Tearing Down 2 DEFECTIVE DONOR Nintendo Wii U Consoles for Motherboard SetsAfter 3 Years, This Rebuild Down the Street is Finally, Finally Complete w/All Its Bells & Whistles

Good morning, everyone. It is now 5.50. Today is September the 9th, 2025, and I believe it is Tuesday. Yes, it was Monday. I do pretty much orders all morning and afternoon. So that pretty much took up the day. I did one video, which was, oh, taking apart my Nintendo Wii U motherboards. I've got to look for some of those today. I think I have another. stack of those we use and those were sold for parts and we saw when we opened them up one had the one that had no power you could see where there was some blasted uses or something on the board so motherboard sell working and they also sell as I put them as defective donor meaning their parts maybe you can get it working again maybe you just take things off depending on how good you are with stuff I'm not good with

that i just pull them and ship them i don't sell anything off motherboards i've had buyers ask me to pull parts off i don't do that that's above my pay grade uh i don't know i'm not good solder anything like that so i'll sell a motherboard uh you know as low as i can just so i make a few bucks and you get it and do what you want to do i sell defective donor motherboards all the time for all different systems so it might as well try to sell right some about it so project journeyman overnight my visual state all night which is awesome we had a problem the first night with the new system which is one to through my elite desk the first night it shut off after seven hours because Ubuntu started

trying to do an update and it couldn't so it shut itself down so yesterday morning i worked with my buddy zippy we made a new uh run cool program that shuts all the things down as i stock the program for the night including anything that was auto shut it off and also with some reason my my thing was unplugged and i'm not sure why my projector so we had a complete successful evening all through the night and I actually got up once or twice for the mother nature a couple times I had to get up and we had about almost 8,000 New York's overnight so that's pretty awesome it's way past that I've ever done the night before I had 15,000 and that was even before the thing right now so

pretty cool and then when I get up I still had ten people on as I shut it off. So that's pretty awesome too. So people hanging around. Looks like a lot of comments. I haven't looked at any of 599 comments. Got a few new subscribers. It's pretty cool. So we're not promoting anymore. So this is another way I'm trying to ask if I can get some new subscribers and just some new fun activity. Of course, to get those visuals, the three that I did a triple threat last night, three different visuals, P-Y code. The thing I've got to do is get a P-Y code. It doesn't have an interruption in between each code. Technically should be all one code. But we haven't quite got that yet. So that

takes hours to get my buddy Zippy to get those programs together for me. For my idea to try to communicate with it, to get it to do it. And most of the time it doesn't. It can run a program without any issues once in a while. It'll give me a program, but it has errors in it. So then it's this one doesn't work and then he does that pretty cool so so again i call it an extension of my brain or a second brain i have now so it's pretty awesome the potential is unlimited what we can do now so we'll start working on a new visual for tonight so it's part of my routine now so let's see what's going on here uh yeah it's really fun to be able to uh let's check up the oh so there should have been a football last night

he's not really into football but i still like to see the scores now um the days of the patriots and tombrey and all that was my heyday had football for me it's like when baseball was out probably Red Sox in the heyday. So the Bears lost the Vikings on 28 to 24. Chicago never wins. It was terrible. All right. So let's see, 2724.

Pretty awesome. So all the scores, was there another score? Just that one last night. It would have been the first Monday night football game. now there's like football on thursdays is football on fridays it's very confusing and with these there's new football but we just look at the scores and then I'll watch some of the Patriots if they're on it has to be at the one o'clock game I don't watch I don't sit for a four o'clock game I go to sleep by 4 30 or so

Okay, let's see what else we got going on. So let's look at the local, let's look at the news. We always don't talk about anything that's doom and gloom because there's so much of it. Just skip right over all that. If anything that catches my eye, that could be... gaming or any otherwise. Nothing that really reaches out to. So today we're going to do,

oh, we're going to stop my first computer. Got some desktops. Depending how long it takes me to do my project journeyman for the other night. We have a good routine now. I can just have it, make three quick programs and just, but I got a lot of other ideas for overnight. we've got to take one separate time

all right so first we're going to go to Etsy here no orders I had an order yesterday I shipped it out I think I had a second order came in later I need to get out today yes there was an order I have an order for Etsy to get out today I didn't notice it until later on

I could have probably got it out but I didn't pay attention to it I got to double check Etsy. All right, let's go to my Parchmark. We're still looking to see. Made one sale. Let's check my closet. I haven't checked down a while.

