Good morning everyone. It is now after 6, 6.30. Today is the holiday Martin Luther King Day. So I believe that's what the holiday is today. So let's see what happens. Oh let's check my football. We'll check that in a minute. I know the team I wanted to win yesterday but I'm sure it's not the one that won but we'll see that in a second so yesterday I spent the day working on first idea I tore down the Panasonic

Q I forget what it is it's GC something I can't remember the actual model number but it's a Gamecube with the disk drive and all. I bought it as a partial. And it never worked.

But I tore it all down. Because I wanted to see all inside of it. And it has a special modified GameCube board inside of it. So it's pretty cool. So I'm glad I opened it up so I could see what it is. Tons of boards in there. Oh my goodness. It was a jungle. don't know what works what doesn't uh i want to test the power board it's got an original power board on the bottom the kind that usually can be an issue so we'll see if

that's the issue first and then i'll start selling off parts for it. Stick it like the outer shell for now. Top, cover, bottom. Those are nice and clean. I have a remote. Don't know if it works again. And then after that, I spent some time on my Sharp Twin Fan Com. I had a disk drive.

I had to swap dry boards. It was a real pain because there was soldering involved, which I'm not really good at. But I managed to swap dry boards it was a real pain because it was soldering involved which not really good at but I managed to do it and I made it to work so that was it took me about an hour uh because the original drive that was in there the belt was gone and it somehow melted onto the little spindle part so I couldn't just swap the belt. I decided to swap the board. Because the other board wasn't working on that one. But we got it to work.

It took me about an hour. Actually over an hour. But it came out pretty cool. So that was my day yesterday. Pretty much. I was going to list some stuff. But I never got to it. I ended up doing those two projects instead.

Alright. So let's go check out the news. So let's see what happened. Oh, the Bills won. Yeah, the Bills won. I didn't have the Bills beating the Ravens. Ravens with Derrick Henry, I thought they were a force. But no, the Bills won.

That's cool. And the Eagles beat the Rams. I wanted the Rams to win, but no luck. So the Bills won. That's cool. Good for them. So the Ravens lost 25. The Ravens just could never get to that next level.

I thought with Derrick Henry, they would definitely get to that next level. I thought with Derrick Henry, they would definitely get to that next level. I thought they had it easy. So, the Rams lost, which Matthew Stafford still looked pretty good, though. He's been doing it for a long time. I don't think his days

probably for the Rams might be. He might be retiring, I think. Alright, so that's for there. Let's check some news. Is there anything else going on here this morning? Today's Monday. It feels like a Sunday because we're on a holiday.

I can't ship anything out. But I do have to start getting stuff together. Alright, so... Now I think the Bills might be able to beat the Chiefs. That's a very possibility. Quantum form may have inflated the earlier universe.

Africa is splitting apart. That's pretty wild. Oh, this week the, which we'll call it, gets sworn in too. So that should be pretty interesting. All right, so let's see what's going on this morning for me.

Okay. Let's go to my I've had some luck with Etsy. Actually, I think I'm now in the positive. Going forward now. Finally, I think. Nothing there today. I haven't checked.

Let me see if there's any sort of Let's see if any sort of feedback from my Etsy orders I haven't seen anything getting some more favors some people favored some stuff so it's just taking a little while but we're starting to get somewhere a little bit I don't see anything else there all right, so that's there. Let's go to my RSS feed here this morning. Because that's where everything goes through. Once I finish this, I upload it right away. And then I send it out in the message bottle over the internet ocean. As I like to call it.

I'm only getting just a few downloads. One or two. Per episode. But I get a lot more on my. Because this automatically goes to my YouTube. And I significantly get. Pretty good. Lots of downloads there. So I only had one overnight.

So we've gone down. Once I put them up on YouTube. Usually I get 10 or 20 views, which is pretty cool. I'll take it. I'll take one. It's fine. It goes somewhere across the world somewhere. So that's awesome.

It doesn't specifically tell me where that one was. It's the only thing I don't know. Like of all the list of the cities and countries where my things are going, it doesn't tell me where that one. Ashburn has been the most popular one. And then we had some in Australia, Portugal, Norway, Canada. Lots of United States. Mostly just ones. But still fun though for everyone.

It's awesome. I appreciate it. Anybody that comes in. All right. So there's that. Let everyone. It's awesome. I appreciate it. Anybody that comes in. Alright. So there's that. Let's go on to YouTube. I'm glad Ravens lost. Although I do like Derrick Henry.

