Morning, everyone. It is now 4.52 a.m. This is Wednesday. It is January 7th, 2026. And so we're on the hump day. First work week, after all the holidays and everything, getting into the groove of the long dark winter. Although we're getting a warm spell here in Rhode Island.

We have two. We've been really cold for this last month. So we're going to get three or four days of 40 or 50 degree weather, which is, like, bombing weather for us over here and right now. So that's pretty awesome. So I did get my mother out yesterday. She hasn't been out in a while. We go to the neighborhood center, so I was able to get her out.

I go do a little shopping over and get lots of food and all kinds of stuff. There's never any, you can always get a lot of food at a place like that. Neighborhood Center, Johnny Cake Center. We're going to take her maybe there today. so it's good to get her out about a little bit so doing more caretaking as we go go forward here now so usually goes on our own maybe in the summer should be able to go on her own maybe she won't maybe I'll always have to take her now things have changed already quickly before they've been changing

significantly you can just see it in your parents as they're getting into that next stage it's pretty scary stuff so hard to watch it but then at the same time you're doing the same thing you're getting older too so pretty it's It's a little difficult, but we just do the best I can. And, of course, yesterday we worked on that negative feedback, and that's the first time yesterday that the buyer actually, the buyer gets the last word. So it's the first time the buyer actually replied to the reply,

which is fine, that's his business. He can do what you want. So we made a long video we talked about it, and this is all about on the seller's side. And I actually had an interesting comment already. We'll see if we get more comments. but it was from somebody that usually gives

messages once in a while comments on my YouTube channel and his was of course on the buyer's side when he had experience for the buyer but I'm going to add to that comment today I would love to hear the side of that seller

see what his story was because there is two sides to every story buyers are not always right and they just sellers often we'll stand up for what they sell. Pretty simple. And that's pretty much for today.

Oh, then what else would do yesterday? Oh, so we decided to die. I only had a little time before I took my mother yesterday. So we got inside the Amiga 2000. Pretty awesome. I got my bridgeboard inserted, and then I learned, that's why I do this, is why I get stuff, that there is a Zoro slot.

There's an I-S-A slot, a Zoro slot so in this this bridgeboard has two slots I never heard of I I didn't know anything about a Zoro slot so now I know the bridge board has two slots you got to see it where I put it in that's as far as I got because I had to go take my mother we had to go do some stuff and also a couple things came in my my special things hopefully to update I'm gonna try to make a my first AI There's just a head for now. I have a little of a concept for it, but it means just basic.

But right now I just have the head, my dummy zippy. Obviously, it doesn't do anything. But eventually with these things that just came in, there was all right from China. It wasn't a speed pack, but it still took almost two weeks. But we get it's here. We'll unbox those is pretty fun. It's going to give my buddy zippy some. I have to get another head, though.

I don't think I have to use it on this head. so I can learn how to make it right. But first, we'll open it up. Next thing we got in, and I think it's really the last thing, is the keyboard for my Amiga 2000. It was so expensive. It was crazy expensive. But we managed to break into four payments and figure it out so we got it.

So now I've got my Amiga 2000, which is already pimped up from the seller. you've pimped it up really nice with a hard drive and everything and now i have a keyboard for it and the bridgeboard so now i really pimped up so now it's complete you complete me pretty much all right so let's see what's going on this morning i also changed a little bit of my name for this podcast not the name the um the title because i had to shorten it and then we decided Ah, so Raven's head coach got fired. I knew that was going to happen. It's time for a change.

Same thing over and over again. No, without a different result. I need to need this move on. Bill Belichick. I hope he doesn't come back. I think team should not take Bill of Bell check. The Messi's got there. That little...

We'll see. Lots of coaches got fired. Raiders, obviously. Browns. Titans are always looking for a quarterback coach. Browns has gone through so many coaches. I wouldn't want to coach there. It's just because you didn't get a chance to get, he got to get a few years on your belt. Ravens, yeah, definitely. That team's going to get all broken up. They had to start over there. And they had all the components. They just couldn't get it to go. and which we'll call it can never go to the next level does good in the regular season but when he gets to the next level he never does good same with uh we'll call it too we'll say we have to play offset um monday sunday night

the patriots play the uh chargers that's going to be hard game at home but we really don't have home field advantage at all or maybe this shit really well at least they mean in the playoffs I don't see them beat the charges but then they've been a pretty well-oiled machine though blew away Miami but it's Miami tries they haven't fired that coach but they decide not to yeah all right so you went to Etsy same deal nothing going on

we'll start getting the taxes information for this year I only think I made maybe two a very small amount on Etsy compared to YouTube I mean compared to eBay YouTube I'm only a small amount too but I can still claim that as a little bit I can claim I'll see what people about Bell Jack and he's terrible something takes him just wasn't a fan I built Bell Jack at all wasn't he was probably was smart but he just just a mess All right, so let's go to Parshmock. So I may stay up this Sunday night.

