Good morning everyone, it is now 6.49am
so I've been sleeping a little bit later because I've been staying up late
a new thing now is I watch a movie or two
before I go to bed. I picked up Apple Plus
because I watched The Fountain of Youth the other night
and it was really fun, I really enjoyed it with Natalie Portman, our big fan
so I suggest that movie.
If you get Apple Plus.
And then I started watching the first episode of Silo.
Very interesting. It has a fallout,
the series fallout feel to it.
From Prime. So, Big Fan.
So you definitely have to see fallout. That's really cool.
Based on the game a little bit
And then I watched one episode of silo last night, and I'm really into also
So max I got max 2 I watch
Dune the prophecy which has nothing to do with the other series the movies, but it's also pretty fun
So that's what we've been doing then yesterday we worked. I was steady with orders I had two
Nintendo Wii U Consoles I had to tear down first when I videoed
Testing it updating it resetting it doing the whole deal took me a good 45 minutes to get all that done
So some orders that come in are very time-consuming
But usually I'm right on them I normally don't just put orders aside ever if I'm on my w- well except when I'm
sleeping so all my waking hours are just getting orders going because you don't
want to fall behind I can't afford it because it's just me if I stay on pace
for that I'm on I'm fine so I just can't take any really time off even if I'm just putting them together or getting them organized
I don't necessarily have to pack them today Saturday
And of course you want me as a seller on Saturday
Because my mailman or mail access we have a mail lady now
I should say my mail lady doesn't come until three o'clock on Saturday, which is awesome because
main post office in town closes at 12 and
Then the smaller one and the other side of town that closed at 1
But I can still push out orders and I will until the lady comes around
3 and
That's with the truck to pick up my big load
Because I have a giant oversized mailbox that I can fill easily at some point and many times
or if I have a lot of them I'll go bring them to the post office too and
Then she takes a second walk around on my street
And then if I have anything else I can throw in there again, and I can pack and get in there before she comes I will
Really good about that
So let's see what this morning brings.
So we do also, we also did PS4 1215A.
Just needed an update.
So I tore it down.
Listed all the parts for that.
The power supply, all the main parts.
Power supply, motherboard, disk drive.
All the, both top, the bottom case and the top covers.
Those are all listed now.
Let's check a look at Etsy.
And I started, but I haven't crossed list, is a new app, not an app, a new website that
I signed up for.
I'm going to open a small McCarrie and Parchmark store I can
do gaming electronics there so we're gonna do that so I have to have that
first in order to and I can use that also to put some more stuff on eBay I
mean Etsy rather but unfortunately it's not a straight listing from eBay to these
stores you have to do certain things
So I can't do them all at once I can do one by one. It's kind of the pain
We're gonna start working on that
very soon
In the next week June 8th is going to be a big day
For Death Stranding 2 June 8th. Oh, it's coming. Yeah, I won't sign up for it until it's here
Unless this I don't want to see anything about it until it gets here and I just gonna get the original version I'm not gonna get all the other nonsense. It comes along with it. It's they're so expensive now 70
$69 I believe 70 bucks just for the
Basic version which is fine good enough for me
Yeah, I only want I always play it'll outplay it on the easiest setting of course. I just want to play the game
I don't want to become a world record
So we'll do that too, so I'd seen nothing going on at sea. Let's see my RSS feed
What's going on here this one, so it's raining today here in Rhode Island
But and then tomorrow is gonna be like a passing shower I think on Sunday and then I think
meteorology meteorology
summer starts
On the 21st, but we're gonna have some 80 degree days coming up
That's pretty exciting. I stood a lot with lots of do outside. I showed you where I'm at now outside
You can see the video. Oh, so I have two downloads
Very exciting. I like to get at least a couple one or two
Ashburn always Manila always great to see him
L's warm from Germany
thousand oaks from United States and
Canada, Toronto
So a few around the around the country and world which is awesome
My message in a bottle over the internet ocean as I always say
Okay, so let's look at YouTube so I had almost $300 in promotions in YouTube
I had almost $300 in promotions in YouTube
Last month I can't do that again. I just can't afford it, but I've gotten significantly farther
Let's see how many subscribers are at
For 44,000
897 subscribers
So we're almost at 45,000 already. We've had almost 10,000
909
999
9999 in the last 28 days
So that's really again all attributed to the amount of promotions that I did so starting this month
I'm gonna want to do it all the time, but I'm not gonna I can't really afford it that $300 was a real hit
Although I'm close to $100
For the last three months, so I will get I mean, so I will get a hundred dollar payment. Hopefully this month I think
I'm at $32 and 7 cents
My watch hours went up a 103.9. I mean the views rather and then the watch hours
736.3
So going forward I'm going to try not to do it because I'm gonna do videos here and there and I'm gonna want to promote
Them is I'm not gonna promote anymore. I just have to be happy where I'm at for the amount of
subscribers
It's almost kind of an addiction to want to promote things so I can get more
subscribers
It's really fun, but it's really hurting me financially because I'm not it's not paying off at all
It's just me going in the negative as I always talked about so
we're just gonna going forward no more promotions and we'll just see how we go
from there of course I always do videos every day it's three four times a day
and then I decided also I'm going back to YouTube live feeds however it's gonna
be my overview I started. I set it up
so you can see the overview but a live feed overview and I also have the video that I make from it and
Then we do tick-tock live. So we'll do those three
Going forward. I normally don't get many
Live views overview. Well, we'll do it for a while again Again. I try to mix it up. Try different things see if I can
No comments see if I can get something else going on. You have to keep mixing it up pretty much That's what I've been trying to do. We'll get outside
My average duration is always 34 34 seconds
And I see that I'm at the point where I've been I already know if
you're just doing you and and it just is not getting any different then you're
probably never well meaning I don't think I'll ever really get YouTube to to
do anything for me be great if it did I'm really trying but the amount of subscribers is not does not correlate to
higher income or more views or amount of time watched it's just where every
continent people don't want to watch it they'll just watch for a second and
that's it so of course I wish lots of shorts and stuff anyway because those
are always important those I can get a few hundred
Views without having any promotion. All right, let's look at eBay. I did have a neutral feedback yesterday
So the buyer contacted me about a problem
He waited seven days to give me a neutral feedback, which is it was totally on me. I had two
Things left and I messed up and
I shipped them one with a little bit of ding on the thing
and of course I get the negative neutral feedback with a zoomed in photo of just of the exact spot that I missed super
Thank you so much in capital letters for the bottom plates and screws for the
PS 3 super super slim
so and
Yeah, so I get the zoom in photos. You can check it out the neutral feedback
This is very poor condition. I guess for the is fair for the money and it has a ding on the metal
It's the one that I had on my Xbox just which is right next to me, right near me.
