Hello, and welcome to the Fort Report, I'm Alicia Woodruff, and I'm Chris Connolly. The season of the summer blockbuster is closing in, Chris, and I know you are a movie buff. Have you seen the summer movies yet? Only one so far. I wanted it to have a Norse god with an otherworldly hammer in it that could summon lightning, but my wife wanted to see the one about girls fighting about wedding plans. And it was packed. Well, you don't have to be elbow to elbow in a crowded theater this summer. I was invited to come enjoy Summertime's Ultimate Theater Under the Stars experience, right here in the heart of downtown Fort Worth. Bring along a blanket or chair, and grab a spot on the Chisholm Trail parking lot. There will be four outdoor movie nights this summer, and you can find out the list at SundanceSquare.com slash events. Whatcha got cookin' day camp? Excuse me? I guess you didn't hear me. Whatcha got cookin' day camp? Wink, wink, nice, nice, stayin' them all. Whatcha got cookin' day camp is a camp at the Log Cabin Village to teach 4th through 8th graders what cooking was like before gas and electric stoves and microwaves. You're reading it like a bad pickup line. It screamed for it. Now to me, now to me, nice, nice, nice, now to me, sign them all, now to me. I'm beggin' buddin'. But in all seriousness, the camp is June 9th at 9am. Campers will prepare 19th century food with fellow campers and learn recipes to try at home. For more information or reservations, go to logcavinvillage.com. Fort Worth is proud to be known for having both cowboys and culture. Each spring, people across the U.S. descend upon Fort Worth to experience one of the country's premier opera events, the Fort Worth Opera Festival. You're speaking like you know something about it. Well, I don't just go to screenings of the movies, I've been to their performances of La Giaconda and La Bohème. Hmm, well alright then. And don't be fooled by the stereotypes. You won't be seeing any fat lady Vikings at this event, and no, you don't have to speak Italian. This event features English super titles above the stage. To find out this summer's performances, you can visit www.fwopera.org. Chris, this is a second surprise for you today. I didn't figure you for the intellectual type. Well, Alicia, I always take part in the Mayor's Summer Reading Challenge. It is open to all ages. Hmm, well, it's nice to see you doing something productive. Each child is looked upon as an individual whose reading habits are in the formative period. Chris is right. The challenge is open to all ages, and it encourages residents to read as much as they can to win prizes and to participate in great programs. It's all centered around this year's theme, Deep in the Heart of Texas, emphasizing heart-healthy lifestyles in addition to an activity that should be close to every Texan's heart, reading. The challenge takes place from May 21st to July 31st. You can get started by visiting any Fort Worth library branch after Saturday, May 21st to pick up a reading card. Wait a minute, let me see that. It's still literature. I'm not ashamed.


Good morning and welcome back to theCUBE where we are excited to be broadcasting live all week from Detroit to Michigan at kubecon slash cloud native con depending on who you're asking. Lisa, it's day two, things are buzzing, how are you feeling? Good, excited, ready for day two, ready to have more great conversations to see how this community is expanding, how it's evolving and how it's really supporting itself. Yeah, yeah, this is a very supportive community, something we talked a lot about. And speaking of community, we've got some very bold and brave folks over here. We've got the CTO and the head of product from Stormforge and they are on a mission to automate Kubernetes. Now, automatic and Kubernetes are not words that go in the same sentence very often. So please welcome Patrick and Yasmin. Thank you both for being here, hello, how are you today? Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. Talk about what you guys are doing, because as you said, Kubernetes auto-styling is anything but auto. What are some of the challenges? How do you help? Yeah, so the mission at Stormforge is primarily automatic resource configuration and optimization essentially. So we started as a machine learning company first and it's kind of an interesting story because we're one of those startups that has pivoted a few times. And so we were running our machine learning workloads. Most have, I think. Right, yeah, we started out running our machine learning workloads and moving them into Kubernetes. And then we weren't quite sure how to correctly adjust and size our containers. And so our ML team, we've got three PhDs in applied mathematics. They said, well, hang on, we could write an algorithm for that. And so they did. Oh, I love that. Yeah, and then we said, well, holy cow, that's actually really useful. I wonder if other people would like that. And that's kind of where we got our start. You solved your own problem and then you built a business around it. Yeah, exactly. That is fantastic. Is that driving product development at Stormforge still that kind of attitude? I mean, that kind of attitude definitely drives product development, but we're balancing that with what the users are, the challenges that they have, especially at large scale, we deal with a lot of large