Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Monday 6-2-2025

Episode Date: June 2, 2025

Here is a Selling Gaming Parts Anomaly that often Happens from Buyers. My Low-End Listing is Best Offered Down from $15 to $10. It also includes a Message if I can ship the Best One I Have. What? That Makes No Sense to Me. Remember Free Shipping is Not Free for Me. After all Fee's even one Ounce now is $8 my Cost out the Door. So, Take Bucks away from the few I make but at the same time expect best Cosmetic I have. It Just make no sense to me. I have never been in a discount section of a store were all the Great Items are.

Good morning everyone it is now 642 today is June The second it's Monday, so everyone's going back to the normal work week Of course my work week is every day pretty much Although Sunday I get a little bit of reprieve, but I did spend another three or four hours moving stuff around Trying to organize a middle room we still have lots of stuff but I Put more stuff down my below room, which is more all my gaming stuff. I need to go through yet, so

Worked on that and then played around a little bit of computer for a while End of the day. I did a video Earlier I did GameCube So we went through GameCubeube I still have my N64 motherboard to test I think I know where I'm look I lost the jumper packs so I think I know where they are now I'm gonna find the jumper packs and we'll test those today but yesterday I went through some tests and some spindles and lens assemblies I've have three good ones and

So we went through all that for a while so that was pretty cool So today we're going to continue like I said, I have a super Nintendo to look at the motherboard that's one sound box and then I have the sound box for the I Mean then I have the N64 which is an 08 motherboard, which is the one of the quote-unquote better ones Wait than the 09 this so from for N64. There is the original 03 motherboard The 04 05 those are all originals then the 06 7 & 8. I did find one of each one of those then the 06, 07, and 08. I did find one of each one of those. Oh, 08 I've had a lot of them. And then the 09, which is the last motherboard for the N64. And of course, you can play Japan or US games on those. There's no region lock, it's the cartridge slot. So you just take off the top cover and remove the cartridge slot and you can play either Japan or US games.

Nintendo GameCube, however, does have a region lock, so you have to have that certain motherboard in order to play. Everything else is exactly the same. Alright, so let's see what's going on here this morning here. Alright. Okay, so let's see. Let's see, oh my, it was actually a really slow weekend weekend But that's all right because I really wanted to get some stuff done So I really had a huge project that I did accomplish yesterday as long as I accomplish something each day I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I like to accomplish stuff It's pretty much life's fault right get up every day and just do stuff And accomplish things so that's why I'm that's where we've been well not always but now I am now I get

All right, so let's look at my overnight RSS feed here See if we have any downloads. Yeah, we're three downloads again So we've been consistently getting two or three downloads. Let's say it's something of course always Ashburn and Manola always welcome them. Thank you for Consistently being here with that with me Canada, Toronto United States Hilton head and then I had another United States mountain joy Pretty exciting. So no yet. Nothing from Europe. Just all US Oh Canada. Obviously

It's not the US although Some people would like to make it the US, but it's not gonna happen Alright, so let's see So YouTube was really climbing, but we talked about it. I think yesterday. I am no longer promoting So we're just gonna let it do its thing now because last month was just so expensive the amount of promoting I did I Just can't afford that anymore so now I just want to see if I mean I made it over, let's see what we're at for the amount of subscribers

46,000 in 14 we've gone up 10,801 in 28 days so that's pretty awesome and I had a couple promotions that are still going on those will end and then those ID hydra's alright so we got a couple comments my revenue is at thirty two dollars and forty four cents so it's a little bit higher. It's 17 views, so if I don't promote, as we said, I go from making a few hundred views to like not even 20 views.

But is this the way it's going to stay? I have to let it just do its thing now. For a while anyway. Alright, so let's check out my two comments I got. Are those? Yes. Yes. I got. Are those? Yes. Yes. I am upgrading. Asking about the laptops, those IDE hard drives. I'm upgrading to IDE to compact flash on these at some point point so I'm gonna find an adapter for

that it's 40 pin that's different than the other one appreciate the detail breakdown I have a quick oh this is that stupid thing again with the phrase go Go away with this. Go away with this. This stupid... Stupid message. Stupid message I get. Some sort of... There's a reason for it, but I don't know what it is I'm not gonna read it again. It's just a message about breaking something down talks about a wallet and goes on about biance and a seed phrase and

