i love the mom and pop store video, it was not only wholesome but really fun to watch. The chemistry between the store owner and linus was not cringe at all, in fact it is very genuinely funny. I hope they make more video like that.
so so true
would be hard to find someone as entertaining as that store owner though
Playing the gambling games really made that video work. Without it I think it wouldn't have been a good video or at least as good
You said exactly what i was thinking. IT WAS REALLY FUN.
Dan is such an amazing producer. I feel like WAN show now has some calm and soothing NPR vibes to compliment the chaos XD
NPR? Isn’t that that neoliberal radio station?
Hi Dan
@@feelincrispy7053 ?
@@feelincrispy7053with the very soft talking, yes
There couldn't be anyone better than Keith.
He played the negotiation role very well and in a very fun way which made it incredibly fun.
My wife, who is not tech interested, watched it all the way through with me and said "So is he the Rick Harrison of obsolete computer stuff"
@@thejunkman Exactly what I thought. It looks like hes hosting a tech focused pawnshop called Comp Star
@@thejunkman "The best I can do is $1 off"
I would love to see a deep dive into how old electronics are responsibly recycled. Getting an inside glimpse at the recycling companies and processes would be great and right in line with you company ideals
90% of it goes straight to land fills. its very rarely worth the effort to seperate the materials
@@bradhaines3142that could still be a cool video. See why it isn't worth it and what could be done to change that
Spoiler: they aren’t
They did do a video on the facility in Taiwan that harvested precious metals from e waste.
And at scale it is worth it. There's billions of dollars in it.
People pay you to take it, and you get precious metals.
@@ac.creations not smaller things. worth pennies, takes minutes to sort out. thus it ends up in land fills
I’d love to see a video in a year of that store and see how they’re doing
I'd love to see a scrapyard wars where they go to another shop and have to pick stuff out of the oldest stuff they have available.
Not knowing what happened before this & why they didn’t have pants on is an interesting experience
If that video can be done 4x a year across North America it would be one of the most epic series LTT would make.
Not only you’re helping a small business directly, but you’d also make good friends along the way.
Please make more of that because that was so wholesome.
That sounds absurdly expensive
120,000 a year isn't nothing, but it's also not break-the-bank expensive
They spend 24k CAD a year on snacks for the office’s, 120k for one year if this is a bargain.
Also, WAN Show nets around 40k CAD an episode and they do 52 of them on a normal year, 51 this year for……reasons
I saw people mention… this is how you bring back scrapyard wars….
They couldn’t buy from people because too many fans.
Maybe don’t pay 10x the amount but give more than they’d ever actually get for it.
@@Ben4Ai dont think the money will be the problem here lol
a follow-up with Keith in a month would be great
like a Kitchen Nightmare revisit lmao
That video was truly one of my all time LTT favourite videos. It had such a good vibe throughout - really great fun.
I loved it. I would love to see what the store is like again in a year's time. A follow-up of the new items they purchased.
YESSS. ABSOLUTELY THIS!
hopefully linus or the audience can advise what he should stock his store with
Or you can treat him as competent and not assume he's incapable of doing this himself? The acquisition of 20 years of detritus doesn't necessarily mean he needs his hands held running his own store...
Puts Keith on a Techlinked Just for the LOLs
I'm not even an Apple fan, but yes it would be sad and upsetting if you gutted that G4 Mac cube to build a PC in it.
But what if they sold the working parts and just used their case? I'm just curious what you think
It would be funny they put the new mac mini inside the g4 mac
@@Collin_Jthat still wouldn't be ideal, they're a pretty sought after collectors item and fairly rare already. We shouldn't be breaking up complete working examples for a random video
I LOVE what you did for that store buying all that stock and helping them out! I LOVE IT!!! We NEED more of this helping small businesses like that!
Make the sequel you guys! That'd be real fun! Milk it for all it's worth.
Dude that video was pretty wholesome and awesome.... I wanna know what his store gets stocked with or if he takes the ROI to retire as 80% of his storefront dedicated to old gear is vacant now.
Truly... a precious video.
You have a 3dprinter.. you can fabricate whatever you need to not destroy the cube while making a sleeper build
@@ZomPaulhaha most random reply - I blame UA-cam’s hopeless comments UI though because I assume this was meant as a response to a reply on another videos comment
@benwilliams1267 nah just commenting while watching and they were discussing the apple cube.. I see what you mean, bad habits lol
I said in the original video...the G4 cube is a steal! They're highly collectible.
