Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 5-20-2025

Episode Date: May 20, 2025

I was up at 4am after a Really Bad Ebay Selling Day Yesterday. I am working on shaking it off so I mowed the Lawn and watched a movie until I fell asleep. Today starts a new day. I got My Fun Gaming System Parts LOT it to Check out. My first in a Very Long time. Yes. I take the good with the bad on all PARTS LOTS. You get them as a discount as listed. You Find ways to make the most for what you were given.

Good morning, everyone. It is super early this morning 423 my day yesterday. It was completely ruined. I still got stuff done and got my orders most of my orders done but the fire I'm dealing with Isn't just a nightmare I knew it way from the beginning But I didn't I didn't go with my gut feeling and I kept trying to help this person out But I'm not gonna go over over guy. I made a long video yesterday ball about it So I really need a lot of sleep Watch the movie last night stayed up a little bit and I finally fell asleep

But yesterday I did do the lawn and mowed all the lawn get all that done And I also got in along get all that done and I also got in on the good side I'm not gonna not gonna go over all the other stuff we'll see what happens when I check the eBay in a few minutes but I got my package in my first four so I got a part slot and so when you get a part slot are not perfect some are most of them are what you expect it's just and when i again when i sell parts lots i try to ship the best ones i have but they're not all perfect it's a pretty simple uh concept i don't know normally i don't take returns on parts lots and nor do most other people that sell parts lots. So anyway, we're gonna open up the parts lot It's five systems in there

I was very excited about it. It's the first time I've gotten any systems in in a while. It's all the fun ones is that there's a Nintendo GameCube in there. There's an N64 a Super Nintendo and then a Wii U console and a DS I think Then a Wii U console and a DS I think So I hope you fun open that up because we always when something comes in a wall open it up and check it all out And then we'll slowly work on each one slow Depending on if something happens to my eBay if not if it hangs in there I may have to

Open a Shopify store or something in the future. I do have a little Etsy store, but eBay's getting so much harder to sell now every day is just always something I can only Do as much as I can do and then? When something goes wrong, it just goes crazy Sure, if something's my fault, I agree, but I always stand up for myself some of it's my fault, I agree. But I always stand up for myself. Especially when I put all the work in. Nobody really ever understands the amount of hours

I put in to get all these things, orders out daily. Pretty much doing orders until I go to sleep and then I'm doing orders when I get up and get them out. So it's a lot of work and putting it involved. So I think I've had feedback said I need a vacation probably do unfortunately I can't afford a vacation pretty much to live order by order paying bills especially the way that the world's going I don't know how anybody's gonna be able to afford anything I may at some point have to get

a job god forbid if something happens to my mother then I don't think I'd afford be able to live here So I guess it's wearing on me a little bit thinking about that So I'm just trying to enjoy my time here in the space I have and everything the way it is Because I'm sure that at some point. I'm just not gonna be able to afford it and then Still everything I have here just to go out and pay extremely amount of rent. It's probably It's gonna probably be my only option. I don't know Some days are tough

But then not that I'm not trying and I do I give it everything I have every order and plus everything else I'm doing around here in the house and And all my little buddies and my animals and everything so I usually don't get myself down or really down about I'm just aggravated Disgusted in many ways But it just have to go with what we're at and then see where Work where it takes me from here and then just keep plugging away. That's what I do I'll just shake it off after I I'm sure eBay is gonna make me do now one But now I have two returns from that buyer

So I'll have two more returns and it's just all a waste of me shipping them out and I showed you A bunch of the ones I had that I didn't ship and even those were fine Their parts they were meant to take them take them off of parts That was it was pretty simple stuff And you got him a super discount and of course the buyer picked the last two as The return ones I had the lesser discount on them as opposed to the first two But and then again, I have no idea what I'm gonna get back. So Last time I had this the same ones

I had a problem with because it had a marker of an X on it so I had to do is wipe the our X off but So it's they're gonna take a breath here. Let's see what's going on in the world Yeah, I feel bad for Joe Biden but you know, he's a too and It's just part of our life cycle and something's gonna go wrong cancers is just it seems to be a it's just something that happens when you get older or can happen anytime actually, but So, let's see combs

Talk about Diddy combs Alright, so Predator movie Killer of killers movie so many movie death strainings getting closer to coming out very excited about that. Oh and I saw they Really fun game that I liked but it was first person but I was able to play it for a little while I didn't really play it that long So I can't think of right now. It's what the planets it's the it's the new one revenge of the There is revenge of salvage planet