enterprises. And for us as a startup, we can relate to the problems that come with Kubernetes when you're trying to scale it. But when you're talking about the scale of some of these larger enterprises, it's just a different mentality. So we're trying to balance that of how we take that input into how we build our product. Talk about that, the end user input and how you're taking that in, because of course, it's only going to be more of a symbiotic relationship when that customer feedback is taken in and acted on. Yeah, totally. And for us, because we use machine learning, it's a lot of building confidence with our users. So making sure that they understand how we look at the data, how we come up with the recommendations and actually deploy those changes in their environment. There's a lot of trust that needs to be built there. So being able to go back to our users and say, okay, we're presenting you this type of data, give us your feedback and building it alongside them has helped a lot in these relationships. Absolutely. You said the word trust and that's something that we talk about at every show. I was going to jump on that too, yeah. Yeah, it's not a buzzword. It shouldn't be. It really should be, I want to say lived and breathed, but that's probably grammatically incorrect. Well, not a grammar show. It's okay, Darryl. Thank you. It should be truly embodied. Yeah, and I think it's not even unique to just what we do, but across tech in general, right? Like when I talk about SRE and building SRE teams, one of the things I mentioned is you have to build that trust first. And with machine learning, I think it can be really difficult too for a couple of different reasons. Like one, it tends to be a black box. If it's actually true machine learning, which ours is, but the other piece that we run into, yeah, and the other piece we run into though is I was an executive at UnitedHealth Group before I joined StormForge and I would get companies that would come to me and try to sell me machine learning and I would kind of look at it and say, well, no, that's just a basic decision tree or like that's a super basic whole Twitter forecast, right? Like that's not actually machine learning. And that's one of the things that we actually find ourselves kind of battling a little bit when we talk about what we do in building that trust. Talk a little bit about the latest releases. You guys had a very active September. Here we are in towards the, I think, end of October. What are some of the new things that have come out, new integrations, new partnerships? Give us a scoop on that. Yeah, well, I guess I'll start and then I'll probably hand it over to you. But like the big thing for us is we talked about automating Kubernetes in the very beginning, right? Like Kubernetes has got a VPA. It's got- Just a wild sentence anyway. Yeah, it has- I'm not going to get over it the whole show. Yeah. It has a VPA built in, it has an HPA built in and when you look at the data and even when you read the documentation from Google, it explicitly says never the two should meet, right? Because you'll end up crashing and they'll fight each other. Well, the big release we just announced is with our machine learning, we can now do both. And so we can vertically scale your pods to the correct size. That's a shoulders off. Yeah, right. Power status, I love that. Yeah, we can scale your pods to the correct size and still allow you to enable the HPA and will make recommendations for your scaling points and your thresholds on the HPA as well so that they can work together to really, truly maximize your efficiency. But without sacrificing your performance and your reliability of the applications that you're running. That sounds like a massive differentiator for Stormforce. I would say it is. Yeah, I think as far as I know, we're the first in the industry that can do this. Yeah. And from a customer- It feels like very singularity vibes too. Yeah, right. You know, the machines are learning, teaching themselves and doing it all automatically. Yep. Gets me very excited. Yeah, absolutely. And from a customer demand perspective, what's the feedback been? Yeah. It's been a few weeks. Yeah, it's been really great actually. And a lot of why we went down this path was user driven because they're doing horizontal scale and they want to be able to vertically size as they're scaling. So if you put yourself in the shoes of someone that's configuring Kubernetes, you're usually guessing on what you're setting your CPU requests and limits to, but horizontal scale makes sense. You're either adding more things or removing more things. And so once they actually are scaled out as a large environment and they have to rethink, how am I going to resize this now? It's just not possible. It's so many thousands of settings across all the different environments. And you're only thinking about CPU and memory. You're not thinking about a lot of things. But once you scale that out, it's a big challenge. So they came to us and said, okay, you're doing, because we were doing vertical scaling before and now we enable vertical and horizontal. And so they came to us and said, I love what you're doing about rightsizing but we want to be able to do this while also horizontally scaling. And so the way that our software works is we give you the recommendations for what the settings should be and then allow Kubernetes to continue to add and remove replicas as needed. So it's not like we're going into making changes to Kubernetes, but we make changes to the configuration settings so that it's the most optimal from a resource perspective. Efficiency has been a real big theme of the show. And it's clear that that's a focus for you. Everyone here wants to do more faster, of course, in innovation. That's the thing. To do that, sometimes we need partners. You just announced an integration with Datadoc. Tell us about that. