Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Saturday 2/8/2025

Episode Date: February 8, 2025

I have a Major Etsy Issue this Morning. I also have a eBay Buyer did not read detailed listing Title issue as well.

Good morning everyone. Today it is 6.02 in the morning. It's 2.6, no 2.8. We're on the 8th now of February. Of course these months go by pretty fast. We have a little snow going. Might be the most snow we've had in a few years. Six inches, which is not really that big, but for us here in Rhode Island we've had a a few years six inches which is not really that big but for us here in rhode island we've had a snow drought for three or four i forget how many inches to say we're down in the last few years really bad which is fine i really don't like shoveling a lot of snow six inches is fine i don't want anything more than that and hopefully it won't be all wet and and heavy so we got that I think it starts tonight, and then we're going into a little February pattern

of more snow next week too. So it will be snowy for a little while, which they said in February we would be. So we'll see how much snow we get as we go along here. Just get through February, and then we can look forward to talking about spring, March, and Aprilil all that although april's coming quick and i'll be 57 this year yeah 57 that's the guy they come way home by fast wow i've lived many lifetimes since in 57 years uh pretty interesting stuff so um yesterday i worked on my oh my monitor came in so that had a little

bit of a damage to it uh worked it out with the seller uh got a few bucks off of it and it still works so and i try to be as fair uh as i want to be as any buy would be for me. So I was really easy working with him. Worked it out. Did some videos showing a little bit of damage. Not too bad. He had it super packed. There was no way that anyone could have packed that any better than he did. So it was just the fact that it's a long shipment.

It's a crap shoot shipping one of those monitors. I'll never do it again. I had a disaster when I tried to ship something like that those monitors i'll never do it again i had a disaster when i tried to ship something like that and i'll never do it again but i'll always buy i mean i always buy i buy once in a while so after that uh my ibm 5150 does not work however uh later in the day i sat with my buddy zippy and we talked about about pulling all the chips off because all the banks, this has bank 0 through bank 3

on this motherboard for the 5150 and I found out it's a newer version because the first bank, bank 0 is all soldered chips and it has two DIP dip switches, two separate dip switches so thank God with

Zippy I can learn how to set what switch all the banks from one to three were full so we I pulled them all out you can't pull bank zero because it's soldered but I pulled all the rest of them out other than the ram chips and we're thinking that my my boot up issue is probably a bad chip or something like that so we're going to start with just bank zero and today i'm going to reboot it i'm going to change the dip switches on it to correlate to the only having 64 kilobytes in it and then we'll try it from there so and then what we'll do is we'll re-add banks back on and maybe come across a chip that doesn't work uh i don't care how much ram it has i'm not really using it for anything

but it would be fun to put it all back on and get it all to work but first i have to get it to work well i think it's hopefully it's just ram related uh so the first time i've ever pulled ram chips off of any sort of a board and i learned about the different kinds of chips that are on there uh i have a tandy sx but has a newer version of a chip as opposed to the 5150 because that would be the original ones so so we learned a lot today real fun I mean yesterday rather and then I was playing around with all today but oh I did some Sega little Sega CD uh guy needed a magnet for the top cover so I learned how to pull all the pieces off of that uh a sega cd and i pulled i figured out how to get the magnet out so i was able to do that so that's cool all right so let's check out the news this morning

all right let's see what we got going on here physics i'm just checking the quick early news this morning see if i see anything overnight lots of government stuff going on interesting that's a that's really affects me, so I just kind of, it's going to happen what's going to happen, kind of thing. I have no real opinion about it either way. If it's some way down the line it helps

me out, it would be great. If not, not too good. Alright, so I don't see anything there. Let's go on to Etsy. I had a few orders in Etsy. Oh, I had a message here. I'm pretty sure I know what this message is on Etsy, but we'll see. So I'm a little bummed I received the order today.

Oops, somebody couldn't actually because I didn't have a... I kind of paid much. Oh, so I have an issue now with... I received the Orte when I opened it in Zelda 4 games. It would... No. No. Not at all so now I have an issue here with this I feel about I have a feeling about this. I had no access to any. Count.

I just. Turned it on. And played the game. Everything. Everything. In that video is exactly as you got it. This was the main reason for doing that extra step. No, not at all. So it's just me. Okay. I do everything. Ship that exactly as I and detailed as possible. Nothing was other than as I showed you in the video. So, anything you can do for an extra step I don't know

it says hey I'm a little bummed I received my order today and when I tried to open the four swords it said it couldn't access the game because I did not have access to a Nintendo account which is not true at all it couldn't access the game because I did not have access to a Nintendo account, which is not true at all. I didn't do anything. It wasn't

allowed and it had me close the game. Now there's a blue X on it and it won't open up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I read your message again. Nothing you your message again nothing you said makes any sense at all so is he gonna get returned or I'll get a bad feedback but I have the video I'm going to put the video on to it so let's go to so kind of ruins the morning here god darn it all oops rss.com let's check my rss feed I'm going to put the link to it, that's why I did that video

specifically so this is one of those things where they're going to say I did something that I know I didn't do and that's why I even did the video because I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing and doing the same thing I had one downloads alright so let's go to YouTube here so

again my demeanor will change now that I have someone telling me other than what I know I did so it always gets me into trouble so So I have 17,382 subscribers. Pretty fun. You have an enormous amount of big PCPs. Yeah. I'm working surface. Amazing. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yes. I got. I got these. As a. As a. Lot. Local.

