Good morning everyone. It is now 6 17 Sunday. We're in deep into the Memorial Day weekend.
Hopefully everyone's having a fun weekend. Today is 5 25 20 25. Tomorrow is the actual Memorial Day.
So I think it's the unofficial start to summer. Although the weather wasn't too bad yesterday But we had that all that rain the day before
working on my last well not my last but
The one more spot another shed out in the back. I cleaned out the area so that I can get into it
We're gonna pull stuff out. We were gonna have a yard sale come up this week
But also we're gonna get rain Thursday and Friday, so we can't do it
We need to have that Wednesday through Saturday of no
Weather because I gotta bring everything out put the tables up. I haven't done a yard sale in the lot and a few years
I really don't want to do anymore, but
My mother wants to get some stuff out so what we do is usually whatever we bring out to the front
For the odd sale it doesn't ever goes goes back it'll go to one of the
donation places in town so it's kind of way to get rid of get move stuff along
get it in the odd sale and move it out from there slowly I've been putting
everything in beans and a lot of work in the last three months a couple months
here we're getting there though so yesterday was another interesting day
selling on eBay all I'm trying to do is just sell gaming parts all the other
stuff that comes after that is just craziness but it was interesting day
yesterday I didn't do any videos because I was I had orders all day so even though
I'm dealing with some crazy eBay stuff I just keep pumping out orders and as I
always say on Saturdays you want me as your seller.
Because my mailman doesn't come till 3 on a Saturday.
So main post office in town on Saturday closes at 12.
The smaller one in town closes at 1.
But I can still push out stuff until 3.
So I had a late order.
So it was in the mailbox for the second mailman usually comes to pick up the box
I have a big oversized mailbox
So it comes picks up the packages and then does a walk around and comes drops the mail off and then picks up one more
thing
So we got we got a lot of stuff out so that can be busy all day, and then I'm still working on Silent Hill 2
I played for about a half hour. I keep going down deeper and deeper into some sort of a
Prison now, so it's pretty spooky to my favorite remake so far by far
It was it's a lot better than I started out weird, but then I knew we got really cool
And now we're I want to finish the game so I could say at least finished one game a lot better than I started out weird and then but then only we got really cool and
Now we're uh I want to finish the game so I could say at least finished one game
Which I haven't done in a very very long time so real cool. Let me play for a little while so now We're deeper into the to the and you can always save every five steps, so that's pretty cool
All right, so let's see what's going on this morning I just want simple easy weekend just some maybe some waters and that's
it I don't want any more silliness if I can help it So today we're going to be outside again but I am going to try to list a couple of those
low firmware Xbox 360 that I have.
One's a Jasper, the true Jasper.
So we'll see what happens
Alright, so let's go to Etsy had one sale in Etsy yesterday, which was of course my screw sets
For the Nintendo GameCube I sell so many of those and I still tons of them. I got a huge bucket of screws
So like I said, we were talking 1300 or so cubes I just got a Cuban
not sure where it is but I use that screw set yesterday that I just pulled I
was going inside that one and we shipped it but it had to go with all the other
screws it's a complete set and that complete set I've sold so many of those
over the years and I saw lots of money Bay too but it seems to be the my number
one seller on Etsy so whatever it's a few bucks. I make per order
And but there's certain screws and I'm getting low on I just can't seem to find them
So it makes a little bit harder, but I'm still can I still got screws everywhere. I just have to look around for
That's the hardest thing again if I'm selling down to a screw set. It means I have to have that screw set somewhere
Even though thing yesterday with the ten nuts that we were talking about yesterday
I had to have those ten nuts from a wee battery compartment and
I have to go around and try to hunt them down. They're in a specific area, but they're not necessarily
I don't have them all ready to go
So I have to go through a giant bin of screws and try to find 10 nuts.
So it's hard.
It's the hardest part of selling gaming parts,
especially down to selling just little nuts,
is I have to have them first.
And then somewhere I have to remember where they are
or kind of locate them in a certain specific area.
