Hi, my name is Akilah and I'm here with I'm Avery, I'm Andrew, and we are the A-team. Today, the A-team is going to be taking on media literacy. We're going to be talking about remakes and sequels and how we're feeling about them. Let's get started.  With the first question, we want to answer this question and see which films do we want to binge to get ourselves ready for new and up-and-coming remakes. I guess you can go first, Avery, if you want to. This one's not necessarily a remake, but recently for, what was it, Halloween ends. I watched the original one, Halloween 2018, and then Halloween kills all back-to-back, like right before going to the theaters, at the point where I was on a time crunch and I had it blaring while I was showering and playing in the car on the way of theater. I was not driving to clarify. Safety first. Yes. That's one that comes to mind recently, definitely making a tradition of watching all the screen movies back-to-back in preparation for the new sequel, but as we keep adding up, it becomes more and more of a task. Now it's like six movies back-to-back. More dedication. That is a lot of dedication. Yeah, that's what I can think of recently for me. How about? Yeah, I would say I definitely want to re-watch the original Beetlejuice because I feel like now that they're trying to remake or do a sequel to the movie, I feel like I need to refresh myself. That's really cool. I think I'm definitely going to re-watch the Barbie movie, the OG Barbie movie with Tyra Banks before I go see Barbie on Friday. I didn't know that there was an original Barbie movie. Yeah, the OG Barbie, yes. Well, it's called Life-Sized, but it's with Tyra Banks and I think, don't quote me, Lindsay Lohan, and Tyra Banks is a Barbie that comes to life. It's a great movie, great film. So I'm going to watch that before I go and watch the Barbie, Barbie Hammer. I'm seeing it Monday, so definitely let me know your thoughts next week. Yes, of course. We can do a little chat. Yeah, I'm not going to watch it, so I just want to live vicariously through y'all. That's fair. Okay. You're seeing Open Hammer? No, no. I'm not watching any of that. I'm seeing both packed back.  Yes, yeah. So the second question is, what is the second question? Do you have any brand loyalties when it comes to movies? Brand loyalties. So here's my thing. I love movies, but I don't know anything which might be problematic about the actual studios that produce them. So I can name three movies, and I wouldn't know if Paramount, Disney, I can name a Disney movie, or whoever else made them. So I don't think I have a brand loyalty to any production studio necessarily, but I do love Disney. Like, I mean, how can you not like Disney? I feel like they kind of have like a little conglomerate in our brains or something because I don't think you can kind of experience this life without at least a knowing of or a reference to some Disney movie. Some property you can't avoid. Yeah, you can't avoid it. So, like a true, I don't think I can show that, Apple Girlie brand stuff. But like a true Apple Girlie, I'm also a Disney girlie. Walt Disney would be proud. Yes. And Walt Disney we trust. What about you guys? My only brand loyalty, I guess, coming up, I watched a lot of Cartoon Network. I love Cartoon Network. So, yeah. And my family is like a Disney family. Like, my older sister worked at Disney. So, yeah, we consumed a lot of Disney content. Not by choice, but, you know, you just got to do what the family does. So, yeah. But Cartoon Network is my, like, one and only love. Yeah. Favorite show from Cartoon Network? Texas Laboratory. The Solid Choice, yes. Oh, yeah. For me, I don't have, like, brands in, like, specific... Watch me a little bit. When I say, like, Paramount, would that be a studio? Yeah, production studio. I don't have, like, a favorite studio or... Okay, that's kind of a lie. We'll get back to that. I don't necessarily have a favorite studio. I have some directors that I'll, like, follow their projects and definitely excited for, for example, Robert Eggers, the guy who made The Witch, The Lighthouse, and most recently, The Northman. Yeah, that looked intense. I wanted to watch The Northman. Maybe I will now. I would highly recommend it. There are, like, certain horror IPs. The one studio that pretty much any movie with their, like, brands slapped onto it, I'll be intrigued by is A24, absolutely. Like, very solid movies. But, yeah.  You don't see these shades. He'll look like he hard-bodied. V-Bruh, yeah. The shades just give me, like, ray vibes. Like... Hello? Excuse me? Ray? Ray Charles. I know who you're talking about. I just wanted to know who you are. You know who you're talking about. That is so insane. That man is blind. Please. It gives me too cool for school more than anything. You know, like... Stop talking about your shades. Like, movies. Avery, you have some questions for us? Sure. First, what do you think makes a sequel or remake, like, worth existing, I guess, to be one? I feel like that definitely is, like, a very good question. And I think it's, like, a few things. I feel like the social impact is probably, like, the highest on that list, though. Because even in the case of, like, again, the original screen movie, or even the original Lion King, how there was a societal impact that happened, like, when those movies dropped. Some type of curve, some type of, I don't know the word, but little divot into how, like, we interact with each other or just social norms in general. Something like that definitely tops that, like, the sequel should be as impactful or should hope to be as impactful as the original film. I would also say that the cast definitely plays a part in it because their chemistry obviously makes the movie. So I would hope that if they don't recast the same people that they would be able to recast people that have a similar or as an inviting, you know, propelling energy. I feel like those are the main two, though. Like, how is it going to impact us? Because that's why the movie's being released.  Okay. How about you? Yeah, I feel like it's a really good question, especially because some of these remakes coming out, and I'd be like, who asked this? That's real. Texas Chainsaw Mask. That's a good example. But, yeah, I feel like most of the time, the audience that's, like, digesting the remakes would, like, die hard fans. And, like, they would definitely, like, become part of the box office numbers. I don't know if, like, I myself would be one of those people, but because most of the time I feel like remakes just, like, drum up the energy of the past and, like, which is not a bad thing, but it's just, you know, I'm always looking for, like, the new, what's new about this remake? Like, what is new, like, about this movie that's going to be different than the last movie? So, yeah. I don't know if that's the answer. Nothing. But, I don't know. What about you, Avery? For me, I'm going to use, like, Scream, the 22 sequel and Scream 6 as examples. Very vaguely. So, if anyone hasn't seen it, it doesn't matter. I feel like if it, like, ups the ante, switch things up, keeps it engaging, and it's, like, not repeating. Basically, like, if it shows, they like to be blunt, gave a damn about making the movie and not just about making money. You know, like... Or just, like, making the same movie again. In a different font. Yeah. Like, if anyone here has seen Scream 6, you know what I mean. That definitely ups the ante and changes things. Yeah. Yeah. I think one movie I could definitely uplift is, like, The Mask. Have you all seen that one? The Jim Carrey one? Yeah. Like, that one, the original, perfect. Like, beautiful. The Mask 2? I don't know what they were doing. Like, what? Like, why? Like, don't even... Yeah. But, yeah. There are definitely some sequels that we just don't talk about. I feel that way about, like, maybe y'all haven't seen this. But Mean Girls, the original, the original Mean Girls with Lindsey Lohan was, like, really good. Like, that was, like, a solid movie. And then the second one came out and it was kind of what she was saying. The remake, the same movie in a different font. And it just didn't work because it's, like, a one-hit wonder.  If it hits, then it hits. But if it doesn't, then you kind of just get lost. Right. In the shine of the other one. Yeah. Lost in the sauce. Basically. I will say one more thing I would want to, like, I want to add on before getting to the second question is... How do I phrase this? How do you phrase this? This is kind of repeating the same thing, but also not. For example, the Texas Chainsaw Mask or, like, Netflix sequel, if anyone's seen that. Like, Netflix Produced It? Yes. Okay. I don't know why that exists and all the characters are very unlikable. Like, TLDR, it's basically, like, these teens come into this, like, abandoned town where a leather face used to live to literally, like, gentrify it and buy it out. And that's the plot.  It's a horror movie. No spoilers. It's a horror movie. But, uh, yeah, just the way they do it, makes it so the characters are very unlikable. And also, I'm all for having, like, messages in movies if they're done right. But for whatever reason, this one has, like... I won't get into detail just... But it has a message that tries to, like, cram down your throat that goes nowhere, really, besides... plot convenience, let's just say. I can definitely understand that because I feel like some sequels are just there to make, like, statements more so than it is to, like, continue the craft of what the movie was initially about. Or, like, again, like, the nuance that it might have brought. But they're just trying to make a statement that doesn't really go with what the film is. But they know that they can. They can milk it because they have a fan base. Like, you were kind of saying, Andrew. Yeah. And it's, like, timing, too, right? Because, like, if the fan base is, like, like, getting older, there might not be much, like, will for a new remake, and then someone will remake the movie. And it's just, like, no. We didn't ask for this. But I don't know. Or it could be the exact opposite, where, like, fans are starved for a new sequel, like, my God, someone make a new Friday of 13th. I'm begging you. And they're like, no. Solve the legal issues, please. You had another question for us? Yeah. I'm trying between... Okay. How soon is... How many questions did you have on? Not too much. Just this one. How soon is too soon to remake, like, to remake a movie? For example, this isn't, like, necessarily movie-related, but there was a game called The Last of Us Part II, which released in 2020. And allegedly, they're already... Let's get into it. Not remaking it, but you have feelings about it? I have feelings, so do I. But we would be here for probably two hours minimum, if I talk about it. Anytime they do the adaptation from, like, video games to, like, live-action movies, I just feel like it goes wrong, like, every time. I just don't. Like, even when they do, like, adaptations, when they did the... I mean, this is not, like, the same, but when they did, like, the