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so the way our platform works is we need data, of course, right? So they're a great partner for us. And we use them both as an input and an output. So we pull in metrics from Datadoc to provide recommendations and we'll actually display all those within the Datadoc portal because we have a lot of users that are like, look, Datadoc's my single pane of bus and I hate using that word. But they get all their insights there. They can see their recommendations and then actually go deploy those whether they want to automatically have the recommendations deployed or go in and actually push a button. So give me an example of a customer that is using the new release and some of the business outcomes they're achieving. I imagine one of the things that you're enabling is just closing that Kubernetes skills gap but from a business level perspective, how are they gaining like competitive advantages to be able to get products to market faster, for example? Yeah, so one of the customers that was actually part of our press release and launch and spoke about us at a webinar, they are a SaaS product and deal with really bursty workloads. And so their cloud costs have been growing 40% year over year. And their platform engineering team is basically enabled to provide the automation for developers in their environment but also to reduce those costs. So they want to, it's that trade off of resiliency and cost performance. And so they came to us and said, look, we know we're over provision but we don't know how to tackle that problem without throwing tons of humans at the problem. And so we worked with them and just on a single app found 60% savings and we're working now to kind of deploy that across their entire production workload but that allows them to then go back and get more out of the budget that they already have and they can kind of reallocate that in other areas. Right, so there can be chocolate and bottom line impact. And I think there's some really direct impact to the carbon emissions of an organization as well. That's a good point. Like when you can reduce your compute consumption by 60%. I love this, we haven't talked about this at all during the show yet.  All of the things that power this use energy. What is it like 7% to 8% of all electricity in the world is consumed by data centers? Like it's crazy. And so like- That's wild. Yeah, so being able to make a reduction in impact there too especially with organizations that are trying to sign green pledges and everything else. It's hard. Yeah, ESG initiatives are huge. Absolutely, lots of whole vibe. A lot of companies have ESG initiatives where they can't even go out and do an RFP with a business if they don't have an actual, active, impactful ESG program. Yes. In the RFPs that we have to fill out, we have to tell them how they'll help. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I was really struck when I looked on your website and I saw 54% average cost reduction for your cloud operations. I hadn't even thought about it from a power perspective. Imagine if we cut that to 3% of the world's power grid. That is just, that is very compelling. Speaking of compelling and exciting future things, talk to us about what's next. What's got you pumped for 2023 and what lies ahead? Oh man, well that seems like a product conversation for sure. Well, we're super excited about extending what we do to other platforms, other metrics. So we optimize a lot right now around CPU and memory, but we can also give people insights into limiting umkills, limiting CPU throttling. So extending the metrics and when you look at HPA in horizontal scale, today most of it is done with CPU but there are some organizations out there that are scaling on custom metrics. So being able to take in more data to provide more recommendations and kind of extend what we can do from an optimization standpoint. That's, yeah, that's cool. And what has you most excited on the show floor? Anything that you've seen, any keynotes? There's, well I haven't had a lot of time to go to the keynotes unfortunately, but it's- Well I'm shocked, you've been busy or something? Yeah, right? You haven't watched your time here? I can't imagine why, but no, it's really interesting to see all the vendors that are popping up around Kubernetes focused specifically with security is always something that's really interesting to me and automating CICD and how they continue to dive into that automation. DevSecOps continues to be a big thing for a lot of organizations, yeah. I do, I think it's interesting when we were, were you guys here last year? I was not here, no. So at the smaller version of this in Los Angeles, I was really struck because there was still a conversation of whether or not we were all in on Kubernetes as kind of a community and a society this year, and I'm curious if you