This one right here is one of the items that I will not bring to whatnot and the reason is Hey, hello buddies. Thanks for watching. All right in this video I'm gonna talk to you about my big money Bolo's items to be on the lookout for Items you can hopefully buy low and sell for a profit I'm also gonna talk to you about a couple jewelry items and I'm gonna tell you why I will not bring those to whatnot I will put those on eBay and I think it's gonna make a lot of sense. So let's go ahead and get started here With the first a big money Bolo So the first one here is this plush Dalmatian dog Melissa and Doug and I put lifelike I think realistic would have been a better term realistic is much better than lifelike and This did take a little while to sell. This has been listed fit since July 4th of 2022. So Um Would realistic have helped me sell the item. I don't know I thought it was really cool and I don't see a lot of Dalmatian plush. So I thought it was gonna sell a lot quicker It was kind of big though. So shipping was kind of high Bought this at a garage sale for $5 sold it for 65 The buyer was all in for a hundred and thirty seven dollars and thirty five cents with shipping and tax So that could have been you know when you think about selling things and bigger items And you put in the amount they paid for shipping new Vera Bradley little hipster purse bag hanging around This I got at a garage sale for two dollars and I sold it for 81 dollars and 29 cents and the buyer paid shipping This one right here is one of the items that I will not bring to whatnot and the reason is is I know this brand now because I Picked some up and I did some research because I just thought they were super super cool They are marked jewelry 10 now I start my items on whatnot at five dollars And if I brought this to whatnot more than likely The audience is not going to know this brand because it is more of an artisan made piece It may get some bids people may look it up. I don't know but Chances are it's not going to go for very much and I already know this is a big money bolo So honestly for this one it would not be in my best interest to bring this to whatnot because The audience the people buying are probably not going to know it's a big money item Now if I bring something like a weiss brooch People in the audience know that weiss is a sought after brand So they're more than likely going to bid that up. Are they going to bid it up to what I could sell it for on eBay no probably not Most of the people on whatnot that are buying a lot of the people buying for me are resellers So They're going to want to get a deal so that they can make a profit now. Do I have collectors that come in? Maybe I don't know but I guess the point being here is that Being that it's an artisan made piece It's not maybe one that people would know that it's highly sought after and I only know this from experience So I would put this on eBay not whatnot Because if I put it on whatnot, I may only sell it for five or ten dollars And that would really stink knowing that I know it's a big money bow. Well Um, I ended up taking a best offer of 90 dollars for this and the buyer paid shipping These here are the dinosaur train dawn Paradon and buddy t-rex interactive talking action figures batteries not included So these are interactive and they talk back and forth to each other now. I have had these listed since 2021 I did have another set that sold much quicker. It may depend on which dinosaur you have I got these at a garage sale for two bucks. So Um, not a big deal to wait it out sold them for 55 80 plus shipping This is a walt Disney worlds park alice in wonderland teapot I got this at a garage sale for six dollars sold it for 40 and 30 cents plus shipping This is not something I typically pick up. This was not fun to ship It had this detail on the top. It had a lid Yeah, not a huge fan of shipping breakables. You guys know that if you watch me, but I did like this one it was disney and I bought it and I sold it, but I will tell you I uh, it sat in my send offers You know how you can send offers to people who like or watch your item I kept avoiding this one. I'm like, ah I don't want to send an offer on that because if they accept I really don't feel like shipping this You know, I do that with breakables. I'm like, I don't want to send an offer I don't want to ship it and that's one of the reasons why I don't pick up a lot of breakables This one here. I picked up on whatnot And I bought this from zombie bargain hunter He had a whatnot show selling all animated plush and I love animated plush. So I was like, I am there I like to get them because I test them on my reseller testing bolo products channel And they're just great items. So it gives me video footage over there And plus they sell. I know they're typically a good selling item the animated plush So I paid five dollars plus shipping for this And I sold it for 42 dollars and 25 cents plus shipping. So definitely a bolo This is zombie bargain hunter over on youtube. Definitely check him out He mainly focuses on selling plush, but he does sell other items and you would definitely learn from him So check him out and he is also on whatnot as zombie bargain hunter This is two vintage 24 cards and envelopes santa claus night before christmas box sets And I got these. I don't remember where I got these. I think maybe in a state sale. Not sure So then for 40 dollars and the buyer paid shipping The next item here is the talk boy. I did a video on this I went to a garage sale I hadn't been to a garage sale in a while and I walked up and I found so many bolos at the garage sale I do have some video footage of that if you guys want to check out that video It's like me holding up something and it says I finally found one. So uh, that's the video I got this for two dollars and 50 cents at a garage sale sold it for 49 dollars and 60 cents plus shipping This is one of the items that you know how you have a bolo list and you're like I know it's a bolo and if I see it. I'm gonna know it. I saw it and I'm like no way Um, unfortunately, I got two that day and neither one of them worked completely But it still sold pretty quickly for a nice profit The next item is this vintage. Um, it's a model kit by heller And I bought a whole bunch of these at a garage sale I paid three dollars each for them. Some of them sold quickly. Some of them have been more long tail This sold for 55 dollars and 80 cents plus shipping This is the 1978 muppet show metal lunchbox. No thermos current the frog And I was actually shocked at how quickly this sold. Um, I bought it for two and sold it for a best offer of 55 Dollars and the buyer paid shipping. I listed this november first Well, that doesn't did it sell that quick november? Oh Okay, so I think I ran this on auction and nobody bought it and then I listed it november first and it sold november fifth So quite possibly somebody could have seen that I relisted it as a buy it now And maybe that's why it sold so quickly. They could have been watching my auction Uh, these are the lot of 34 good to grow juice toppers I did a whole video about these if you don't know about it. Definitely check out that video This is kind of one of those unexpected bolos. Could I have made more money partying it out? I kind of talk about that in the other video So check it out got these at the goodwill bends by weight So probably three bucks at the most maybe maybe four and I sold these for a best offer of 75 plus shipping I listed these on november first and they sold on november sixth So a fast sale this is a vintage eisenberg ice snowman brooch November first and sold november eighth So it sold pretty quickly And eisenberg I think is a decent brooch brand. I'm not a hundred percent sure you guys can probably tell me more Um $45 and 50 cents plus shipping so I'm guessing it's pretty good or somebody just wanted a snowman I'm not completely sure but I was surprised at how quickly it sold This one right here is a jewelry 10. So this is like the other one that I showed you earlier So there's a story behind this one. I sold it I want to say for over a hundred and I got a return and I'm like what on earth. Why did I get a return? You know like I was so confused. Well, I didn't catch it when I listed it. Do you see right here this little hole? There is a little uh thing missing one of the little Like things that sticks out the top of the head. I didn't catch it And there's also a little knob see the top at how it has three and then there's one missing I didn't catch it now These photos right here show that because when I relisted the item I noted the defects All right, but I didn't catch it the first time I listed it. It wasn't super noticeable Like if you just look at that you don't really see any problems, right? So I just missed it and they opened an um a return And I happily accepted apologized gave them a full refund to include their shipping and I relisted the item and I relisted it on november 3rd And sold it on november 9th damaged guys incomplete and damaged for 85 plus shipping It sold that quick. So if you see this brand jewelry 10 Definitely definitely look it up The next item is another brand that I will not bring to what not and that is because it is another artisan signed piece And on what not I'm typically doing like a grab and sell style and I'm pulling things up And it doesn't give people a whole lot of time to look things up So they may hear lis tech and be like I've never heard of lis tech and if you look at it It's like written right here like with a sharpie or something. It doesn't look super high end, right? It does also have the little pendant, but this is probably the artist's actual signature But you would look at this and you probably wouldn't think oh, that's big money, right? So I might get five or ten bucks for it on what not well I researched it when I found it because anything that's artisan made I always look up because I'm curious about it And I'm always trying to learn new brands well This one sold for 97 dollars and 50 cents plus shipping So there's a brand for you guys to be on the lookout for that I more than likely will not bring to what not I'm not saying never but probably not um