I haven't quite decided yet. For me, it's way past my bedtime. I like to keep the routine is very key for me. 1,292 followers on Parshmacher. Pretty awesome. I won't gain some. take some time to it maybe say that well clean this up purchase is on one of my big items we did have one offer on one of my big items but it wasn't a little bit lower than i wanted to take so we didn't take it that

was for my n64 double d price that it was offered is why i would have paid just for the double d not including the mario cart and the mouse and added in the n64 and all that so i just said really could use that so we may probably take a low offer uh usually never make my money back sometimes i do something like that probably won't because it's hard to sell something that somebody else has one for 2,900 it's got a little bit more games to it so it's a big difference let's see what I decided to do today so what I kind of sale oh I also ratchet up a lot more I broke down my Tandy 1000 yesterday the original ones sold all the parts of the first one I'm not sold but I listed them I rather all the keyboards

I found I have another four-pin keyboard candy that we're gonna sell we don't need all those Actually, I don't need to keep on it all for us, you're going to sell them all. If I do, I'll keep one of the really broken ones. That one probably won't sell. The better ones should sell for what price we'll find out. So I have two things to look at on my workbench today. It'd be exciting. And we'll talk about it.

And I'll go out and buy the little heads. I've got to get a couple of more little heads. You get them at over at Michaels. It's the only reason why I started it is because when I was, I wanted to decide to go into Michael. to check out some arts and craft stuff. I'm not really crafty. But I made it pretty cool hair.

I'm happy with them. I put hair on them, get a little mustache, give them some eyes. But I can't use that one. I'll have to cut out where I need to put eyes that actually... You'll see.

You'll see what I would have. Maybe a mouth we'll find out. There's also one that's just a flathead with no features to it. They start with that. That's my first AI. let's say all right so now what I need to do is go to RSS feet so we changed the title on that so I made a little more detailed talking more about listening to

not only a gaming my caretaking but my eBay selling that's a key thing I do every day so we added that into the title that's way we went and it was right at a it has been a hundred words I didn't realize I was way past the hundred where it's a YouTube kept cutting it off but we fixed that yesterday all right so let's go and another thing I decided to do is I made that nice video yesterday regards to the old debacle of my cartridge slots so normally usually I'll leave that video as the main video for a day or then swip it swab it I'm just going to let it run just going to leave it there for just because

We'll get some conversation all over it. I do everything just to get a conversation. You may not like what I have to say. It may disagree. That's your business, but we're going to leave it up. And, of course, I wasn't going to promote, but I promoted that pretty heavily. So we'll let the numbers run on that one, let it fly. And then we'll talk about it.

And I'll get some messages, and we'll say, I've already had some messages. Ooh, so I had seven downloads yesterday on RSS feed, RSS.com. It's my messaging a bottle over the Internet Ocean, wherever it may go. 742.38, that's pretty way past my numbers. 326%. 2,179 all time. So we had last two episodes two.

So we're Singapore, but we're not going to thing. They had, somebody had 558 downloads. Awesome. Elgin, six downloads from the United States. Then UK, Watford, one. Miami one and Orlando one and then maybe others some of those they only shows the last seven days so those are technically not all this in the last day still pretty awesome something I enjoy doing I'm hoping I applied for an

affiliate for this then that would fit perfect on my YouTube page I have one more window line left I could put one more affiliate I think it's sticking in there and we also fixed the We put all the links in the messages and the details so that they all match up now, so it's not a big gap in between. So fix that too. So let's manage paid ads.

Let's keep behind my revenue. 31 cents, I think it's the same. I've zero balance right now to withdraw. And as of right now, I've made 15 cents since being monetized back in June. They finally monetize this. So if you get a commercial, I make a penny. sometime pretty much it all right so let's go to YouTube so we're falling still

100,000 that's steady but we're down to 196 so we've lost 6.55 was my max until when I stopped promoting for subscribers. My numbers, same deal. 1.6 million views, which hours are 12.9K, but my estimated revenue is only $22.52. So my top three videos of Etsy, which is 33.3. After 5 million views is 28K, and then welcome to Tandiland, 26K. of course those are all promoted but those are going to end soon so the only one i have promoted now is my you've been schooled buyer needs to be schooled let's see how many views we've had so far so we're going to leave that in my front of three thousand four hundred fifty five three thousand four hundred three thousand four hundred

forty five so far so we have any more comments about it i love to hear them and i'm i'm buyer and a seller so I've been on both ends so it's very easy if you need to understand a buyer side and it's our side but the way the buyer does it affects how a cellar can react it's a very simple concept and that's where this all came from oh I also played a little bit more death surrounding too I went to a whole new area of all kinds of I can make monorails and oh it's going to be awesome I'll probably play this death draining too for the next year because I'm going to build all the roads and go all the way back to the plate gate And finally, now I can use Magellan as a fast track.