feel this way too, everyone feels committed. I feel like there's no question that Kubernetes is the tool that we are going to be using. Yeah, I think so, and I think a lot of that is actually being unlocked by some of these vendors that are being partners in helping people get the most out of Kubernetes. Especially at the larger enterprise organizations, like they want to do it, but the skills gap is a very real problem. And so figuring out, like Gassman talked about, figuring out how do we optimize or set up the correct settings without throwing thousands of humans at it, never mind the fact, you'll never find a thousand people that want to do that all day every day, right? That was because it's a bold endeavor for those who were starting right. And being able to close some of those gaps, whether it's optimization, security, DevOps, CICD, as we get more of those partners like I just talked about on the floor, then you see more and more enterprises being more open to leaning into Kubernetes a little bit. Yeah, we've had some great conversations the last day and today as well with organizations that are history companies, like Ford Motor Company, for example, just right behind us with one of their EVs. And they're becoming technology companies that happen to do cars or- Home Depot is here. Home Depot is here, and I traveled with them this morning. I'm just with that storyline, honestly. We now have such a different lens into these organizations. How they're using technologies, advanced technologies, Kubernetes, et cetera, to really become data companies because they have to be. The consumers on the other end expect a Home Depot or a Ford or whomever or your bank to know who you are. I want the information right here whenever I need it so I can do the transaction I need.  Yeah, and we partner with a lot of big FinTech companies and it's very much that. It's like, how do we continue to optimize? But then as they look at transitioning off of older organizations and capabilities, whether that's they have a physical data center that's racked to the gills and they can't do anything about that. So they want to move to cloud or they're just dipping their toe into even private cloud with Kubernetes in their own instances. A lot of it is how do we do this, right? Like how do we lean in and yeah. Yeah. Well, I think you said it really well that the debate seems to be over in terms of do we go in on Kubernetes? That was a theme that I think we felt that yesterday even on day one of the keynotes, the community seems to be just craving more. I think that was another thing that we felt yesterday was all of the contributors and the collaborators, people want to be able to help drive this community forward because it's a flywheel of symbiosis for all of the vendors here, the maintainers and really businesses in any industry can benefit. Yeah, it's super validating. I mean, if you just look at the floor, there's like 20 different booths that talk about cost reporting for Kubernetes. So not only have people move, but now they're dealing with those challenges at scale. And I think for us it's very validating because there's so many vendors that are looking into the reporting of this and showing you the problem that you have and then where we can help is, okay, now you know you have a problem, here's how we can fix it for you. Yeah, that sort of dealing with challenges at scale that you said, I think that's also what we're hearing and seeing and feeling on the show floor. Yeah, absolutely. What do folks see and touch and feel in your booth? We have some demos there. You can play around with the product. We're giving away a Lego set. So we've got to get that. I think right now we're going to get some Lego. We do a swag segment at the end of the day every day now. We have some cool socks. Socks are hot. Let's actually talk about scale internally as our closing question. What's going on at StormForge? If someone's watching right now, they're excited. Are you hiring? We are hiring. Yeah, how can they stalk you? What's the scoop? Absolutely. So you can check us out on stormforge.io. We're certainly hiring across the engineering organization. We're hiring across the UX, a product organization. We're dealing, like I said, we've got some really big customers that we're working through with some really fun challenges and we're looking to continue to build on what we do and do new, innovative things. Like especially because like I said, we are a machine learning organization first. And so for me, it's like, how do I collect all the data that I can? And then let's find out what's interesting in there that we can help people with. Whether that's CPU memory, custom metrics, like Yasmin said, preventing oomkills, driving availability, reliability. What can we do to kind of make a little bit more transparent the stuff that's going on underneath the covers in Kubernetes for the decision makers in these organizations? Yes, transparency is a goal of many. Yeah, absolutely. Well, and you mentioned fun. If this conversation is any representation, it would be very fun to be working on both of your teams. We have a lot of fun. Yasmin and Patrick, thank you so much for joining us. Lisa, as usual, thanks for being here with me. My pleasure. Thank you to all of you for turning into the cubes live show from Detroit. My name is Savannah Peterson and we'll be back in a few.


Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay. I have 30 Bread and butter Bolo's coming your way. These are items that I sold on eBay for 35 dollars or less And I will tell you the small sales all add up So actually the first item I'm gonna tell you about I put in my cart at the Goodwill bins and I meant to take it back out after I comped it for some reason after I comped it Instead of putting it back into the bins. I put it back into my cart But you know what it sold I made money and I'm gonna tell you about it. So Just kind of a funny little start to the video. Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching be sure to like comment subscribe and share and Again, these items sold for 35 dollars or less. That is what I call my bread and butter I am gonna tell you where I got it what I paid for it and what it sold for I also have big money Bolo videos where I share with you my high dollar sales So you can check out those but they're on another video So let's get started with the easier to find bread and butter items. All right, let's get started Okay So the first item is the item I was telling you about So I was at the bins and again, I was like, oh, this is sealed It's got to have good comps. It's sailed sealed right learning Spanish. So Like I said, I meant to take it out of my cart and put it back in I I'm gonna guess this was probably in the two dollar range Because at the Goodwill bins it is by weight and this guy was pretty heavy So I ended up selling it for 13 dollars and 50 cents not a huge sale, but two dollars and two 1350 is not awful. The buyer was all in for 17 dollars and 51 cents with tax and shipping The next item I sold came out of a mystery box. So if you're not familiar With my other channel sourcing with Bolo buddies. I do a lot of unboxings over there of mystery boxes that I pick up at thrift stores and This was one of the toys that came out of the box. So it's really really cool It's learned to dress play boards and this really was in It was excellent used condition. I'm not sure if it was ever used But because I didn't know and I was not the original owner. I did market as used it wasn't sealed So I'm assuming it was just lightly played with I sold this for 14 dollars and the buyer was all in for 2624 so I did take a best offer on that item the next item. All right, you guys hats They can be all over the place They can range from bread and butter to big money and I got to tell you when I picked up these hats I bought a whole bag full at a garage sale and I wasn't sure if they were gonna be big money or bread and butter I paid one price for all of them I don't even recall what the price was but I'm guessing I had 25 cents to 50 cents per hat By the time it was all said and done now this one is a strap back So I kind of had a feeling that it wasn't gonna be worth a whole lot But you just never know because it was a vintage mellow yellow hat I ended up selling this for 14 dollars and 99 cents and the buyer paid shipping The next item a long time ago and I have a video on it I parted out a ninja turtles play set now some of the items sell quickly Some of the items are very long tail. It just depends. You really need the right buyer for this item So I put this play set together I watched a YouTube video to put the play set together I got it at a garage sale and I was hoping it was gonna be complete Well, I got the thing together and it was not complete and I'm like, okay I've done all of this work now. I'm gonna take it apart and I'm gonna sell the parts individually. So That's what I ended up doing. This is the ooze pipe. It's like a funnel that goes to the play set I ended up selling this for a best offer of eight dollars and the buyer paid shipping now Could I have held out for the entire 1147? I'm gonna say yes but the offer came in I've had it a while and I've already made my money back like Majorly with the other items that I've sold and I still have items left I mean when you part out a big play set, I part out the floor. I part out everything Well, I don't I think I gave the floors to my consignment girl. I don't know if they ever got listed But anyway, most of it I don't like the really big stuff and the floor base was really really big But in hindsight, I wish I would have just listed it But all the small parts and even the medium-sized parts I definitely listed those if you want to see that video. It is somewhere on this channel The next item I sold is this frozen Elsa on a reversible topsy-turvy flip doll and It is a Disney parks doll. So it's really one doll But what I did is I put it into three Photos so you can actually see that What that it's reversible? I don't know. I thought that was kind of a cool way to show it And I ended up selling this for $17 and 24 cents and the buyer paid shipping. I Honestly, I've had two or three of these that I have sold or had listed And I am not sure where I got it. I typically pick up my plush for a dollar or less The next item I sold is this Paul patrol It's Marshall the fire ambulance pup and he's the red guy And he sold for $11 and 25 cents. The buyer was all in for 18 30 Now I ended up grabbing this at a thrift store in a bundle So I've got about 50 cents in this but you