Apple Classic M1420

Good morning everyone it is now 622 on Friday 328 2025 so we're going into April very quickly, which is great my birthday is April 8th I'll be 57 and as I always talk about I've been clean and sober Since 2011 which basically saved me and things have been pretty good since then got a good which basically saved me and

Things have been pretty good since then got a good stable mental health got that all straightened out So we've been living the best life that I can for what I have Since then pretty much learned lots of stuff and all about gaming went back to all my vintage computing So doing lots of fun stuff in my later life here, and we're gonna continue to keep doing that going forward So there's thousands of videos. I've done on YouTube and Yesterday, I actually sat down and did a one-on-one Put on my silly Mario hat that I really know Yeah, my Mario hat I put on and we just talked about Where where I've gone come from and where I've been with YouTube and how it's going.

It's a good one on one, I thought. Came out pretty good. I do it usually for about an hour. I have a live feed open too, for any questions, but I didn't really get any. Actually, I didn't have any many views on the live feed part, but we put it up anyway. And then of course I promoted it.

I put a few bucks in there more than I normally do because it seemed like it would be a good video usually those do pretty well so well so we'll check it out today and then I kind of shut things down early I haven't watched any TV or movie so I finally decided to watch Electric State which I'm a big fan of it was cute it's just kind of silly but it's really cute with all the little robots and stuff on Netflix I have Netflix Prime has lots of good movies too I sat down with my I'm a big fan of it was cute. It's just kind of silly, but it's really cute with all the little robots and stuff on Netflix I have Netflix Prime has lots of good movies, too

I set down my dogs on the couch was me my Roxy Ranger And then I now I put my little buddy precious my little giddy pig on the couch And he hangs out with us too, so I got my three amigos on the couch and I just kind of shut the date on early yesterday And then that was it so oh I played a little bit Resident Evil. I mean not reason Silent Hill 2. I'm still into that Getting there. I finally got the third band to put on the arm So if you play the game, you know what I mean? I had to cheat and find out what the padlock cold was. I didn't quite understand where that was coming from Same with the safe. I didn't know where that is either.

So I just cheated but the game is really fun. Big fan of it, lots of places to go, lots of spooky little rooms and stuff. I really really am a really big fan. Alright so and then that was it. And then my day was done, I went to sleep early. I was tired And so let's see what today is. Let's see what today was going on. Oh, there's a big earthquake somewhere And something about a high-rise fell which is pretty scary stuff some of those countries they have really really big high rises and that's

Great, but seven point seven. That's pretty big for an earthquake I think it was in Thailand I believe saw something about it Rocksteady's new game Rocksteady has a new Batman game coming out it's coming to PS6 they're already talking PS6 and next gen Xbox so we're kinda in a low I'm not buying any more Xboxes ones I don't have any I I have an Xbox One 1540 that I could play some games on but I put

Xbox aside and I don't really want an X or anything else or the S so I'm going to wait to see. And I keep hearing something about a handheld Xbox so if that would come out that would be cool. I would probably invest in that and just have a hand on Xbox one handheld that would be really neat But I'm holding out and again. I have my ps5 slim I had a pro for one day, and then I sold it It's a little too big and you really couldn't afford it, so I also had a portal

I'd like to get another portal, but I can't afford it either These days it's you know things are tight and everything just keeps Rising prices So we have to kind of I just I've been doing a sale on eBay So it's still for a few more days, and I always do sales, but this was a little bit bigger, so I sold lots of stuff I just need one screw on Yeah Okay, oh that wasn't down the message

Yeah, I understand But free shipping this guy's talking about is not free for me After all fees Shipping this is I finally finally had somebody asked me for one screw. He wants one screw for the bottom of the PS1. So my minimum is $13 now. So I understand. But free shipping is not free for me. After all, free shipping, even this one screw, screw UPS ground

and Tidge is Eight dollars my cost out the door My minimum Order now is $13. says you need to purchase something else for me to add a screw to ship. And there's no such thing as putting a screw in a stamp. So, I understand. So, one screw. Yeah, I could do one screw, but it has to amount to something. Right?

