Big Major Oversized Box Shipment to Prepare for UPS.

Good morning everyone. It is almost 6 a.m. on Monday the 12th 9. I have a couple of doctor's appointments this week actually. I have an issue that I've always had where I get a lot of wax in my ear so every three months I have to go and get my ears the wax taken out it's kind of a almost like a little mini surgery kind of because it just gets really clogged up as I've gotten older it's gotten worse

and then I do and that's coming up on the 11th so I hardly ever go to doctors or anything luckily knock on wood I usually don't get sick. I think a lot of it attributes to the fact that I'm home-based. Therefore, I'm not interacting with people as much. So I don't get cold or anything like that usually.

I don't think I ever had COVID. I had some kind of a respiratory thing going for a little while. But health-wise, it's been good. Although I have significantly aged in the last few years just by looking at myself and i can see got a lot more age spots and stuff like that so i significantly have seen that but i really enjoy getting older aging is actually really fun i'm a big fan of it to see where you you have an eventual place that it's going to happen. So the

process of watching it happen is pretty interesting. I find it pretty fascinating actually. So I've got to get my ears clogged and cleaned out I think on the 11th. And then a heart doctor.

I go every once in a while. Just get an update. I've done a few stress tests and stuff. So we'll get that done. And then I do have a point for Skin Doctor. Because again, I've noticed lots of new kind of thingies that I've never had before. So, H-Bots and stuff like that. So we want to kind of geties that I've never had before. So, H-box and stuff like that. So, we want to kind of get it looked at.

And then I had, I usually do a physical once a year in the summer. So, my next physical is this year. And then I got to get a cleaning for my teeth coming up too soon as well. So, let's see what this morning bring. The weekend was quiet sales wise actually with any sales all weekend which is unusual but i spent the whole day yesterday putting up a bunch

of new stuff i'm gonna start really getting into all my computing vintage stuff i've got a lot to that so i started doing my commodore 128 yesterday i had one that has a jiffy lube in it or jiffy do oh it's not jiffy do no it's a jiffy dos and that one fully worked so we got that up we got some keyboards up uh oh i did some wave bird action i had a lot of wave birds. That was fun. Some Gamecube Microphones So took me all day pretty much Patriots didn't play yesterday, which was fine because they did terrible anyway So we'll look at the sports first. Let's see how this house

Check my news Because that's what I do. I just do my brief overview. Because today is Monday. We'll see if any more coaches got fired. Because there's some really terrible teams out there. Just still. Oh yeah.

I love the fact. That. just still I love the fact that so Jets are not my fan at all I'm not a fan of them at all and this whole Aaron Rodgers debacle is just comical unlike a Tom Brady to Tampa Bay which for the first season

you know they won the Super Bowl even the second season wasn't too bad. But the Aaron Rodgers debacle is just comical. So let's see what the scores are. Chiefs beat the Chargers. The Chargers just cannot beat the Chiefs. Bummer. Although I'm a big Chiefs

fan though. I'd like to just see them get the three-peat. Ooh, the LA Rams beat the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo, yeah. 44-42. They've still put up lots of numbers. San Francisco actually won a game. They beat Chicago.

Who's looking for a coach? Seattle's just playing really good football. Chino Smith there. Beat Arizona 30-18. Falcons got beat up there. Not so good. I forget who's the quarterback over there. That's Kirk Cousins.

He's really never done that great. Sometimes he does. So Minnesota beat them. Sam Donaldson at Minnesota. So Kirk Cousins was at Minnesota and went to the Falcons and they got beat up. Panthers. Poor Panthers.

Eagles are doing good as usual. The Jets lost. Yay. That's awesome. Dolphins came back. They were winning but 32-26 while the debacle of the Jets. Saints beat the Giants.

Giants another terrible, terrible. That's a whole other mess. Jags actually won a game. Beat the Tennessee Titans who were terrible, terrible won and raiders is that's the other terrible team they keep firing people and coaches and the team just gets worse kind of like our patriots but we're glad uh bill belichick's not around anymore. Pittsburgh Steel is one. Alright, so that's my sports. Oh, I just saw a little comic thing about Aaron Rodgers.

Let me read about it. Let me find it. I'm just so fascinated by that. I thought it was actually going to be a pretty good idea, but boy, did that turn out to be a mess. It says, Leave it to Aaron Rodgers to deflate blame from Jets' failures. It says, Leave it to Aaron Rodgers to deflate blame from Jets' failures.

The Jets are eliminated from the playoffs for the 14th straight year after losing to Miami. Jets officially eliminated from playoffs. That's awesome. That's pretty cool. Okay. Alright, so let's go on to my stuff here. So we went there. Let's check Etsy.

