Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day 11/21/2024

Episode Date: November 21, 2024

Quiet Overnight Sales.

Good morning everyone. It is now 5.22. My day is just beginning as always. I just get out of bed, turn on my computer, and I start doing all my work for the day. I haven't looked at my eBay today yet, but I'm still at YouTube. So I did last night. I tried something a little different. I was actually in my bed. In my loft bed that is. If you've seen my setup. You'll know what I mean. And I was actually doing my story.

In the bed. It's kind of hard. Because the laptop is on top of my legs. And I'm trying to read the story. But it was pretty fun. So I'm going to do it that way. Get a little bit more privacy up in my little loft bed it's not a lot of privacy but it's pretty more private i can but the problem is trying to talk and while you're lying down it's kind of hard but we'll do it that way i just like to do it for the fun everything i do is for

fun uh if you want to come along for the ride you're more than welcome to uh most people like i said usually come in for a few minutes actually a few seconds my average duration i believe is 56 seconds per video uh i may doubt maybe down as much as 20 seconds uh we had a little bit of a run with my. The animals of the world. Makes all the sense. My two stories I had last night. Picked a couple of animal stories. One was a fish.

And the other one was a dog. Again I always use my. Zippy. My AI companion. As my author. I just create it. I come up with an idea. And I let. Zippy. Make the the story for me and then I read it.

I'm not really the best reader in the world, but I'm getting a little bit better. I don't have the best sound, so nothing I have is really the best quality. But the effort is there. That's the whole key. The effort to do some fun content, and I try to mix it up. My podcast is now my new thing that I like to do. It's kind of fun. It's basically the same as doing the videos,

but without having to do anything. I can do stuff in the background while just sitting here chatting. So this works out good in the morning for my groundhog day episodes where i'm doing stuff while i'm actually talking to you so let's see where i haven't looked at youtube yet yesterday i put a bunch of stuff on let's see if it had any action or not so it usually takes a couple days if i put stuff up a couple days later maybe i'll get some offers i had one really really low offer on something um no very quiet this morning

so let's see what we got going on here a couple orders let's see any messages it's during the week too so it tends to be a little bit slower so you keep putting things up I have two returns now that have been shipped and normally I would pay them already but I need my oh my truck got done so I put a new radiator in it and he really helps me out this local guy can't say I have a guy but I do and for my truck that is so let's see what else we got going on here so there are two things got returned let's see my feedback I always check my feedback in the morning because normally any kind of feedback I usually get overnight so let's see my feedback. I always check my feedback in the morning. Because normally any kind of feedback I usually get overnight. So let's see what we got going on here.

Everything looks good. Good, positive, happy. Very happy. That's what I like to see. I'm all about good and positive. I don't like when things go wrong. Then you know I left out of the idea. Very happy with purchase.

We balance compartment so they saved so many of those battery compartments on the Wii balance boards let's be honest everyone buying one of these need a review it's a plastic rectangular but it's still so long as you say thank you that's all I need front we, good seller. So all good positives lately, which is really nice. Because I cannot deal with negatives. Especially these days. I don't know.

I'm just not into it. I don't feel like battling anybody. So. I have two orders. That's it for this morning. Anything worthwhile here? No. Just two two orders. That's it for this morning. Anything worthwhile here? No, just two small orders. Yeah. So we'll print those out. Let's see. yeah so my trucks done I just have to come up with some cash to do it which I'm not quite there right now but hopefully by the weekend I can have enough cash to pay for it

it was about 500 bucks to fix it which isn't bad I gotta put a new radiator in which I like to try to keep up my little truck it's a 2004 Jeep Liberty and it's got 200,000 miles on it so a lot of miles on it but I need to I need to have it I don't really use that much my mother uses it more than I do I use it just go to the post office how however I hardly ever go to the post office anymore because I have lots of sales shipping costs got so much higher everything got so much higher so i had to cut costs by trying not to use my truck therefore now put wear and tear and the gas on it so most of the time i just put stuff in the mailbox so it only ships out once a day i used to do like two or three times shippings a day but i can't do that anymore uh because again the orders have gone down to where I make

maybe a dollar per order or maybe two this is something a little bit a little bit more than maybe I'll make a couple more bucks so I need to be able to cut corners where this wherever I can do it possibly so for my truck I like I said I barely use it I go to the store get stuff my little buddies um get some i get some vegetables and whatnot and that's really the only place i go and then most of the time i'm home which is fine so i'm pretty much home-based anyway so i'm used to it i can do everything right from here. Sales. Everything I can do from here. Pretty much.

So that's basically how I work. Each morning. Each day. There's always tons and tons of stuff to do. I can never run out of projects. That's darn sure. So I was on the Nintendo handheld roll yesterday. So we got a lot of stuff up. Again, it takes a few days if I'll see any action on it.

But at least it's up and it's listed. Once I get it up and listed, I'm good then. Because that gets the conversation going. And it's up and it's listed. Once I get it up and listed, I'm good then. Because that gets the conversation going. Then it's on my store. People will watch it. I don't know why people watch things. Either you buy it or you don't. And then I'll get extra offers on top of all the sales I have.

