Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Wednesday 3/26/2025

Episode Date: March 26, 2025

I am having a few days March Madness eBay and Etsy Sale of over 20% Off .

Good morning everyone. It is now 628 and it is what Wednesday? Yeah, I think we're on Wednesday 326 2025 So March is just marching along as you could say so we're up and down with the weather really nice yesterday and Now they wouldn't get a little bit cold little rain. So do it back forth So I kind of like this time of the year though, so This all the way until like July and then I don't like July and all that so yesterday. I worked on spectrum I was looking at my

Saint clear mountain. I is Sinclair spectrum Z Z X spectrums I have a 2A plus and a 3 plus. And then we learned with my buddy Zippy that they are, was bought out by Armstrad. And then inside of it were both more Armstrad boards. So interesting. I was able to get a little bit of video through RF Channel 39 or 36 I think it is. but I couldn't really see it too bad. I have to invest in a SCART 8 pin so that I can get out to a monitor. I looked at some original monitors too but they were expensive. So that was sort of a fun thing. That's the only one I have not taken apart and haven't really tested. none of the I assumed that I didn't even know that Armstrong had purchased those in it had

Armstrong boards in it but they're different so I can't use any of my software I've got some disks cassettes because one's a cassette the 2A plus is a cassette but it runs like a two or three plus and it has actually the newer board than the three plus does but I can't use any software because it's different it's a different OS I guess the way it does programming but I can put a go tech in one of them so we'll see we'll find a cassette or two and games or something just to play it and but I just hadn't torn that one apart and I really wanted to get to it so it was my fun little project yesterday and then I also decided yesterday to start a sale on eBay so we've got a big sale going on for make

like a March Madness kind of sale for a few days here so like 30% off with the coupons and stuff so if you need some stuff I decided to run a sale so we'll see if we get any because it's been really quiet so we just needed we needed to do some sort of a sale yeah and that's yeah I worked on that for a while let's see what's going on here this morning so the news more government stuff that's all I like to say there's no other way I can say it I'll try to look around here see if I can find anything that's assassin assassin Creed shadows is one of the best launches yet.

So I guess that one looks pretty good. There's been so many millions of Assassin Creeds that were made. I think I got like three or four over the years and I ain't getting any more. I'm playing, yesterday I sat down and I've been into my Silent Hill 2. I'm deep into the hospital now. So that's pretty fun. It's kind of freaky but pretty cool. I got a little nurses with the canes running around chasing you. I always do it on the cheapest, I mean on the easiest setting possible. I just want to play the game. I don't want to be a hero at it. So that's alright. So I really haven't died that

many. A couple times I think I died but I'm just going through it just to play the game. So I'm about nine hours into it so I think it said it's about ten hours long so we're getting there. It's been a long time since I finished the games I really want to finish one and I've got a few other games that I'm working on nothing really have a shooter type. Oh these are all those Dark Anthology games. Those were really fun for me. Just kind of walk around and it's almost like a story. House of Ashes. Really into that right now so that's pretty cool. I started a sale

on Etsy too. But no sales. I had one order a couple days ago. Let's check for feedback here. So today we're going to work on, I think I'm going to go to Wheeze. I've got all those loaded Wheeze. I'm going to start selling some of them as loaded homebrewed boards. So we might go through those, throw a couple up. And I had a 40 board that I listed yesterday so we're gonna do some more Wii motherboards I also have a K1 motherboard which is the Wii motherboard without the GameCube ports also a 3 volt board that buyers will use so we'll we'll see what my eBay is right now this morning

I didn't hear much going on so we'll see what my eBay is right now this morning. I didn't hear much going on, so we'll see. Let's look at my RSS feed. It's been very quiet. I haven't had any downloads in a few days, but I always put it up anyway. I'm always doing stuff, so we're going to wake up the morning talking about what's going on here in my little world And again, it's always my message in a bottle over the internet ocean for anybody that would like to listen in But then I go again go go to my youtube

I've got tons of videos always doing something. That's my main gaming hub right there Here is just my morning podcast right now. I was doing some mid afternoon, but I will go back to it Right now we're just kind of Just going through the mornings another so I really haven't in any downloads in about three or four days now So my all my red dots have gone so no Well, hopefully somebody will come back in around sooner or later if not it goes on to my YouTube anyway So I'll get a few views on it there

