Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Monday 3/17/2025

Episode Date: March 17, 2025

Happy St. Patrick's Day 2025. I do have some Irish in me, I do not celebrate do to this being mostly about alcohol drinking. I have been Sober since 2011 which saved my Life.

Good morning everyone. It is now 546. Today is Monday. I believe today is St. Patrick's Day actually. 317 2025. Nothing I would really celebrate but it's fun to have it. St. Patrick's Day. So that's today. Pretty cool. So yesterday I worked on, oh I worked on my Tandy, I mean on my Radioshack TRS-80, the original 261001 computers with my monitor I just got in the 261201. So I worked on that, one works, I have two of the computers. One I pulled apart. There's an extra rail system for RAM. I think that's where the issue is, but I haven't quite figured it out. I finally broke my first pin off a socket thing. Pulling the thing out. I gotta find a better way. I was dreaming about ways to come off uniform and go straight up in a way

almost like a I was thinking like a wheel pulley puller. Have you ever seen a wheel pulley puller where you latch it on and then there's a center and you turn it and it pulls it off that way? This would be the opposite you would latch it on either end of the chip and Then on the out on the outer side of that would be Little wheels that you would turn on either side and it would slowly pull the chip up You know I'm saying that's what I'm thinking That's what my brain came up with some sort of a wheel pulley But not with a center turn in.

It would be on the outer, because you've got to pull the whole chip up past the lot where it locks into. So you'd be able to turn and have a slider going back and forth that would turn and lock onto the chip, depending on what chip it is. And then on the other side is the two mechanisms turning mechanisms that slowly pull it up uniform in one time therefore not breaking it or pulling it off because usually right at the end when you go to pull those old socket chips off that I get it I get stuck and I also

know for my force turns it and then I end up breaking the chip so that's what I came up with yesterday so we worked on that for quite some time and then I was doing some more oh I was doing some more room I listed a few things on eBay yesterday. Just a couple of Philips Xbox One, no I'm sorry, 0105 original Xbox disc drives, the Philips drives. The better ones, there's two different ones in those. But it's the better ones that work, so I had two good working ones. I listed those. I went back to Super Fan fancom and I did learn yesterday that you can play

super nintendo on super fancom I always thought you could because I learned that a while ago that you could play the n64 is just an n64 motherboard inside there's no regional lock and you can once you pull the cartridge slot off then you can put the either game it's the cartridge slot that makes the difference but on the super fancom it's actually the cartridge that's different but I tried a super Nintendo and a super fancom game and it worked so that's something new I'm not sure if they all do that the one I was using was the soundbox one so I'll have to try that I got some more that pull out today. We'll retest some more Sticking with super fancom because I get some more stuff listed for those

I Got a lot more cartridge slots not to which is cool. I tested all those so I sell lots of those the cartridge slots All right, so let's see what's going on this morning here in the world of New Zealand. Lots of post Super Bowl and free agency football stuff going on. So whatever happened last year is just basically wiped out and you know we're starting new. So it's kind of fun. I fun i like that idea uh... see will see snow whites come out with interesting

pouring rain out today windy rainy smarties a to small c Let's see anything else in the news again lots of football stuff going on I use MSN so I quickly just see what's going on. I don't see anything that's jumping out. Alright so let's go into Etsy. I had one order in the last few days. It's been pretty quiet. Now hey, I'm a little confused about with the des- alright let's see what we got going on here. We have a question or message. It says, hey I'm a little confused with the description. This comes

with parts showing the listing correct. The screws, the fan, and other parts. All right, let's see what the listing was. Inside screw fan. So yes. Seems like it's here. So, so, yes, exactly as described. 70 this is ps2 slim so only the 70012 has This

Extra Board Which is also Detailed I Am unsure also detailed. I am unsure of your confusion. Yes, the main photo should always be the parts shipping, but there may be variations. Variations. Example. The fan can be black or silver.

But there may, may not lie, there may be. Example, the fan may be black or exact, exact as described. Let's get that out of there now. I'm not gonna put that in there. Yes, there. Only the 7012 has this extra board which is also decent I'm sure. I tried to make it as straight forward as possible. Of course, everything I do now, and not everything,

I use a short video. I'm not sure if those are pulling over, pulling things over from eBay to here and Etsy for listings, adding new listings. So alright, so we answered his message. Of course things, I do first things when I get up in the morning here. Open up my stores.

Again, I just literally just get out of bed. My store is open. Stores. So that's my Etsy. No orders, just someone asking about parts All right, so let's go to RS feed check that out this morning Yeah, so the main photo should always be the photo the parts that are gonna ship

so sometimes buyers will say One item, but they show two I would never do that. That's just a return waiting to happen. So I'm going to show whatever I'm listing I'm going to show it in the main photo and if there's variations of some of the parts I try to make sure I detail that. Like the motherboard may have different ones. If you're doing multiple listings it gets confusing for some people and I think I have a straightforward oh we're three downloads pretty awesome let's see we got here who got some new people Brazil oh st. Paul Brazil pretty fun Hattiesburg Hutto in the United

States Palmaria and Min Manala in the United States. Just a few dots. Cool. Brazil. I haven't done anything down there in a while. That's exciting. It helps me remember where things are now. Because I see a map on my rssfeed.com here. And it's real red dots and that tells me where these downloads have come from. And now I can see down on the African continent, that's where Brazil is. I forgot all about that. All right, so pretty cool.

