Episode Date: November 25, 2024

No Matter how low you do discounts buyer want more.

Good morning everyone. It is now 5.42. I just woke up. I went to bed early. Well, same time as I always go to bed. I didn't do a story last night or a quick little podcast. I don't know. I was just tired. We kind of skipped that. I think that one I'll probably do every, maybe every other day at night time. We'll see. So let's check, first thing we do, let's look at the sports. Uh, Patriots played yesterday and they were terrible.

And Miami was again beat them. As always, they always beat it. I had a glimmer of hope. And then by the first quarter, I was like, oh, we're done. Too bad. All right, let's look at the sports.

So it's Monday morning. So I like to see what's going on with sports. Sports, I mean football. That's really the only sports I kind of. Let's see. Let's check the scores uh uh changes i don't know if that's gonna i don't think the uh coaching staff is gonna

last too much longer for the patriots all right let's look at the scores it's really all i care about just to see who won who lost so the rams who beat up on the patriots. Alright, let's look at the scores. That's really all I care about, just to see who won and who lost. So the Rams, who beat up on the Patriots yesterday, got beat up by the Eagles. 37-20. Cardinals got beat up by the Seahawks. Interesting. 16-60.

So they're still on the hunt. San Francisco is playing terrible now, so they got beat up by the Packers 38-10 and the Broncos are playing really good now that new kid is doing pretty good so far they're 7-5 now they beat the Raiders

which are terrible 29-19 the Lions won 28-6 the Colts the Titans actually beat the Texans which is interesting 32 to 27 of course the Dolphins beat up on the Patriots the 20 34 to 15 Vikings managed to pull off an overtime win 30-27 and the Kansas City Chiefs held on to win 30-27 the Bucs

won 30-7 over the Giants which are terrible Giants and Jets are just the worst team ever both of those teams that whole Aaron Rodgers Jets are just the worst team ever. Both of those teams. That whole Aaron Rodgers-Jets thing. What a major bust. It's like a blah. It's funny.

It's all going to... It already imploded now, but he's done. I didn't see the Jets play. Maybe they have a bye or something. Cowboys, 34. They actually won a game. They're pretty terrible. 26.

Cowboys will never be good. Poor Jerry Jones. All that money and he just can't get a winning team to save his life. Alright, so that's usually Monday morning. I'll get a recap of football scores. I won't sit to watch any games or anything like that. I did watch the Patriots games a little here and there

while I was just doing some other stuff. More of a background noise than anything. But they were playing really bad, so... Sat with the dogs for a little while with them. Alright, so... Let's go to YouTube here. See where we're at. So soared to 118 million dollars over the weekend

gladiator snagged 55 million dollars so that's the wicked gladiator combo thing there aww so they both did pretty good about expected so let me go to speak up yeah you should do YouTube first I'll check the news anything the

other news other than football that jumped out on me it's like oh god now what Tommy DeVito the hardest and they got rid of that one And he looks terrible Giants are just as bad as the Jets. It's not words. I like I hate to do I mean he'd say word hate I just like the Jets more than I do the Giants Giants At least they've won some Super Bowls or something Jets are just blah Move the Rex Ryan days of the Jets? Rob Ryan, Rex Ryan. Oh my god.

Jets have had such an ugly run. It's kind of funny. Alright, so let's go to my YouTube here. See what we've got going on. Oh. We've gone up a few more 2,893 subs now

that's pretty cool trying to put a lot of good content out there daily best I can well mostly yesterday I was just playing around some vintage uh computing

I had somebody actually come by who lives here in westerly with me now which doesn't live with me but it's in town the same town that bought um a tandy 1000 ex motherboard he and then he came by right around four o'clock when i was getting ready to go to sleep and he um the younger guy and he wanted it for a chip off the board i didn't quite understand what he's talking about something about doing an analysis on a chip on the board not really sure what that meant but some some sort of project so that's cool so now i have some local.

But I think he was just interested in that board. I don't think he was interested in anything. Because I have lots of Tandy stuff. All kinds of Tandys. All the Tandy 1000s. I've collected. So that's where I'm at. So my revenue now is at $22.13. So I think I went up like a dollar since yesterday.

However, I went up a good like 50 subs or so since then. But again, my average duration, it's 39 seconds. So that's why I'm not making a million. There's no way to really grab someone's attention. But we'll just keep mixing it up anyway. So I want to check. Oh, so now I go over to my live feeds. I need to change the thumbnails on those.

Get a shot from the video. Just so it's... Which one was that one yesterday? Oh, not... Alright, so we'll use that one. Okay. I promoted some stuff. Just one yesterday.