I saw one and I didn't know what it was and Then all of a sudden I got a whole bunch of them and now then they disappear so I don't know what that's all about. So let's take a look. So we really only had one comment that almost sold it. I did re-subscribe to a lot of new people yesterday. If I see them but I only get so many that I can subscribe to because if you subscribe to me of course I'm going to subscribe back because you want to try to spread your your account around as much as you can with other people. It helps it grow you know just like

anything else you want to make it keep it keep it growing. The amount of views I get, although it's 742, my shorts are still, I still get a lot of short views but when it comes to actual a little said my duration was a lot higher but that's only an average five minutes and 44 seconds duration which is significant but my average still if I look at my overview is 33 seconds Can we made it past the 45,000 and now I'm going to see and we went again we did 10,800 Subscribers, but that was after lots of promoting last month. So now we're gonna see where it goes from here I am gonna do another life and double shave in a couple days. The summer is officially here now the

June 1st, so we'll do a life and a double shave in a couple days Wait, I'll wait till my hair is growing So I often thought about let my hair grow out and doing a video on that But I really don't want to grow my hair out. It's such a pain So we're just gonna do another life and double shave. So we'll just talk about what's going on with So we're just gonna do another life and double shave. So we'll just talk about what's going on with Beginning of summer and we'll go from there. I do that or I'll do a one-on-one every every few months talking about how YouTube's going but I don't I'm not like the professional talking about YouTube

channels there I Kind of think it's kind of cheating. You're not really you're not really making any sort of content You're just talking about YouTube, but we still do that, but only once in a while So we'll do that one soon not quite. I'll see how far I get in the next month We'll let it go a month here now without zero promoting And I'm gonna go I'm always gonna have some videos like I really want to promote this but I'm not I can't plus I want to see where it goes now with this amount of subscribers if

promoting is not promoting it all will do anything different it should it hope it doesn't but it will alright so let's go to eBay really slow weekend but I didn't really mind it because I had so many things to do. But we might have a couple things here this morning. Let's see, three orders, a message. Let's check the feedback here. Three offers. That's cool. They only had two orders for the whole weekend.

I did have a sale going on it shipped fast and as described Too defective as described very fast shipping exact partial motherboards, yeah, okay, so those are fine I invested this month in boxes all kinds of boxes I need I was low So that's all we have coming in. It's all we can afford And of course you have to have boxes without boxes you can't ship things out and I have specific boxes like longer ones I had

I need a 14 by 12 by 4 that's a big box I also need a 14 by 2 by 4 for long things I get a 12 by 12 by 2 box I have these also extra long 18 by 12 by 4 boxes So all these are like 50 bucks a pop for you and you get like 50 of them or 25 25 for the bigger boxes and then I my main box I use every day Most of times of 6 by 4 by 2 for my little parts. I don't use pattern envelopes Because it just causes problems, but this

seller had a 250 of them at a cheap price so I got those and then I have a 7x3 7x5x3 box So those are all the different boxes I just ordered and that was a few hundred bucks, almost like 300 bucks for all that. So that really... But I break things down into four payments all the time using the Carlin app or whatever it's called.

I always say it wrong, but it's the app where... No, what's it called? Oh, it's... Yeah, it's C-K-I'm sorry, K-L-A-, it's yeah, see K. I'm sorry K L AMA Comma app I always use comma. He's it all the time I just guess it makes it easier when I have a big order or if I order something big like I have those four consoles that I bought on eBay that was a

Almost couple hundred bucks broke it down to four payments and it makes it a lot easier to purchase it. That's the only way I can afford it. I have a couple things now on there that I use. There's no interest either so that helps out. All right let's see what we got from the message here. I just purchased condom 64. Is there any way you can shrink wrap a pack well. I have an issue with UPS. These are such a safest way to do it. We'll do a packing video. I've been doing those a lot lately. Great. Great. These are such long items of ship. They have to real pain to ship those.

