Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 6-10-2025

Episode Date: June 10, 2025

I spent the Day Yesterday reorganizing my Gaming Work Bench and Room. My Buddy Roxie had another Good day.

Good morning everyone. It is now 640 a.m. Of course, and it is June the 10th 2025 So yesterday more good news my buddy Roxy She had another really good day actually she was able to stand and almost walk on her own That's been her problem, so I've had to carry around everywhere help her go to bathroom and do all that She's had a little bit of a resurgence, so that's really good. We had gotten some medicines for her, and it seemed to have helped.

So, I thought she was on her deathbed, but now she's a little bit alright. She's not like she was, but we just keep her more as she is someone we have to really take care of now. She used used to be really really independent up until a few days ago, and then something changed, but she is 15 years old so you know it's besides that or she's still smart as a whip and Alert for a while there. She wasn't the first day or so, but then she's changed, so it's really good I'm really excited that it's good for my mother to that something my Roxy's hanging in there So that really helps us all out Which that's all you can ask for is To live the best life you can and then you know when it's time or it's becoming time try to get as peaceful

And as comfortable as possible until it's time to go to sleep forever So yesterday although I spent I did spend a lot of time with my buddy Roxy, just in case another turn happens, but besides that I spent the day in my room reorganizing, cleaning, moving stuff. I moved some stuff out of my gaming workbench. So that's the day I spent yesterday. I had all my orders done first thing in the morning. I had a couple big orders to do but then after that I didn't really want to go outside. Didn't feel like pulling in my 360s for a while so we decided we're just going to

do an in-room and if you've seen my room I haven't done a video of my room But there is wall to wall Gaming stuff everywhere with a bunk bed or loft bed as I call it either way Where I sleep above all my gaming stuff and includes my gaming work benches in here Everything is in this room. It's pretty crazy. So if you like a tight spot, you don't want to be in here I don't mind it I just just it just kind of happened that way originally it was just a room in my room and then as I started on my quest of learning about every gaming system ever made and buying stuff around town and over on eBay around the world my room grew into what it is now so it's been

pretty much it's been a pretty interesting journey and my room shows the journey to to a tee but it's just not in my room it's in every inch of my house and outside I showed you the recycle pile I have it's pretty crazy and I've done it all myself over the years. So it's been really, really interesting. But we've learned a lot. So let's see what's going on today. I didn't really have any orders, which was great yesterday because I really wanted to do...

Some sort of a... So this is a lot of chaos going on in the world. I really won't touch on that. Other to say that it's just always something. Yeah, I've got a few different things around the world, chaos. Pretty crazy. Alright, so let's go, let's check on, we'll check Parshmark. It hasn't, hasn't gotten me any sales however and I say that a lot is it's giving me something different it's giving me a new

social 888 followers I have 28 things I haven't listed anything else on here yet it doesn't matter I just put a few things just to get it going but every time I list something it seems to generate some sharing and some comments I was getting weird bulk comments which is some way that these people can can try to get you to contact them off-site so I identified that right away as some sort of a scam Within it and they're using the bulk comments in order to do it It happened a lot when I first started and now it hasn't really happened as much but they're off There's lots of other things, but there's always constantly stuff going on Around my store, so it's pretty cool cool I'll take it and I have a

link to my YouTube store Etsy I got a deposit of four dollars oh I finally saw I sat down and watched the Resident Evil rec recrium and looks pretty cool it's just it's an office building I have no idea what it's about, but it looks pretty fun. So it comes out this February, 2026. I was like, oh I'm not coming out until 2026, and then I was like, no wait, that's February 2026, that's only this winter. So I didn't quite see if it was first person or third person actually. And of course I'm all about first person not third i mean all about

third person not first person but i i did play and finish both resident evil seven and eight that were only first person and then village i never finished but that was first person but then the winter uh download and made it into a third person then i started playing it again but i still never finished it i came close and i've started to restart it a whole bunch of times all right so let's see oh let's look at my etsy what's going on here so i made a little bit more room on my workbench. You wouldn't really know it, but I did.

