Good morning everyone. It is now
632 it is June 8th
2025 today is Sunday
For this Sunday, I'm still hopeful for my my little buddy Roxy
She's about 15 years old and yesterday. She was in really rough shape, but then she had a little resurgence
So she's doing all right. She just needs a lot of help now
We're just trying to keep her as comfortable but she's still eating drinking water
so that's a good sign she just needs a lot of extra help no worried about my
buddy I don't know how much time he said she has left so we'll pray for my buddy
Roxy but of course in the end of day want anyone. If it's that time, and then it's that time,
then just keep them as peaceful and as comfortable
as possible.
Well, yesterday, I really feel like we were in a hospice
situation.
But then she had a little, she kind of got awake,
but she's still struggling.
But she had a good night overnight.
I just got her outside.
Later, I go to the bathroom. I have to give her extra help now so that's just what she
just needs extra care lots extra care now so we'll pray for my buddy Roxy
she's been such a really good dog we got her about ten years now about eight
years ago and she's just been really good and she's my mother's dog so I try
to kill fully she'll stay around but I don't know she's my mother's dog, so I try to try to kill fully she'll stay around, but I don't know she's struggling
Really, but she looked better this morning, but still struggling all right, so and then yesterday
We did a little bit. I was really trying to take care of Roxy all day, so I didn't really do much
I listed some stuff. I had done a N64
Doing putting some parts together organizing organizing I did that before I
got my Roxy up and the rest of the day was pretty much for her and then oh I
did I did after that Roxy was more comfortable I played some Silent Hill 2
I'm still playing that 20 hours almost into it and now I got to some guy with a big metal thing in front of him and two heads behind it trying to kill it
I can't seem to kill it. So we're almost done. I think but that's a game that lasts forever
But Silent Hill 2 remake is by far
the best
Remake that I played that's better than the Resident Evil
And you just keep jumping down into another hole
I go through one prison then another prison and I jump into another hole and do another hole
It's like it's like you're going further further. It's pretty wild
Lots of fun places lots of crazy stuff going on and I have it on the of the easiest settings and still it's hard
Could imagine putting out anything other than an easy setting
So let's see what's going on this morning. So today's Sunday. I got all my orders out yesterday except for one. It came out and then I just missed the mailman.
So we'll go out to Monday. Usually by three o'clock I thought he hadn't come back but
she actually, it's a mail lady, but so that may uh so we put a few things for GameCube yesterday
I listed all ends assembly actually sold down really quick. That's the one I didn't get out, but and then we
And I was pretty much it for my day, so let's see what today's gonna bring. Let's see where we're at
That was pretty much it for my day. So let's see what today's gonna bring. Let's see where we're at
All right, so we're gonna add Etsy to our well Etsy has always been here, but it's no sales at all lately
I've been at it's sale in a while on Etsy
So therefore we started Parchmark which I've not had a sale yet, but we've got some other action that's actually more important
Something unexpected it's like a social media I'm at 861 followers so it says I'm following 141 but it didn't say that
I sold anything so we're gonna add some more stuff here using the cross list
which is a site I had to sign up for which is kind of pricey but if I could sell a couple things and what I'll do is I'll go for the month and if I
don't I'll just leave it
what's on here and call it what it is
and then maybe I'll just leave it and I'll let it sell
and plus you can also do cross list rate from each listing
but it's an extra
some money I can't really afford per month
alright so let's look at all my RSS feed so we had at Parchmock I'm still looking
to see what Makari is about but I have to figure out how to set that up yet
haven't heard back again it says I need to validate who I am.
So.
Alright, let's look at...
Let's see...
I had two downloads yesterday.
Always consistent.
Pretty much...
Ashburn, Lindale,
Toronto,
Canada, Newport,
and United Kingdom. Pretty cool. cool across the pond as they say
Apex another one I get a lot of and that's United States pretty cool
And I welcome everybody that comes in each morning. I try to keep it as fresh and real as I can
Each day just kind of let you give you a preview of where my days going. I never know where my days going
It's just a matter of once I get to YouTube that I'll know I mean well YouTube
But more when I get to eBay so YouTube will go to now so I'm starting to lose subscription so
We went into the new phase of my YouTube
Which is no more promoting?
Good day, I can't afford it as I always say I live as I say
I live like eBay sale by eBay sale just to pay bills
so I
Because I stopped
Promoting I've gone down. I think I was at so I'm at
46,644 I think I was at peaked at 46,650 something.
So I've gone down significantly.
I did put a couple things to show my little buddy.
