Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 1/14/2025

Episode Date: January 14, 2025

Rats. This Morning I have an Ebay Item shipped issue. No matter how much detail I do in a listing with over 20 pictures and a Video I still can miss something. Selling Gaming Parts is Extremely Difficult.

Good morning everyone. It is now almost 5 o'clock. 4.48. So yesterday I transferred one motherboard into a cleaner case. Although, now I have no sound. So, I haven't figured out that why. Maybe the speaker. That case and that speaker may not work. I'm not sure. So, I may have to transfer that again. But, I like to keep it nice and clean.

The top and bottom case. The motherboard itself was dirty. So, I cleaned it with some board cleaner so I don't know if that was why I'm not sure but we have one other one I'm gonna transfer not today we'll go on something different oh then I was looking at my PC engine duo which is really cool I need to. It reads the HU cards. Those flat cards. For the PC Engine core. And there's also a Super Graphics. Which I found out when I was doing my systems.

That Super Graphics only had eight games total. And that Super Graphics PC Engine was very rare. I had one. I don't have it anymore. I traded it away. But I did have it for a while and i did make a cool i'm working on a section uh for my categories playlist i guess you call them uh which it says unknown rare system so you can see the random i put anything random of those unknown

ones in that category so there's a whole bunch of them the different ones i've had playing around with them taking them out of the box all that good stuff because i got a whole bunch of them. The different ones I've had. Playing around with them. Taking them out of the box. All that good stuff. I got a lot more of them. I just have to find them. So I'll keep building up that category. That's a cool one. And then that's what else I did yesterday.

I think that was pretty much it. I spent the day with the Game Gear. And a little duo action. And then that was about my day. Oh, I had some orders to do for the weekend, so I did those. So we finished all that up. So yes, it was a good day. Every day is always productive.

I always get a lot of stuff done. Usually from the minute I get up now. Till I go to bed early. At 4.30 at night. And then I. Start over again in the morning. So here we are. Alright so let's see what's going on in the world. So we'll get our news up here. Let's see what's going on.

Alright. let's see what's going on alright oh Cowboys hired Cowboys hired Deion Sanders that's interesting got rid of Mike McCarthy the Vikings got beat up bad today we're going to win so the Rams beat up on the Vikings so so the Rams beat up on the Vikings.

So the Rams make the next step. Vikings unfortunately did not. They were all doing good with Sam Donaldson and something happened. Yeah. So next week is Donald Trump's inauguration that'll be interesting

they better have him under an iron dome let's see the switch to reveals date and release window reportedly leaked still they just keep Browns make first so that's interesting to see

switch to should hear about it. The actual reveal soon. I don't see it being the same Switch. I always say I wanted the Switch box. But we'll see what comes out. The Vikings got beat up. Moving forward, Deion Sanders. That's interesting. so Vikings got beat up moving forward Deion Sanders

that's interesting yeah after a few years as a coach definitely Dallas was going nowhere with Mike McCarthy. Same with Dak Preston. I don't really think that...

He got all that money too. He's terrible. Alright, so let's go on to... So we'll do my Etsy. I had a couple orders yesterday. I had an $8 deposit. I'm still negative on Etsy since I reopened it. But we're getting there.

We'll see. I've got to put in on... I've got to do some more stuff on Etsy. So we'll work on that. So no orders for Etsy over the weekend. Let's see. Let's go to my RSS feed this morning. So today I'm going to do...

Oh, my Magnavox. I found a box of Magnavox, the Odyssey 2. I've already stripped them all. So they're already down to the motherboards in that big front panel keyboard ribbon thing so look at those and I have one original Magnavox Odyssey that I need to go I found or came across so we'll see what that's about take your part to engage and monetize take your part something to watch to the next level so now we're on my my podcast here checking stuff out looking cool let's see what kind of analysis i like to see where where my message in a bottle over the internet goes so I've had 157

downloads in 30 days I've had 278 downloads in all time I've only been doing it for a little while so pretty fun and see I got lots of new dots I got some new dots there's a map that I can see dots for the world of where people have downloaded. And it's really exciting. I love that part. That's the best part of this whole thing is where in the internet ocean my message in bottles go. Australia. Portugal.

