Even if the box didn't come with complete junk, what the hell am I going to do with all that crap. You only have so much shelf space for toys and drawer space for shirts. And your laptop can only have so many stickers on it

My friend told me recently that he and another friend of mine are going to start doing unboxing videos for 1 or 2 of these nerdy geek crates. Do they have a decent camera and mic to do this with? Nope. Do they have video editing software to cut it with? Nope. Do they have the disposable income to do this? Nope. Is there demand for unboxing videos? Nope. Do they need any of the paper RPG poo poo or whatever the hell is in the crate? Nope. But that's not going to stop them!

They need to start doing 5-part unboxing videos where they show off each item and every single video is 20-30 minute explanation of everything about it: An unmasked Batman Funko Pop Vinyl? "Wow, where to start on this. First, this is a Funko-brand Vinyl. Funko started in...." (5 minute history of Funko) "Now, you notice the heads are in the SD style, popularlized in Japan and known in the US originally due to..." (5 minute history of SD designs and anime collectibles) "So, Batman, unmasked... What can I tell you about this... Batman is really Bruce Wayne, who..." (10 minute history on Batman, another 5 minutes on significance of it being an unmasked batman figure.) "Tune in tomorrow, when we'll examine, in-depth, the next item in our crate: A T-shirt with Korben Dallas and Leeloo dressed as Batman and Robin."

Yeah just tape a cellphone to your forehead and talk in a bored nasal voice, bonus if you frequently get the mic to clip

I'm pretty sure people are paying to be on that crate list site Unless there's some stupid separation of "crates" and "subscription boxes?" But I saw what I would call subscription boxes so...??? All of the popular, corporate random-poo poo-in-a-box brands for makeup aren't on there. Just lovely ones. Makeup and food are the only two things that I could see subscribing to. You can't try everything, this helps you learn about poo poo you wouldn't have known about otherwise Still a waste of money but if you've got the money to waste, what the hell

The best part about all this is the poo poo that's not available by itself will be approximately 48 after the eBay/Amazon sellers get their boxes Reason I know anything about makeup subscription boxes. Stick with the ones with popular brands and a lot of funding a popularity, they'll often work with companies and sell their poo poo in full sizes on their website, companies make special trial-sizes of products that aren't otherwise available. Each item goes for about $10 plus shipping, that's 50 bucks for a ten or twenty dollar box. Feel free to try it with anything you can think of, if something doesn't sell you can always include it as a freebie with a large order and get more repeat business because holy poo poo people love freebies. Dunno if it would work with the nerd poo poo, though.

I've thought about getting one of those crates, just to film myself dumping the contents into my trash chute every month, but I need motivation for that.

Take out a loan on a hydraulic press so you can combine two YouTube staples into one, crushing the gently caress out of useless Funko POP! toys and other geek garbage. Your millions of dollars in YouTube revenue will more than pay for the press. Just make sure to practice a funny accent, like Irish or Swedish or something. Not Eastern European because that's already taken.

quote:Now what else is in the box? Holy moley. This is nerd Christmas! It's more pencils with Funko Pop written on them! There must be at least a hundred, maybe two hundred! I'd say that nearly two thirds haven't been used at all. What an incredible value. LootCrate people have once sent one of the youtube reviewers a huge box full of lovely inflatable crowns after he made fun of them including this extra cheap and not even remotely relevant item in their Game of Thrones box.

Germstore posted:I know I've seen a Attack on Titan survey corps logo cup from one of those boxes on ebay for like twice the price of the box. After actually thinking about it, franchises/specific nerd poo poo is probably similar to the more popular brands of makeup and skincare and nail polish and poo poo. I sold a Popular Brand single eye shadow sample (a small pan in a cardboard compact) for $28 once, because people assumed it was box-only. Then it was released a few months later on every website ever, $14 for one about three times the size and in a sturdy plastic compact. lmao. A big chunk of my business is selling travel-sized poo poo that's not available for singular retail sale, not sure how that would translate to geek poo poo. Different sized figurines? Exclusive colors? "Gamer-Fuel" products from companies that are still in business? oh god I'm going to end up selling nerd poo poo

quote:And beneath that is... woah! Woah! It's an entire ream of office paper! On the wrapper, crammed into one of the few blank spots on the packaging, someone wrote "super hero movies" with a pen. The parody falls apart here because I refuse to believe any actual nerd crate seller would put forth that level of effort.

Max and Zach owned a beef jerky company but were lost on what they wanted to do with it. Upon their arrival home from the convention center the brothers decided that they wanted to position their beef jerky company in a way that it helps fuel competitive gamers. They did countless hours of brainstorming and landed on calling their company JerkyXP. The XP in JerkyXP was derived from the XP you would receive in various video games. They then took to the streets (twitter) to spread the word on JerkyXP, causing a twitter storm of questions and interest in their new product. In the beginning stages they could not keep up with demand from their small apartment room. By the end of 2015 the two brothers had purchased a warehouse in Warren, Ohio to outfit as a fulfillment center with a mission. The brothers mission was to employ members of the recovery community, giving them a second chance at work and life. They wanted to develop an atmosphere where employees could work as a team and keep everyone on track and meet the same goals for a successful life. The brothers want to see everyone thrive during and after their work at JerkyXP.