So 1,195 followers. We grew up on my followers here on a Parchmark. We had that one sale, which is pretty cool. It doesn't cost me to be here. It's really not a lot of work or any extra so I can handle it. Shopify was a whole different story. Shopify, in order to do it, there was lots of, you had to jump through all kinds of hoops and everything,

and then you have to take care of your sales tax. Ooh, I can redeem my cash today. Yay. So that means my sale, the guy must have, so it was my first sale. I've never done this before. So they have to accept. the sale and then my money clears.

Order complete. Order accepted and earnings released on September 8th at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Cool. So he got his order and he accepted it. Therefore now I can get paid. So let's do that. Let's get paid. Where does that money go though? I don't know where I want. So I'm going to redeem my balance. I can do it to so we'll do it later

I can do it through PayPal I can do it I'll do it for a bank it's no fees if you want to do instant transfer it's two bucks that's how eBay used to be $2 for transfer

no no I'm sorry eBay is still $2 for it used to do 2% whatever you were trying to transfer if you want to do instant PayPal is 35 cents Venmo was 35 cents bank is what I'll do no fee so I'll set up my bank

or you can request a check which is really weird or do you want to check send you later on we'll do that and I'm going to do that and I'm going to set up my phone all right so we'll do that later so that's how we get there

so that's cool we'll set up my thing right around so I'll get my first payment and maybe my only payment on parchment on parchment we'll put some more stuff up but the only way to get more stuff on here is I have to open I open a month of

Cross List which is another migration program brings stuff from eBay over to Pushmont without any issues I want to open Macari store but in order to do that you have to put a wait

so you've got to do it per listing it's real pain it's always that's Pushmark I didn't have to add a weight to it so I can just take I can grab like 200 items off eBay and throw 200 items right on to Parchmark and it just does it as best it can't I don't know but with Etsy Parchmark McCurry can't do that I have to do one at a time and I got to change the wheat I got to add a wheat so that kind of messes everything

off doesn't motivate me to do that but we may try McCarrey all all right let's see PS6 rumors claims console will be detachable disk drive physical games still available for PS6 that'd be cool it's the first thing I see in there cool I do have a detachable I'll drive for mine my PS5 it's pretty awesome five slim I'm not looked at it when we get that game that's the oh it's some sort of a survival horror a little run for a few days and then we'll check it out all right so we are going to go on to rs.s.com check out here what's going on this morning i haven't had many downloads but i usually don't anyway so if i get one or two i message in a

bottle in the internet ocean wherever it may go I won one download 53 in the last 30 days pretty awesome we get one but it's more than one but it's different cities of one Cleveland Jersey Jersey is a state I mean the country St. Haylor Jersey France oh we're friends that's pretty awesome St. Lucia Surloia on Netherlands Larisome and Rockland, United States, too. So that's pretty awesome. Those are different ones.

And again, I can see a flat map, and I get the little red dots. So I can see where they are over the world. I'm not good with geography, so I have no idea. Without these red dots, other than being in the United States, Jersey's upwards. It looks like Jersey, the red dot is close to where Netherlands and France is. Right in the top corner there, what they call it, Cross the Pond. the pond i'm not really a big fan of that saying but that's where those are so that's pretty

cool i always get excited about that do my podcast one of the best things every day starting this and now my project journeyman's i'm gonna kick in so that's pretty awesome only thing is we're going to go to youtube right now all this is great yet none of it will generate anything side hustle. Actually, I really need another survival hustle. eBay is my own survival hustle. We've talked about many times. All right, so let's look at, oh, so this is good news. Even though I stopped promoting, when I stopped promoting, my subscribers stop going down. But because my project journeyman's taking off a little bit here, we're back to 72,811. That was the peak of the subscribers I had when my promotions ended.

Meaning I only get a few views, whatnot. But because we had, my project journey was working out so far, we're getting more subscribers against. It's pretty awesome. Again, same deal. I make zero money for 8k views last night 63 thumbs up I only make like a penny off of live feeds at all even in peak time there's probably it doesn't show how long people are on it probably isn't that long but it doesn't live feed is different it doesn't give you doesn't give you stats on it all I can see is how many people watched and how many thumbs up I got show those thumbs down so the last two nights it's been 15.6k was a night before and an 8k last night so it's

going to half foot still awesome so we draw and it's got me back up to where I was for subscribers without promoting which I can't do anymore because I've got a car in there because it's fun so you know I can't subscribe to so any comments let's fix so there's lots of comments all night long but I obviously I'm sleeping there's no way I can reply

the other way you really can make money on live feed is you have to interact back to all the comments as if it was an open an open chat but I don't because I'm sleeping and I don't think there's any way I can use chat GPT to

interact if I can do that maybe at some point I can have chat GPT to be my reply present while I'm sleeping? That would be cool. The only thing I can do is I put on the screen some sort of, I have a conversation back and forth, just pretending that they can read the messages. It's great, but it's cool.

