Morning, everyone. It is now 544. Today is November the 20th, 2025, and we're on Thursday.
So we're weeks going by quick, as they always do. Time just lies. It's pretty wild.
So yesterday, we did some cool stuff yesterday. Always do fun stuff. We worked on, oh, I had to pull 16 motherboards for the 0-1, 02,
the original Xbox, the 1.0, a 1.1 motherboard.
Luckily, I was able to rustle up a few, a bunch of them,
and we got that box out, of course. We shipped that yesterday.
And then before that, we worked on Xbox 11540.
Tested all those. That was pretty cool.
Most of them kind of work, or seem to work.
I had one that has no power, but it's got the cool case,
so, of course, I listed all those parts yesterday for that case.
separately you know as it comes apart I sell it separate
let's do some other 1540 stuff yesterday lots of good parts
1540s and I have a whole bunch from the pick from so pretty cool
list of some other boards too all right so let's see what's going on this morning
let's check it out weather's been pretty a little bit cooler
It's going to go on.

i watched about half of that last night so we'll finish it up well let's see oh um
Etsy? I haven't had any orders on it. I can do a little something. We've got to update Etsy a little bit.
Eventually, I have to stop. I have to pay a little bit. 20 cents per listing. I have 126 listings.
We may cut that down or add some other stuff. We. Again, we is 2006, so 2026. It's officially 20 years old, so then I get some more we parts on Etsy.
We're all kinds of stuff to Etsy.
I got some cool home glued themes that one of our motherboards put on Etsy as well.
So let's look at the parchment here.
Let's see.
I actually lost a couple of hours yesterday.
Oh, we went back up again, 1,270 for the parchment.
for a cashmark. I got tons of stuff listed here, but I don't sell me my sales.
I had that one sale at one time. So that stays consistent there. Not really doing anything
else with that at this point.
Yeah, we had a few other orders yesterday, so I was busy with orders, which is great because I've got a lot more overhead right now, but.
It's pretty awesome. All right, let's see what we had for yesterday, for RSS. Two downloads yesterday.

All right, so let's get to business.
eBay.

and we will continue to do that.
especially with all the stuff that I got in
I was able to start relisting things I hadn't listed quite some time
but then I have to also make some listing
all right so let's go to selling let's look at
oh I have seven orders that's what I want to see if we got lots of bills

really expensive now I dished out a whole bunch of money on boxes yesterday I need
them yeah I got the stuff so you have to have stuff to sell and then you have to
have boxes put them in to ship because shipping is three-quarters of everything
when it comes to selling packing shipping the boxes you got to have all that we'll get
a lot of packing stuff in now because I ordered some things so all right let's see what we
got for sales oh sold a couple of PS4 games all the uh everspace Stellier edition

