[0:00] - What the hell is a Mercari?
[0:02] It sounds like my Mercury Cougar
[0:05] that I used to drive in the year 2011.
[0:07] However, this is a site
[0:09] that purports to give you some great deals
[0:12] on tech, collectibles, and more.
[0:14] I've actually used Mercari in the past,
[0:16] but only the Japanese version.
[0:18] So, let's see what's like
to use the global version.
[0:20] I'm also buying Pokemon cards
in case that wasn't clear.
[0:23] Okay, Mercari is a
peer-to-peer sales platform.
[0:25] While we work diligently to
facilitate your transaction,
[0:27] it's important for buyers
[0:28] to perform their own due diligence.
[0:30] No, I don't wanna do due, do,
due, due, due, do, dili...
[0:35] A leotard. I do need a leotard.
[0:37] It's like new, which is the
way I prefer my leotards.
[0:41] Ooh.
[0:43] An iMac G3, now we talking boys.
[0:45] Honestly, I don't like the haggle,
[0:47] but I am almost open to anything.
[0:51] Tons of floppy discs. I
keep seeing sold listings.
[0:54] Why are you showing me sold
listings? I don't care.
[0:56] Okay, so a 2016 MacBook Pro,
[1:00] it's hard to recommend
these older MacBooks
[1:02] just because they're no
longer supported by macOS.
[1:04] That being said though,
[1:05] dedicated GPU, touch bar, decent battery.
[1:08] How about gaming? I wanna do some gaming.
[1:11] A white PS Vita for $450? Brother, chill.
[1:14] I'll say these prices are not good.
[1:17] Although a PS One complete in box, sealed,
[1:22] I mean $900 is an
extortion amount of money.
[1:26] I mean, I shouldn't do that, right?
[1:27] Tyler, The Creator themed face plates.
[1:31] - [Ken] Oh god.
[1:33] - What in the hell is a
Nintendo Radio Boy? Excuse me.
[1:37] It looks kind of fake,
[1:38] but also in a way that '90s
products kinda looked weird.
[1:40] There's no way that's a real thing.
[1:41] Fortnite coach. Oh god, not again.
[1:44] I am mediocre at Fortnite
and you can be too.
[1:49] A Creative Blaster PCI modem.
[1:52] Boy, I'm getting a little
tingly thinking about it.
[1:55] All right, so with that my friends,
[1:56] I think we have plenty of items
to take a closer look to see
[2:00] is Mercari actually worth it?
[2:03] Welcome back, my friends.
[2:05] So, buying stuff from Mercari
[2:06] was a little bit of an adventure,
[2:08] mostly because half the stuff I found
[2:10] was overpriced and boring.
[2:13] So, I did what any good YouTuber would do
[2:15] and found the weird stuff.
[2:18] We have another package with
a separate UPS label on it.
[2:22] All right, we have my
friends, the Radio Boy.
[2:26] - [Alex] Ooh.
- This is, supposedly,
[2:29] an international Nintendo
licensed product.
[2:33] This is still sealed in the original box.
[2:36] It is a Game Boy themed
radio. Does that make sense?
[2:41] - [Alex] Yes.
- [Adriana] No.
[2:42] - Radio Boy is a trademark of Nintendo
[2:44] and licensed to Mani,
[2:45] the manufacturer of
this high quality item.
[2:49] - [Alex] It's just Manny.
[2:50] - As someone who's been doing
this for a very long time,
[2:53] I did not know this
existed until I found it.
[2:57] Alex, do you have any
information on the Radio Boy?
[2:59] - [Alex] This came out originally in 1992.
[3:03] - Great year.
[3:04] - [Alex] It was a thing, it
wasn't like insanely popular.
[3:06] - How much was this thing?
How much did we pay for it?
[3:08] Like what's the deal with this guy?
[3:10] - [Alex] We paid $187.
[3:15] Now, keep in mind, it is
factory sealed, all that stuff.
[3:17] Sealed prices for these things
[3:20] go anywhere from like $140 to $200.
[3:24] - Normally, I would feel kind of bad
[3:25] about opening something like
this, but until we open-
[3:28] - [Alex] You should feel bad.
[3:30] - Here goes nothing, my friends.
[3:34] Oh my god.
[3:36] - [Alex] This is hurting
every collector watching.
[3:41] - Can we get a zoom in on this?
[3:43] The headphones disintegrated
on the actual battery door.
[3:46] Do you see all the black
like gunk on there?
[3:49] I'm not putting that in my ear.
