in the 17 years that I've been a YouTuber, I've acquired a lot of tech. Some of it has legitimately come in handy many times for our content, and some I've kept around for personal reasons, like this mostly working CPU chiller. But lately, I found myself asking, how many options does one man need? Do I even have enough computers to put all these old GPUs in? And how much is it costing me to store all of these cases? Fortunately, we have a plan. With our crack team of logistics specialists, we are going to be liquidating everything that you see in front of you. Welcome to the Linus Media Group garage sale. Are you guys ready to buy my stuff for pennies on the dollar? Yeah, let's go. I fix it. For only 48 hours from when this video goes live, you can save $10 on purchases of $50 or more with code Linus fix. Act quick and take advantage of this limited time deal using our link in the video description. Now tell me something.

What's the total value of everything that is out here? Roughly $882,000. And what are the odds we're going to get anywhere near $82,000 for it? Less than 1%. Nice. I got to say I wasn't involved in the selection of the items, and I'm already noticing some very interesting stuff that's just lowkey hiding in the piles. This right here is that wild small form factor dual GPU case. Well, hopefully it goes to a good home. Oh yeah, and here's that stylish rack from Theano. Oh, and I was going to show off the Bragi The Dash, which was the world's first true wireless earphones, but I think somebody already noticed them and snagged them. Now some stuff doesn't have a price 'cause we just weren't really sure what to do with it, like this 40 lb bucket of AI liquid coolers that are in various states of disrepair. So we're just going to go out there and try our luck. Here's an exciting opportunity: this bin of 432 lb of all-in-one liquid

coolers, there's also some tubing, and there could be a dead rodent in the bottom of the bin. We're not sure. I'm going to start the bidding at $3. $3. I have $3. Sold $3. Sorry, this is my first time auctioning. I don't really know how it works. It's yours. Let's see if he can carry it. [Applause] Barely. This is actually a very good deal. I'm serious. Yeah, it is so much stuff. This EK unit alone is probably worth like $50 to $75. Oh, you got something really cool. What do you remember this video? I can't remember it. What was it? This is a prototype pumpless AIO. This doesn't exist other than this one. It doesn't work especially well, and you're going to have to kajigger your own mounting for it, but I have no idea how that ended up in this bin. Half the challenge getting rid of some of this stuff is even knowing what it is. Alex, you just explained what this was. How do

you describe it it was an AliExpress uh like tent tablet. A tent tablet. Oh, I remember this one. It's the weird triangle tablet. Yeah, what's the price on this? That is, it's $1 a sure. Okay, anyone tablet $1 got him K. Hold on, uh, hold on's CL that guy with the sunglasses. Let me, uh, let me write on. Sold. I am such a good salesman. A nice young man asked me if we had any monitors and REE said no, we don't have any monitors. And I said, I bet we have some monitors. I found this 8K Dell that has literally been marked for sale for so long that this pink sticker has now faded to almost white. Back, back vultures, back. Okay, I have some monitors. I'm really hoping to get something for this stupid 8K Dell. Okay, 8K Dell monitor, 500 bucks. It's 500 bucks Canadian, Canadian. I'll do it. Sold. This is an ancient piece of sh but a special one. All right, as far as I know, it still works and this sat on.

my desk at NC then it sat on Luke's desk here at lonus Media Group, and included with it is this unique item patch that is the number of subscribers that lonus Tech chps had when we founded the company. That's sick, and one year we did did a special jacket for all of our staff that had a patch with their subscriber count, so this is Luke's patch that he carelessly left on this monitor. 10 bucks, 10 bucks deal, all right, 10 bucks sold. This sucker just bought the rocket skates for 50 bucks. He thought he was getting a deal, but he's going to be dead in a week. To my kids, you're giving them to your kids. The food is expensive. Hello, everyone, I have an exciting opportunity for you for the low low price of what the f. Sorry, I got distracted there. For the low low price of whatever I'm about to make up. These however many cases there are on this cart can be yours. I'm going to start the bidding at $11,000. Okay, how about

$11. Okay, this guy, they're all yours. You don't even know what you bought. Are you sure you got a good deal? All right, well, hopefully you have a way of transporting these. Anyone need a weird server rack? 20 bucks. 20s, 20 bucks. Done deal. All right, it's yours. 20 bucks. It's 11:30. At what point do we want to say, okay, it's 30% off everything that's still left?

We're going to play a little game. I'm going to go outside and I'm going to see if anyone will take it for $600. If they don't, you can have it for

And if I can't, I'll give it to you for 20 bucks. Do I have $600? Okay. 20 bucks to be picked up today. Too late. 20 bucks. It's yours. Oh my God. Thanks so much. Oh my God. How did that?

How about some Minion Wi-Fi routers? Don't think I'll be needing those. This switch ran our video editing for years. That'll be a fun little piece of history. And speaking of, do I really need this many 45 Drive store-inators? Many employers may not be aware of how to reduce the risk associated with lifting. I am stuck now. Okay, so Jamie, yes.

Did you get rid of the Scorpion chair? Yeah, 20 bucks. You got what? You sold the Scorpion chair for $20? I made the guy a deal. He offered 200, and then I said I think I can get three times that. So I went out, but I said if I can't get three times that, I'll give it to you for 20 bucks. Will you gamble? Now you know what? I'm not the one that has to to your wife. He's not wrong. Before I cart this out there, I should probably figure out what it is. Uh, we've got a couple of what look like LSI HBAs in here supporting a total of 16 drives. Wait, each 32? Yeah. Any don't have an L screw. Who the heck screwed this in like that? Does anyone have an LTT screwdriver?