I thought they had it. Was that combination? I just thought they had it. Plus they had to play at Buffalo too. So that's the other thing. That's the other thing. They had to play at Buffalo too so that's the other thing that's the other thing they had to play at Buffalo and that was a key

alright so let's see I still haven't quite got to my I'm trying to get to 13,000 subscribers we haven't quite got there yet but we're getting there and I

yeah yesterday I did a couple really long videos so you can check those out me swapping that sharp twin fan count took me a while to get that done we got there

i actually i didn't think i was gonna get it done it was because it's the the wiring part was the they were just if i could just unconnect the wires and reconnect them it would have been simple easy peasy but not so much trying to get better at soldering though it's not it's a really simple concept to heat it up and yeah so i got some my dreamcast gamecube code processor so we learned about uh dreamcast is a gd-rom and it's a different disc i didn't realize that so the gd-rom is a GD-ROM and it's a different disk. I didn't realize that. So the GD-ROM is a different disk that holds more memory in it. 1.5 gigabytes

I think it said. As opposed to a disk which is only, I forget how much I said. And it has two stages on a GD-ROM. Two stages on the disk itself and it has some sort of a, like the other

discs have the wobble groove security. This has a different kind of security. Some sort of groove as well. It has the ID for going on to the next process. Or two hours. My resume is $37.

Outstanding. Outstanding. so somebody left me some messages, uh, replica, oh, these are some outstanding, spider, uh, thank you, Thank you. I am always doing something gaming or vintage I'm to reply into a message computing I'm always doing and another outstanding I learned about these while doing a podcast of I learned about doing these I learned about doing these I learned about

I learned about these while doing a podcast about gen is cartridges Gen Is Cartridges Yeah Pretty cool So I like to reply to the message if I see them

So I have three From somebody new Spider something something Pretty cool Cartridges I'm not sure I lost my I want to test this the kind of cartridges I'm not sure I lost my I want to test this I have three cartridges I got their replicas but they were hard to find games but they just some guy just randomly had them for sale

so I bought I bought one of each but I can't seem to find my power adapter for my Sega Genesis so I haven't tested them yet. We will once I find them. I just haven't quite found them yet. Let's see if that did not go to... Oh, so I do have one that's active. I promoted my long, long video.

So, close to 13,000. Not quite there yet, but we're going to get there. Subscri to 13,000. Not quite there yet. But we're going to get there. Subscribers that is. Alright. So that's there. So now let's take a breath here. See what we got going on.

Alright. Let's hit eBay. Been really quiet. Um. Although I did have some orders later on the day yesterday so not a significant lot but enough to make a few bucks

I basically live order by order daily but I can't just I have to do other stuff so I've got Fiverr let's see what we have for some sales here let's see if we have for some sales here. Let's see if we've got anything that helps me out here. Yes, looks like I'll get something that'll help me out.

Cool. So I needed something bigger over this weekend so I could... Because, again, there's always bills coming in, as we all have all the time. So I need to also have income coming in and my only income is through eBay and a little squirt of income on Etsy now

but I was hoping YouTube as I've said many times thought it would come around for me, but it seems like I'm putting a lot of time into it, but no going. I'll let you know when I get my first $100. Eventually.

I'll probably spend another $250 on promotions this week, this month. So we're not going in the correct direction, but keep building it up. So feedback is good. It's not exactly or exactly as described yeah it's good works perfect fast shipping that's cool so let's see we have offers and we'll go from there so I six dollar offer Order has been cancelled. Refunds on the way.

Oh he cancelled that. I knew he was going to do that. He cancelled the order. I knew he was going to do that. This disc I got for it was only $79. And everyone else was selling it for like $1000. He must have saw it and then just canceled it on me. Ah, bugger.

See more details. Order canceled. We should refund you in three to five days. What was it? Buyer asked to cancel. Ah, you bastard. I hate to say that. I didn't ask to cancel. Ah, you bastard. I hate to say that. I didn't ask to cancel anything.

Hot Gamers. Ah, my guy's going to get a piece of my mind. Ah, you knucklehead. See, he knew it was worth... He figured it out it was worth more than what I paid for it. I'm going to lose my mind on this one this morning. It's just... Yeah. for it. I'm gonna lose my mind on this one this morning. It's just... yeah.

I usually don't leave bad feedback but I I did not ask to cancel this. This is the order I paid for. Repay. paid for repay what I bought it for this cancellation is wrong on so many levels. So now I'm going to be, I did not ask to cancel that. I did not. I did not. Now let's see what he has it listed for I know what he did bugger

guaranteed I know what he did let's check what he's got now ah that just so aggravated me this morning. Where is it? Unless he just didn't list it or... No, I don't see it now.

Oh well It's not that big of a deal It's just that I didn't I was gonna I could use the money right now Obviously But I didn't cancel that order

I knew I knew he would do that to me I just knew it It just seemed to But hey If that's what you listed for That's what you listed it for that's what you listed it for Apple Macintosh Power

let's see what that is in a minute so I'm not doing that for $8 no so we'll talk about that again normally i don't talk about things as a buyer because i knew i don't cause any problems usually but if i order something and now i'm not gonna do that um although i could use it. I don't want that much for that.