[3:50] It's actually like
crumbling off as I touch it.
[3:52] - [Alex] Ooh, we finally found something
[3:53] that Austin won't sniff
or put in his body.
[3:56] Don't do it. Oh my god.
[4:00] You just got asbestos in there.
[4:03] - It is crazy to me that
this is a brand new product.
[4:06] It looks like it's in terrible
shape, like it's yellowed.
[4:09] Even the front,
[4:10] it's got like a million
little bubbles in it.
[4:12] So, you have an AM, FM switch
on the top, headphone jack,
[4:15] you have a volume rocker
[4:16] as well as you've got your tuning knob.
[4:18] So, to make sure
[4:19] that we can all experience
the Radio Boy together,
[4:22] I brought out a pair of speakers,
[4:23] now, a lot of these kinda radios
[4:25] use the actual 3.5 as an antenna.
[4:29] Oh, on/off and volume controls.
[4:30] You just have to turn up the volume.
[4:35] I'm only picking up a little bit of static
[4:36] on both AM and FM at the exact same spot.
[4:39] Lemme try the original headphones,
[4:40] I'm not gonna put them in my ears.
[4:42] - [Alex] That's not terrible.
[4:45] Okay, no, I lied. That
is terrible, nevermind.
[4:49] Yes.
[4:51] - Oh no, it's all on my shirt.
[4:54] This would've been cooler
[4:56] if it was like a little
like Game Boy attachment.
[4:58] - In recent times, people have made,
[5:00] have basically taken that exact idea
[5:01] and made like custom game cards.
[5:04] - [Austin] Yeah.
[5:05] - [Alex] That could do exactly that.
[5:06] - I'm gonna put this back in the box
[5:07] and we're gonna resell
this on eBay real quick
[5:09] as lightly used, complete in box,
[5:12] totally works, no problem.
[5:14] This next one, I said
menacingly with a knife,
[5:17] should be a phone that is very
near and dear to my heart,
[5:22] which is, of course,
[5:23] the most meaningful piece of tech of all,
[5:25] Samsung Galaxy S4.
[5:27] - [Alex] Oh.
[5:28] - The Galaxy S4 was back in an era,
[5:31] this would've been 2013, I think,
[5:33] in which smartphones
got unbelievably better
[5:36] every single year.
[5:37] This had a 1080P OLED display.
[5:40] It actually had like a
properly good camera.
[5:43] I might not have that same opinion today,
[5:44] but like, this thing was
actually pretty good.
[5:47] Oh my god, it's so blue.
- [Alex] Ooh.
[5:49] - Look how blue that is.
[5:51] Remember when phones were actual colors?
[5:53] And it had a headphone jack.
[5:56] This is actually in
incredibly good shape though.
[5:58] Something that you just
can't do with modern phones
[6:00] is just pop off the back panel here.
[6:03] And you should see not only
your easily removable battery,
[6:07] which actually had NFC built in.
[6:10] In addition, you've got
yourself in micro SD card
[6:12] which is already installed and a SIM card,
[6:14] which still already installed.
[6:15] The biggest downside though
[6:16] was that even though it was a
very nice design for its time,
[6:21] even for 2013, you could get
something like an iPhone,
[6:23] which is all glass and metal,
[6:25] and the plastic felt a little dated,
[6:26] but like, plastic actually has
like a bit of a charm to it.
[6:29] Oh my god, it's turning on.
[6:30] - [Alex] What?
- [Austin] I felt it vibrate.
[6:32] - [Alex] Ooh.
- Yeah, boy!
[6:34] That screen is actually incredibly bright.
[6:36] It's clipping on the
camera it's so bright.
[6:37] And it's an OLED,
[6:38] so it actually has like good
viewing angles, like, man.
[6:41] Ah, the setup wizard.
[6:42] Oh, everyone has to get ready.
[6:45] Uh-oh.
[6:46] - [Alex] What happened
to the beeps and gates?
[6:47] - [Austin] It can't activate.
[6:48] - [Alex] But SIM card.
[6:50] - How about we use wifi to activate?
[6:53] Do we want to set up
our Yahoo or AOL email?
[6:56] Yo, let's go. TouchWiz,
TouchWiz, TouchWiz, touch,
[7:01] TouchWiz was bad actually.
[7:02] Man, none of this is gonna work,
[7:04] but it's still great anyway.
[7:06] I am now recording on a
beautiful Samsung Galaxy S4.
[7:11] How does it look?
[7:12] Anyone wanna take a bet on
if any of that was in focus.
