Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 2/4/2025

Episode Date: February 4, 2025

I was Jammed up all day Yesterday.

Good morning everyone. It is now a little after 6, 6.08. So yesterday was a bit of a different day for me. I ended up spending all day, I had to recycle all the stuff I brought up from the basement. And then I was downstairs trying to organize that. And I was looking for two orders that I spent all day. Small little parts orders. And I just couldn't find um either one so unfortunately i had to i had to refund the buyer two buyers yesterday because i just couldn't find i spent hours trying to find

specific little parts i just couldn't find them i hate to have to refund them it does not there's no good on your account when you when you cancel But I just couldn't find them. So I never, I spent the whole day from the minute I got up yesterday morning after I did my podcast doing orders, which pretty much took me all day. A lot of times it's about finding the orders that I got. There was a little couple of things I just couldn't get. And then I had all the recycled stuff to bring to the transfer station. And then I was organizing. Now that I had that space down below in my basement. From all that stuff I took out.

I was trying to move some stuff around. While always trying to look for two parts for orders. I just. I failed. I just couldn't find them. And then before I knew it was four o'clock. And I was like. I didn't even do my second podcast. Because I still haven't come up with an idea yet.

And I was like, I'm just tired. I was pretty beat by then. So we just shut it down. We just did just the, well, we do my early morning one, Groundhog Day. But some days I just can't get to the second one. But we will. We'll figure out something. I had to come up with a new routine of something to do midday.

But for now, we got my Groundhog Day. Give you an idea of what's going on for the day. Or the day before. And like I said yesterday, I even... There's not a place in my house where there's not a room that's not full of gaming stuff. And racks of stuff with gaming. My bathroom is another example. So I pulled all my bathroom apart.

Lots of racks in there. Anywhere I could stuff a rack and put gaming stuff on it, that's what I do. It's kind of a mess, but if you want to sell a lot of gaming parts, you have to have stuff. And if you want to have stuff, if you want to sell stuff, you want to sell stuff you need to put it somewhere so therefore that's why it's everywhere so i looked i dug i dug through the bathroom uh cabinets trying to find what i was looking for but no luck so i had to contact both of those seller buyers and say sorry i just can't find them and unlike the buyer who just canceled my order on me without letting me know I let him know I just say sorry I just can't find it this last thing I want to do is have to cancel an order because you know it's money I have to

give back and I disappointed buyer and I don't like to do that but sometimes I just I just couldn't find it all, so let's see what's going on yesterday, this morning here. Alright, let's see. Let's look in the new... Let's see what we got for the news. China hits back with levies. So we're doing this tariff thing now.

Interesting. Deep Sync downloads to criminal, I think it's gonna be 20 meter. Oh, the Deep Sync. I do have Deep Sync though. Says you can't download it now. What's that all about? The meta 70% crash, what went wrong? Meta 70% crash. What went wrong?

Meta. Again, that's why you need to have your own little home base. Survival hustle, as I call it. Alright, so I'm not really seeing anything in the news. Okay. all right so I'm not really seeing anything in the news all right so let's go on to oh yeah we had the big audience down Etsy which was cool it really really helped me out any any order again I live order by order so

so that was my biggest order ever had an Etsy, which was awesome. No orders today and hopefully That was deposited Let's see. Yeah, it was cool Yay so So nothing going on that see today I have to I have a subscription that I'm paying for and I haven't been using it. Which is called Cart2Cart.

And so I can migrate listings from eBay over to Etsy. But I am not going back to it. I just can't keep it. Well, I can keep it running, but it's an extra. All these subscriptions are at least $20 a month. And that's just another one added on to it.

Alright, so let's go to rss feed so i didn't do anything yesterday uh for my midday my first time i missed out on that originally i started doing i was doing three three a day but it's really really hard to keep track of that keep pace with that rather so i only did was doing two and I wanted to keep doing two but I just my desk was a mess. I had no room or anything so I just never got to it. So we only had the one

download, just three downloads. It's not like we're getting a million viewers there anyway or readers. Listeners I should say. I'm sorry, listeners. But I try to be consistent when I start something, I like to keep consistent on it. Same with my YouTube, we're going to check that in a minute. Normally I do a couple videos a day, but yesterday

I didn't do any. But I had done a lot on Sunday, I put many hours on Sunday. So yesterday was just trying to catch up on orders and other stuff I had to do. So I can't do it every single day. But I usually do, though. All right. So let's go to YouTube then. So I had three downloads and I never did my second podcast. So let's see what YouTube's got going on here.

