Morning, everyone. It is now 4.44 a.m. Today's Thursday. It is the January 15th, 2026. Yeah. So some interesting stuff yesterday. I did a couple of videos. One was the earlier. Then I did the PS4 looking at some VR stuff, I did a whole bunch of it, a lot. Going through it, we're talking about it. And I was doing a nice video. And then I really I realized I had another negative feedback. So it was from an international buyer and to regards to an international shipping fee that has nothing to do with me. It was huge. It was a lot.

So the most I've ever paid. So I've talked about it for many, many times. I decided to go around the world a few years back and try to find one of every gaming system ever made. And many of the original vintage computers. In order to do that, I paid so much money extra international shipping costs over the years. Crazy amounts that I can't even explain how much I spent. But I can say the one that I spent the most on is a power supply I bought. I needed it for a laptop.

I couldn't find it anywhere. The only guy that had it was in Australia. It cost me an extra $100 just to ship it from Australia to me. I wasn't happy about it, but I wanted that product. right and so I bought it never it didn't fix my power it didn't fix my laptop unfortunately so it was a lose lose for me but I never I always give the seller five five star feedback I would never bring the international shipping cost into the sellers feedback as a negative thing I had no control over that this was not as

quite as much as that but pretty close and the thing what he did is he ordered one thing and i shipped it out of course i shipped things out pretty much the same day and then they contacted me the next day and said hey i want to add something else to my order i already shipped it you should have contacted me yesterday and he asked me for a set of screws i said well i have to put a set of screws together this is for the amiga 1000 very super hard to find parts if i wouldn't have broken them down they wouldn't even have been available. So he, I said, oh, I'll get the screw sets. I put it together. And it was actually two sets. And he ordered it. And he got whacked with some so giant charge. I contact him. And I said, hey, I see a charge. And I told him, I said, try to contact eBay. Maybe they'll

take it off. But I have no control over it. And I specifically contact, let him know that I didn't have any control over it. That extra international shipping cost does not charge. does not go into my pocket at all. I simply was selling two sets of screws for X amount and $4 shipping. That's all I sold. So he got to just whacked with the international feed and took it out of me. So one of those things was my day yesterday. I was having a good day yesterday.

But I kind of had a feeling I was going to hit that, but I forgot about it. So I got whacked. But again, there has nothing to do with me. Nothing I can control. I can't take away the price that I paid for the... I can't give you money back from what I charge for the product to compensate for your shipping costs for international. Can't do it. I'm not going to do it.

No one's ever done it for me. And again, if I can tell you how much money I've spent extra on international shipping costs, shopping around the world. If you're a few years, it's craziness. No one's ever even contacted me or talked about it. So just bloke in my Facebook. But I kind of expected it. But what do you know? I filed a complaint against it and asked eBay to take the remove that thing.

It has really nothing to do with selling. And the shipping charges, and you put it as extorted shipping charge. Like I'm extorting them or something. So I don't have any of that. That was the end of my day yesterday. So we'll see what's going on today. And then I had somebody order,

contact me about two things. They wanted a specific one, so I went around, found him for him, set it up, gave him the pictures of it, and then he bested off of me on him. I was like, no, man, don't do that. Don't contact me directly, ask for special things, and then want to take money off. It should be the opposite. I should be charging you more, not less, find you something special, direct one-on-one customer service.

I didn't want to hear that yesterday because that was raised. after I get that negative feedback so I just was like dude I didn't do let's find somebody else for days all right so let's get this business we did have an Etsy Etsy order yesterday so I got that out the highs and lows are shallow been a lot of loans lightly I usually just shake it off but just it's frustrating so I said yeah we did have an order yesterday I got an out was for the Nintendo GameCube cartridge front panel port cover and the little flats.

I'd look around and find some, but we did. We got those out yesterday. I had a few other orders on email yesterday besides that. And then that thing came out. I think we did another video before the PS4. I can't know what the order was. We'll remember in a few minutes. I was going to do more with the VR, but I don't have the PS4 that works.

But what I did line yesterday, you can take all that PS4 VR stuff and use it on a PS5 did not know that I just need to adapt it for the camera we're going to find one of us today so we'll wait because I have my PS5 of course it's account locked but I can use it for my death stranding disc and play discs on it so it's pretty awesome we're at Parshmark as usual just going through the routine let's see what we got going on why get a big snowstorm this week have $1,298, Marshmark. The model changed now, so it may hit us. No sales. RSS, let's look at the news for a minute. Besides all the chaos in the world, try not to look at it quickly.