[7:14] I'm now recording. Oh,
that's actually not bad at all.
[7:17] I know this is just the nostalgia talking,
[7:19] but if they would make a phone
[7:21] that was like actually this
size, I would be so happy.
[7:23] I mean, it really feels
like it's not too far away
[7:26] from something like an iPhone Mini
[7:27] when it comes to actually
like the feel on the hand,
[7:29] how much did I pay for this Galaxy S4
[7:31] that is in very good condition.
[7:34] - [Alex] We paid $105.
[7:39] - Hold on a second.
- [Alex] Yeah.
[7:41] You know how minimal
phones are a thing now?
[7:44] What if we just all buy the
beautiful old pieces of hardware
[7:48] in good condition?
[7:49] You can't do a lot on it, but
you can probably find a way
[7:52] to do some very minimal things on this.
[7:54] I think I'm onto something here.
[7:56] - [Alex] Yeah, Austin Evans
[7:58] bought off by all hackers online.
[8:00] - Well, don't do any those,
[8:01] okay, yes, yes, yes, that's true.
[8:04] How about we go with.
[8:08] So, this should be a MacBook.
[8:11] And something that always shocks me
[8:13] is the price of old MacBooks.
[8:15] Because MacBooks, almost
without fail, hit a price floor.
[8:19] So, if you wanna spend a $100 to $150,
[8:22] you can get everything
from like a 2018 MacBook
[8:25] all the way to like a 2007 MacBook.
[8:27] And it feels like they're pretty much
[8:29] all that same kind of price.
[8:30] So this, my friends should
be a 16 inch MacBook Pro
[8:36] from 2018, 2019?
[8:39] - [Alex] 2016.
[8:40] - 2016. Oh, so sorry.
15-inch, not 16-inch.
[8:42] So, this was when they redesigned the Mac.
[8:45] So before this, you had tons of ports,
[8:48] then they took it, shrunk it
down, got rid of all the ports,
[8:52] and only has Thunderbolt/USBs on the side.
[8:54] And it most importantly, the Touch Bar.
[8:58] This one's a little dirty.
[8:59] Alex, could you gimme
any info on this guy?
[9:02] - [Alex] We bought the i7
with 16 gigs of RAM.
[9:06] - Which I think was the base model.
[9:08] Now, this laptop, I will
say, had some problems.
[9:11] The Butterfly Keyboard,
[9:13] which, as we've discussed
in the past, not good.
[9:16] I still, as my voice cracks,
[9:19] think that the Butterfly Keyboard
[9:20] was actually not bad to type on,
[9:22] it was very shallow,
[9:23] but it actually had like a nice
little bit of a click to it.
[9:25] However, incredibly unreliable.
[9:27] And the problem was that if
any of these keys went bad,
[9:29] half your MacBook would literally
just need to be replaced.
[9:31] This did have USB-C, which,
what the hell's the password?
[9:34] Oh my god, not again,
not again, not again.
[9:38] What the (quacks)?
[9:39] What the, it's the best color,
[9:40] and it's everything I ever
wanted, and it doesn't work.
[9:45] - [Alex] Well,
[9:46] why don't we try the new
thing that we learned?
[9:49] - Push the Enter button?
[9:51] Nope.
[9:51] Is it Apple? It is Apple.
[9:54] - [Alex] What?
- Okay.
[9:56] Dude, stop putting passwords on things.
[10:01] So, it is, in fact, a
15-inch 2016 MacBook Pro.
[10:05] Well, also, something's borked here.
[10:06] My System Information doesn't
work. It doesn't work?
[10:09] - [Alex] That's weird.
[10:11] - [Austin] Oh my god,
finally showed up, okay.
[10:12] - [Alex] Oh, okay.
- That's super weird.
[10:13] Okay, so it does have a Radeon Pro 450.
[10:16] It is not very powerful, but it is enough.
[10:20] So, it is a 27 cycle count battery,
[10:22] so it's basically brand new.
[10:24] Unfortunately, this is
an Intel MacBook Pro,
[10:26] which means that in this era,
[10:28] the early ones actually weren't too bad.
[10:31] Once they got a little bit down the line,
[10:33] these things would run really hot.
[10:35] Now, the concern with any old MacBook,
[10:40] it is no longer supported.
[10:42] Alex, what's the newest version of macOS
[10:44] I could put on this one?
[10:45] - [Alex] High Sierra.
- High Sierra?
[10:47] Oh, yeah, so that's way behind.
[10:50] As you can see, our web browser
is a little bit out of date.
[10:54] When did we start trusting
Google with our entire lives?