now a lot of times I do unboxings or untanglings and I just throw the box in a Thing and I grab and sell so I guess it could show up But if I pre sort and I see a lis tech it's going on ebay This is a vira bradley triple zip cross body purse So this is like the other one and I didn't put purple in the title. So Good for me This one I got at a garage sale for two dollars sold it for 89 dollars and 75 cents plus shipping that was a great garage sale and I bought a whole bunch of What do you call them the little cars? The metal cars diecast cars that are new in the packaging And I keep saying I'm going to bring them to what not I'm going to bring them to what not and I have not brought them to What not yet? So if you guys are not following me on what not definitely do that there is a link down below It is a referral link. So you'll get 15 dollars to shop and um I basically sell tons of jewelry, but I also sell toys and I've sold clothing. I've sold vintage Christmas I've sold vintage this and that so I have all kinds of shows over there So I would love for you guys to come and follow I also have tutorial videos that teach you how to sell on what not if that's of interest to you So check those out And I hope to see you at a show Here is a weird bolo. It's a vintage halloween prop teeth ice salad tongs I got these at the goodwill bins they're hong kong And I sold these for 40 dollars and 30 cents So bought it by weight probably a couple bucks in those and weird cells Uh farm girl scavenger newell always says it weird cells by the weird and I agree with her So I bought the weird now this one Was another day when I was like I've got to get some stuff on ebay And this brooch caught my attention because it was really beautiful And it doesn't look super special. It's uh metal I think and You know, I sell these metal flowers all the time on what not And they do okay, you know, sometimes I get five for them. Sometimes they go up to like 15 It really just depends who's in the audience But this one was marked sand door and I'm like another brand I've never heard of and curiosity will sometimes get me And I looked it up and I could not find anything like it. So Honestly, I'm like, I'm just gonna try an auction and start at high Like I tell you guys all the time if you've never heard of the brand and there's none listed start the auction high Somebody offered me 110. Well, I didn't take it because I'm like it's got quite a few watchers. I've never seen the brand I've got it listed at 99 dollars and 99 cents Um, could I have increased my price of the auction? Yes, but it was only 10 dollars more So I was willing to take the risk Well, it sold for 99 dollars and 99 cents plus shipping. I'm very happy with that Um, did I lose 10 dollars? Yes, but oh well You know, uh, I could have possibly had a bidding war at the end and it could have went crazy So it was worth the 10 dollar risk to me This is a window august triple switch cover plate dogwood flower handmade solid bronze light switch I got these at a garage sale it equalled out to about a dollar a piece for these sold this one for 65 plus shipping This is a vintage avon advent calendar fabric. No mouse countdown to christmas And it says see details. So I think there were like some imperfections and stuff on it And it did not have the mouse and I sold it for 93 plus shipping and I got it at the Goodwill Benz I found two of these on the same day right there together at the Goodwill Benz And my heart was racing. Um, I don't normally get super um, my heart doesn't race over finding something typically But they had just brought the card out. It was in my eyesight There were people on both sides of me and my heart was racing because I knew How big of a money bolo these are and I got two Two in the same day. I was so excited I was so excited and that was part of the lost footage. So you guys never got to see that footage All right, this is a catherine's collection fish glitter teeth pinwheel hat backpack ornament with tag I got this at a garage sale for a dollar and I sold it for 46 dollars and 50 cents and the buyer paid shipping Here is another one that is that liz tech brand And again, I had sold the one that looked like a music note So I knew this brand and I was like, I'm putting it on ebay I'm gonna take a chance and I'm gonna list it high and I'm gonna put it on ebay And you guys it sold super quick again artists and signed People on whatnot probably aren't gonna know this is a bolo I probably would have lost my tail on this one and I lose my tail all the time Selling jewelry on whatnot. I'm not gonna lie people get some really great deals from me because I don't typically look stuff up But now that I know this brand I I'd be silly to to not put this on ebay I listed this on november 18th and it sold on december 5th for 107 dollars and 25 cents plus shipping So that is what you guys are looking for if you ever see that and this might be an item that you can scoop up on whatnot From another seller that doesn't know the brand that didn't look it up Okay, and a lot of people do that on whatnot. Like I said my grab and sell shows where I do untanglings I'm not looking this stuff up. I am not and even on my preloaded shows I am just trying to get that preloaded as quick as possible And I just know that on whatnot like I am looking for the quick sale I am not going for the listed high and waited out. That's my ebay method What not is I start my items at five dollars or less And I expect that people are going to get a deal and they're going to make money on it And I'm good with that. That is I'm good with it.  Yes, and I've had people tell me all the time. Don't sell that Don't sell that and I'm like I'm selling it. I'm selling it.

Monday, June the 15th, 2020 meeting of the Montpelier design review committee. I will let everyone introduce themselves on the committee and staff. And Steve Everett on the committee, and I'm Meredith Crandall, the staff for the committee. And I'm Mike Miller. I'll be trying to operate the admitting people and taking questions in the chat room. Okay. And Meredith, do you want to review the meeting procedures? Yeah. So I'm going to do a share screen so that anybody who's watching via orca can see. Oh, I just want to share one thing. To make into the access information in case they're wanting to log in. So, due to the state of emergency declared by Governor Scott as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to addendum six to executive order 01-20 and act 92 the design review committee is authorized to me electronically. Therefore, there is no physical location to observe and listen contemporaneously to this meeting. However, in accordance with the temporary amendments to open meeting law, the design review committee is providing public access to the meeting by hosting a video conference meeting, including both video and telephone access options through the zoom portal. All members of the committee have the ability to communicate at the same time during this meeting through this platform and the public has access to listen and if desired participate in this meeting in real time. To do that, you can either join the zoom meeting at this link here anybody who's watching via orca. And also another option is to call into the meeting at<PHONE_NUMBER> and plug in this meeting ID and password. I will be leaving this up while I'm reading through this. We previously gave notice to the public of the information for accessing this meeting through posting of our agenda. The instructions are also provided on the city's website at this pending applications link here. If anybody has a problem accessing the meeting while they're in the zoom portal, you can or otherwise you can either email the meeting moderator Mike Miller at M Miller at Montpelier hyphen vt.org that if you're in the zoom portal and you're having problems, you can message Mike through the chat function in zoom. When you actually log into the meeting to participate either via telephone or through the zoom portal, you're going to have an opportunity to tell the moderator which applications you're wishing to comment on. And when the chair announces that the time for public comment on that application arrives, the moderator will unmute members of the public based on the order you submit your intent to comment. If you're interested in speaking on a matter and didn't say you would like to speak previously on that particular application, please raise your hand if you're on video or you can unmute yourself and state your name or you can use the chat function to reach out to Mike and city staff will add you to the queue. Once the chairs recognize you to participate, if especially if you're a member of a public versus an applicant, then the moderator will unmute your microphone, and you'll be free to provide questions or comments evening to keep those initial comments to two minutes. The PRC members will have an opportunity to respond or ask questions of you and the applicant may also have an opportunity to respond. Tonight, it doesn't look like we have any members of the public. So far, we just have applicants. But if anybody watching and I'm interested, it can come in. After you finish speaking your microphone will be muted again as applies to applicants and public public parties that are interested. The moderator will then call the next person to speak. If you're a member of the public you can, you know, speak again later but we're going to try and keep things muted. When you're not actually speaking if it all possible it helps reduce people talking over each other interference from background noise. In the event the public is unable to access then this meeting it will be continued to a time and place certain. It's important to note that all votes taken during this meeting that are not unanimous will be done by roll call vote on that meeting back over to the chair Steve. Okay, to move to move forward. Do I hear a motion to approve the agenda. I move to approve the agenda. This is Martha. Seconds. Okay, all in favor speak your name. Hannah. Stephen. Okay, we can move forward to the first applicant, which is for 107 State Street. Honor John Russell and applicant, Carolyn Earl. Is Carolyn there. Robin