Quiet Ebay Sales Weekend.

Good morning everyone. It is now 5.30, 5.38 actually. Today is Monday the 13th. Again this month is just cruising by which is awesome. Already looking for that spring action which technically is March, April. So yesterday I did a lot. I had another live feed up. On the weekends now I'm putting live feeds up for hours. I left for another five hours. I did lots of Coleco, Texas Instrument. then oh and then I did all my Tandy EX

Tandy 1000 EX and Tandy 1000 SX. I pulled all those out. We're going to sell two of them at some point soon. And then I watched a little football. Not one of the teams that I liked over this weekend. Wildcat weekend won. They all lost.

I won the Broncos. They got beat up bad. I watched a little bit and then they just got they started losing really bad so I shut it off. And then I organized my room. I pulled out some more stuff. I found my sega game gear stuff so we're gonna do that sega cds i got some of that to do a lot of other things i pulled out uh because i always have things to do so so let's see what the morning

brings oh and yesterday banged my head by accident I was putting something down and there was uh I have a clock in my uh hallway and I put something down and I just lifted my head up quick and I hit the edge of it and it had like a really sharp edge and I got a big ding now so if you look at the live video yesterday you can see my big patch on my head. It seemed to heal a little bit. I thought maybe I was going to need stitches. But I took the band-aids off this morning and it's just a big scar now. So I'm going to have a big scar on my bald head.

It was just a weird, like, just one second I just moved the wrong way on something I was next to and I didn't even realize it. Boom. Alright, so let's see what's going on today. We'll check the last scores. The other scores I wasn't really interested in.

But we'll check them out. So, Philadelphia beat Green Bay. The Packers just can't seem to. And the Commanders beat the Bucs. So that's cool. So I think the only team that I wanted to win was the commanders.

So that's cool. So Eagles. So every other team won at home except for the Bucs. They lost. I think that'll be it for Mayfield there. Bucs botched and round pitch. And I guess they're saying that Tom Brady is terrible.

I did listen to him and he is terrible. So I think this is his last year. One year and he's done as an announcer. So that's pretty funny actually. Alright, so let's get right into what's going on. I'd just like to check the news this morning. So the Patriots hired Mike Braville,

which they probably should have just done that last year, but for some reason he wanted to go a year with Gerard Mayo, which I thought was cool. But it just didn't work out. Time for a major change. I think there's other teams that just finished

that lost in the playoffs that will have some changes too. It's really about the extent of me watching football. I'm not into it anymore. A little bit. I like to watch it for a little while. I watched a'm not into it anymore. A little bit. I like to watch it for a little while.

I watched a little of the playoffs yesterday. The Denver game. But it got out of hand really fast and I was like alright.

That's done. I got excited in the beginning because I thought Broncos looked pretty cool. I like the Broncos. But they'll be back next year.

I see them in a good future with Sean Payton there as their quarterback. I mean, as their coach. They got a good deal going on there now. All right, so let's go to Etsy, which continues to be a disappointment. Ooh, I might have two orders there.

I hope. That'll be exciting. I'm not going to give up on it. Let's see. Ooh, I do have two orders. Awesome. Yeah. So I do have two orders.

Um. I can renew that listing. I've got more of those. So. Cool. Even if it's a few bucks, I'll take it. So two lists. I'm'm gonna test those today i'll put four i know i have more of those so all right so that's cool that's eccentric So two orders. One is the PS2 Slim.

The bottom five screws, six screws, and the screw caps. I sell those a lot on eBay. So we'll do that one first. So that's exciting. So as long as I get a little bit as long as I'm not in the negative on Etsy then it's fine even if it's just like

20 bucks or whatever per week or even per month it's fine just so I can keep it going but I think I can't now. I think we're good now. I think I got that. I've got to add some more stuff.

I had to add a subscription to a website called Cart2Cart. And that's costing me money per month. So I've got to add some more stuff to it. One of those other things I need to get to. But to add some more stuff to it. One of those other things I need to get to.