Patriots got to play the Texas weekend, boy, it's going to be quite a defeat. I don't think they can pull off. But they have one other game, It's going to be a tough one. Of course, the last coach for the Steelers resigned. I knew he was going to. It's been to 18 years, and it's the same.

You got to mix it up. You get three, four years for a coach. Anything where, anything could happen? No, and then you move on. Just on him there. That's why you get one of the States for a while. Look, that's after the Patriots. We got lucky, though.

I got Josh Bing Daniels back. I made a huge difference. All right, so, yeah, so the Patriots football game may have snow involved. So hopefully they're preparing for a lot of running for that game. So let's see what's going on next. RSS feed. So today, oh, yesterday I've been working on my workbench. I had more shelves cleared out in those space where all my little buddies used to be.

Small stuff there. There's a lot of big things I need to go through. I need to clear out space. So we're going to do that. And we're going to go on to some other projects, some computer stuff. It'll list some more things. So we got a lot of stuff going on. Yeah, I spent a lot of time I worked out yesterday.

You can't really see it where I moved it, but I moved a lot of stuff out of the way. And I put a big giant show. All right, let's see what we were going on yesterday. Oh, we've one download. 688 in the last 30 days, 2,212. My message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. Very cool to see where I get. Axel is in the Netherlands, Canada, Toronto.

United States is Richmond. I mean, Richmond is United States. Minneapolis is United States and Singapore's still around. It would be awesome. It's a little doubt to all over the world. Pretty well. Places I would never go or be able to go. But it's cool to see them and see my voice get sent all the way to there.

So it's pretty good. I'm not pretty fascinating. Oh, and then we want to check monetize, of course. Let's see the big bucks we're making here. Oh, I'm up to 41 cents again. The highest I got was 45 cents. My estimated balance is 41 cents. At some point, it's going to transfer over to available balance.

But when it does, it'll knock it way down because it's saying estimated balance. Last time my estimated balance was 45. When I got to available, when I went over to available balance, it went down to 15 cents. And 15 cents is my lifetime at all. That's all I made so. It's being monetized in July. I can get started. And so my PayPal got 15 cents.

Okay, I think I was I can say I made something. All right, so let's look. It's next here. Also, let's jump to some YouTube action. Of course, what I did with the video, I was so aggravated towards, I was doing a video and I always keep a track of my eBay at the same time. I was doing the VR video and then I looked over and I saw the negative feedback.

So I turned the end of the negative, end of the VR feedback into replying to the negative feedback. So you'll see me talking all about the VR for a little bit. And then I also realized I got another negative feedback. And I turn the camera on that and then I finish up with the video and discussed about having to reply to it. Pretty interesting stuff. I can't script any of the stuff. It just comes at me.

I always get beat up and banged up. No reason. All these feedbacks are all unnecessary, but there's what it is. Of course, I never, although that one, I would like to get eBay to take that off because it's talking about international shipping fees and it has nothing to do with me.

But either way, just leave it there. We talk about it anyway. I always talk about it. but in the bad. So we're still dropping here on YouTube. I'm still at my 103,000, but it's in question now because I'm down to 80. 103,080.

I've lost 465 in the last 28 days. You keep dropping. I'm not promoting for subscribers anymore. That peak that I had was 103,655. And we've realized, actually realized a long time ago that

the amount of subscribers here has nothing to do with I monetize because my views are still up though, 1.7 million, watch hours, 12.2K, estimated revenue, $21.33. Sometimes I get really frustrating. I don't have to say that. Really frustrating. If I look at my main video, let's see where that's at now. 100,000 videos, I'm still leaving that one there. But it says my estimated revenue should be 3K to 9K. This is what my, according to IQ, it's a sum. on my main page that's what it says my estimated earning should be 3k to 9k at this point a hundred dollars a month would be wonderful for all the work I put in but we have in order for sales 21 3 3 3 3 so the top three videos are still

will have two more left promoting 21 29 4k for many times dishon a sneaky buyer and after 5 million views is still at 21 29.2 then after I have to drop sound of 50047 I think we did some Apple yesterday did Apple yesterday no that was the day before oh let me look at the other video I did it and I know what did the second oh we took out the tech collect I came in it's an RGB to hdmi I couldn't get it to work I did three did three videos yesterday actually