Alright, so I need... Oh, I sold I sold some bottom pads for the ps2 slim the little screws and then the little covers for the screws little cover caps and then I sold oh high definition uh sega genesis 1601 motherboard so one of those those are all defective donor boards i don't know if they work or not kind of gave up trying to test them some probably work but you can never tell what works and what doesn't on them so we just sell them with defective donor um which is a lot of things i sell so you get it and you some of it will work and other things don't and if you know how to do stuff to fix it then

you can fix it or you can use it as a donor board towards another board hence the name defective donor so that's because I don't do electronics that's how I just do it if i if i don't know if it works or not it's just let somebody else sell it a little bit cheaper although it is a motherboard so it's still not going to be and they're heavy to ship so um i still get that those are the ones I actually make maybe 10, 15 bucks off of after shipping it. Gotta have those few things that make a few more dollars than just two or three dollars. Especially when, like today, I only had two orders, so.

I put tons of stuff up yesterday, hoping I get some stuff but not so much so I have two orders coming back that were shipped which one was this one the two big ones too the power supply and so I now have to save up to pay uh this guy asked me a question here let's see hello so i have one moment one message hello my ps2 model 745 is missing the rubber feet with the screws you've seen the picture can you sell me a full set of those i have those listed see the problem is people i sell the sets the so i sold a black one this morning we're talking ps2 slims again but this message from a guy is for a ps2 slim silver so i have the screws and the the um the caps that he wants buyers this buyer is asking just me for me to just to sell the caps thinking i'm going to sell

it cheaper than i'm already selling it as the screws in the caps i can't there's nowhere for me to go i'm down i think i have it at twelve dollars with the let's see so so i usually put I can sell just those. However, I am below my minimum. for a order I would not ship I would not sell them any cheaper buyers thinking if they just

took the screws out and just if I just it makes sense but the problem is it's the shipping costs so it doesn't matter what even if I just if the screws out and just if i just it makes sense but the problem is it's the shipping costs so it doesn't matter what even if i just if the guy said hey can i get one screw sure i can just ship you one screw but i ain't gonna ship any cheaper so i wrote i can sell just those however i am below my minimum for an order because i have the coupons and stuff i would not well if it were not i would not

sell them any cheaper so that's what they i've assumed this guy normally when i see a message like this that's what they're they're thinking that i'm gonna say oh yeah you want the caps sure i'll cut off five dollars and then it would be below my $7. Therefore, I'd have to pay him money to ship it to him. So that ain't going to happen. Because buyers just don't really get that. I wish there was a way when somebody did offers. As soon as they wanted to start an offer,

I could have a message pop up and explain them, sorry, free shipping isn't free for me after all my all my fees it's seven dollars my cost out the door but i wish i could do that then maybe that would cut down on some of the no i just declined it's not a big deal so so that's that's what he he wanted me to. So I have those for sale, the silver ones. It's the caps and the screws. Let me look at my listing here for it. So, yeah, see, $12.60 is what I have it listed for. With my coupon, discounts down to $14.

With my coupon, it's down to $10.08. I have nowhere else to go I have to make at least two bucks to even make it worthwhile right so that's kind of where I'm at on that deal

so I left him a message I'm not sure I assume that's what he was asking because I already have it listed so you just purchase it and then I'll ship it to you so that's just two orders this morning That's what he was asking. Because I already have it listed. So you just purchase it. And then I'll ship it to you. So those are just two orders this morning.

I'm going to go on to. Yesterday I was doing. PS3. What did I do yesterday? PS3. Oh I did the Slims and the Super Slims. So we'll find a new system. To do later on today. Along with. Videos and all kinds of fun stuff. Slims and the super slims. So we'll find a new system to do later on today.

Along with videos and all kinds of fun stuff. And then I got to see about trying to get my truck back in the next few days. So that I can get it back. My mother needs it more than I do. She uses it to go out and about. So that's what I'm trying to keep it going. But I'm a little short right now. So that was unexpected. But but i knew my truck was due for to get worked on sooner or later radiator uh i've been having a lot of coolant problems leaking so hopefully with the

replacement of the radiator maybe my coolant will stay in better which in in turn will keep the engine running so it's been a uh a patch up of my truck but it's still going pretty good and again i don't really go far even she doesn't really go far just around town a little bit here so maybe 10 miles a day on the truck uh i cut the miles way down on it on my end uh i may go two miles a day if if if if that now um but i want to get the radiator done and it was leaking yesterday so that's why i dropped it off so i'll go take a walk down there today and give the guy some cash and hopefully we can work out something so i can get it back because thanksgiving's coming up so i want to get back way before then i hope everyone's getting ready for thanksgiving we go to a local church and have food there my mother doesn't cook anymore uh and uh she cooks but she doesn't

want to cook turkeys anymore i don't cook at all. So we get local food. They donate food. Like it's all pre-cooked. Ready to go. You can go there and eat it. Or bring it home. So I usually go get it. And then bring it home.

Not really that social. Pretty much. Not too much. Once in a while. But. So that's our thanksgiving every year we've been doing that for i don't know five ten years now i'll get in the food and doing and doing eating at home and i usually take some pictures to dogs and take some pictures of me and and my mother eating food for thanksgiving it's pretty fun have again i had a really small family so it's just me

my mother and the dogs and i have my brother too oh my brother might come by as well he lives pretty close by but he's usually always doing stuff so so he may come by as well last year he came by which was which was nice uh so this year he may come by so we'll see how that goes all right let's see and then for the day i'm just going to work on getting um some more stuff listed i got some other avenues i want to tap into that i haven't gone yet on my ebay store so i'll talk to all you guys later on all right have a good afternoon bye