[10:57] At least for me. Terrific
speakers, great screen.
[11:00] And the Touch Bar,
[11:01] one of my favorite things
of MacBooks of any year.
[11:04] I think what's gonna help me calibrate
[11:06] how much should I pay for this?
[11:08] - [Alex] Two hundred-
- 2?
[11:10] That number shouldn't start with a 2.
[11:12] - [Alex] $16.
[11:13] - 216?
[11:14] - 216. Oh.
[11:17] The problem is I bought an M1
MacBook Air not that long ago,
[11:21] for like, what like 250, 260 bucks,
[11:23] which is just a bajillion times better.
[11:25] Okay, yeah. Ah! I, okay,
[11:27] if I paid like mid to high one hundreds,
[11:30] I'd be pretty happy with this.
[11:31] I think that this hardware
is very serviceable.
[11:35] I like it, man. I like it.
[11:37] I wish I would've paid like
170 bucks for it though.
[11:40] Now, as I was perusing the
virtual store shelves of Mercari,
[11:46] I couldn't help but find
one of my favorite vices.
[11:49] Not that one. No, the
other one's Pokemon cards.
[11:54] Okay look
[11:54] we've all done a little bit
of degenerate behavior, right?
[11:57] - [Alex] All of us?
[11:58] - So, these are Pokemon
card mystery packs.
[12:04] For the most part,
[12:05] they're just a bunch of junk bulk
[12:06] that's just tossed in a thing.
[12:07] They put a very expensive
card on the front.
[12:12] - [Alex] But what they guarantee a foil,
[12:15] that means it's worth something, right?
[12:18] - I think I see the foil right here.
[12:19] It's kind of cool,
[12:20] but I don't think it's
actually worth anything.
[12:23] Oh, oh, oh, little oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[12:27] Wow dude.
[12:29] all of those cards are worth,
[12:31] I'm gonna be generous to say 1 cent each.
[12:34] - [Alex] Well, it was
worth something to you,
[12:36] you're the one that paid for it.
[12:38] - Alex, before I open the
second one, can you just tell me
[12:40] how much of my money I
wasted on this nonsense?
[12:44] - [Alex] You paid $32 for both of these.
[12:49] - A reverse holo? Are you kidding me?
[12:52] - [Alex] To somebody who doesn't
care about shiny cardboard,
[12:55] can you explain to me-
[12:56] - [Austin] 50 cents.
[12:56] - [Alex] Okay,
- Man. $30?
[13:01] The only thing that's gonna
make me feel better is this.
[13:03] I,
[13:05] have you ever seen a Pokemon
that you just don't understand
[13:08] what the hell that guy's name is called?
[13:09] Look, I got a Pokedex,
[13:11] and I'm really excited to use it
[13:13] to find out what my cards are.
[13:14] - [Alex] Oh, yeah.
[13:15] - I knew that that was gonna be bad,
[13:17] so at least I wanted to
get one good Pokemon item.
[13:19] There have been a lot of
Pokedexs over the years.
[13:21] So, there was the original one,
[13:23] which actually I still have in my office,
[13:25] which is I think legit and cool.
[13:26] So, this should be from 2007,
[13:31] which I don't know how
good this is gonna be.
[13:35] Does this work? Is there a
power button? How do you?
[13:38] - [Alex] Does it need
battery of some kind?
[13:40] - [Austin] Oh, there's
a button on the side.
[13:42] - [Alex] Fun.
[13:43] - Cut all that.
- [Adriana] Don't cut it.
[13:49] - What is this music?
[13:52] - [Pokedex] This is your Pokedex.
[13:54] Ivysaur is a grass and
poison type Pokemon.
[13:57] - [Alex] Aye.
[13:57] - Wait, do I have to scroll
through every single Pokemon?
[14:00] Wait, let's gimme a number, yeah.
[14:01] What number Pokemon are we looking for?
[14:03] - [Adriana] Let's do 351.
[14:05] - [Alex] Is it just mute-
[14:06] - [Austin] Castform.
[14:07] - [Pokedex] Castform
is normal type Pokemon.
[14:09] - Sometimes.
[14:10] - 217. Wait, let me guess,
what is Pokemon 217?
[14:15] Houndoom.
[14:16] Ursaring. That's close.
[14:19] - [Alex] How does that? I guess.
[14:21] - Gimme like, oh, here,
let's look for Latias.
[14:23] So, I type in the word L, it
just shows me each L Pokemon.
[14:27] Oh, wait, more info.