is Robin. Sorry. There we go. Hi, I'm Robin Freeman. I'm Caroline's law partner. So I don't really have anything to say beyond what's in the application we're replacing the sign outside because the name of the firm changed we're doing as best we can to keep the sign coloring size everything is close to what's on the building right now. It's just really the lettering that's going to change. I'm just going to scroll down just so the public can see as well to, here we go. This is a good representation of what this is going to look like. And this is the for anybody following along in the full meeting packet. This is on page 12 of the meeting packet. This is the actual look of the sign is exactly the same as something that's shown earlier in the meeting packet, but this one has installation details from the sign manufacturer about the, you know, how far out it's going to stick the, how far off the building it will sit and the style of installation and location. Oh, I'm really tired of this. Robin, this is Martha. It indicates that your new sign is going to be 95 and a half inches. Do you know how large the existing sign is. According to the sign application that was filled out years ago when that one was approved. It's the same size. Okay, great. Thank you. It must have been a change because our packet shows the length of the sign at 92 inches so I'm assuming that's been corrected. Steve, it's a few pages beyond that. There's another. There's another copy. I might see that there's two copies. Yeah. Oh, there's Earl and Freeman PLC 95 and a half. And there's another one in there that says Earl and Freeman PLC 92 inches. Um, yeah, that's something from when I didn't even catch that that was something from the manufacturer when he sent the new one he didn't tell me was going to change the size of the science that might be a typo. We didn't ask him to change the size of the sign. I didn't catch that either to be honest. So, okay, nothing consequential, but I just thought it maybe somebody might want to correct that in the information. Yeah, I'll, he might have actually put this into production already, but I will send him an email immediately after saying, you know, make sure that the size was what we requested it to be. Okay, no problem. Does anyone on the committee have any questions, comments or suggestions? Follow by town. No. Okay, I mean it's the same size sign, same location, just the change of name of the business. So, if nobody has any objections, I will run through the evaluation criteria for the sign. Call it by town. Otherwise, just press how to continue. You are in the meeting now. There are 11. They're recording coming through. That might be Seth who's logging in. Is that Tratter? Oh, hi, Eric. Eric by phone and I had my, I could hear you guys, but I couldn't see anything. So now I'm on phone. Okay. Can you hear me? It's Seth. Yes. So we have Seth in there.  I am. I was lost. I lost the video for a moment. It was gone. Okay. We're back. I'll go through the evaluation criteria. Number one, a preservation or reconstruction of the appropriate historic style of those projects in the historic district acceptable. No harmony of exterior design acceptable. Competibility of proposed materials with other properties acceptable. No landscaping proposed. And this application. Prevention of the use of incompatible designs, buildings, colors, exterior materials acceptable. Location and appearance of all utilities. None. No changes proposed to the application. The application of and respect for view quarters and significant vistas, including gateway views of the city and state house acceptable. Conformance with city skate placement and design recommendations. Acceptable. Competibility with subject property and adjacent properties acceptable. Not obscure significant architectural details acceptable. Consistency and uniformity of multiple signs not applicable. Illumination not applicable. Penance and banners, not applicable. And individual letters of fixed painted or engraved directly on the building or structure or encourage the sign is acceptable in this location. I'm going to hear a vote by everyone speaking their name. This is Martha I say yes. And it says yes. Seth or Eric are you there. Yes, if you didn't get me last time. Okay. Okay. And Steve says yes. So it's unanimous. So Robin, and I actually I need to work this into my intro. For this DRC permit, it's an administrative permit. So Steve is going to fill out a recommendation sheet that goes through all of those criteria he just talked about. I'll send that to me. I'll send it to you. I just need at the least an email back to me acknowledging your receipt of that. There's no conditions on it. So we don't have to, you don't have to sign it for a mat. And then I'll issue the administrative permit. And then just bearing in mind that there is an appeal period after the permit, but this is a sign here. You're not. There's no big issues. I don't anticipate anybody appealing you updating your sign. Thank you. You're welcome, Robin. We can move forward to the application for 152 Main Street. Cassandra Coakley for the rooftop solar array. Is Cassandra there or someone for the applicant. Yeah, I'm here Cassandra Coakley is here.  So we are interested in installing some solar panels on the building. I enclosed a photo of the building showing where exactly the solar panels will go. Also, I enclosed a photo from Catamount solar who is going to be doing the job, just an aerial view so that you can see what the panels look like on the front part of the building. Yeah, you can see right there that this I asked him if this was to scale or like what were the exact dimensions of these panels on the building. The front part that's more visible from the road. Yes, right there is going to be about a 10 by 10 area of black on black solar panels. So what that means is that oftentimes you'll see the solar that has the silver framework that is a little bit more visible. This building has a darker roof so we thought the black on black would blend in a little bit better especially being in the downtown area. The back part of the building which is the main array which is much larger is going to have 24 panels so it'll be about 20 feet by 23 feet. That's a larger section of roof if you look at the photo of the building. The front part is really just the one story. There are about two stories of coverage on the back which is a little bit more hidden from the road. Does anyone on the committee have any comments questions or suggestions about the solar panel installation. It's new things killing me. So mounted to the standing seam. Yes. Yes, that's correct. And then the power. Is that going to be next to the existing meter or how does that, how does that come into play. Well, the I'm not sure how they're going to do that the meters are on the other side of the building which aren't really visible from the road. So any, you know, duct work that they might have to do I think would be pretty well hidden just like the existing electrical wires and things are. Right. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else have any questions. If not, I can go ahead with the recommendation form the evaluation criteria. Number one preservation or reconstruction of the appropriate historic style of the proposed projects in the historic district or involves an historic structure. The adaptation of the solar panels. And to the standing seam roof seems acceptable. Any of exterior design with other properties in the district. Acceptable compatibility of proposed exterior materials. Acceptable compatibility or proposed landscaping non proposed prevention of the use of incompatible designs buildings colors games or exterior materials acceptable location and appearance of all utilities acceptable. All in favor of the application speak your names one by one please. Seth Mitchell. This is Martha, I say yes. And it says yes. Steven says yes. Yes, yes. Okay. It's approved unanimous narrative. You want to. Sorry, I was just writing. So Cassandra is going to be the same situation as it was with the prior permit where I will send you a copy of the recommendation form that Eric just went through. And you'll get to see that and just you can you can print it outside and send it back to me or you can just send me an email acknowledging your receipt of it. And that the review is your agree with the review and then we'll issue your administrative permit. Excellent. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Thank you very much and good luck with your project. Thanks for pretty excited. Good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Does anyone have anything else at the moment? Otherwise, do I hear a motion to has everyone had a chance to look at the minutes from June the 1st. Eric was not in attendance. Okay. I was not in attendance either. I was and I moved to accept them. Do I hear a second, Hannah? Yep. I'm in favor of the June the 1st of minutes. Speak your name. Martha. And a favor. Hannah. And Steve in favor. So the minutes are approved by a vote of 3. Does anyone else have any other business. Meredith. Mike anyone? Nope. I don't even know if we have an application yet for July 6th, but that's three weeks out. So people have two more weeks to get in applications for you. So next meeting is July 6th, and so we all get a little bit of a break. Okay. Oh, and just while I've got you on here, and I'll send around something in writing too, for August, we're only going to have the first meeting. We're not going to have two meetings in August. So the August 17th meeting is going to be canceled. You can take a little vacation time away from this. Or better, I can take a long vacation time away from this for a little bit like a week. That's good. So no getting on the 3rd of August. The 17th August meeting. Okay. Yeah, you'll get something in writing as well. But since I had you all here and the decision had been made, I figured I'd let people know as soon as possible. Okay. If no one has anything else, do I hear a motion to adjourn? Eric move. Do I hear a second? I'll second it. This is Martha. All in favor, speak your name. Martha. Eric. Hannah. D. Everybody. Okay. Good. Meeting is adjourned.


