Episode Date: May 18, 2025

When Parts Lots are sold, they are meant to be for Parts. I ship the best ones I have. They are in a discount LOT. Some fully work others not so much as detailed in the listing. You take the good with the bad as a whole. I have spent my selling gaming parts life buying Parts Lots. I never expect all the work, but I find ways to make due with what given at a very low price. Everything Sells. It is just a matter of how.

Good morning everyone it is now 647 um I was up for a little bit earlier I had of course I was going to take care of my buddies first But I've been sleeping a little bit late because I've been staying up later now because it's just really too hard to sleep They usually go to sleep earlier 435 o'clock, so I'm staying up watching movie In bed while with my laptop less than I watched the quiet place day one it was just okay I wasn't really a big fan but we watched that I was pretty cool so and then I saw them way I stay up a little bit later and cools off a

little bit before I go to sleep soon I'll have to have the air conditioning on which is right behind my head where I sleep just happened to be where I put it I wish I would have put it somewhere else Didn't know I was gonna have a loft bed there, so I'm kind of just stuck with it So it's kind of a pain to sleep with it once really really hot, but I have no other choice Someday I'd like to get it moved to a different spot, but There's no way around a wall that I have a place where I can put it anyway so it's kind of buried where it is so just in the in the peak of summer I just have to deal with it just I don't run the

air conditioner when I'm sleeping I just have the fan on behind me to cool me off a little bit so yesterday I worked on Dreamcast we worked worked on, we went through my VA0s, which is the original model. It's the 5 volt board. This drive looks, the GD drive looks very different, very similar to the Model 1, which is the 3.3 volt. And then of course the Model 2 VA2 is completely different, it's like a plastic drive. So I listed some boards, tested some stuff, some parts for the VA-0, but I wanted to do some more Sega Dreamcasts and I found some ports and I had every port on a Sega Dreamcast needs to be upgraded so you need to get a kit and to upgrade your port because

eventually it's gonna fail. So I have a few that I did but I'm not really good at soldering So I'm gonna try to fix them today So we'll play around with some ports and I have the ones I think I have a Japan model to To to list somewhere. I have a Japan game to test it. I gotta find it. So we'll look at VA ones today I don't have any more VA2s, I sold all those. I'm down to just the VA1s I listed and put away all the VA0s yesterday. So we'll go from there today. Plus I'm outside. I stained a little of the bottom room that I'm currently working on. Now I have some leaks I need to try to take care of hopefully I can figure it out. Let's see

what's going on here. Let's check Etsy. Nothing this morning Etsy. I have to check I have to check recent activity check since that last I had a some guy didn't get the correct I shipped him or thought I should do a good one but he wasn't happy with it but he did leave us five five stars right through I will reply to anything that I see that says I did something wrong I try not to but you know it's called being humans found you make mistakes so I don't think I didn't do it on purpose unless it got damaged during shipping but he never contacted me directly. Just left the feedback

Not so nice feedback, but I'm still so it just has to be over this Let's see my RSS feed this morning Let's see what we got going on Yes, so today we're gonna do some Dreamcast I'm gonna go outside for a little while though and do some stuff but I've got a significant lot of stuff done my mass pile is just about complete now got one other shed to go through to get stuff out of and then we're gonna do is we'll go through I'm gonna put it all the 360s in my other shed once I clean it out

And we'll get a count how many I have left so I've had three downloads yesterday pretty exciting Welcome anybody that comes in usually they go from zero to three down with Nigeria awesome port Harcourt Russia Moscow Harcourt, Russia, Moscow, Quantar, Doha, Brooklyn, and Manolo. We had five downloads. Pretty exciting. Manolo has been around for a while, so I always like to see Manolo. I welcome anybody that gets my message in a bottle over the internet ocean as we call it.