Sometimes they say not doing videos every day is a good thing so all right so we're at um 16 518 subscribers pretty cool uh comment whoa that's a lot of circuit boards oh. Let's see. Oh, that's the GameCube lens assembly testing. I found a hidden stash. I found a hidden stash that I had. I didn't know I had it.

Actually, it's all that GameCube stuff from the video yesterday. It's just sitting on my desk. I haven't moved it at all or done anything on my desktop. From yesterday. My revenue is at $28.10. The other thing is I've kind of got to the point now where no matter how much I pump out stuff, it's really never going to make much of a difference. So therefore, my motivation is slowly getting less and less for doing videos and stuff. I mean,

I'll still do them, but I'm just spinning my wheels basically. Because at some point, you really need to get paid for all your work. i think you do and i think i do pretty good content i try to but it just it's just at the point now where then i thought i had a hundred dollars uh so i finished the payment setup uh for google and then it said now i'm only at 76 dollars so i'm like what the flip I get so I'm not even going to get a payment this month so I'm just kind of like blah I'm kind of almost over it now I think I'm not really sure I'll keep doing but I gotta do some other stuff so I promoted a couple of my videos but only for five dollars I'm down to five dollar promotions that's about it I think I did one for ten dollars again I got stopped doing that too because

it's just you either come to see the videos or you don't but we'll see so we're kind of yesterday was a kind of a off day so I woke up and kind of an off mood here this morning all right so let's go check ebay all right so hopefully i won't buy this once in a while if you cancel the order even if you say sorry i just can't find it um you may get a negative or neutral feedback because you did that say because they'll say something like oh you didn't have it you shouldn't list it or something uh sometimes i just can't find it. It's those little things.

It's those little things that I couldn't find. All right, so we got six things that popped up. Let's check my messages here. Buyer return. Oh, I got another return. Bummer. Let's see. Let's go to the bad news.

Good news, bad news. Let's go to the bad news. Good news, bad news. Let's go to... Okay, cool. Successful. Cancel. Return approved. Garden. Proper garden.

The top cover. I wonder why I changed it. Return my top cover on me. I mean the back cover for the Nintendo Wii, the Japan model. What's that about? Is returning it because it says it's Japan, I bet. And that's what I have it listed as. Item is on its way back.

I'm not going to do that right now. It doesn't say why it was returned. View return details. It doesn't say. Change my mind. Change mind. Okay. Buyer shipped return. I'm just going to wait

until it comes back. Okay, cool. Alright, so. So they ordered something and they returned it. Oh, yeah. Oh, that guy. Yeah, sorry. It was a guy.

Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. I just got jammed up with other projects. I also have not found a really good top yet. I will show you

one today. The best i can find sorry i was i just got jammed up all jammed up with with projects i just got jammed up projects all day I also have not found a really, really good, good, really good. I'm using my new computer,

which I like it, but the keyboards are paying the buns, and the screens, blah. But it's still newer, so I will show you one today, the best that I can find. So,

I just got jammed up all day so so i have three orders uh feedback let's check the feedback here uh i experienced incredible fast shipping oh yeah we did that one arrived quickly and well packed item was described part four just had a bad fuse and was a bit grungy but otherwise in good shape so bad fuse on the super nintendo motherboard so just a bad fuse just had a bad fuse on it so if i knew electronics i could probably fix those things. But we sold it to somebody else, and it was in pretty good shape. See, it's the Super Nintendo motherboard with the sound box.

There's two different motherboards inside of the Super Nintendo. One with the sound box, which is the original ones, and then the newer would have been the ones without sound box and that one had no power so he's saying it was a fuse issue i'm not i don't have no idea what a fuse even is and i'm really terrible at replacing or even taking off a component although i did get myself a 220 volt uh sucker gun which is supposed to heat and suck the solder off a component so you can take them off, but I didn't really have much luck with it. At all, actually.

It's another wasted thing. Sounds like a good concept, but it just doesn't suck really that well. And you can't really heat it while it's sucking. It's a really weird concept. But I do have some fun videos of me using my sucker gun. I think some of them are pretty... I had a lot of views for it.