All right. Let's go to 11 hours. It always does 11 hours, 54 minutes, 55 seconds. I always sleep 12 hours. Just what I do. I take Remmeron, which is metazapine. It's an excellent thing to help you sleep. And it's also a mood stabilizer as well. I've been taking that for a long time. Better than Trazidone. I used to take Trasidone. That gives you a little bit more of a hangover. But both can be crazy, crazy dreams all that. So soon, hopefully. keep talking about it

it's coming I swear to God I'm not kidding it's a brain lead scan I got a hook up to myself and we're going to part of my routine with the visuals will be keeping an eye on my brainwave scheme not just going to just do that

we'll add them somehow do little visuals and then we'll check the brain length and do a visual sound up to three different things right now we'll probably have more Not too many more. It's enough just for fun. So you can have something to look at a little bit.

Most people don't stay alone. But they may. I don't know. I have no way to track if I've had any. The big thing is when I get up in the morning to shut my phone off and I check it before I shut the live feet off, I see it. This morning I saw 10 people still on.

That's a lot. Maybe they're sleeping along with me. It would be awesome. I call it quantum entanglement. say quantum entangle with me a million to hold that quantum stuff

all right so we fixed that I can't change that a little bit yeah so my revenue all the stuff we've been talking about

and of course and the big thing is that because I don't promote that from my regular videos do not get many views I've still only at $36 and 22 cents

means I made like a dollar in the last three or four when I promoted last month at $400 I got it up to about $60 for that month but then if you look at it I've spent $400 and only made $60

so that makes no sense at all but I was really enjoying and getting on subscribers and a little bit of revenue you have to get to $50 I mean I'm sorry you have to get to $100 to get paid

so we stopped promotions all together just had to I'm compensating a little bit to get more subscribers of project journey overnight so that's cool but at the end of the day

the revenue doesn't reflect it at all so maybe by next month I'll make my hundred dollars and I think I'm in debt still like 1,700 since I've been promoting

some reason we got to that amount of subscribers is I paid my wife the top and I think I've made $333 plus we'll get close to we had $68 made by next month I'll have 100 so we'll be at like $400 soon that I've made on YouTube for all the work just doesn't pay off all right let's go to where it does pay off my lifeline I call it eBay let's check it out pretty good well my sales ended yeah I just remember that so I sale landed therefore everything went down let's see we got to do all right so let's look at some feedback excellent as described of the Spy Hunter game and I had all Kogan this

this was an NES spy hunter Sunsoft was it was worth a little bit and then there was a Macintosh of the front Beasel Beasel arrived perfect intact just as described well packed and protected fast good value shipper thank you so that's pretty good. Thanks for delivery as these arms will come in handy screws screw set 14 screw sets that was pretty cool I had a little issue with another issue with some metal plates instead it's like twice now I've had a problem where I put them in a box and I throw some tape on and she'll put them metal plates and they just what I was and I wasn't happy they were they got damaged or bent or something

it was me only I already had a comment of a positive I'd say and saying I didn't have all the metal for the GameCube not I didn't have any paper on it and thought about put paper on metal it's metal so I said I put paper on metal now

and then yesterday I got a message that oh this goddamn you should have it should have been bubble wrapped so you can tell when you're you're getting at a point where it may be time to try to do other things which I have anyway which I've been trying to do

when two critics are about not packing metal plates correctly. But I'm sure I'm sure it wasn't as perfect as it could have been. Okay, it happens, man, I appreciate it. Oh, so. Hi. Okay. All right, so I got any other comments? Oh, MetaQuest.

Hello. I was going to offer through something, but I need to move money around and not going to make the time. Yeah, sure. Sure. That would be a good offer. It is super fun. This is for the MetaQuest. It's super fun.

I only used it. MetaQuest. MediQuest, T-E-S. Xbox Edition. It's really fun, but I just don't. And I can actually use it because the other headsets.

Oh, I had it. Sixth number of, why did that? Yeah, wait a lot higher than I don't. number oh yeah I've had 600 oh yeah that's something else so it's really fun it's some of me 350 you have a car payment now so I probably would take but my sale on is we need to start a new sale that's what I'm gonna do today most I sold another set of Nintendo Wii screw sets inner and outer screw sets I sell us all the time so I want mandible and sell it.