So we do this every morning and I'm just about getting ready to do my mid day. I'll go, I'm going to start with PS1s and we'll just kind of go through each system. We'll do a little 20 minute to half hour. I know everything pretty much off the top of my head but we can also ask my buddy Zippy or I can look at the chips and get some more detail on where the chip is per like PS1 motherboards because there's four or five different kinds variations from the original 1001 to the last one which is the 9001 so we'll do something

like that today I'm gonna mix it up a little bit and stop doing some more podcasts because I enjoy doing them it's definitely in the morning here it helps me wake up as I'm progressing through my checklist I guess you could call it every morning and it's kind of the same. Alright so let's check out YouTube. So YouTube we, I've been promoting so my numbers have gone up not my subscriber numbers, yeah 38,448 subscribers. So still sticking up there. I promoted $5 that's my promotion. I had 220 views of my Sega Dreamcast VA 0 13 I had 13 likes so it's pretty cool So and again the only reason only way I go keep going up is if I have to promote even if it's a little

Squirt promote like I said, I just do five dollars But they add up though. It's like anything else and it adds up I just do five dollars, but they add up though. It's like anything else and it adds up So let's see you figure out some new ones So then I check all the new subscribers Most are hidden so I can't see them But if I see somebody that I can subscribe to I will because it's only Makes sense right if some describes you you want to subscribe back

But I only get to see a few of them, so out of the thousands that I have. So my view hours are 85.8k. Watch hours are 603.5. And of course the revenue hasn't moved at all. $20.05. Blah. My warning feedback is dirty, still getting a lot of views. I think I put $20 in that one because I thought it was funny. But I kind of egged that guy on and the second feedback was vulgar. I didn't like the second one. You can see the other

one, it wasn't a fan. The first one was kind of funny and was alright, but the second one, so I didn't want to promote any more though it's definitely not that one we did that once that was enough so let's see checking through see my average duration always is there like 33 seconds so I don't think I'll ever if I do this for the next 20 years we'll make more than $20 a month. It seems like it doesn't matter as we've gone through this many times, the amount of subscribers that I have

that has no bearing on the actual revenue. Unless all 38,000 were watching stuff maybe then, but not really, but besides that no all right so let's go to eBay see what my I always started a sale let's see if it got me a little bit of something yeah I got a couple things I did 30% sale over the week for Saturday and Sunday so let's see what we got going on here. Let's see if we have any messages. $100. 2D. Oh, and so, what's it? Yeah. Yeah. This. Oh. Oh, please don't do that these

now i'm gonna have a problem with this. Nothing was any different. different on each mod shipped. I gave you huge discounts and huge discounts. Alright, so we're gonna have a problem with that guy. I have a feeling we'll at some point. So there must be some sort of a... Alright, so $11. Alright, so I'll do that. That's that So this we're going to go back now to this all-day person who Let's see if they hit me with a feedback

Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. These were being sold as parts items. If you had most good ones, that is a bonus. Each was completely intact. Intact. Some, as detailed, may have issues. That was the whole purpose of the listings and discounts. I can say your first dirty feedback was fun, but the second was very vulgar. So in the same way you feel, so in the same way you feel feel something was not good as the other I feel the exact way about that second feedback. Yuck! If you had most good ones, that is a bonus. Each is completely intact. I was selling...

parts... ones... two per listing. You get parts parts off them. Each was completely intact. Some, as detailed, may have issues. That was the whole purpose of the listing and discounts. I can say your first dirty feedback was fun, but the second one was very vulgar. Vulgar. So, in the same way you feel something was not good, not as good as the other, I feel exactly about the second feedback yuck so I have an issue I sort of a hundred dollar offer what's that for I could use it yeah I'll take that

yeah I'll definitely take that so what's a motherboard oh no maybe purchased it a Tandy 1000 EX motherboard alright so it looks like we may have this guy wanted to pull a return before. All right, sorry to bother you. Do you sell the pods that keeps that keeps the eject and power button in place? Do you eject and power button in place? Oh, yes. I have all the brackets I have all the brackets and screws, screw sets not yet listed. I will, I've been meaning to do that. This is a Nintendo Wii U, the console. I've only have so many parts Listed for it like everything else I can only list so many things because I just don't have enough time I have all the brackets and screw sets not yet listed. I will get some up today.

