you know I can joke about anything.

[00:22:02]So even myself. So that is the that to me is the perfect type of person who who can do I'm not saying I'm perfect even though I am at least right at this moment.

[00:22:19]is a person who can joke about themselves and anything else and just have that free mind that nothing bothers them. Everything's just um it's just a game we're in. We're just in a play.

[00:22:31]We're just in a video game. We're just in a simulation. Whatever. So, let's turn some knobs and see what happens because I know tomorrow I'm going to be back at the beginning where I am now and it's a new day. Let's go. And what was old is old.

[00:22:50]On that note, boom. I had a dream. So, I had a dream last night, which is pretty weird, but after I thought about it, when I got up this morning, I'm like, you know, it kind of plays into my entire life. So, I found myself at the apartment complex that I grew up in, and I'm in the backyard. And the weird thing is it was like everybody here lived there. My family who's passed away lived there. Like everybody lived there, including people I didn't know in the other apartments, even though we knew everybody in those apartments then.

[00:23:26]And it was all about trying to find a place to sleep. And so I was going to build this place outside that we could all sleep along the row of the back of the yard with the back to the alley. I was going to build this thing and I was building out spaces and then I'm like, "Oh, wait. It's going to rain. When it rains, we we'll be wet. I can't do this.

[00:23:50]Okay, there's not enough room in the apartment. What am I going to do?" Then when I go in the apartment, you know, it's this house. And it's just it was really weird. And like Adrian was like a little kid again. He was like three and four again. He had that little s his little um funny things going on. and his little he's always had funny oneliners and stuff since he was a kid. But um like he he wanted his own room no matter what. And I go I I'm going to sleep in here and he's like no this is my it was just it was kind of everything. But I think what it came to down to is all my life I've struggled with where I've slept.

[00:24:30]I slept on a couch in a front room of a drive by neighborhood. Um, I slept in basement with um walls of blankets as my walls where other people could get in there.

[00:24:45]I slept in uncomfortable situations.

[00:24:48]I've slept in the, you know, with a at least with a roof, but with the heat and the cold from the outdoors cuz there was no, it was just plywood separating the two. Um, I've slept in uncomfortable situations where I didn't know the people in the house really. So, I've slept in a ton of uncomfortable situations and it wasn't until here this location that I found peace in sleep.

[00:25:16]And so, it was just weird how that dream all revolved around where I was going to sleep and trying to build all these different places to sleep and nothing worked. It was pretty weird. I remember because I woke up so I don't know how it really ended but it was an interesting dream. Like it took me through my whole life of uncomfortable sleep.

[00:25:41]And why it did that I'm not sure but it was pretty cool.

[00:25:46]And so I I when I thought about it I'm like that's actually my life. My life has been trying to find a comfortable place to sleep.

[00:25:58]But anyway, all right. Um, I don't I've got very little to ship here because eBay's just been a [ __ ] show. Um, yesterday I couldn't ship some items, you know, so server failures, all kinds of [ __ ] And that's another thing, too.

[00:26:21]Kids don't watch this channel. So, if I say [ __ ] goddamn hell [ __ ] So be it.

[00:26:28]You know, before I would kind of slow my roll just so I wouldn't You know what?

[00:26:33]If it comes out, it comes out in the heat of passion.

[00:26:38]It's not like it's an everyday word or or an every phrase word, but in the heat of the passion, if I say it, I'm not going to even think about stopping myself. So, I apologize if you are offended by words, but that don't make sense because words are words and you can make them mean whatever the hell you want them to mean, especially in the English language.

[00:26:59]Think about it. Think about it. There.

[00:27:01]There. There.

[00:27:03]Hold on. I got cough.

[00:27:07]I'm pretty good at overan animating things, right? Cough.

[00:27:22]Let's take all those features of who I am and let's put it on a live show and let's title it Midday Mayhem, which means nothing is off topics.

[00:27:38]All right. Yesterday performance sales.

[00:27:54]I can just go straight to performance here.

[00:27:58]Yesterday 13174. I don't have my calculator, so we're going to have to do this in the head. Uh so 132 total rounded up there.

[00:28:12]Yesterday over here we've got I think we had some international eBay site sales. Let's see.

[00:28:22]Yes, we had uh about $45.

[00:28:26]That helped out a lot, but we still only got $54 there. So, $135, $130, $140.

[00:28:37]No, $135, call it, or $635, sorry. So, under that 700 mark. Um, if I remember, I'll try to do a video today of last week's numbers because I'm curious to see what the average day was last week because I think we were better than the week before, but it was still a crappy week with the problems with the eBay site and whatever they did Sunday night totally trash the site yesterday.