Alright, so we got a couple of offers here. Oh, $10. Oh, we did that. We did that. Super Nintendo. Ten dollars. No, no. This is the anomaly I talk about all the time. So, I have something for fifteen dollars and a buyer is going to best offer me $10. Yet the message that the buyer leaves is this, I would appreciate if you could send

me send one in the best condition you have. You have the ones you have, thanks. So this is the anomaly. You're going to offer me less money, but you're gonna ask me for the best I have. That makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm like uh... sorry. Not taking a low offer. This always gets me in trouble I don't care offer but at the same time you want the best one I have makes no sense no sense these things bother me decline that offer ten bucks is really matter I'm not really gonna sleep over it so if you if you the way to do this is for the extra five dollars you pay the listed price and I think there's actually a little five percent discount as a as a thing right now.

So you purchase one of those at the $15 and then you just contact me directly and say hey can you give me the best you have? And I would be like oh yeah sure let me find one and then I would be like I'll even show you the exact one I that I can find and you can decide whether it's good enough for you or not if it's not then we'll just Delete the cancel the order, but if you're gonna do it the way he did it. It's not gonna happen. That's a heck no I'm not gonna happen. That's a heck no. I'm not gonna... it just makes no sense to me. I don't know of any store that you can go into where there's a discount and you're gonna get the best one. Is there a place like... usually when you go to a discount section it's usually

all the broken stuff, all the beat up stuff. So I don't know. But I'm just, to me I call that an anomaly. It happens once in a while with buyers and it usually never ends well because I don't react too well with it. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not gonna, plus what we're talking about, I mean if we had an item that's say in the hundreds, say it's $100 for a listed new Only 75

Wouldn't really have anything that would be a pick for that would be just one item But if I did then you'd be like well Can I get the better one for I might do it then but if we're talking? $15 listing and you're trying to knock it down to 10 and it's gonna cost me 8 to ship it then heck no I'm not gonna I'm not just gonna do it at all anyway and I'm definitely not gonna ship you the best one I have. So this is a daily grind of selling on eBay. It's tough.

Alright so I see the Commodore 64 so we're looking at the 2 to 3 orders I have. It's really long I don't even think it fits in that 18 box. I Think it does though But we'll look at later when we sell the Sega Dreamcast motherboard the vo I had two of those And we sold a greenish jumper pack Cover so ones for the What is it for oh

It's for the the Japan green transit, but it turns brown The green turns into a brownish color over time. So that's what those are So those are my three orders plus I have two other orders my five orders I declined all the three orders that were best offered this morning. All of them were as I call half hacks. So anyone with a half hack I just...oh there's one more though $16. What's that? That one I might do. Oh yeah, I'll do the front panel for the Detender Wii U, I'll take that. So half hacks are usually anybody that just makes, you know, whatever listing you have they offer half off, which I'm not having half off sale.

So that's a heck no. And normally it's just people just do that for one time and I never hear it from again. So, and again that's why I don't do any sort of counters because it's just not wasted. It's not, it's not wasting my time or the buyer's time. Definitely not my time. And most of them are just half hacks anyway. So, once they're, once they do their thing, I decline and I don't, I don't have to deal with them again. And, so countering is just a waste of time. Plus it's a pretty basic concept if you offer me something really low

if I don't like it I decline it and you can keep offering you have five shots at it but most people don't come back so you have to be consistent if you're interested in buying something but if you're only interested at one certain price and then that's it that's one thing you that's why I don't counter and of course for me when I'm a buyer I act the same way as a buyer I don't do half off though what I'll do I'll try to get you know some percentage off if I can knowing that but not normally but most of the time if it's something I'm trying to purchase it's a high item you know in

the hundreds trying to knock off 50 bucks or something not something that's $15 that I'm trying to take $5 off so it's big difference there huge difference because again as we say, I can only make a couple bucks. The eight dollars is gone, plus I just had to buy a whole bunch of boxes. Alright, so that's my little, although I do lots of stuff talking about gaming, it's more about eBay selling as well, so. They kind of go hand in hand, but I think it's just it's just selling in general for anybody that's out there doing it

It's it's it's tough All right, so that's pretty much it this morning everyone that comes in Appreciate it and We'll do some videos later on and 64. I'm gonna do a packing of that long I'll show you the C64. Is it really long? It's just the bottom case. It's light.

It's not a big deal. It's just the size of it to get a box that fits it. I think I have the box that will fit it. I don't remember. But we'll figure it out. Alright. So you guys have a good afternoon and I will talk to you later. Alright.

Bye.