smorgas board of stuff going on there

nothing too difficult to
also that it's a quick pull and ship
quick pull and ship
So that's awesome.
All right, so let's put the messages now.
Let's see what we got.
Let's do that.
Do you have the flash drive that came with it?
I didn't receive it in the box.
Oh, you need to know it.
So, I might, this is,
I did not even that.
I did not even remember it came with one.
I found and added the extra accessories for you.
you those were not listed in the description I will check
I will check around
Secondary payment return.
I've got to return.
Rats.
The board.
I am a bit confused.
Here we go.
N64, no video.
All right. It says, I'm searching for instance with a functional cartridge pin slot. All the places online, but yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm curious. You guys thought, yeah. These are, these are the original. There is
the original ones here but are super hard to find
none of the generic
Jim Eric Wants
Mm.
It correctly.
That was a question.
Return.
So I should
really aggravated about returns.
E. Play. See details. Reason just didn't like it. So.
Cancel new order.
So this one, all right, so it says the order was canceled.
You are now blocked.
If you make a purchase.
error never make it come back on the cellar you can leave it come back on the cellar you can leave
you were
refunded
I refuse
to sell
the next
peace
to you
due to the return
I dislike returns with a passion.
All my, all my hard work.
cost to get that out to you same day wasted. We're now blocked. I will not
I will not stand for a buyer not taking responsibility for their mistake.
take the return and any negative feedback you have been schooled.
This always gets me all kinds of trouble, but I don't know.
I'm down with it.
you're gonna order something and I specifically show the two parts and then you return it I don't want to deal with you
so you can go find somebody else I'll take the return or any negative feedback we'll talk about it
you've been schooled
could have easily just took the returns ship the other one but I don't want
some days I'm just like it aggravated by the whole fact and I always say you
should you should man up if you order I well I don't do returns normally something
is really off but if you're going to purchase something and it's not that
You purchase the buyer by mistake, the wrong one, and I have it detailed.
You have to man up and then just either resell it or keep it.
Don't throw it back to me and then order it the correct one.
I'm just not dealing with that anymore.
So we'll get a couple of negative feedbacks, and we'll talk about them,
explain that whole detail right there because I put up with that.
All right, let's see.
off here. So we'll talk about my secondary payment now. Okay, it comes out. It's
pretty exciting. Uh, $35 for a lot of five. Oh yeah, yeah, I'll pay those.
Oh, I accepted something the other day, but I never, I never heard back. What happened
about that? I have to check. So this is a lot of Super Nintendo, uh, Power
supplies it don't work five of them so for a few bucks we'll get bullshit
without and have a few other orders so and I just make sure that's all every
space yeah I got that out we'll we'll list it
But I'm not selling it to him.
I used to do it.
It's been in all kinds of trouble.
But I'm never really in trouble here on eBay.
It's, I don't know, just you guys think about it.
You put all the hard work and everything,
and you're getting something shipped out.
I specifically put all kinds of details on the listing,
so there's no problem.
So you know exactly what you're getting,
and then you order it, and then when you get it,
you realize, oh, I get the wrong one.
So you contact me and I tell you there's no way to swap it out. I can't swap out
You want to me to swap it out. It's not possible because this shipping cost involved and all of my
hard work that went into shipping to you so there's no such thing it's just a swap out
Unless you live down the street and I can go go see you and we can physically hand I can swap out that way. That's really the only really swap out
So if you're going to return it on me I just not deal with it. That means I'm going to have to
take back a pay shipping round trip which I have to pay now because he opened the
return and then you want me to go ahead and send you the correct one now not
doing that if you wanted to pay at all that was different but that's not what
he's doing just not deal with it again gets me an all kinds of trouble
what we got to oh let's talk about my my payments now through eBay it's pretty
cool. Something we used to do all the time with PayPal. When eBay used to be connected to PayPal,
it was the best thing. You obviously have to pay a little bit extra. But then what it does is it comes
out of your sales. So I was able to get all this stuff that I've been getting because I got a little
upfront capital through this loan. And the loan is through Leap. I think it's called Libris.
It's awesome now. And I can actually see the loan and how much I owe and how much you've paid on it.
So then what it does is it takes a big chunk.
29% is what I get leave risk takes out.
My secondary payment comes out.
It comes out as secondary payment, a repayment.
So X amount came out as a repayment,
and then I have a little bit of money to put into my account.
It's only 29%,
plus, of course, for all eBay P's and all other stuff.
But it's pretty awesome.
and so it'll take me so there's no interest crude it's just a straight fee so when i pay this off
in a few months it's saying like five months are probably taking to pay it off i can get another one
i'll be in good all my credit this isn't credit either it's it's going through 10 years of being on
ebay good sales that's how i got this because i don't have enough credit fee i would never be able to get
this kind of upfront capital with credit.
All my credit's getting better, and again,
that I'm also at the tail end of my debt consolidation
through national debt consolidation.
Again, I put myself through at-home gaming schools
we always talk about, and in order to do that,
I had to take out a student loan, and that was my credit, basically.
But we're on the tail end, and actually even national debt consolidation,
is switching over now to a program called Reach,
which is another kind of loan.
So it will pay off the rest of my debts
and my credit will start getting better.
So everything that's kind of falling in the place is pretty awesome.
Before my life, 10.3 comes along,
which could be at any time.
But now, in 9.0 of my life,
I'm trying to get everything straightened out
so I can do this all on my own.
Forgetting that.
It's working out.
But I don't put it for crap.
right anymore so that's my fun morning it's always entertaining as soon as we get to ebay everything
gets fun or not so you guys have a good uh thursday and i will talk to you tomorrow
