Episode Date: February 19, 2025

Many Times Buyer need an exact Model Chip off Certain Motherboards.

Good morning everyone. Good morning everyone. It is now almost 8 o'clock, 741. This long dark winter is finally starting to get to me. I'm just kind of sleeping a lot later. Although I did get a lot of stuff done once I get up. It's just getting just kind of want to get past this rest of this winter and get into the spring. Do some recycling, some moving around stuff stuff outdoor stuff uh things like that so yeah like i said it's been a long winter winters are long anyway but it just this year we don't really have a lot of snow which we don't usually anymore but uh lots of cold uh and i work from inside anyway so it doesn't really affect me too much.

But I'd like to get out a little bit in the spring and the summer. Although I still work inside all the time anyway. But it's just that the change of seasons would be nice. I'm looking forward to it. So yesterday I spent all day getting my orders done. Luckily the night before I got a bunch of them done. And then I spent pretty much the whole day yesterday doing orders. I finally finished my orders.

And then I was looking for something in my room. Which if you know, if you've seen the videos in my room. It's my gaming time machine as I call it. And it's just stacks and rows of stuff everywhere. So I was looking for something. So I reorganized a little bit while I was doing that. So I put a couple of hours to reorganizing. Looking around for some stuff.

I found one. Because I want to go to Commodore 128. I found the cables I was looking for. So I can test some of the floppy drives I have. So I found that. And organized some stuff. Oh, and then I found a stack of Nintendo DS lights on a shelf. Of course, things are always on

shelves and they're collecting dust. I pulled those all out and I made one video yesterday of testing all of them. And most of them actually work, other than the battery. So DS lights, I don't think the other DS is the same way. If the battery doesn't work, then it doesn't do anything.

So you replace the battery and then most of them power down. A couple of them had screen issues. If it's a flasher, meaning it goes, the light for a second then goes off, that usually means that you have a screen problem somewhere too. So I think had four that i had an issue or i think i had one had no power but the rest all worked to some degree so that's pretty exciting so i did a video yesterday so the only video i did because i began spending most of my day was reorganizing um just so i could find some stuff.

And then we'll proceed on a lot more videos and things like that going forward. I just took a break over the weekend. I didn't play any game yesterday at all. So we're done playing games for a while. Yesterday was just, again, I had to get my orders all out. Long holiday weekend things pile up. And I kind of let it pile up more than I normally do. But I did get many of them done the night before so that really helped me out but i still had a lot to do

so we're off to uh let's say so it says 2 19 2025 which is we are on a wednesday i believe yeah wednesday so let's see what's going on in the world here. And later in the day. So let's see what we got going on here this morning. Let's check the news. So I heard that Windows 12 is coming out in late September Windows 95 uh government's doing it's thingy

there's another zombie movie called There's a Zombie Outside pretty wild new x-ray machines There's another zombie movie called There's a Zombie Outside. Pretty wild. New x-ray machines. Keep talking about this asteroid that's going to hit the Earth in 2032. So I'll see what that's all about. Five Nights at Freddy's. Quantum effects make distant objects move together.

This may happen with ripples in space the quantum effect flying cars lots of fun stuff going on here but nothing really that see Elon Musk weighs in on $5 million dividends. So we have a co-government now. Co-run government. Just different. But again, I believe the change is good. So I'm not sure where it's going, but it's interesting so far. All right, so let's see. Let's go to Etsy.

Been on a little bit of roll no nothing this morning sold some stuff etsy have not seen about this return yet i can't say that i've gotten past it but i'm waiting for a couple things uh five stars i like five stars uh so all my feedback going coming in has been good for on etsy looked a good review great product and as described perfect fit so that's cool a double five star try to get everything out normally i don't have issues but every once in a while there is something either i did something wrong or or something weird with the buyer end. I never know what's going to happen.

All right, so let's go to my RSS feed. Still just doing the one in the morning, but we'll just keep continuing to that. Now it will just be if I do something midday, it will be a bonus basically for now. And then maybe we'll come up with an idea down the road here alright so I'd like to see so I'm at 200 and how many have I done 206 since I started

my podcast here most of them again early in the morning I've only been getting like one download if I get that oops no downloads so that's a bummer so no downloads we'll come up with some more stuff i gotta get my second uh second act back in as we go along here all right so let's go on to this also goes to youtube and

goes through other places so if i get any it goes a few different places all right so we're on to youtube i'll segue right into that all right so we we did just one video yesterday. I significantly cut down on those two just because I've been busy doing other stuff. Although, it's still going up. I'm at 18,738 subscribers. No comments. And, of course, my estimated revenue went down to $28.83. It says my average duration was 4 minutes and 15 seconds, which is a lot for me for an average duration. Usually it's only 30 to 40 seconds. Hence why I don't really get much revenue. I have 58 views on my... Testing my Witch McCall yesterday.

