Episode Date: May 17, 2025

I Finally got to see Twisters on Prime Video Last Night. It was Awesome!

Good morning everyone. It is now 6 o 2 taste Saturday is 5 May 17 2025 so yesterday I Spent my day outside. It was really nice out cool Perfect weather to finally clean out my bottom room Took me another two hours or so to get all that stuff my bottom room took me another two hours or so to get all that stuff centralized into my carport my gazebo where now I have a 16 foot by 16 foot gazebo full of mass recycle stuff I have a couple of little sheds and I need to put some

stuff in there and then we'll at least we'll have it all finally centralized Took me a long time to get to that point so covered And it's just gonna stay there now until I can figure out some pay somebody at some point To get it all out of there, but it's just metal and plastic So I finally got it said took me years to get that centralized into that spot Luckily, I decided to use that space We used to say as a cool, because even we said my TV in there and everything but now it's just for storage

And it's just for recycle storage now, but I had to get rid of it so I can clean out all my other rooms So now the room that I down bottom I got to work on a couple little leaks I have And then we're gonna really get that room cleaned up next So now the room that I down bottom I got to work on a couple little leaks I have And then we're gonna really get that room cleaned up next I'm gonna stay in the whole floor and and whatnot just like I did the other room And then we'll get somewhere we're getting there a little bit like I gotta get these things straightened out Because my time is short. I don't know how much time I have. Hopefully have a long time. I hope I have many many years but sometimes I worry that maybe I don't and

Something would happen and I couldn't afford to live here I'd have to sell so I gotta clean things up the best I can and then figure out but the way prices are going now You sell what you have and then there's really nowhere else you can go even rents more than what we pay here All right, so let's see what's going on this morning. Yes. Well, we've got lots of life-changing things going on Hearing a lot of good good vibes about the new Death Stranding 2. I guess when they're originally came out it wasn't too Received too well, but the costume we know it's one of the best games ever made if you're really into that on your own kind of game So I always want to play it again But then I I did try it a couple times and I never could get back into it again

Wait for the second one to come out Very excited about that. I talked about that all the time that and Subnautica That looks pretty cool, too. That's a fun underwater adventure Unlike anything else that I tried to find other games like that. There's nothing like it. No man's sky. It's pretty cool Xbox is raising the prices To be impossible to sell Definitely not any kind of Xbox at all just out of their old junk I'll see what the Xbox Prime brings in place basically say it'll play

the same games and now they games are on both systems so although I'm not sure if some nautical is coming out on PlayStation it's as far as I know I don't think it is right away so I'll have to think about that. I Like to I like the s though the series s I should say I'm not the 1681 s or The x 1787 is pretty cool. We'll see that's what I want to do. All right, so let's look at Etsy

So I didn't do any videos yesterday We had an order issue on Etsy actually. I left a reply about that. Let's see what orders I do have an order Purple buttons and power buttons So we'll do that pretty easy pieces. I only get a few orders here on Etsy I gotta run a new sale on on eBay so we'll do that today for the weekend I'm gonna do weekend sales a little bit more then during the week I think I haven't decided yet all right let's look at my RSS feed I don't know if I've That any downloads in the last couple days Consistently try to keep them going I

Did stop pod being I did one episode on there, but it was really hard to set it up prep, so We're on here on our RSS calm It's pretty basically quick to eat to figure out what's going on to load it so I had two downloads yesterday I'm at 549 all time very exciting let's see we got Okula Manola oh another one Russia Moscow Quantar Doha pretty awesome I love I love one across the world like seeing the red dots. They get a flat map And on that flat map is the red dots that I could see where the

All of the Downloads I'd fall from an order for from Okla two from Brooklyn one from Moscow and as always say it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean Wherever it may land so it's pretty cool. I Consistently do my early morning one. I Will get into some other Systems bring back my buddy zippy although I did unsubscribe from just a shit to save a little bit of money I had too many things to subscribe and I had to get rid of I don't really use them right now

summertime, so All right. So let's go over to YouTube. Oh YouTube we went to That's clear focus on cop clear focus on combat Not really a big combat fan, but looks like we're gonna combat on Death Stranding 2 oh I did get the big fan of I just started replaying that what was that game I just got I can't think of right now oh Sinking City I got the remaster for 20 bucks pretty cool cool. I'm a big fan. Definitely cleaner looking now. Alright, so let's go to...oh, YouTube. See what we got going on here this morning. We were slowly climbing on I only could have been promoting Just a little promote so I did uh