I knew you were going to be able to do that. It only made sense. At some point, you're going to be able to fast track. You mean, you get out of Magellan, and you make a course, and you go, Magellan has only been a few different places. It's not to every place. Magellan was over at the observatory, and then it was at the musician,

and then it was over at West Fork, and then finally, actually, at the animal place. roads are the four places I can fast track so that's really awesome so you hop on there and fast track over instead of having a cruise around all the place so that's been cool I knew it was going to come I just I was waiting for it it only made sense you kept seeing the Magellan pop-up in a different main area you're like it's got to mean it's got to be able to go back and forth but pretty awesome so we played the strain too for a little while I guess so we'll keep my we're going to keep my main video so if you come on we'll keep on for quite some time yeah so we'll

leave that one running maybe for a week maybe for a month maybe for the whole year i'll just leave that one off i found that very interesting and of course it's a good conversation piece as a buyer and as a seller you can have your your opinion on either way oh i'll i can pretty much tell you what I feel about here like it's my own opinion everyone has your own opinion all right so I'm gonna those you have my opinions all right so I want to reply this I thought about your first message message every night I honestly, keeping in line with this video, would love to hear that this video would love to hear the that seller's side of the story.

sounds more like me standing up for the whole selling process unless all details details on both ends of your message are known. A buyer can never always be right. Sounds more like me standing up for your whole selling process. I thought about your first message last night. So let's read the message. He said, this is his first comment. I thought I didn't have a comment.

I actually said I had an actual seller be a dick, DIC, but tried to message him that the first described. they sent it's too weak gaming's not reading right yes see that would that would aggravate me I explained my whole procedure in testing and assuming then it is a weak laser in the drive this is on Xbox disk drive so this is an so first of all I only know what this so this drive the cell a flipped out excuse me of knowing what not knowing what I'm talking about I don't think I would say not know what I have ten years experience yet I'm sure he does I'm pretty good my boss decided to file a game so I thought about your first message I let me fix this

first most X-bar most original original most original most original oh one Xbox drives never work unless a data storage storage I would I would always sell them for parts if the drive is weak just tweak the p.0 to make it work better. Selling disk drives over the years have been a complete nightmare. what works for me as a seller may not work the same for the same for the buyer due to exact discs used

and the motherboard so that's what we're going to play that's what we're talking about I didn't want to realize it until after they's talking about an original disk drive OG originally I think just dry is very old very old very expensive yeah those are also yes also also very bulky to ship therefore

cost is higher. You should, always buying whole systems and not just parts. I honestly keep in line with that video. I thought about your first message last night. First, most of the clock drive, no work anymore unless in data storage. I would only sell them for parts. drive this week just tweaked the POT to make it work better telling just drives over the years has been a complete nightmare I totally agree with to sell it on that one yeah someone kind of I actually before my it was two negative

feedbacks actually three I had oh my fun about disc drives for the Oh, PS3, PS3 Fats, the original backwards-compatible just drives online, all the the discrads can be backwards compatible because it's just CD, DVD, or Blu-ray, but I had some issues with that. Back-was-compatible, the true one only plays most PS2 games, but not all of them, so we had two issues with that one. I sent it working, tested everything, and the buyer got it and said it wasn't playing. in PS2 games, but I found it later that it's actually the motherboard.

I didn't realize that at that time when I was selling that there's a COK-O-1 in the A and B. That plays almost all PS2 games, not all. Then there's the backwards compatible E, which is a C-O-K-O-2, which doesn't have the true PS2 chip on it, therefore it doesn't play a lot. It's an emulation chip. It doesn't play a lot on the PS2 games. But I would have tested it on the COK-O-1, and it worked. That buyer probably got it, and he had a C-Mullion.

O K-O-O-2 and a lot of his PS2 games didn't work. There was two cells that had a problem with that. It was a nightmare. Those were negative feedbacks at that time. They were going now. I wish they were still there because I would have brought those right into focus with this comment. But, you know, again, two sides of your story. Very important.

And not either the side is completely right. Absolutely not. I'm not saying that at all. But how it all unfolds is the key. All right, so let me go to eBay now. Yeah, I wanted to add to that. Our part sellers are all that. So, we're going to go to eBay.