live-action bleach adaptation, I was like, no. I did not like that. I was not a fan. No, and then they came out with The Last Season of Bleach, which I was just like, yes, we need that. But the live-action? No. Like, I didn't watch it. I think I put it on in the first 20 minutes, so I was like, turn it off. Just turn it off. But, I mean, what do you think? I mean, I can't, like, attest to The Last of Us. I don't know if it's the same as The Show, The Last of Us. I like that show. One thing can I finish what I was saying about that, by the way. So, yeah, what made me think of this question in the first place was they made The Last of Us Part II the game, not the show. And allegedly, a composer leak, they're already not remaking, but remastering the game, and it's been like, under three years since it came out. And it's like, I don't feel like that needs to exist personally, and that's what kind of made me start thinking about this. So, what are your thoughts on that with media? Yeah, because you were initially asking about, like, how soon Yeah, how soon is too soon? I feel like it depends because I think that the same thing happened, like, with the Avatar movies, the Blue People, not the Airbender. Thank you for the clarification. Yeah, I had to make sure. I had to make sure. Because I think that after they made the second one, whatever, in the water, way of the water, yeah. They said that they were already working on the third one. But I feel like the difference, or like the timeframe between the first Avatar and this one was like, almost 10 years. So them confirming that they're making a second one doesn't mean that we're going to get it immediately. And I think also because of how long it was, I'm not saying people expected a faster turnaround, but I think they wouldn't be upset with one because of how long it took. I feel like the same thing can be said for, like, albums and, like, music when artists withhold music for, like, years. It's just like, hey, we might have got a single, we might have got a feature, but, like, where's the meat? Where's... We need the good stuff. The market has demands. Yeah, we do. The people have demands. So... But I don't know. I think that... I think it does depend on how long it takes to, like, produce the new thing and when it's actually going to come out, legal issues maybe. But also there has to be I feel like a year at least before anything is confirmed or denied like, kind of maybe needs to happen because you have to let it simmer. You have to let what you just produced like, settle into the public and see how people feel, how it ages. Because what somebody might want right after the movie might not be what they want a year later. People's, you know, needs change. That's my spill. Cool. What do you think? I don't know. I just feel like things get produced faster and faster nowadays. So, I definitely feel what you're saying. Like, we want, like, a faster turnaround. Sometimes. Sometimes. I myself feel like a faster turnaround. I feel like that just depends on, like, who's doing it. And, like, is the production team fans of the property that they're working on. Which, you know, it depends. So, yeah. What about you, Avery? Um, I feel like it's a double-edged sword. To use, like, Marvel, for example, they're coming out with a new movie, like what, every month or something? Yeah, I'm supposed to say that. Along with, like, a new show. But, and, like, full-school is where I've not really kept up with stuff since Endgame, besides Spider-Man and the recent Guardians of the Galaxy. But, um, it's just because it's, like, too much. They have, like, six shows. Who knows how many movies. You have to watch the show as minimum to understand, like, two of the characters in one of the recent movies, I think, that they're really saying. That just sounds like bad writing to me. It should be, like, understandable. Yeah. Um, but, also at the same time, like, let's say Scream. I'm so excited for Scream 7. Oh, right. It comes out. Um, but also, take your time. Crush it. Make sure it's a good, uh, product. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's all, like, our collective concern is, like, make sure it's a good product. If you're gonna remake it. Make sure it's good. Yeah. That's well. I guess, like, along the lines of how impactful these films are to us and enough for us to care. I mean, at the very least, I have a question for you guys about how these films have maybe made you look at yourself or life differently in any way, whether it be the original film or the prequel. Um, maybe all of the movies as a whole. Just, like, anything that you've pulled from them that you may use, not even in your day to day, but just overall. Um, I've definitely pulled, like, multiple quotes from the movies that I've watched. Nothing's coming to mind right now, but, um, like, I mean, I feel like it's inspiring to, like, see someone deliver a line and it's like, wow, that just hit, like, and I'ma say that school tomorrow. Same energy, yeah. Like, I don't know. Which I think. I mean, it doesn't have to be a line necessarily, even, or either, but just more so a theme. Like, I mean, I don't know if I can say this, but we can talk about, like, the theme of Marvel and military propaganda. So, like, the themes in the movie, you know, and you may not look at Spider-Man and see military propaganda, but you may just see somebody inspiring, and we all know, like, little kids have an aspiration to be a superhero, but, like, you as an adult, you know, as somebody that is maybe less imaginative and more cognizant.  Or if you take any of them at all? Avery? Okay. Um, my brain's blanking help. I mean, I just, I would say that, like, every movie that I watch, I aspire to watch again, just to see something different in it, like, the second time or, like, the third time around. I don't know. I try to watch the background characters and, like, see if I could, like, pick out, like, little details here and there. I don't know if I'm, like, I would take that with me in, like, real life because it's a movie, but I don't know. Yeah. For me, it's a bit harder to think of stuff because, so I'm mainly a horror fan, and, uh, I'm not really trying to take the messages from Scream and apply those to my real life. You know. That's real. Um, I don't know if I would just, sometimes, like, a really good movie just has an impact on me, which, like, I can't describe, but just... It just sticks with me, you know? I definitely feel like I have, like, um, childhood movies that, like, have stuck with me. Um, one of them, which is, like, what kind of inspired me to do anything related to, like, visual art is Kirkland. It's a Spike Lee film. And, every message that I got from that film, like, as a little, as, like, a little person, um, is still is so present today. Um, I think just because it was, like, a really wholesome movie, though, you know, kind of sad, but it was a wholesome movie. So, thinking about that, thinking about how, um, this character was, like, the first character that I've seen that was, like, anywhere parallel to my actual life, about it just being a movie, but art imitates life, you know? Or whichever way you want to put it. Um, so, seeing actual things that are not, maybe not superhero or, like, bloody murder, but seeing, like, some aspect of real life in a movie, knowing that it's a movie, is, like, wow. Like, maybe this just made me think about things a little bit differently.   Like, that stays in my head incessantly. So, that's, you know, the tidbit that I pulled from a movie. Um, but, yeah, that's what I think about. Cool. I guess my other question is still along the same lines. Um, but how has your perception of, like, enjoying a movie when you were younger changed from when you were older? Like, um, I guess my thinking about, like, Pocahontas as a child and, like, how enjoyable it was versus enjoying it now. Like, how has your perception changed? Um, this question is very good because I just watched one of my favorite movies that I haven't watched in a long time called Kung Fu Hustle. I recommend it. It's very funny. But, um, yeah, watching that movie made me realize that, like, when I was younger, I was too obsessed into, like, martial arts. Like, in a very, like, comical way. Like, if you learn martial arts, you solve your world problems. Like, you know, all your issues would go away. And, like, um, I think now, since seeing it, like, recently, I think that, yeah, I don't know where my mind was, but, you know, that was, like, how many years ago. And, like, yeah, I don't think it was, like, very impactful to me other than being a good laugh because, you know, I love a good laugh. It was, it's a comedy, and, like, I feel like comedies definitely are, like, hold a special place in my heart because they translate so many ideas and, like, principles at the same time. So, yeah, I mean, it just reaffirmed like, those principles in, like, my mind. But, like, yeah, Kung Fu Hustle, I recommend it. Is that your movie? Um, I couldn't really name, like, one in specific, but in general, um, I find it's either one of two paths, either one filled with nostalgia, maybe you get emotional, you have a good time.  Um, for example, if anyone's seen this, uh, Ace Ventura Pet Detective, if you haven't seen it in recent time, my god, rewatch it, it's aged terrifically. Um, and I should not have seen it when I did. Um, but, yeah, that, uh, yeah, also I did think of a movie that recently had an impact on me across the Spider-Verse. Across? It was a very good movie. I feel like, um, I don't know if I have, like, a specific movie. Um, um, actually speaking of Mean Girls earlier, watching Mean Girls Now versus watching it when I was 12 is interesting to say the least. Um, I feel like, like, like you were saying, Andrew, sometimes when we're children, like, we have this idea that, like, if we anchor into this one thing or do this one thing that it's gonna change everything. And I feel like, as adults, there's just a nuance in that that, like, you can do one thing and it changes a lot of things, but it might not be learning kung fu. And it might not be wearing the right clothes or speaking the right way, whatever it is. Saying the right things. Exactly, doing the right things.  I know all the words. And then it's like, hold on, like, why was I allowed to, like, let these things or these themes or these ideas, like, roam free in my brain? Um, that's such a tender age. Right. So, that's gonna be it for our show. How did you, how you guys feel? How y'all feeling? I'm good. I'm ready to go watch a movie. Ah! You, you ought to ate that one thing. What movie? Which one? You should watch Barbie. Barney? No, Barbie. You should watch Barbie. Yeah, go to the theater right after this. Come watch Barbie with us. Ah, I can't. I can't watch that movie. I'm sorry. Well, Andrew won't be watching Barbie. Nope. Avery is a Barbie-heimer. And I'll be watching Barbie. We'll give you a review when we see you next week. This is the A-Team. I'm Akilah. I'm Avery. I'm Andrew. And this was our dig into media literacy. Hope you guys enjoyed it.