[00:29:05]And again, I had that indexing feel. Um, what was it? There was it was weird because like like today on my today overnight and yesterday on my store too all my items came from the tub room nowhere else. Um but there was an item I'm I think it was a cassette. I don't remember now but it all came from the same location. different sellers, three or four different items, different sellers, all from one drawer. And it was an old drawer. It wasn't like something new I just relisted. I haven't listed in nine days. So, it was and I think it was from that room also. But again, red flag indexing feel as I call it.

[00:30:01]What did they do? Did they do anything last night? Let's look at today. We are at 9:30 a.m.

[00:30:08]I'm at $18 on store one. So that's a normal start for that store and only $66 on store one. So starting out very slow today, too. Hopefully we can get some indexing back in because my graph's going down again. I have not listed for eight days, but I'm going to start listing today. Get back into that. I've taken pictures of thousands of things so far.

[00:30:38]So, what I plan to try to do every day, and I know I keep changing things, but I keep trying to just tweak them a little bit, not necessarily change them. So, I'm still going into the same rotations type of thing, but I want to try to take more pictures per day of items. So take pictures of more items per day than I list in order to try to get through the garage. So all that stuff. So if there comes a day where I don't feel like doing anything but listing, I can list a thousand items. So the goal is to list two to 300 items a day.

[00:31:18]Um, even though I'm behind this month, I really need to do more to make up for it to hit my 6,000, but at the same time, stop and take more pictures. Take pictures of 300 plus items that day on top of it to build more backstock.

[00:31:40]Um, so that's the goal. How that will play out, I'm not sure. So, it's like taking what I originally was going to do and just adding a little bit to it, which can help give me focus during the day. So, I have less waste time because I've got a little bit more time now.

[00:32:00]Uh during the day, I don't have to I only got one puppy now. So, there's time freed up there. again, taking the positives out of the change and trying to do something with the positives. Even though I would trade that time for more time with her, you can't do that. You can't change what has happened. So, take what's different and turn it into a positive.

[00:32:29]And I say that for you guys, but I also I'm I am digging that deeper and deeper into my subconscious.

[00:32:39]So that if there is a moment down the road where I start thinking differently, my subconscious will kick in and go, "No, you have to roll with it. You can't change it. Go." And there's been actually a couple of times where I was already there and I just tell myself, "You can't change what happened. You can't change." You know, feeling this way ain't going to change anything. It ain't going to bring her back. So, I say this to try to help somebody, too, but I'm also subconsciously digging, you know, burying information into my head over and over again. But, um, now I lost my thought where I was going with that.

[00:33:18]Oh, keep myself more focused during the day. Look at that. I remembered.

[00:33:24]And then also too if I can do this live thing.

[00:33:31]Um that will carve out like an hour where it could be like a break for me and be maybe in a transition part of the day where okay, I've listed 300 items.

[00:33:48]Let's take this break, do this, and that'll reinvigorate me to go and take pictures of 300 items. you know what I mean? So, I'm trying to build something like that. So, that's why I'm not ready yet. I've got to get the basis of it.

[00:33:59]But not only just the basis of it, I I don't want to necessarily go in cold. I want to find a source. I don't know what that is yet, how that looks to have a baseline to start with topic-wise.

[00:34:16]Hey, blah blah blah. And then let it go wherever it goes. But at least not coming in cold.

[00:34:23]But I also don't want to put any time and thought. I want it to be more organic and or I just take something and go roll with it. I don't want to have to put time and thought into it. Again, I work better spontaneous um when my mind's free of garbage.

[00:34:44]So, I don't want to have like today it would be about eBay turning down the the bid and going off and making jokes about this and that and bitching about it and talking about good and the bad, the ugly and what's the future look, letting it flow, right? Just kind of like I did here, only blow it up more. And then with your interactions, it would definitely blow it up more. So, but I don't want to have to think of a topic to start off with every day. So, I need to find a source or something to get me rolling every day. Like, ah, that's of interest and see if I can get it from the same place or something. I don't know. I don't I'm not there yet. I'm almost there. I'm there. I'm getting there. I've been trying to get there for a while, but at least I'm on a name now.

[00:35:31]And I've got an idea of a time and we go from there.

[00:35:36]And the time meaning not necessarily a time time slot, but a certain time in the day between two things to take a break between. So shut up, James. All right, we're not going to ship store two right now. I'll do that later. There was only four items there and they were again all in that room.

[00:35:58]Tub 132, tub 133, tub 124, and tub 92.

[00:36:11]So, we're going to ship the little bit I got in store one, which is 22 items right now. Two have sold since I pulled.

