Testing 2 Nintendo SNES Sound Box Motherboard with Burn in CartridgeMy Weekly Morning Trip To Johnny Cake Center Vegetable Stand until September

Good morning, everyone. It is now 5.59 a.m. Today is August the 7th, 2025, and it is Thursday. So the work week's almost done. The other day, well, two days to go. Then we'll be on a weekend again. Work weeks go by so fast. It's pretty funny.

But we've got a cool stretch here in Rhode Island, the weather. Nothing, no storms, nothing. Even in all, New England's been pretty stable for the last few days anyway. But hurricane season, I can, it's been watching. Forecasts, they're starting to show a lot more than brewing. So, unfortunately, someplace, somewhere, someone's going to get really wrecked. Probably multiple times in different areas. We here in New England are way overdue for hurricane. Not that I'm jinxing myself. Not that I'm worried that we don't get one you never know it's just that time that season really doesn't kick

in until end of August September that's when the peak of the storms are so let's hope for the best but prepare for the worst I always have to so yesterday I went to yesterday oh yesterday I worked on some more listing for eBay I also found my Super Nintendo power adapter so I was able to test the two Super Nintendo's I have one works one does not and they both the soundbox I tested both sound boxes those work all the cartridge slots that I had those work so the one motherboard just has no video I did not test out of RF though I only tested through audio video which is what most people are using for but super Nintendo out of RF is actually pretty cool

as well just like the Nintendo all right so and then I got a box in End of the day, which has two N64s and a Super Nintendo. So that'll be my major one, not major, but that'll be the project we do. I had a return open yesterday from a buyer that purchased, that was the Tenda GameCube lens assembly, the motor and the gears, and it delivered to that buyer back on June 26th. yet he opened to return yesterday saying that a gear is broken so I contacted the buyer I'm like so you got it way back in June 26 yet now you're opening a

return so I don't understand it usually returns are open as soon as they get the package they open it and then there's something that's not right but either way I had to take the return it's saying I did something wrong there's really no such thing is no returns but at least I can accept or decline them. It's just something simple like a change mine or something. I'm not going to take it back once you're paid for it. But they're saying I did something wrong. I don't know. I don't remember gear of one of those assemblies not being there. I'm sure I'm going to get one back that's going to be broke with a broken gear after two months. But I have to do what I got to do.

So we'll check out. I actually also have one, two, three, four returns piled up that we're going to do a video on today on the motherboard that's the recent one and then the other ones I forget what they are a couple more change mines stuff we'll do a return I dreaded eBay returns a video that may be on my docket today first thing we're going to do look at those three systems that I got or open up the two n64s definitely oh actually and the Super Nintendo maybe I get one that's a not sound box we find out yeah let's see what outside so it's going on this morning oh yesterday

I also did a video to uh to uh oh I went to the farmer's bucket yesterday and we look I did a lot longer video about a three-minute video just kind of hanging out waiting a line there it's only good till the end of September no I don't even think it's the end of August used to they used to go to October it's awesome but then they now I've changed it so we're looking through the news Kremlin says agreement in a couple days the two big guys will get together that'd be interesting Creaky Friday. The second one looks pretty funny, actually.

Good for Lindsay Lohan. She came back around again. That's pretty awesome. I like her. I was something here yesterday that we're supposed to be building a nuclear facility on the moon by 2030. I'm always a comparison theory that we've never been to the moon. And they even tried, even in the last few years, they've even tried to get things to land on the mood without people on it,

and then they keep crashing and tipping over. So you can't tell me that 50 years ago we went to the moon. I just don't see it. And then we've never been there since. And yet in both of tour, 20, 25, in five years, we're going to put a nuclear facility on the moon. some craziness although I am involuntary myself to go to Mars I'd like to be the person there

thinking we're gonna we'll all die somewhere so I'd like to be that one that goes to Mars the one-way trip of course right just get things set up for the next generations and stuff I do see us making it to Mars at some point

but yeah so I definitely would volunteer there after my next life 10.3 as I'm calling it right now I'm in 9.0 life got there's something happens my mother I have to go into a whole new direction after that and that would be like my life probably my last life 10.3 so we're gonna do a lot more fun stuff then we're gonna change everything up so I may I'm hoping that they're gonna have some sort of a volunteer to go to Mars campaign somewhere online

and at that point I'll be on my own a lot of my animals of course but there's nothing no one behind me I'm in the end of the line for me

so I could easily volunteer myself to do something like that not a problem I would do well under a tight spot I think

positive we'll see but right now we're doing videos all right so we're looking through um i started watching some paramount plus stuff last night um i'm into star track Picard i just started watching that again from the beginning i only watched a few series of it i watched the star track stranger strange strange new worlds okay now what's the first the pilot oh you know what i watch us with I'm wearing into now the Yellow Jackets. Always wanted to watch that.