Okay, Bolo Buddies, I just left the Goodwill Benz and I spent the most I have ever spent. I spent $111. I'm hoping that I can make my money back with a couple of those items. So let's get digging. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Okay, we are here at the Goodwill Benz. I love it. I am gonna be bringing you guys more and more and more of these videos. So let me know what you think. So what I do is I go to the Goodwill Benz, I come home, I list everything. That way I can keep this educational and pop up screen shares for you guys of how I listed everything. Now, I spent over $100 during this trip and the footage, I had so much footage. So this is gonna be broken into two separate videos. So everything you see is just part of that 100 and whatever I said at the beginning, $11 or something like that, dollars that I spent.  The one I found, I just thought was super cute. I've got it priced a little bit high. I also found the Plush Dog, which was an advertising piece and it had pretty good comps. So definitely excited about those two plush right out the gate. So how I list things, I've talked to you guys about this before, but if you're new to my channel, I start by comping the item and I will list on the higher end of solds. And then I create a sale, usually around 35, 35% is, I like to be at 35%, but I have been doing some 38% to try to move things. And then I put best offer on my items and I send out offers. So I am constantly doing things to engage my customers.  So so far I've just found cute little plush items, but plush does sell. One thing that I do wanna mention about plush items, typically they can be long tail. What does long tail mean? It means that it can take a while to sell. I am a list it and forget it kinda girl. I list so many items that I just give them one item number, throw them in a tote and I forget about them. And that best offer keeps people coming in and making the offers and those items sell. I have items from when I used to sell clothing that I had multi-quantity. I have some items I would have 50 or 60 of just one item. I'm still selling those items today and those items have been listed for 10 years, some of them. But I've had so many of them that I still have some left. So like I said, list it and forget it. That is not for everyone. I know some people after so long they get rid of it. I did find that little plush. That is a Disney store plush. It's from Doc McStuffins. And later on you're gonna see that I find the snowman. So I decided to lot those together because I felt like that's gonna bring in maybe a different buyer and maybe an advantage for me. This is a little Ikea squirrel and I don't normally pick up those Lego plates but I was like, I'm just gonna try this. It's a five by five. Somebody may need this as a replacement part. So I'm gonna see if I can sell that Lego plate. That will also probably be a long tail item. We all like fast sales but I will tell you that every day when I sell things some of my long tail items are selling and those items all add up. Okay, I did find another Ikea frog. Now, how did I figure this out? I used Google Lens. I was not sure what those were. The tags had been cut off and if you don't know the Ikea tags are super long so to be expected that those are gonna be cut off and probably the person buying it is not gonna care because they would probably cut those tags off as well but for identification purposes the only way I was gonna figure that out was Google Lens and I do have a tutorial video on how to use Google Lens. It is free. You can download Google Lens to your phone for free and take pictures of items and it will pull them up for you.  Okay, we are gonna keep digging here. If you guys like these types of videos I have a whole bunch on my channel and plan to bring you more. Right here, beat the clock.  I am hoping that I paid book weight but I honestly cannot remember. I thought these were really cool. I thought they'd be a great homeschooling item and the rebel reseller talks about buying homeschooling items all the time and she does really well with them. I have not listed these yet. They need batteries and I need to test them and I've just been kind of lazy about it and to be quite honest with you I don't know where I put them. So they're sitting maybe in my garage. I don't know, there was a big stack of them so I just kind of throw them to the side. Now if you see me pick something up and throw it in my cart and then you do not see a screenshot that means I threw the item back in. A lot of times I am just quick looking, quick digging and throwing things in my cart and then I will look things up. A lot of times I forget to look things up and they come home with me. That was a little Starbucks bear. I don't know why I didn't end up picking that up because some of the Starbucks bears do okay. Mostly bread and butter. What you're looking for are some of the Starbucks mugs. Go into eBay Sold's and search high to low Starbucks mugs. It's amazing what some can go for. I did pick up that little headlight, that dinosaur headlight, thought it was super cute and I grabbed this rattle. This rattle I feel like could be something that somebody is like a child is gonna lose and a parent is gonna need that item. So it's a bread and butter bolo but I feel like eventually it will sell to the right person and that person is gonna be so happy that I had that item. There's a lot of items where I get messages from parents saying oh my goodness my child lost this. I am so thankful that you had it. So as Donna Telebotilino always says someone is looking for this. So if you're new here you probably don't know who Donna Telebotilino is. She has a YouTube channel and she has selling events. So she sells to resellers and I purchase from her often. So if you watch my what sold videos or my unboxing videos, whenever I buy something from her YouTube selling event, either a mystery box or a reseller box that she's selling on her channel, I will do unboxings on this channel and I also buy from Auctions for you. I'll link those both down below if you guys are looking for inventory. It's a great way to source from the comfort of your home. I did pick up that plush bear. Cute little bear. Again, just another bread and butter. Plush mostly is gonna be bread and butter but I pulled a plush out of the bins not too long ago and I sold it for, I'm gonna show you a picture here. A best offer of $64. So that was incredible. This little pig, these are from Olivia Pig. That was a ballerina and there was also a painter there. I find the painter later. A lot of times I will lot stuffed animals or different toys together just to kind of get different eyes on my items. So somebody that's searching for maybe the ballerina, they're gonna see my listing and be like, oh, I can get two for this price and then they'll end up buying mine instead. Not always the case, but definitely gives me a little bit of an advantage when the market is flooded with a particular item. So just a little tip there. And I believe I got that stuffed animal from the bins collaboration video that I did with Dad Planet. If you guys are not following Dad Planet, definitely go over and give him a sub. And I did buy this little, it goes to like a fairy garden or something like that. Anything that's new in the package, I usually pick those items up because people look for them and they like that they're new. So even new old stock retired discontinued items. This is a V-Tech plush. It's just gonna be a bread and butter. It will probably be very long tail, but it's $1.89 a pound at my Goodwill bins. So that thing probably cost me 50 cents. It was very, very lightweight. Okay, so I mentioned Dad Planet. This is the last collaboration video we did. His video is on the top, mine is on the bottom. Definitely go check out both of those. He found, I don't even wanna talk about it, the most incredible item. I'm like, how did he find that? And I did pretty good myself, but definitely check those out. I will try to remember to link them down below, but you can just also go over to Dad Planet's channel. And of course, you can search Goodwill Bins using my search bar to find that item as well. All right, we are gonna keep digging here. Let me know, do you like the bins? Do you feel like you get good deals? Okay, this is a Lovie, and I always pick up Lovies. And I have told you guys before that if you wanna learn about all things plush, go see the Rebel reseller. She actually has a video on Lovies, the best Lovies to look for, the ones that sell for the most money. I'll tell you, YouTube is knowledge. If you guys throw these videos on while you work and instead of watching TV, you are gonna learn so much and it's gonna help you in your business. This Frisbee, it is a sport disc. And I actually reached out to Yard Sales and Dreams for some guidance on that. Definitely go and check out her channel. She has reseller content that is fantastic, and she is definitely a Bolo finder. You will learn so much from her. All right, we're gonna keep on digging. Look at all these hangers. Has anybody bought hangers from the Goodwill Bins? There's another Frisbee, I did not get that one. A lot of times it depends on what it says on the actual Frisbee, some of that advertising and if the Frisbee is vintage. I did pick up dinosaurs. Anything that is marked Jurassic World has that little mark on the foot. I am gonna pick those up. Okay, so these right here, this is vintage wallpaper. And I did put this in my cart. It wasn't in the greatest condition or I probably would have asked if they would have given me a price for those items. Because it's a heavy item, they will sometimes work with you on the price. And they probably just wanted to get rid of that and save it from the landfill. But $1.89 a pound, that would have cost me more than I would have wanted to pay. But because the condition was not that great, I left it behind. Do you guys think that was a mistake? I know vintage wallpaper, especially that textured stuff. People are going for a certain look in their home and they can't buy that stuff anymore. So some of it can be big money.  