[00:36:19]So, we got 20 items to ship out. So, let's knock out the 5 ounce 6 by10s first.

[00:36:28]And first up, we got the Daryl. The Daryl. The Daryl Wears Prada.

[00:36:34]The Daryl Wears Prada. You know, if it was called that, it' probably make me want to watch it, but I have no interest in watching this. I don't watch many movies, as you know. 420.

[00:36:46]Red to go.

[00:36:49]We've got an eight track for Eddie Arnold.

[00:36:56]See, that's what I want. I want the the live too to be almost not just a spontaneous goofy um say whatever the hell you want to say feel. I also want to learn something.

[00:37:06]Like if if for some reason Eddie Arnold came up, I could pull him up on Wikipedia and we could find out who the hell he really is. Learn something new.

[00:37:16]There's so much we don't know. There's so much I don't know. I don't know what this movie is about. Is it based off something real life? I don't know. But if it came up, I could find out. That's So, I want to kind of include that kind of stuff in the live, too. I want it to be just kind of all over the place. A mayhem, if you will. Eddie Arnold sold for $4.

[00:37:41]The mayhem. Next up, we've got a classical piece here, Martha Achurich.

[00:37:50]Sold for seven bucks.

[00:37:54]Next up, we've got we've got a workingclass dog right here. Rick Springfield. Sealed CD sold for $10. I wish that I had Jesse's girl.

[00:38:06]James, don't try to sing again. Next up, we got another little classical piece here by some guy named Beethoven. I thought he was a dog, man. I thought he was a St. Bernard dog. I didn't know he was classical composer.

[00:38:23]Why'd you drop it in the trash? That's what I think of Beethoven.

[00:38:31]Uh, that sold for 550. What am I doing?

[00:38:34]Just need the front.

[00:38:37]Everybody got some good.

[00:38:47]You want a piece of my heart? You better start from the start. You want a piece of my soul. Come on, baby. Let's go. I found this rock station out of Houston.

[00:39:01]I think I've been listening to them off and on along with the hard H harden rock hard rock heaven radio station. But they're because they're playing everything from Lover Boy like 70s stuff that I really have no clue Molly Hatchet things that I've never really paid attention to. But they're playing stuff like that through the 80s Cinderella and Tesla and uh even some harder some lower level bands that never made it big. But they're also playing stuff like Drowning Pool and Black Label Society and newer heavy stuff too. So I've been listening to So, I've been hearing more um classic rock and more newer rock. So, I kind of like that. It's kind of expanded me a little bit because I never really paid too much attention other than like 81 through 93 was my music love, right? So with some going KISS and you know some going into the 70s of course and of course some going into the later 90s and 2000s drowning pool Marilyn Manson stuff like that but for my focus was always my my knowledge base and focus was always 81 through about 93.

[00:40:19]Next up we got Jamie Kennedy CD sold for $4.

[00:40:31]Carla Tyler promo CD single. This thing's been in my store 13 years.

[00:40:41]Sold for $3.

[00:40:46]Got a couple cassettes here that can go together, which will be about the same weight. We got two April Wine. like April Wine. I've never really listened to April Wine. So now with that station, they'll throw some April Wine. I couldn't tell you what it they played right now, but hearing stuff that I wouldn't normally give the time of day to >> because it was 70s.

[00:41:15]I always had a stigma in my head with 70s rock because here in St. Louis Ki95 was the big thing growing up for the Hoosiers for like the generations older than me, the boomers who are always out drinking, shirtless, working on their cars, and that's what part of the neighborhoods were in South St. Louis. And I never wanted to be a part of that. So, I always associated that with 70s rock on Qui. So, there's a mental block there when it comes to 70s rock that I didn't want to be like them. So, I stayed away from it.

[00:41:54]Now, I need to realize, take those blocks down. They don't exist. You made them up. And you're not going to be that. So, you're not that. You're almost dead. And you're not that. So, get over it. Tear the blocks down.

[00:42:13]You're almost dead.

[00:42:15]You're closer to death than you are birth. So, get over it. Um, let's see.

[00:42:23]Yeah. So, it's a five.

[00:42:26]Get over it, dumbass.

[00:42:30]Um, this will probably go in one. Let me We got a Are you ready? We got Aqui or something. 12 stones. And we've got Mossy. Alex Mossy cassette. But all together. or sold for 1789.

[00:43:01]Don't know if I'm dead or alive. Sweet dreams, they will crucify me on the survive. I don't know all the words exactly, but very melodic song. I like melodic songs.

[00:43:17]So that was a nine.

[00:43:21]That was a nine.

[00:43:24]That should fit in a 6 by 10.

[00:43:27]So that's nine of the 20 orders.