Completely off topic: but low-key the video highlights the potential benefits of pedestrianisation. It short: it can lead to more money/people for locally-run independent stores, like the mum-and-pop store in the video. (This is inferred from Linus’ story about how he had to walk to the restaurant and saw the/similar store)
The autograph thing, you could just do it randomly for regular orders instead of it just being buying an autograph for the purpose of buying an autograph and just have a check box for anyone that wants just the item and no autograph chance at all
Forreal I was cracking up the whole time! Knew this one was gold. Damn! can't wait for the follow up
Should do a follow-up down the road. On what he ended up filling his shop with, and with the newer items, has he gotten more busy.
I feel like this was only the proto version of what could be a series. I think it would be better if instead of taking the gambling angle, it took a more "kitchen nightmares" vibe with linus coming in and buying everything and then helping them get stocked up with anything modern they would need or come up with systems that avoid that kind of thing happening again, like selling stuff at a discount or listing them on ebay after they hit a certain date past it's manufacturing. Although it wouldn't be like ltt to do the same thing over and over, I think there are plenty of ways to evolve the same idea of helping a small tech store.
G4 Cube is an industrial design masterpiece
That video is really one of the best in many directions. I hope there will be a good way to find a "home" for those stuffs.
i really did enjoy that episode. i used to work as a repair and on-site tech for a small shop like that. fortunately we were tied in with some big recyclers so it was easier for us to just get rid of that stuff, and we kept very very limited stock on stuff like what was in the video. if someone wanted something, we'd order it and we would handle any warranty that they might need on that product.
The one about Linus guessing how much he was hosed on the haul would be a fun CSF video
My only crit of that video was lack of a cohesive intro. It just started in this store without any explanation.
Could do an employee stress relief day with a "break room" for some of the really old stuff. Would be funny!
Signing stuff is gonna take you forever. Nice idea when there is only a handful of items.
Do a "The Price Is Right" episode, like you did "Deal or No Deal"
great addition to see the third guy, i always wondered how he looked like.
My absolute favorite video in a long time.
I have fantasized about doing something like that and save a business.
I mean I would buy in to see if I could end up with one of those laptops or a case :)
seriously thought even if he doesn't buy out the stores, would love to see a series of Linus going in and interviewing stores like this as there aren't many yet.
I worked in electronics recycling for 2 years and I've never seen a G4 cube. Tons of other vintage macs, but never the cube. That's a find tbh.
That was a great video! I wonder if you'd be able to show us how the plastic/hardware recycling process is?
5:35 I'm 50 and I've been in and out of the IT space since the early 90s and had a computer since I was in middle school so when the suggestion about asking the younger staff what some of the things were I too groaned like Linus but recognized the brilliance.
Favorite video you guys have put out in a year or two
I think it’s about time for a permanent 3rd host on the show. Maybe someone that can challenge Linus a little bit more. Feel it would make for a greater and more entertaining dynamic. Still love the show!
"no has more weight when its significant" if only Linus had been in charge of Brexit in the UK.
A couple more like this and you guys could buy out a microcenter. ! Keep it going
a working G4 Cube has sold for $450 by itself with no accessories 2 days ago on ebay
You guys should do another video with him
Release the haggling cut! Jokes aside, would be fun to have on LTT a video with you just haggling in the mom-and-pop store.
3:42 I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE I FEEL SO VINDICATED RIGHT NOW
12:06 Just throw them in your merch sales as random freebies 'while stocks last'. Assigned a number to each item (dont disclose), then for the next X amount of merch sales, you throw in 1 of the items.
We need more videos like it.
I wonder if the +100% roll was real or staged to help the owner. Even if it was staged, I still love that video.
8:40 ... I can't be absolutely sure, but I think I am watching this video on that exact Samsung monitor. certainly looks very similar if it isn't the exact model.
It was such a great video, and knowing the exclusives that you have up there, I'm sorely tempted to sign up to Floatplane just to watch them. Yet another sub for something that I'll barely watch though... hard to justify. But sooooooo tempting.
Id love to see a follow up in his store w/ his hopefully new stock haha
Check how much copper and gold you can get out of those components for upcycling
I figured this was going to be stock for the junkyard wars stuff
I’d watch the crap out of all of these follow up concepts if they came out one after another or heck post them every Friday until they’re done
That guess the price thing feels like a WAN Show segment.
I would totally watch follow up video's
You could use the stuff as part of the upcoming Scrapyard Wars - assign someone not building a PC to sell the parts, and the builders have to buy them. Maybe for items you know all the teams will want, hold an auction.
Take those ideas and make those videos! I really wanna watch it.