my warning feedback Is the one that got the most views? Fortunately, I kind of egged that guy on a little bit and then he gave me another Another feedback that was kind of vulgar. I wasn't a fan of that one. I won't talk about that one First one was funny and I was kind of alright. And I think I just egged the guy on and now he evened out. So I did an outside bird viewing while I was doing my master cycle. So I put the, I let the birds run. I zoomed in on the camera yesterday for a couple hours. It's going gonna be about two hours. So I was outside, I was running a two hour video

for my buddy, my birds. They have a nest out there. So I let that run for a couple hours. I was gonna, and I kept it nice and zoomed in, so I had a few views. I'm not gonna promote that one, just something fun. Master Cycle, so that's the only video I did yesterday I'm not gonna promote that one just something fun Master cycle So that's the only video I did yesterday because I was outside

Now I got to work on some leaks and things. I need to try to clean up So we'll probably go back outside again today, so we're at thirty eight thousand 186 subscribers, so I made it thirty eight thousand which is pretty cool. I'm still growing which is awesome My view hours are eighty five point nine K Watch hours are a lot lower six hundred and thirteen point two and of course my revenue is only at twenty dollars and forty three cents so Yeah, I've pretty much given up on thinking I could ever make money here on YouTube in 43 cents so I Yeah, I've pretty much given up on thinking I could ever make money here on YouTube

But we do it consistently anyway, I thought at some point something would break and it would even if I got a hundred dollars A month I'd be happy I would think I could that would help me pay for some other stuff but Four months in this month's really been low because I've been outside a lot All right, so let's go right on to eBay because that's where all my the action. This is where my day Goes let's see where it takes me Only had a few download a few just a few things going on. Let's see feedback. Let's check feedback first.

One order. Great seller. Hinge and cover, spring only. Received fast and at a very fair price. Xbox 360 double heatsink sets. Then I have the Nintendo Wii game controller batteries. They contacted me and said they didn't hold that long yet They left me a good feedback. So that's great seller battery life is excellent highly recommended

Great seller and item tins bottom screws except for the ps2 fat It's all easy peasy ship sale stuff. Oh We had that one order where is it?'s see so I got my first purchase of Gaming system parts lot just a little small one I couldn't I can't really afford much But I was able to get one and I break it into payments I Do the four payments I don't get it so it's still and So it's still... And so it's gonna be one N64, one GameCube,

and one Super Nintendo, plus a Wii U console, and a DS. So, be exciting to get those. They don't work, one of four diaries, at least they say they don't work, but doesn't necessarily mean they don't. N64, so, all that, I haven't had any systems at all and so long I Going into Vintage computing for a very long time now

But now I'm finally out of that been there done that now so now I'm gonna double back to systems I save up some money every few months We can get some systems $45 what's that a couple orders here? Oh, I would take that. Yeah To power button boards. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'll take that that's for the Xbox 360 the halo 3 I sold parts off of that it's really hard to find in the front panel I sold that pretty fast for a lot because it's just it's worth more and also I sold a couple of things off of them no I think those are and now I just saw the buttons off of it. Oh

Such a pain there take those things apart Yeah, I guess I'll do that do a couple for the weekend I have to pull another PSP apart Now I'm gonna wait on that. I don't like pulling a PSP apart. I'll wait on that one. I sold one thing so I'm happy with that. I have two orders, what else do we have? Nine dollars, I don't do anything for nine dollars anymore. I just can't do it. Seems like you could but I'm just not gonna do it.

you could but I just not gonna do it it's not worth it I can't do anything man I know it cost me eight dollars to ship it I can't sell something for nine dollars right that means that leaves me a dollar I work too hard for dollar I gotta get I really need to get five dollars per order. I don't ever usually get that, but unless I sell something bigger. Like today I sell something bigger so then that helps me out. But normally on a daily basis all my orders are really little guys and therefore I only make a few bucks per order. Let's see if my sale ended. Let's look at my sale discounts. So I do discounts that don't eBay charges you otherwise if you do sales to them. Ah, sale event. It ended. I think it did. Oh, you didn't.

See if I see, yeah, that did end. Okay, so we'll delete that and we'll start a new sale event today. All right, so let's do that. We'll go on, we'll still do a sale event. I do these now often. They really help me out so we're gonna do 30% today but we're only gonna do it for two days so we're gonna start now and we're going to go 517 we'll go to Monday. 30%.

