The 7000 usd one, most if not everything designer in it is fake

Hahahahaha no shit? That's amazing.

@NoReturn is secretly a youtube shill trying to get me to watch all the unboxing videos.

I'm on to you, catman.

It's all over in the comments, I couldn't watch the whole thing. It was just too painful, the secondhand embarrassment

The thumbnails all annoy me beyond reason.

There are some people who do this kind of thing professionally and do make good money but based on the thumbnails, I'm guessing none of these people fall into that category.

To think that this is the end result of me abusing Amazon returns as a “free trial”…

Out of curiosity, I watched the authentication video for the second video, and the girl did come out ahead, but there were a fuck ton of fakes mixed in.

Personally, I feel like she just got lucky. I don't really like sites where they've clearly sorted the unidentified boxes into different categories. To me, that seems a little bit scammy.

It is basically an irl mystery/loot box. People spend a lot of money for the chance to maybe get something they want or can flip. You get excited by the good stuff you find and which is how these things get you.

Yeah, when this stuff got started off it was basically an internet version of what used to happen a lot out in the country where someone would let you keep anything you found in a storage shed or warehouse so long as you completely cleared it out. This is more like the mystery box shit.

I find it mildly amusing that the far right of her room has no FNAF merch and is instead a bookshelf for manga.

Serious question: Why do people like RBG? She did literally nothing good during her entire time in the Supreme Court.

She was a literal who judge who was only known for people joking about her having a three part name. But somewhere along the way, around the early 2010s, the media decided to make her a rock superstar with bullshit like "The Notorious RBG" and crap like that to pander to her ego and make her a huge name; presumably because the media and Obama's people realized that NO ONE knew the names of or gave a fuck about any of the liberal judges on the court while Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas were all household names. So they decided to make Ruth a meme so that the Democrats could have ONE Supreme Court Justice who could ilicit the same sort of pop cultural awareness as Thomas.

There are a few FNAF figures on the lower shelf, in front of all the manga she doesn't read.

I always wondered how often book hoarders actually re-read their hoard, if they even read all the books at all. I've ran into quite a few and it's considered the "acceptable" type of hoarding because books = smart.

It really depends. I know two people who never ever part with a book once they acquire it.

One is extremely discerning about what goes on his shelf and he rereads his books regularly. The other just accumulates everything and while she does buy a lot of books for herself and read them, she also won't refuse any book that others give her and often ends up with random boxes of crap from people cleaning off their own bookshelves. She used to be a voracious reader but has become disabled in the past couple of years to the point she needs people to read to her because she can't see the print anymore when she studies.

Me, I read all my books, and I either keep them to read again or shuffle them along to new owners. It's just that sometimes the 'too read' pile and the 'keep piles' get out of hand and need firm pruning.

Aw, that second one is sad. I knew an elderly lady like that. She ended up turning her hoard into a used book store as a hobby. She never had to pay for new stock because people just donated to her. It was kind of neat.

If she's in the US there's a program she can get on to get free audiobooks. I'm pretty sure it's called books for the blind. They send you a player and everything. It's not just for blind people, the person I know who was on it had tardive dyskensia bad enough he could barely hold anything.

The only channel that actual put out good videos for those amazon returns was Cowchop (rip) because they knew it'd all be garbage and it was just an excuse for pure chaos.

I used to like iDubbs' unboxing videos for the same reason but those weren't exactly Amazon packages.