So we'll do some listings. I'm really angry about this guy with the all day thing. I knew he was gonna be a pain eventually. I was tolerating the feedback, but if you're gonna try to return something, I ain't gonna be happy about it. And I'll fight it and I'll lose anyway, because eBay will make me give them a return. And then I'll be it. I won't sell them anymore, ever again. But, everyone was, I hand picked each one that I could possibly find as clean as I could

Everyone was shipped out the same exact day. So we did get the motherboard. That's cool. I need that. Yeah, so so Selling gaming parts is so hard and then you get a really goofy seller a goofy buyer rather like this That no matter what you do. He's all happy when things are great it's like manic but as soon as something goes wrong or bipolar I guess you could say as soon as something is but everyone was it I made sure that every lens was perfect or as good as I could get so you take the good with the bad when you buy parts listings so that's just the way it is and far as I know each one was intact but they're not all gonna work. That wasn't the point That's why they were so cheap. All right, so

I'm gonna shake this off now. It's gonna bug me all day now. I Wasn't gonna say anything about that second feedback, but now I'm like, yuck Alright, so first thing I got this morning for an order is an Xbox, the original 01-05 heatsink clamp for the CPU. And then I did sell that motherboard, the Tandy 1000 motherboard, a set of chrome Xbox console top and bottom and Then I just sold a right battery compartment for the Sega Game gear I could find the rest of those I have more of those I want to list more I couldn't find them

Not sure where they are right now So those are the three orders orders so we'll have to deal with somebody that don't do it. I'm telling you I'm gonna lose anyway but I just won't I won't sell again. I gave I got all his orders he ordered a whole bunch of them and I get all of them at a real discount and I kept getting them out every as fast as possible. So, there's no one that I would have made any different than the other. All right, so that's it for this morning. Let's see where we're at. Let's look around a little bit. I'm almost at 20 minutes. I'll end on the note of a little aggravation, but we'll talk about it.

If it comes up, I'll talk about it if it comes up I'll bring it anytime something really comes up. I'll bring it up As I did today, that's why I do this in the morning so that way I can vent a little bit helps me Unwind especially after all the work I put in to get that this guy or girl I'm not sure actually what it is what they who is to get this guy or girl, I'm not sure actually what it is, who it is. According to the two dirty feedbacks, one's a guy, one's a girl, so I'm not really sure. But I went on my way to get all that stuff done and I had to find them. That's the other thing. I had to come up with all of them, which I did.

I still have a few left, but I ain't doing any more. I need to save a couple. So that's it for this morning. I'm going to leave on a little bit of an aggravated note this morning But we'll shake it off a little bit later We'll see where it goes if it goes to open return and well then we'll battle Because it's definitely there's nothing that's any different than the other and I buy parts lots She haven't that's all that's all I do you take the good with the bad you find the good ones and then you you know shake off the bad ones plus those lens assemblies have three or four different

parts in them so there's plenty of parts and then I had somebody I just sold two lens assemblies for the oh say say Dreamcast and he gets one of the lenses a chip that I didn't even notice it I just tried to pick the cleanest ones I could find and those are as is too And then I got a feedback showing that zoomed in photo of the piece of chip off the lens But again, they'll set the board on them and other parts to them do so I can't sell things that I say for parts and then you expect them both the fully work See that's the deal with this guy easy every other lot probably that he got they all worked So he was all happy and it was weird dirty feedbacks and then the last one

Some of them maybe didn't work or some some parts of it. So then now he wants to return them and that's not how part Lots work especially when all those are at discounts too. So that's where I'm going to end my note. My thing this morning. I'll do some Sega Dreamcast later. Alright. So you guys have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you later. Alright, bye.