And when the order came in, I had a lot of orders
and I was like, oh, I have one right here.
I'll just grab it quick, throw it in the mailbox
and get it out for him.
Of course, the intent is always to try to get your orders
out as quickly as possible.
However, in that haste, I sometimes overlooked the fact
that it had a ding on it and I forgot.
But what's not
said on here is it fully works. It's the one I was using. So it's just anyway it's
just that was a choice to buy it made. So I won't sell somebody like that again.
If they can't at least contact me and say hey it's got a ding on it. Do you have a
different one? I would easily would have shipped it. I would have took that one back.
I would have paid to ship that one back and I would have I have one more that I know it's not dinged
And I didn't know where it was and that one was ready to written where I could grab it
So I did find that one. I would have been like, yeah, sorry. Sorry. I made a mistake. Sure
I'll ship you out a
Replacement and I'll take that one back
As a paid return I'll pay for it because I'm going down a couple
So that's how that ended
Totally my bed, but I sometimes I I need the buyers to have my back or help me out
As I'm trying to get things out to buyers or best I can but again
I'm not 3d printing brand new stuff either these are used items and sometimes they do have things on but they work
But I wasn't the one I wanted to ship them, but I did by accident and of course blew up my face
But I said I could try to do this again alright, so let's see we have a couple orders
Let's see what orders we have do I have any messages I'm gonna have messages or
We have offers. $10.
Yeah, no that's not happening.
So I put some of my Super Fan Coms up for as complete.
I'm not really going to, definitely not going not gonna spend over $10
cheapest gaming
the name of the guy who of course he gives me the cheapest he wants the
cheapest I'm not selling those for any cheaper
I've got a discount on them anyway so $36 for a complete one
best I'm gonna do I don't sell for a penny
less I have the motherboards
too. Nintendo Wii. I guess, no I'm not gonna take that. No I'm not gonna take that. I'm
like doing ten dollars today. So, let's see. We just have a couple orders which is great Saturday.
I want to work on other stuff.
Oh, I want to get some of those new stores open up. to migrate all my Google drive onto computer drivers get all that off of
there and stop paying all that extra money as Google tries to charge you you
know 30 bucks a month I got rid of all my subscriptions for the chat GPT and
Gemini because again just wasted money because it does the same thing
You just get a short amount of time to do it, which is fine. I'm not on it all the time. I
Think at this point you shouldn't have to pay for a chat GPT or any of that
Alright so we have three or no, let's see we have three orders, no two orders, what
were they?
Awaiting shipping.
We have a slim top cover, cool, yeah I have a few of those.
And then we have a original Xbox 2001, the original 1.0 motherboard that has that fan with the CPU
I mean, I'm sorry the the GPU heat sink and fan
They were often very noisy what you want to do is take that out of there and just get the other
GPU heat sink and replace it and then your your 1.0 is super quiet in an instant
Or you can just take that fan off but it's
it's you don't think you really need both but people use those for something
else as well but I'm not sure what I think they still using that heatsink but
they're not using the fan I'm not sure I ran out of the original one with the
GPU and of course I'm not really buying anything else so but we're
gonna go back to I had the lot I did buy a parts lot the other day and we are
going to which includes lens assembly from a GameCube that I haven't tested yet
there was the Wii U we tested that it had no power
which is very unusual for Wii U to have no power and then we had what else do we have
oh the N64 motherboard and it's an 08 motherboard so I'm gonna I'm gonna test
that today and also a Super Nintendo motherboard where the switch is broken, but it doesn't necessarily mean that that was a problem
I stripped those all down the other day. I think in a video maybe
so today we're going to
Get a close look at those because I'll sell those either working or not. It doesn't matter
They both sell especially that oh wait
N64 motherboard that'll easily sell really fast
Super Nintendo that'll sell that is a sound box one so that means I have a sound box
Also, I can sell Somewhere I have a second sound box. We have two sound boxes
And
Cartridge slot for the N64. I will test that
So that'll be a little little smorgasbord of stuff. We'll do later on
There's a little video again. We're gonna open up the live feed
overview
While I'm doing video as well
All right, so I think it's about it this morning. Where are we at?
16 minutes will make a little bit shorter today get to Saturday
I see you guys have a good afternoon, and I will talk to you later