Now, you're still watching Waze National Dollar Day takes place each year on August 8th, as it is the anniversary of the date when the Continental Congress established that the money unit of the United States would be the dollar. Now, this happened in 1786, and just six years later, the United States Mint was established in 1792. The U.S. currency has been the dollar for more than 200 years, and this particular currency is the one that is giving us a lot of headaches in Nigeria because we have an economy that is solely dependent on this particular currency. Everything. You have to buy F4. You'll tell you the dollar has gone up. It's a very strong global currency. When I heard that at some point, yeah, the Chinese, they were in talks with President Buhari on them Nigerians just directly buying things from China using their currency. I said, yes, finally, but it did not happen, because like literally, right, for every transaction you want to do in this country, you have to go through the dollar. The only places that I've been to that have not had to buy the dollar is probably when I'm going to Europe or when I'm going to the U.K., but every other transaction, you have to get dollars first, then when you then get to where you're going to, you then have to convert it. So it's a very important currency to our economy, and I hope that if we truly want to change that status quo, like this diversification of the economy that they're talking about, let it not be just theory or just talk truly, diversify our economy, let's have us as Nigerians pushing out more of our stuff to the world, and that we, the burden of the dollar or the pressure and all of that will drop, and we would actually even strengthen our Naira, because it makes no sense. We almost get hitting a thousand Naira to a dollar. So this day is very important to us, very, very important. Especially her. That's true. See the way she's looking at me with corner eyes.  All of them, they are in Canada now. Yes, they're relocating. People are stiff with the money, even the one percent, you know, because what I sell is not in necessity, so it makes it... It's luxury.  So in Nigeria, you're here, bringing luxury to them, it's like, no, we're, we're farming here, while everybody now, every big man in the middle, ah, I'm a farmer. What do you do, sir? I'm a farmer. I feel good. Because our farmer is a new way now, so it's really, you know, it's crazy. Do we have Isi now? Hi, Isi, a father there. Isi, vahome. Hello, sayuame. Hello, Mary. Hello. Isi, don't laugh at me. Hello, Diora. Hi. I said, Isi, don't laugh at me, too.  You want us to talk about this story of lamentations here? I really do. It is totally affecting me. I, in fact, Nigeria is, let me just put it the normal way we usually say it, it is well with us. It is well, my sister. All right, mama, what did you fight for us today in the news? Okay, in the news today, what caught my attention is the story about Waik. And it simply says, it simply says that Waik with those results of over 200,000 candidates records 79.81% pass. And the little pic there is on the fact that the Waik boss, Patrick Arega, said that candidates no longer are no longer ready to study, noting that they lack self-confidence and preparations for examinations are quite poor. Now, this actually caught my attention because he is not far from the truth. What he said is quite apt, because currently we had, if you recall, we discussed a story about individuals in the past that did not perform well, and they had a lot of students or exam writers carrying the creep sheet. The creep sheet, that's what we popularly call Expo or Chukuli into the examination hall. So that is, as a result of the fact that individuals were caught with the creep sheet. So they didn't release results in these areas that they had a lot of examination malpractice. Like I stated earlier, it is about time that parents step up to the plate, try to curb this culture of examination malpractice, because it begins from home and transcends to the school and to the society at large. So it is high time we actually curb this menace that we have in Nigeria, but he also recorded the fact that, or he stated that we had a lot of passes as well. So kudos to those who actually did the work. Yeah, I was just going to say that we also received my son's WIAC results today. It was quite good, we thank God. And something revolutionary that I think WIAC is doing is the ability for them to download their certificates almost immediately. Fantastic! Yeah, something that they've not done before. So this is a good fit. So instead of all that time, you have to wait for your certificates. So now it's almost like you can get your e-certificates. That's fantastic. So there's been a lot of improvement especially with WIAC. I was going to say, let me shade the jumps more. We'll make it keep quiet, because the same person will try to jump. The way they give him 60 something for English, the same person that WIAC and A1 will get. So they use the corner eye, they look at the jump. I will seek the jump out, but it's not now. But you just shade and jump. No, but I'm just saying, literally, I think maybe they should start giving us a result sheet or something. Like upload it. It's not that difficult. Technology has made life easy. Let me even see my score. Let me see that this was my script. Because these days, sometimes I just look at some kind of result. You just see one outlier there. Literally, can you not even check yourself that these results. But it's not a story for another day. Maybe because my children are writing that WIAC. That's why I bought Hey. Hey, Nigeria. Let's move on, please. Let me come see you married and I'll take your story. Okay. This evening, we heard the news that the senior pastor of Fountain Life Church, Pastor Taiwo Udukoya passed on today on Monday, 7th of no, yesterday, Monday, August 7, 2023 in the United States of America. In a statement, the church said the Fountain of Life Church family in total submission to the will of God Almighty announces the passing on to greater glory of our father, teacher, a great seventh of the most high God, Pastor Daniel Taiwo Udukoya, founding pastor of the Fountain of Life Church. So sad.  Like, I was working, working on my laptop. Like, literally tears couldn't stop rolling down my cheek. Tears were just bringing out tears, all itchy and all of that. Let me shut down. So I just shut down my laptop and just said, let me take a nap because I was feeling a bit of headache. And only for me to open my eyes and try to go through, because I had a few missed calls I needed to return. And going on Instagram, I was trying to find the what's in the news when I now found that post. It was really, really... He's really suffered a lot of losses. In fact, when the last one happened, which was his wife, Pastor Numti, when she passed, like, I was saying that, God, please just comfort this man.   It's really sad. I'll just say that my heart goes out to his family and I pray for comfort for them. I pray for comfort for them because they've suffered a lot of losses. His twin had passed. He's had a loss again. I mean, well, thank God, that they are Christians and this is the time that they truly need the comfort of the Holy Spirit. And I know that he will definitely comfort them. So our heart goes out to the entire fountain of life, church members, and the immediate family of Pastor Taiwo Dukuya. All right, Diora, what did you find for us in the news? Yes, so this one struck me because I remember that a couple of days ago, you know, on the show, we had discussed fake news and all that. Yeah. So this is Acuabio, Gowon, Shoinka, others to attend the three-day summits on fake news misinformation. Um, the president of the Senate, Senator Goodwill Acuabio, former military head of state, General Yacobo Gowon, Professor Waleshink and all the dignitaries that are expected to attend the three-day summits aimed at addressing the issues of fake news, misinformation and disinformation. Um, the summits are organized by bloggers, bloggers and content creators from all 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory. Um, I think this is fantastic. I mean, this is the first-ever national bloggers and bloggers summits.  Um, the bloggers have been attributed to being agents of fake news. This assertion may not entirely be correct, but the effects of fake news, hate speech and campaigns of Kalini that characterize the last election, I mean, this was really visible in the last election, you know, in terms of the fact that there was a lot of... Miss communication.  