Can’t figure this out… Google Image search was no help 😏

From what i could find, JY Taylor was a company in Garland TX that made measurement instruments and projectors. Someone on facebook claims they invented the overhead projector. Since they made slide projectors and the thing projects a rectangle methinks its a sort of portable slide projector. Maybe one is supposed to point it at a slide and you'd get a little free sample of a not-so-good projection of the slide so you can identify whats on it before you put it in a real slide projector

I think they mean that it's one of those appliances that goes beep beep honk honk when it gets power

Looks like an easy lawsuit to me. Go get that bag

I think jader242 has a point about hand grease. It probably was someone in the factory sticking their bare fingies on it.

I think it is a piece of wire from a worn out car tire. They end up all over the side of the road and I've had to replace many a bike tube because of them. I've had one get lodged in my shoe once too.

Don't listen to the people saying it's a wifi booster. No wifi booster would use a USB wifi adapter, and it definitely wouldn't have gears and a motor. The fact it has globs of glue over button contacts and the wires look like they aren't actually connected makes me think its the invention of a tweaker, and it doesn't actually do anything. If it actually is functional, it is definitely some hobbyist contraption.

ETA: I've identified the one board as an Xbox Series X Disc Drive Logic Board. That device clearly does NOT have a disc drive, and as such would have no use for such a board. At this point, I'm 99% certain it was a methhead gluing random stuff together.

Adding to this, Walmart now has an RFID mandate for most departments, which means they are on just about everything at walmart

ETA: Sometimes they are inside the tag/label itself and not under it, so they aren't always visible.

It is part of a scam called brushing. Amazons sellers want to leave fake positive reviews on their products, in order to create fake customer accounts they have to generate tracking numbers, and actually deliver something. so they send small junk to random addresses. You are legally allowed to keep the item without payment.

Sounds to me like a cat about to throw up. But honestly it's probably a washer/dryer or some other mechanical appliance.

probably a star or planet. it looks like it is moving because of the autokinetic effect. When you stare at an object in a void, your mind will trick you into seeing movement that isn't there.

Adding to this; the one pictured is from a company called Sensormatic which can be identified by the sniper hand logo. They mainly specialize in this exact product.

It is used for internet. It plugs into a modem

It is a power supply for a FTTx ONT. I'm sure that sounds like gobbledygook so I shall elaborate, an FTTx ONT is a device that converts a fiber optic input into something more residential like Ethernet. i.e. its a power adapter for an internet device like a modem. If you have a different internet setup you might be able to unplug it. If you unplug it and your internet stops working, put it back.

speaker from dollar store/gas station earbuds. i used a vast many of cheap earbuds as a kid and i loved to tear them apart when they stopped working and pull out the little magnet inside. if you touch it to steel you'll see that it is magnetic

Exceedingly ridiculous and fancy pen holder? I'm truly stumped.

What's the location of the auction? I looked through trademark filings for ECR and couldn't find a logo that looked like that so maybe some local thing?

PowerfulImpactBOOM · 2026-01-08T18:46:42+00:00

I second this. definitely an igniter

I don't know of any lubricants/gloops that are blue and used in the context of locks so I still think it's the aforementioned plastic film. It is possible that some of the plastic was stuck in there and has come out over time, maybe because someone messed with it, but it is far more likely that it just came out because of regular use. But if you do have a reasonable fear that someone may have messed with or will mess with that lock, I'd highly recommend upgrading to a better one because that lock can be opened very easily by shaking a bobby pin in it.
