Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Tuesday 7/8/2025

Episode Date: July 8, 2025

I started an Ebay Sale event for the Week both Discount and Coupon.

Good morning everyone it is now 627 it is July 8th 2025 yesterday my mic broke while it broke before Fell on me and I still had the cord in it, but now we're using my little cordless one So I shouldn't have a mic problem today So seem like the mic's working I shouldn't have a mic problem today, but we'll keep an eye on it. So it seems like the mic's working. Mine's a blue, a Yeti Blue mic that I had, but unfortunately it fell on me and I forgot

to take the cable out of it. And what I did is I broke the back of the port for the power. So I'm going to sell it for parts because now it's broken. So yesterday, what did we do yesterday? Yesterday we did a little bit nothing, oh I put around computers a little bit. I got my new, well not new, but a Toshiba laptop in. I'm a collector of them, it's in sorts, of sorts I should say. It works Windows 95, which is even the better. That's what I've been looking for, trying to find a Windows 95 system. So, real excited about the CD-ROM.

Doesn't stay, it took a whole CD-ROM part yesterday trying to figure out how to get it to lock back in. But I just couldn't seem to find the mechanism. I think it must be electric, active and unactive. So, we're working on that yet but the laptop itself works fine so it's pretty awesome so we use it for some old games and things like that and so let's I have a couple of four so it's a satellite Toshiba satellite pro this one I just got in was a 440 SDX. I have two 430 SDXs at work too. So pretty cool.

That's about it. Just something that I want and I have an extra one. So eventually I'll sell one and keep one, that whole kind of deal or break it down for parts. So we'll see what we're at. What things did I do yesterday? All right, let's see what's going on this morning here. We have some stormy weather here. There was a little bit of a

tropical storm over in North Carolina that's come up our way, but not quite. So we're going to get some of that. And those are the scary storms now. So I decided to put the lake that storm in Texas. What's happening is hurricanes are now getting on land and then they're reforming it and we're not noticing them. They're turning into little mini storms and that's what happened in Texas. So that's what you gotta watch out for. So it's not only the worry about the actual hurricane to where all the remnants after

that we're not paying attention to. cool I don't know what they call them there's a name for when they just sit there and just don't dump water like that just heard the name too so we might get one of those around here so those are gonna watch out for so that climate change or weather change. All right. So let's look at Etsy. Um, nothing going on Etsy. Let's see. Oh, we have five stars. Yay. Great condition.

I arrived very quickly. So that's pretty awesome. Just a couple of, uh, uh, Nintendo game cube, uh, flaps. He just purchased them and you already got, you already got them and I already got a few packs, so that's pretty cool. Right now I'm only sold a little bit of things here and there on Etsy but still so a couple sales. Parchmark, I haven't sold anything yet. Probably maybe I never will but it doesn't really matter. I mean I'd like to sell stuff at Parchmark.

It's not really an electronic store however. I have some, a social media 1017 followers so that's pretty cool but then it doesn't cost me a few years that's also the other good thing Etsy does cost me 20 cents per listing I think I just had to pay for my next few months of listings. But I made a couple bucks, so I think that's okay. Alright, so let's see, make sure my videos still go, my audio, yeah, seems like it's going. I thought I was going to have to go out and get a new mic, and then I'm like, oh wait a minute, I have a mic. I use my wireless mic on my phone all the time. So that's what I'm using now. While I'm doing this.

It actually probably came out a bit clearer. Plus I also have this cool podcast kit thing. The mic in it. Like a big mic. I'm gonna find it. I got it at an estate sale. I can always fire that up too. We'll see how this mic goes. If not I'll just keep using this one.

Alright so let's go over to RSS feed. So they're very quiet. I haven't had it downloaded in a few days. It's a long stretch. Yesterday I obviously only did a podcast for a couple minutes, but today was a little bit longer. Because my mic went down and I didn't realize it. I still was doing a podcast, but the mic wasn't on. So we only got like four minutes. It was kind of a bummer. I had one download yesterday, so that's cool. So we had somebody, Russia, Colombia, Ashburn.

Oh, that's cool. Ashburn might have done a few downloads for one day, so that's awesome. Always appreciate that. Let's see here. So next thing I want to go to is YouTube. Now I've been promoting. I've promoted three things now on YouTube. Because I want to get to 50,000 subscribers.

That's my goal now. So I will promote this month. We're getting there though. We're not pretty close but we're 48,242 so we've cracked 48,000 long day relaxing with my

Roxy and Ranger yesterday. Pretty fun. Gained a little bit of income. I had one day where I had one day where I had $4 I made for sale for YouTube, that's a lot for me. Usually I make in the cents like 0 to 50 cents per video per day if that. So that 4 bucks means somebody watched it for a while. I have one comment here. MetaQuest, yeah, is 100% more expensive than the X...

