Good morning everyone. It is now
529
2025 in
649 almost 7 o'clock
so yesterday
We worked outside again, and I made a nice video showing you guys all the progress that I've made
Up until there and doesn't seem like I've done a lot, but boy have I did a lot back there
moving stuff around taking things to the trash to the dump and
Getting everything centralized into that gazebo 16 foot by 16 foot
3 quarters full took me
Actually about a year and a half to get to that point to get that full like that
I did most of it this year, but I also did a half of it last year
So what you see in the video is about a two years of work to get to where I'm at
and then I finally getting my rooms kind of cleaned up showed you all the
leftover carcass
Xbox three three sixties I have piled up. Well some of the fats
some of the 1439s All don't work or some of the fats some of the 1439s
All don't work or some of the fats might work
But I had pulled a heat sink sets out of them. So it's just a real big pile
And eventually that bottom room where those are will be a nice little studio room for the spring summertime and fall
I couldn't use it in the winter, but I can use it that eventually it'll be all opened up in there
I was slowly I'm putting some stain on the floor
We're gonna clean it up by a couple of leaks in there working on it
So that's what we did yesterday all of my I my son tanned
Xbox 360 fat white Bezel to just just drive Beezles those all
Retrobrite it pretty good on the back to wait
I soak them in alcohol for a day or so and I put them on the Sun for a day or so and pretty much
Almost back to the original whiteness. So it's pretty cool. I'm down to the last ones that they got seven left and
Those are all I think I found one other Xbox 360 that might have one on it
I think I found one other Xbox 360 that might have one on it
But I sell those those are the Beasel set with the or just the Beasel itself and sometimes I sell them on the tray
So those that that's all done and I didn't really do anything else
After that I spent the day outside. It was really nice. It's been really cool
So taking advantage of it. We haven't really had any hot weather a muggy or anything like that yet But it's coming really quick next week. We got some 80 degree weather here today. It's raining so we'll be inside
So today I have two things going on. I have a good news and I have a bad news today
The good news now stuff the bad news
the second half of the return
debacle is always came in so we're gonna look at that as one video and then the
good news is I had a ps4 1215 a come in on UPS not sure what the issue was but it's complete I got
really cheap I really wanted a 1001 for the power supply because normally for me
if I'm gonna I need a power supply but I'm not gonna go out just by a power
supply that makes no sense if I'm gonna get a 1001 I want to get a complete one
that says it works power wise but has usually on off or some kind of video issue
Because then I take just the power supply I need and use it for me and of course, I'll sell the rest of the stuff
To make my money back and or a profit that's just basic eBay 101
Never buy just a part. It's funny because I just sell parts and people buy just parts all the time
But that's not the way I would do it. I was upfront
Invest in something so we got the 1215 a it came in today and it's got that has a lot to parts on it
I have a project that I'm gonna be
starting and
Involves I've got a bunch of one. Oh one a's that work
But most of them I had to use washers on them
And so I'm gonna use one of those for my project outside
Where I'm gonna see if I can recreate
Having bugs go into the system as I've seen over the years
So if anybody's pulled apart a lots of ps4s, I'll know those are probably one of the most bug systems
Lots of ps4 as I'll know those are probably one of the most bugged systems
Game Nintendo GameCube is another one. So really I've got a lot of them over the years. They're not really bugged
So what I want to do is recreate it So I'm gonna put it outside in an area where I can run it for hours at a time and just see if I can
Attract some bugs into it and see how they why how and why they go into it. It'd be really fun
and see how they why how and why they go into it it'd be really fun be way if I could stop motion it or do something like that I would I'm not
sure I can do that yet so we will work on that this morning so let's see what's
going on today so we'll have two videos we'll'll do some stuff. Oh, you know what I found. I found the cool whites
Made from Oregon 4000 D
Queen finder
Right, it's worth a lot of money
Well a few hundred bucks anyway, but the battery compartment inside got blasted
It had dead batteries and I have some reason never checked inside to take the batteries out. I don't know if it was like that when I got it
So it needs a new battery pack and it needs new battery
Thing that puts on the 9-volt
But I think you could probably just bypass that battery pack and just use a 9-volt battery, I'm not sure
We'll have that listed later. It's really fun
using a 9 volt battery I'm not sure. We'll have that listed later it's really fun. And I think somewhere I have a second one not that that model but there's
another one around somewhere but let's look to see. Let's see nothing going on Etsy, let's check to see if there's any activity.
