Yesterday we did a long video. I did yesterday, but we did a long video for a little while. I tried to at least one a day. but we'll see what today we're gonna bring oh yesterday we're kind of tarry that was pretty fun Atari and um about an hour and a half tarry 800 the original 800 pulled it it all apart and the Texas instrument we did get the audio video cable to work I just had the setting on the wrong thing I had it on TV instead all your video at the end there so yeah that works fun at the cable so we got that listed Texas instrument comes at all the stuff and also

So I listed all the top pieces to the 800. I just left the key motherboard. It's got some fun cartridge slots inside of it, which I never knew about until I opened it up. So I always opened systems up just to see what it's up. They're really fun to you get in there and see what's going on in there. That one fully works, as far as I know. I learned a huge thing yesterday,

but there was between 9-volt AC power adapters for Atari's and 9-volt-DC power adapter. which I did not know. One is the 9 volt AC are the ones you use for the disk drives. I have two floppies, the 810s. And we have one power supply and it will also work for the 800 itself. But the other ones, the 9 volt DC are for 5200s. Huge difference. Guys, so we learned that yesterday. Luckily, I don't think I tried testing those floppies yet I would have just stuck one of the plugs in there thinking it was the same, but it's not a big big thing I learned yesterday And of course all the plugs are the same so that each one would fit into the other so that makes them a lot more difficult You don't pay attention. I didn't all right, let's see what's going on this morning Okay, one Thursday

All right, let's see. Let's see what's going on here. Outward 2. I planned some more Zelda yesterday. I was able to figure out how to get it up until the hot spot. Gordon City there. That's pretty cool. And we also got the Lost Woods the other day.

I think I've actually already done all these places, but it's been such a long time. It's like planning a new game again. the game again. We're willing to do it. We're going to finish it. I'll use my buddy Zippy a few times to get a couple hints. Back in the day, as I said yesterday, you had to pay to get hints. I had to go to a hint line. He had to charge you.

Capcom was good known for that hit line. It's funny to think about it. Okay. Now we get it. we can get any info we want and instead of it be awesome future's been pretty cool all right so let's see we had those couple sales working good now and before didn't even though I replaced the battery thanks cool so this is another good five-stop feedback just came in and that's for uh power supply for the Nintendo GameCube this with the cable

on the screw so he was able to fix his thing with a replacement power supply that I ship them pretty awesome so we've been doing good five stars we have seven and thirty six five stars well overall I mean I do have a few batch feedbacks but I'm a few because it's not perfect it's very difficult to me perfect But I come pretty close, though. I give everything I have each order. I've sold 2,117 things on Etsy. For every one thing at Etsy, I sold like 300 on eBay.

So Etsy's not even quite the side quest or side hustle wherever. Not even. Let's look at my parchment here. see my closet one thousand two hundred and thirty nine hours see my sales one sale it was a good sale too I just haven't made anything else I got to go through that organize a little bit we'll get to it all right so let's go on to RSS feed see we didn't have a download yesterday so quiet because you go through a few days or there's no downloads

podcasts have been a little bit shorter only because I don't have a lot going on and normally most of it is when I get to eBay so when I get to eBay then we can see that usually dictates how everything goes for my day

all right so we had one download yesterday we have 57 in the last 30 days 1,2131 all right that's what we got UK, Manchester, United States, Rock Hill. Now the UK, Waugham Forest,

sounds pretty cool, Israel, Tel Aviv, and Canada, Toronto. It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. It's always exciting to see where ends up. We've got a consistent group of people coming in, so I appreciate that. It's always fun, exciting. exciting uh let's go to so my youtube uh has been really growing again because i

put x amount into it for this month for promotions so let's rule right now really exciting 7,000 I'm 76,545 we've gone up 3,762 I want to say in the last 10 days probably even earlier than that so it's pretty awesome my revenues ticked up just a bit 23 bucks and 79 cents

but as always my average duration is 30 seconds you had 40 views for my Atari yesterday and that was not promoted so it's a little bit more than normal that was a fun video