Looks really awesome I'm a huge fan of Salvage the salvage planet if you've ever played it and if you'd like first person it's really fun and goofy and silly and wacky but the second one I think from what I saw in the in the preview it's third person which is right up my alley it's called revenge of the salvage planet weird name but I also get two characters so that's on my list but I have to see where I'm at selling wise before I can

Purchase anything else which I'm not really gonna get anything right now games They're always be there just always you always want it when it first comes out Like we all do, but I just can't afford to get anything else. I am playing off some other games that are pretty fun, so I got Remastered some old games so it's pretty cool alright so let's see what's going on here let's go to Etsy Phantom Madness okay so let's go to let's go to Etsy generally I don't get a lot of sales on Etsy so it'd be hard to live off to Etsy. I don't really get a lot of sales on Etsy, so it would be hard to live off of Etsy. I'd have to completely increase my amount of things here.

Etsy I always called it my little side quest because I don't really sell much there. I actually had a not so nice feedback saying that something wasn't shipped correctly, but in worse condition Certainly in worse condition. I don't know what condition that was in Try to ship things out as best I can but again mistakes can be made I'm just in that mood. I'm just in the mood right now. I just like everyone's attacking me. It's crazy Especially after only I'm trying to do is just sell some gaming parts get them out as quick as possible the best condition as I can and that's it nothing else I'm trying to start stir up

anything alright so let's look at my RSS feed I did put those two feedbacks on my stars oh then the stars the Star Wars the old Republic is coming out, but I can tell you this I'm so Star Wars out. I Like the days when it was just the movies now. It's just like everything star was We need a new universe Same with same Marvel Comics and DC Comics. We need some a new universes Why don't you go in through the same universes over and over again? Nobody can create a new universe. I mean this Star Trek and then Star Trek has 10 million different Universes, but that's it. It's all we got Star Wars and Star Trek

Besides that movies of other space stuff I'd like to make my own news new series both a superhero and Some sort of Jurassic World rebirth that looks interesting I Think the jet the dinosaurs are just bigger and they're going back to the planet to the to the island I guess I don't know. I really haven't checked it it out I like I did like the last Jurassic world Jurassic Park world would have one throw it they're all fun pretty fun the last two actually I liked those are different I like this with Chris Pratt and yeah those are interesting I like

them and then the last one had all the cats from all of them in it they did a pretty good job with that one, too big fan So, let's see All right, so let's go to our says feed here Yeah, so it's super early this morning so I'm talking a little bit more quieter So my dog my dog is my voice he'll bark because he think he doesn't know what it is he thinks it's my brother so I just couldn't sleep I'm like nah I'm not

gonna just lie in bed I want to look at my goody box I have so that'll make me feel a little bit better not that I'm really just aggravated in general alright, so let's see our SSP Let's see if we had to download yesterday. I have one down 49 the last 30 days 556 total It's my message in a bottle over the internet Ocean as I call it Manola is my number one Download welcome me not welcome, but thanks Ian for coming around Manola Brooklyn couple in Brooklyn awesome We had a quanta

Doha Russia Moscow and Nigeria pretty pretty exciting stuff that's in the last Last 14 days, so let's go to last seven days Let's see last seven days only three food Germany was another one I had and Then I think in the last day. I just had Manila or one of those two cool Alright, so getting to the point that I've been dreading to get through this morning usually I'm excited to see what my

YouTube and eBay are. Oh, I did a video yesterday and it was an overall Video as I've done before even before this buyer every once in a while. I have something major go wrong so I always talk about it I bring up bring out the The go with the bad so we have 532 Views my vulgar and I actually promoted that more I put 50 bucks on that Because what I did is I talked about not only just what just happened with this buyer because what I did is I talked about not only just what just happened with this buyer but I went back to all my other negative feedbacks and what I do is when

a buyer puts a negative feedback on I want to talk about it I don't want to like try to get rid of it absolutely not I learned that a long time ago if you make a mistake or something's going wrong instead of trying to get some to revise it on you let's talk about it, right? So that's what I do I I bring it right out and it's it's public the buyer had Messages we were going back and forth on a return message and they're like if you slander me in any way I'm gonna sue you or something like that. No what I'm gonna do is talk about the feedback that you left me That's all that's public