But then you can change the, I have to rule base it. I don't want anything under 20, 20 dollars now. Apply. That gets me 473 items. I'll do 30% off. For two days Pretty much It's 30% off

Anything under 20 We'll do 18 again Can't do anything lower than that because what happens is yeah, I'll do an 18 If I do all my little guys 30% off of $13 It's my minimum so that gets me below $9 and then I don't only make a dollar again, so Doesn't it doesn't work even you do even doing 30% of $18 a lot, but we'll let that one go So we'll do that for a couple days, and then we'll do another sale event.

See if we can muster up a little bit. Cause I'm always basically, I live for each sale on eBay. I'm never really ahead at all at any point, and if I do, I have a little extra cash. I'm gonna start investing in more systems I have a Kodoki lot that I'm working on it's still a forbid see how that one goes and I wanted to get a PS4 so I need a power supply and of course I'm not gonna go out and buy a power supply. I would rather

Buy a whole system with a power supply and I don't buy parts Because it makes no sense. Well, I buy just one part I get the whole thing a little bit more expensive upfront Invest as I call it and then I take what I need and then I resell all the rest of it And I make my money back and then I'll usually I make a profit. That's seen basic eBay 101 right, so On though I sell parts, but I would never myself buy a part Once a while I have to if something specific I can't find it anywhere. But I'll usually up front the whole system. It just makes more sense.

Alright cool so we had... So yeah, so eBay only had a couple orders but one was a bigger order. I'm gonna move to heck I put that now. It's the Halo 3 Xbox, I'm sorry yeah, yeah Xbox 360, Halo 3, they I'm not sorry. Yeah Yeah, Xbox 360 Halo 3 to the best-looking set of the green one and I had a complete one and I couldn't sell it whole so I decided to finally tear it down and do videos and I sold

The front panel for a good amount and then I just sold The buttons which is the eject button But they were just super hard to find so I guess if you really want it That's what you have to do or you could do it like I would do I would look for a halo 3 complete and Then upfront invest in it Take what I need as always and then knowing that the rest of it will sell. And then use that to make my money back. Right?

Doesn't that make sense? To me, it does. So I do everything. But lots of people just want to buy a part and call it a day and be done. So I try to have as many parts as I can and as low as I can without not making any without I Gotta make at least five bucks, but normally I make two dollars per order

But I just sold something bigger so that gives me a That kind of averages out more per sale that way once in a while if I sell something bigger Oh, I sold yesterday I sold Oscar Atari Oscar something Oscar the trash can it was it had its own Game pad like an overlay and then the game put that that gamepad overlay also does other And then the game put that that game pad overlay also does other Sesame Street games for Atari So I sold that yesterday for a little bit more so that helped me out

And that went international actually So and of course it shipped right out put in the box and it was going mailman picked up yesterday and it was gone So today's Saturday, so technically in town the main post office closes at 12. And then we have another post office, a smaller one that will stay open until 1. But then that's it. But luckily for me here, my mailman doesn't come to get mail usually not until 3 o'clock. So I'm able to keep pushing items out if I get them all the way until three o'clock on a Saturday So that's why you want me as your your seller Because I'll keep pushing things out if I see them and it's something I can get and grab and get in the box mailbox

Up until the mailman comes then usually he comes once he drives his truck by because although I'm on a house route Basically probably sell more stuff than most businesses in town So he comes by picks up whatever's in my mailbox. So that won't be till 3 and then he does a walk around walk around Around my street and I'll come back to my mailbox to put mail in and if I have anything else that pops up for orders I'll throw them in again and get them and then he can come grab those two for the second round and then that's it for the weekend, so I Always push things out. Even if I'm out if I go out somewhere to do stuff. I go to the post office with with orders I don't go to the post main

post office like I used to I used to go once or twice a day but of course mail the postal service prices went through the roof I'm priced out of priority I don't use priority shipping at all anymore all-ground advantage and to save gas and money I don't go to the post office I just let the mailman pick it up unless it's something big or if I have to use use ups Which is at my staples for a big box. I Normally just leave everything in the mailbox But if I'm out to go to the store and I've already done orders, which I usually do the orders first then go to the store Therefore I can

Go to the store and then also drop stuff off the mailbox I mean post office main post office of course not the one in town all right so that's a little eBay history eBay 101 for you guys and girls and anybody out there so let's think of what we got for this morning let's see where we're at for time huh or over 20 minutes cool all right so everyone have a good weekend and I will see you tomorrow all right bye