Noelle also has an amazing YouTube channel and she sells some really weird stuff. I think I sell weird stuff but she also sells really weird stuff. She was actually posted in my last Goodwill Bens video that she was upset with me, not really upset with me but she's like, why didn't you grab the Tupperware? She loves selling vintage Tupperware items and she does really well with it. And one thing she talks about is people pricing Tupperware too low and that she keeps her items priced high and they sell. So check her out for more reseller tips. All right. And she does have a video on Tupperware. Check this out you guys, talk about selling weird items. That guy right there, he was missing his foot. He was missing body parts and I put him up for parts or repair and he sold so fast. Obviously if he would have been complete, he probably would have been a Bolo. Speaking of Bolo's right here, you got Larry the VeggieTales, anything VeggieTales. Definitely a pickup. I sold that guy for $42 and some change and he sold pretty quickly. He did talk, he was pretty cool. So that was Larry Boy from VeggieTales. Again, if I see VeggieTales, it is going in my cart.  A plush, if it's VeggieTales, I'm getting it. This is another Boyd's Bear. I thought this one was adorable because it was holding the little elephant. So I did grab that one. Remote controls, you guys have heard me talk about those before. I actually found two identical ones. I used Google Lens to figure out which toy that went to. I put batteries in it, I make sure the light comes on and that's really the best way you can test it if you don't have the actual item. So far I haven't had any problems with that. Here's the snowman that I, the Doc McStuffin snowman that I put with the little dragon earlier in the video. I don't know, should I got that silly little guy? Is that a pantyhose thing? I can't tell, it kind of looks like it. So people make crafts out of pantyhose and some of the vintage items can do very, very well. The vintage Christmas especially. I think that's a caboodle. I probably should have got that. I don't know why I left it behind. I have picked up caboodles at the Benz before, maybe I just wasn't in the mood. But yeah, I left it behind for some reason. Some of those can do really well. I think the market used to be better for those. They're kind of, you can't get as much now for them but that's kind of with everything. Certain things are trending at certain times. That's why you definitely want to look everything up. Even if you see it in a video where somebody else sold the item for big money, if it's a month later, that item may not be trending. You don't know how many items have been trending because of a TikTok video or something like that and they are going for big money and then all of a sudden, the market kind of goes down on those items. Typically they still stay in the Bolo range but definitely keep that in mind. I don't know what that shoe was. I don't know if that was an 18 inch doll or not. I do pick up typically any 18 inch doll shoes. This is a forever collectible hot dog plush and I showed you a Mercari listing for that and what I do on Mercari is I offer free shipping. If eBay is flooded, a lot of times those items are gonna do better on Poshmark and Mercari. What I do is I start my items on eBay and then I cross-post with List Perfectly to Mercari and Poshmark and I do have a video down in the description that shows you how to use List Perfectly. It's a tutorial, I walk you through it. I actually show you how to use the catalog which is an amazing feature that I do not use and then I show you how I do it as well.  But what I always say is items that are flooded on eBay. So let's say there's 200 of them on eBay, Mercari and Poshmark are smaller platforms and there may only be 20 or five or 10. So it's yes less eyes on your items because the platforms are not as big but your item may sell quicker over there. I have had items that I've had listed on eBay and then I put them over onto the other platforms with List Perfectly and they sell really quickly because for that very reason. Another reason is, oh, there's a Bubba Keg. Noel Farm Girl Scavenger just sold one of those, I think in the $30 range, but that one didn't have a lid so I left it behind. But another thing I say about cross posting on Mercari and on Poshmark, your money goes into like a little bank and then you can use that money to buy things or you can transfer it to your bank account. So a lot of times people that are selling on those platforms are hobby resellers. Some of them are only doing it for money to shop. So they're gonna use that money and spend it on that platform. So they may end up buying something from you because they have a credit to buy. Does that make sense? They're not even gonna look on eBay to see if it's cheaper or check other platforms. They're just gonna buy it from you. All right, this little Ernie here, he's parachute material. I got really excited about him. I thought he was gonna be big money because some of those parachute items, that parachute nylon material items, puff of lumps in particular can do really well. He did not comp out high, unfortunately. I did grab that baby blanket again, talking about items that are in new, new in the packaging. Both of those last two items I picked up, that's why I grabbed them because they're new old stock or just new original packaging. So easy to list, most of them have a barcode, snap a few pictures and you are ready to go. All right, we are looking here, found some plush. A lot of these items I did throw back. I do check out things like this. Really, I'm just looking for anything that looks vintage. I did not see anything in that that looked like your standard, like just pack of children's cheap, not really cheap, but you know what I'm saying. Every day items, nothing vintage or high dollar, no big money bolos. I'm not gonna be able to sell those. However, I have seen people sell used crayons on eBay. Anybody ever sold used crayons? I know Rachel Strickland is really good at selling used pencils. All right, let's check this out here. I did not buy the bear. I pulled the sound box out of the bear and I sold that. I looked up comps on that, it's a Dex bear. Comps were not that great, but I knew that I could sell the sound box as a replacement item. I figured I was gonna get it home and it was not gonna work because I figured that's why it was at the Benz. But I got it home, checked it and it actually worked. So it just had to put a battery in it. That sold really quickly for, I believe it was the best offer of $10. So back to talking about Rachel Strickland selling these pencils. Let me see if I can grab you guys a video real quick. When you see a bag or mixed lot of pencils at a thrift store or yard sale, definitely pick those up. I picked up an entire Ziploc bag of pens and pencils for $1.50. These mechanical pencils were among several others in there. And guys, these two used mechanical pencils and lead just sold on eBay for $20 plus shipping. Two sets of these were in that bag among 18 karat gold cross pens and vintage wooden pencils. Pick up pencils. I learned so much from other resellers in this community and I love shouting out other channels that I learned from. So everybody that I have shouted out in this video will be linked down below. I encourage you guys to go and subscribe to their channels and definitely check out some of their videos. They are all incredible people. Right here, Dad Planet sells those things all the time and he can just keep on selling them. But they can bring in big money. Are they croquet sets? I think that's what they're called. Me personally, I don't wanna ship those things but I remember seeing in multiple videos where he has sold those on several occasions. So check him out for more reseller tips on selling big and heavy items, things that I run from. So I don't like finding a box, I don't like shipping them but some people, they are really good at that type of thing. I think there's one video he has where it was like a little tykes play set and he shows how he box that thing up and I'm like, oh my goodness, that is so much work. But it was a bolo so definitely check out shipping tips over there. All right, let's see what else we find. So at your Goodwill Benz, is it usually crowded where, which area do most people go to? Let me know in the comments. I feel like clothing is the big place for people at our Benz. All right, right here. This is a Fisher Price Loving Family Dream Dollhouse. Of course I'm not gonna buy the whole thing. The whole thing had condition issues, things, it had glitter on it, it was kind of a hot mess. So what did I do? I pulled off the windows, I pulled off the doors and I will sell those items separately. And that thing is going to the landfill. Nobody else wanted that, nobody else was touching it. So instead of everything going to the landfill, I am gonna save those parts. I'm gonna save the windows. Somebody has bought that dollhouse and they don't have the windows and they need it. And I'm gonna tell you that I sell those replacement windows all the time.  I sold four of them. And I think they were selling in the eight to $10 range individually and the buyer paid shipping. But they're kind of a pain to ship. Usually what I do is I sandwich them between cardboard, like a box, cardboard box, I cut it to size, and then I'll put it in a polymailer. So it takes me a little bit of time to ship. So for that one, I ended up selling all four together. And you can do it either way. I popped up the screenshot of what that actually sold for and it did sell really, really fast as a set of four. But I also probably sold the ones individually over a month and I made more selling them individually. But it was more work because I had to ship them individually as well. So time is money. You gotta figure out what works best for you. I personally like parting things out but wanted to try it as a lot and see what happened. And it did well that way as well. All right, we are gonna keep digging here. I did have to, they had some glitter on some of them so I had to clean them up and get that off. A lot of times you will see the dollhouses and they will be faded. The items will still sell faded. All right, this is a squeaker toy. Talk about selling an item that does not work. The squeaker did not work. So I priced it, I think, too low. That thing flew out of my store. It was a bread and butter bolo but fast sales, you gotta love fast sales. And the person messaged me and was so nice. They were so excited to find that item. So those vintage items, they're definitely worth a pickup. That was a little vintage plastic car. I went ahead and grabbed that. And we got some Pokemon cards. I always throw those in my cart. You can sell them individually. There is an app where you can scan them. It's kind of glitchy. I did a video over on my reseller testing bolo products where I was doing the, I think they're called Eugeo cards. So you can kind of see what I mean there. Here are all the dollhouse windows that I popped off of here. And you can see this thing is, it's not in great condition. And I just, I left it behind.  