My video I was doing. As an ordinary and not eye-appealing creator on YouTube, 4,000 hours is so hard. It was wicked hard. Alright, so... is so hard. It was wicked hard. Alright. So. Again, everyone else says how easy it is, but I don't know.

If you're not, if you're ordinary and not eye appealing, it's not that easy. At least for me it wasn't. But we made it though. Alright, so this one is, oh, Windows 95 I was doing.

I'll show the computer here when you do that one oh yeah i'm showing there the heatsink on that old came across an hp business uh desktop that i was putting windows 98 on yesterday or trying to to, anyway. I got it on there. However, there's all kinds of things that it doesn't recognize. And I had to downgrade it all the way down to 512 megabyte stick in order to get it. Because if I had it too high, I kept

adding more, and it kept giving me an error. Memory error. And I couldn't figure out why. It's because I was going too high. I had to go lower. But I got it to work with 512k. But I'm going to try to see if I can find drivers for it. Or I may not be able to find drivers for it. And the CD

is not being recognized right now. It may be a failed project. But fun though. Alright, so that's where we're at on YouTube. Alright, now let's go to drum roll please uh ebay just it was quiet actually but i sold something that was that motherboard was worth a few bucks so that helped me out five things here I never know what to expect everything good and bad on eBay happens overnight while I sleep I always never know what's

gonna be surprising me what I did wrong let's check so I've got one order. Let's look at the feedback I got. I always check feedback. As soon as I get to see something new. I want to see what's going on. So as. Arrived as listed.

Much thanks. Exactly. When I needed quick shipping. Fast shipping. Packed very securely. Item as described. Was able to pick up in person. Oh, this is the guy from yesterday.

Seller was cool to talk to. Would definitely buy again. Oh, that's cool. So we actually, I didn't even ask him to make a feedback, but he did. So that was really cool. Seemed like a nice guy, so that was cool. That I appreciate. Alright, so that was for the guy from yesterday. Alright, so let's see what we

have for offers. Let's see what we have for offers. Um... What I meant... No, what I meant, no, what I meant, 47, for 10 after shipping, oh, he wanted 40,

he only wanted 10, no, what I meant, 47 for the $10 after shipping, that year, oh 47 oh say hey i'm trying to collect so this is for so ps4 i mean this is for the nintendo gamecube i was collecting the power buttons, the guy said 47 but he only wanted to pay 47 for 10 okay, so so I don't have to look for more, so I think I ended up getting

like 30 oh oh oh yeah, I was confused on that deal so I am all weekend hunting around for try to get 47 but I came close but I thought I found a lot more and I found a whole bunch of the black ones again we're talking power button for the Nintendo GameCube. I was trying to collect 47 for this guy. Oh, I was confused. Alright, so I was confused. I think I have about

30... 30... 30 plus. So, we'll see if he just wants Still wants those It's list Ship What I'll do is I'll do I'll do orders of 10 I'll do is I'll do I'll do orders of 10

I will do listings 10 per 10 per order or I can make one I can make one. I can make just one listing. One listing for all I found. You decide.

Decide and price. Oh, I totally did not understand what he was saying yeah I easily it's fun though because I was going around trying to find stuff so so Sega Dreamcast case no I'm not going to do that so if there's

an offer that's half if you're giving me half of an offer for something I have listed up not gonna take it there's no I have no half off sales I already have I'm already I already have almost 25 30 percent off right now and then the buyer wants half more no it's not bad this doesn't matter how much you give for a discount people want more so that's it that's it heck no and I do that. Enjoying doing it.

And then a Pokemon. I have this Pokemon thing that's worth some money. But I'm not doing it. Again, another half off. Oops, I just lost it again. He is missing the sticker and all that. So I have it for $85. He wants $30. No. You can get sticker and all that. So I have it for $85. He wants $30.

No. You can get somebody else for that. So. It's only one order. But I want to. Yeah. I don't. I'm not a seller. Who just takes any offer.

No. Not at all. I work way too hard. Per order. per listing to find stuff have stuff and eventually originally i had to buy it somewhere so yeah you have the wrong guy you've got the wrong seller so that's a heck no and i don't i don't do counters at all i just decline it's a very simple process a concept if you make an offer and i don't like it i decline it and i'll keep declining it unless it's something i'm interested in then i'll accept and then that's it i don't

and most times buyers only really want will give me one offer and that's anyway so this way i don't waste their time and I don't waste definitely mine Oh super slim so yeah it's a simple concept and then what usually sometimes I'll get a really low offer and I'll decline it and then I'll get like a dollar more I'll decline I'll just keep declining you only get five offers and then you're done which is great um so usually like once in a blue moon I'll get somebody will like do a six dollar offer I'll decline it then they'll do a seven dollar offer I'll decline it they'll do an eight dollar offer and I'll decline it and then they'll contact me directly and they'll be like what's offer and I'll decline it. They'll do an $8 offer and I'll decline it. And then they'll contact me directly. And they'll be like, what's going on?