Oh, Portugal's a new one. Welcome to any new country. Norway. Very cool. Canada. I like the Germany. Pretty cool. I like that.

I'll always do these daily. Especially these ones in the morning. Coming up with a system or something related to it in the afternoons. It's harder. I'm doing cartridges now although yesterday we learned about super nintendo no no no yesterday we did sega cartridges and um variations of it the sg 1000 was the original cartridge and then we also learned um sega master cartridges and the sega cards are kind of like the Hue cards.

The little thin cards that you go in. You can play games on the Power Base with those. So we did a little of that yesterday. Today I'm going to... I'm not sure where I'm going yet. I did Super Nintendo. Xbox only really gets going until the original Xbox.

I may do PS1. See if I can think of some other systems other than the main three cartridges. Actually, there's a lot of them. Oh, that's what we'll do. We'll do Intellivision today and we'll do Magnavox. The Odyssey. We'll do the cartridges on those

because those are really old ones. I like to start with anything that's the oldest. Then I have some really old dedicated systems, meaning they're just like Pong, and that's all they do, but they're not cartridges. But Intellivision is. I have Intellivision 1 and 2. And I have...

So Magnavox. I got lots of Magnavox. I got lots of Magnavox cartridges. Bought a collection some time ago. A few years ago. Alright, so we're on to YouTube. So let's see where we're going here. Let's check it out. My eBay was slow over the weekend.

So we're going up some more on my um so something i did figure out finally which kind of made me feel much better is so for my subscribers uh 12 396 significantly in 7 28 days i've gone up 7 159 so that's exciting my estimated revenue is 40 but i i finally realized that that 40 is just for this month uh i have a total now of almost uh not quite at the nine uh a couple messages um i have a couple uh so since october i made a few dollars in october and then was all of november i was getting better at it and then december was pretty good so it looks like the average per month uh so far is around 40 so i'm getting close to my first $100 mark after 3 months so let's look at some feedback so someone's got a feedback

it says M-E-X-A H-N upside down K-A I would assume that's some sort of different language I'll just write thank you try to reply to each one I see

just like I do for my eBay and everything that current setup looks depressing if you live this is one of these ones if you had to live your life in a human equivalent of that would feel happy

this guy's needs more space in free roam hamsters ate it actually digging in most My little boy was talking about my hamster. My little buddy Rocket. Oh, these are these hamster people. Oh my god. I have to deal with these again. I got some real old messages about these damn people. My little rock has a nice fun

new home. My little guy my little guy so these are I've got some when I first started doing hamsters and stuff on YouTube I used to get these really bad people that

say oh it's not enough room. It has to be seven inches thick and all that stuff for the stuffing, for those hamsters. Look online. There's lots of people who naturally inspire setups. My little guy has

a fun new home and a fun new home and a fun setup. I just put these guys because they entertain me. These hamster people. They look online and they tell you

to go here and do this and do that. It's got to have seven inches. It needs more room to roam. It's got three levels. It's's funny so please a little guy I saw that's all right so let's go to eBay so if I can find those old hamster I was getting bashed all my hamsters cuz I didn't matter how big you put something in, they still say it's not big enough. It's some crazy stuff. There's a whole anti-hamster. A rigamarole out there.

I'd have to have it in, I don't know how big I'd have to have it in. Plus he's really little and he's really fast, so he's not easy to move. I almost lost him we're gonna make a short out of that video during that video when I was first putting together I almost lost him but we'll find the blood of the dawn maker all right so let's go on to eBay let's see it's really been quiet we had a really quiet weekend but I haven't really been quiet. We had a really quiet weekend, but I haven't really been... Oh, I did list some stuff.

So, we'll see. Oh, offer received. Oh, no. I have no money for that. Alright, let's see what's going on. Oh, I had some guy offer me $4 yesterday. This

is never going to work with this broken tab. What's going on? Oh, crap. Now I got someone complaining about something. Is the board fine? Is it already

being installed? It comes with so it feels like I a try so looks like I'm gonna get a problem here Is it a broken tab? I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah. aware of any issue with the tab. I detailed that with as many photos and video as I could. What tab have to do with it working? What tab have to do with it working what do you want me to do it's not we have any issue with the tab I do that with many photos sometimes something, which I did. I count on the buyer

to review every bit of detailed info on the listing also. All right, so she says there's a broken tab. All right, it says, and it was not where I had any issue with the tab. I detailed that with as many photos and video as I could. Sometimes I just miss something. I didn't notice any broken tab.