I've got these tandy TRS80 model 2000s I know they work but I just can't seem to get the right signal I don't have a right monitor. If I got this Rathri Pi board thing from TechALEC. I couldn't get it to. They'll come in. Still, the only other options is to go out and try to find the CM1 monitor,

which is the original monitor for it. But there's a board, the board, motherboard itself has a different output. So I've got some cables to work on that. So we're going to see if I can set that up and try to run. run it through that but we're going to try this tech collect board through some other RGB out stuff and see if it works on that so all kinds of many it's a menu

go into it through a menu there's buttons on it kind of think it all about out I can't get it to pull the signal because those Tandy T rcd model 2000s has a specific 26 point something parts output I guess can't find it and get it all right so let's go to ebay so we're kind of chaos i got going on today there's a lot of it i've looked for a long stretch i don't have any really problems but now only good is i get auto feedback for ebay so it kind of varies those negatives but you just click out all the negatives yeah see it says extorted shipping costs The extortionated

extortionated shipping course The seller agreed But nothing did nothing about it Because there was nothing I can do a lot I have no control over You know what And this is so deceiving He doesn't even specify that

He's actually an international buyer And it's an international shipping cost problem That's not even put in there But of course I replied Let's say how this all Really went down You're across the world This was an overseas shipping charge

that only eBay does. I charge $4 shipping cost anywhere in the US. You purchased one item from me. Never contact me about needing anything else before I shipped it. Next, you want a set of screws. I put two together for you. You bought it. We interacted about the shipping cost, which I explained I had no control over it or goes in my pocket. You never canceled. You took the order anyway. I suggested contact and eBay about the fees. So you not only did, I talk about it and agree with it I also give me an idea

of what he can do a lot nothing I can do I wasn't taking away my charge compensate for that I'll just take the negative feedback and move on okay so that was only negative on the two orders

one on your message so we've sold a power supply for the oh I also have another order I came late last night too I'm going to print that out that's an intention under GameCube the top and bottom shell of the silver case casing you're to find those today one power supply for the super slim and a serial port panel for the

Xbox so that's what else want to beat me up today return approved why I reach you or it's a return something why did they return another unnecessary turn let's see the details on this doesn't work defective says it's defective super Mario buddy brother clean kit doesn't work effective something is bent I don't attempt to play the game from original editors those of it times only the black screen no video also notice the game case has a broken tab and certain badly creased tab was a piece of broken off the tab oh well I'll also help to come back I'm a requestly return this item since isn't a condition I was expecting I don't know so

that's come back what more damage done it super Mario brother it says oh so $10 yeah I know we talked about that he wants the two just it's two LEDs for the Super Nintendo all right so yeah let me do that he wants just the two LED covers just the LED cover so yeah that's fine we again you ask me question that's different is the jungle expansion that's original it is original really so this is for the Nintendo n64 it is original but really bluish no returns on it's really bluish they turn blue there's this is a jungle green n64 just the expansion pack cover really bluish in that so trying to get that so another half act

a couple orders you get a return there's one of the return I had I have one other return for two little this is the person I had a return for something that didn't work I don't know if I ever tested that or not I didn't know I'll test it back so that return is on a super Nintendo I had the cartridge cleaning kit and a super super soccer He says it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I tested that work and discouraged. But we'll just take the return and move on.

$72 Commodore. So I'm just going to call me. See, when I get really frustrated and aggravated, any sort of an offer, I just decline. I don't want to deal with it. Certainly not doing the other ones. That's a heck no. I can't put in the building in the same box.

So this is for a Commodore 128, the top cover. I'd be way down I can't put them together in the same way I mean I could but it was for one one was for the this drive

and one is for the um blabber drive I'm not taking either one one return figure out what happened when that comes back I think I can test the

Super Nintendo I think I still have some stuff to do that all right everyone so that's pretty much it today hold them down not down with dumps but just a little frustrated

but it's just part of the selling process and all that good stuff but we'll just jump right to do some fun stuff later on just use it to just shake it off and so I don't get off

in the returns but we got I want to offer with that people just and that all that 30% off discount has no bearing really because people's still

gonna not be not anymore but there's what it's all right so we got Let's see. I made a couple dollars. Let's see. Send some. And I always threw another 5%.

So it was like 35% off. All right. So we'll go on with some good fun stuff later on. All right, everyone. So you guys have a good Thursday we're into. And then tomorrow will be Friday. I think we have some snow this weekend. Pages to play.

So it'll be cool. Be a good weekend. All right. You have a great day. I will talk to tomorrow. Bye.