And I moved everything around. And I found stuff I didn't know where it was. So yesterday was a good day. Good day to just sit back and... I never really not do anything. But I do watch my movies now at night. I'm really into silo it's on Apple TV it's really cool it's kinda like

a fallout if you should watch fallout which is on prime that's fun it's kinda like that in a way in lots of ways but not so I suggest that alright so nothing on Etsy um let's go to my RSS feed so hurricane season is starting to come around so that'll be interesting to see what happens for that above normal prediction was which I think will always be now above normal if not even extreme going forward climate change and all that so we'll see what happens it's just

a matter of when and where is it gonna hit that's just the way it is so I had two downloads Apex Ashburn I always on them thank you Lindale Lindale's often in here Toronto Toronto's in Canada obviously and Newport is actually in UK so that's pretty exciting that's my downloads for the day so you average one or two but multiple of one or two so that's pretty cool and this is a podcast actually goes to a few different places like Apple podcast and stuff another thing where I've never I do it just to do it because and it is monetized in some way but I never I've never made any money off doing this but I do have a link to a go

funding page for creativity I've never made a dime off that either, but it's there so and I also have that my youtube page So if you guess as we talked about millions of times. I never really make any money on YouTube either I've made a hundred dollars, but I'm negative eight hundred so speaking of YouTube. Let's go check it out Let's see what we got going on this morning So my subscribers are going down, as we've talked about. I'm not promoting. So we're about the same, a little bit less. 46,637.

So I can just scratch out the 46,000, just say 637. When I stopped promoting, I was at 655 I think. And I've gone up and down just a few here and there since promoting. My watch hours have, no the views have gone up 125.4. I didn't promote, I mean I didn't do any videos yesterday other than a podcast. Because I just wanted the day, I just wanted to do it in my room yesterday. So my revenue went up a buck, $34.24. All my flash 15 seconds, something new I started. I had the option to use just 15 15 seconds so I use them as a flash

Maybe to get someone to see it and then come around trying to do other things other than promoting paying for promoting Either way, so we get we had a little bit So so my podcast I've had 2.7 K views 31.6 hours so that's pretty cool. For it's only 20 minutes, and at some point I will get back to doing mid afternoon, we'll talk about stuff, bring my buddy Zippy in, although I don't have a subscription anymore so I can only talk for him for so long.

But then I can jump over to Deep Seek, or Gem Gemini which I don't have a subscription for them. I had to cut corners so I got rid of all those subscriptions that were kind of useless. You just, you just get it, it's the same thing you just get only, you only get a certain amount of time. You ask a few questions and then you're done for a while. But I'm really not doing any questions right now so. Alright so that's where I'm there so only ones that I'm getting big Amounts of views on are my little flash 15 seconds, and that's the way I'm gonna continue I want to go at least a whole month Even if I find a video even if I do video my god, this is a really good video

I should promote it. I'm not gonna So they only ends up let's see how many so yesterday was just my podcast. I had 17 views Yeah, but I'm consistent I'm doing my podcasts every morning because I enjoy them helps me wake up Gets me to preview what's going on, but nothing really gets going until the next stage, which is I Know why I've added Posh posh mark but hasn't really done anything yet for me other than lots of activity other than purchasing so let's go to eBay this is where it all starts I think my sale ended let's see I sold a couple things feedback

I'm feeling I'm gonna get hit with a feedback about that greenish cover Try to make everything possible so the buyer realized it was not the original blue. Okay, so let's read Great seller says some feedback First one great seller that shipped exactly what I ordered and more. They were kind enough to ship some extra X-clamp screws needed for installation. The guy asked about the screws so I said yeah I can add to that. If you call me, I mean if you contact me ask you, I always reply to everything. I'll help you in any way possible. Next one is great packing, great honest sell, trustworthy with purchase.

