Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Monday 7-14-2025

Episode Date: July 14, 2025

I all my Amazon Prime Goodies up and Running with Mixed reviews overall but all worth it at the discount sale price.

Good morning everyone. It is now 628. Today is Monday, July 14th, 2025. And we're of course going into another hot and muggy few days. We'll pretty much rest this month and pretty much all the way until September. Be hot and muggy. So yesterday we worked on my, I set up my Amazon TV. Very disappointed in the extra screen quality of it, but I wasn't really expecting much for 4k. I thought it

would be a little bit better, but it's just, it seems like just same quality as a 1080 DP. But it's Amazon and I set up my Luna controller. Yesterday as well I had to do that with the phone. So I guess Luna, in order to play Luna, if you don't have a controller, you have to use your phone as a controller. You set it up that way. So that's something new I didn't know. I was always wondering, well how do I play Luna

without a controller? So that's what you do. You turn your phone into a controller, of course, if you use your phone for everything you should have known that and the selection on lunar is very very very minimal at best so I do have a free prescription I subscription but I probably won't keep it because it's the only games I already have or had but it was cool to check it out. Same with the controller. I like the controller But we'll see if we keep it or not. I may just resell it at some point, but for now we'll keep it

It was fairly cheap, but still pricing on Prime video. I'm not primed you are for prime sale there, so I got it But I wanted to check it out so now I could say I've had one and understand what it's about I know what Luna is. It's another cloud gaming. The games actually loaded really quickly. So then it was where you could get some other alternative games which you had to pay for.

I did check that out through GOG. I think it's it's called. But two of the games are really cheap, a few bucks. I did order them, but I'm not able to download them. And I can't play them on Luna because there needs to be keyboard or mouse for the Siberia 1 and 2. Siberia is the world one I can do though. So... So, mixed reviews on all the stuff I did yesterday, pretty much.

But, it was still fun to learn.. The only way you can know about something is to actually get it and learn about it. So that's what I try to do. It's something that's kind of game related. Alright, so. Ooh, Fallout. Universal Studios. R-Night's Fallout. That's one of my favorite series, Fallout. It was on Prime. Big fan. I'm looking forward to another season of that. Football season is coming, so I am going to keep my new Amazon TV, Fire TV, right here in my room. It's too small for my mother, and the quality isn't any better than what she already has. She's got an older Sony Bravio that's much better than this one.

Sound is better too. We're just going to keep this one here. But it's just what I need for where my space is and I can do everything through the TV as opposed to having another cube or fire stick or something. It kind of worked out the way I wanted it to anyway. Wish it was a little bit better. I haven't tried it through my PlayStation 5 yet for Death Stranding, which we're going to do maybe today or tomorrow. I haven't really been into playing it. I've got as far as the beginning of Australia, not as far as I've got. Again, it's not going anywhere. It's like movies. I'll watch them sometimes. I've watched half of The Sinners Which I did a poll on that and other people agree with me that if you ever seen Dusk Till Dawn

The Sinners, although it's a completely different movie, has the same type of a build-up where you don't expect and all of a sudden something else happens. So if you've Dus Dustal Dawn and The Sinners to me, they're kind of the same in some way. But I like The Sinners, I like the music and all that stuff about the history and all that, so it's pretty cool. But it's kind of the same build up, just a crazy build up. I haven't watched the other half of it, I've only watched an hour.

We'll see if the ending ends similar to Dustal Dawn. So we'll find out. So I've been doing polls now because I can't post videos on community anymore. All I can do is text or pictures. I don't want to do pictures, so I decided to do polls. I'm always doing something, so there's always something I can poll.

It's very fun. All right, so I don't see anything in the news. Just see we had a no-sale day on eBay. Which was fine because I sold a bunch of stuff. Etsy, we sold a few things on Etsy here and there, so that's pretty cool. I made a few bucks there. Let's see if we have any feedback. Just going to ask good feedback. A couple issues a couple days ago

that I resolved, best I could. One was, well they were both international. One was a return that eBay just automatically gives them the refund I know I sent it working. So he had some other weird issue this system So that ended and then I got feedback it's positive but it's it mentions

an issue with the order I didn't have an order issue So I got 1045 followers here on Poshmark no sales Just check No, I've had one offer So that seems like it's just a place to put stuff, just to put stuff, get some followers. I don't know what they do when they follow you.