So welcome anybody that comes in. Make sure you go check out my YouTube, which is where we're saying, that's where I do all my videos daily. Or my eBay store. I think I have all the links on there for those. So speaking about YouTube let's see what we've been growing significantly on YouTube but of course I've been promoting. This may be the biggest month I promoted and

I really can't afford to do it. I'm kind of on a buying freeze after the last few things, so now I'm just concentrating on getting more stuff listed on eBay. So we've gone up 27,229 subscribers. My revenue is finally ticking up just a little teeny bit. When we're talking revenue, we're talking $26.81 That's all I made this month. I've made my first hundred so so I you have to get your first hundred Dollars and then you the Google will pay you but I've already put in I Would I would only want the working faceplates? Yeah

I'll pay shipping. Sorry. This is a eBay listing, listing, selling, selling them as a lot. As, is, many, many buyers fix them or use parts of them. Hence the listing. I have my pump go off. I have two sump pumps in my basement. It must be really, really raining a lot because I can hear the sump pumps going off.

I just upgraded my sump pump this year. I needed it. I'm glad I did because it made a huge difference. Selling them is... Selling year. I'm glad I did because I made a huge difference. Selling them is... I am... So I'm replying to this comment on YouTube. It said I would only want the working faceplates. I'll pay shipping. Sorry, this is an eBay listing. I am selling them as a lot as is. Many buyers fix them or use them as part, hence the listing title. ones intact per order on eBay. Maybe I'll throw a link at that. I would only want. Oh yeah so let's go back to Sue. 27,229. I've gone up 8,609 subscribers, pretty fun.

I've been trying to consistently put new fun things up. Always trying to mix it up. My Gotham Goonies are still hanging in at 1.8. I put an extra few bucks. I think a couple of my listings I wanted as far as $30. So I'm really gonna get hit big time. Hopefully I'll have sold some stuff on eBay to pay for it. Cause I'm definitely, I'm getting running out of cash.

But I really, I'm on a good run here. All my views have gone up significantly to 85.5K. I was down to like 60 something. My watch hours have gone up eight seven eight point one So everything's going up again, so I got to ride the wave And I got to keep promoting It's the only way that I can get From if I don't promote I

May have 12 12 or 13 views My radio shack I just did yesterday my long video I have 12 or 13 views. My radio shack I just did yesterday, my long video. Today I got 188 views. So for me that's a lot. Unless I like super promote it. Then I can get into the thousands.

I have a Gotham Goonies, my stop motion. My little side thing I like to do once in a while. I'm already game planning my next stop motion. It's got to be things other than gaming and computing to help try to draw other people in. So I've been working on that. Oh, my life in a double shape. That's my little series I do. That's at 1.7k so that one's been doing really well. And then Rises of Ninja Turtles, Epic Sewer. I've been doing, that's got 1.2.

That's when I built it and rebuilt it and then built it up again. And then tore it down to put it in a box. So stuff like that, I need other stuff. So I'm working on it. Coming up with ideas that I can do. I do it on my own here. So I'd like to do some sort of more film or video.

But the problem is it's just me so it's kind of hard to do any sort of film or anything like that. I could though. Just me. But it's that motion I can do as me. It's pretty fun. But it's very time-consuming to do it. I mean, I come on great It's just I just grab a bunch of stuff at random and make some kind of weird thing All right, so let's go to eBay so now we can segue into that

See if we had a little bit action going on I can use a good day on eBay lots of offers I don't want this please regard the offer please ignore my 15 I no longer want this so people are just regarding something let's see what else is going on looks like a low offer anyways all right oh cool I had some more I had some sales yeah I need something cool that'll help me out let's see what we sold first a model 3 top cover plastic Okay, so we can do that. We sold an original Xbox 01 through 05, the disk drive cables, and the caddy, no disk drive.

Another original Xbox 01, 05, the CPU clamp it's a lot to those I've sold all the GPU ones that you can take and replace the original 0.0 Xbox motherboard that had the fan in it you take the fan off and you put in the You put in they just the heat sink itself and it quiets it right down. It's a lot quieter. It looks like somebody ordered a bunch of panels for PS, I mean for the Xbox 360 fat. Looks like shades of black, one side, two panels, HDMI, so basically just two replacement outer shells. So that's a nice order. Those are the ones I like. Those are the things that are on the outside that people look for. So that's pretty cool. So I've got a few different things to

print out. Nothing really too difficult to do. Alright, let's go check out these. Let's see. Holy cow. It was a journey to get here. So we got a long, let's read this. This is a long feedback pack. Well, wait a minute.