If you YouTube, same thing. High numbers losing subscribers. Estimary Revu is $22.2.2. Other than promoting that video I just did yesterday and keeping it as my main video, I'm not promoting it. I say that. I really have to ratchet it down. Let's see what eBay did for me. Yeah, Lamont Jackson. He's a good quarterback, but he just can't get into the big game. Oh, that's what happens.

Every team, I think, after three or four years and it's really start over. Patriots did it, and look what happened. It was a mess. It was a mess. I don't even know why Dry Mayo was there, but it was like a transitional year.

And now, look, we're at the playoffs, see? It's all because of, we'll call it there. The offensive coordinator. Yeah, you need to take it as a head coach, but yeah, he did. He didn't really turn that around. Josh McDaniels, he's the key was the key. I think even more than the coach, my opinion.

All right, let's go to your back. Let's see what we got. So this is another one of these returns. Two little slots. I didn't even realize I still had it. Have you tested this? No other one controller? So this, the controller connection

is on the other board. See now I have a problem here. other board not this one yes it was tested all right so 1,000

oh yeah so that was the one yesterday I decided I was not but wait It would have been nice to take that, but I was a top CDI power supply. let's see what kind of feedback we've had some good feedback since the debacle excellent product logo fast shipping accurate description although this guy's returning it to it's just two little front panel as the door the door covers

and gave a discount on it and he still still returning it shipping was fast and was described by listing low-packed and a good price so that was the 76ers of 26 hundred 76ers motherboards I had two of them all right and the next one was this is a good one quick response and shipping from the seller sending it out on Christmas Eve day immediately after the part was ordered demonstrate going the extra mile which is appreciated and that's what really I'm all about that's it That sums it up right there. Conditioning quality are indeed as pictured and described.

You know, they were best it could be. These were for PS4, a bottom heat sink plate. It's in great shape and we'll serve as a backup model. Well worth the price, excellent seller. Thank you. And then the other one I got before, the negative one, or neutral one. Love, love, love this purse. I had to buy another one.

Mine gets old. It's a DC Comics. Harley Queen Catwoman purse. I had it forever. I gave me a really good deal on there. I wasn't going to really sell it for anything more, so we slept in a bed. Let's see.

Oh, so we do have some offers. I mean, some sales, yay. Sold some stuff. So let's see what we get. Oh, cool. So I'm like a London one. So one is a PS3 slim fan, the NIDC,

or other, those are the ones for removable ones for the 2501, 201, or 2101. We sold a light sixers, oh, a metal plate box. Two of them. How cool, yeah, I have those. I'll sold. We sold 0405 motherboard. Oh, we saw the mod one, the modded one. But in a different boxes time.

We sold the other motherboard. so Nintendo Wii battery compartment and a PSP top couple the screen with the glass remember it's not touchscreen so it's just a glass and glass gets a little scratches so I got a whole bunch of those we'll go through those and we've got a clean so we have a cool little lot here yay need to have a little so let's have some interesting stuff I just sold always random try again I try to get as many different things and now I'm really again that's we changed my stony those FF archive emporium which I like a lot better and then just gaming to go gaming put an

archive an emporium of course means lots of fun things which I try to mix it up as much I can and I'm also at now at I just sold some stuff but my listings I'm over 1,600. My goal is to get up to 2,000 and keep it that way, but the other than getting to there is going to be really hard. I have 1,624. I want to say about a year ago,

I only had maybe 800 listings, and it was mostly all little gaming parts, and I was just suffering. I'm like, man, I got to ratchet this stuff up. That's what I did. I doubled it in probably six months. I had to cut corners, meaning I didn't really have many details, more about photos, not details.

And I put everything as is, pretty much. Even things that work. Because I know they work, and if it's not working, and I'm specifically sure it doesn't work, I'll put it as defective donor. Those are two different categories of not working. Working, all this old vintage computing is where I rarely ratchet it up. We're going to continue on that streak. We're doing all the Tand1,000.

so we should build this up to good 1800 we're going to go through each one and of course I always have discounts right now I'm learning 20% go 10% for little guys 20% for mid sales mid listings and then 30% for everything like $50 and up so you get

but it doesn't matter I'll still get half hackers in one hand wonders so half hacker of course just taking a listing that already has a discount and half packing it down to half of that and of course i'm going to decline it and then they won't hit wonders because they never do it again they just disappear it's just somebody that sees something they say i'll throw it for half all two i can get it those are my two words i got lots of words all right i think that's it for this morning so yeah we got some uh more fun things to do i got some compact

flash ID a compact flash for my laptops we're going to play around those in a video and look at the keyboard and my things to build my first AI head well it's not really yeah but it's just something fun so we'll look at those all right everyone so you have a good it's Wednesday hump day and I will talk to you tomorrow all right bye