Now I understand the whole concept of the series. I just watched the first pilot of Yellow Jackets. Pretty creepy. Pretty cool. Kind of understand the concept. I'm not sure where it's going, but it's a flashback between the soccer team in the past, and then the ones that were left in the future as adults.

I only watched the first episode, so Yellow Jackets. Okay. All right, we're on Etsy. Nothing going on. I survived a problem on Etsy, so that's cool. It turned into good two good five-stop feedback, so I expect that I was going to have to take a return on something. All right, so let's see. Hushmark. in our normal routine of just checking how many followers i have don't do more with this but i don't know what it is yeah right now it's just all about ebay just bolking it up building some hurting bombs as i call it if you can if you know what that that uh it's from let me it's from a movie let's go build some hurt and bombs

So I have 1,125 followers on Pushmark. Not a sale to be had. But again, it's really mostly closed here. But they do have electronics and stuff. No walkers, nothing. But it doesn't cost to be here, so we can just keep letting it ride. all right so let's see so looking through the nose a little bit all right so let's go to my rSS feed we had that

really cool download day a couple days ago 351 downloads i was like what yesterday we didn't have any downloads so it must have been some sort of a freak thing That's fun, though. And I am monetized here on RSS on my podcast. Sorry for any commercials. It's just trying to make a few bucks where I can. But I've been extended my videos. I had one video yesterday.

One download. Pretty cool. Ashburn, always, which is awesome. Toronto, McKinney, Chicago. So nothing international right now. mostly all just the United States but my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go so it's always fun to see where it ends up dealing and I have been adding two links so yes they added my lawnmower link and the link to the tear down of my n64 that was a mess we also had

the buyer follow me over to it for the comment saying he the listing was at accurate so she said didn't seem had no idea about any rust and corrosion to the extent it was that I got it all right so let's go to YouTube always try to say okay all right so we've been growing but now I have to put the breaks on promoting every time I do a video I'm like oh I want to promote that but so we have 62,000, 349 subscribers, which is pretty awesome. We've gone up 13,154 in the last 28 days. Ooh, and my revenue is almost getting, it's $38,3.

So me, that's the most exciting part. I could never crack $30 a month. So maybe I'll get the $40. My view hours significantly going up to $257.2K, it's the views rather and then the watch hours are 1.1k although if I don't promote I only get

one of my videos was 10 10 views so even with all these subscribers I still can't get lots of views 14 views I had unless I promote something then I get significantly amount so the three that I promoted

one of well some of the three some of the promotions my tandy 1,000 tear down 2.1k views shooting the shit and organizing in the backyard 2K views the sealed S25 2K views and let's see if any of the comments there was a comment see in comments comment through zero yes no comments it's just the ones I already had nothing new for comments you have the one like I said with the seller followed me was this seller here described as follows and then I replied to his but he got his five full-star feedback so I just talk about what I get and so we'll talk about the three that we'll do the video a little bit and of course I'm gonna want to promote

this one too but I can't I can't but I can I think I'm in this month at about a buck 60 already for promotions but it's really got me far which is really exciting and but it's just not ticking up enough monetarily I was hoping way before this that the amount of subscribers would give me more views from in turn get my income up I would like to be well over $100 a month by now but I'm not close so like you can't get paid until you get a hundred bucks and one of the things I want I would love that Google will be able to do if I can't get to my $38.3 that I've made so far I would use that towards my promotions right I can't use it I can't get at it I just try to

throw back into promotions and try to keep building So at least get, we're making $100 a week a month, $100 a week would be awesome. And so on and so forth. But right now, but we are climbing a little bit, taking a lot of promotions. Again, I think I was in like $1,000 since I started promoting. And I've made $256 back. And we're at $38, so almost $300 back. so I'm still negative 7-hunger.

But it's just like when I do eBay, do what we're going to go right now. I upfront invest, you have to just, meaning I buy systems up front, and then I list stuff after that, and then I get money back over time. So upfront investing is kind of what I've been doing for,

uh, uh, uh, uh, YouTube for putting all those, that money up front for, promotions hope on that some date. Well,

yeah, I'm not going to stack anything. All right, so $9. $9. $9. I'm really low offer. So, so.

That is. Alright, so you want to be to unstack my thing. So you have to be to unstack my thing. Sorry, no, I'm not unstacked. I can show you the video of the video. of this tested inside a thousand on my YouTube channel I'll find the video so if I can find the video wanted me to unstack this is for the 101,000 my triple stack expansion

thirty dollars stevely subtesteading yeah I think I think too I already got 30 that all the street so let's so that's it so I don't have any sales this one which is fine we're going to listing some more stuff I always do not often every day now I have to get more stuff listing because my sales are less because I got rid of free shipping and free returns but of course there's always going to be turn so I need to compensate for that by putting tons of more stuff I can't just sell little teeny gaming parts anymore which is not happening at all actually right now because everyone wants me to ship oh even if it's set of screws for $9

for free shipping can't do that no more I'd rather just not do it I can't make I can't ship at my least amount of $14 I'm not going to do it It's just not worth it I went years with free shipping Making a dollar per most of my listings Or two And still

I still gave it the same amount of effort To get it in to get it out On the same day And plus the whole world Is going so much higher I can't stay at that Low amount It's just not possible.