Decided. Decided. Decided. To make a. Decided to use them. So my boards that are on my desktop. Put them as my desktop. All right, so let's go back to the video here. I don't know. For any reason, I don't know, I'm just aggravated all of a sudden. Where did I do that video now?

Where did I do that video now? Where did I put it? Oh no, that's not it. Oh, I think it was a longer video. It was a longer video. It wasn't just a short. I did it for like nine minutes. Yeah, yeah. I did it for nine minutes. All I did was take the video. There it is right here.

And then. I. Gave. Sent the video. I wonder what this is about. Once you ordered it, then I put it in the box to ship or should have came exactly as I shipped it. This is a video I made

just for you the other day. Once you ordered it, then I put it in a box and shipped it all. It should have came exactly then I put it in a box and shipped it all should have came exactly as I shipped it I do not understand

what you're saying at all. I do not even have a Nintendo account Extra steps, I don't know there's no extra steps that I know So send the video and then we'll go from there. Alright, so that kind of roads been more a little bit guys, but Extra steps. I don't know. There's no extra steps that I know of. So I'll send them a video. And then we'll go from there. Alright. So that kind of ruins my morning a little bit guys.

But sometimes it's just. Things happen. But I don't like when it's something. Where they said I did something different. Than I didn't. And I also have the video show. What does he think? As soon as I got done with the video.

I put a Nintendo account on it or something? I don't know. I don't quite understand that. Not so sure. But we'll see what happens. All right. So, let's see. We're going to go on to eBay. Let's see what's going on here.

A couple things going on eBay let's see that's offers anybody else more problems arrived 8th February perfect well back alright so see we got some good feedback on this side we're on eBay now so I got some good stuff i like good feedback um hope to deal with you again great seller good product damn the seller has it down to the shipping super duper fast item as described a plus all around uh for uh all the all the buttons for the uh sega model 3 arrived 8th ofth of February perfectly well packed. Oh, the Heavy Sixer

that I shipped for another one. Thank you, Mark. So that's all good. I don't really like good positive stuff. I don't like anything that is negative. Unless it's something specifically

$10. $10. Superfinger, yeah, I can do that. That's fine. I got lots of those. So we'll do that. Okay. Just your average Joe. I think I've seen

I've had him before sounds familiar okay I know we have another message that sounds like it's an issue double issues this morning I heard just read it

I just I barely noticed barely noticed that description is O but I really wanted the 1o board yeah I can only ship what I Sorry if you misread the listing. You should have asked me directly. First. About a special. I only ship what I have.

I pull and ship as ordered. I do not even have a 01 anymore. Sorry if you misread the listing. You should have asked me first. Asked me directly first about a special, about a, not special, not really special, about an exact board you wanted. I would have canceled the order right then, Wanted to Avoid All Any Issues Like now

Can I only ship what I have I pull I pull and ship as ordered I don't even have any please do not return well Please do not return I had the options right in the main title, showing one of the three would be shipped at random. Random. I am unsure.

This always gets me in trouble, but I don't care. I am unsure how much more detailed I could have been. So, something else went back. Would you consider $10? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fine. That's fine. I have a few of these. A few of these. A few of these.

So I got two different issues this morning. So worried about that too. I have a few. That's fine. I have a few of these. I wonder what happened. Now it's making me curious about the thing on Etsy here. What did he do

that's different than when I shipped it to try to get something back? That's the only thing I can think of. I don't know. I don't understand it. What would have happened different than when I videoed it to when he got it and now he's saying there's an X on it. I don't understand

any of that. Did you, I don't know if I signed down, I didn't know I didn't update it. Did you? I don't know. Not really sure what happened. I don't know. So kind of a bummer. But so that's my morning. couple little issues to two issues one on eBay one at sea and always starts my morning off on a sour new so we'll go from there sure we'll talk about the issue and I have three orders also so that's cool a couple orders oh i found out yesterday my toshiba sx had a cool hard drive in it like a micro hard drive so that's pretty neat all right so i got some orders for um

um ps2 fat An order for a GameCube port. And now an order for SuperFanCom. The clear tip cover. No, the port cable. Ribbon cable.

So I got those three things this morning. Cool. All right, so we'll get those all up. Those are pretty easy peasy. All right, so you guys have a good afternoon and probably see if maybe I can come up with something to do for later on in the day. But now I got some stuff to deal with, so.

It's the life of selling on eBay or just selling gaming parts in general. Everything that I shipped should have been the way it was, although now I've got one buyer that's saying he wanted a different one of the three that I was saying I was going to ship, and then I got the other one saying that I did something. I didn't do anything. All I did was put it in the box and ship it after I updated it.

All right, so I'll talk to you guys later. All right, bye.
