Morning everyone. It's actually late this morning. I slept in and I actually am still tired. I still haven't woke up yet. It is 6.47 a.m., of course. Today is January the 9th, 2026, and we're on Friday. So last day of work week, pretty often. Go back into the weekend. And we are on a warm spell right now. So yesterday was almost 50. Not quite here in Wesley, but mid-state was probably 50. Today we're, oh, be somewhere there and then we'll kind of inch back down towards me a little bit colder no forecasts of any sort of snow or anything like that so we pretty much just maybe a little bit of rain here and there so we're staying a little bit above average for weather but that's about it so yesterday what did you yesterday oh yesterday was busy it was busy all the day with order pretty much which is a good thing uh and then i sat and we oh we played our own PS two fats yesterday that I had an order for a motherboard. So that was my little thing.

In about an hour, I tried to give you as many much information about every motherboard as I could. I try to be good like that. Just give you a quick synopsis of the whole deal. And then the end of the orders, and then I, oh, I play,

I've ended my day with playing some death training too, of course. That's my little treat. We'll keep doing that. I'm going to savor that game probably for the next year. So we're only into the next we just built my first monorail so it's pretty awesome this is a little island I want to get to that island with inventories so that's where we're at we still got to go connect all the stuff that we haven't done yet pretty fun all right so let's see what's going on this moment here

just look at the news of course let's get back into the world here all the coaches got fired and miami's coach finally got fired which i saw that one coming Everybody wants the other coach that got fired. That's what happens. Like I said, that one coach was there for us too many years. All right, so let's look along for the news besides that. I don't see anything. All right, so let's see what we got going on there.

Let's get to business. Get a quick news, look, regroup. Recap, I didn't see anything that. So Etsy's been quiet. I can now because the Wii has turned 20 years old. Maybe I'll start doing that today. I can add a wee. stuff so wet Etsy supposed to be anything it's homemade or over 20 years so

technically we are ready to add that some wee stuff and I have some wee stuff that's home brew too I was having trouble selling them on eBay it'll give me a hard time about that but I think I can do it on Etsy because everybody else stuff like that so that's what we're gonna do maybe we'll do I'll do an exact I have a whole box of home brew bees with a lot of them have lots of fun games on them so that's what we'll do i'll pull some we all my homebrew we game uh consoles up but we haven't done anything but we so we'll do a video later showing testing retesting some we with all the home brews on pretty fun stuff i wouldn't really play a wee but home brew i can use

a regular controller on most games so then that's that's all right i don't want to use not one thing so nothing on that c harsh mark you need to clean this up big time time. I haven't rushed to do it because we really haven't had any sales. It'll be the one sale of the thing I don't have anymore. So I got to stop that. 1,293 followers. So I gained a follower. Pretty cool. And we only had that one order and I got a little excited because I got my first order and then that was it. But technical parched market is for closing on itself. I can't really expect much. You never know. social media spot is what I use it as.

It doesn't cost me to be here or anything, so why not? All right, so let's look at my RSS feed. This morning. Let's check out if we handed on this. We had three downloads yesterday. It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go.

It's always cool to see it. 729 the last 30 days. That's like over the top for me. normally it's usually around 30 for 30 days usually have one per day so we had that one person that did all those downloads

was pretty awesome 2,190 all time last two episodes two so Singapore is still there 558 United States Elgin is 5

that's a lot Brazil is new for me Carnaba carnaba I can tell you say that and Orlando So I could all the red dots around the world. Most of them are in the United States right now.

But there's one in Brazil there. So that's pretty cool. Helps me remember where countries are. Because I'm not really good with geography. I mean the geography. That's the word geography? All right. Let's monetize.

Let's see what we're at for my payment. So we all know the big bucks. Still at 31 cents. I've zero amounts that I'm going to, that I can withdraw. and automatically withdraws, goes in my PayPal account. And to date, I've made 15 cents. Podcasting.

But at least I can say I've made money on podcast. Being a podcaster, certainly a lot, but I've made money. All right. So let's get to some business. And that would be to YouTube. Of course, then we have the eBay, and then my mom really starts then. And everything can all heck and break loose. the photo and there you go so continuing on the run what I decided to do is for

that nice fire that slammed me a couple times I'm gonna keep running that video as my main feed for quite some time let's see how many views I've gotten so far now I promoted heavily we really went out 26,558 so I'm gonna make sure to keep that up as my main photo Even, not only did he use the second reply, just no one's ever done that, so that's pretty awesome. So I've got to make sure I can get as many people as possible to see all of that. Was that a dead board?