[14:28] Oh, Lairon makes its nest on mountains
[14:30] where iron ore is buried.
[14:32] This is cool, but incredibly tedious.
[14:34] Banette was once a discarded
and forgotten plush doll.
[14:37] All of its cursed energy was escape
[14:39] if it ever opened its mouth.
[14:40] Yeah, see that's the kind of (quack)
[14:42] the Pokedex is great for.
[14:44] Who's that Pokemon? Is everyone ready?
[14:45] - [Alex] Aye!
- [Unison] Let's go.
[14:46] - All right, Jumpluff,
Jumpluff, Jumpluff, Jumpluff.
[14:51] I am a Pokemon master.
[14:52] This is the, it makes me forget
[14:54] about all the money I
wasted on Pokemon cards.
[14:55] It's very delightful.
[14:56] How much do we pay for
our 2007 Pokemon Pokedex?
[15:01] - [Alex] We paid $37.
[15:04] - See, good use of 30 something dollars,
[15:08] bad use of 30 something dollars.
[15:10] How do y'all feel about
going a little old school?
[15:14] - [Alex] Haven't we been going
old school this whole video?
[15:15] - No, no, no. 2007?
That was yesterday. No.
[15:19] We're talking about
back when hair was tall,
[15:23] clothes were great, and
Japanese cars were amazing,
[15:26] the 1990s.
[15:28] You can see, I think,
[15:29] what we're looking at here, my friends.
[15:32] - [Alex] Oh my god, is that a PS5?
[15:33] - An actual,
[15:35] this is an actual, original PlayStation.
[15:38] I do know that the box is quite beat up.
[15:42] Is this a launch model
or was it slightly later?
[15:45] - [Alex] I think it's
ever so slightly later.
[15:49] - Nicely padded though, I will say.
[15:50] I appreciate the little like air dinguses.
[15:53] So, this should be our PlayStation itself.
[15:56] Uh-oh, cables are falling.
[15:57] Oh. Oh, it smells like 1997.
[16:01] Ah.
[16:02] So, we've got the original paperwork,
[16:04] which is the instruction
manual for our PlayStation.
[16:07] Now,
[16:08] oh, and the memory card
that just fell out.
[16:10] Oh, this is the Performance memory card.
[16:13] Behold my friends,
1997's favorite console,
[16:18] the Sony PlayStation.
[16:20] It is in good shape, a little dirty.
[16:22] So, yeah, so this would've
been the later revision, yeah.
[16:24] Because the launch models,
they had RCA on the back,
[16:27] if I remember right.
[16:29] Oh.
- [Alex] Ka-chunk.
[16:33] - Let us begin my friends
[16:34] with a choice of what
game we want to play.
[16:37] Is it "Duke Nukem Land of The Babes?"
[16:39] - [Alex] Yes.
- Yeah.
[16:41] "Tomb Raider."
[16:42] - [Matt] Same universe.
[16:43] - [Alex] Also "Land of The Babes."
[16:44] - [Austin] "Need For Speed Hot Pursuit?"
[16:45] After you visited the "Land of The Babes."
[16:48] Well, play some "Need For Speed"
[16:49] that seems like the right move.
[16:50] - [Alex] What? Of all the games in there?
[16:50] - I could, I-
[16:51] - [Adriana] Do "Tomb Raider."
[16:52] - "Tomb Raider?"
[16:53] - [Matt] I could have bet
millions of dollars on that
[16:55] and won.
[16:57] - We're gonna play "Land of
The Babes" now then. Sorry.
[16:59] - [Alex] Yay.
[17:01] (cover clicks)
[17:05] - Not plugged in.
[17:07] I'm looking at the cord.
[17:10] I'm looking at-
- [Alex] And the best part.
[17:11] - Nothing's plugged in.
[17:12] - [Matt] Two separate cords.
[17:15] (somber music)
[17:21] - I just peed my pants.
[17:22] Oh, those are babes.
[17:23] Oh, I think I see the babes. Wait, what?
[17:25] - [Adriana] Oh.
- Oh, what the (quack)?
[17:26] - [Adriana] My god.
[17:27] - [Austin] Wait, wait, why is
that, wait, is that a gorilla?
[17:31] - [Adriana] You are looking
at the wrong thing, dude.
[17:34] - "Tomb Raider," look at
that. Let's go raid the tomb.
[17:37] Like how it's freezing
outside so she put a scarf on.
[17:40] This is where the guy
gets eaten by wolves.
[17:42] - [Matt] Whoa.
[17:43] Spoilers.
