Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 5-27-2025

Episode Date: May 27, 2025

I hope all had a Great Holiday Long Weekend. A Buyer Never shipped Back a Return, so it was closed by eBay. Then I got Yet another Negative Feedback. It has Been Extra Hard trying to be a Good Honest Seller of Gaming Parts as of late.

Good morning everyone it is now 542 Today is Tuesday 527 2025 So hopefully everyone had a fun if you say fun, but a good Memorial day it celebrated all the parades and all that good stuff that was going on with it

on with it. I spent the day again doing another project which is cleaning out a hallway and of course moving all my gaming stuff to a new location down below where I'm still cleaning out. So it's been a mass clean all around and usually always revolves around piles of gaming stuff That I have here there and pretty much everywhere around my house in my basement every shed in the back Todd with the gazebo as I showed you the Both that will do some more videos of the cleanups that I've been working on So that's why I spent my Memorial Day pretty much Got some orders together and unfortunately pretty much all got some orders together and Unfortunately, it's been really hard to sell on eBay lately. I've got another negative feedback

So we'll talk about really quick and then we'll do a little video about it So the buyer never contacted me. It was for two spindles. I have a million videos on eBay of me testing Nintendo GameCube spindles It's never the spindle is hardly ever the issue it's always the laser board. This buyer bought two spindles and then out of nowhere a return was open he said both didn't work so that tells me right away that's two good spindles I shipped them he's testing me on a bad laser board and therefore saying that my spindles don't work So I look forward to seeing the return was open

Of course, I have free returns on everything other than the things that I'm marked as as is as parts items, but those weren't so he opened the return and then eBay allocates a certain amount of time that they have to be shipped back And he never shipped him back. So the return was closed. I like yesterday, I Got a message from saying can I return these and I was like, ah, I bet you that's that guy and then I looked And I had he had already left a bad feedback Saying these don't work and those work fine. He has a problem with his laser boards

so of course replied to the Negative feedback and I told him that I would not return him now and now he's blocked So it's his own fault. I mean, I know they worked. I wouldn't ship spindles and I've actually shipped and sold Thousands of spindles if I've had a spindle that worked I've sold it and of all thousands that I've sold I May have had a couple get returned here and there but I believe everyone that came back always worked as I shipped it Of course the buyer always blames me and in my defective in trying to say that my thing is defective When again I did I would know so and he never shipped them back. So this was one of those returns that

Should just be sure to just throw in the mailbox I would have refunded them and it looks like I probably would have gotten negative feedback anyway But at least I would have had them back and then I could have would have done a video Of course, I would if you're telling me I didn't If I ship something that wasn't right and then if you send them back to me then I can video test them And prove either yes, they do work or no they don't and make sure that each one has a security sticker That they were mine. So but I never get that option for some reason the buyer decided Not to return them or also buyers think if they open a return

That I'm gonna be like a team or Amazon I'll just give you your money back and that's never gonna happen because if you're gonna tell me something that's not working of mine I want to get back so I can see what you're talking about cuz you're it's just me So so any where the negative feedbacks was been a really really hard lately usually when it rains it pours This is the most Negative feedbacks I've had and I can honestly say that I'm not working I'm working even harder than I ever was before trying to get parts out The best I can

parts out the best I can again they use parts I try to make sure everything's tested and I get everything out as quickly as possible same day for a few bucks per listing so that's my new thing we'll look at it in a minute and see what it went on to from last night but besides that yesterday was good I did the video I worked on whatever kind yesterday all my audio video Xbox 360s I pulled them all test retest them again pulled every one of them and everyone has the GPU tall thin copper heat sink that I need as Orders so we did that yesterday That was my little morning project And then after that I went out and started doing things outside and in the house and stuff Alright, so let's see what's going on

on the news June will be a big month for gamers Because I can't afford to get any gaming systems anymore right now. I am waiting for Death Stranding 2, which is ticking down to June 26th. Zombies 4. Oh, you know I watched last night? Z-uh, Wonka. I finally got to see Wonka.

It was okay. It was good. It was a musical, which I didn't know, and I almost wish it wasn't a musical, because the musical part of it wasn't really that good. don't think um i didn't really i don't know it was all right i took it for what it was it's not what i expected but it was all right it was on max i have max too uh which has lots of fun stuff too prime max those are cool places i actually like those better than i do Netflix. Netflix just has a lot of stuff, but it's a lot of junk. But there's some good stuff on Netflix too. Okay, so let's go to Etsy. Somebody asked me a question yesterday, and that's all I heard from that. About... I did find some other black Sega

I did find some other black Sega bottom cases and actually I found one top case too. Somebody asked me about a top cover so we're gonna list some of those covers. I just gotta get to them. Alright so let's go to our RSS feed. Yesterday I had to put my combine my two audios because I had to take a break. My dog woke up. If I talk too loud, I wake up my dog. So I have to be really quiet so I can do my feed all in one shot. Here, my podcast. Let's see where we're at this morning.

