I’m Selling My Stuff

Company-Wide Sales Challenge [0:00]

• The company is holding its last major all-hands meeting, and Alex has issued a challenge: refer a buyer for a fire truck, environmental chamber, or projector and earn a $500 commission.
• The speaker plans to make a video to facilitate these sales, aiming for an easy $500.
• Proceeds from these sales will be split: half for the Christmas party prize budget and half for a company-wide cash bonus.

  Please, please help us. We need a good Christmas party.

Logistical and Financial Considerations [1:00]

• The speaker inquires about the implications of selling warehouse items to fund the Christmas party bonus.
• Josh from accounting is consulted, and while not fully certain, the idea seems feasible.
• Dave from operations is asked about listing items like an environmental chamber, fire truck, projector, and gun chair on the LTT store, confirming that delivery and tax complexities would fall on the buyer.

  What would be the implications of selling a bunch of stuff, like random crap in the warehouse, and then just like taking it and using it to do a bonus at the Christmas party?

1993 Fire Truck Sale [2:30]

• Lot one is a 1993 hub pumper, built in Abbotsford, BC, featuring a 250-300 horsepower Cummins diesel engine, a 1500-gallon water tank, a 1050 GPM pump, and a 5,000-watt generator.
• The fire truck was in good working condition and has been further spruced up, though some upgrades were removed.
• It is listed for $25,000 USD, the price they paid, and will decrease by $1,000 each week until sold.

  When we got it, it was already in pretty darn good working condition, but since then, it's been spruced up a little further, and even gotten a couple of upgrades, many of which we removed.

Environmental Chamber [5:00]

• The Enviotronics ET27-2-5 environmental chamber manages temperatures from -73°C to 170°C and can be outfitted with humidity control.
• The cost to get it fully operational, including surrounding power and cooling apparatus, was estimated at over a quarter million dollars, leading to its abandonment.
• Carmichael, who decommissioned it, has refurbished it to over 80% working condition, with the only potential difference being slightly slower temperature cycling.
• It is listed for $20,000, with a $1,000 weekly price reduction, and the speaker confirms they will still receive the $500 commission.

  Unfortunately, even though we only ended up paying a little over 20,000 US dollars to get this thing up and running, what we discovered is when we got a quote for all of the surrounding power and cooling and noise isolation apparatus that would have been required, was it was gonna cost us a little bit more.

Christie Projectors and Gaming Cockpit [7:00]

• Two Christie CP-2230 projectors, released in 2012, can run an 86-foot screen and are rated for 33,000 lumens.
• Their original MSRP was around $50,000, and they were purchased for $10,000 each, including 3D filters.
• Christie's lack of support and manuals was an issue until a video was released, prompting them to respond due to liability concerns.
• They are starting the sale at $10,000 each.
• The M2HB 50 Cal BMG Ultimate Gaming Cockpit, weighing 350kg and costing over $4,000 new, is also available.

  MSRP started at like $50,000 back in the day. We paid $10,000 each, including these 3D filters that we never figured out how to get working, but you might have better luck.

Miscellaneous Warehouse Items [9:30]

• Wave generators, robot lawn mowers, and their garages are being listed, with the speaker aiming for a $500 commission if they can move the entire pallet.
• Several LAN PCs with RTX 2070s and 16GB of DDR4 RAM are available, though some have been repurposed for other projects.
• Old 8K Red cameras, previously banned from eBay for listing high-value items, are now available as a kit with accessories, and the speaker still wants the $500 commission per camera.
• A Predator 21x laptop is mentioned as a potential Christmas party raffle item.
• Cooling towers are offered for free, with the company covering disposal costs if they aren't taken.

  I still want to build PCs in them.

Final Items and Sponsor Plug [13:00]

• A Corsair fan wall is available for $100, though shipping will be expensive, and it doesn't fully work.
• The video concludes with a plug for the sponsor, ThreatLocker, a zero-trust cybersecurity platform.
• The speaker reiterates that if items sell, they get a commission and Alex gets a bonus.

  ThreatLocker is a zero trust cybersecurity platform that takes a default deny approach to protecting your organization.