- Spoilers. Sorry.
[17:44] It doesn't support the DualShock.
[17:46] So, basically, I have to
use the D-pad to walk,
[17:47] which is very bad.
[17:49] - [Alex] Yeah, this is amazing for 1996.
[17:51] - Oh, arrows, arrows, arrows, bad.
[17:52] - We've learned all we need to
learn about this PlayStation.
[17:55] However, the best is
yet to come. My friends.
[17:58] - [Alex] Matt?
- [Matt] Yeah?
[17:59] - [Alex] How much do you
think this would cost?
[18:02] - [Matt] I'm going 300.
- Alex? The actual number is?
[18:05] - [Alex] This bodes
very well for us. $193.
[18:09] - It's pretty good, right?
- [Matt] Pretty good.
[18:11] Pretty good.
[18:12] - It's not that much more expensive.
[18:13] I mean, it's more expensive
[18:14] than just like a stock PlayStation One.
[18:16] But, with the box, with two
controllers and everything,
[18:18] it's actually not that bad.
[18:19] I like how this one comes
with eBay tape, as, of course,
[18:24] and I purchased from Mercari.
[18:26] But Matthew-
[18:27] - [Matt] Yeah?
[18:28] - What is something you
miss from the 1990s?
[18:30] - Is there a, is there like a-
[18:32] - A hint? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[18:33] - Avenue I'm supposed to be going?
[18:34] - What are your feelings on Nintendo?
[18:36] - Nintendo in the '90s was decent.
[18:39] - Good.
[18:40] - Like, I hadn't hated it yet.
[18:41] - So, this is an item that
I, kind of, forgot existed.
[18:46] Why the hell is that
"Dance Dance Revolution?"
[18:50] Hold on, hold on, hold
on, hold on, hold, hold.
[18:52] - [Matt] And that's Snoopy.
- [Austin] Wait, wait, wait.
[18:53] - [Matt] And Woodstock.
[18:54] - Wait, so.
- [Alex] What's happening?
[18:57] - Oh, okay, okay, okay, wait, wait-
[18:58] - [Matt] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[18:59] - So, this is my friends is
"Mario Teaches Typing" on CD.
[19:05] - I think I remember this.
[19:07] - [Austin] So, Mario could
teach you how to type in 1993.
[19:11] This is before he even had fingers,
[19:12] don't ask how he typed.
[19:13] - Oh yeah, he had the two balls.
[19:14] - He had the two balls. I will
say there's one slight issue.
[19:18] Can I direct your attention
to the bottom of this?
[19:21] Which is for DOS.
[19:23] So, we might need to source
a slightly older computer
[19:27] to make this one work.
[19:28] But trust me, it will
be worth it, it will.
[19:33] All righty,
[19:34] now that we have procured
ourselves a Windows 98 machine,
[19:39] it is time to go back to yesteryear
[19:42] with "Mario Teaches Typing."
[19:44] Can I make sure that the.
[19:47] Yeah buddy.
[19:50] - [Alex] What?
[19:52] - Welcome to the world of Windows 98.
[19:55] The CD was modified last May 20th, 1994.
[19:58] - [Alex] Wow.
[19:59] - Shout out to the fact that
this 30 something year old CD
[20:03] works right outta the box.
[20:05] Whoa whoa whoa wait.
[20:06] There's a bunch of
extra stuff on the disc.
[20:07] - [Matt] Yeah.
[20:08] - [All] "Lord of The Rings."
[20:10] - [Austin] "Star Wars Judgment Rites."
[20:12] - Why are we caring at all about Mario
[20:15] when there's "Star Trek?"
[20:16] - So, it doesn't look like the
audio works, unfortunately.
[20:18] Probably 'cause we don't
have a Sound Blaster card.
[20:20] - Woo-hoo, hello. It's me, Mario.
[20:24] - [Matt] I want to know whether-
[20:25] - Oh my god, wait, wait, wait, what?
[20:26] This is the way it works.
[20:27] - [Ken] You need to type to play, dude.
[20:28] - [Matt] Yeah. How? Why
is this better graphics
[20:30] than current Nintendo games?
Yeah, like it kind of-
[20:34] - I did. Oh, apparently I'm done.
[20:35] - [Matt] They didn't even
have the steps to jump up,
[20:38] there was not a single pipe.
[20:39] - I just will say that this Mario,
[20:42] I'm not sure what's wrong,
[20:43] he looks like bootleg Mario.
[20:45] - Look, I'm doing it.
- What the hell?
[20:48] You're not learning anything.