Another store I'm hoping to get some of business from but just haven't quite got anything yet still no sales there it's probably the slowest sales period that I'm going through that I can remember just overall I mean I've had people favor the good thing about on uh my etsy is people can favor uh items so i can see where i've got an even item that's everyone's looking at my apple ipod g3 clamshell pretty fun i sold my other two apples laptops so that's why I'm starting to dig into my uh vintage computing I have another apple

I'm going to write the word what? I said that was really funny I have no idea what any of that means oh that was so funny all right so let's go now to e. Oh, no, let's look at my RSS feed first. I'll save eBay for last. Let's just make sure we're still going. I like to check my RSS feed because this podcast I'm doing now will go up as part of my routine each morning. I enjoy doing this in the morning because I'm doing stuff anyway. So we might as well sit and routine each morning. I enjoy doing this in the morning because I'm doing stuff anyway.

So we might as well sit and chat about it. All right. So there's another one. I use rss.com, but there is also a pod bean. So I don't know which one's better. I just started with the rs.com. Seems to work. I don't want which one's better. I just started with the rs.com. Seems to work. I don't want it to really transfer. It doesn't seem like you can add it to another one. You'd kind of added it. All right. So on my RSS.com, let's check my analysis. I've had three uploads. So I'm up to 94 uploads. That's pretty exciting. But the best part about that is there's a little map here and it has little dots of people that have uploaded your video.

So that's pretty exciting. So I've got some people in Washington State, show all cities. One person from France. I have one person from Ashburn who's downloaded 17 of them. That's pretty exciting. Someone from Lindale, 7. Washington, 2.

And all the rest are just one download. That doesn't give me 90. I don't know where we get the 90 from. So, pretty fun. So this will go up later on as soon as I'm done with my last part of my morning

here, which is eBay. So eBay is always a oh no everything happens overnight so we'll see what happens basically getting action so all messages any any damage control orders happen overnight so let's see we got let's go to messages usually Control. Orders. Happen overnight. So let's see what we got. Let's go to messages. Usually where I start. They changed the message system.

So. Oh deal. I sent an offer. Okay cool. So I'm going to do that. So there is a. TRS-80. Um. A TRS-80.

Um. A TRS-80. Model 4. Has the big head. Um. I'm not going to do that. No. First let's get that.

Let's accept that. It's the whole. You'll see. I'll be pulling it out and packing it. I didn't want to ship it, but I decided to send it to South Carolina. But I think

I have a box now. So we just got an upgraded stove for my mother. I think the box will fit it. So I'm going to accept that. Because I can use the couple hundred bucks So it probably cost me 40 bucks to ship it Alright so that'll be a little project to work on so I haven't I only had one other sale besides that and I think I had another offer let's see I'm kind of rolling the dice now

and going for the bigger stuff try to get some sales going that's kind of what I've been doing so I'm going to continue on that I've got a few my tannies I're going to continue on that. I've got a few of my TANIs I'm going to list.

TANI 1000 EX and HX. And a couple of them are going to have some cards in the back with them. Alright, so we're gonna do that let's go back to messages so that'll give me a big sale pretty cool well another question here let's go back to this one all right so I said that to that guy let's respond to that I'm not gonna do it for that yeah I'm gonna do that see if I get a little few extra, even if I don't see I usually rely on lots of little orders That add up after a while although I haven't been getting that at all

I'm kind of having to go to bigger orders So I so you're okay deal. I found a box to ship it. I will be doing videos of packing, of testing, then packing and shipping the box. few extra days to do this correctly. And then I'll throw my YouTube feed on there. Sometimes eBay doesn't let me put the link which is annoying.

Because I used YouTube as a way to communicate with buyers. And I can't. On chat GPT. I can't. It doesn't let me do that. Like they think I'm like secretly doing something different. All I'm trying to do is communicate with buyers.

Potential buyers as well. So I'll be doing. Some videos. Testing then packing and shipping the box. Give me a few extra days to do this correctly I'll just copy that in case it kicks me out all right so good no it didn't let me sometimes lets me do the link sometimes it doesn't remember this remember to scan the buyers pick up code when you meet to confirm. Get paid.

Okay, so that was only just verifying that in fact the asking price is $52.55. This is about the Tandy EX inside parts and screws dirty folder did I pick up a few specs like this from another cell well I know each those were a check systems functional I have HX2... I think that's right. I am I know hard to hard to find parts or more if you find if you have a better price you should get it I'm probably too high, but I'm sorry. I wouldn't be able to probably turn that down. Alright, so $10 offer for... Oh, yeah, I can do that.