So the point is I can't pull components off. And I don't know what to test. Because I really don't know electronics. So I just sell't know electronics. So I just sell boards for parts. It's just easier. A guy messaged me back. Successful order.

Yeah, so I had to cancel two orders yesterday which was a bummer. Let's see what else. We have three orders. Let's check that out. We'll do that in a minute. Let's see what else we have three orders let's check that out we'll do that in a minute let's see and I gotta come up with an

idea about what to do with oh my midday or maybe not maybe I'll just take a break for a while. Maybe I'll just do the early morning ones and we'll just call it what it is right now.

I do have those. Let's see. Just turn it into just an early morning podcast for right now. Again, lots of stuff stuff I'm just spinning my wheels, so we'll see so this is, the first one I sold was the Sega Genesis

spacer and all the screws around it I did just find the bin that's got a bunch of those in it, so that I did find, I did find some other fun stuff while got a bunch of those in it. That I did find. I did find some other fun stuff while digging around. And moving stuff around. Although I spent my day doing all that. I still did accomplish a lot.

So that's always a point. There's usually not a time when I'm not accomplishing something. Which is cool. Even if it's just to reorganize. To get at stuff. So. I'm almost out of paper. So I gotta...

For some reason this printer printer the first packing slip the shipping label prints fine but then the second one I get a delay for some reason oh no that one at that time alright so let's go back to I did find a I came across an old toshiba laptop i'm a big fan

anything vintage toshiba laptop so i ordered a second one and i'm gonna try to find the power after the test the first one it's a 15 volt and i believe i have the power adapter for that error oh another motherboard for the Wii Wii U no not we I'm just really we I got to go back to Wii U and list those as parts motherboards but I may try to do a rumor on those I'm gonna go through that process again all right so so there's always things I can do it just depends on the direction I end up going or the time

I have to do it so let's see for now I got a pile of Wii U motherboards this is the Wii motherboard I sold so Wii U motherboards that all work except for the can't get it to auto recognize the audio video.

And I have a return because I couldn't give a guy a replacement. Yet I haven't, he hasn't shipped it yet. Not sure why. Usually eBay will pop up a thing saying item shipped.

Normally I will just refund as soon as I see it. Although this other thing, the Wii plate, I'll wait. And then another 5-pin power supply. I've been selling lots of those. This is for the PS1 the five pin power supply you can use those on everyone except for the 1001 international oops something's going on here I've got some sort of a international name problem use 40 characters to cut this out you got you get too much in the address sometimes I have to fix somebody's address because they have it too much in one one thing nope, why did we do that definitely not that alright, so let's see yeah, so I want to wait to this I want to make sure that I'm getting back both

my screws and my back cover because it says changed mine all this is just a back cover for the Wii U gamepad but it was Japan. So I want to make sure I'm getting back what I'm supposed to be getting back. Because I've had that happen where I've sold something

with something else that was a special screw or something. And then I'll get it returned and then I won't get the special screw back. I'm like what the flip? So I want to make sure on that one. That's got me kind of curious on why he's to also change his mind

and I specifically show it as the Japan back cover so if I get back nine screws I'm going to be like what's up where's my tenth screw people do weird things like that

they need like two screws so they can't they don't sometimes i'll have people ask me hey can i just get two screws i'm like yeah i can but my minimum order is 13 dollars even if i ship two screws by the time i get it out the door it's it's eight dollars now for my cost and then i usually never hear back from them. I'm just being, I keep it really honest and real. You know, I just, I can't. And they're like, oh, you just put it in an envelope. No, I can't do stamp envelopes. Nothing ships in a stamped envelope except for mail.

Because if you put anything in there and the postal service sees that there's a other something other than what what's supposed to be in there uh they'll charge you anyway so uh and also a stamp mail has no i have no way to track it so that's a nightmare waiting to happen buyers can easily say they never got it and then they have to refund anyway so then that didn't work out so stamp mail never uh media mail never media mail same deal there's no tracking uh media mail is only supposed to be books technically although once in a while i get some stuff shipped to me media mail and it takes forever media mail so that's a heck no too no stamp mail no media mail i could just sit here and talk about how to sell on eBay all day

maybe I'll do that instead okay alright so yeah alright so I'm going to get that guy done so that's my morning I'm going to think about this afternoon although I'm still in in kind of a a mood where I haven't

quite figured out what I want to do this afternoon if not maybe I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. All right, so you have a good day. All right, thanks. Bye.
