I tried to run it by Chris but have not heard back, with the new building and vacation and then what seemed like a backlog of people trying to connect with him, I figured it was better to wait a bit. Lost has seen the idea I had and had suggestions but I would like to get Chris' thoughts too before deciding how to proceed. Maybe I should try and connect again soon?

I set up a Patreon that is live and empt and will be populated in the next week or so.

I also changed mind on how to deal with stuff.y

I’m starting with being clear on my love for online sales and why >90% of my buys never get scrapped. The realities of ebay is god for 99% of the population except when it failed. And yes, as our over zealous user pointed out some people just get fd.

My second post will(likely) be about refining, the good the bad the ugly and the you’re not smart enough to.

I’ll post my packing material video shortly after


I’m working with my wife, my bff and my gf her daughter, and my sis to figure out how to make a prepaid version of my what’s inside by user pay I buy.
M biggest issue here is as I said: we recycle 99.9999999 percent of our waste.
I pay to recycle some classes.

So I want to make sure I put rails in place. My selling membership classes will come with a zero cancellation concern. Pay the month fee, tell me what you want (reasonably). I’ll find it I’ll break it down on video. I’ll explain every part, every aspect, and then personally decide if I fix it, sell it, or scrap it.



I won’t fight or argue Pa one month happy. Pay a year super happy. But I know many of call have that one wth item and I’m happy to pick it up.. if I pay for it.


But I won’t for any price dispose of anything that can be recovered.

I doubt their interested from what little I’ve heard from inside
I’m gonna build out a community myself Independently for all of us to just shoot the wind, anything goes (with one *no*)

Computing and electronics,
Games be they video or TCG or tabletop
Science
Math
Space travel



Only two things off limits
I’ll make a single post on refining and all refining discussions must be replied to that post. Any other delete instantly.
Politics. I’m so hard to classify… I’m not going there.
Zero politics.

Is patreon where you'll host that? I've never used it.

It’s the simplest platform for creators I’ve played with. I’m from the BBS generation. Type, click post.

I plan (hope) to do a video a month. A few long-form discussions a week. Etc. Some of it will be like the longer discussions here. The truth behind recycling this or that, why one board is worth so much when it looks so worthless. Much on retro tech—buying, using, fixing, and ultimately smart scrapping.
Everything I said previously above.