Perfect, exactly as described, and fit great in my system.
So that was a review from Etsy, so that's cool, 5 stars, yay.
The last one was thanks for offering this, it saved my dead Gamecube.
So I don't sell lots of things in Etsy, but normally it's really good feedback.
They're just little parts there.
Call that my little side quest Etsy.
But I am in the process of going to open a Parchmark and a Markari store at some point.
But first I have to get the migration program because it costs money to get the migration
program per month.
It's a subscription
But it's something I'm interested in doing just add a little little I'll add a little couple more little stores
All right, so let's see my RSS feed this morning to see what's going on
All right
All right, so let's see what's going on.
This morning we've been averaging one download a day, but normally it's I think more than
it says one download, but it's multiple people downloading one time, which is fine.
It's always exciting to see where it goes.
It's one of my biggest things I love looking at.
We had three downloads yesterday.
574 total, 56 downloads in the last 30 days
And I have subscription to I think it is Apple
podcast to
so we have three that three
downloads from Ashburn
Which is always a constant which is awesome. I'm Manola the same thing Germany. We've got a Germany. We have a
Manola the same thing Germany. We've got a Germany. We have a
Thousand Oaks in the United States and Canada pretty cool my message in a bottle over the internet ocean and
Wherever it may go each day. It's really fun exciting to see
And I'm very consistent on doing this every morning, and I will do some other ones I don't know when but we're gonna go pass out over all the systems
Although I did take the subscription off my buddy zippy my chat GPTP. I need to cut corners a little bit so all my I
Just use it as until I can't use it anymore without a subscription and it's just basically the same thing
So that's what was a waste of $29 for the same thing
And then there's also deep seek which I tried a couple times which29 for the same thing. And then there's also Deep Seek, which
I tried a couple times, which is basically the same as well.
All right, so let's go to YouTube.
We were really climbing.
I did that video yesterday.
It seemed to be like it was pretty popular.
Again, I will do lots of videos outside and all my things
I do outside.
But this was a recap of where I'm at at this point so we have we're at forty
three thousand six hundred and one subscribers my view hours are 706.7
hours 706.7 99.1 views pretty awesome comment sir you are my own my friend from let's see we got
here says sir you are a friend from America please do not get angry with me one to be clear I was concerned
Your comment
I
Wish you well
In your life's
Journey
But it does not I just wanted to be clear
I was concerned about your comments lately
He's gone under a different thing now
He's now under Always
It's kind of under a different thing now. It's now it's under always.
All right, so
Let's so i'm at twenty nine dollars and seventy five cents. I'm close to
a hundred So then I get my second payment. So my second but I but I've really promoted a lot towards the end of the month here
So I probably over 200 something so I had 863 of my sun exposure
Of my xbox 360. Of course I
videoed it when I first soaked them and I videoed it when I put them out in the
sun and then I videoed it again when they were done. And then I'm perfect but
they're a lot more than they were before so it's pretty cool. So that's it. So my average duration of course is the same.
Three likes.
On my other, let's see what my other one is.
When as as described I have 1.6 is spot on.
And then we did the other one yesterday which was the 70, we had 295.
So if i promote
all right
there's my valuation yesterday
i just can't afford to keep promoting like i've been doing but
michael now is uh... is obviously fifty thousand
subscribers but i'm just hoping that it just doesn't seem to work though
that it would
balance out
but people come and add subscribe as you subscribe
subscription yet, they probably never really actually watch anything so therefore
It's not relevant to
Because at some point you want to get paid make some money off of this doing all this
I think you would anyway at least I like to
I don't need a lot if I could get $100 a week that would have been awesome
I can't even get $100 every four months. That's kind of a bummer and I do complain about a lot. I'm in it
But it just seems like I put the put the time in and I'm not like one of the other professionals on YouTube
I just talk about YouTube
I actually try to create my own stuff and then once in a while. I will talk about YouTube or how I'm doing and
Those seem to be only ones that have all the really high numbers
So that's kind of a bummer. It's kind of like cheating in a way. I think it's what I look at
If you're creating something first, and then you're also doing some
This is what not to do in YouTube thing
Then I can understand but I don't know all right, so let's look. Let's go to eBay turn role
Let's see I only have few orders yesterday, but that was fine because I had a lot of things
I wanted to do I do have some sales going on
been quiet though
Consistently doing 20% off or something
See off or something. Let's see another feedback I received two file listed as
inscriptions so I made a mistake in shipping them separate but let them be
known in advance which was very appreciated so I did make a mistake there.