Because you gotta, I do everything, most of my little orders, I do everything for two or three dollars per order. That's what I make. So I've got to make at least that. If I'm not making two or three dollars then why am I doing it? Is what I always say. Right? I mean I love to help you out but sending new money for old money doesn't really help

me out. So I've got to make at least a couple bucks. Because again it's a door to door service. So yeah, if the guy needs one screw, I get it. So for, I have to have the screw first, and then I've got to pack it, ship it, pay for all that, and then send it to you the same day, mostly I usually ship out the same day when I can.

Or if not, the next morning, but usually the same day. And then you get a door-to-door service, and a couple days you get the screw you need But I gotta make a few bucks to do it It's it's a service that they pay for I always it's like that door dash I laugh at that door dash not in my lifetime or ten lifetimes what I ever pay somebody To get my groceries to bring them to my door but in the instance of this Screws and stuff. That's basically what you're doing, you're door dashing for the screw. But I gotta make a couple bucks

doing it, and obviously I don't get tipped or anything. So my tip is the few dollars I make. So that's my little spiel this morning about that. RSS feeds been zero lately. I still do my morning podcasts anyway, because they still go over to my YouTube I'm really had any Downloads at all in the last few days And I just haven't been motivated to come up with a second I got to double back and start doing a second podcast very soon. Maybe maybe not Maybe I'll just keep it as as my early morning podcast

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I'll just keep it as my early morning podcast. Because basically, just let you know so that you can come over to my YouTube page and see all some videos and go to eBay store. So I do this as an extra little bonus. Oh, I had two downloads yesterday. Oh cool, yay. But then I'm always excited when I finally get a download. Canada, Hamilton, Canada, welcome.

St. Onio, United States, so that's cool. So I got a couple, two new dots, that didn't have it a while. In the last seven days I had two downloads. But I try to keep it, this short podcast, which is usually around 20 minutes, gaming related, talking about, and vintage computer related, talking about YouTube.

Oh, let's see what YouTube did. So yesterday I did that one-on-one video. Let's see what we get out of it. I shut it down earlier and I said, I'm just gonna let it stay and see how it went. Let's see if it was anything of, no, nothing really that significant. I gave it a whirl, but didn't seem to.

So I'm at 29,449 subscribers. Comment, thanks for your video, convince me. Convince me. Convince me. Oh good I saved it now. Great. Great. This is about the boiler thing. Great.

I helped out another. This is a boiler. It's for the Aquasmart 7610B. One of the things I did for DIY for me. I had to change a sensor and that fixed the problem. And a couple of people have helped do it. Simple fix. Great, I helped out with another one with a simple fix. Cool. Let's see how many views do we have for my... I left it at the...

I had 373 on my videos, which is my YouTube one. I left that running yesterday. I thought maybe we'd get more, but it's still more than I normally get. And I moved the... So my YouTube creator was 14. So my YouTube creator was 14, my Sinclair was 3 something. I was hoping for more but it is what it is. So we're still getting close to getting to 30,000 subscribers. Let's see how much we spent so far. $2.72 so far. I put a lot for that one.

So again, it's all about from paying for promotions so average percentage view 24% 73 views click through so we got some click throughs so I got my YouTube setup so there's 12 different playlists and then within those playlists some of, uh, playlists. And then within those playlists, some of them, or the playlists is more multiples. So you can look for stuff, see what's going on in different areas. So I try to maximize that space as best I can. Okay, so we're there. So let's go back to...

So today we're going to do, oh I was working, I was going to do, while I was working, I was going to do Apple, Apple Schmapple, as I call it. I've got to go back to the two, I have two Macintosh Classic Apples, the M1420s. I need to swap the power board again because I realized that the other one didn't have a fuse in it, but I don't think that's the problem, but we'll see. So we'll do some Apple today and we'll do some other stuff today I just took a break over for a little bit yesterday. Let's check out my eBay Sales still going on. Let's see we have four messages By a counter $10 I'll give I've been giving a

Coupon I'll do a little extra offers But I won't I'm not giving stuff away. Well. This is for the inner frame for the PS4 slim He's offering me $10. It's gonna cost me $15 to ship it on thing So that's not happening because I mean that'd be have to pay him $15 to ship it on anything. So that's not happening, because that means I'd be able to pay him $5 to ship it. So that's a heck no. And I personally decline everything or accept it.