Let's see we have one message. Alive that's, I have many. Some are. Some were. Some were. This is. I had a few that worked. Many do not.

I was doing that PS2. I've got three stacks of boards. I'm going to sell for parts of the ones that didn't work by the exact numbers of them, 0.01. So now I'm in negative. So I finally in the last 88 to it, I have a 103,165. We're still dropping. I'm actually negative 24 in the last 28 days, but it's a lot more than that.

My peak was the 165 was at 655. I stopped promoting for subscribers because it's really just pointless at this point. I said point twice. So my views are still at 1.6 million, the last 28 days, but that'll all change. 13.3. My top videos are still the last Etsy has been my favorite. It's 33.8.5 million views. 29.4 of course these are all and then and now I many times the dishonest sneaky buyers is is my top three

27.4 the other two the promotions are gonna end therefore those will drop down to nothing and then this will be my only video that I'm gonna run for the month as my first as my main video and my only promoter video I just can't afford them just getting killed when it comes to that there's no benefit this cost at the end of the day key is here my estimated revenue is 21 dollars and 96 cents so I can get the a lot of views on a video but it doesn't help you know all right in my live stream though I did they have a you can do a shit there's a live stream short for my desk training I had 250 was on the monorail pretty awesome it's my treat like I said

if I get some time just to sit back and just go into that little world pretty awesome not many games where you can I feel like I'm in the game like in the world but that's stranding the original one and then this one you're in it man you're you're basically in the world it's really cool no other game can even touch that these games so I get so just that's why I'm not buying more of the game except uh another exciting thing February is almost here and that means Resident Evil wreck games coming out I've already got it on Nintendo Switch we'll turn that on maybe play a little Zelda and make sure I get that downloaded we got another month left pretty awesome all right so let me figure oh so let's get the business

all right let's see what happens now ready boom here we go eBay all times of action still poking stuff up I listed a couple things yesterday let's look at I'm always worry about feedback now. We have a Japan feedback here. So I'll have to translate that. I mean, it's completely in different language. It looks like Japan. Me Winnie, the Wii replacement drive works. 1-5 untested keyboard. Oh cool, the keyboard worked for them. A lot of times I don't know if something works. That was for an Apple PowerBook 150. I would assume a keyboard did work. So I look what it did. All right. So we're going to actually go to my chat GPT for a second. Anybody that takes Bill Belichick is cold crazy. I want to see what this translation. It's all in that, I don't know if it's Japan or what this is,

but I'm gonna find out when I'm translate it right now. It says translate into English. What language is? this let's let's go find it so in the feedback my number one my first feet my last feedback it's all those little numbers that's to me languages is so amazing to me how would you ever that's the way you learned how to speak or actually how to write all right so he's going to translate language is Japanese I received the item today thank you very much I have an opportunity

I would definitely do business again that's pretty cool so that's what I do if I see something a different language my feedback of course I want to reply to it and so so that anybody that views my feedback can understand it says translation in English as follows I mean maybe I'm getting sick again I don't he translated that So if I see that, I always do that from, because I can reply to any, any, uh, and if I see any dings or dents on a positive one or obviously negative, neutral, I'm definitely going to reply to.

But the buyer does get the last word and on my two last negatives, he had the last word, which was just more slamming on me, basically. I haven't seen, you know, the funny thing is I have not seen those, uh, cartridge slots come back yet. I know why he's holding off on it. I wonder. That's interesting. It's in such a rush. I said such a bad product.

How come he hasn't returned yet? I'm sure I'll have a back somewhere. Eligible offer offers. Oh, we have six offers. Just have one order for the 7901 PS2 Slim. And it is the fan and all the screws and stuff inside of it. All right, so let's jump on. So feedback was cool today.

Cool. You never know. See if we have any other damage control. Secondary payment. That's cool. $500. Oh yeah. Now we're getting down a real low stuff.