Will buy again. Would be so much easier if more sellers were like him, responsive, honest, and amazing. So that's pretty awesome. Oh and this guy I did find a 2.3 another 2.3 I gotta contact him. This was for the Sega Genesis he wanted the Yamaha chip off of it and I found another one and there only is a specific Yamaha chip that he said he knew um he's got he had somebody that wants it uh for us he want the his friend owns a synthesized company and wants an old Yamaha chip off of the Sega Genesis 1631 VA.3 motherboard. Go figure. But I found another one. Yesterday while I

was looking around, while I was cleaning. So pretty cool. So yeah, like I said, I'll do everything and everything to help you out. On the other side, the flip side, if you're one of those crazy buyers or you turn on me and something goes wrong and then I act the same way. So this, it tails of two sides. As think where everybody is, right? They have the good side and then they have a bad side. If you do something weird like some of my negative and neutral feedbacks make sure you check them out. It's very important you see those as well because those are that's the other side of me. We all have it and and it's because I would have shipped something honestly and I would have done it

as best I could and then oh wait I think I found one this guy's asking about I think I have one I think I think this is about the PS3 uh... fat model A with the C OK-001 I think I

I think I found found one I Will Video test You can check it out of course anytime I can refer a Potential buyer or any buyer to my YouTube page I will but sometimes eBay won't let me put the link on there although he but I can still send things

through eBay to YouTube so it's kind of a pain in the butt. I wish I could put a link on every listing for my YouTube but it won't let me. Okay so we'll do that later. I pulled that out and it did let me do the link so I just told him I found one he's looking for one fully working I might have one all the ones I have left are on and off and then there's a couple others I got a relook at that I saw Okay, I piled them up. I will dig them out. Those have some sort of an issue One is a broken clip. So that might be a potential one. I don't know if it's an E so remember the model E so A and B are C ok-001 and

That's the a true backwards compatible motherboard only. It has the EE chip on it for the PS2. Then there's the model E which is quote unquote backwards incompatible but it doesn't it has a COK-002 motherboard and it does not have that EE chip. It uses some sort of emulation chip on there so lots of the PS2 games do not play on that one. So it's a big difference. I just learned that. It wasn't the last few months, I didn't know that. I thought A, E, and B were all the same.

And it's funny because the model A, the model A and E had the front flip door and the cartridge slots and all that stuff. But the model B does not. And it has a black cover in the front Yeah, it still is the Cok-001 and A and B not E if you got all that I'm gonna miss that guy Yeah, I found one of those in a minute. All right. Let's see what kind of orders I have

So everything is good and positive. It's the way we like it. I wish it would always be like that but it never it can't be. It's just it's just not positive. It's just not possible. We're gonna have um all right so we sold a couple few things. I sold my PS4 1215A. We went through that the I got that all I needed was a firmware that was on my YouTube maybe a week ago, tested it all through, everything worked, and then I did a video poll and the whole thing. I just sold a disc driver for that, so that's one thing. I sold one of my Nintendo Pro controllers, one of those, yay, And then I sold Xbox One S 1681 drive. Ooh, I gotta find that.

I'm not sure what that is. It's five pin. Must be out of no board. I have to look for that. And then we sold a bottom case for the PS4. 1115A, the dreaded 115A, labeled. It has the button read on it. So that's a little mix there, a couple PS4 things,

Xbox, and Wii. So you, as everybody else does, you wanna diversify as much as possible. So I try to have a little of everything listed. In the perfect world, I would have every part for every system listed but it's just not possible. AI would never be able to keep up with orders and there's no way I could even do it. Even when AI coming out now it's saying you

can just put photos just take photos and then AI will make your listing and I could see that really increasing more but I don't know how there may be a point where I could just say I list every part of the Xbox 360 for me but I would get wrecked I can see that happening though I think that's gonna be in the future where you can you can say and they would just make like photos like generic photos of each part it can't be that far away I haven't seen much integration with EA eBay and AI other than like I said you said something about putting given it photos and it would make you

listening I'm gonna try it I just haven't got there that would significantly make things go faster but they're also talking about a new seller hub coming soon so let's see what that is I think that's gonna be a game changer I've been doing eBay you know for eight or eight years or so now and the sell a hub has always been kind of quirky at best. It's hard to work with. So we'll see what they come up with. Now let's go back to, so yeah, so most of my day again is usually eBay or YouTube.

