Morning, everyone. It is now 533. So I slept in a little bit today. I stayed up later last night. I was watching the second episode of Fallout, which is pretty awesome. So the new season is pretty wild so far. Pretty exciting stuff. If you haven't seen it for a season, definitely watch Fallout. It's on Prime with the first season, and then you can get rid of the second season. I like finding a new thing, new series that's already, the seasons are already done. So I can watch them like one, two, back to back. I haven't watched any of the new, strange things. We'll get to that. I still haven't finished season four yet at the end of that. So the things we did yesterday, we did a lot of things.

First, the Patriots beat up on the jets. Boy, the jets look bad. I feel bad from New York. The jets and the giants are always terrible. The jets have taken, like, 100. steps backwards now that look really bad but the picture it's one so that's cool also we'll check the rest of the football scores in a few minutes here so that's always fun to see I didn't even finish watching this page again I shut it off I

put on some death-draining to building more roads I got to the next I'm trying to get my monorail up up on line so I'm just in savoring this whole death-stranding two game just taking my time building roads I get to go back and build more I'm going to make sure every single world is done. It was pretty awesome. Then yesterday we spent, we did, I decided to put my Xbox 360X 1787, list that. And then we also tore down the rest of my second Amiga 1000.

And oh, we also did the video of unboxing the Amiga 2000. which is really upgraded, pimped up. It's pretty awesome. So everything's just going to be through there. It's got a lot of fun things in it. And then I went out, got something else for it. So I had to get everything sold or listed for the Omega 1000 yesterday, which we did. So two complete, a biggest 1,000 systems and an Omega 500, I tore everything down and listed everything yesterday.

It's quite defeat. But I'm over 1,600 listings now. here on eBay so pretty awesome just keep opening it up not really selling many gaming parts so we're doing lots more vintage computing and we'll continue to do that I'll get some Apple stuff to put up too all right so let's check the news let's see the scores the football scores oh cool Buffalo loss that means the Patriots Buffalo lost 13 to 12 so that means the Patriots clinch the AFC that's pretty awesome I had a feeling so and they're in the

playoffs so that's pretty awesome it's amazing the change this year the team is really special so I wouldn't be surprised to see that go pretty far into the well say what happens let's check to the scores they actually went to the second string San Francisco beats the Bears, yes, last night, yesterday. The Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills, which we needed, and we got only wanted. We beat the Jets and Buffalo lost. I believe we're the ATSC champs now.

Giants won a game. It's Raiders. Man, Raiders are the worst. Two to two in 14. They can't win. And the Bucks lost again to Miami, so they're definitely eliminated. in the playoffs this year. Browns beat the, I like the new quarterback for the Browns.

I think he's going to be good. They beat the Steelers. That made everything change because the Steelers lost. They needed to win. Jaguars beat the Colts. Colts got eliminated because they just fell apart. Of course, Patriots, 42 to 10. That was pretty awesome.

Bengals beat the Cardinals. That's another team that you keep forgetting about. And Tennessee is the other one you forget about. The Saints actually have been. playing a good ball six and ten now they beat up on the Titans and then the Seahawks beat the Carolina oh pretty cool Rams illuminated perhaps you rescue contention so that's pretty cool all right so let's see what's going on in my little world here for the morning now that we did out Monday morning football I don't

don't stay up for any late games or anything we go to bed at four what I sit up and watch the the next episode last night though so I went to bed like 530 okay let's see if we got in order here today's Monday we're on I forgot to say December of the 29th, 2025. We're in the middle of another holiday week. But New Year's coming. Ah, so one order is Nintendo GameCube screws. Screw sets. I sold thousands of those

over the years. Screw sets and things like that always give back way after you sell everything else. Everybody needs a screw set. So that's the disc assembly 16 screws with the metal. So cool. One order. Let's be able to Let's see. Let's see. Let's make sure of it.

All right. He's out here. I'll come back to that in a second. Let's go to Parcham. I'm trying to keep in the same routine. I'm a very routine, guys. I'm sure you can realize that by now. It makes life easier for me anyway.

