Part 2/8:
The speaker begins by announcing an intention to create a video showcasing their collection of metal samples available on eBay. Over the years, they've sold numerous samples, indicating a sustained interest from collectors, researchers, or enthusiasts. Some of these samples have been around for a long time, with the speaker recalling a "feeler" campaign years ago where they asked if people still had their samples to return or test them. Many were returned, and others were kept in piles, suggesting a long-term accumulation driven by curiosity and experimentation.