So I saved some parts from it. All right, let's see what else we have here. Lots and lots of stuff this day. I spent a lot of money, but I spent a lot of money but I am gonna make a lot of money. Again, this is gonna be a two-part series, two separate videos. I may pop a different Goodwill Bins video in between so you might not see them back to back. I took one of my friends up to the Goodwill Bins with me and she actually, I thought she was gonna be bored because she's not a reseller. So I'm like, why don't you like shop for me and grab me a bag of stuff and then I can do a video on it and list those items. But you know what? She ended up filling up her cart with personal items. It was cracking me up. She loved it and she has been back with me since. So I'll probably take her again in the future. The second time she didn't shop for me but I did do a video of the things that she bought for me and I think she did really good.  So you can check that video out. It looks like this. I have some reseller tips in that video also about how I parted one of the items out that she picked up for me and made more money selling it that way. So really, really, she found some really great stuff. All right, let's see. We are gonna dig, dig, dig. I like to dig to the bottom looking for those smalls. Do you like smalls? What is your favorite thing to sell? Let me know down in the comments. That is Neutrogena or something like that. Looking for expiration dates. If something has an expiration date, I typically stay away from it. I do have a friend who has had some issues with expiration dates. So I just, I don't mess with that stuff. This here is a Jelly Cat book. It's a soft cloth book with the little tails that stick out, super cute item. I thought it was gonna comp out really good and it's a bread and butter but definitely worth the pickup. All right. Do you guys see anything that I have missed? Anything that you would have picked up that I left behind? There's been times where you guys are like, why didn't you grab it? I'm like, what are you talking about? I don't remember that. There's times, I don't even see things.  So it's great to get you guys's feedback, especially when you put a timestamp so I can go back and look and be like, oh, that also helps people looking at the comments. They can go look for that timestamp and it helps everybody learn. It keeps this really educational and I really work hard to help everyone learn and I learn a lot also from these types of videos. And videos, especially my featured members and my Facebook members share where I do what solds from other people, you would not believe how many items I have found from those featured videos and I only know about them from doing the videos. All right, that's a little Star Wars figure cake topper. Put cake topper in the title. That might help you sell that item. A lot of times parents are making or even cake designers are looking for cake toppers to personalize cakes with maybe a child's favorite character or something like that. Instead of going to a bakery, they just wanna do it themselves and they will use small toys. Farm Girl Scavenger Noel also did in one of her titles for, they were small Christmas ornaments which I thought was really, really clever. They were really like mini miniature Christmas ornaments and she put cake toppers and I was like, yeah, that would work. So definitely another idea there. All right, we are getting close to the end here. Again, be sure to subscribe to the channel if you have not already. Loving these videos, if you love the Goodwill Bins videos, please give me that feedback down below. Let me know if this is something you want to see more of. Any feedback or critique that is nice, that you can say in a nice way, please let me know. I am always open to feedback. Thank you guys so much for being here and thank you for watching. I appreciate every single one of you. And again, go check out those channels I talked about in this video. Link down in the description. Also links to things I use for my reseller business to help me just have a better reseller business, make things easier for me. I'll tell you, tools cost money, but when you sell more because of those tools and you can do things quicker, you're gonna get more done. You're gonna get more items listed. So in the long run, those items pay off even if you have to pay for the service. Talk to your accountant. A lot of those items are tax write-offs. So as resellers, we need tax write-offs, right? So check with your CPA about that. And this right here is another item. It is a Barbie, a Barbie Stacy doll. And did you see my photo? How good it looked? I used photo room for that. It almost looked like a stock photo. So check out photo room also. All right, you guys, speaking of items that I use for my reseller business, this is a photo room quick demo. And why do I like photo room? Number one, I can batch. I can do them in batches, just like you see here. I am pulling up the items and I am clicking on all of these and it is going to white out the background, all of them at once. It's super, super fast. The free version does not do that. However, there is a free version that you are welcome to download. If you want to get 10% off your first year of photo room, there is a link down in the description. If you use that, you'll get 10% off of your annual subscription. All right, so you can see right here, it is whiteing out the background. And I clicked on eBay and when you click on eBay, it formats the listing down to the size of the eBay photo format. So it kind of crops it in and you don't even have to go in and crop your items. Like if you took your picture too far away, it is automatically going to pull it in for you. All right, and then you're just gonna save your photos and now you are ready to go. Those items are in your phones photo album and are ready to upload to eBay with the white background. It's fantastic. Also works great on jewelry. Now there is an option, like if you're on a desktop to use the eBay filter, if you already have a white background, that works pretty good. There's times when I have a really large item and I will take it out on my concrete outside in my driveway. And I love that you can't tell it's outside on my concrete. But you can see these crisp white backgrounds for jewelry are just incredible. Again, there is a free version where you can do items individually, but do you see how I'm batch doing this? I can do so many at once and that just saves me time and time is money. So to me, it's worth paying for the pro plan, but you have to decide what works for your business, but definitely get the free version. And I think on the free version, it does say photo room down at the bottom, right hand corner. So you can see here, these are lots or bundles of items. It works great for that as well. So really gives the division between the items and the crisp white background. Okay, feel free to let me know if you have any questions down in the comments. That was just a little quick demo I thought I would put together for you guys. Thanks for watching.


Not everyone is going to agree with you and that's okay. Sometimes you learn more from people that don't agree with you. My name is Laura O'Donoghue and I am the founder and CEO of Snow Hill Organic Farm, an agricultural farm located in North Salem, New York. We have two issues right now. We have the environmental issue of food waste, and we have the social justice issue of food insecurity. What is really interesting to me is how few people understand that when they throw away food, they're actually creating methane gas emissions. What most consumers, retailers don't understand is that the printed date label does not mean the food has expired. One of the things I love about teaching at my own farm is explaining to the kids what peak freshness really means. And I will tell you something, their eyes light up when they see my chart and they find out their beloved ice cream is not going to expire on the date on the carton, but actually has two to four additional weeks. Every time a market, a consumer throws away food, it could be sent to a pantry, be repurposed, we can find good uses for unused food. Sustainability starts within and it starts with the individual. Leadership has to come from a passion and a purpose. If you are not exemplifying everything you believe in, then the words fall flat. I also believe if your purpose, if your North Star is to save this planet, it's important to do it positively. We all have to work together to make sure that our habitat is maintained. Well, my first advice is to stay true to your purpose. And remember that not everyone is going to agree with you and that's okay. Sometimes you learn more from people that don't agree with you. So don't give up because if it's about climate change, if it's about sustainability, it is so important that you maintain and keep focused and positive because we need all the tools in the toolbox to start making change. And so my advice would be please don't give up. Don't hang up your hat and say I tried. The better mantra is I'm going to keep trying and I'm going to continue to try to affect change because it's important now more than ever. I am an alumni member proudly of the diploma program and what CISL provided was a platform to research and commit to my passion, which is growing food and learning more about how that data and research can help tell a story. So what CISL has provided is the platform to dig deeper into different decisions and different opportunities that I have to make change.