He's struggling, but I want to make
sure I got some photos of them together with Roxie and Rangie
because they were always together with me on the couch
So I got where we had a Roxie and a comfortable
Machine's cards broke down in a small pot
Potts and Rangie would create one of the revolutionary gaming accounts of all time
Yes
Yes, I
Also had done it all Yes, I Also
had done it all
Myself he's talking about my big pile of in the gazebo
All individual all the stuff left over and then I said yes, sorry
Buddy still struggling, but he's hanging in there a little bit. So interesting you might
Yesterday to have a look at pictures in the page cover
uh...
kids too
confused at first
papers looked at
uh... so this is about a tarry yeah
yeah
says
i asked
my buddy zippy
Chat GPT
To confirm
This does not
These
Do not
Work Do not work on the Gazact. This is that Atari STF.
What is it again?
Atari 1040.
I have an Atari 1040 STF that the rainbow TDoS upgrade doesn't work on the motherboard
I have.
Does not work on this motherboard.
This model. This model motherboard.
Board.
Oop, I did touch some.
This model motherboard.
There.
It was counter-tutoring.
Seem backwards.
Location of the RAMs read more.
Helpful.
Worth checking.
Work completely out completely the towels drawing in the towel
Yeah, my husband buddy Zippy
And does not
so those are all
upgrades I have some I also have my
Those are um upgrades. I have some I also have my
Amiga 500 that one I was able to upgrade this one. I thought I could the Atari, but I wasn't able to
So I just have extra rainbow chips around somewhere. I'm not sure where they went to I need to resell those actually
So let's see what else we have for... Oh, we have my mega pile.
So I'm breaking it down instead of paying for promotions.
I'm trying something a little different, which is doing a 15 second short and a 3 minute.
And then also I call it a flash 15 second.
It's partial of the three minute
and if I do a if I do a long video I put both plus the plus the long video itself just to
see what I can do see if I can mix it up a little bit see if I can drum some other but but normally like my s my in sixty four video i had thirty five views
so again if i've not promoted at all
s
except for a did you post it though it gets posted so it's possible all the
subscribers
forty six thousand
six hundred four four subscribers
however it doesn't really make a difference they just people that
subscribe and that's it
uh...
so it so
i only have thirty five views on that
i would promote that even for five bucks a proud like
four five hundred views
significantly different
but i just keep on this piece here just to see where it goes
uh... so it doesn't matter if i have
at this point if
I had 500,000 subscribers I don't think would make a difference. I've come to
that point where you realize if what you're doing isn't just not working
after a while it's probably never gonna. So you should try to at least try to mix it
up a little bit different that's what I'm doing and then just keep plugging away
at it and my revenue went up a buck
$33.05 and that's really the key point there because after I put all this time
and effort you'd want that to be a lot more than that but it's just not usually
each video if well definitely shorts you're not really getting any revenue at
all not even a penny and some of the longer ones maybe get 50 cents to a dollar here and there.
I haven't checked the average in a while, but I'm sure it's really low doing it this
way.
But that's all I can do.
All right, so let's go to eBay.
Let's, I sold so much of stuff. So we've been selling all weekend. Oh, I had a sale
And a few sales, but of course I have sales 30% off and then I still get best offers for half more offer
That's from there
So I'm just like I'm not gonna do a sale and then actually give you more
See we got something going on here
It says actual games may not seem to be working
But at least burn CDR as this is my secondary dream cast
With a once dead motherboard that needed replacing still happy with the purchase
Actual get actual games may may not seem to be working but at least burn.
Yeah, I don't know.
I bought that, yeah, unknown video.
Well packed.
Um, so we'll reply to that.
He's saying that South Park...
Oh, let's reply to that.
We'll do that in a minute.
So, um, yeah. So, I didn't know about those VO zeros.
They were unknown. So we have an offer for $20.00. So right now I'm not taking any
offers because I have discounts. Right? I don't know about you, but if you're offering 30% off and then someone's...
Oh, no, we definitely won't do that.
And then someone's saying, uh, no, I want more than that.
I want, I want like 70% off.
I'm sure you'd be the same as me, be like, heck no.
If you can't, if 30% off is enough then plus I'm already the
lowest per listing before I even do 30% off so if every buyer had it their way
same way I guess the same with me and when I'm a buyer they'd want everything
for free with free shipping right that would be the perfect storm for... I'm not doing that one.
So I've got two of the last Starfighters from the Atari 500.
Same deal. It's got a discount on it.
So I'm not knocking off more prices on those.
I paid a lot for those.
Software. This is software that everyone keeps giving me really low offers.