But I learned how to combine audio files together Using a program so pretty cool So there may be a break in between the last one. So let's see if we had any download yesterday So I'm at two or three hundred and six podcast so far pretty cool We had one download of 569 Let's see same Ashford awesome. I'm an Ola. I Still see Sydney in and I'm not sure which ones are yesterday

Germany Colo colo colo, I want to say clone Germany Sweden. She's pretty awesome Don't know that I have ones from Australia Sweden in Germany, Sweden, which is pretty awesome. Don't know that I have ones from Australia, Sweden, and Germany along with USA. My message in a bottle over the internet ocean. That's what we say. All right, let's go on to YouTube. We were significantly climbing.

I did promote that video for the audio video. Only Xbox 360 was way over now. It took about an hour and a half to do that But I'm glad I got it out of the way so now is heat sinks get order I can just easily pull them what I have to do in all that other work So we're at $29.33. We're at 42,000 792 subscribers 42,000 792 subscribers

My vulgar feedback still at 1.9. I have not seen David what is this David? Good video pal about the 737 firmware. And he likes my Yoda collection. I started out just with one or two and then all of a sudden I ended up with more Yoda collections. So that's pretty cool. What is David? Son David.

David, what is David? I do not know what you mean. I feel bad for this person but he keeps giving me weird messages. I do not know what you mean. Alright so let's see what else we're going on here So I think we had 171 I Promoted five dollars from my long video on the audio video. I had two comments to that Where's the comments for that one I could see before sir what is this cold and sure but I don't see any of the comments there right now.

So anyway so I'm at $29.33 so I think I'm pretty close to making my 100 bucks so I need the $100. Again you have to wait for Google AdSense has to add up to $100 and then you get paid. It took me 4 months again to make a hundred dollars uh... though we did grow a little bit so it doesn't matter the amount of subscribers you have which I have significantly grown which is really awesome my watch hours are ninety seven point four K

uh... watch hours went down eighty four point five and of course my two three big Videos are that vulgar one Which I'm still waiting for that that buyer to return them Which I'm sure it should probably happen today And I managed to make the funds

to cover that cost of Return do they do is it because I made a case out of it, so they lock your funds out for that amount. And the buyer started out with one, and then, because I didn't want to return them, they opened up two. And then of course I got the two negative feedbacks. So let's go to eBay. So I think I had a coupon sale that didn't really do too well. And we had some more feedback. Yeah so I've had three negative feedbacks. My feedbacks down to 99.3. It a way that was actually ninety nine point two yesterday or read that feedback in a minute

and see if we can message from this guy uh... twelve dollar offer uh... mrs twelve dollars sold so a couple sales with now this week will do twenty percent outside another just be a as to the coupon

article bonds because i can send them out there to everybody sales adjust i have to promote it and you have to pay more for the day to promote it it was wanted more to promote it they always want to take more all right so let's look at some feedback so let's read the old a lot of feedback oh actually it looks like they took that feedback off huh I was here yesterday I know it was oh maybe because

of the return so this this buyer because they didn't return it all the feedbacks not here anymore that's cool that's even better actually because I didn't deserve that if you didn't open a return you shouldn't I mean if you open a return you should just return it and then I give you money back and then if you're perfect so let's look at the Xbox 360. Perfect, thank you. You need your own notch power supply. Item arrived quickly and as described. Xbox, which is the 360 heat sink. Definitely met my expectations for a drive board cover.

No drive board cover. the no driver would cover so yeah that's weird I was just gonna talk about it too. Because normally when a return happens usually that means any sort of feedback is taken away but this was a weird one where he never shipped it so my last one is about the vulgar feedback oh interesting I wasn't expecting that I was gonna sit here and read it and all

it did says items did not work which they worked fine and if there was a problem you had to return open all you needed to do is ship it back alright so let's see see what my sales are here this morning. Let's see what we got going on. Yeah, so I was going to make, of course I would make that name or any add anything in it just talking about the actual event itself Like I've been doing because it's great. He helps me vent What we need to make one and win lots of things I am going to eBay has a On the store has a place to put a video so I'm gonna do an introduction video I'm gonna set it up like face to face face to face just say

hi you know this is my FF gaming store kind of thing so we're gonna put my silly hat on and do it I think I can do it for 60 seconds for a minute I think I'm gonna do that and make it part of my store Some people don't understand. It's just me working hard As I do every day, let's check the sales that we had So today we'll just be getting my orders out. I got everything pretty much Even though I'm doing other projects over the weekend and we had the extra days off from actually physically shipping stuff I still had to get things together