I'd like to promote that one too let me throw a few bucks committing to promotions right now so we had some videos that were around 2k here and there see if we have any new subscribers I can subscribe to try to subscribe I only see some of them so the number is on I see on for more subscribers is I think a lot of them are just I don't think it's really subscribers I'm getting if they are there's arrows so I can see the one more the only ones I see I'll click on and subscribe to them to but obviously I'm not showing I'm not getting seeing those next 3,000 and I'm still asking very patiently for an auto-subscribe button would make my life easier and I would like to be able to also subscribe to those I can't

can't see. That's only fair, right? If you're subscribed to me, I should be able to subscribe to your end too. So I have lots of ones who subscribe to today. Cool. What's what we're doing? We're clicking through. So a lot of them I can see today. And many of these may not stay on, but at least I'll be on their end. So that's what we're doing. We're still clicking on more than usual. that I can find. Yeah, they'll be awesome today.

Cool. Most of them is the, so I look at their subscribe, how many they have five describers, one that's 45, one. Once it's a sub-describer. That's weird. Felt different. well so we're still growing so excited about that keep clicking on all the ones we're

gonna go do it at ebay in a minute we'll see what's see what my day's going oh wow today cool it's only makes sense that if you somebody's on your end you want to be on their end too you can only uh get your cool there lots in today all right and that's it cool so I maybe a hundred no nine foot maybe 50 I just did all right so let's check out everything yeah no comments a video yesterday not promoted it pretty good for you four you use live stream I did yesterday I had a pretty good amount of views to my numbers are going up a little bit now that significantly my watch hours is 716 and my view in my view hours are 128

actually 716 is actually low now all right let's check how impact see what we got let's see what my day goes today we had some interest in some of the Atari things that I listed yesterday but he was in Canada so he was complaining about the charge should nothing I could do about that all right so let's first look at feedback from the PS2 game quickly as described would buy again from the seller all those those teeny screws for the PS2 fat the ones that on the disk door just tray in this door six of them but again my minimum was 13 dollars and then uh excellent seller fast shipping with Tandy 1000 I gave it Adrian 1000 EX Adrian basement I can't find the

extension but I had a better one's I gave him the better one the same place I'm good luck now I don't have all right let's see return request ah I know return request oh they're damaged oh oh it's not working What's that one? Oh my detail of this robot? I detail of this robot. was not working, all this was a part of all this was a parts item. I'll look through again, make sure that's right.

Let's see the listing. So right now I'm doing damage control. Let me see if I wrote that in. I'm pretty sure I did. See original listing. Yep. So let's go back to the turn. I detailed.

this not charging and had a video. one damage control I specifically detailed that I even had a video this was detailed with all issues I was selling all this as a arts item no return offered. But I'm sure eBay will make you return it anyway. Alright, so we got to start out of that. Sorry. I'll return. I went out of my way detailing exact issues. I even had a video.

all right so I have a question all right so we'll have to do that some damage control all right so let's go to Atari no I'm missing before I'm not asking you too I was simply wondering why the fabric desk always so it doesn't matter this is this is Weight does not matter. I cannot ship even one ounce. I cannot ship even one ounce now. Now in the USA item.

four less than five dollars which does not matter at the lowest lowest point I cannot chip you one ounce now in US a even one ounce now in US a even one ounce now in the US for less than five dollars less than five dollars my cost the international shipping charge is usually is usually $20 extra. I have no control. It is what it is. You're in another country.