It almost felt like there was no there was no line, you know, everything was up for grabs, you know. So, I think this is fantastic and, um, you know, so the whole goal here... See, auntie, what do you mean? What do you mean three-day summits? I mean, for you to get national... So, I get it. The goal, I don't have a problem with it. Yeah. But how can these three-day summits truly be effective? Because summits are just they come, they talk and then what?  So, see, honestly speaking and that's why for me, right, attending all these conferences and all of that, is a bit... Just talking about the problem.  Yes, you would have all these speakers come, they talk about all the implications of fake news and all of that. How would it truly translate into us becoming a lot more responsible? Because right now, the bloggers are not just your people that are officially making money from blogging. Anybody with a mobile phone and data can become like literally you can spread fake news. This is beyond just putting together a conference, a three-day summit. It's a fantastic idea that they understand that it's a problem and they're trying to solve it. But, you know, Nigeria and summits, I think I have a very, very bad... The occurrence of summits. Yeah. Summits are just like opportunities for a lot of money to be spent. Right? So, you put it together, all the grand things and all of that. But it really does not affect the change that we're seeking. That's why, you know, when I say all these three-day summits, one-day summits, whatever, because I can literally tell you that a billionaire went into the summit. I can literally tell you that. But imagine if I'm taking that money and probably look for a more creative and innovative way to tackle fake news, right? I don't know. I'm not the one that would give them the solutions, but I just believe that things like summits and all of those things are just talk shops, right? It's just like what we do here, we talk. But beyond the talk, personal engagements that, you know, we're able to then affect real life changes, you know? So I think that's what it should be, not really so much of... Because if it is for summits, a lot of people have talked about impacts of fake news and so what would be the kind of topic line-up and all of that? It will still be talk. How do we move it away from talk to real life, you know, practical solutions? That's the only question I'll leave it, you know. I'll leave to them to answer. All right, so we'll take a break now. When we come back from that break, stay with us. Stay with us.


hey good morning welcome to morning prayer from the radiant city center we're going to be entering in to worship to praise to proclamation to prayer all the peace this morning starting in Psalm 100 go

of our lives so lift up the name of Jesus this morning i we worship you and you alone come together as one body just reminding this morning isaac six in the year that king Uzziah died i saw the Lord seated high on his throne it's the king Uzziah dying in the midst of crisis god's answer was not to open Isaiah's eyes to what was happening on the earth first but to actually show himself that he was seated on the throne that he was in control and even before we petition and intercede for it to be on earth as it is in heaven let's approach the throne of grace remembering that we are seated in heavenly places with christ that we boldly approach his throne and he is the king of kings and he is the lord of lords he rules and reigns and want to pray for israel out of isaac 62 for Zion's sake i will not hold my peace and for drusum's sake i will not rest until her righteousness goes forth as brightness and her salvation a lamp that burns at noonday verse six i've said watch when on your walls oh drusum they shall never hold their peace day or night you who make mention of the lord do not keep silence and give him no rest until he establishes and he makes drusum a praise in the earth what type of god says i don't want to rest what type of god says i'm willing to be patient and wait and listen for the prayers of my people where we stand before you almighty god the holy one of israel we stand before you alpha and omega beginning and end we come before your throne of grace lord did we lift up the city of drusum lord we lift up zion to you this morning lord this city that is in the midst it's grief and sorrow lord this city that's mourning for its children it's mourning for its mothers lord it's mourning for the elderly it's mourning for its slain lord at the same time they're watching not just the rising up but the full-on manifestation of anti-semitism rise throughout the earth lord and jesus i ask in this environment lord that you would manifest yourself to your people as the prince of peace jesus i ask in this time and in this moment lord all over the land of israel and all over jerusalem that you would manifest yourself lord i ask for your church in israel lord i ask for all who call on the name of the lord whether jew or gentile lord arab or westerner doesn't matter lord whoever calls upon your name lord in this city lord i ask lord that your hand would come upon them lord i ask that you even in the midst of this environment lord would send a revival to israel lord why not now well the nate well the eyes of the world gaze upon zion lord why not now to glorify your son jesus lord why not now to exalt the prince of peace and so lord we ask for boldness in this hour on your church lord we ask for prophetic foresight lord i ask for the willingness to lay down our lives for our jewish brothers and sisters lord courage to stand courage to not bow the knee to the prince of persia lord the spirit of the death lord that is at work lord courage to not bow the knee to the spirit of hayman lord courage to not bow the knee lord to culture's pressure that tries to bring allies and so discordant hate and violence in the earth god i ask lord while your eyes are looking upon jerusalem and locked upon this city oh lord that you would act on behalf of your people lord that you would not be silent lord that you would send a revival to israel lord i ask at this time lord that you would save jews in israel lord i ask for a proliferation of the gospel lord i ask for a wide door lord i ask that you would look upon the threats of your enemy that you would grant to your servants in israel boldness to speak the name of jesus that signs and wonders may be done in the name of your holy servant jesus lord we look not just for a political solution lord but we look also to heaven lord to send your spirit and send a revival to your people in israel lord we ask and we lift up the people of israel before you lord and we ask that you would exalt jesus in their midst even today in the name of jesus open up their eyes to see jesus jesus open up eyes to see you ask that you would act on behalf of jerusalem oh that you would run the heavens and come down that the mountains might shake at your presence as fire burns brush wood and fire causes water to boil that you may make your name known to your adversaries that the nations may tremble at your presence when you did awesome things over which we did not know you came down the mountain shook at your presence for since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the year nor has the eyes seen any god besides you who acts for the one who waits for him and so lord we lift up our eyes not to zion but we lift our eyes above the hills to where our help comes from it comes from you it comes from the throne it comes from the king of kings it comes from the ruler and the rain are the one who's taught our times are in his hand the one who turns the hearts of kings like water the one who has conquered every other ruler and kingdom lord to that king we ask would you run the heavens and come down lord that you would make your adversaries quake lord