So that's what why I really started this podcast was for for YouTube because it was a place on YouTube To do something else so I said hey, well muscle saddle or podcast They'll come home to begin, but I've kind of quieted down a little bit Well, we'll come up with some more ideas. Alright so let's see what YouTube is this morning. I think I just did that one post one video yesterday. I was gonna do a one-on-one yesterday. That's what I was gonna get to but then I just didn't didn't really get there. So My average duration was uh, so I'm at 29,220 subscribers Very exciting. Uh, I won my average duration was 11 minutes and 54 seconds. So that's pretty cool. That's a long for me Great video, mate. Don't listen to all the negative

for me great video mate don't listen to all the negative thanks I will thank you that's pretty cool says great video don't listen to all the negative comments, all your ems look very happy and well taken care of. Keep it up pal. That's awesome. That's what we like, just good positive, that's not all I'm about. I think that was my only comment. So let's see.

All my videos have gone down significantly because it's the end of the month and I'm gonna get hit hard with a Google payment it's gotta be over $200 I spent but it helped me rack up to I've had 9519 subscribers in the last 28 days and it's all due to mostly due to well first it's my hard work of putting videos up all day long every day I do video I do a regular one and I do a live feed usually But not only that is I usually promote but I'm only promoting it like five dollars a video But I had a few videos that I really liked So we put those at a little bit more like 1020. So you add all those up. This is gotta be over 200

Little bit more like 1020. So you add all those up. This is gotta be over 200 So my am I been doing my stop motions? I did a few of them this week I got my sanely Santa that one's got 550 one of yous. That's pretty cool in my erratic. Elmo was my last one I did I like that one too. Just some silly stuff different trying to mix it up come up with new ideas We getting outside soon. So we'll do some outside stuff. There's always ideas to come up with. But mainly it's gaming and stuff, and vintage computing. So, alright, so let's see. So that's where we're at here.

I didn't really hear much going on on eBay. Let's take a look. I sold a couple things yesterday after the sale started. Oh, maybe we'll get a couple more. That would be cool. I need to muster up a little. Act now to regain status. I don't know what that even means. eBay just has this thing where it just keeps knocking you down.

I do everything. Oh, I actually have five orders. Oh cool, yay. And there's, I mean you can only do so much and it's saying I'm not top rated anymore for whatever reason. I don't know. Defect. closed tracking. I mean I can't do any more than I possibly can do Selling game parts sod alright, so 30

What's this one? I? Think we already did that one. That's what we already did right? Yeah that one. I already did so yeah So I got a couple orders out yesterday that's cool uh yes sent it okay i had not heard back so yes it was shipped already so I told the guy that I had to change the listing to it should have been super Texas instrument. Let's see what we got here. $2.25, $50.

Yeah, I'm just kind of putting things through right now. So we'll let that go. So we need to muster up some, end of the, get some bills for the end of the month here. So, letting things go a lot lower. But they're not selling higher, so I might as well go lower, right? Then I'll sell something.

Let's see what we got for orders here. Until I did my sale yesterday, I was having no orders. So now we got a few orders now. Cool. So two of them are I have two defective donor motherboards VA zeros so it's order for that and then I have

Inside screws and outside screws for the Nintendo Wii. Oh, I sold my disk drive for my I sold my disk drive for my This drive for ps4 slim I pulled apart the other day I Sold my 40 board. I knew I'd sell that pretty quick and I sold a keyboard cool. I sold my keyboard for my Tandy 1000 hx so some some good stuff here and Again, it was significantly cheaper with all the discounts. So I knew I would sell them that way So that's a good little deal

So we got a few orders. Yeah, so you can do this different ways to promote on eBay the The You may want you to go through them promote through listings promote your stuff, but then they charge you more then you can do but you can also do coupons or Just a sale without having to get charged more from eBay and That's the way I do it I did try doing promoting for them and it was just killing me. Especially if you do each listing. Oh my god. I mean, each. Yeah. It was like $2-$3 per listing and I was getting wrecked. With more fees than I was actually making extra.