What does a tab have to do with it working? Do with it working? Question mark. working question mark I count on the buyer to review every bit of detail info on the listing also also what do you want me to do?

So, I got a casualty I got to work on. It has been shipped. Okay. I will refund. I don't trust that guy at all. But. You do. eBay. eBay offers it.

This guy was asking about an APO, which is a, I believe it's a military address. eBay offers it as an option when checking out. Checking out. eBay offers it as an option when checking out. So, that means see it's a couple of orders and then I have I'm just gonna get that guy normally I'll just refund automatically I can maybe afford it yeah I can afford it so usually when the buyer I don't trust this i normally just refund no matter what

and then i just take back whatever i get and oh yeah i'm gonna do a refund returns a category playlist some things i've gotten back it's been pretty ugly oh i think i see a bad feedback here too that's one of those days. No. It's feedback sorry for now. And then I have something that I think. I ordered something real expensive. It was an Apple monitor. I wasn't going to do it.

And I have not seen in a week and a half it shipped. I have a feeling it was over in that California area. So I paid a lot of money for it too. And I California area. So I paid a lot of money for it too. I feel bad but I want to get my money back. I think that's where it's from. I'm not positive. But it hasn't been shipped. I've since now contacted the buyer once to say hey you know it's been

a week here. Why isn't this getting shipped and I haven't heard anything. I have a really bad feeling because the last three orders were all from California. Unfortunately a lot of them are in that area. i don't know the other two things shipped but that one hasn't and it's a big amount all right so and i have not heard any back so i feel really bad if it is something like that but unfortunately i can't afford to not get refunded for returns. Alright, so we'll go to returns. So I'll give him his money back.

Let's see. Return details. Doesn't work. It worked fine. Refund. I'm probably going gonna get back something not good but we'll just do what we gotta do it's just easy to refund and you really there's no really no way to fight it if it's something that didn't come back I mean you can but I never usually do it I just give the money back and then I have

my YouTube if it's really bad I'll i'll complain and talk about it on youtube i make videos and i don't show the actual buyer one time i did with the shipping labels on there and i didn't realize it and he it was something somebody gave me something really bad and they were embarrassed and they were like take that down i don't want my name on there, my address. So I make sure I, when I do the, uh, complain returns or refund returns, especially if it's something that's not what I shipped, I usually I'll retest it. And I look for my, uh, usually I put some sort of a security tag, but I don't think I did on this one. So I'll never know, but we'll retest it. And then we'll do a video on it and it doesn't work and I'll complain about it. And it's a place for me to vent. So that's how I do it. But I just make sure there's no marking of the buyers shipping label on there. Therefore, they just know who it is.

Alright, so I have four orders. I refunded them to the orders. Let's see what we got for orders this morning. Pretty cool. Simple stuff. Xbox 360. The S1439. and bottom, chrome, the chrome, silver and trim. 4-pin, my NIDEC Xbox 360 fat. The NIDC fans are supposed to be quieter, but I don't know. So I got one of those. Another Super Fancom or Super Nintendo motherboard cartridge slot.

And I have PS2, oh, a 5000 top cover. Yeah, not the 39 or the three five or the ten bottom screw so those are my four four little orders not much but it's a little bit and then today we'll go on to i'll pick up i'm gonna again i'm gonna do in television for my cartridges get a little idea how the coating goes for that i mean just get a kind of an idea. It's not really giving me the whole coding itself, but I always learn something new. Like, to Super Nintendo, I learned about Mode 7.

That's where that 2D graphics turned into 3Ds using certain ways they did it. So that was a big thing I learned. Code 7. So, maybe we'll learn something new about television. 1 and 2, and I'll do Magnavox too. So, was a big thing I learned. Code 7. So maybe we'll learn something new about television. 1 and 2 and I'll do Magnavox too. So kind of in the same

era there. Early stuff. The earlier the better I start out with. Alright, so you guys have a good afternoon and we'll see what we'll come up with later on. Alright, talk to you later. Bye.