Yeah. Somebody's offered me $500 from my. I'm getting into the point where I may tear this down. It's my double D. I got it with my N64. I got it as low as under 1,800. And that's what I paid for. And I'm adding it.

add in my own line 64 let me just block this guy so because I'll do that I still haven't done one that's my thank you for you know I'll take I had one good off that wasn't too bad but it was still a little bit lower I just wasn't ready yet get that person out of there I got enough things to deal with without being that's that's not even half hack that's a three-quarter hack taking three-quarters off of something I already have 35% or that's not happening anymore a couple things came in yesterday I'm winning a cable we're going to build a cable

going forward it's for making my TRS 8 and Tandy TRS 80 model 2000s I got some cable and things I'm going to build a cable to test the bottom but I'm waiting for another piece and we have a mod it we have a Raspberry Pi

TTI to H-TMI converter award coming in not from eBay, though, it's from a website, tech website. Looks pretty cool. And so, yeah, I just plug it in. And then I got my extender cable now. It came in yesterday.

And one side of my cables came in. They're pretty cool. And I'm waiting for us a couple other things, too. But that's it. I've really buckled down now. All the fun stuff. We're just going to retest stuff and sell stuff. All right, so that was one.

All right, let's see what else we go? for a cari tary 400 bottom 800 I think I have a box for it though

that's fine I'll do a couple sales all in Washington but we'll take another five dollars off of that really don't want to but

kind of need some orders here so called scrap cash so we're going to get some scrap cash together here it's all good stuff

but still little little parts so all right so Sonic Adventure, $39. I've been trying to sell that whole thing forever. So we're going to finally let that go. Some discs.

Directors cut. Time crisis. Good enough. It's something I've been trying to sell for a while. I just haven't been only getting much for it. So we're just probably going to let it go through it. So yes, I do accept offers. But I don't have to.

That's the key. And I only do it when I'm ready. Right? $14. So now you're getting down, you're chopping something down from there to that. So I'm not going to take that one. I have a lot of those into cases. Yeah, maybe I will take that. Some most, I think it's a quarter of my listings are still grandfather with free shipping, but that's going to change. Even my little guys, I've got to have $4 for everything now. I just won't sell anything. But it doesn't matter if I can't. I've got to have at least $4 shipping costs. But I'm trying to hold off. So we'll do a few of these little offers that are lower, but I can make a few dollars. And I know I have a lot of them. So, yes, I do take offers. I will pay immediately positive feedback.

Oh, yeah, not. Actually, you know what? Yeah, just do it. All right, I'm going to take that board too, which is a PAL version of the NES. So I took a lots of, oh, there's only, I took a lot of, I took a lot of, really low offers. Just to stop, so I can build up some hurting bombs, as I call it.

That's from, I always say that, it's my little thing, building hurt and bombs. It comes from Rocky Valwola, the movie. I like that one. When he was old, he fights for the last time. He's getting, and they're working on that workout, and they say, well, let's build some hurting bombs.

So I use that all the time as my little saying. I'm trying to build up some capital. I'll build up other things like that. So we got a little bit. What we are doing is really chopping away at that loan. We should have that thing finished by a couple months. It would be awesome.

Then we can go and get some more fun stuff. We used to do with PayPal all the time. I just keep it going. Plus now the things are changing and maybe at my own, on my own at some point. Although my mother did go out yesterday. She went out. She went shopping.

She went all her places all in our own. which is really good to see after the last few months and all the cool weather it was nice out so it was good to see her get out so I felt good about that she was feeling good about doing that

so pretty cool yeah Libris is the loan I have still alive me still half of what I yeah a little bit less than half but we're getting there lots of things going on I can do many things at once usually so now I have four orders

that's a little bit better little small things again, scrub cash. All right, so that's it. So nothing else exciting, which is great, because I just need a break from all things, drama, eBay, and all that. At the end of the day, all I'm trying to do

is get orders out the best I can, as quick as I can. And that's it. Pretty simple stuff. But it can turn really crazy to anything, as we've seen. And my main video on my page will stay there. assume that's my that's my last word he got the last word on the feedback but at the end of the day i get the last word on the youtube channel so it'll stay there and you can judge either way

just i just keep the facts not really about compassion someone more about the facts so anyway so that'll be for this morning everyone i will talk to you tomorrow and it will be into the weekend all right have a good day bye
