North for ah I mean make millions of dollars no I'm uh just trying to open up approve a toy store video games uh Collectibles it's something I've been doing since I was probably in my teens and then uh couple years ago I left my full-time job and started reselling things full time like games toys all that stuff that I know I grew up with and I love um and the store is going to be I don't know I feel like it's gonna be something different for the township I'm G to have uh just try and be like a big part of the township I'm raising my daughter here she's two and she goes daycare at Cool Kids she does dance uh ATD at mty dance I always forget all I know is I pay um but like I want to be something important in the township but I want something so people can come to Maple Shade go to a restaurant go to whatever bring their kids we're going to go to the toy store we're going to do this and I want to be something important in this town so if you could at site plan review uh gentleman was in at site plan review and I think it was a lot there were only three of us yes yeah it was just right here it it was very calmly can you explain the uniqueness of what you do and just they hear toy store and that computer games like and go through that how many people would come what you have been doing on the internet and your following and just just go through what you went through with the site plan so we better understand just calm down everything's um so oh man this I'm so nervous don't don't be nervous I've been doing uh you guys know what YouTube is I've been doing YouTube I do uh live auctions called whatnot I do Amazon I do eBay I do all that stuff but I wanted a storefront because people can bring stuff they can have an experience they can have fun like I've been trying to think of new ideas like for the store I have a bunch of trading cards I have a bunch of Pokemon cards going to do mystery bags I get for free for just coming in like no matter what it's I want people to coming to this store I want them to be like this is a blast I want to stay here then you go have dinner but like I do I've been doing YouTube for years and I have so so you have a following already a few thousand and then I have other people I have uh whatnot I have like 10,000 people that follow my shows right eBay I have like 5060 sales a day like I constantly in contact with people and from what are the products that you carry what is the uniqueness why what makes your place different I have video games that you're not going to find I have toys that you're not going to find like you can go to Target and get like Bluey and get some terrible wrestling figure but I'm going to have things that are going to catch your attention they're like vintage things vintage like I just picked up uh original Wizard of Oz toys the other day from a store so I have them new in box where are you going to see that the store you're going to open right is it a store or is it an arcade or you going to have a store no one's going to be playing anything in there okay that's that's found out how many employees will you have oh I hope more than me okay but right now just right now it's me and maybe one of my friends but uh I'm really I like everything I like planning I know everything like I'm cheap and I'm like I can do a lot so it's I got to plan this right so I'm not just blowing all my monitors right so the operation will be people will be coming to purchase yep what what you are selling in the store okay they won't be staying to play these games nope no so the only time someone play if they buy a system and they I understand and they want to test it or if I'm buying stuff from them I'm going to test it that would be the times they'll be playing it you buy un sell yes okay cuz uh I'm still going to do my online eBay store I sell everything under the sun on that store I I sold Hanes underwear from like the 80s the other day I hope no one back someone was thinking it I my mouth it happens but you came here nervous you're making me nervous but that's the back side of right the back side the other way see so just real quickly I know you had Incorporated a little layout of what you're proposing so could you just go through what people will see when they walk in the front door uh vintage things like GI Jo's or things like that you pick up and then you have a repair area what what type of repairs do you do there uh so I am able to repair video game consoles weirdly enough I have uh so GI Joe's I don't know if you guys know they have those rubber bands in the hips and only certain rubber bands work and only certain tools work to replace the rubber bands so actually I can repair them and people love that I don't know why but that's something I get a lot of request um I'm able to repair video game systems and almost anything electronic and toys uh right when you walk in there if you walk by now you'll see some bins but when you walk in there's two displays in the center one is going to be uh filled with plush like uh stuffed animals all kinds of crazy ones turns out I have a couple like $100 plush in there and didn't realize that was weird to find out but uh and then the one behind that is going to be uh like loose toys they're going to be bagged and just hanging on the pegs