It's the Nintendo N64 Jumper Pack Memory Cover. Yeah, I have lots of those. So that's not a problem. So that's a dollar off of what my asking price is. So that's fine. So that's three things now I've sold. One being a big one.

So we're going to have to figure out so that's a big project but i don't have much else to do so we're gonna really i'm gonna pull up my tandy i'm not my tandy my trs-80 um model four some of the parts I had it upgraded a little bit but I've never gotten it to work it's really big and bulky and I actually

have a second head for it anyway so I gotta pull the other head out so we're gonna do a whole project today on TRA-C80 model 4 and I also have a model 4P that I haven't gone back to. I need to wire spot a couple things to do some upgrades

for that one, but I haven't done it. So, it looks like that's going to be the direction of my projects today. It's going to be TRS-80 Model 4. So, let's sell. We just said the head's sold. So, I'm just going to mark it as shipped right now

It's going to cost Shipping's going to be like I changed it to that So I need to get a little shipping label I gotta figure out what to do Because I Originally I had Packing I gotta figure out what to do cause I originally I had packing

I gotta figure out how I can do that as a shipment that's packing I didn't have it set up I should have set it up for shipping and I didn't usually you can just add a shipping I have to just print coupon leave feedback Hmm, I need to figure that out. I've got to get it packed and shipped. I kind of doinked myself on that one a little bit, but we'll figure it out. But for now, I'm just going to mark it as picked up.

And then I can't leave it open. So not often I have something that's only pickup only because it was so big I really really really didn't want to ship it but I kind of decided I'm gonna go for it nervous about it but because it has a monitor in it you'll see it's a big screen it's the whole top head of a trs-80 the tube the picture tube and the board and all that i'm so nervous about that but we'll give it a whirl can only live once right i got a huge box that we just got a stove in from walmart that i think i can use and then I gotta find shitload of packing and all kinds of...

So it's like a whole day project. But it's a project, so... Therefore, I don't mind doing it. Because I don't have a lot of other things going on, so... We're really gonna get focused on getting that done. So I'm gonna mark it as the problem is I can't print out a label on eBay then I have to pay extra to do it over at UPS which is fine that's where it's going to go UPS. But it's going to take me a day to do it.

So that's one auto printed. That was for the. Nintendo Wii. I was doing. The battery compartment. And then all the outer screws. I sell those sets all the time. Screw sets always give back. The old Sega Dreamcast. I sell those sets a lot. Screw sets always give back.

The old Sega Dreamcast. I missed that. What was that? $6. So I have a $6 offer. I won't do a $6 offer. Even though you would think if it's just a little front LED cover for the top cover of Sega Dreamcast

and two screws, I won't do $6 because it cost me $7 to ship it. So I ain't gonna do $6. Buyers just don't understand that. It's just a decline. If I can't sell even one little part

for $11 shipped, door-to-door service, I need to just start doing something else. Because there's just no way to... Alright, so I need to to i'm just going to mark that as confirmed as picked up oh let's give me something weird uh it's going to be a little bit more difficult it's adding some sort of a pickup um confirm pickup enter the code 1 2 3 4 5 6

invalid code enter a valid code pickup to confirm pickup so I'm gonna run into a big problem there bummer I should have added shipping to and I didn't before I should have waited all right so we'll have to figure that out later that's that's worst case near I cancel the order and redo the order as shipping it's probably gonna have to do now it kind of makes things a little bit more of a pain but we'll figure it out so we're doing the memory cover too that's something new they just added i don't really often have pickup i actually just had somebody pick up something but i haven't done it as only pickup and he just picked it up and that that was it. It lives right here in town.

And then I just marked it as shipped, and it was done. But this was complete only pickup. See, I didn't know that. I would have added shipping as an option. So we'll have to go back through that. So lots of going on. Even though I don't have a lot of orders. I have something that's kind of major.

That's really going to take me some time to. I'm glad I don't have lots of other stuff going on. So that's eBay. So yeah. When I go to eBay. That's when my day really starts. Because then I figure out what's going on, where I'm going, what direction I'm going. Everything else kind of follows that. Podcasts

and everything. YouTube. So I'll do things on YouTube that are related to this whole shipping. It's a major ship for me. I'm nervous. But we'll give it a go. All right. So let's see. We're on a little more than a half hour this morning. Yeah, a lot of things going on. All right, so we'll probably concentrate on that TRS-80 later. My Model 4, 3-4,

as some sort of a system for the day. Yesterday I did chat GPT because I learned I need to clear memory. Because my zippy's brain's full. So I need to clear his brain out. But not everything, because some of it I want to keep. But I wasn't expecting to have to do that

but I do now. Alright, so I'll talk to you guys later on. Alright, have a good day.