Yo Linus, if you want a for parts G4 cube to build a sleeper in I have one you can have for shipping (From OR, USA). I’d just love to see a retro review of the cube you have, particularly the opening mechanism which still makes me smile.
u can do many shorts of just 1 or 2 items linus trying to guess the ebay prices has that helps the algorithmics and might just be simpler and easier then main videos
you should do a time travel episode where you review old tech as if it was new, meanwhile future you in in a video window shaking your head at the lame tech throwing out insults
I would really really really recommend automatic cloud backups for your media. If it's Google photos or your own...
It really was a slapper of a video
it transported a great vibe :D
My favourite LTT Video.
A sleeper pc? That'd be so cool, it's been so long since you've made one.
This is giving me flashbacks of being 17 while working at a PC Club for minimum wage. Corporate would occasionally push products on us that we had no hope of selling. Sometimes we would build up a demo machine using oddware parts that have been on the shelf for years. One of the better ones was a socket-423 system with a 2 GHz Pentium 4 with RAMBUS memory, in a $400 case that was a powder coated monstrosity with large perforated panels. Best day on the job was the day someone actually wanted to buy the weird TV tuner card we had on the shelf for years. It was some weird security thing from someone like VisionTek or Hauppage (one of the higher end AV trash brands.)
Do a video about the G4 Cube! It's such a cool computer
I LOVE the G4 cube IDEA... but it wasn't great execution... I WISH they'd done better- and a sleeper in that case could be amazing!
I want to see you lot go all Office Space on that laptop.
Can confirm those Panasonic laptops are not indestructible. We had them in my auto tech college and a student was lowering a vehicle down from a car lift and didn't move the cart the laptop was on and the wheel of the car crushed the screen.
3:44 I email myself my thoughts too! 😄
I have to pick out my G4 cube from my storage. Did put a mini-itx pc in it for many years ago ..
G4 Cube Hackintosh
You could do a How indestructible is this laptop video then after have another video using parts from that haul and see if you'd be able to fix it.
i need a Cable that is like the one that goes into a Printer but its for my USB Ports on my Monitor
Definitely want a follow-up to see what Keith does to his store now :)
With your youngest employees, you could supply them with everything needed to build and install Windows XP machines, and the goal is for them to have a Unreal Tournament LAN party with the finished builds.
Scrapyard wars with just those part
I think you could do a sleeper without breaking it, just need to build a custom carrier that slides in like the original
15:07 g4 cube working condition are like 800~1000 USD BIN
How about doing a video about giving some of these items to popr people? Can be interesting
a video ideas is to tell him what to stock his shop with actual items that people want to buy
I've seen someone on youtube mod and G4 cube with a M1 mini internals.
Regarding the *random* sign merch, because of customs (like in Argentina for example) it would be nice to have a way of knowing what it is before its shipped to declare the item category in customs. if i get a cable thats no issue but a graphics card or monitor is never getting through. And never for 25 dollars, if the price is too low the figure is to avoid taxes. Here you are obligated to tell what is the item category and the price in order to get what you bought, otherwise you lost it.
I'd instantly buy the onesie if shipping to Europe wasn't so damn expensive
i would like a pc in a car video for the passengers to chill
Do a sleeper build, but only with stuff from the store
You should do something like your old junk yard wars but like maybe who can build the oldest working computer with stuff from stores like that.
do a scrapyard wars using only the stuff you got from the mom and pop store
Top Gear's indestructible Toyota Hilux series was good, now lets see
LTT's indestructible Panadonic Toughbook series
Disappeared and came back out making beast style videos
What’s the story behind the epic cool onesie?
♥ Onesie Idea! Bought one!
Mashup idea: building a PC with younger staff members each doing 1 part
hey you bought a smart card reader from keith, any shot i could buy it from y’all?
do an E-recycling video! recycle all the worst stuff as completely as possible, remelt the metals and scavenge all the components, shred and make a new PCB out of the fibres!
You can use those old tech and turn it to a museum for kids telling them yeah we use to do computing like these before you are born.
Is there no security camera footage that captured the moment that's trapped in the broken phone?
For the G4 cube. How about a video where they try to fabricate a replica with a sleeper PC inside or a modern day m2 system.
I fainted in the dr office with the swine flu after getting a shot too. lol
Might be a good idea to double-check with legal if the gambling thing doesn't need some permits or whatever to avoid you guys getting intro trouble; gambling is heavily regulated in some places, sometimes in some unexpectedly ways...
Here's an idea. Try some sort of pimp my ride video where a person gets a ton of tech in their vehicle
