How To Waste $576.48 on eBay...

(beat) - Oh, boy, guess what it is today. It's eBay's mysterious technology! Okay, it's well packaged... oh, what? Why are there so many things here? (sniffs) Ew, smell. What am I looking at? Congratulations on the purchase of your new handheld with a viewfinder. So it's like a palm; in fact, it apparently runs Palm OS. A GPS companion? This is a GPS plugin, what? How can these things be attached? Uh-oh, there's another box under here. This is Omni Sky's wireless Internet and email service. On the next screen you will be asked to tap the center of the target.

Wow... touch screen technology. The eyepiece module, okay, let's try to connect a webcam. Wait, wait, I'm going to take a selfie with this. I mean, right there my friends is a true masterpiece. But I'm actually a little surprised at how many things can be used in this. I say usable with a few slight asterisks. But I mean, we have a camera, we have what would have been a really cool wireless modem, we have a GPS antenna and all of this was pretty easy to swap out. I mean, no, should you buy one of these in 2018? I mean, of course not, that's ridiculous.

But this is really cool, I have to say I actually didn't expect it to work as well as it does. - This is Jimmy's. - From Jimmy? Well, this is from Toink Toys. Alright, is it like an action figure or something? Of course it is. That's not technology, there is no part of this that is technology at all. Everything is just a doll. There is nothing mysterious or scary about this. I mean, does that sound scary to you? Are you scared right now? Because it scares me how much money was

waste

d on something that is not even remotely technological in any way possible.

We'll leave this here for the rest of the video. Thank you. (smack) Great, I didn't need to be there anyway, it's okay. (laughs) Sports cards? Is this a baseball card? What did you get a baseball card for? This is not technology, did you miss the most important part of the mysterious technology? It's not random mysterious things, it's mysterious technology. - It's the best of technology. - (laughs) It's an Austin Evans baseball card. Wait, there's a real player. Yes, he was drafted by the Rangers in June of 2000. His name is Austin Evans, he's actually from Austin, Texas.

Okay, okay, that's actually pretty good. I will say that he actually looks a little like me. And his signature also looks like mine. How much was this? - 15 dollars. - 15 dollars? Alright, a USB to PS2 keyboard and mouse adapter? This is not mysterious. Am I missing something? An adapter... oh. What are you laughing so much? I haven't even opened the thing yet and you're already here laughing. - It's the doll. - Were you looking at the doll? Are you looking at this doll? (laughs) Is this one of those Model M reproduction keyboards? - Well, it's not a reproduction. - It is real?

Wait, did I guess that right? Uh oh, I'm excited now. That would be a new album, I actually guessed what it is, right? Oh man, I feel like I could kill someone with this. I've never tried one of these before. So if you're not familiar, the IBM Model M is widely considered one of the best keyboards of all time, if not the best. Dude, this is so clean. So this is not a reproduction, right? Is it actually original? - Yeah. - Oh man. Wait, we have to do it, we have to do it. (keys clicking) Oh! (keys jingling) Listen to that. (keys clicking) Wow! (loud click) Because this is an older keyboard, it uses a PS2 connector, which to be fair, some modern PCs, specifically many desktops, will support it, but for me, I'll need an adapter.

Ah, there is a problem. Ah, the computer doesn't smell so good. - Yes, I heard a pop. - Shall we finish off my great HP? (sniffing) - (sniffing) Ooh. - That smells bad. - Crunchy Team. - Oh, well, that's not good. So we were trying to turn on my laptop, it was dead, we plugged a different power adapter into it and now it smells bad and won't turn on, oh joy. - They said this computer was very hot. - No no no. So, with a replacement laptop, let's test the keyboard now. So, hey, we've got the lights on.

So at least he's getting power. So it definitely has a different feel than any type of standard mechanical keyboard you might use today. I'm also realizing that it has a different key layout as well. This was before the Windows key existed (laughs), but hey, it works. I mean, with just a simple USB to PS2 adapter, we have full support and you can do pretty much everything you need. You have all your function keys. Everything else is almost identical to a current keyboard. You know what Ken, I have to say, this is weird, it's not the most normal thing in the world, but I actually think for a lot of people this is legitimately cool. (thud) Wow, that's aggressive.

That's ok. Oh, not another one of these, huh! You may remember a very special episode of Mystery Tech, almost a year ago, where we took a look at the Roboraptor. Well, this is the Roboraptor's special cousin. (Ken laughs) No one enjoys this Ken, everyone is on my side and doesn't appreciate seeing me upset with some stupid dinosaur robot, right? (plastic creak) Well, there you have it, no box. Very well, what are you doing? (robotic noises) Attack. Well that... okay, I can't... okay. Good dinosaur, good dinosaur. Oh, he likes it. Wait, wait, do they know each other?

Is this how it works? (rawr electronic dinosaur) Robo Dinosaur, Roboraptor, you are alive. Okay, wait, can you fight? Fight, fight, fight, fight. (fight bell) Yeah, there we go, my money is on Roboraptor. Mypoasaur looks pathetic. Oh, oh wait, wait, what's going to happen? Take it, take it, this way, this way, this way, yeah, there you go, take it, take it. Oh yeah, get it, get it! (laughs) Wait, no, no! Not Roboraptor! Okay, okay, okay, shh. It's okay, the mean dinosaur girl just doesn't like you. Okay, you've tried. Oh no, just... (robot screeching) No Robo Raptor, this is my box.

What is this? Did you just get a giant pickle? What is this? Why does it have your name? 11/21/17, thanks Kenneth, what is this? Real pickle in a sealed, adult, four-inch Coca Cola bottle. So, it's just a pickle that grew into a Coca-Cola bottle. (accident) I agree Roboraptor, I agree.