guys you can find these all the time at garage sales I will say people have a tendency to price them a little high So you have to wait for the right price. You don't want to overpay because they're usually just a bread and butter item The next item I picked this up. I thought maybe my husband would want it But he did not so I listed it and it actually sold super quick. I paid a dollar for it at a garage sale And it ended up selling for Best offer of 10 at the buyer was all in for 14 93. So it's a Timex men's iron man triathlon replacement watch band and I it was new and new old stock in OS The next item I sold is a very very Small bread and butter meaning it did not sell for much I Sold this for $7 and 50 cents. The buyer was all in for 12. This is a very small little toy Now the reason I listed this is it's safari LTD. I've never seen anything like it I felt like somebody is gonna want this toy and they did now I bought this in a bundle of toys that may have been a mystery box So I probably had pennies in this so to me pennies into $7 and 50 cents It's worth it. Now, could I be listing a big money below and not this? Yes, but I like to Have lots of options in my store to bring buyers in and hopefully, you know, have them look at other items The next item I sold is this Lego Apple brick set the brick Apple It's from 2010. So it's new old stock and I got this out of a mystery box actually It was pretty exciting and I sold this for $33 and 75 cents. The buyer was all in for 42 70 The next item, okay This was a part of my thrift five and 15 and if you guys haven't checked out that video It was a collab that I put together with a bunch of other YouTubers and we all had to go into a thrift store 15 minutes five items and it was super fun. So if you put hashtag thrift Five in 15 into the YouTube search bar. It will pull up those other videos This was one of my items, but it it had some other items with it It was a house and then some other stuff, but you can check that out in the video, but I sold this for $15 and the buyer was all in for 2316 and my cost of goods by the time I parted it out was probably about a dollar The next item is this Disney store Alice in Wonderland So I went to a garage sale and there was a bunch of Disney store plush I ended up paying four dollars for this which I don't normally pay four dollars for my plush but I wanted these dolls because they are Princesses and I think there was tinkerbell and then some rare ones it ended up all By the time I added it up and parted it out It was like four bucks each, but some of them are bigger money than others This one ended up selling for 22.50, which is not too bad. That's still good margins And the buyer was all in for 28 90 The next item I sold is this vintage 1983 mcdonald's cup and I sold this for 11 25 The buyer was all in for 1712 with tax and shipping And the bummer part is I had another one and I went to open it And I cracked it So, um, I only got to list one I got this at an estate sale and I do have footage of that estate sale on my sourcing with boat It says estate sale on the title it's either on this channel or my sourcing with volo buddies I think it's over on my sourcing with volo buddies channel But it was an awesome estate sale and it was kind of like a locally run one So it You know sometimes when you go to an actual estate sale that's ran by a company They're really like fancy Nothing was priced at this sale that I remember. I just bundled everything and they gave me a price So I probably had I don't know less than a dollar in this The next item is this longerburger bud vase. It's pottery and it's just a small vase And right here. I have it beside a tape measure. So almost seven inches and I sold this for 14 dollars and 99 cents I picked it up at a garage sale. I think it was either two or three dollars I had a burgundy one and it sold much quicker and I think it sold for more Uh, the buyer was all in for 26 dollars and 59 cents with tax and shipping The next item I sold is this coach black leather replacement hang tag charm for a purse There are two here only one has the chain This came out of a dibble box that I bought off of donatella bottolino A dibble box is a dibble bit of this and a dibble bit of that. It's basically a reseller box But I happened to buy a it was kind of like a men's Ah, let's see. I want to call. Yeah a man's box There were items in it that I wanted for my husband Let's put it that way and that's what really made me want this box and I wanted my husband to do a video So I'm like I'll buy him a box and then I'll make him unbox it with me So that is over on my sourcing with bolo buddies channel. My husband and I unboxed this I told him he could have whatever he wanted and he um He ended up giving me some stuff to sell but he did keep quite a bit like he didn't want the coach charms So I ended up selling these for 14.99 plus shipping and um donatella bottolino and auctions for you that is where I buy my mystery boxes and my Not the unboxings that I do from the thrift store. These are separate these they're either called a dibble box or I'll tell you it's from auctions for you But um, I've gotten some great inventory. So definitely check them out. I do have them