I've been trying to get things more located,
but I have boxes of
little ziplock bags full of different things and in those ziplock bags are
certain small little teeny parts and I have to kind of keep it all in the same
area but it's really hard. That's the hardest part. Once in a blue moon I can't
find something I just don't know what I do with it so I have to refund the guy
or the seller, buyer rather, but normally I can usually find stuff but there's times where just it's some
random thing that I had listed forever and then all of a sudden someone
purchased it I'm like oh where did I put that I have no idea and you have to
understand I have gaming stuff in my room is packed Every part of my house upstairs my basement is gaming parts everywhere
And then there's two outer rooms and then also three sheds in the back and of course my giant pile
We'll do a video today of my giant pile as it has now really grown in my gazebo of
all my recyclable gaming parts all the stuff
left over from eight years it's huge but at least I finally got into one most of
it now into one place so now it's just a matter of saving up money in the next
year or so and getting somebody to pull it all out of there for talking metal
plastic you just sit there
Don't be close anything all right, so Etsy is no go this morning, but I did have an order yesterday
Let's look at my RSS feed
So let's see what's going on there
We have a few people for to have a yes a Sweden or something
So so it's so exciting when I get someone from somewhere around the world
My message in a bottle over the internet ocean as we always say
Let's see I like to see what we get even if I get one download it necessarily can be
Multi people of one download Australia Sydney
Sweden or or bond on bro. I think it's or bro not sure Ashburn Manola those are
my my constant from the US Germany so pretty cool so I get to see a flat map of
the world and little red dots and those specify where in the world these
downloads came from and helps me me remember why obviously no, I know Australia is but it's like a Sweden. I have no idea where Sweden is on a flat map
I still don't know which red dot is actually Sweden
But it's pretty cool. I'm very exciting the podcast that I added this a few months
To months to contribute to my YouTube and it's one of my one of my funnest things
to do in the morning is my groundhog day I enjoy it because it helps me wake up
kind of can share where where the day goes and let's see as we will segue into
YouTube probably got a lot more things going on with this podcast
yesterday but here's what it is. 252 oh no we actually had whoa so this should be
interesting we'll have to go through all that so we've had oh oh no, it's 13.
13.
Oh no, I was looking at it.
So we had some views of that podcast which has some extra stuff going on with it.
Oh, we have actually got a member now, which is really exciting.
I've never had a member before.
So the only thing I can offer you if you want to be a member with me is a couple dollars,
two or three bucks off of eBay listing sale
You if you remember
And you order something just remind me and I'll just take off like three bucks off the sale
It's best I can do I have nothing really else to offer
I wish I did so I could get more members because it's kind of fun to have a member so we are at
41,865 subscribers.
So we're just plugging along.
So our new goal of course now is 50,000.
And I promoted those last couple and I just promoted that podcast
because it had some extra things going on with it.
I thought it was interesting.
So again I always chronicle my life on eBay.
I've been doing it for quite some time as I started YouTube.
It started out as just videos of things I was doing, but it's turned more into the ups
and downs of daily selling gaming parts.
They're extremely difficult.
And my ups and downs as they go.
Not all good, but you know, there's always good and bad in life anyways this matter
So we have 13 comments
Let's see if there's any more comments on this
Think we're about done. I thought we were done. Yeah, it looks like we're done with that so that's cool
I want to move on from that
My two main 2.2 K for my vulgar dirty feedback
of course we talked about that eBay did not have my back and I have to return I
have to take the returns but I initiated the help and which turns it into a case
and within minutes the case even though I gave my side of the
story didn't matter I knew they weren't gonna do it and they automatically gave
the buyer this yeah the buyer returns so I don't know if they've been shipped yet
enough or wait till they come back of course we'll we'll talk about that when
it comes back compare I'll compare the ones
that I remember, well I know what I shipped to what I get back and stuff like that. We'll
figure it out. It's an awful road bump because it's all this extra money that I had to come
up with to, because your funds are on hold now. So it's just a complete nightmare pretty
much. But we'll shake it off like as I always do
feedback goes away in about a year, I'll come up with the
Refund money and then we'll all move on
As I always do do what you have to do you have to but I use YouTube in my podcast is just to
Vent a little bit it helps me vent and I like to share for anybody
else out there that goes through struggles of selling and just struggles
in life in general pretty much. Alright let's go to eBay. Alright drumroll let's
see what we got. I have to lately eBay has been a serious drumroll. I've had a good
sale over the weekend 30% off coupon. I had to do it because I needed to come over some refund money so let's
see what happened some messages feedback let's look at feedback first let's see
if we can stay in the positive for a little while here I don't like the
negative great eBay seller thanks HDMI side cover so lots of those for the
Xbox 360 fat the white side cover it's one
of those things you can sell a lot of great price fast shipping and 64 power
adapter so that's pretty cool so you know again I'll do my best to ship
things and the same day oh and now also I ordered a but I didn't realize I got ordered the wrong one
above we'll still take it ps4
The 1215 a I've come in it's complete
Was really cheap With the shipping was like a little over 40 bucks. I was like awesome
I'll sell those side panels right off the bat, but I had an idea that I want to do but I have a bunch of leftover
working
But they have
Watchers and stuff to watch your fix for the 1001 egg. So over the years I've had
so many bugged
PS4s, so I decided what I want to do is
I'm gonna take one of my old ps4s if I can keep it running and
We'll put it in an area in my backyard
Under one of my carports and we'll let it run and we'll somehow video it
or maybe do some sort of a slow motion or a
And see if I can get some bugs that come on
We'll track it. We'll see if it'll
And see if I can get some bugs that come on. We'll track it. We'll see if it'll
attract bugs Because I always wanted to wonder how
because ps4
Those just you 101 a and the 115 even the 1259
I've always been the ones when I've opened up and been the most bugged like serious bugged
Always wondering how did it get like that?