Hi, I'm Mark Hall with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System here with the Ohio State University's Precision Ag Specialist, Dr. John Fulton. John, drones, UAVs, systems, how does the word system fit in there now, but boy, prices drop down. You can get a good drone package for less than $1,500. If not $300 or $400 today, even with the camera, it's amazing, and it's been a hot topic here for the last five years, kind of flashed on the market. We do have some regulations. As a farmer or someone supporting farmers, you've got to consider, and so you can find all that on the FAA website. It's a lot easier to fly legally today than it was a year ago, but it's exciting. We were talking about there's potential that they can be used as an effective tool to scout, collect some data, and I think in long term as we see some of this, and we'll show some examples today, they might be used for other things like actually collecting samples of leaves, water sampling, really getting, you know, there's just a spraying, you know, doing some things that humans normally may have to do manually that they're potentially could replace some of this scouting and some of these type activities. John throughout our Precision Ag series, we've talked about data and big data, but you get the drones, and particularly fixed wing or, man, data is, there is just terabytes or I don't know all the big words. We agree to make in-season decisions and do things, you know, action things. I've got to go spray or do something, and that's going to be the critical thing in my book or smart scout. Yes. You know, I think that's going to be an important thing. So let's talk about drones in this lesson here, Mark. There's a lot of different ones out there today, and the market itself, I mean, Amazon doesn't sell thousands per month, it sells tens of thousands of these things per month. The consumers around the world, there's a lot of different makes. There's fixed wings. There's copters. There's large capacity ones. There's these little copters that can carry a camera. I mean, there's a lot of different orientations, and what I mean by that is, you know, the number of propellers or how they're made and what they can accomplish out there. And so a lot of the different ones out there that are commercially available, and I think we're going to see larger ones in the future that'll come out onto the market that people can take advantage of, they can have that higher capacity to maybe carry a tank or carry some mechanisms to do things out there in the field. I think for today's lesson, I think we're talking about UAVs or unmanned vehicles or UASs or SUASs is what the FAA calls them, and that's anything, any of them that's less than 55 pounds. There's two distinct classes that I would call it that farmers or agronomists have access to. There's the multi-rotor, and we can read down, you know, currently what some of the characteristics of those are. I think the important thing is a multi-rotor can hover, so I can set over a spot. And then there's the fixed swing, and these are typically a little bit more expensive, can fly longer, and can collect, you know, cover more acres per hour per se carrying specifically the cameras. But these two different classes, I mean, these are decisions, but if you're just out scouting probably a multi-rotor type scenario is going to work for you. You can hover, you can get it in position, and take the pictures, whereas a fixed wing I think is going to be more towards trying to collect and generate data layers over larger areas and things.  And so, as you get used to it, you're going to figure out how to take a, go cheap or go basic and then move up in terms of capacity and functionality that brings. So a lot of options out there today, Mark, on both ends. Today we're talking higher capacity today. This is just an example of a DJI 1000 actually can carry 15 pounds of payload. And so, when we think about the Amazons and Interwall March that are playing in this game of trying to deliver packages, I mean, you know, I can put a little bit bigger camera on or I could build in some sampling mechanisms on these that can't be handled with the smaller lighter. And so, you're just, again, we're starting to see this progression of new larger capacity UAVs coming on the market as well that we can think about. John, just a dream, just a perfect world kind of situation would be to have a UAV that had a camera that knew how to recognize a specific insect or specific weed and could fly and just treat the spot. And you know, with the cameras today, I mean, we think about our smartphones and the quality of those cameras and think about mountain those on. You know, I don't want to say that's right around the corner, Mark, but I mean, it's coming sooner than probably a lot of people think about. But with the size of the cameras, the quality of cameras and image processing and analysis that you can do on board, those type of scenarios are becoming more real than where we were just five years ago. So you know, it's just let your mind wonder about how this might fit into an operation, farming operation. So that's kind of what we talked a little bit about. There's the rotors, they hover and you get your fixed wing. You're going to have to glide or stay in flight and fly longer and then you got the capacity or some considerations to make here. Borrowed this from one of our faculty here at Auburn University, but you know, just some facets that's up. You got your UAV itself. You got a sensor, in this case, a camera that can be built right in or mounted on that. That's right. You can buy it right with it. And again, very, very low cost to get a basic one. You can take your pictures over an area. In our case, with the new certification or part 107, you're limited really at 400 feet or below is what we're talking about. That's a lot. We can work with four or three. Plenty to do probably some of the things that we want to do. I typically don't have a controller, they got apps today that can communicate. I mean, I can watch the camera and switch between video and still picture mode, but I can get my self-position to take a picture. Of course, they got their GPS enabled already. That helps geofence it out of areas that they can't fly. And then I can download or upload new firmware or download pictures very quickly. And for the new systems today, they're pretty much autonomous, Mark. I mean, I can put waypoints out and once it lifts off, it goes and does its mission and returns and set it down and you're done. So we're to the autonomous stage on most of these or I can fly, at least on the rotors with the RC or the apps that are available. It's just amazing. John, I've got a simple quadcopter that I got off of Amazon and you just hit that Go Home button, it don't matter where it is, it just flies right in and lands where it took off. Yeah, it's just amazing, just amazing. This is an example on the left side. This is a fixed-wing flight plan that was put together again over a field and so you kind of geofence or what the area that you want to cover, you put that mission as uploaded to that, it takes off, it completes that autonomously on itself, collects the pictures in this case along the way, and then it comes back and lands all. We always say a successful flight is one that we never have to interrupt or even touch the bird at all. On the right side again, this is just an example on any of the rotors today that you just put out, in this case, five waymarks that takes off and it goes to number one, you tell at what height, take a picture, go to number two, take a picture, it can complete that, comes home and again, all autonomously, it's just amazing the navigation systems that today that are already built into these fairly cost-effective solutions.  Well talk to us, big guy, for ag, what camera do we need for crop monitoring? Yeah, and so let's talk, I mean first of all do you want to take still shots, do you want an image or do you want video? Some of these cameras can do both, so there's a combination. I think for most of the folks in ag, they're using basically the camera functionality. And on the bottom there, just reading down the RGB, I can get visible pictures, I can get infrared cameras, I get a red edge camera, I get thermal cameras today, multi-spec and hyperspec, they're again more expensive as you go down and then there's some light arms that can be mounted on that give you elevation or DEM type data with that. If you were going to use your drone for irrigation monitoring, what camera would you use? Well when you say irrigation monitoring, I could use an RGB or visible camera and just fly up and down and check for leaks, plugs, things like that, do a quick check down with my visible. If I want to try and manage and make scheduling decisions and such, the thermal gives you stress plans versus non-stress and so having a thermal camera which is a little bit more expensive or something that gives me a combination of visible and infrared where I can do some calculated vegetative indices just to be able to notice some differences in that crop health out there. And so that's the nice thing, what I want to show on this is if I want to get like an NDVI map, a lot of people talk about NDVI, typically or at least in the past I'd have to fly a visible camera. What does NDVI stand for? Normalized Difference Vegetative Index and that's been utilized as a crop health crop figure measurement out there so but to do that NDVI image I need typically the red band out of the visible so I need a visible camera and then I need an infrared or camera as well. Today for example you look at those cameras up there, the red edge or the sequoia there, they actually can fly and give you both visible and infrared in case of sequoia so I can make one flight, I collect a lot of bands and not only can I get a visible out of it I can actually do a calculated NDVI measurement as an example Mark but what I guess I'm telling you here is the quality and with the capacity of these cameras are growing you can see the size of them but to put them on and I suspect that the cost of those are going to be greatly reduced in the next two or three years. So a lot of different cameras I hear what you're talking about but these are some of the common ones that are accessible out there, if you just want to go basic get you a GoPro and get you a visible one at least start looking at crops at a different perspective. This is just an example, we won't go through all this but again what are you trying to accomplish if you get into this data layering piece. Resolution is important, you can see the top left there is not as high as resolution as the one on the right or the bottom there, you just lose some of that detail but again it gives me green being healthier, more lush plants versus the red areas being not as healthy and probably smaller plants in this case when that was taken mid-summer but you know I also think if you're going to get into flying and you're trying to generate some of these images you probably want multiple images per year, you know going out and taking one snapshot can tell you a little bit but if you're kind of comparing it and kind of following a crop along the year it might not seem important that day but when you get to that yield map and you're trying to go back and look at what happened during the summer or during the growing season having those multiple images really can begin to help tell