But I haven't got back to. So I'm paying for that. So that's really negative $20 right there. But I need to add more stuff to Etsy. But first I need to do something. I stopped adding stuff. But I add a lot more stuff to eBay. So what it is.

Is it migrates your. Listing from eBay over to Etsy. But it's not a. more stuff to eBay. So what it is, is it migrates your listing from eBay over to Etsy. But it's not a simple migrate. I have to add different things. So it brings everything over to Cart2Cart. And then from there, I have to do it one by one. Which is fine. I mean, there are other places where you can go and pay somebody to migrate it all for you.

However on Etsy it's 20 years or older items and not necessarily really Etsy started out as arts and stuff but there's lots of gaming stuff on there including my parts

and it's supposed to be 20 years older, although a lot of sellers on Etsy have things that are newer. But I try to stay within the constraints of what it's supposed to be. So,

we'll do some more Etsy stuff. I see a little bit going on. I was doing pretty good with Etsy. Then it really got slow. So, I shut it down. Took a few months off. And then I restarted it. But I changed everything into a better category.

I added sales. And I have best offers too. Which I haven't seen a best offer yet. Which is fine. Alright, so those are two. So, and that's a power board for the

Nintendo GameCube. Saw lots of those for the original. The DOL- 001 has the power board on the bottom. And then the DOL. Dash. 101.

Does not. Because the power board. Put in the. In the. Motherboard. Yeah. So the technology. Gets better.

Things get smaller. They integrate. Power supplies. Into. Motherboards. Okay. So that's that. So that's fun. So I have something. they integrate power supplies into motherboards so that's Etsy so I have something there that's more than an Etsy I'll take that

but then after the shipping costs and everything I make maybe those two orders I think I'll make like five bucks eBay search visibility your listings update primary photos I just didn't have time to update photos alright so let's go to my RSS feed

let's see I like just to check my analysis to see what's going on so I had two two uploads yesterday I did Super Nintendo cartridge we concentrated on Super Metroid which was one of the most popular games for Super Nintendo we did a breakdown of kind of how it's made, and I learned about Mode 7. Never knew what Mode 7 was. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Mode 7. That's how they used 2D graphics to give you 3D graphic emulation. So it's not really was...

Super Nintendo is really not... Unless there's a chip in the cartridge that gave it a boost. So Mode 7. So that's the technical advancements for Super Nintendo cartridges. They use Mode 7, which is pretty interesting.

How they somehow... I can't quite understand how they did it, but they but they manipulate 2D graphics to make it look like 3D graphics but it's not because we know when we got to the early 3D graphics how awkward and awful they were like an Atari Jaguar or something really awkward stuff there

so you're better off with the 2D graphics with the mode 7. I look pretty cool. So that's why Super Nintendo looks pretty fun. And it's not awkward at all. Now I know why. I never knew why. I just assumed it was still 2D graphics.

But if you look at it. The difference between. The Nintendo and the Super Nintendo. You can see the better graphics they had more memory to work with so therefore that's how i did it i don't know exactly how it was done it does detail i did read a detail a little bit on how that happens technical wise but i didn't really get too much into it but it is good to know though all right

so let's go to youtube so again i put seven hours on saturday left life my live stream just running i got a good view i think i'm happy with the view i have and the best i can do and then i just do stuff and people come in and out i went up pretty good and i did something i learned something that really kind of gave me a boost of excitement here uh so i went up i'm up over 12,000 subscribers as we always say subs are in the water or you eat them i have subscribers that i greatly appreciate each and every one of them so So I'm at 12,179. So the thing I figured out yesterday, and I thought I should have noticed it. Where is the B? One comment was that I keep saying I only made, so right now it says my estimate revenue is $38.92.

However, that's just for this month. I realized that actually I'm almost at $100 for the three months that I've been doing monetize. I just figured, well, I knew, I thought that's what I was missing. Where is it now? So, down below here shows me the months of how much I've earned in the last six months. So, technically, I got monetized in October. So, we're on one, two, three, four months now.