That's pretty interesting. Makari's next on my list. I just have, I have to do, I have to list those one for one. So we'll have to figure out how I'm gonna do that. But I did verify I needed to do McCorry I had to put of course like anything else you gotta have an app you got to do the app through your phone app and then you had to verify your face and your your license to be turned on to sell on McCorry I did Okay, so now we're looking at RS speed RSS calm

Do I have any download just I think I've won download Today or yesterday 73% 73 in the last 30 days, so it's been cool Let's see we got apex if there are a few downloads of Apex, Ashburn, always around, Denmark, pretty cool. So just a few dots on the world map, it's a world flat map. You can see all the countries, and then little dots will show up, people that have downloaded. That's pretty cool. And overview episodes, oh it actually shows episodes. Oh, download.

So it shows my episodes. I didn't know I could do that. Oh, that's pretty cool. Oh, comparison. Is it comparison here? Reviews. Any reviews? Overviews.

Oh, interesting stuff. All right. Let's go on to YouTube. We are now putting the brakes on any further promotions. Because I've hit my goal, and it's one of those things that I've talked about before. I have now have 50,858 subscribers, which is awesome. So I could just, I could have another 50,000 after that and it still really doesn't affect my revenue. $33.38, about a buck.

Probably actually the highest it's been, so. My impressions, I did a bunch of videos, promoted stuff yesterday, 19 views, testing and tearing down a Nintendo Wii, I did that yesterday. I had two Wiis, the US, those are 8 gigabytes. So remember, a white Wii U in Japan is 32 gigabytes. So we pulled those boards yesterday, tested them, pulled those. I had that twice. I did that twice. Testing and tearing down. So we got rid of that.

Let's put that as the main thing right now. And then later on we will do, I don't know what we're going to go to yet. All my goodies I did out of the way. And then we're going to go on to something else. We'll see what eBay brings me, if I have any eBay orders. If not, we need to really get to Sega Saturn. It's like top of the list. Somebody actually asked me about, do you have any Sega Saturn boards?

So, definitely got to get to that. All right, so let's look at eBay and see what's going on. I got to start a new sale, I believe, too. So let's look at the events, see what's going on. I got a starting sale I believe too. I believe my sale's ended. So I'm worried about a couple things. Any resting, occurring? So that is always a stock photo when you see multi-listed. People assume that the stock, the name photo is the one they're getting. It's not true. If it's, I would tell them it would be, I would say this is the exact one.

T.listing. You see a multi-isting. CA multilisting. Got a little thing in between that. OK. Says multilisting. There's always a stop in between the multilisting. I can show you a exact one that would

For any purchase They don't ask first Sometimes like I said, I just had that whole thing going on with that motherboard that had an extra exact board model that I didn't realize when I first listed it. Now I have it right. Then I didn't. So he's asking about that. See, feedback as described, product.

So let's see what we got so I sold a bunch of games and I'm kind of worried about them as described effective donor motherboard I already got that so that's pretty cool fan our guys described problem with the order it was no problem. Other than he doing the return. So I have two, two, two sales. One's a, oh, one of my Tuscany. So now we're talking original Xbox 0405. It's the 1.6 motherboard and there's a Delta D That's very important that part there and then there's a Tuscany those are for the Only for the 1.6. There's a Delta B, but that's only for the 1.3 or 1.4 So but I'm not selling those are selling the Tuscan's and They look the connection everything everything looks exactly the same,

between the 1.3 and 4 and then the 1.6. However, one will not work on the other. You can even plug the plug in perfectly. But if you didn't know that, which I didn't know way in the beginning a few years ago, so when I first started selling those, I didn't know way in the beginning a few years ago. So when I first started selling those, I didn't know that. It's one of the things I learned along the way. And then someone said, hey, this doesn't work. I know I tested it working.

When I got it back, I put it back in there and it worked. I looked at what's going on, and I realized that there's a different motherboard. I didn't know that then. So I learned lots of stuff along the way. Lots of times I learned things from mistakes. But luckily, I only needed to have a mistake once and then it doesn't happen again. Alright so we got let's check my sales here so I just got two of that and then I have

a bottom cover for bottom lid cover for the Japan Famicom so just those two orders. Been quiet the last couple days. However, I had a good little run so I'm pretty good right now. But we don't want to get slow for too long. So we'll of course put, I think my sale ended, which makes a significant difference. I'm not going to do as much as I did last time, but we'll still put some stuff Okay, so Let's look over See if my sale it's why the marketing I don't do any sales Promotions through eBay because they of course they want to charge you for that and they can do that's free is a discount

Oh, no, it's still going on. I got an extra 20% off Coupon still active July 14th, so that'll go on to today. What about the sale sale event? Active July 14. Oh, July 14th. Oh no, so we're still up both my sales. Just been quiet. Almost like 30-some percent off. But I'll get another day on that. Okay, cool.