So extra charges happen as set as the world is today. Weight does not matter at its lowest point. I can, that being said, I can put both top cover, top cover, And it's soft case in one listing to purchase as just one order. So it's two separate listings, so he wants to charge him twice. All right, says also I have. a question and a special motherboard did you see what no as detailed I have no I have no idea about it I sold every

other part I had for this no issues the same now once did any of those buyers complain about about all the other parts not working. This tells me that this exact that this exact motherboard most likely likely could be that issue overall, but I still do not know. It was a, the Panasonic Q, GameCube, the DSL-D-Sle-D-Sle-GC-10. I got it I got it partial I was missing the front panel so I never tested any of it

it and I sold every single part I sold them that those are real expensive to try to find that not once not once did any those buyers complain about all the other parts network. It just tells me that this exact motherboard most likely could be the issue overall. I still do not know. So that's my provider. I have no idea about it. So I have a return request. We had two sales. Let's see we have this sale. So two things. So damage control. I specifically detailed that. Another top cover for the Nintendo.

The Xbox 360 Fat. Those are the original ones there. And it's a cover that covers where the hard drive was. It's a cover for it. And then also I have a fan for the Model A. Well, there are lots of those fans. Those are those big giant fans. So the PS3 fat, PS3 fattes.

And they have, I call it a car radiator inside there. The heat sink set with a giant fan. It's so big those things. It's a monster. So I saw one of the fans. Pretty cool. They're awesome. Yeah, we're going to find them, but they're awesome.

All right, everyone sells. I'll let's like it. So just a couple of orders. It's cool. Let's see what we'll figure out what my problem is with the order. Alright, so let's go back to that return for a more second. I've got to add in a comment too. So this was selling this was selling for all not extra items.

boxes instructions a partial map etc and a parts robot as detailed as detailed It was sold very low with discounts up to 30% off. up to 30% off. So that's my other detail. So you got the two boxes. Finally, in no way, in no way, Did my item ship or arrive damaged? It sold and delivered exactly as a

as I detailed both in wording in wording and video. No way more I could have explained. what exactly you would be getting I will not take this return but I am sure eBay will finally see your side, even though it is untrue and not fair at all. No more, no way more I could have explained. It was explained what exactly you would be getting. I will not take this return, but I am sure eBay at some point. We'll finally see you, we'll finally go your way.

go your way, go your way. Even though it is completely untrue and not there. Everything about... this is wrong. I've never had where eBay favors me for a return, even though I explained it over and over again. So they always favor for the buyer. So eventually I'll hope they can take the return.

I'll complain about it until. Because if it's something I did, of course, I'd be the first one to say, yeah, sure. But if I didn't, then I'm going to, I really can't fight it, but I'm going to grovel about it for a while. It can be in some point because it's not there. I put all that info because in the end of the day it's costing me that round trip return fees there and back. And of course now I'll get a negative feedback from this buyer saying that I did something wrong.

I was selling it as a bunch of all the fun and stuff with it and then a broker robot that you had to fix. That's what I was selling. So I'm sure I'll hear back. I'm sure I'll hear back from that. We'll give it back at some point. Well, we haven't had it on quite some time. Normally, I do pretty good. I didn't make a mistake on this one.

I detailed exactly, even with the video. And then he got it, and it's a surprise that doesn't work. So why would you be surprised if you didn't read the details? Plus, it was also 40% off, so. But we'll see what happens with that. I stick to my guns. I don't just give in. But that's just to me it's not fair.

I put all that time effort into detailing it, putting a video, all of that, and you still, I'm trying to overturn it for the exact reason that I said, then I, like, I stand the ground. But eBay always gives, eBay always favors the fire stuff. But I'm just like that. All that work for nothing. And then to complain about this is the exact issue that actually, it's detailed as, it's really free. frustrate for anyone out there that can feel my frustration you know what I'm saying all right so we'll just end on that so a longer podcast today so you never know when I get to eBay what things are going to happen other than that damage control that's really no damage all everything

else is fine but we start to deal with it okay easily you just took the return and and it kept quiet better than want let's talk about things that are of not correct after all the work you put into something very important to talk about that can you got to show the bad stuff too and most of it's good here but sometimes it's something that's weird that I didn't expect so we deal with it all right everyone so you have a good afternoon and I will talk to you tomorrow all right bye