Welcome to Newsdesk. I'm SiliconANGLE TV. For Wednesday, October 10th, 2012, I'm Kristen Folletti. Watch out, Larry Ellison. IBM is taking on Oracle with peer data appliances. What does IBM have in store for its nemesis? Here with his breaking analysis is Chief Wikibon Analyst, Dave Vellante. Welcome, Dave. Morning. In a move to compete with Larry Ellison and Oracle's Exadata appliance, IBM is expanding its line with a family of boxes called peer data. Can you give us some background on this new product line? Sure. Last year, IBM announced its pure systems. Actually, it was earlier this year. And this extends that line. It's basically IBM's play on converged infrastructure. IBM announced a general purpose version of the platform really to compete with VCE and Vblock and HP and NetApp. And also announced something called pure applications. And the implication was that they would be able to tune these systems and bring application specificity to these boxes. And that's really what the announcements yesterday were all about, the pure data, really bringing both transactional and analytics applications to the converged infrastructure play. Some IBM executives have joked in the press that this is the Exadata killer. It's interesting to note that the announcement's the week after Oracle open world. I will tell you, Kristen, that the similarities are greater than the differences between these two companies. Oracle has the red stack. IBM has the blue stack. Oracle ships its products with the Oracle database. IBM ships its products with the IBM databases, DV2 and the TZ databases, et cetera. IBM is somewhat more open than Oracle. It allows other people storage to attach to some of these systems. But in general, both companies are trying to essentially make the value proposition so attractive and compelling to users that they will go nowhere else. That's a euphemism for lock-in. And that's really the key customer consideration here. But the systems are appealing, both the Exadata and the IBM Pure Systems. They're appealing and alluring from the standpoint of they take away a lot of the mundane integration tasks that the customer has to do. And they come pre-packaged and pre-integrated, which makes them easier to install. And of course, IBM and others emphasize the time to value, the time to deploy applications is much, much faster. Oracle's co-founder and CEO, Larry Ellison, has said more than once that he wants Oracle to be like the IBM of the mainframe era. Can you tell us about IBM's strategy with Pure Systems and how it compares with Oracle's? Yeah, so of course, IBM and its heyday, Kristen, had about 50% of the industry's revenue and about 2 thirds of the industry's profits. Even Microsoft's monopoly was not that powerful from a relative standpoint. So basically, what Larry is saying is he essentially wants to have that market power the way that IBM had that market power. Really, the differences between these two companies are that IBM is really not approaching it as a one-size-fits-all. It really emphasizes horses for courses. Now, Oracle as well has its version of horses for courses. Horses of courses is of course a horse racing analogy where some race sources do well on certain race courses that maybe, for instance, have tight turns and others do well on ones that are wider turns. And so what IBM is stressing is that it's designing different products for different applications. Now, they'll attack Oracle in the sense that Oracle uses the same database essentially throughout its line, but Oracle does configure and tune its systems for different applications. It just uses the same basic database infrastructure whereas IBM will use DB2, for example, for transactional systems. It will use Netiza and an acquisition that it made in 2010 for other data warehousing applications. Essentially, what IBM announced yesterday is our systems that are transactional oriented, that's the DB2 version, and more data warehouse and analytics oriented in two versions of that system. One that can do thousands of transactions per second and queries per second rather, another one that can do many, many complex queries in seconds. So essentially three different product lines tuned for different applications really trying to attack Oracle's one size fits all approach. Where does IBM stand in the whole converged infrastructure play? So converged infrastructure is this new trend that we've been tacking since about 2009. Essentially what it does is preintegrate storage and servers and networking into a package, into a single block of infrastructure. Oracle was one of the early ones, certainly Netiza was there early and VCE was really the first to come out with a general purpose version of that type of system. And where IBM fits is it's playing both head-to-head competing with VCE with expert integrated systems, a general purpose system that combines storage, networking and servers, and it's competing with Oracle in the application business, both for transactional applications with DB2, its mainframe and now open systems database for transactions, as well as analytic and data warehousing applications. So IBM is playing in the entire stack from hardware all the way through applications, whereas companies like VCE and NetApp and to a large extent HP, not withstanding Vertica, are really competing for the infrastructure play. What does the competition between these two lines mean for customers? I think the choice for customers is not straightforward. On the one hand, you've got the allure of being able to take pre-packaged and integrated technology and drop it in and you don't have to do the integration yourself and that is very appealing. On the other hand, it is the mother of all lock-ins. Now, the other real, probably more important consideration for customers in our opinion at Wikibon is that the general purpose approach is more fungible. In other words, you can support more applications across the portfolio and even a role your own approach. For instance, buying an Oracle database, running it on an HP server and buying EMC or NetApp storage, best to breed the equipment that you can integrate on your own or with the help of a service provider. That type of infrastructure is going to allow you to support more applications across the infrastructure and ultimately could lead to a lower TCO over a longer period of time because you're going to get better return on assets because that infrastructure is more flexible. At the same time, if you really want to do one job well, these appliances are really catching on. I mean, think of knives, right? It's the Swiss Army knife versus the bread knife or the butter knife or the steak knife and that's really the trade-off and choices that customers have to make. What are the real goals for these peer data appliances? What capabilities do they need to have to truly stand out from their competitors? I think the real differentiation that IBM has that it emphasizes, it's bringing applications, expertise from its applications business and its services business and embedding that knowledge into the system. IBM markets smarter analytics, the smarter planet and it's trying to differentiate on that knowledge, trying to codify that knowledge into the system. Now it's the early days, but IBM does have templates that it loads into the system such that the system has the intelligence to configure itself and actually operate on the data in a way that is most effective. So that's IBM's primary differentiator. As well, another benchmark that we're watching is how well is IBM able to hold on to those existing, for instance, DV2 franchise and systems franchise. So this is both a defensive play to try to protect a large install base and an offensive play to really try to go after Oracle. How does Hadoop play into all of this? Well, we only heard a little bit of talk about Hadoop yesterday at the IBM announcement. Generally speaking, I would categorize it as follows. The traditional legacy companies, the database companies, the data warehousing companies would like us to believe that Hadoop is batch and they are really the real-time component of that. Now, IBM again is a little less dogmatic in that philosophy, but I think in general falls into that camp where it would like you to use Hadoop as the storage processing batch engine and then use its systems and its analytics and its Cognos and its data warehousing technologies to create real-time. Certainly Larry Ellison's demo at Oracle OpenWorld is of that ill. And so I think the fact of the matter is that Hadoop is growing, it's growing, probably orders of magnitude faster than the traditional database and traditional data warehouse business. And it's a reality that all companies are going to have to contend with. The philosophy or the approach that most have taken is to build connectors into Hadoop so that you can connect traditional legacy systems into Hadoop, pull the data out and do the processing through an ETL or a transform and load operation. There are others, for instance, like Hadaap that is coming to market and you'll hear more about this over the coming months, that is trying to bring both the traditional SQL database world and the Hadoop unstructured world together to a unified system. I've seen others talk about that as well, such as Otivio. So there are some emerging startups that are really trying to solve that problem and really trying to make real-time Hadoop a native capability. Well, Dave, we appreciate your time today. Thanks so much for joining us. My pleasure, thanks for having me, Kristin. Keep up to date with the latest in tech innovation by joining us daily at Newsdesk on SiliconANGLE.tv.