one wall is going to be cards one's going to be video games on each side of the display um if you walk in and to the left it's going to be a big strip of uh grid walls and it's going to be uh new and box toys there's going to be the uh open toys but they're in the bags what else and then uh that's most of the stretch up to my counters then the back end is going to be all media so right there I'm going to have video games VHS cassettes laser disc uh beta Maxs DVDs Blu-rays all that fun stuff and then uh the counter I just set it up it's still where it is the display cabinets I set up and they're just filled with more expensive high-end figures and I'm trying to make it look pretty but I'm picky with that too you guys walk by and you'll see or eventually when it's open you'll come in and see so so with what you're selling how many how many customers do you anticipate coming in that's a that's a tough question um so daily right now as I'm set up I get like about 10 20 people coming to the window a day trying to get in trying to just get my attention talk to me figure out what's going on like and of course when am I open um I had there's some guy with a race car jacket that keeps trying to open the door too I don't know who he is but you mean to tell you about that guy I would love to know cuz he keeps asking me weird things but uh your entrance so it's relatively low volume then U uh yeah like I'm trying to figure out because I don't know how if I did an event like uh autograph sign like I have a lot of connections with uh other YouTube people with uh professional wrestlers with some actors actresses but over the years I've built connections all over the country so I'd like to be able to bring them in so I could have trying to think meet and greets yeah meet and greets but I'm trying like there's some big names I can get like uh we have pretty good reach uh the people I work with and the people I know I'm trying to think of someone big I don't I don't know if you guys watch any current wrestling you you know John Cena is actually a possibility to get for the store we were talking and Mom in that's for sure he would bring a lot of people like a disgusting amount of people which unit are you taking in that mini mall the mini mall you're going to be next to the one this side of wall oh okay not the whole oh okay Main Street entrance okay okay okay so with the the products that you process clean and sell what kind of waste material do you have other than that you know food waste from have lunch or dinner almost none okay um like unboxing now I've been taking things to my house I just cut them the box and put in my recycling but everything uh how I I buy storage units too that's probably important I go to Goodwills I go to Estates I buy out collections but my intake would go through my house in my garage first I'll just sort through and then take the good stuff to the store the rest stays at my house and the house trash can deal with that but so the back end's all nice of the store and like not cluttered and hideous or dumpsters the problem with with the store the way it's going to operate I was a little concerned we going to have groups coming to sign order gra and things like that are we going to have gangs of people coming to the store I mean he hope so Define gangs um so like I've been putting out feelers like trying to see uh certain wrestlers and certain interest from the people I know from YouTube and like who wants to come and I have one person that a wrestler that wants to come and I already have whenever I plan and figure out how to work it I have about 200 250 people that want to come for that signing and that's just like a small wrestler but the YouTube people like uh I feel like we're too old here's the problem we have right you're in a very congested area of our town you have plenty of parking out back you have no problems with that right we can't have 250 people coming in so to hit store I mean it's just not so we were looking at having it scheduled signing so it's not just 250 people right off the bat cuz I don't know where I'd put them that we don't know where you would put them that's our problem so it would be we were looking at it I was just talking to the people and we do for the day so it start at my opening and then it would end at the end of the night so we'd have maybe like 20 30 people come in an hour that gives you the person time to interact with the person there everything everyone's happy not swamped and the store isn't that big do they come by appointment yeah so we already were looking at how to do that so that would be the best situation um I mean the big goal is maybe one day figure out how to use the parking lot and do whatever permits nonsense so I can have like a toy show there and then have a bunch of stuff going like I already have people that would come be vendors there something big event and there are events across the street that you would participate in so right at the Gaze and uh oh I've been trying to talk well me and Dr brw Littles were talking we're gonna think well trying to figure out how to do a collab with my crypted logo and do like a beer brand so they're going there they're coming to me I can sell the glasses at my store like back and forth It's I I know