I'm not giving in on it
It's a gaming program
Starter kit 3.0 from Macmillan software. It's an old thing
It's a starter kit and I keep getting half off calm half-hacks
No half-hacks one I wanted here because I'm never gonna I'll never do a half back to
anybody meaning anything that's half or even more off and a new thing that I
started the other day I had somebody I had some one of my low offers my low
listings three thirteen dollars probably his offer was three dollars so I
automatically block somebody like that now I don't have time for that I'm not gonna take I would never want to work with anybody that's gonna offer was three dollars, so I automatically block somebody like that now. I don't time for that
I'm not gonna take I would never want to work with anybody that's gonna offer me three dollars
It's gonna cost me eight to get it to you that means I had to pay you all the extra money
So if that's your first offer and then we're done
Yeah, I mean if you if you were doing this all the time you would understand I
Did have somebody on YouTube that I just blocked that called me a bitch.
I think you're a bitch.
Well, if you do this long enough you kind of get that way.
Again, I'll take a few bucks off on the lower end one.
If I have something that's worth, if I'm selling for two, three hundred dollars and you say
hey I want to take 75% off, I mean 75 bucks off
or something like that, I may do that.
But if I'm at $13 and you're trying to say I want it for $3, it's not going to happen.
I'm not even going to do it at $10 anymore.
It's got to be, I've got to make a few dollars per order or then why am I doing it, right?
That's the whole concept here. I need to stay in business I need to pay bills so once in a while if I
have something that's a little bit pricier I want a little bit pricier so
I can offset all these little guys where I'm only making a buck or two per order
so all right so let's see my orders actually I get two orders so all that
declined but all that kind of declined a bunch of orders.
So we got a power, a 175 watt power supply.
I had one left.
That's for the Xbox 360.
I do have one of my own I kept.
We're gonna do actually some Xbox 360 later on today.
We're gonna list those
and we're gonna look at some GameCubes as well.
I feel comfortable with that. My buddy Roxie is pretty comfortable so I think I can do
a little bit of stuff. And then I have all metal inside of the GameCube set. That's it,
just a couple orders. And I've had a lot of sales going on but, you know, but again sales
don't really matter if you're gonna take the sale
Then cut it half
Even more I'll always have best offers. I have to it's just you can't I couldn't sit here and decide which ones best offers
I don't want so I just do them all and then if it's a pretty basic concept if you give me a really low offer
Or if you half-hack, I just decline automatically normally, I want to say 99.9% of the time I decline.
And there's no reason to counter.
It's not a waste of your time, it doesn't waste my time.
It's a pretty basic concept.
If I don't do an offer, I decline.
And you have five chances.
Most of the buyers will half hack once, and then that's it.
And I don't hear from them again.
So that's why I call them half hackers.
Because they just, they come in, see if they can get a really low offer. But I do it as a buyer.
So I don't half-hack though, but I will try to get some percentages off again. But I really
haven't been purchasing anything in a while. Alright, so that's like it this morning. Let's
see where we're at. About 18 minutes here. Let's take a little bit more look. Let's go back to Parshmark for a minute.
So my main page has a link to YouTube. I've got 20 listings on Parshmark so far. I've got up to
681 followers. So like I said, it's almost like adding a social media to your
to your store really. So I'm really excited about that part. Although
I haven't sold anything, at least I haven't seen anywhere where it says I did sell anything,
would be my offers. There is like, there is offers here. Nope, for purchases, nothing.
My sales, here's my sales. Nope, nothing. But it hasn't cost me to be here so that's
another thing that's all right Etsy Etsy although I'm really slow right now it's
20 cents personal 20 cents per listing and every six months I think they renews
and you think well 20 cents isn't that bad but if you have I have a hundred
and forty seven listings so a 20 cents posting that's you know as as adds up so there is cost here and Etsy so me not
selling anything I'd see for a while is not a good thing if I can at least offset
the cost of putting up 147 things where eBay you don't eBay you know also don't
get you know paying per the listing they're charging you every other way.
If you auction though, then you get like 15 cents per auction.
So I never auction, because auctions are never good for the seller.
One thing, a little more if I think something might go really, really high as an auction,
I might start it out and see where we would go, but besides that I don't do that.
Alright, so that's pretty much it today.
Just a couple orders, so we're gonna work on some GameCube stuff.
Not gonna go outside, or I might though, cause it's gonna get...
We had rain all day yesterday, lots of rain.
But today I think it's gonna clear up.
So maybe I'll pull some more 360s, we'll see.
I got a lot on the go. 99 bottles of beer on the wall, pretty much.
So we're gonna keep plugging away at those.
And now what I'm doing is bringing them in.
I did eight of them yesterday or the day before.
Getting the exact firmware,
knowing if it's a Falcon or the Z,
and writing it and then marking each one.
And then I'm gonna resell.
I found one with 736 on it with the low screen the main screen there the blades or whatever they
call I don't know if it's exact blades but it's one of those one real old ones so we're
gonna list that one today as an exact one and then we'll go from there all
right so you guys have a good Sunday and I will see you tomorrow or you can hear
me tomorrow I should say all right bye