Since this morning We'll spend the day packing up everything. Oh, I'm strat. I sold all the Floppy derives and the tape. Oh, that's cool It's a good little sale there that's cool it's a good little sale there the tender we the mini we everyone forgets about that mini it's really cute the RVL 201 it just plays the Wii games and then I sold a couple of metal heatsink plates for the top of the 79001 I sold one I sold two and it looks like this from the same buyer so that's cool so those are my sales for the morning I you know what I'm out of I'm out

of paper so I need to go get paper I don't have enough paper to print out what I need to do but we're going to go get some paper I got a few bucks in my account not much but most of it is to cover that cost of those two returns which is a real bummer that's a lot of work I put in to get those to them. But, alright so we've sent a, got me a few bucks there. Alright so, also that's cool. I'm glad that feedback's gone because I didn't need that. I didn't ask for, I would have left it there, I didn't ask for it to be revised, but part of a return is that feedback is going to stay on. I didn't know that. It's the first time that eBay actually helped me out for the first time. All the other returns and feedbacks, they did not, but at least this time they at least took that one away.

So that's cool. That really helped me out. So let's see what else we got going on here this morning. So I got a few orders and it'll take me, I don't have a significant amount of orders over the week but I got a lot done in my house and around my house in the last few days during the holiday weekend. It was so nice out and cool. Pretty much I'm on track before it gets really warm.

All the things I needed to do that would revolve a lot of moving around. I don't want to be doing it when it's 90 degrees. So I've been pumping away and I'm trying to get it all done now before the really summer kicks in. I do see we are getting a 80 degree weather 80 degree day rather coming up but we've been really cool in the 60s mid 70s here in Rhode Island. It's one of the I think the safest weather places to live in the world pretty much. But I mean we can't have plus we're on the coast so I mean we can have a hurricane weather places to live in the world but we can't have a hurricane

which that's gonna start kicking in and god knows what's gonna chaos that's gonna bring come this summer uh... predicting again another above and we have not had a direct hurricane hit here in r Island in 20 years. So we're way overdue.

That would be scary. But I would take a hurricane over tornadoes any day. Because these are hurricanes you can prepare for. You can evacuate. You can do all that stuff. Tornadoes, especially those nocturnal ones. God forbid anybody has to deal with that. I'd have to live underground. I'd build my own little underground home right in tornado alley. A couple of shelters underneath

and then a house off of it underneath. That's what I would do. You probably get a lot of cheap land out there in those areas and then you just build down right maybe in my forecast I don't know maybe I'll think about it and put some shelters down and start out with building a few shelters maybe put a small little trailer and then just start building shelters and then go from there all right so that's about it for this morning I hope I have a nice weekend a safe weekend Long weekend today is Tuesday, so now we're into the short Work work week my work week is every day again even though I didn't

Definitely pack anything yesterday or the day before I still got had to get things together Ready to be packed today, so I get them all out It is not a time when I'm not doing things that revolve around getting orders out get things together ready to be packed today so I can get them all out. There's not a time when I'm not doing things that revolve around getting orders out. So you want me as your seller? Because I'm always trying to get them out for you. And try to get them out in the best conditions. Yeah, so we're going to do a short 60 second one on one that that I'm gonna use for my store. I kinda have an idea I want

to do it so we'll do that because I can put a little video on the main store. Right now I have the old video of me getting the kiosk from GameStop about four or five years ago now so it's still that's what's on there now, but I'm gonna change I'm gonna do a one-on-one intro So I decided to do I decided about it last night And we're gonna talk about the other feedback negative feedback, but it's not there now. I Wish they'd all go away, but they're not gonna but at the same time. It's good to show The ups and the downs is very important. so like that's why I always promote and

Talk about any negative or neutral feedbacks because they're important because there's always two sides to stories and On my side is so much of me trying to get things out and do everything as best I can as fast as I can and That's important to share That but sometimes things just don't end up the way they should I don't know why they just don't But it's not for me lack of trying you know what I mean, so so we'll make that in my short little One on one intro And we'll put my I like my my my Mario floppy ear hat we use that one. That's my favorite hat

So let's see is this two comments What is this sir? Oh, yeah All right, so then that's it for the morning. All right, so you guys have a good day Welcome back to work, and I will talk to you tomorrow All right, bye