That's only I'm talking about is the public things that you put out there including the two dirty feedbacks And again, and as I keep saying I admit the first one I Made light of it tried to had fun with the first one. I thought if I pleased the buyer in some way after getting them that feedback No other craziness would happen after but boy was I wrong if I pleased the buyer in some way after getting them that feedback no other craziness would happen after but boy was I wrong then the second feedback I was really disgusted by I was like and then again like as I said I just was gonna leave it alone until then they opened their term but I did I did four lots

with them and I knew I'm like I'm I'm going to, this is going to turn out bad. And I even double checked every single one I had for it to ship out and I just knew it. I said, oh this is not going to end well. I can just, see they're going to pick out the ones that they say are not and then they're going to want to return. And that's exactly what happened. Not that I didn't try to ship out the best ones I had because I did and I can sleep at night. Although I didn't sleep that good at night But last night normally I can sleep good at night knowing I did which I did. Alright, so anyway, we're at

38,000 994 subscribers So we're closing in on 39,000 So the I spent I don't know that last video I did was a close-up and I also showed you Towards the end of the video the ones I couldn't ship and even those were pretty good So you got to see what this is all about. It's just it's a silliness It's just parts lens assemblies. You just try to make the best what you can get so we so we listened so I spent before I went to sleep I did the video and it was mostly about this incident but I went through back over all

my negative feedbacks and some of my neutrals they got more significantly than I usually have in a 12 month period There's been a lot of things going on and not that I'm not trying as I say, but things go wrong I stand up for myself and that's usually I end up with that's what I end up with But as a whole It does only a few so but usually when they go wrong they go really wrong Just crazy All right, so let's see

If I could find a way to open my own store, I mean I can do a Shopify, but there's no way to get people over But to know it's open I just keep plugging away alright so I got some new subscribers I only get subscribed to a handful I only see a few yeah and then they come and go so never know who's there and of course as we always go through My revenue I can't I couldn't live off for YouTube. I couldn't buy a sandwich with YouTube $20 and 23 cents and the the fun the not so fun part about it is you can't even access that 20 bucks Until you make a hundred bucks. So it just kind of sits in limbo and I had requested or asked out in the YouTube world for a way to

Put the $20 towards promotions as opposed to just sitting there just teasing me as not being able to be used But of course that never happened And I'm sure it will never happen. But so my views were 81,000 you know 81.5 thousand views watch hours 578.4 so today will while I was on track I did dreamcast two days in a row I was gonna do a third day of dreamcasts, but then I got inundated with the issue yesterday eBay issue and then I had to get the lawn done. It's gonna rain next couple days. So I was outside

I got some orders to do so we'll do some videos. I gotta test some lens assemblies and Other stuff for other systems because yes, there are other buyers That I need to get to and I ended up not getting all my orders out yesterday But it was for the orders that were just from last night Something I couldn't find but I finally found it It was a Sega game gear battery cover. I couldn't find it. I had one in my hand I put it down and do something else and I lost it something that's happening to me now. Why everyone so I put something down because I have one thing in my hand and then

Already thinking about the next thing I need to get and somehow I put it I put the thing down I just can't find it, but I found some other ones I had so That's exciting. So that's cool. All right, so let's go to the drum roll and see what kind of chaos I'm into. I had requested the feedback being taken down. I have not seen. These bullies, this guy's a bully, he's toxic. I'm neither nor

So the feedbacks are still there, let's see we have 11 Open spotlight So the message is I stop replying to him $30 for Famicon times two. Oh yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, we'll do that. I got a lot of those. Alright, so I got a few. So that's Famicon.

There's two different motherboards in the Famicon. There's two different motherboards in the same cotton one is the G G GPM-02 which is a long all one motherboard and then is the other one which is the GMP01 which has Kind of like a ribbon cable to the other half of it so I Sold to I sell lots of those ones. I did I do so lots of the ones for the oh two so this was two a little bit less per quarter so this morning we'll just

take some orders yeah we'll do that so my next sale was ten nuts So why are you selling 10 nuts? for the Nintendo Wii so there's this that little teeny nut That's when you take the inside of part. You gotta make sure you grab it. Are you all fall out? Those nuts are the other end of the battery compartment when you put that in for the Wii and they're really hard to find so I sell them for 10 per lot and of course. I'm not gonna sell them cheap so Again, my minimum order is $13 now because even selling 10 nuts as $13 I