Yesterday I took a day off to get some other stuff done, but we're gonna go back today, we'll do some videos. And the first thing we're gonna do is that PS3 I've got a few orders to do but they're pretty easy peasy pull and go one distra I have to find I have no idea where that is once in a while there's something I'm like I haven't sold it forever and I'm like oh my goodness where where did I put that so remember I'm selling things down to the set of screws so if you see it like a set of screws that means somewhere there has to be a bag a ziplock bag of those screws and then that bag has to be in some sort of

a box and then I have to know where that box is. It's really hard to be down to the micro selling that I do. And then I'm like, and then once in a while there's some thing that I'm like, I have no idea where I put it. And I have to refund the person. Most of the times they're not happy about it. I just don't know where it is. But over the last year, I've been trying to get all my boxes with all my little Ziploc bags in a certain area

so that I can kind of grab and go. So grab and go is most of what I knew, but if it's like a motherboard that I haven't pulled yet then that takes time. So it's kind of all over but most things are really easy to do I just don't know where they are but I've gotten better at it but I have no rhyme or reason the way I do it's kind of like anybody has a office desk and their other paperwork is just... what happened there? Oh yeah, it's their own system. Basically the same thing. I have my own system, I just don't know where everything is. So we'll start another sale, looks like we're ready for that.

I think my sale ended. Let me check. So you don't want to do any sort of marketing with advertising through eBay because then they hit you with all kinds of charges. You can do discounts as a seller where they're your own discounts and you're not. Which you can do a coupon, which is pretty cool. Yeah, both sales ended. And I do, I break it up into two different sales now

because my little guys, which would be anything from like $20 down, my minimum order is 13. The best I can do is take 8% off. That gives you about a buck off. That's about it for those little guys. As we say, free shipping is free for me, so it's about $8 my cost at the door. So I have to make at least five bucks per order.

Door-to-door service, same day shipping, to get the part you need. I think I should earn five bucks. Most buyers don't think that way. I'll have the 8% off and then I'll also get a half off because I always have best offers it'll always be there I just decline them that's all and so yeah so far and then I was doing 30% off on my bigger items which is anything from like $25 and up and Then I'm still getting another half off

Best offer like I said, I'm gonna do a discount. I'm not gonna do both Right. Well how many stores you can go to we can go to the discount center and then say hey Can you also take another 50% off of that for me? I? Don't know of any of the places that does that I certainly do seven discount dude end All right, that's what we're at So always a fun day here on eBay, but everything looks good That's what we like it

But I'm I'm waiting for that one thing the buyer never replied back after I Contact them after he contacted me about the bluish, the greenish cover. So that's usually never good. If they send you a message complaining and then I send messages back explaining exactly what I did and then I never hear back from them, that usually means that they're pondering the seven day wait period between period for a negative or neutral feedback and then I'll get hit.

Which is what I'm assuming but it doesn't necessarily always happen but most times it does. So if it does of course, if there's a neutral or negative feedback as soon as it comes in it's the first thing I'm going to talk about. I'll make a little video just talking about that because there's always two sides of a story so I don't understand anybody that has neutral or negative feedbacks on their stores that never replies to any of them I don't get that at all I use all if I'll use all 500 words you get 500 words I'll use them 500 words. You get 500 words, I'll use them all.

And I will explain my side. Good or bad, even if it's the way it is. I'm just being honest and straight up keeping it real, as we always do. Alright, so I think that's it for this morning. Where are we going? What's today? I think it's Tuesday? Today's Tuesday. Today's going to rain all day today so we won't be outside. And we will be doing some more, we're going to do PS3 this morning.

I think I have three or two other boards I've got to dig out. I want to test those. Alright. So that's it for today. You guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Alright, bye.