linked below The next item is this mixed lot of zoo and farm animal minifigures and I picked these up Oh, I can't remember. I think this might have been like multiple places and I just threw things in a tote and then I was like putting all the animals together. I do that a lot So it's probably a bunch of places, but I probably don't have much in it Sold it for 14.99 and the buyer paid shipping The next item I sold is this linux gold accented hummingbird trinket box and honestly you guys I do not recall where I got this Um, I have been putting it in the skew area to help me remember Uh for when I do my videos, but for some reason I did not have this one marked So it ended up selling for $13.50 and the buyer was all in for 20 37 The next item also came from that estate sale. There was a ton of mcdonald's stuff Um, there are probably a lot of items that I passed on that I should have picked up I know in the comments of the video people were like you should have got this and I'm like, ah, you know, but I have so much inventory But I did pick up these suspenders. These were damaged. Um, I can't remember. I had two pair one were damaged One was damaged. One was not. I think the other one is still listed Um, I do have those priced a little higher. So this sold for 18 75 the buyer was all in for 2507 This cast iron horse came from a garage sale. It was kind of like a bundle buy So I probably have about a dollar in it. I sold this for 22 49 and the buyer paid shipping The next item came out of a mystery box It was a vintage toy box and it came from auctions for you. I was telling you about that her and donatella Do um, they're selling events. They go back and forth on each other's channel So make sure you sub to both of them And I know you guys that are already subbed to them and already go to their auctions and they're selling events are probably like Oh, I already know about it. Quit telling people. But anyway, um, I sold this for 18 dollars The buyer was all in for 24 86. Um, I always say there is enough to go around. I mean, there is inventory everywhere So you just have to find what you like to source and I really enjoy sourcing from them because I always learn so much and I make a lot of money. So All right, the next item. Okay, this just goes to show you that not all single stitch t-shirts are big money This is kind of embarrassing. So I was kind of like, oh, it's a single stitch, you know And it says living on the edge. So that's uh sting, right the band sting And I was a little bit like I might have a bolo here and it's made in the usa But you guys this thing did not want to sell at all Um, I finally sold it for seven dollars and 49 cents and the buyer was all in for 13 88 And maybe I should have like washed it and dried it and got the wrinkles out That probably would have been a good idea, but I didn't So I was being a lazy reseller. All right, this vintage halloween dimensions iron on transfer These iron on transfers are typically long tail, but if you can get them cheap They don't take up much room. They're easy to list. They're great bread and butter Especially like things with halloween or christmas or something different that's collectible This one I sold for a best offer of 10 the buyer was all in for 15 20.  I'm just going to list it really quick and I listed it individually and it ended up selling Uh, major bread and butter for six dollars and 75 cents and the buyer paid shipping But when you add in tax and shipping the buyer paid 11 dollars and 70 cents For a little dollhouse cake Yeah, so Worth it or not worth it. Let me know what you think in the comments The next item is this cranium caribou game for replacement balls. Okay, you guys So I did a whole video telling you how I parted out this caribou game If you go over to my reseller testing products channel You can check out that video.

I can't remember exactly kind of like a pulley type deal The next item, okay This is nicolodian paul patrol and you saw the one before that was marshal and his vehicle This is just writer He is the like main character that takes care of the dogs and tells them what to do. He's like the boss um I I don't think I've ever I'm trying to think there may be Okay, I take that back because I went to a garage sale the other day And I was looking at a set and there was a guy on a train And I'm like, is this paul patrol and they're like, yeah, and I'm like I've never seen this guy, but this is the guy you always see with the paul patrol now I will tell you he comes in different outfits This is a rare outfit. I shouldn't say maybe rare, but a harder to find outfit I'm not sure which place that it goes with but um, I love selling paul patrol.

I don't know. I just always pick it up when I see it um I actually bought like a really big set from the thrift store. I just could not walk away from it and I I didn't want to sell it because It was going to be a pain to actually ship It probably definitely would have been a bolo, but um, it was from the 80s And I messaged my sister and i'm like do you want this because it was kind of like Big stuff that you could put like mashed potatoes in and put a turkey on and stuff like that and she's more of the The cook she's the cook more than me.