I stay on a good routine. That's 1,289 hours on Parchmark. Let's see. Snow today was, brutally cold yesterday after the snowstorm yesterday was really cold today it's going to be 50 so all the snow is starting to melt the temperature is rising here in rhode island westly rhode island so that whatever snow we had will be gone and i think it was supposed to rain last night too it's probably all gone now or close to it so we're number the second storm so far this year we're chronicling all the storms with some videos as we get them I'm expecting some sort of a blizzard this year I wouldn't be surprised we don't get one I don't want one but we'll probably know no down on yesterday either so we saw it 264 the last 30 days 1,585 it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go although

did show you something new says Israel Tel Aviv you Pakistan is still there cash kent but United Kingdom York Miami And in the United States, it says, Elgin. So those are new. So I'd say I didn't have a download, but you have a serial sum. So maybe it's just behind it. So 40 downloads, 42 in the last seven days. It's pretty awesome.

My message in a bottle over the Internet ocean, wherever it may go. It's always interesting to see where it ends up. See my red dots all over the world. It's wild. Places I will never be able to go to or would go, but at least I can. send myself out there a little bit portal for all parts of the world so it's pretty cool all right so let's get some business i did promote a little bit yesterday we did two videos yesterday and that was then i just concentrated on i was watching the game not really watching the game

but i was keeping an eye on it while putting up a lot more stuff So my views, first of all, my subscribers are 100,000, 3,339. So 339 is going down from the peak, which was like 600. But what's going up is my view hours, 1.6 million. It's saying watch hours are at 12.8K. But my revenue is down to $31.85. What a bummer. make.com

my video that made 43.0K and then I promoted a couple little ones yesterday but that's about it right now. We have a couple of views. 26 views if I don't promote

when I did my Xbox 1X that was a short little video so let's do that one a little and then today we'll see what we're going to do I may go to Apple again I think I'm going to go to Apple

So everything here on YouTube is about the same. Let's check eBay. Putting lots of time, effort, and woken that puppy up for me. Ooh, there's lots of action going on here. So what I did also, yes, is keep up on all my orders. All my orders are already packed and ready to go. Let's check feedback. I'm expecting some fast as-described good product had to return.

had to return because the mother boy wasn't my problem apparently easy return yeah I wasn't happy about that I got a five-star feedback I'm not taking returns anymore doesn't fix your problem you just come to resell it but that one still I still have some things grandfathered into return I haven't changed everything but we are going to replace parts exactly as described shipping quickly impact well uh left and right controller thank you very much amiga forever regards for jammy oh that's cool i bought two things from uh

from uh ukraine god bless them out there uh and they're the uh conversions because my amiga 2000 i don't have a keyboard so i had to get a converter and there was a keyboard sale it was really expensive So let me see what's going on here. It takes me a minute to get my bearings on. First, what I've sold. Let's get a look at that first. So we have some good sales.

That's my first good thing. All right, so we sold one motherboard for the Amiga 500. I mean, Amiga 1000. Cool. I just need one big hit. I got it. We sold the Sony, the S3G motherboard.

and I sold a little pink silicone for the cover for the I got to try to find those for tender wee board I have no idea what those are so all of my hardware yesterday paid off because I sold one thing that I needed to sell

all right now it gets return approved what is this oh that's the guy with the return board Ah, you knucklehead. No, so I was going to say, I didn't, I don't think I remember having a return board. Now I know why, because, I don't know.

Xbox 15, so he gave me a positive feedback and returned it. All right, so we'll do, you have an offer on that, so let's just take, get rid of that. It's a gothic pocketbook thing. It's got Harley Quinn Catwoman. I'll just take that. I'll just get rid of that. I just got to take some offers because I spent a good amount. Let's look at all these sales.

I'm presuming you sold this item. Yes Yes So the keyboard sold right away Let's see Amiga 500 Meag 1,000 Have a keyboard I'm not going to take that

I'm going to wait on the keyboard Only because I saw an Amiga 2,000 keyboard for $300. I'm not going to do that. Oh, I would get something else. Oh, a set of screws. I did sets of screws all the way down to set of screws yesterday if they made $1,000 because the buyer from Italy wanted them. The last thing, one of the last thing I did yesterday was get my set of screws up.

And somehow they know as soon as I list something because he was asking about it. As soon as that 30 I'm going to wait a little bit I think it's like what's worth a little bit more July I would just take that hmm these are all guys that are

international so they're they're chopping me way down so they can cover their international fees and I just I'm not not having that I'm not compensating, I will take that expansion board. I'm not compensating for their extra fees for international. Because I've, over the years, have spent, I'm not going to take that either.