[20:49] How are you supposed to be
learning typing right now?
[20:52] (Austin humming)
[20:57] Well, the good thing is, Alex,
[20:59] for what a relic of history we have found,
[21:02] it was quite affordable, right?
[21:03] We did not have to pay a lot of money
[21:05] for this copy of "Mario
Teaches Typing," right?
[21:07] - So I, of course, you're
playing "Star Trek."
[21:09] - [Alex] We paid $15.50 for this.
[21:12] That's not much,
[21:13] but I'm pretty sure it's
probably more than it's worth.
[21:16] - There's a lot of other
demos on this thing, man.
[21:17] I think it's pretty good.
[21:18] - Yeah, but they're
not letting me play it.
[21:20] - [Ken] Whoa.
- [Alex] Aye.
[21:23] - Uh-oh.
[21:24] - [Austin] You know it's
just a trailer, right?
[21:26] - What it's?
[21:27] - You're not playing any, it's a trailer.
[21:29] It's a trailer.
[21:30] - Let me shoot.
- It's a trailer.
[21:32] - The game's not on the disc,
it's a trailer for the game.
[21:34] - Oh. Oh, oh.
[21:35] - This is old.
[21:37] You'd think that in 2026
[21:39] people are gonna use a
keyboard and a computer
[21:43] instead I got that new wave.
[21:45] What the kids are
actually doing these days.
[21:48] - [Ken] Meta Quest?
- [Matt] Zyn?
[21:49] - [Ken] Zyn.
- This, my friends is-
[21:54] - [Ken] Oh no, it's a Pokemon card.
[21:56] - A Palm.
[21:57] - [Ken] Oh!
- [Matt] Oh!
[21:59] - See? See, now we're
all excited, aren't we?
[22:02] So this is a PalmOne, this is a Tungsten
[22:04] which is legitimately one of
the cooler looking Palms.
[22:09] - All the Palms were cool looking.
[22:11] - [Austin] So, it has this like
little, like leather pouch,
[22:13] and you got yourself the
stylus, which actually is here.
[22:15] - [Ken] Look at that.
[22:17] - This thing was money.
[22:19] Alex, do you have any idea
[22:20] how much a Palm Tungsten
T5 cost when it was new?
[22:24] - [Alex] The original retail
price for one of these guys,
[22:27] it is $400.
[22:29] It is, it is advertise.
[22:30] - [Austin] It immediately lights up.
[22:30] - [Alex] All right, cool.
[22:31] - [Ken] Oh dang.
[22:32] - [Matt] Oh, look at that. Ah.
[22:33] - Are we, oh my god, look, it actually is,
[22:36] the wizard searches for new drivers
[22:37] for the PalmOne Handheld please.
[22:39] - [Alex] Wow.
[22:40] - Is Bluetooth, which is
pretty impressive for 2004.
[22:43] It has VPN support, which, wow.
[22:46] - [Matt] These were corporate.
[22:47] - So, if I want, I'm
gonna turn on drive mode.
[22:49] Theoretically-
- [Ken] Pull the files.
[22:51] - Yes.
- [Matt] Yeah.
[22:52] - Yeah, I can actually now
show up as a Windows 95, yeah.
[22:54] Also, I just wanna point
out this stylus is so heavy.
[22:58] It feels expensive.
[23:02] - [Alex] Oh, I heard thunk.
[23:04] - Yeah, I know.
[23:05] - Dude, what the heck?
[23:07] - Oh, the program has
performed an illegal operation
[23:09] and will be shut down.
[23:10] - [Alex] Oh.
[23:11] - [Matt] I once wrote an
entire paper on one of these.
[23:14] - [Austin] That's crazy-
- [Matt] Using.
[23:15] - [Alex] How?
[23:16] - [Ken] Beep, beep, beep,
beep, beep, beep, beep.
[23:17] - [Austin] Well would you like to come and try it?
[23:18] - [Matt] It took like
a seven hour car ride.
[23:21] - Did you safely eject the
media, you sick (quack)?
[23:24] - You're a sexy little Palm Pilot.
[23:25] - [Ken] Whoa.
[23:27] - Like tell me this is
not a more fun interface
[23:30] in anything that, like
this (quacks) Spotify.
[23:33] Wrote, draw on picture.
I drew another tree.
[23:36] - [Ken] He doesn't need an S-pen, he has-
[23:38] - [Adriana] Dude, which one
is it? I can't even tell.
[23:39] - [Matt] Exactly. You can't even tell.