Let's go with a message. No problem. I'm always here to help. So I will see where I am. Really fun. I like to keep it, but no, probably not keep it. So I replied to that. reply to that those are my two messages there let's look at us i have one sale i see my

again if i don't do my 30% off in somewhat ways my sales go away oh that was the screw set so my sale i took a few of marketing and discounts uh my sale would have ended so we're going to end that So we're going to start a new sale, but this time we're going to throw a coupon and mix it up. So it's not the same 30% each week. It still comes out to around 30%, but I do it differently. With coupons, I can send the coupons out. So we're going to create a discount.

We're going to do a coupon this week. And we're going to do it at 20% and 20% coupon. I'm going to run it for about a week. September's are just chugging away. Now we want to do it for today is Tuesday. So we want to do it to next Monday. 15th. We're going to call it FFGame.

That's going to do September. That's the name of the code. That's your code. You put an FF game set. except 25 if you do if you do discounts and stuff on eBay they don't charge you but if you promote through eBay in any way then they charge you so I don't I don't promote you can do it off off-site you can do lots other stuff so we can do FF game September 20 25 20 I want to do 20 this is 20%

20 are 20 can't get off on that September 20, I believe it's September 20 because I'm going to 20% off. All right, so we'll launch that, complete that. So now I get the option here where I can't do that with sales. I just have a sale, there's nowhere to promote it. And I can also, I can select buyer groups that I can send these. One I just made. First, I have four different ones.

One says, thank you, bonus savings. So all the buyers that are in that, that are in that, that they're going to get this coupon so I like doing coupons but I don't go a lot of times buyers don't do it you know don't want to check out they'll use a coupon I'll repeat buyers is another one that's a bulk group of buyers that get the coupon and then I have a couple more I can do it our followers is another one so then those get the coupon can you make the coupon and then you make sure it gets sent out to anybody that might use it and paid buyers was the last one four

different things all right so those are all there all right so that's done so now let's go up I can still share it now so we can go to my I use X so we'll share x i don't know but somewhere i hit something while sharing my my my my live stream that got me a lot more views i'm not sure what i kept i share all my live streams too on x and all that stuff so i just need to hit something right but somebody's maybe when i hit something right something's not significant all right so my pin interest which i never understood pin interest does anybody know what interest is just pin an interest what does that do I will never understand what pin interest is about this is the weirdest thing ever it's it's been an interest

but anyway we're we're we're sharing my social my sale to pin interest although I don't even know if I have anybody that watches or sees that probably not or don't anymore just because Pinterest is funny I had a few different pin interests let me come up with that idea it's called pin interest all right so we promoted all those the coupon wherever I could send it I can do LinkedIn but I'm not logged in I got to do it my phone we'll do that later so that was done now we're gonna do so that's 20% we just did right 20% oh did I'm already watching all right so that coupon is it is going to

up so we'll do one more thing we'll create another discount but this is just a sale of it and we're gonna leave it at 10% off you're gonna get 20 what start you can go in where you get a percentage off and you can use a coupon uses one of the other but I do go I do 10% off that'll do 10% off lots of bills So I give you a total 30% if you use you'll get the instant 10% and then you can use your coupon for another 20%. Let's mix it up. And so again the 15th. And we're going to use all my sales.

Having the adding my $4 flat fee made a huge difference. Good and bad from my eBay store. That is I lost lots of sales. But good is when I do have sales. is when i do have sales everything's now even one ounce now is about five bucks to ship so four dollars doesn't really cover the whole shipping costs so with that extra i can do uh the big sales off my little little guys listings anything my 13 is my minimum water so you take 30 percent off of that but i have the extra four dollars so i can make a few bucks still

comes out the same in the end but it just made a different all right so we're going to do that sale just going to start now it's going to go for a week it's going to give you 10% off and then if you see the coupon you get 30% so that's pretty cool so two sales it's active 20% off coupon it's already active and a sale event and that's how we mix it up next week I'll probably just do straight I don't know I never do just straight coupons because they got to see some sort a sale on the listing but I will a lot of times I'll do direct just sales no coupon next week that's probably what I'll do and there's also no way to send another another offer after that and not throw another 5% so it's 35% and still no matter

what I do buyers will half act off of that 35% off the best offers because I always at best offers it's been interesting stuff I take what I want and I delete the rest decline the rest all right everyone so it looks like I think this morning here let's see a wrap her time oh good good in 32 minutes here this man all right so you have a good day beginning the second day of the work week whether here's getting a little bit cooler hopefully you're not too cool yet and things are going to change really quickly and they always do it for the fall but when we really like to fall. All right so I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. All right. Bye.