I've spent on international shipping and get, so in the last eight, nine years, I decided to go around the world, through eBay, I mean, not actually driving around the world or flying. and get one of every gaming system ever made, which I kind of did pretty much. And at the same time, and then later I decided to do that for a lot of the vintage computing, like my Amstrads and my Sinclair Spectrums, and now these Amiga's.

So in order to do that, I had to pay crazy international shipping extra costs, and nobody ever gave me any discounts towards it. All right, so $99, exact revenue. So that was the heck, you know, the other guy. That's sold, so. Definitely wasn't selling that. And cheap, that was the motherboard. Somebody wanted $99.

Again, this is, people understand this is a once-in-a-lifetime deal that I got two Amiga 1000s and I broke them all down. That's it. Get parts by the last? Yes, the parts are a lot higher because, because the units were higher so a first i want to make my money back and then so breaking all the parts down it's over time that maybe i'll make my money back but it's some some specific things will sell quicker than others so that's why it's over time so i'm just mostly i'm declining i already sold

something today so I'm pretty happy and I already got all my other orders done so I can go right on to write to the post office this morning Super Nintendo what's this I'm just gonna decline all these for now I'll overload myself that's the reason why I decline things so why take something a lot lower and then I have to put my time and effort in getting it and packing it and shipping it when I can just decline it and concentrate on the things that i did sell when would i make a few hundred bucks a day i'm all right it's not always like that but right now because i have a lot of

the bigger items and i know that i can get better better offers than what i've got keyboards so i get the keyboard listed for the amiga 500 amygd one thousand the odds of finding another keyboard like that is very rare I was adding a keyboard for the immediate $3,000, $2,000, but it's really expensive. But would you get something else, though? Yeah, again, once in a lifetime deal. And again, I try to keep my price is not super high. It's not like I have everything for $300.

I don't. Some things, the big things, motherboards, even those aren't that much. But all the boards and stuff like that. So, all right. And plus that was a lot of work I did yesterday, boy, to get all that stuff. I have now had 1,606 listings. I'm going for 2,000 in the next year. I'm just going to keep blasting out new stuff.

I can easily put 2,000 items up. And then not being, not as many gaming parts, either more going towards a vintage computing. Because those actually sell a lot faster right now. then all my other one two returns I hope you got me with a turn we'd love to comment but I can't I guess once in a while I just have to take a return I'm still fighting the other two returns I'll wait until eBay makes me make me pay those those two cartridge slots that the guy bought one didn't fix his issue so I bought

another one of mine and never told me the first problem I had it with the first one and then got the second one that obviously didn't still didn't fix this issue because he had a motherboard issue and then he opened the return and I wasn't having any of that because he opened it with a false claim that it's not as described he was able to get that in and I have to either prove it or wait till the eBay comes in and steps in and of course they always step in and they're going to make i even have links of videos i added to the message when you can do a message through a return uh kind of like fighting it and of course ebay won't just probably does auto they'll just see he said didn't as described then i'll have to take the return back but i'm going to go fighting and screaming on that one because he said i would my my cartridge slugs blew his uh power supply all this nonsense it's not true at all just false stuff so you can open a return as not as described when in fact it was his motherboard that's the problem and they did not only once to me but twice and then never even contact me

through any of that process so that's why I'm fighting and screaming on that one if you would have got the first one and you would have contacted me say hey this didn't fix my problem I would have said you got a bad motherboard just return that one and what would have been done I would never purchased because the first part doesn't fix it the second part is not gonna and I try it before you buy it those days are gone I can try to I got it once for this guy with the motherboard now tried his motherboards and fixed it so now it's returning I got to fix that but I think it's under they have to pay to return it so I think that's what that one was up there tough selling stuff that really is all right everyone so that's my fun little

morning it's almost 6 o'clock you stayed on for a little while here lots of things going on once i start adding new stuff especially right now with the amegas or that amiga 1,000 stuff people go crazy my it lights up my ebay big time as you can see i didn't have any any gaming part sold or none it's all about what i just listed oh i sold that pocketbook too which is pretty cool oh no i had two gaming things two gaming things of my amiga motherboard and all right everyone so you guys have a good day today

is monday we're only have a short work week new year's coming and then we can all talk about 2026 new year's day and then we have to get through the next two months of brutal winter with no holidays nothing to talk about it's pretty dark all right everyone