I'm all over the place describing this cuz in my head I'm like I have a million things to do see enough tunnel vision either not just looking I just oh you should see the notepads all on my desk it's terrible but uh I'm trying to figure out like how to make it so I can not just make myself money but make this town money and like I could work with anyone on Main Street I just I I don't know in my head like I have this big like grand plan and like it's going to be this is my dream come true so so that would be a specialty event yes and I I would suspect you'd have several of those a year but on the normal daily basis it's 20 30 people coming in a day maybe more depends on like uh if so when I buy collections I put it on my YouTube channel uh when I buy storage units I put on the YouTube channel and I've had 30 40 people show up within an hour to get whatever I picked up because I'm like okay I got it and the video goes up and I get messages people know where I am so it'll be what are your hours what are your hours what are you the hours I think I applied for 8 to8 or okay I forget who was telling me to figure that out last time but uh one of uh it could change but excuse me I'm not sure exactly because also if it's just me I still have a two-year-old at home what's the latest you would ever be open 8:00 that's my bedtime s days six days s days seven days I want to do probably Sunday's like shorter hours so I can be home but I can approve for the most you can always shorten them that's what I was told last time just terrible and names and you told me what I guarantee two of them people are sitting in yes no big delivery trucks right if you're taking everything from so there's not 18 whe coming that's about it abos uh actually no the U-Haul goes to the house so yeah it would just be basic regular car just what your bring at this time I'm going to open up this application to public does anybody in the public have any input into this application as we're hearing it seeing nobody in the public I'll entertain a motion to close the public portion made second all those in favor I opposed okay questions for the board so you said one to two employees yeah if I can sucker someone into helping me 8 to eight no maximum past 8 o' Sunday for seven days yep seven days and you said you're not going to have any cboard cuz the carboard it will go to my house like uh I was unboxing shelving pieces other day I just cut them off put in my car and they go and recycle it out okay okay because I see the mess already that's out there yeah Claire it's it's overflowing now it's it's a real mess out there what is the carboard and the trash whole another resolution just spoke about from the other yes people okay it's got oh because they just closed the urban promise yeah and one of the dumpsters are theirs but I don't know anything else I'm staying have it smart that's where I thought you were going in there oh no that's cuz there was a rumor that we were going arcade you were going to beap shade Rumor Mill was roll yeah the rumor was couldn't be EXA any other questions oh do you take trade in do you do you take if someone has like garbage pale kids cards in their garage and a kind of lunch can I mean I already have a bunch of don't we don't know anybody that may you open so yes you would just go to the store whatever or you can call cuz I figured out how to use a landline again after that but you can call you could find me online or you can just show up at the store and I'll be there like hey I got some stuff I go to houses so if it's like I don't want to carry this but this is what I got I I am more than willing to work with anyone okay I just didn't know if you did like people come in and say I have okay that's how you get your cash yeah okay I just have one question is the name of the business going to be the cryptic toys and games so that it will be on the sign yeah I don't know if uh um it has my logo okay the little guy there I was going to wear it but I'm like I can't wear a weird shirt to this why not it's not weird if it's your company logo I don't know someone be like wow he's dressed like a homeless person on the YouTube on the what name I'm sorry on the YouTube oh same thing everything across the board crypted toys you type into Google you'll find me everywhere like And subscribe I don't go away but yeah the YouTube I'm like I've been putting videos up and people seem to be really interested they you have quite a catalog I checked out your YouTube channel sorry it's no it it's actually entertaining but yeah it there's like thousands of videos I feel like right like you've been doing this for a long time and yeah yeah it started probably like six seven years ago it was a different entity then and then and starting the store I'm like I'm just going to start fresh but yeah YouTube's fun yeah he's he's kind of an open book cuz like if you know you were saying you were creeped out by whatever go on his YouTube channel you can you know he's an open book he's literally telling you what he does and doesn't sell and buy and so like tonight's video is me in the ceilings playing with the installation doing the wires for the cameras and it starts out me in the ceiling so there you go I wish you luck with your business my night is