Hey guys, it's Nathan AK of the Foot Account and welcome back to the channel. It is a Sunday in FIFA Ultimate Team and that means we might be seeing our first guaranteed team of the season, SBC today in FIFA 20. Now it's probably gonna be the EFL guaranteed SBC but I wanna talk about this because this is gonna be a kind of like a theme that we're gonna see a lot over the next few weeks with these guaranteed times SBCs whether it's for the first league or for the second league. There's gonna be probably some panic selling heading into that SBC being dropped and they usually drop these on a schedule, right? Last year the schedule was the secondary team gets dropped on Sunday and the primary team gets dropped on Tuesday. So it's kind of a Sunday, Tuesday kind of timeframe. Also I wanna talk about where this market is headed because you're gonna see sort of a week and then sell off happening. Now some prices are already starting to go down. Some of the actual team the season cards are going down of course with more the lightning rounds yesterday, probably more lightning rounds today but one of the most crazy things happened today on a Saturday during the 100K lightning rounds. I think they didn't sell out on PlayStation which is crazy men. I know there's hype for team of the season but that also just goes to show for me that a lot of people are still waiting for the big league team of the season to start which will be next week. So I know there's still a lot of saved up packs we'll be talking about throughout that this week what that means for this coming Friday. But I do wanna talk about the week and the sell off these team of the season guaranteed SBCs and possible upgrade packs coming today. I think it's possible, right? I think if we are gonna get upgrade packs or maybe an icon SBC, today's there's a lot of potential today that really is Sundays on FIFA sometimes are pretty big for upgrade packs with icon SBCs, icon player SBCs, upgrade packs and the like. So we'll talk about that. I wanna take a look first of all at last year's EFL TOTS guaranteed because again, if there is any TOTS SBC that is a guaranteed one that's gonna come out today I think it would be the EFL because again, they usually release that second league first, right? Now last year this SBC was really cheap. It was an 83 rated squad, 60 chemistry and you had to have one player from England. Now, if you take a look at the actual EFL team of the season, it has to be cheap. This SBC has to be cheap and honestly it's probably not going to be worth it because how many cards in here are really worth packing? They're all basically fodder depending on their rating and there's a lot of cards that are like under 20,000 coins, which is probably the minimum that this SBC is gonna be costing, right? You have so many cards that are 15, 16, 17,000 coins you have your Tony, Clark Harris and Buendia are like the three cards out of this entire 15 and maybe Aaron's as well. So there's four cards out of the entire 15 that you really kinda wanna pack, right?   So the only reason I think that you would wanna do this today is if it is very cheap. If it really is 20,000 coins or less if you wanted to take the gamble, I mean it's only 5K less than 20K is gonna be your cheapest EFL Tots. So you're most likely not gonna pack something you wanna actually get but it might put if you have extra fodder or if you're gonna be opening upgrade packs then I mean this could be something you just do with the extra cards in your club. So that is something that you could do but I really don't think, you know for Buendia, for Tony, Clark Harris and Aaron's today those are probably gonna be the four hardest cards to pack out of this SBC and that's the one thing I wanna talk about a lot with these guaranteed SBCs when they do come out is you see a lot of panic selling as we actually get into that SBC being released. If I look it up here on foot bin I had it typed in as EFL. These SBCs right here, what happens is you see a lot of people panic sell their cards. So like when we get Tots community, whatever they might drop the guaranteed Tots community SBC today and I wanna talk about this market trend because this is huge, right?  But more likely than not, you're gonna be packing Areola, Keen, Golden, Eduard or Zeolinsky or Illasic. That's who you're most likely gonna be packing from these SBCs. So you see people panic selling the cards that they have in their team or that they have invested in into that day when the Tots guarantee is gonna come out and then you see people buy it right back. So there's a period of panic selling right when the SBC drops and even leading up into that SBC dropping and then a little bit later into the nighttime people didn't pack who they actually wanted to pack.  You see a big time on the high tier players, right?  So you're gonna see those prices dip and then you're gonna see them bounce back. So of course, make sure you identify which one if there's a card that you want for your team. You identify that price and say, hey, is this drop big enough for me to buy this and is there gonna be enough demand even if it just bounces back up to what it was when the SBC right before the SBC came out, is that enough room for profit or is it just considering tax and everything like that? But that is a common theme that we see with these guaranteed Tots SBCs. So we're gonna see that later on this week whenever they release the guaranteed community SBC, I don't know if you're really gonna see that much panic selling for the EFL Tots, I mean, Buendia, Tony, Clark and then Aaron's are kind of the only four cards that you maybe would see a little bit of panic selling on because those are the really only four hyped cards that are in that squad. So regardless of that though, I do think that is one SBC that we will see today. Now it was a quiet day yesterday. We had the Duvon Zapata SBC that was released, you know, really big time boost on this card, four star skill move upgrade as well. So he's four star, four star, he's got pace. His agility balance isn't that bad. 99 finishing is really, really awesome. 97 shot power and 96 strength. So very interesting looking card. He's flexing his muscles in the picture, bro.  So if this is your type of card, then GGs, it's coming in at like 110,000 coins. So it's very cheap, right? Very good value for a cheap card. And you kind of see two days in a row now of EA pushing a little bit of a Syria agenda with the Quesa Syria left mid and Zapata Syria strikers. So that's kind of interesting to see it right there with those two cards, with two Syria cards being released as SBC. So again, today on Sunday, I'm really feeling like we're gonna get one of those guaranteed TOTS SBCs, most likely the EFL. And then I do think there's a possibility for upgrade packs because Sundays have been the day when EA is releasing upgrade packs. A lot of people were saying, do I think they could release the 81 plus player picks today? I think there's a possibility of it because EA has been very generous this year with the 81 plus player picks. Now I wanna check gold rares. I'm gonna check Prem rares just to see where they're at. Are they still around a thousand coins? Prem rares are insta selling at a thousand coins which is still crazy. I think people are going massively unassigned to get Prem rares more often or more likely just because they wanna get those cards for the upgrade SBCs next week. Let me check like league one rares. How much are these? So it looks like Prem rares are the most expensive but you're probably gonna see rares rise a little bit in general just as we get, if we would get an 81 plus player pick SBC today because you know, people are gonna go out and they're gonna hammer that upgrade pack because yeah, you know what, there's gonna be, there's cards right now in this community tot squad that people are going to want to go pack. So I do think you would see these cards falling down even more today on Sunday with more lightning rounds, potential SBC content that can make people sell these cards to go interact with that SBC content and stuff like that. Now Valverde is 999,000 coins and this is another quick little market trend that I want you guys to keep watch out for the next few weeks on Saturday. So of course, Friday new promo comes out. We have whatever fluctuations we have with the cards. This Valverde went down to 900,000 coins late Friday night, rose back up to 1.07 and then he went back down right to round pre-content time. He was 920,930,000 coins on the PlayStation and he was 750,749 on the Xbox. Lightning rounds come out. Everybody sells on Saturday mornings. People that have these tots cards in their teams that are trying out for weekend league, the high tier cards, they usually get sold off right before Saturday lightning rounds because people think that they're gonna get supplied and all that and then what actually happens is the lightning rounds on Saturdays, they really don't supply these cards that much on the high tier. These cards mostly get supplied with saved up packs and the lightning rounds on Fridays. So what you see is the rare cards and the high tier ones, they bounce back. This Valverde went from 920,000 coins. He bounced back to actually 1.02, 1.03, about 15 minutes after the content dropped because people said, oh wow, they're not popping up on the market and I was supposed to buy during the lightning rounds, nothing's popping up, no new cards are coming out and they see the price starting to rise so it just becomes like a domino effect and everybody just goes out and buys the card buys the card and it shoots up really fast. So watch out especially for Premier League next Saturday. This is just a way ahead of time, a quick tip. Watch out for the panic selling into Saturday, the second day of the promo and then watch your rebound. Last year I did it with Team of the Season KDB. I bought him at like 3.9 million coins on Saturday and I sold him for like 4.25, literally like an hour later because people wanted to go buy that very rare card and try it on Weekend League and he shot up because people were selling him into content, he rebounded afterwards. So now granted it has to be a day where there's not a lot of content because if EA would drop some sort of huge SBC then maybe the card wouldn't bounce back as much. But speaking again of SBCs, I do feel like some upgrade SBC is coming today whether it's 81 plus player picks or