I mean, it is possible. I'm doing a different direction. It's kind of working, and in some way it's kind of not working, but we're just going to keep mass listing. I think I've got 1,285 listings so far. I want to get up to, I want to bulk it up to 2,000. But in order to do that, I have to really push stuff through each day, but I have to do it faster.

I can only detail as quick as I can detail. But sometimes you get things listed, you get this you get a conversation going may not happen today may not happen tomorrow but as long as it's up that means that someone's looking at it somewhere or not so we didn't want to take that at all let's see what else we got going on is let's check yeah so first thing we're going to do after I get all my buddies and everything done is we are going to work on that box it came check it out and that's really that's my last system thing for

this month whatever that is that's what I'm I got to find my other n64 power adapter I don't know what the heck I put it so we'll figure that out so yeah so I do have one return coming in but they're not going to be offered just free for anybody to do you have to contact me through a return request and if it's something you're saying that I did wrong I have to take I can't not I can't say no I didn't know it should have been but when you when someone when a buyer opens a return months later that usually means something's up right and it's from some sort of a wireless company or something you know those kind of places those

you fix it kind of places those wireless companies they tend to just throw me back to a junk months later it hasn't happened a while but there'd be no reason there'd be no reason I could think of somebody as soon as I ship you something you would open it and if you're buying parts if you're a company wireless company so you're fixing somebody's thing so as soon as you got the box you're opening it and you're fixing the your customer's project and if right at that point you when you open that box If you saw one of the gears in there was missing teeth, you would open a return.

That would make sense. Not two months later. Two months later, you're probably looking through your inventory, like, hey, let's see if you can just return this. Get some money back. Right? And, of course, I'm always going to take the return. I will never just, I will never just refund you because if you're telling me I did something wrong, A, I want to get it back.

And of course, I'll video it when I do my other returns. I let them pile up a little bit now. So I just doing a video for just one return. Although we'll really get that many before free returns. And now without free returns, hopefully I won't get that many. So, yeah, I definitely want to get it back. So I'm going to have to eat the shipping. Either I refund you directly and don't pay for their shipping return,

or I'd rather get it back and talk about it, make videos of it. See where you're saying there's a I'm sure it has a missing gear in it now But I would have no idea if I ship one that had a missing gear But the odds But the fact that it was a two-month delay Of opening in return for that is so sketchy And maybe maybe for two months you never finished the project And he finally opened it, I don't know

I'm just saying what I Of course I always have to assume the worst It's just selling them you bet it's hard but I could have been me I can't that's why I took the return and then we'll talk about when I comes back do like to talk about stuff like to see we're gonna do another offer yeah so this is always good so this guy do I have an offer untested wireless I have it down I have it I had had had a pie this is for a CDI the Phillips CDI it's untested DVS I had it as far as high

as $85 for the controller then we took off 30% which knocked it down to $59 And, of course, that doesn't really mean anything because buyers are, this buyer is hacking me down to $30, which is another half off of that $59. It was a half hacker. And I just, some days I just can't deal with half hackers. Even after I've already given you 35% off, you still want to half hack me down. But I'll always have best offers. So, you know, it's just an addition. I'm not going to take away my best offers

while doing sales because sometimes I will take a little bit more off. But I don't have to take best offers. Even if I don't have sales, I don't need to take a best offer. It's a half hack. This isn't a one-hit wonder because he just did a second offer

for another $10, I think, yeah. So maybe I would take away five bucks off. And I just decided I just don't want to do, especially if you're way off like that. And I have 30% off for our sales. I don't want to counter. I just don't want to deal with it. It's just a very simple concept. If I have 30% off something and then you're half hacking another 50% off of that, I'm just going to decline.

And then if you add $10, I'm still going to decline. So you have five tries. If I don't like the offers, I just decline a pretty basic concept. And again, we're starting with 30% off on the sale. So, and is it worth that? I think it's worth $60. Most of them, they're hard to find. That one's hard to find.

And as anything with Phillips, the CDI is the expensive stuff. All right, everyone. Sell as I get for this morning. So we'll go on to some projects. I'm a workbench that I'm on today. Once I get myself all organized for the morning, I'll have any other projects besides that. So you guys have a wonderful day,

and I will talk to you tomorrow. All right, bye.