Holy cow. It was a journey to get here. I was only going to buy, I was going to buy a whole new ps2 When one of my fuses blew but I figured out I could just get a new motherboard and this one came and was in perfect Condition it was clean and everything worked perfectly no blown fuses here This was much cheaper than buying a whole ps2. So it was a great value So yeah, it was a beautiful and high quality refurbished Looking almost as new as a day. It was manufactured all All in all in all fantastic 10 out of 10. Yeah, that's what we like to see those are my that was the

PS 3 I mean PS2FAT, the GH015 motherboard. So both of those I sold and both were happy, so that's cool. Cause sometimes, yeah, a lot of those have blown fuses and I just hope that there wasn't any. I didn't think there was, but alright. So now we're gonna go back to messages.

Hold on, I wanna check something here though. So sometimes when I get my eBay going here, But alright, so now we're gonna go back to messages So sometimes I get up when I get my eBay going here's lots of things going on so And this is one of those mornings nothing to Nothing to nothing too oh eBay just changed the direct 30 second 30 minute video from two dollars to free that's cool. It's gonna cost me two bucks if I want to do it in a few minutes other than doing it on your bank

for some reason it's crossed out here. Okay, so let's see, 28. Yeah, so let's get that out. Let's see what happens. It says free, so. Oh, maybe they changed it to default. Oh, maybe they changed, I see what they did. So eBay changed something on me.

The same 30 minutes, but it's now 30 minutes to your bank not 30 minutes to a credit card therefore saving you two dollars but then it says if if the bank doesn't take it then it defaults to the next day huh that's we'll see what we'll see what happens okay let's go back to messages, so we got all kinds of stuff going on from I can see from the office it was all right, so Let's go to Look at the messages. So I says I've I've seen you have a listing for the set Already and what I have to purchase separate interest in buying today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, those, those exact ones are for you. Yes. Yes, make make make the purchase With this is for two shades of gray Xbox 360 fat so after 2009 they were really they were blacker before 2009 they were like a lady they were like a grayish black and it makes a difference in buyers I've had them wanting to get returned so I had to really specify

specify it could be either or but this guy wanted the black and I managed to find a set for him yes make the purchase on this listing and Those will those will See a lot of people ask me questions. I'm sleeping. All right, so fifteen15 for Wii. Good case, so let's see what this. So please ignore $15. I no longer need DVD drives. Okay cool, so I was going to decline that anyway. It's not what we can do. $60 for original Xbox. What's this? 2x30. I kinda need the 60 bucks so we'll just take those

We'll send those on their way So I need to put some Orders together here to miss make some money, so we'll take those Decided just to take those Not quite what I wanted, but it's all right. All right, so then I'll leave a message for this guy and he'll be all upset. Because I'm gonna, $15, I don't want this, please disregard.

Sega Genesis. I don't want this Sega Genesis 16 disregard. That's weird, I had two different buyers make an offer and then sent me a message saying disregard. How weird is that? What's the odds of that? Very, very slim. Okay, so we're going to decline that anyway.

So but I sold those other one which is pretty cool. Then we got front loader, Phillips head, would you do two sets? Sure, sure, two sets, sure. Yes, that is fine. Sets of screws for the NES side loader. The six bottom screws. They're just Phillips head screws. But I always have the original ones of course. I would never do anything other than sets of original stuff. Yes this is that is fine. Okay all right so now let's reply to, first the guy with the, he was only off by $3, so

I would have taken that cartridge slot for the Sega Genesis 1601, the flop, so, okay, so, okay, okay, I push the put okay for that one, but the other guy, that's the one we're gonna fun with, well not fun with, I'm just gonna be honest with him. Please ignore my $15 no longer need to... Yes, it would have been declined anyway. Free shipping is not free for me. After all these, these cost me about $12 to ship them. You're also in Oregon, and I ship from Rhode Island.

So that is also the worst case scenario is also the worst case scenario for my extra shipping cost. are meant for a buck or two off. That is about it. Okay, worst case scenario. So, please ignore if you're not knowing about them. So I said, yes. I would have declined it anyway. Free shipping is not free for me. After all fees, these cost me about $12 to ship them. You're also in Oregon and I ship from Rhode Island,

so that was also the worst case scenario for my extra shipping cost. Best offers are meant for a buck or two off. That is about it. Sometimes you just gotta school some buyers. Normally I'm, obviously we won't probably hear from them again anyway, but. All right, so I got a few orders there.

Oh, kind of a, oh actually, been out for a while now. So we have some messages and some, lots of stuff going on. So I never know when I get up in the morning although I call it Groundhog Day in regards to that I'm doing the same routine everything is always very very different and you never know what I'm gonna wake up to overall good good feedbacks which is yay which is awesome that. I always like things that are good, fun, and positive. Some weird offers and stuff like that. But overall I'll take it. I got a few sales in which I needed because

end of the month bills are coming in so I gotta... So when I start to, when I do videos and everything, which I try to do as many as I can takes away from listing and eBay and So I Have to kind of like balance it right now. I need to go back to doing more eBay listings so Because I have to keep putting fresh listings up and I need to transfer some more Listings from eBay to Etsy which is also on

my radar. Alright so you guys have a good day and we'll see you in the morning and see what tomorrow brings. Alright have a good day. Thanks. Bye.