the story a lot of time. So just a resolution trying to collect multiple images over there and then deciding what kind of camera or what kind of information you want to get from it becomes pretty important but like I said you take that left image versus the right image mark a lot of different detail a lot of different detail and I would compare that on the left almost as your yield map because your yield monitor is not going to pick up some of the micro detail that's in that image so resolution becomes pretty important I think in the tour because a lot of that you see lines and I don't think that's mother nature making those lines out there and they're there and a yield monitor typically is not going to pick them up whereas the imagery can can expose some of the man-made issues that may be cropping up out here in this field. John I think we're at a point today that it's prudent for a farmer to have one of these at the back of his truck and when he gets out in the field in the growing season to just go up go up a hundred feet 200 feet take a quick look if there's something big bad happening out there take care of it and if not come back down to the next field. And we're going to show let's look at an example of this here's just again not probably an exhaustive list but just a list of uses for imagery I really think this smart scouting identifying areas we see a couple areas in that soybean crop I might want to go out and take a look at in this case it's probably herbicide damage as we found out but just identifying these and being able to be smarter in terms of your time going to the field I think becomes very important it's an efficiency thing you learn more and you're out there looking at these differences that are showing up in imagery but there's a lot of other things in terms of identifying stress identifying disease and other things fertility issues I mean there's and I think that list is just going to grow but just it's just a list for for everyone to kind of review and and these to me these I can give you an example of someone in at least the US that are using imagery for one of these items here right here. So going to your point here take your copter you throw it up this is down to Evie Smith through a couple of examples here from Auburn this is a corn crop but again it's about perspective because if I advance if I put that copter right down on the corn that's what we're looking at versus when I get up and you start to look at you know that's a lot different perspective and you know I might want to go look at that area a little bit closer and so like you say you take these copters and just take one picture and be able to learn from that and then again this you know I think about us looking from the end of the rows we're kind of seeing this perspective versus this perspective it's just a whole different world and different information different intel that you can learn about that field that may be of value to you as a as a farmer or as an agronomist is trying to scout just some just do this in I think different types of images not one image can be the tell all either but I like to see what how we're using I want to see that visible image on the left I like to see an NDVI at the same time and I like to see the thermal image and take this for example marking these images but if you notice an RGB and NDVI if you kind of take to see where the white line or where where it's kind of cut out between the two two projects if you look on the left there in a visible or NDVI you don't see much difference do you know but when you move over to thermal you can see some early instances of crop stress something going on there yeah and so again it's all the images help you explore and I always say that you may learn one thing out of one image but not the other but it's a combination and these again all flown at one time and exposing different things about that corn crop in this case that at least I know about it may you know I may action against it I may not but I think it's important to be able to it's a suite of images that helps tell the story and gives you the learning and potential information that we're trying to generate plug sprinkler going back you asked me about that here's uh here's just an NDVI map that was pulled out but you can clearly see that there may be some other issues out there in the field of course but in this case clearly we had a plug plug nozzle or sprinkler in this case on this pivot but you can pull that kind of stuff out blowing that image up that I was showing there but you can see in this case some compaction issues this was taken late july mark this is corn and the green the green NDVI values in this is much healthier much more yield potential at this stage than where the red the red is but you can still see some of those track marks that cause compaction and ultimately yield loss out there if I was going to tell you as an example again a yield map would never show you the kind of details some of this imagery can I mean because at different stages of growth absolutely but I tell you I think we're going to talk to our operators here a little bit about when we're getting out there and what we're doing because if you look at there's a vertical line in that bottom field that's where they right where the grain buggy went no that's actually where the sprayer went I just be lined it to go to the top but you know and if I got a project out there I might be thinking about how I need to harvest it to actually learn about the treatment and not bringing in the man made and the natural variability of what I'm trying to learn so just some thoughts on that just kind of thinking about future mark and and we'll bring this to an end you know we've got spatially in Japan this is the Yamaha chopper on the on the top left being spraying in a in this particular case of vineyard they've been testing this for a few years out in California well farmers are noticing that thing John they are paying attention yeah and so you know we've been testing there's a few at least one in the United States but in Japan they use them all the time but in the bottom right that's a commercially available I can you can go buy that thing the day under on the bottom right and so again as we think doing some of the spot spraying coupling the cameras I mean we're starting to see this trend come together and that you mentioned earlier so here's an example out of the University of Nebraska they've got basically test tubes on there and they've got essentially they can go out and take water samples and you know I think they can carry either two or three water samples they fly it out you go down in the water whatever depth it's set and collect water samples again think about having to go out in a boat or something that used to be able to do that and and do that more frequently and maybe you know and I mean these are just things that are coming down the pipe pretty quick beyond some of the scouting tools that people are starting to work on for wildlife for so many it's not we're thinking ag and we're talking precision ag but this is going to so many options wildlife water quality livestock range management yeah and the livestock producers you know getting up and checking checking their livestock and especially after a storm or um scenario you know a weather condition I mean if I can't get back there but I can I can put that up and go back there and check man gives me you know comp you know makes me feel good that hey everything's okay or hey I got it I got to deal with some issues so so that was kind of just bringing this to an end you know I think there's a lot of opportunities we're still growing in this this idea around using UAVs but as you mentioned I think smart scouting using some of the basic ones that don't cost a lot I think I get a different perspective as we're showing and might be telling uh to go check things or maybe I need to get my insurance agent out there so exciting times my friend exciting times thank you for watching our precision ag videos if you need help contact this guy right here he'll help you thank you for watching


Freedom, I wanna give you one tip that's going to help you increase your productivity online. When you're talking to someone who's probably really, really busy, like a game developer or network staff or really anyone that you can assume has a lot of requests or is talking to a lot of people, always lead the conversation with the who, what, when, where and why. So for instance, if I was going to contact someone on Skype or by email, I would not start a conversation by saying, hey, no, I would type out a few sentences saying, hi there, I wanted to talk to you about my new game coming out. I was wondering if you might be able to promote that on your channel or if you're on the other side of that, hi there, my name is XStuckDizzleX333 and I have a YouTube channel that focuses on content much like yours and I would like to cover your game. I was wondering if you could send a few Steam keys, one for myself and one or two for a giveaway. What this does is it lets someone know exactly what it is you're looking for right up front and it reduces the amount of back and forth. It also helps separate you from someone who may want another thing. And if you're working with some kind of company or some kind of person who segments things, depending on let's say it's a company and they segment their requests for products from support tickets, it lets whoever it is you're contacting know, okay, this is something I need to forward onto someone else or this is something that I need to treat as a priority because I already know what it is and I can do that right now. What you'll find using this method is that people get back to you more frequently because they already have the who, what, when, where and why. And you'll also find that people get back to you with much more helpful information immediately. So a conversation that maybe you're having by email instead of taking four or five emails over the course of a week takes one there and one back. Very simple. I hope this video has been helpful for you. If it has let us know in the comments section down below. The question I have for you this episode is, when you reach out to someone either on Skype or maybe Facebook messaging or something like that, how do you do it? How detailed are you? Do you keep it to one sentence, two sentences? And for anyone that says one word, if you just say, hey, you're the person I'm talking to, anyways, till next time, I'm Anthony with Freedom Live. Subscribe, comments, please.


I think Penderein is really helping to put Wales on the map in certain countries so our whiskey actually gets its name from the village of Penderein which is based here in the southern tip of the Brecon Beacons and really the founders chose this site for the water. There's a lot of limestone natural limestone in this part of the Brecon Beacons that water takes a long time to filter through and that gives us a really pure base for making the whiskey. Very very humble beginnings really to where it is now as kind of a big global brand. I think the audience for Penderein what they really like about our whiskies is that they're very different from Scotch whiskies from Irish whiskies. Penderein has been described as this sort of sunshine whiskey is very delicate and a light style of whiskey that's very soft and smooth and something uniquely Welsh and I think that's what people are really drawn to.