some sort of upgrade pack. And then I also think if EA wanted to they could drop that icon attacker upgrade or some sort of icon SBC as well. It might be one of those where we see EA put out an icon SBC for an extended amount of time like a couple of weeks that is just kind of sitting there and available as upgrade packs are being opened and as people are having stuff in their clubs from opening lightning rounds, they've got players in their clubs, players in their teams and then EA is putting that SBC out there for people to go and to do, right? That's a common thing that we see is EA releasing a big icon upgrade SBC during a promo with upgrade packs to kind of just to have something there to rinse the cards out of a person's club if they want to have that. So again, speaking on the market though I made some huge, I mean I actually did the calculations today all these cards right here. We made some big, big coins in the past 24 to 36 hours. Actually I did the math 756,000 coins between all of these. Now there are a couple break-evens and a couple losses today. I bought this on stream at 112. I saw them sell at 112.6 but it was just kind of like in a panic buy, didn't recheck the price and I lost a little bit here on tax so I lost about 20K there but on all of this stuff this is a lot of stuff that I bought Friday night. I bought the 3.0 at 1.7. I bought a lot of flips Friday night into Saturday. I bought this at 8.50. I bought both those at 8.50. I like the low tier stuff the most. I bought 13 areolas on Friday night for between 82 to 85,000 coins and sold them at an average of about 95, 96K for most of these. So that was a huge W right there and of course the other random flips that we had too. So huge profit was made by myself on that Friday night and I think it was just the profit that we saw in the market movements that we saw with the stuff moving up a lot on the market. Now you can obviously see like this El Matador was I sold them at 5.60 earlier today on Saturday. He's back down to 4.97 so you're starting to see that weekend like sell off but a lot of coins entered the market with saved up packs being opened and that just of course people had to go out and they have to play the weekend league. They gotta get these games in because they have big time rewards on the line today in this week with team of the seasons being in reward. So that I think is why you saw the market bounce so big is because the injection of coins and also that demand for the weekend league and I think that's gonna be a common theme that you see over the next couple of weeks on Friday nights is I think you're gonna see the market go pretty high especially next week with Prem tots there's gonna be a really, really nice opportunity in my opinion to see the market go pretty high. Now I've got a snag and Ericsson card for the club I keep saying this, I let this go at 42K on bid I probably should have got that one. I wanna get a fresh Ericsson for the club to stock because this is the cheapest 80 real inform and of course Ericsson is my bro. So we need to get one of those into the club. It looks like I sold the store cop at the right time because he's down to one one. But anyways, there's gonna be coins to be made today. There really is gonna be opportunities on the market as you're watching the weekend league sell off there's gonna be opportunities to make coins. Now here's one card that I already saw drop on already and that is foot birthday for Lennemendi. 740,000 coins right now at the moment this guy was over 800K on the weekend league let's talk through this a little bit, right? If you're gonna try to make some coins today on a Sunday you saw that this car was between 800,000 coins and 740,750 yesterday on the PlayStation, right? Right now he's 740K, he's got three cards the 770, right? Kind of rare overnight in the nighttime market as well. Right now it is, I think right now it is 4 AM UK time if I'm doing my math correctly. So it's pretty late night, right? But I will say this, if you see big time undercuts on some of these rare out of pack special cards you know, I love looking at this Freeze Monet card. This guy moves around like crazy, right? He fluctuates a ton. You can see it was 848, he went back up to 945 even 960 on the PlayStation and right now he's 924. So on some of these rare out of pack specials that people are still gonna be looking to buy for their team if stuff gets too low and today like on Sunday I would 100% get involved with this stuff and if you wanna do a little bit of flipping it might be risky because it's gonna be hard to tell what the actual low point is and if there's enough demand to pick that price back up. But again, if it's a rare card in demand, popular item, excuse me, then I do think there's gonna be plenty of opportunities to flip today. Now I will say on the high tier market be very, very careful because I think a lot of people are gonna be knowing that hey, team of the season Premier League is coming this next week and they're gonna take that opportunity to sell a lot of their high tier cards. Now you guys know these prices are up from where they were last week, right? Last weekend's sell-off was absolutely insane. I don't know if you're remembering last week we saw Ronaldo was at 5.5 million coins. This Mbappe was at 4.2. I don't know if you're gonna see prices get that low again on the week in the sell-off today. Unless we see massive, massive sell-off I'm not expecting that big of a drop because I don't honestly think some of these prices are gonna get that low again. Like this Davies was 860K. He's 1.1 mil right now. Do I think Davies goes back to 860 this week? I doubt it, right? I doubt we see those huge drop-offs again but I think you will see people selling off some of their high tier icons this week especially today on Sunday. So 100% watch out for sell-off on some of these cards because I do think you will see that happening with of course those team of the season Premier League cards on the horizon. Now of course other special cards out of packs. One thing to note is this Holland card if you see him get low today this is a good little investment for later on in the week. If you see him hit like 320 or 330. He was 327 a couple hours ago. I missed that unfortunately. Holland and Dortmund got their fourth win in a row yesterday on Saturday. So this card is guaranteed to go to a 91 on Wednesday but also he scored two goals in that win. Now two goals for Holland would be like a, he's got so many special cards. So it's guaranteed to get that 91 rated upgrade but some people have been saying hey is it possible that he could get an inform and the plus one streak so he'll get a plus two to his headliner card on Wednesday. Now I don't know if that's ever happened before but I guess there's possibility for it. So just kind of keep an eye out. That could fly under the radar with all the team of the season stuff that's going on. So make sure you keep an eye on this card. That's one that I'm watching this week. Now I sold both the ones that I had today. I bought two of them earlier on Friday for 320K. I got them both out today for 347 and 350. So that is a W there. And again, I would say if you're watching specific cards in the sell off today, I would 100% be watching on Premier League, right? Premier League cards, if you wanna make an early investment, Premier League cards are gonna be used heavily to link stuff that would be coming out as team of the season cards later on this week. So watch out for some of your meta tots cards, right? We're gonna get a lot of attackers in tots Premier League. We're gonna get a lot of, you know, maybe some right backs, center backs. It's really gonna be tough to know what cards are gonna do the best as links to the Premier League tots cards. But I will say this, if somebody is like 100% guaranteed to get a team of the season, probably like Shunmin Sun, right? Should be getting a team of the season from Tottenham in the main squad on Friday for Prem tots. You know, you could watch out for the Sun card, but especially if a card has a really high tier item, you know, like maybe a team of the year, I'd be careful with some of those cards because you might have additional sell off coming. Now a team of the season Sun cards are gonna be like 95 rated, might be a striker card, who knows if they do position change, and it's not really gonna affect this version of Sun, right? This version of Sun might actually go up. The bottom line of what I'm saying is, watch out for your Premier League specials because I do think that this week they will have an opportunity to rise up a little bit as links to the team of the season cards that will be coming out. So just kind of maybe start to do a little bit of research, watch some cards and say, hey, is this guy getting a tots? If he is, you know, maybe you take a little bit of the extra speculation in on that. But you know, somebody like that Frieze Manne who I mentioned, or Gabriel Jesus, probably not getting a tots card, but still a Premier League card in this game that has, wow, this was 530K earlier today, he's now back to 600K. There's another flip potential right there. But you know, a card like this would be one that people might try to use to link together with their brand new tots cards coming this Friday. So that's kind of one thing I would keep an eye on as well, is that if you do see Panic on the Prem, team of the season, or Prem specials in this game, that could be a place to get involved. But again, watch for the sell-off today, watch for the drops, it's gonna be, you know, you'll have to pick your spots very carefully, but you will see prices dropping and you will see potential areas to trade on this game today on Sunday. So that's kind of the video for today boys. Again, I do think we will get some sort of guaranteed tots SBC today. Not sure about a player, possibly an icon SBC, and I think some sort of upgrade pack should be in line for today. I feel like it'd be kind of an L if EA's been releasing upgrade packs for almost every promo this year, if they didn't do it for this team of season community, that would be a bit disappointing. So those are my thoughts today for the market boys. Watch the sell-off, all that good stuff, trade at your own risk if you do wanna get involved with any of that, and should be a good Sunday. Good luck finishing your weekend league games as well, getting a high rank for those weekend league picks.