[23:41] - [Alex] Well, Mr. Ansini,
you're so enamored with this,
[23:44] how much would you pay for this?
[23:45] - $127.
[23:47] - [Alex] Well, I've got
fantastic news for you then
[23:49] because we paid $95.
[23:51] - It's a great deal.
[23:52] Well, it's another one
for the Overclock Museum.
[23:54] But, have you gotten about Jensen?
[23:57] - Yeah. Jensen was this
girl I had a crush on-
[23:59] - No, no, no.
- In the seventh grade.
[24:01] - So, this is a,
[24:03] I believe, still sealed
Nvidia GeForce MX 440.
[24:08] - [Matt] Best Buy. Let us install it.
[24:10] This is, this is pre-Geek Squad.
[24:12] - So, it is not like the
first Nvidia GeForce card,
[24:16] but it is a very old one.
[24:18] It does work, however,
with Windows 98 and higher.
[24:21] - PNY technologies offer a
lifetime replacement warranty.
[24:25] - [Alex] Wow.
[24:26] - Ah.
- [Alex] Whose lifetime?
[24:28] - Alex, can you tell me a little more?
[24:29] Do you have any idea what the MSRP was?
[24:31] - [Alex] So, they would retail
anywhere between $100 to $150,
[24:35] give or take.
[24:36] - Do you remember when
graphics cards were $100?
[24:38] Before we crack it open,
Alex, how much did we pay
[24:40] for our still sealed Nvidia
graphics card from 2002?
[24:43] - [Alex] We paid $98.
[24:46] - We paid retail for a-
- 20.
[24:49] - 25-year-old card.
- Yeah.
[24:50] Look at this, look at this.
[24:52] Dude, it's so little. Look
how little this GPU is.
[24:56] I like how it's got a
straight up purple board.
[24:58] So, if got yourself VGA, S-Video,
[25:01] as well as actual just AV out.
[25:03] - I'm gonna ask the important question.
[25:05] What are you gonna do
with said graphics card?
[25:08] - I'm glad you brought that up my friend.
[25:12] I'm gonna need a little bit of internet.
[25:15] - You have like all of
Wikipedia in your pocket.
[25:18] Oh my god, I just-
- [Ken] Yeah.
[25:19] - Wait, this is also a sealed item
[25:21] and I just started cutting,
[25:22] I realized there's no padding on it.
[25:24] I just cut the sealM.
[25:25] - [Ken] Oh my god.
- [Alex] Oh my god.
[25:28] - Look, I was so happy when I found this,
[25:30] a sealed Modem Blaster, previously sealed.
[25:32] Now, not sealed anymore 'cause
I just cut the damn plastic.
[25:37] For those of you who were
born in the last 20 years,
[25:39] it was the thing went.
[25:40] (Austin imitates dial-up sound)
[25:44] I cannot believe it-
[25:45] - We're taking this away from you.
[25:46] - Yeah, that's fair. I
can't. Oh, I'm so sorry.
[25:49] Alex, at least it was cheap, right?
[25:50] I didn't pay a lot of money
for a sealed modem from 2003?
[25:55] - [Alex] We paid $34.
[25:57] - Okay, I feel slightly
better, but not by much.
[25:59] I cannot believe I accidentally opened,
[26:00] at least with the graphics
card, I was all careful.
[26:03] Wait, oh no, wait.
[26:06] This motherboard doesn't have AGP.
[26:08] - [Alex] Oh my God.
[26:09] - [Ken] Wait, what?
- [Matt] After all that?
[26:11] So, we desecrated-
- [Alex] Two.
[26:14] - [Matt] Two pieces of of artifacts
[26:17] because you didn't check.
[26:21] - Okay. Well, we learned
some things today.
[26:23] - Nothing-
- [Alex] Did we?
[26:24] - Nothing to do with Mercari at all,
[26:26] besides the fact that it's just like eBay
[26:28] except a little weirder,
[26:29] like I have almost nothing
to say about the platform
[26:31] because all the items we got
[26:33] were pretty much exactly
what we were advertised.
[26:35] But also, it was a bunch of stuff
[26:37] that probably was also listed on eBay.
[26:39] I have erred in my ways today,
[26:43] but if you subscribe to
the Austin Evans channel
[26:44] and ring-a-ling that ding-a-ling button,
[26:46] you too can watch a dingus on
the internet do dumb things.
[26:50] - I can't believe you made us stay late
[26:52] to watch you desecrate technology.
[26:54] - Bro, it's like 9pm
my kids are waiting.
[26:57] (upbeat music)