Alright, I'm going to put them up to another second. I know I kept that for a nice long stretch. Just nobody really buying right now. And then we're're gonna put some more Wii U stuff that I took apart and then we'll again this whole week we're gonna really I think I've got my listings up to now on eBay I am at um over a thousand and out one thousand one hundred and ten significantly I'm gonna keep increasing that at some point I'd like to get about two thousand items on eBay. Really really ratchet

up. The more stuff you have and different priorities stuff the more chance you have to sell it. I'm still kind of interested in doing some dropshipping, adding to my eBay store. Drop shipping being you're paying a service somewhere where you put a company's listing on your store. It sells. That money goes to them. You make a little bit of a cut from it. And then they do all the shipping and handling.

Called drop shipping. Everybody's not familiar with that. Problem is, for me, when I do an order, it's automatically going out first day. Drop shippers, I wouldn't know when they ship their stuff. And the profit is very small, maybe $5, $10. But then it's pretty much all I make per order anyway, on what I have.

But I haven't found one where I can put a whole bunch of stuff up. From my eBay store, I have unlimited listings and amount. So I could put $100,000 worth of dropshipping stuff on my store. Just let it run and see what happens. Other than just having to be scheming stuff. And technically you can set it up as auto so as things get purchased it automatically

does it. And you're just kind of sitting back taking the little profit you get. But there's downsides to the fact that I wouldn't know when it gets shipped. Any sort of issue, I would have to resolve it, I guess. I don't know if it means I would take back the product, because maybe it's coming from that company's warehouse. So the order comes in, it automatically transfers to them, they get paid, they ship it. But then if there's an issue, how does it return?

Or does it go back to me or them? I don't know that. Then you have to deal with the whole problem of it being shipped. So it goes against, not against, but it goes, it's not the same as what I do, but I can really add a lot more stuff. But it's expensive though to add, obviously if you want to do thousands, it's really expensive. You got to pay a subscription, of course, and the higher amount of things you want to list, the more the subscription is. it's paying off and so it's worth it. So it may be the next idea I do but I just haven't I can survive where I'm at now so I haven't done

that but this would give me a little more boost I believe but then you have to pick the right items to the list to put on your store. I like to try to keep the game related. Every place pretty much has drop shipping offer like ally express. See that's coming from China so that would be really risky to do something like that. But I can get a lot of gaming parts directly from them that I don't have. directly from them that I don't have. It's a gamble. Or I can just keep my store as it is. I can survive on what I got. That and my little Etsy store.

But we're gonna add a Macari too. Of my own, same thing. So let's see where we're at now. So that's where we're working on new ideas. Always coming up with some new stuff and then we're gonna really keep putting more stuff on you today. Sega Saturn and PS2 Slim. I keep talking about them and that's where I need to do a mass amount of stuff. We've already been, but I'm doing it really quicker now so that I can do them fast, get listings up. Once they're up

then you get a conversation piece going. So even if I have one or two different Sega Saturn motherboards listed, then people will ask for others. You know what I mean? Right now I don't have any. So because I don't... Someone did ask about motherboards and I replied to them and then I never heard back. Just often common, too. So usually if someone leaves me a message I always reply back. And then if you never reply back to my message, I don't bother going any further. Because it's usually just a one message, one hit wonder kind of deal.

They either get the answer they want or they just, I don't know, disappear. I don't know what to do. But I don't go further, investigate that one message. I just forget about it. Because the other side's forgot about it. So, kind of what you have to do. Because not, you know, chasing people around for messages, then it really gets you nowhere. It comes with people who are interested in different stuff.

Talking about buying something, but never really buying it. So, usually after two or three messages of that, I'm like, alright. So, if you really want it, buy it. and then I'll do whatever it is you're asking for after but not I'm good That's kind of how you have to be all right, so that's it for this morning everyone I will talk to you tomorrow and enjoy the or try to

I will talk to you tomorrow and enjoy the or try to deal with your work week as it comes because today is Monday so You're going to work week. There's no holidays. There's nothing fun coming up except hot weather Alright, I'll talk to you later. Bye