So, in October, I made $2.60. November, I started doing more and it was a whole month. I had $27.85. In December, which we just finished, I had $41. I knew I was at $41 at one time, $41.87. So now, in January, it says I've made $15.15. So that gives me a total. Where's my total? Oh, show more. So now I feel a little bit better that at least I'm getting some sort of a total.

So my total now is $87. Estimated revenue total, total 87.47 so that's cool i feel much better that at least i'm getting somewhere and i'm always adding stuff and i'm working on my categories i put a bunch of stuff in my furry and feather friends category. Get them going through all my videos and all the fun things I can get and put them in different categories. I've got a category. I'm going to make some other categories. Super Metroid I had 19. My podcasts do well for me. I'm very happy with my podcast.

I'm a big fan of doing it. And I, especially the one in the morning here, kind of helps me wake up. And then I go through. And you can kind of see what's going on in the morning. Oh, so we have one comment here on YouTube. It says, where's the B? And that means that there's a key. It's missing.

It came to me missing. It was about a keyboard for the, my Alps keyboard for the Texas instrument. TI-99-4A. It came to me missing it. Keyboards are a real big thing. I went on board keyboards for different things.

I sold a keyboard yesterday for Texas Instruments. We learned yesterday also, it came to me missing it. There is a sought after keyboard called the Alps for the Texas Instrument.

And then the other one, S-E-J-I, I think it's S-E-J-I-N-G, is Least Wanted. And it's all about the mechanics of the makeup of the keyboard, one compared to the other. All right, so let's see here all right all right so let's go to let's go to ebay so this is usually when i hold my breath because oh let's see oh i just lost it. I hit the wrong button.

Oh. Ah, well. One order. Actually, one message, and this is from the guy. Did anything wrong? But I'm sending it. Yeah. Yeah.

So understand. When any. Buyer. Opens. When any buyer opens a return as defective, that implies I did. I shipped you a broken, untested item. Shown I am as honest and detailed as possible. So understand. So the guy wrote, this is the guy with the return. It says, I didn't say you did anything wrong, but I'm sending it in to get fixed. I might as well have them do the driver too. So understand, when any buyer opens a return as defective, that implies I shipped you a broken untested item. I've clearly shown I am as honest and detailed as possible. the option you chose

as a return is not true and at the same time goes against my account.

Account as explained above. That is the unfair part of all this. That's what I'm looking at. So, understand when any buyer opens a return as defective, that implies I shipped you a broken, untested item.

I've clearly shown I'm as honest and detailed as possible. The option you chose at return is not true and at the same time goes against my account as explained above. That is the unfair part of all of this. give a seller a chance to reply and resolve any issue in the future

before jumping future before jumping right to a return and not option correctly. Give a chance to reply, resolve an issue in the future before jumping right to return with a not correct option. Correct. Not correct option. Selected. Okay.

I will... I always refund as quickly as possible I have free returns so I have to honor them I am allowed to be not happy about it at all. Especially when my integrity is put into question. Is put into question. question I have for free free returns so I have to honor them so I invite one day I put give a seller a chance so I'll put in the future in the future in the future comma give a give a give a seller a chance to reply and resolve any issue in the future. Oh, any issue.

I already had it in the future. Any issue. I'll only put any issue before jumping right to a return with a not correct option selected. I always refund as quickly as possible. I have free returns, so I have to honor them. I am allowed to be not happy about it.

I'm not happy about it at all, especially when my integrity is put into question. It's because you're saying I did defective and I didn't. I don't like that. I don't think anybody would like that. so I don't have any orders on eBay so that's I sold a couple things yesterday so just a quiet weekend you just never know I've been putting lots of stuff up but they're bigger stuff so bigger items are harder to sell um so we're gonna finish i have a wii motherboard and a couple other things pretty simple stuff i'll do the wii motherboard and then we'll go on to doing some more um
