A shipwreck from the 1800s turns up on a Florida beach

And erosion from two recent hurricanes exposed it at Daytona Beach Shores, but archeologists say the ship is in such a delicate state that they don't plan to dig it up.

A mysterious wooden object turned up on a Florida beach last month. Archaeologists say it's a shipwreck from the 1800s - 80 feet long - and erosion from two recent hurricanes exposed it at Daytona Beach Shores. Archaeologists say the ship is in such a delicate state, they don't plan to dig it up. Instead, they're planning to take pictures and study the ship until the tide buries it with sand again.

Any one know what PayPal means in a text message when they say...

"msg and data rates may apply" if I respond to their text? Surely they don't charge customers for us
to talk to them, do they?

Did I over pay for this stuff?

Long story short, I should have checked out what the auctioneer told me, I trusted this guy after knowing
him for about a dozen years... "everything in that box is all factory sealed". I should have dug deeper,
everything on the top half was but not the bottom half. Had 2 out-of-state telephone bidders and just
decided to outbid them.

That being said, for $2550 I came away with these games with unopened factory seals, have never looked
twice at video games in my life but I did because of out-of-state bidders. Hope I didn't lose money!

Playstation 1.......

Ford Racing
Pro-Pinball, Fantastic Journey
Dukes of Hazzard, Daisy Dukes it Out

Playstation 2

Final Fantasy X
Dirge of Cerberus, Final Fantasy VII (2 each)
Final Fantasy X
Virtua Fighter 4
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII

Nintendo

Pool Of Radiance
Tombs & Treasure
The Legend of Zelda (The wind Walker)
The Legend of Zelda (Four Swards Adventures
The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition (Promotional Disc...Not For Resale)

Windows 95
Myst
NHRA Drag Racing Main Event

And 9 games that factory seal is gone but don't appear to have ever been used, no box wear or scratches.
One is a Sega Genesis Sonic 3 (The Hedgehog)

Not for sure how to liquidate these, other than the really high dollar ones on Ebay went through a "Grader"
Where's the best place to have these "Graded"? Believe it would increase the value.

Everything I got are the last 4 pictures of video games here.......

Any help would be appreciated how to move these down the road.

Could we use this messaging app (PSA) to our advantage?

First off.........https://www.storyboardthat.com/articles/e/public-service-announcements

A public service announcement, commonly known by the PSA acronym, is a message spread in the interest of the
public. The objectives of PSAs are to raise awareness and change public attitudes, opinions, or even behavior
towards an issue. These messages can be instructional, inspirational, or even shocking to elicit emotion and action.

The only types of organizations that are eligible for PSAs are governmental agencies, civic groups, and non-profits.


OK, lets say a week or so prior to Congress voting on some legislation someone from the White House or congress
airs a PSA, example: "On 01/05/5555 the House/Senate will be voting on a BILL that will be adding/subtracting
to our Constitution, if you feel this Bill will affect you personally, please share your concerns with your elected
officials."

All their telephone #s, E-mails, and addresses can be found here at.....(Clever, easy to remember).GOV
Also post their voting records on this website.

Lots of people are saying we need better messaging, let's just start messaging using PSAs, get voters more involved
in what's going on in Washington DC on a regular basis instead of only during election season. Let's start priming them
NOW to VOTE Democrat in 2024.