100% more expensive than the X... than the XBox Quest S. Also, you won't get the Elite Headstrap, Control and Game Pass. If you want everything from the package, the deal is quite good. We didn't need the x4 in the 9x3. Okay. I did not realize the three was more expensive. happy with this set. So the Quest was $100 more, but it was better. It was the lens. It was $499 for the Quest. $399 for that. So we had, let's see,

life in a double shape. I think that's gonna end. And then I promoted a couple other things I did yesterday or promoted my, oh I figured out how to, why I can't do community posts anymore on my videos because they change it to, you can only post through your phone. So let's go to Life in a Double Shape. Let's add that, add more to that. Let's change the date to, we'll do another week. I'm gonna keep my Life that. Let's change the date to, you know, I'm gonna keep my life in a double shape going,

so I have a little bit more on that one. So we'll do probably about $100 of promotions this month. The $100 I made last month, pretty much. We'll do that. I did what happened to my community. So the community post got turned off on your desktop. I do it from desktop, normally. So I had to go into settings and turn the community post back on,

but still it only gives you a QR code. So I went to my phone and now there's another tab. I gotta look at it on the video. There's a tab after live that says post. So you do it through your phone. That's what happened. So I can't just post a video. I usually post everything. I changed that, changed up. There was no warning about it and no one said anything about turning something off. So, I made a little bit quick video about that. So, my life in a double shave is still hanging in there. Flash, 15 second, Nintendo GameCube, all those other boards. Sega Dreamcast.

Sega Dreamcast. So again I do a couple different things now. I do flash 15 seconds. I do quick three minutes or one minute short and then I also take that one minute short and put it in as a video. So I've tried through it doing all different directions. Seems to have helped a little bit here and there. Okay, so let's see what's going on with eBay. I think my sale ended. Not expecting anything, and that's about what I expected. Nothing. I have one message. So today we're going to do a sale. Homebrewed. I was hoping to apply the 480 pixel patch which only works on launch models on the... oh okay. So this guy was I figured it was mod-related in some way. add a buyer return a 02 now I know why

he thought he was getting an 01 so that's what it is so So that's what it is. So only the 01 has the, it's called a 480 pixel fixed patch, which only works for the launch, the 01 motherboards. So now we know. So. So we're gonna start another sale this morning. Amazon starts their sale tonight. So I'm gonna do something compatible to Amazon. Although I've been doing pretty good sales. Well it's been pretty quiet.

But it was as expected. We got a few bucks to... So let's check my sale on ThetaNB. I want to get a couple of...not yet though. I want to get a couple of not yet though ID to compact flash but for a laptop the different little component thing that's what I want to get next can't forget right now what we'll get down the road all right so let's look at my marketing Discounts. My sale should have ended. My sale event ended. So we'll delete that.

So we're going to do, I'm going to mix it up here. I'm going to do 15% of a coupon. Coupon. I'm going to do an extra 20% off coupons. We're going to run it between now and we need to do it till Monday. So we're going to do it as F. We're going to do it as FF Prime Wall Save. We'll do that for 20% coupon. Launch that.

And what I can do with a coupon with 20% is I can send it to some of my groups. So I'm going to send it to the paid buyers. And we're going to send it to followers. And then we're going to send it to beat buyers. And I can promote it too. But that doesn't really go anywhere. And then we do the thank you bonus savings. So we'll send it to anybody out there.

And then what we're going gonna do is not promoting because I need you have to pay eBay to do more of that you know morning is one thing but then after having to so pay more on you for eBay to do in this in interest got something there I don't have no idea what that's supposed to do. We'll do pin interest just kind of send out the thing I got coupons. So going forward why I've been doing anyway but even since I've added $4 now for shipping. I have to do more sales. All comes out basically the same, pretty much.

Alright, so that's that. Alright, so I hit all my pins for pin interest, again, I have no idea what pin interest is about. I don't quite get it, but... Re-edit, I have that there. So we'll hit that too. Because Walmart's also having a sale too. So I put it as Prime Wall Save. FFF. Because both Walmart and Prime are having a sale now so kind of put their name a little bit in there. So I thought that was fun.

All right, so we did that. Alright, so we did that. Let's see if my thing is still going here. Alright, so we'll do that. And then we're gonna go ahead and do also gonna take another 10% off as a sale off. So you get 20% coupon, 10% sale. So we'll go to marketing again, discounts,

and then we'll do create discount here. We'll do a sale event. This is going to be not 30%, because we already got it. We'll do another 15%. So that's 35% it's only gonna go until and we'll start that signal you We need to launch, and select a discount. And just select... items. Oh, it's back. event, 15 rule based, all inventory, 15%, I changed the date again, July the 14th. So it gives you 20% coupon, 15% on sales, That's 35%. Yeah, whatever.

So even with my little guys that gets it way down there. Oh, I've got the extra four dollars so I can do the whole thing. That's why I did this. So we just launched that as well. So I've got two sales going on now. 25% off for the week. That's where we're at. Three discounts of June to end the next 24 hours. So sales have been a little bit lower. Once we went through the holiday weekend, I threw another 5% on other things that are shown. Yeah. And we're just gonna keep listing more stuff too as well. I got some more

stuff for my color, not my Macintosh Classic. I started putting stuff up for that so we're gonna do some more, I got more parts of that. I got a tube or two to sell for that We're gonna do and I got a really I got a tube for it All right, so that's my morning here, let's see how this looks out a different like But that's pretty much it today. So you guys today's what is Tuesday? Yeah, so you guys have a good Tuesday And I will talk to you tomorrow All right