I'll just decline that for now. I'm going to keep that one anyway. I need one. Yeah, as a buyer, I hardly ever cause any problems. I try not to. I always leave five feet, five full feet, five full star feedback. And then they never hear from me again.

Yeah. So. So. I don't even know. Some people, when they leave a really low offer There's some sort of a message to it I never even read it

I just decline it I don't even care what they have to say $25 I might take that one Yeah that one I will take I'll do $25 for that Those are Coleco motherboards Yeah I'll do, I'll do $25 for that. Yeah, I'll take that. Those are Coleco motherboards. Yeah, I'll do that for $5.

I need the extra little bit of cash. End of the month bills are coming in and I have to. So I'll do that. That'll help me out. The other guy canceled the order on me so i got that money back i was talking about that uh sega cd game on my uh podcast yesterday and then a lot of times when i'm doing a podcast like this one or when i'm doing the one during the day uh if i see something game it looks kind of cool it was one of those games from the guy that does the Death Stranding I can't say his name

so I cross referenced while I was doing it and I saw the game really cheap so I bought it I was like oh cool and then the guy just declined on me bugger yeah it doesn't really matter I'm not doing it

yeah $6 it doesn't really matter. I'm not doing it. Yeah. $6. It doesn't matter. I don't know what to do with that. So I can't do $6 offers. So this is Sega Genesis. There's two buttons.

The power and the reset. He only wants one. So he thought he could do it for half of the price of the listing. Down to $6. But it's not practical. It cost me almost $8 to sell even one ounce item. Although it sounds like it would make sense, it doesn't. So that's not going to happen. So, new offer.

Did we do the offer? We did that. Yeah, we did that offer. So I had to take that. All right, so let's go back to this knucklehead that declined on me. Because you're not going to hear the end of it now. I hardly ever. So this guy's name is HotGamer-US.

And I specifically looked at his cancellation. And it says, when you do a cancellation for a buyer. So a lot of times I'll make mistakes and lose things. Or I just can't find an item. So I always contact the buyer first so he's not surprised. And say, hey listen, sorry I can't find it. I misplaced it. I have to cancel

the order and then i do the cancellation but when you do the cancellation you have to make a choice it's either out of stock uh uh address buyer address problem or the buyer asked to cancel and that's the one you're not supposed to do. Unless the buyer specifically says. I wanted to cancel the order. And I did not. Say anything about canceling that order. I'm bummed about that. Nothing I really need.

But it was just. It looked like a good deal. And unfortunately. He. But I paid for it. That's what he had it listed for, and I paid for it, but, so, let's go back to that cancellation, where is it, now, order cancellation, so, he did it as, so, if you go to, you look at your listing, so, again, I'm working right now as a buyer not a seller as a buyer

i paid a pretty good amount for that and he uh but they were listed for a lot more elsewhere but that's not my problem i didn't list it that way so we'll make a big stink about that to a certain point and I'm like I'm done I did not ask to cancel the order alright so that's my morning as a buyer I have an issue

that I'm not happy about but I'm sure there's nothing I'm going to be able to do about it it's just a real pain alright so I got some orders here alright so that's my morning so as a buyer sometimes I can have issues

but normally I'm usually really good about it and I'm sure I'm sure I probably will still leave 5 full star feedback although I really want to bash him but I won't because I hate getting bashed if I make mistakes but he purposely cancelled

the order on me because either he didn't know it was worth more or he just I'm not sure why but again i had no contact about why he was canceling it i mean if you were to contact me say hey you know i ran a mistake i should have enlisted at a higher price i'm going to cancel your order but to go and cancel an order without even telling me and then and and then saying that i told you to cancel the order as as an option is wrong on every level so not a fan of that at all so that might lead to a

negative feedback it just might i'm i haven't done one in a long time and i hate to do it but come on that's that's directly going against everything that you should be doing as a seller I mean I think if it was me and if I had listed it wrong I always check every price if I wanted something much higher or I always usually research it make sure it's

what it's worth when I list it I probably would have contacted I definitely would have contacted the buyer first and most likely cancel the order but I'm not sure I probably would have contacted I definitely would have contacted the buyer first and most likely cancel the order but I'm not sure but he did on me so real bummed so that's my morning

a little something interesting different today usually my issues are as a seller although they've been pretty good lately knock on wood today's an issue as a buyer so really bummed about it not fair alright so I'll Although they've been pretty good lately. Knock on wood. Today is an issue as a buyer. So. Really bummed about it.

Not fair. Alright. So I'll talk to you guys later on. And then we'll pick up something. I did Sega Dreamcast. And I did Sega. I mean Nintendo GameCube discs. Which was interesting.

I learned some stuff there. We'll go on to maybe like PS2 today. Oh no, I'm going to do original Xbox discs. I did learn yesterday that they speed at five times the speed. Alright, so we'll go on and do that later. So you guys have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you later. Alright, bye.