So it was definitely not in my favor. But now it's doing it this way. It's easier. I had to learn how to do it the correct way this It's called discounts as opposed to advertising You don't want to advertise I mean you mean if you want if you if you have I just don't have a lot of things that are really That's special to advertise so it has to be a niche kind of buyers So I just throw up a sale and then as we see I sold some things that probably wouldn't have sold at the price

They were before but I do have I do have best offers but a sale will automatically get people to take some stuff that you have because it's a good deal I was doing I think I did 20% plus another 5% on a coupon and then I think I threw another 5% on that so it was like almost 30-40% off just for a few days. That went back down to about 10% as we get into the first. So that's pretty cool. So let's see what else we got going on.

Oh let's check feedback. Feedback this morning. I like getting things packed well and shipped fast. Good value as described by the seller. Quality item which appears to be in great condition. Okay so that's two more. Oh there's a Wii. I've been selling lots of Wii power supplies.

I think I have two left but one has a ding in it on the cables I really can't sell amazing seller work perfect the Tandy 1000 Tam radio I sold that one 75 thank you what I needed pleasure to do business as always everything as described very reliable seller Recommendable so that's cool. See everything has been really good and positive, which is the only way I like things but things will go wrong my Amy AMD Athlon Came in yesterday Athlon AMD Athlon to

Maxes out one of my desktops that I came across. So we're going to give a feedback for that. I forgot to do it yesterday. It's always fast and as described, full five stars. Wherever I can put full five stars, I put full five stars. No matter what just cuz I'd want always the same too right you always want to the same for you so we sold those so that should give me I needed some extra little oomph this

morning so we did that and I'll throw them five more percent and then that'll help me get some stuff done that we need to do. Cool. Let's see what else we got going on. Yeah so come by if you want and see a couple sales that are going on for a little bit. It's mostly for the bigger items but the coupon I think is for everything. So it's a molto so you get a coupon and a sale. Pretty cool. But it definitely moves stuff around faster than if I didn't have any sale. Like if this weekend was really quiet I was like, ah, I need to ramp things up a little bit and that's all you need to do.

Alright, so I have a message here that just came in the window also Do you just have the bottom screws oh I do I Do have somebody just asked me I do Have those Let me get some listed today. He's asking for the bottom screws of the PS1, the small white one.

So I just happen to see a message pop up here while we're chatting here. And so I wrote him. So for me, if I see a message, other than when I'm sleeping, I will automatically reply at 6.45 in the morning. Okay, so as soon as I get out of bed, my store is open. I'm out of bed.

I am doing stuff. Shop's open. I'm answering messages. So, okay. I don't know if I have it over here to look see if I have it over here Let's see if I can really check to see just asked me Yeah, so he just messaged me it while he's asking about screws at 645 in the morning. I have no idea That's the funny part. But for me as the seller I'll reply That's the funny part. But for me as the seller, I'll reply.

So, let's just see if I have some of those already listed. I might. I'm not positive. So over on eBay, which is where I have more... Etsy is just a small, as I call it, a side quest store so I have all my stuff on eBay and then I post a lot of stuff over to eBay. Oh there it is. To Etsy rather. Let's see if I have those there. PS1 I had those screws at one time. Oh yeah there they are. I do have some.

I do have some. I do have more. So the PS1 screw. So what I'll do is throw him the link now to my eBay. I know I had a couple of those. And then instead of trying to make a new listing, won't need to I can just show them this link Yeah, it's a lot easier I Only have a couple of sets left. I think I just saw them just recently. I know I did So let's get back to this guy here I have them here So not only you get a reply at 645 in the morning you get the correct answer and where to buy your part

We can't get any better than that right Six screws Six screws. Alright, so that's my morning. Just plugging away my YouTube as always. Oh, I made a dollar yesterday. I made $31.07 which is big for me for this month. The most month I had was my first month December was

in the $40 so so it will take me a good three or four months to get my next hundred dollar payment but I didn't least make a hundred dollar payment but I'm way negative though so there's no way to really build it but it's still it's still growing up so that's pretty cool. Alright so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow. Alright bye.