How come you're not taking it? And I'm like, if you're contacting me after doing a $6 offer and then increasing it by $1 each. Wondering why I'm not taking an offer. You shouldn't be doing offers and then that usually pisses them off and then the buyer goes away but you know i just sometimes it's fun to piss off a buyer just because a six dollar uh six dollar offer pisses me off so kind of goes both ways but you've been doing this for a long time. You kind of get like I am. As I always say. Selling gaming parts has hardened my soul.

Big time. Because boy. Just selling in general. And again. I already have. 20% off. And. Plus more offers. I mean more discounts. but i'm not going to be able to go

that low anymore that's my 20 off coupons really hurting me with my low-end stuff because my minimum order is 11 so with that 20 off i'm down to like not even a dollar. And I can't even sell anything that way anyway. So I'll go maybe 10% off going forward. But that's about it. 20 has just been too much. And I can't separate. I mean, I could, but it would be real difficult. The bigger items.

If I can make those 20% off and my small little guys just like five percent i would do it but so ai i think it will help in the future i think i'll be able to explain to ai what i want what i want it to do for my listings and it'll be able to go in and fix it for me we're not there yet but i think that's coming for ebay and i also want AI to be able to crop my photos. I don't want a blank background to them. I just want them to crop them. If I could sit here and talk to AI and ask him to do that, show me what he would do,

prove it, and then in seconds, every one of them would be done. Right um i have 900 listings i'm going to significantly increase it as i go here but it's very it's very time consuming and i have certain directions i need to get into ps2 slim this is one of them so and i had some other stuff I want to do for Super Nintendo. Stuff like that. So, going forward, I'm hoping AI will also be integrated into eBay. It already is, but it's only for... AI is only to change your titles. So it just.

Rewards it for you. It's pretty much all AI can do. Right this second. But I think that will significantly change. For me on eBay. So it will definitely help out. Not now though. Probably another.

I'd say a couple of years. Before we'll see. A complete integration of AI. Into into eBay or any other selling site where you can have it. I don't think I can ever get AI to actually list things for me. I mean, I probably could, but because they have to take photos of it. You know what I mean? Their photos have to be taken. Details have to be put in,

because I would only know the exact details of what I'm selling, either as a parts item or as a working thing. So I don't see that happening. So the time and energy that goes into just making one listing will always be there for me personally. I don't see how you could make it not. So, then I throw another. There's also where you can send an offer.

So, I'll throw another $5 in. And then another 5%. So, I think it's 35% I've been doing. And it's been very, very slow, but I still sell stuff, so I got lots of, well, not lots of things, but I got a bunch of big stuff to sell, so I can put a big thing up, although I really don't want to ship anything, did sell that motherboard, so that, that helped, that was a nice little hit, I needed it, so, so I'm still trying to pay my truck off here, I got till Friday, so that helped. That was a nice little hit. I needed it, so. So I'm still trying to pay my truck off here.

I got till Friday, so I'm getting there. I'm collecting the money now, so. So starting today again, we'll just stop doing more listings. So fresh listings usually help motivate, generate a little bit of something on my eBay. As opposed to just sitting on the same listings over and over again i get tons of just lots of watchers i don't know what people watch for so it's lots of listings i have have watchers and all that but they just never purchase they just kind of sit on it or i'll get a really really low offer like i just got this morning and that ain't happening all right

so let's see that's about where i'm at this morning it looks pretty much the same that's why i call it groundhog day because it's pretty much the same stuff just different different ingredients to the same kind of thing going here all right so later on i'll pick a system out we'll do that i'm trying to keep that going i did in television in in magnivox odyssey yesterday that was fun i learned some stuff i didn't know about and almost made me impulse buy something that i saw but i didn't because i can't afford it so uh it was the intel the uh system changer in television system changer i saw it on ebay that was actually priced fairly good. Really cheap.

And I almost bought it. But I have no money to be buying stuff at all anymore. Alright. So we'll see you this afternoon. And then maybe tonight I'll try to see if I can get a story in. I'll talk to you later. Alright. Bye.