I've been doing a closer view. I try to mix it up. Overview. View over the whole desktop. On my workbench. Or if I do a close up one. So I did a close up yesterday. Testing all my DS.

And that's about it for that. Let's see. What's going on here? My average view time is going significantly down since I've significantly not done that as many things.

Alright. So let's go on and see what's going on on eBay. Significantly not done that as many things. All right. So let's go on and see what's going on on eBay. I've just got to take a little breath here before we go to eBay because you never know what's going on. It's been pretty good lately, eBay. There was a guy who was asking. Oh, there was a guy who was asking about. There's an offer for that, but I'm afraid what's going to be offered. He wanted.

Ah, darn. Another return. Return approved. Phillips is returning. Ah, you knucklehead. You're turning the board on me? It shouldn't have been a return on that. Bubber.

Oh, he ordered the wrong one. Ah. So, I shouldn't have had to return on that. But, oh well. So, $70. Yeah, I'm not taking that. Let's just do it. Oops. So, I'm not taking that. Yeah, let's, let's just do, oops. So, I'm just eventually gonna just keep,

probably just keeping that. So, my offer, it went. Two Liquid Containers For $90 I would sell two liquid containers for $9. $9. alright so we're definitely not going to do that defective donor does it turn on

does it turn on most most times someone's asking asking about Xbox 1540. Most times these are a power issue. Xbox 3. No, I'm sorry. Xbox One 1540. The original ones. There is a 1520. I've never had one, though, I'm sorry. Xbox One 1540, the original ones.

There is a 1520. I've never had one, though. But 1540 is asking about the motherboard. Most times these are a power issue. However, I've got to get some of those listed. I have many that do power on. That do, that do power on that do to power on but have a 60 60 percent stuck 68 percent percent stuck I'm gonna get some of those lists I think actually 68% stuck

common issue. I do have a fully working. I also have a fully working one not listed. BenQ, $50. Let's see what that's for. Remote, no.

I'll hold off on that right now. See, if you're way off on an offer, although I'm not offering, I'm asking a lot for it, which I know I'm not going to get, but I'm not going to take significantly much off. Especially something I really don't want to sell right now. So, buy a counter. Okay, just pay for the two pieces. Okay, just pay for the two pieces. Okay, I just paid for the two pieces. Yes. Yes.

I will show you both exact. So this is the guy from yesterday asking about PS3 motherboards for the 2501A. This is a specific model of a chip on there. At the video about it video video on my YouTube YouTube YouTube channel a bit later. I'll do that first thing this morning. They will ship this morning. This morning. Okay.

So, okay. And then, alright, so we'll do that. I have a like a magnifying screen thing where I can show the chip the chip numbers on a video I've got two of them actually $25 yeah everyone's today's a half off day when it comes to offers here, or like four-quarters of it off. Half-off, three-quarters. Morning, I guess you want to call it. They all get declined, of course.

I decline 99.9% of the time I decline everything. I don't do counters because it's a simple concept. If you give me a low offer i decline it i'm not going to waste my time or the buyer's time trying to do a counter any of that nonsense if you want most people are just into uh one offer really low and then if i decline it they go away which is nice because i don't really need them all right and so there's therefore no sense to waste my time with counters especially if it's way off all right so a couple feedbacks here uh well actually just one from yesterday absolutely love it helped restore my console that was missing the front doors prior to this very fast shipping many many thanks front panel for the Xbox 360 fat the white I had a

have a few left hard to get them one out one of the flaps either the USB or the memory flaps broken but or that they're not really really dark and faded yellowed a little bit so i think i took an offer a little most took a low off on that so i have two orders declined everything although i mean if you add all that up that's still a lot of money i declined however all of them were significantly lower than what i was going to do. Plus I had an order for two motherboards from the guy I worked out. And

the F board. I guess I'll have to let him do that. I hate to do that. But we'll do it anyway. Alright, so that's all I have for issues. This order isn't nothing else really going on. Let's see where we're do it anyway. All right. So that's all I have for issues, orders, and nothing else really going on. Let's see what we're at for time.