Am I haven't 16 but I sold for 13 I have to find them again, and you know like that you got to find and That means I just somehow keep track of where all these little screws and nuts are It's not easy. It's really really hard. That's the hardest part of selling gaming parts Is if someone orders a screw I gotta know where that screw is somewhere I've had to put it or even a screw set so I was trying chasing around a battery compartment for Say a game gear all day yesterday, but we did find it though not the one that I put down, but I found another one That's where the hard stuff is nobody understands a heart of his

And I have some kind of organization, but it's not really it is and I have some kind of organization but it's not really let's do a couple orders this morning so I think my sale might have ended so we'll start another sale Not as much. I'm doing less during a week. I have a couple of orders My nuts Ten nuts and then we did the Famicom two of those and then we did a three pin 150 watt three types so light on so this is a I Don't call it the true Jasper. So the true Jasper I guess is so now we're talking Xbox 360 fats

150 watts I call them three types HDMI motherboard and light on Drive I call them three types HDMI motherboard and light on drive the then I have a listing for the Jasper as named Jasper because that one's got the shorter caps on it and They usually have some sort of onboard memory these ones do not There's a tall caps and I even specifically show so if you look at my listings

Every listing I try to zoom in on a specific detail to try to avoid any issues. So you know kind of what you're getting. I don't say that it's the exact one you're getting in the listing, unless I'm actually selling that as an exact one, then it'll be listed that way. Two different kinds of listings. Ones where there's a multiple amount of that you can purchase and then I have a

stock photo but the stock photo the main photo has to show any specific detail that may be on any of the ones that I ship in that listing. So that's how that goes. Again it's all that stuff that takes time to learn how to do. So let's go back to, so I don't see anymore, just stuck with the two negative feedbacks along with the other ones and the returns are just in limbo. I really haven't had any returns in a while except for the tune out and then a short eBay is going to even with all the mess Going on will favor the buyer and then I'll have to Return those when they come back I

Won't I'll wait till they get here. We'll obviously do a video open them up I do videos of all this stuff. Anyway, anytime I get a turn actually have three boxes of returns We'll do a return video this morning of three things like let them collect a little bit They're just small ones and there were things like didn't like or yeah I think the ones we didn't like one I I messed up and it was a power supply that should have been a five pin But I somehow I grabbed a seven pin on the PlayStation 1 power supply So that was totally on me and then I offered as soon as I saw the return I offered the buyer to ship us

The correct one, but they just wanted to return. I was like, huh? So normally although the negative feedback says I don't give a turn they grew. I take all returns Unless it's something that's listed as not returnable then then that's a whole different story or I'll try to if somebody wants to do like a half off then I won't I'll just say now just return it you're gonna do if I have to give off half off one of my negative feedback was that his proposition was give me half off and this will go away. I was like nah. I don't like that option I decided to

Just return it and then you can I'll give you money back and then he left me negative feedback Because I didn't like his option My choice and Then again this return is still there He's gonna use the it was a heat sink set. I'm gonna use it anyway. So I get to return it now And I would until the return windows closed I don't I don't not take any returns that are marked with returnable at all. I always have to take them and mostly lots of times returns that I get are

Buyers that say it's defective, but when I get it back, it was just as it worked. They worked just as I shipped it. And of course, I've got my best return, well, best or the worst, two of the worst, actually I had three, but the worst one was, and we'll talk about it just so you can kind of get in my head a little bit of why Selling gaming parts over the years had hardened my soul to the core and this is a good example So it was two

Xbox the original o1 through o5 Xbox original Xbox is the power. I had two of them shipped to a seller, to a buyer in California or something. And after they got it, I don't know, it was like a week later, he said one didn't work. I was like They should have both worked. I said alright well and when most buyers assume that I'm just gonna say alright I'll give you off half off for the one that didn't work, but Unfortunately just like I don't believe any buyers Because I know I shipped it working so I can't I have to go with what I did not what they tell me It's just the way it is

When you do this long enough, so I don't just return them It's like all I just want to get refund for one. I was like no man if you're telling me that I did something wrong I want to get it back. I got a refund anyway And plus I video so I always video my return so I'm like send it back, and so I can see where I made a mistake. And then I said, and I was at that time, not really doing as much now, but I was refunding as soon as it was shipped out. As soon as I saw the eBay marketer shipped, I refunded

that guy, because I do most, I was doing was doing it and of course when I got it back I had the video for it. Maybe I'll link it to this podcast When I got it back I had all I had my like gaming desktop all set up and I was ready to test the power supply that he returned But when I opened it up, it was a big giant screw inside So I literally got screwed So that was the buyer's way of you know screwing me literally. I still had the screw too. I keep it as a motivational Token, it's like my