And I'm not gonna take that either. It's too low. Another one I'm not gonna take, because it's just, it's a Thompson drive I saw them for 21 he wants 16 Because it's gonna get again that's gonna cost me almost 14 to ship it so If again, we were just talking about if I can't make these two or three dollars per order then why would I want to do it? I like to help people out believe me

I'll help everyone out if I could but I have to make something in order to do it Buyers just don't get that and that's just it's too bad but alright, so let's look at my some feedback arrived as described fast shipping for the latch for the Dreamcast arrived quick and worked as advertised That was good enough. It was a good deal. Would have preferred higher quality shipping materials. I don't know. It's just a little board I put on there. I don't really need to make it to shipping more high quality. It's in a box. I will reply to that though because it's something that's so I'm gonna reply to that one because I see something that's uh okay

let's reply to that one uh okay um okay I ship each item out as quickly and safely as possible. This was a small board and a anti-static bag, then taped to the packing slip in a box. I'm sure what more needed to be added. I also took a lower offer. So... I can put a lower offer though. So, I shipped each item out as quickly and safely as possible. This was in a small box in an anti-static bag need to be a better quality also I had taken a much lower offer much lower offer. And now I'm going to put that on.

So I take a much lower offer, so... With these... So with these discounts, I need to ship the best I can with what I have. These constant. These constant. Constant. Constant. Const, constant. I can't const. It's an S and't constant. It's an SNA constant. So with these constant discounts to buyers, I need to ship the best I can with what I

have. Always remember, free shipping is not free for me. After all fees... After all fees... Even one ounce... ounce is... ounce is... 1 ounce, United States Postal Service. Ground advantage is $8.00. My cost out The door. Okay. Cool.

So that's where we read that around. I like to reply to this. And there's always two sides, I'm sorry. So he wrote, was a good enough deal, would prefer higher quality materials. So if you're asking for a lower cost, then using materials are not higher quality. But either way, I would be the same that I would ship it. I ship each item out as quickly and safely as possible. This was a small board in an anti-static bag bag then taped to the package slip in a box.

I am unsure what more needed to be added. Would the box or anti-static bag need to be better quality? Also I had taken a much lower offer so with these constant discounts to buyers I need to ship the best I can with what I have always remember free shipping is is not is not free for me after all fees even one no not even one ounce one ounce, one ounce, one ounce, United States UPS, United States Postal Service ground, ground advantage is $8 my cost, cool. And then we'll send that to him too I always do that now it gets

a conversation going so so we'll send that to him select item title. So I'll send a message and sometimes I replied to it and either not a good way or whatever. But I like to if I see something that says I didn't do something correctly or if I didn't, then why I didn't or why I do it the way it is, it's important to reply to it. Even though it's a positive feedback, it required a reply. At least I think it did for me. All right, so we did that.

All right, so we got some orders, Cool. So let's see what we have for orders here. I gotta do a couple things. So feedback was good, but just one with a little ding to it. You get a lot of those feedback, but you get a ding, as I call it. Say you did thank you, but something wasn't the way they wanted it. So it's important Something wasn't the way they wanted it. So it's important that I say well This is why you got it the way you did which was perfect And you got it like a day probably or two because it would have shipped the same day Okay All right, so so we're good so let's see what else we are so there's a couple more things today So let's see what else we got.

I sold a couple more things today, so let's see what we got going on here. Alright, so we had five orders this morning. Still going on the sales. We got some good stuff here. Two power buttons and the LED for Sega Genesis 1631, the top cover. That's the first one. The second one is metal, the metal plate top and bottom for NES. Two pads for the bottom of the Nintendo GameCube case. So it's all the other parts that have nothing to do with it working. Oh, I sold my second Tandy 1000EX disc drive.

I sold the other one yesterday and then I just sold this one. So that's cool. And then the second one and the last one is a Nintendo Wii Motherboard the model 10 20 or 30. I have 140 listed So alright, so that's my little thing this morning again I call it groundhog day because every day is kind of the same routine But we never know what my day is to bring until I actually get my eBay page up.

Again, looking for damage control, messages, anything like that, offers, all that kind of stuff. Then my eBay day always just kind of takes me in that direction. So now I have a direction with these five orders of where my day will start and then I also have projects in my mind of things I'm gonna do later when I have some time and that's pretty much how we go every day so so if you've never seen the movie It's kinda like that. Okay. So let's see what else we got going on here. I think that's it for now.

Alright, so you guys have a good day, and we will talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