Let's see. So, yeah, like I said, I don't really take offers because usually an offer, most for buyers, is way off. And I do it too. So if I see something I want i'll i'll chop it down see if i can get a little bit lower uh but as a seller i just decline it and move on and sometimes people will come back and offer another offer some people come back around if they come around a few times for an offer then i may hang with them a little bit more, but normally I don't. Especially if they're way off, because it's no sense.

And I know I'm never going to get the price that I have listed for it. However, I want to get closer to them, what it is. And a lot of these are buyers that are in California. One of that was a big item. One of the offers was for a... What do you talk about that one? It's called a Voxilab. It's a Voxilab 3D printer. It's one of those resin 3D printers,

which I really don't understand how to use it. I had gotten it, but it also comes with three gallons of three jugs of resin. Which those are like 50 bucks each. So, and I never used it. So, those three

resins were more than the offer was for that and the 3D printer. So, and I did find some of the extraD printer. So. And I did find some of the extra stuff for it too. I found the this is like a manual and a few little things for it.

I was really into 3D printing but I've never actually 3D printed anything. I have three 3D printers. But I just haven't gone back to it thought i thought it was something i was gonna do and then it just kind of got away from me not that i can't go back to it but my 3d printers are probably out very outdated now compared to the newer ones but i do have them and eventually i'll probably either just resell the old ones too. So I'll get this one listed now.

But I'm not going to sell it at that price. So again, we had two orders. Oh, so I had the guy who did the return. No, no, it's a different one. Let's see if it is. Is it the same guy who opened a return? I'm not not a fan open a return and then buying something different no philips no it's a different one that was my b and let's see which one so uh x01 through 05 original Xbox.

There are five disk drives in them. Samsung being one of them. But there's two versions of Samsung. They're both terrible, the dreaded Samsung. And one has the 605B. And then there's the 605F. So, this guy returned a 605B. And, nope, it's a different guy.

And I had somebody order the 605F, which is ironic. So I just didn't realize I had a return on it, which is a bummer. But I think that's the better. The 605B is the one that's more sought after so I'll just take it back

that's all the returns I have I have one other return but the guys just never returned it I don't know and I'm not gonna refund until

it comes back now I gave up on I used to be a nicer seller and return give you a refund as soon as you shipped it I would refund it but then I was always getting I used to be a nicer seller and return, give you a refund.

As soon as you shipped it, I would refund it. But then I was always getting back weird things. Now I want to get them back, see what it's all about, do a little video on it, and then refund. So I'm going to pay the round trip as it is. Most of these are wasted returns. This one was a buyer didn't read the listing didn't know there was two different models and therefore uh returned it but that's that one shouldn't have a return on i must have missed it somehow but i'll just resell it but i still lose the the round trip whatever even if whatever. Even if it's just a small little board. So a round trip on that is about $6, $5 one way.

So about $10 I lose for that. So it's kind of like taking $10 out of my pocket for no reason. Just throwing it out the window. Because the buyer didn't do something or didn't read it. And I try to detail as much as I possibly can. Just throwing it out the window. Because the buyer didn't do something. Or didn't read it. And I try to detail as much as I possibly can. Therefore that's why I don't really get that many returns. But when I do.

I still complain about them. Because I lose money. Who wouldn't complain about losing 10, 20 bucks. For nothing. I don't know anybody that wouldn't complain. I try to complain. But I find it a way to vent. It gives me that avenue. And I use YouTube as my way to vent when it comes to things like that.

So if I'm going to lose the $10, I at least want to throw it on YouTube and complain about it. And now I have a guy who is offering me so now I have a second offer on something so let's see what he's got now this was on the so this is a live re-offer $15 I'm still not going to take it again for me offers are a few dollars off that's about it so I just keep declining usually if I keep declining somebody will contact me like what's going on I'm like you want to client on if it's something really big like if if I have something listed at $200, I might sell it for $125. Absolutely.

If I have something that's $25 and you want to knock it down to $10, I'm not going to do it. Because it's going to cost me $13 to ship it. So now his second offer is $15. It's too low and therefore you can just find somebody else I guess I always say that selling gaming parts over the years has hardened my soul kind of a bitter old man when it comes to selling stuff. I can't help it. If you have to deal with what I do every day, you don't understand.

I try to be upbeat and positive as much as possible. And I'll do anything and everything to help you out. But if it's something that's not something I can deal with, then I just kind of put it away. All right Alright guys. I'll have some videos up. We're going to look at those two boards I have with a zoomed in video

so you can see the exact one that the guy was looking at. Alright so you guys have a good afternoon and I'll talk to you later. Alright bye.