Looks like my Wilson as I call it it's a big screw so so I made a video I was doing it I had no idea when I opened up what I was gonna get so that's why I video returns just because you never know another one was I think it was a weed motherboard that came back and all the ports were missing like he scavenged it all and that same buyer Wanted had to open tried to buy another one before you got the return back. I'm like, nah, I Automatically canceled that order and said no because if I ship something working and then you're saying it's not working I'm not gonna ship you another one

And I and again, so when I got that one back it was all in pieces. Luckily I had cancelled the, deleted the other order. So, that's a little day in the life of my thing here. Let's see if my sales are still up. I think it ended. Let's see. We'll check here. We'll do a long podcast this morning because it's early. It's only 5 o'clock. Well, not quite 5 o'clock yet. So I sold a couple. Oh, no, I sold a power supply for the PS2 Fat, the 3000 model power supply.

I sold a Commodore 64 top cover so I took a lesser offer on that one so we gotta get those out just I guess so aggravating yesterday I just kind of went out more the lawn instead of finishing my orders but these are orders they were just just came in so technically I mean I could normally if those are probably would have went out the same day I just I just got almost overwhelmed what I just needed to go more along. When I doubt go more along. Alright, so a couple orders there. Let's see.

A few sales. We'll get those printed out and we'll get all my orders. I got plenty of time. It's really early this morning, so we can get the orders done. No problem. And we're gonna even I'm gonna do an early morning I'm gonna open up my thing in a few minutes. My goodie box. I'm very excited about that. That made my day when it came in like awesome. Something came in. So I don't know how many returns I have like 10 returns now.

Now I just have the 2 from that not so nice buyer and I have the and of course again at the end of the day I end up taking all the damage all the collateral damage I take and then I end up having to take all the refund. I just get beat up. I'm just beat up this morning. I pretty much So, let's see what else we got going on so that's pretty much it this morning I will Do other fun stuff today I'm over this well not quite over it, but we'll talk about it again not until The returns come in

The turns come in we'll go through it We'll compare the ones that I should like snowy I can I literally should have taken videos of each one Well as I packed them and shipped them that would have been the smart thing to do I thought about it Thinking now I don't know if I know this buyer is going to give me a hard time. He's buying way too many of them. I know I'm in trouble. I knew it and I was like well I should I should video every single uh lot as I put them in the box before I ship them but it's I had so many other orders going on I just got to pack things is implying them and I take it took extra time for those and this is how I ended up with all that extra work for nothing and not only knock nothing but negative

nothing double negative nothing so I have three negative feedbacks in the last so I'm down to 99.3 that's the lowest I've been a long time of course I have 71 good feedback so no neutral this month but overall my feedback is so any negative neutral feedback after a year they go away of course this this this buyer is now blocked so I'll have to deal with him again And I've had others in the past so I want to say right now my feedback says 10,835 feedback I want to say All of these I may have probably had a hundred negative feedbacks

Over there all this period of time probably 15 neutral Again again they go where after a year so many night I didn't be that many so I'm usually average in a year time maybe seven or eight negative feedbacks and then normally with the same kind of idea something about the return or I didn't want to do a return that wasn't marked as a return and things like that. Or something they said didn't work and then when I got it back it worked.

Or it's once in a while it's just something that I messed up. Once in a while. But it happens. So all these feedbacks I have now, some of them are ready to be kicked off. So I'm at 7 seven neutral and second seven negative that's the most I've had in one period and to 12 month period some of them are older so they'll start going away and hopefully won't get any more I try not get them but they do happen

overall in this month 10,000 not 10,000 1054 positive feedbacks 7 neutral 7 negative so you know if you look through them there's just a lot of stuff that is unneeded. So we had a couple orders there and then all right So I will talk to you guys later, and I'll let you know I'll update you But we're gonna skip over talking about that for now. I'm done with that for now Go on to other stuff, and then although it double back that when the returns come in

But I do have three of the boxes of returns little to stuff. I'm gonna open them up check them out I'll do a return video. I always do them anyway the matter because I you get returns. They just do happen I don't get them that often. They're very very Minimal the amount of stuff I ship out Again, I always try to get the best stuff out and get it done quickly as possible So well, we'll go through those returns and we'll open up by goodie box. That's what we're gonna do this morning, this early morning. Alright, so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