I know guys I know today the market is red and filled with the blood of the weakended Bitcoin is down today back to the 30k ranges and it's pulling the entire market with it as you guys can see here so today we're gonna go ahead and look over some of the outcoins that are currently at a discount today to see where they can possibly be going next with a price analysis on the top five outcoins that you guys the viewers requested stay tuned let's jump in hey what's up j here and welcome to bitcoin daily bringing you guys the best tips tutorials and ideas to help you guys become profitable and successful traders if you're new here the goal of this channel is to empower you guys with the resources and the knowledge to take you up to that next level so guys make sure to subscribe like share and turn on that notification bell so that when we put out these type of trade setups for you guys and price analysis you guys are right there ready to go so the first thing that we're looking over really quick we're not gonna spend too much time on it but it's on bitcoin this is an outcoin video so I don't want to spend too much time on bitcoin but currently what we're looking at as you guys can see we're back on this 61.8% Fibonacci zone which is also the golden ratio and as you guys can see it has bounced here plenty of times right look at all this guys it has we've got a lot of lot of bounces here in this same exact area so other than that we're still in this channel that we spoke about on Monday we're still just trading within this channel we were at the top here I believe on Monday when we spoke about it and now we're heading towards the bottom of the channel so the bottom of this channel is going to be at this next Fibonacci level right here which is right around that 27,000 area so if we continue down in this channel the way it's currently going that is the possibility of where it can go you know we can expect like I told you guys we're setting up lower lows lower highs so that's currently what's been going on here as you guys can see so the next lower low would be down here right however we are in a very strong support and you can look here this is basically a triple bottom right here which is a bullish sign but we do need to break out of this current range we need to bounce up and break up above this we need to break up above 35k and then up above 35k might take us right back to 40k and possibly possibly new all-time highs all right so let's go ahead and now take a look at Ethereum as you guys can see here we posted a new all-time high a couple days ago a few days ago and since then we've been going downwards now the reason we've been going down is not because of Ethereum itself but it's because Bitcoin is pulling the entire market down with it but as you guys can see here and as we spoke about on Monday's video we told you that that we expect Ethereum to be stronger and we expect to post a higher low as you guys can see here we had the low then we had a higher low and this is another higher low so that's what we expected we spoke about it on Monday we didn't expect drop to below 30k to take it down here like last time but we expect it to hold around that 1200 range and look at that guys look at that look at that call exactly to 1200 right before we got that bounce bounce back up to 1313 and now Bitcoin's pushing it down again so you know the entries that we're probably looking at would be around that 1200 range if we see a bounce if we're not seeing a bounce and we're not taking we're not looking to take that right but yeah that's pretty much it right here I'm still very bullish on Ethereum I believe we will make new highs as soon as Bitcoin stops playing around and stops pulling the entire market down with it it's going to take a little bit but I'm bullish on Ethereum I expect new all-time highs very soon and as long as we're we're holding this 1200 zone I'm very happy and very bullish on it I'm happy to take entries there at that 1200 range next let's go ahead and take a look at polka that it's been requested by everybody so many times right all right so I'm polka that this looks familiar doesn't it this is a daily chart look at this move right here last time guys so we had that pattern right and what happened there boom we took off and I believe that we made a video on this exact pattern and our trade set up was that breakout trade so hopefully you guys took that trade that was about two weeks ago or so something like that today guess what guys boom boom boom right so we have basically the same pattern that happened here is happening again so what does that mean that means a breakout guys eventually this is a bull flag right so we can expect a breakout to the upside you know sometime soon um right now obviously bitcoin is pulling down the entire market but when it stops doing that stops when it stops being a little girl about it you know we should see some good days ahead right all right so we had we had the same uh bull flag pattern down here and then we finally broke up and then now consolidation here and we can expect the same thing right kind of the same the same type of pattern here it's gonna be another bull flag it's ranging between the that all time high and the low of it is probably right around here where it's currently at around that $15 range the high is just under $20 right so where do you buy here so I would say you buy at the bottom of the range right where it's currently at so that's that $15 mark that's kind of the bottom of the range or you would be buying you'd be looking to buy a breakout probably above $20 so that that's the two areas that I'm looking at right either the bottom of the range currently at at it now so that when it bounces back up you're in it right so I'm looking to buy here currently where it's at $15 mark that's that's where I'm looking to buy uh you could have stop losses below these lows within this range so the low the lows are these candles here and this candle here right because below that if we were to drop below this is that it's a possibility to drop back down to this $10 range right so you don't want to be in that drop so I would buy here at the $15 mark and I'd be writing this up to the top up here and then be looking to take profits around there and then taking a breakout trade above $20 that's what I'm looking at in polka dot guys if you're enjoying this video so far make sure to subscribe hit that like button and turn on the notification bell so that you guys are notified as soon as we post these videos so that you're not missing out on these profits especially during discount days like this right next we're covering price analysis on ADA Cardano chain link and of course XRP let's dive right in guys all right let's take a look at Cardano ADA as you guys can see here right this is last time this from last time's analysis when we looked at this we told you guys it was a bull flag and the breakout was up here so we're looking to take a breakout an entry above you know on this breakout and boom it broke out just as we said broke out all the way from the 30s to about the 40s right it's about a 10 cent breakout and then now it's been just kind of chopping around a little bit consolidating back it's it's gone back to like the top of this range where the breakout first occurred so it's right around this 30 cent range right and it kind of looks like another small little mini bull flag it's not as as big as wide as this one but it's still you know somewhat of a bull flag the only time that it went under this range was when bitcoin pulled it down so i'm expecting basically the same thing i'd be fine buying here at the 30 cent range and selling towards the top of this right you want to be taking profits probably close to this 35 cent range because that's kind of going to kind of be the top of this and then you'd be looking for a breakout by probably above 38 cents but you have to be ready for a resistance up at 40 cents so maybe another taking profits there and then buying again above 40 cents that is what i'd be looking at in cardinal chain link right now as you guys can see we broke out and posted some new highs so as you guys can see here on the daily i believe we spoke about this bull flag here we had the breakout another bull flag right boom another breakout and then the breakout got stopped kind of short due to bitcoin pulling the market down let's zoom into the four hour so we're currently testing the top of the what was previously a resistance which was where we broke out and it's currently a support now so we're currently retesting that little zone there i'm expecting to see basically i'm expecting to see a test here if bitcoin decides to bounce we should see a bounce back to these highs and possibly a new all-time high so the entry right now would probably be that 20 range right all right i had to fix the Fibonacci retracement levels here but as you guys can see here we're basically right at this 38.2 percent level where we've seen a bounce here and then we're so we're currently trying to break above this next Fib level which will take us definitely to the previous highs right so currently here at that $20 mark is a good spot to enter having to stop probably below i would have it right below 20 that first place to take profits probably going to be around that 22 mark and then i'd be looking at 25 and beyond for that next entry right so you could take entries either here at $20 or you could wait for the break of this area right here which you've seen there's a lot of volatility there's a lot of price action there and it's also the Fibonacci level so that's that's the breakout trade that i'd be looking for is right above $22 the support entry i'm looking at is here at $20 mark all right guys so let's take a look at xrp the last coin that we're going to look at we've been getting so many questions about this obviously right now they're dealing with a lawsuit they've been delisted or suspended from a lot of different exchanges especially exchanges in the us but um they've also been delisted and or suspended in other exchanges outside of the us which is what's led to this because there's a lot of fud right there's a lot of fear uncertainty and doubt for those of you that don't know what fud it means so currently what we're seeing here is basically a falling wedge right so if you look here you can see that we've just kind of been you know in this falling wedge nobody really knows what's going to happen so it's just kind of been trending in this within this falling wedge now the falling wedge is actually a bullish pattern okay it is a bullish pattern as you guys can see here on the screen a falling wedge usually ends up breaking out to the upside now do i think that's what's going to happen it's a scenario it's a possibility and it's what this pattern usually leads to right especially when we're in a bull market so currently we're in a bull market as you can see we're basically in the oversold territory on the four hour so look at the daily dailies we're at the bottom of the rsi and on the weekly we're right in the middle so it's poised to to run right now what has to lead to this breakout is more the question and that might that's the thing is it might not get solved until we get a little bit more clarity on what's going on with this case and what's going to happen right so what i think is going to happen i i did a xrp versus sec video on this topic right and i said that what my opinion was is that the sec i don't think much is going to be done and i don't think they're gonna have enough facts and evidence to prove to really prove anything where they can really take any huge action against xrp so i i think they're gonna end up in a settlement right i don't think they'll be able to prove that xrp is a security or anything like that so it'll end up in some sort of settlement where they might have to or xrp might have to burn tokens right so they might have to burn a percentage of their tokens that they're holding because they have remember they have the majority of the share of xrp tokens are being held by ripple itself so if the results come in in some sort of settlement where xrp has to burn a majority of the tokens they're holding then what's gonna happen is scarcity right so what happens when something is scarce the value goes up so that's the scenario where i see where xrp could rocket beyond i would say beyond previous all-time highs where it could just take off and break that one dollar and just keep going but we don't know when that's gonna happen so it's kind of hard to tell if you're you're you know putting some money into xrp you could just kind of you're gonna have to dollar cost average here because we don't know how low it might go before it you know something happens we get a little bit more clarity on it and it takes off right so that's kind of my breakdown right now on xrp that's what the charts are showing right now all we can do is wait and see that is pretty much it guys thank you guys for sticking around to the end of the video for those of you who did make sure to share this video with your friends and family as we continue to put out this knowledge for mass cryptocurrency adoption guys crypto is the future make sure to spread it and put it out there thank you guys again i will see you guys on tomorrow's video as always peace and love