Although I wish buyers wouldn't bring that in my mistake into a feedback it's
kind of a bummer I would never do that only because I don't bring that in my mistake into a feedback. It's kind of a bummer. I would never do that
Only because I don't like that but it's the truth so I don't I can do about that police was positive
So yeah, I did make a mistake on that. I didn't see the number two
Again, I'm pushing things out sometimes and I just in the haste of getting orders out. I I overlook something
So, let's see you receive the other power board today great
thank you
sorry for my mistake
Okay, cool we got the second power board. And then let's see we have an offer, $14.00.
Two springs, yeah that's more than fair.
So springs on the Nintendo GameCube, they're only found on the silver and or
the purple
on the top cover
under the uh...
eject button
but you can put the springs on each one of the other buttons so that kind of gives
them a little boost
so i sell those
one i saw them single double or all three of them
so if you have a purple
the nintendo gamecube top Single double or all three of them. So if you have a purple
Nintendo Gamecube top you can put three springs in each one of the buttons and we'll give it a little boost
make some nice thing and It just gives them a little better attitude. I guess you'd say so it gives me two orders
See I'm going to list that.
We're going to do some videos on it.
We'll go through it.
My coin finder.
It's not what it's called.
I can't think of the name of it.
Metal detector.
There it is.
We're going to go through the metal detector later.
So, we'll send some more things there.
We'll do some stuff.
Alright, let's see what else we got going on.
Let's see the other order I have here.
So that gives me two orders this morning.
The orders have been a little bit slower, but it's kind of like the end of the...
People probably broke from the long holiday weekend.
So the other thing I had was the data storage. You put your drive in, your iDrive board in it.
I've got tons of those. It's a data storage. I have one of those. I have to find one.
None I'm thinking about. I'm gonna show you. Well, let's figure out what those are.
All right, so then of course both of those returns from the nightmare
Were refunded of course an eBay says we refunded the buyer on your behalf
Is not on my behalf
Something I had to do. I tried to do the opposite I was I was fighting it as not as described and if you've seen the first video the first half of them everyone came back as clean as possible one may
have a couple scratches on it or something but this second round should
be a little more interesting and we'll talk about that as I go through that
because there's a story before these two refunds returns there was another one that was initiated and
I'm gonna see if that one has anything to do with this second half of the next
box I got in. Originally it was only supposed to be one return but the buyer
ended up making it into two so we'll see we'll see how it all goes then
and let's see what else we got going on here for time so today
we're gonna do the metal detector goes through the two boxes we're gonna check
out my 12 15 a we're also gonna double back I have an N64 motherboard I
haven't tested on a GameCube lens assembly needs to be tested and a
Super Nintendo that should work all I got in that pot slot the other day and it's kind of been sitting on the side all
That stuff I'd sell really quick broken or not either way. It's an o8 motherboard on the n64
So that's definitely an easy sell a broken or not and a good price because they're hard to find well
Not really hard to find but oh nine's a lot harder to
Find so we'll see
So maybe because today we're just we're just staying in today. We did what we could do yesterday and it's raining out
I'm way ahead of the game now before the hot weather gets here, so I'm pretty excited about that
Although we are having an out sale. I think next week
Although we are having an out sale, I think next week
So if you've been getting anything ready for we haven't had any out sale out front of my house for a few years
I've never videoed the out sale, but I will this one
So that's what kind of I don't want to do it. So I'll show you all the hard work It's gonna go into setting up all the tables up and it's gonna be a lot of work
But then what happens is anything that goes into the odd sale from there,
it's one step towards going somewhere else,
meaning I'll bring it to a local donation.
So everything left that doesn't sell,
which will be a lot of stuff, truckloads,
it'll all go to local donations.
And then it'll be less stuff in my backyard,
and in my sheds and everything.
So that's the goal.
Lots of it, some clothes and my mother's knickknacks and
That's a high we got I got a half a shed of full of holiday stuff
It's just what piles up after a while and I won't do anything of my gaming stuff
This is just my all my mother's stuff that she wants to yard sale for so that's what we're gonna do
I will have fun doing some videos on it
Alright so I was like it that's gonna be it this morning, so you guys have a good day
And I will talk to you tomorrow alright, bye