So that's my goal now. I wanted to figure out how I got like that so I always say
it's not it's gross enough that the system is bugged but then you got to
think about the house that it came from someone's room that they were sitting on
the floor or the system was on the floor and it was just running and bugs were
going inside of it
How does that happen if you open up enough of them like I have you'll know exactly what I mean
So I want to create that when I know we create that that
And I'll do it outside because obviously there's bugs outside and maybe ants and all that so we're gonna have fun with that
I don't know how I'm gonna do it yet. I
Maybe ants and all that so we're gonna have fun with that. I don't know how I'm gonna do it yet. I
Can't really leave it running all the time that I'm gonna try to if I can and put it in a good area
But under something on one of my car parts and just see if it'll attract bugs And of course, I always said I wanted to make a movie
Where we are invaded by large insects and we use ps4s
to make traps to lure the giant insects into so
that we can kill them with little bombs or something but because the ps4 draws
and bugs right that was my concept I think it's pretty funny so alright so
let's always guess my mind always got a million things going on. I
Got an offer. I got two three feedbacks. I'm not feedbacks messages. Oh, which is something
I don't like deal with this message thing anymore
Understood. Thanks for letting me know. So well
In this case there has the power so I shipped oh yeah oh wait huh I have no idea
different power did you send it yeah yes
these work for all... this is about a power supply, I made a mistake... work Unless
Unless
You have say now. I would have waited now. I contact the bias that I made a mistake He said just ship the other one so I did yesterday
Yes, I
Shipped it yesterday
These work yesterday these work these work for all 3,000 models 3,000 for 5,000 model so it sounds like a return probably Retro check my profile. Let's talk about bulk purchasing
Let's talk about bulk purchasing
Yeah, I
Have
And in so much debt, I'm in debt consolidation. We've talked about that
national debt consolidation
I've went to
Gaming school at home here for about eight years so anytime you go to school
college that is
No bulk no bulk
uh
purchase
from me
check my profile let's talk about bulk
simple purchasing
uh...
oh yes l
dec consolidation so if you go to go to college, you got to
take out loans. Basically that's what I did to learn and get things from around the world,
all the systems and vintage computing and all that. So I am in debt big time. But we're
actually, we're three quarters of the way through it. I have about another year and
a half, but it's a lot of money per month now to actually pay.
Okay.
Okay.
I actually want to change this. He says, Hey, check out my profile.
Let's talk some bulk purchasing from.
Okay.
From me or you.
So I'll just leave it at that.
So I'll just leave it at that. I don't know what he means by bulk purchasing.
Let's check out his feed, his uh, let's see what he's talking about.
I think he wants me to buy from him which is not gonna happen.
Cause I have none of that stuff.
So let's check out, he has 31 items.
Yeah I don't know.
He's got games.
Games are so hard to sell. I have so many games. Like he's selling games for $4, $6.
I couldn't afford to do that. It's gotta have shipping costs too.
$4.99 for Hitman 2
with $3.71 to ship it. Yeah, so it's
nine bucks. No one's gonna buy that. that I don't sell I have so many games or actually just pulled up a whole bunch of the ten no
GameCube those are games I would sell those will sell but I got a whole bunch
of sports ones yeah I don't know what he's got he's look at my all I see is
games I'm not sure what he's doing I definitely don't want to buy any games retro and rare video games
I don't see anything that rare but
Maybe I'm missing something
But cool, so anyway I replied to him as I do every morning
And then my other guy is the one that's interested in
that
Xbox 360
the But according to the thing I could sell it for a good amount
but I doubt I'll get it 20 bucks yeah we'll take that we gotta take what we
can get again I'm trying to pay off a debt here on eBay right now it's just a
bummer but I think I pretty much caught up with that. And then we'll go from there.
So I only had a few sales over the weekend, even with 30% off.
Of course I have a lot of negative feedbacks now, so that doesn't help me out much.
But I still do my orders as I normally do every day.
Still pumping stuff out.
We're getting there
still negative so we'll see
hopefully we can get some income going on here
at some point but doesn't look like it's gonna be today
okay alright so I think that's it for this one
oh let's look at my orders. I had a couple orders.
Let's see what we got.
We just did that white side panel.
And he also got a, oh cool, we got a white side panel from the other side.
So one's the grill.
So this is the Xbox 360 S1439.
He wanted a discount on one of them.
See now I see he already had another one so that actually worked out.
And then PS3
401 on top bottom metal
inner cage. So that's the PS
super slim. 4001
C. I have to find a cage for it that's the inner metal the top and
bottom for the motherboard so we'll need to find that but today's Sunday and
tomorrow is also holiday so I can kind of I'm gonna go outside take a little
bit of a break and I only have a few orders and I have had enough to pay off my debt. I haven't seen those things get
returned yet so we'll see. I'm sure it'll just wait till it happens.
Alright so that's it this morning. I hope everybody enjoys their weekend. I'm sure
if they're wherever the destination was for Memorial Day weekend, you're already there.
So enjoy the fun of wherever you are.
And then I will talk to you in the morning.
Alright, bye.
