Morning, everyone. It is early. It's 417. Today is December the 31st. We are on New Year's Eve. And it's the last day of 2025. Pretty awesome. So that means tonight, the ball drops. And then we go to 2026. And the first thing that I think of when I think of 2026 is the fact that Nintendo Wii turns 20 years old. So that's really good for me. I can add some of the Wii stuff to my Etsy store. Everything over there you have to sell at the 2026. years older. So that's a big accomplishment. So that's pretty awesome. It's the last thing that I can do was Xbox, the original Xbox, 01 through 05. I think it's the last thing I really added to Etsy since then. So 2006, a big, for 2026. It'd be awesome. All right, so we had a lot of things we did yesterday. I pulled out all the guns for my Tandy 1000s. I have what I said. eight or nine computers that I've gotten over the years because of course I wanted to learn about them but as I always say I'm not collector I'm an inspector so I just wanted to learn about them a little bit and the other day they all do the same thing so we got a quite a

little collection here so I made a little video showing them on my desktop took me a while to put them all together and they were really heavy my back was killing the end of the day someone I had to dig out. So what we're going to do is one by one. We're going to retest them, pull over parts and sell them for all the systems. So, because I got other fun stuff coming in. So these ones were ready to move on.

So take quite some time to do all that. But we'll do one on the way. I started to list some of the top covers and the back port covers too. Easy stuff to quickly list. Getting into the actual components and stuff with motherboards, things like that. a lot longer this drives I can do it quick I would just do them as untested power supplies I should think all these powered on some of them are really fun so what I

have quick rundown is a couple Tandy 1000s original desktop and then there's a Tandy 1000 SX I have two I think three of those Tandy 1,000 SL it's a Tandy 1,000 TX I also have a Tandy 1200 HD and the Tandy 1000 RL plus a Radio Shack 2000 which is pretty cool the desktop it's not really related to the Radio Shop family but it's some reason it was named that I don't know why so let's see what's going on today so we did a video that I think I did a quick video of my camcorder I bought some parts and I got the wrong one but it was really cheap so it wasn't that big deal

we'll get some extra stuff down there really let's see let's look at the news here one year's the last thing you want to be out today's is is out for New Year's Eve and of course I don't know we celebrate it because it would be I don't stay up late And obviously it's a drinking thing And all that

So I'm not really gonna Do anything Anything I'm very I'm doing I'll be the 2026

It would be interesting For me was pretty good I'm very productive uh had colvin and my mother had colvin so that's a that was a big thing for 2025 it was brutal we both survived the things they are changing uh took a tool on me and my mother colvin did but i've recovered pretty good but uh my mother did recover but she's still having struggling it's tough when you're watching someone uh around you kind of started to fade away a little bit a lot of it actually so really difficult a lot of people out there goes through that

all right so let's see what we have for we only had one order yesterday on Etsy got that out of course all my orders out yesterday I had a big order big bulky thing that I was for a IBM 51 55 the whole whole out of cover and it has like a suitcase it's like in a suitcase it's huge so it's supposed to be a portable but it's really big and it has a handle on it so I sold that yesterday but I was really a giant box I just put that in all right so let's look on to pushmark nothing nothing been flat line for quite some time

like Parchmark has, but we always keep in that. I feel like it's helping me out in some way. 1,288 followers. I may actually throw some weird stuff on this too. Oh, no, this one doesn't matter. I think you already have.

And we just said that once in. Okay, moving on. RSS feed. I had a nine download just today on this podcast. That was pretty awesome. Sometimes a couple days like I had zero, just normal. Sometimes I get a few, sometimes I don't.

I always like to check it every day. It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. Boy, I had six downloads yesterday. 286, I'm still positive, 208% since normal. And I have 1,600 downloads all time. And it's not, I don't think I've been quite a year since doing this. It was something I added extra because YouTube had the auction to put a podcast. And so I said, well, let's make a podcast and then see how it goes.

I enjoy it. Helps you wake up in the morning. United States, Elgin, four downloads with Elgin. Great job. Awesome. Thank you. United States, Berlin, three downloads. Israel, one.

Tel Aviv. UK, York. One. And United States, my name. I'm getting more rent out. It's on a flat map that I can see. And, of course, we keep an eye on the monetize. It's always fun and interesting.

So you guys know when you get little commercials or whatever, I've made 16 cents all time. No, actually, my lifetime was 15 cents. But for some reason, I was at $0.45. And then when the transfer from that went over to lifetime withdrawals, I lost like 30 some cents. I don't know who took by 30 cents, man. I want it back.

I don't know where it went to, but I want it back. So, as I always say, now, we don't make pennies in the United States anymore, but I do. I make pennies. All right. So that's where we're at there. Let's jump break to probably a quick early morning. Podcast unless anything happens, well, everything really happens as soon as I get to eBay. But we've put a bunch of stuff up yesterday, so we'll see you check that.

Let's look. Oh, Prime Video. So the second, there is no equal to the prime video, Fallout. If you've never seen Fallout, you've got to watch it. First season, second season just as crazy. It's pretty awesome. The whole story, everything's just really wild. Lots of, lots of things blown out, lots of heads.

First, first new episode for season two, lots of heads are blown up. Too wild. All right, so candy, land three minutes I had 223 at 103,306 hours my 306 is going down I was at 600 so but we're still steadily over 100,000 we're no longer promoting for subscribers we're all in trying to get some views at my YouTube channel my eBay still because so I have 1.4 million news watch hours are 13.4k for my revenue is $32.27.

I have to be the one with a world record of the least amount of money for the amount of views. My last accomplishment was $4,500 views. It seems like a lot. $32. I'm closing in on

probably another one. All right, so let's see where else is there. No comments. I did promote my video yesterday, because I thought it was pretty cool. I want to actually add to it, which was my welcome to my Tandiland. 1,000, 10,000, gym. Cornucopia. technology

on now I'm now now it says welcome to my Tandyland 1,000 gem gems

gems gems of vintage desktop computer cornucopia Let's say up to us. This is Cornucopia Technology Fund. Welcome to my Tandyland 1000 gems

of Vintage Desktop Computer Cornucopia Old Technology Fund. Yeah. We wanted that, I wanted to expand the title. We'll use that. I posted that, and of course it's the only ones I post, I mean I promote, they go for the website, which is back to my eBay. So let's get to eBay. Let's see what we've got going on. I started a new sale.

It's 26% off. Okay, 26% off. This is going to be 2026. It's a coupon. I switch it up. I'll do a sale for my big ones or I'll do a coupon. Oh, so we had six orders. That's pretty awesome.

For something really good. All right. So let me look at the feedback. Item, great item. As described, great condition, fast postage. You know, it's got to be international. A.A. All the metal.

Great seller, responsive. Responsive is shipped out fast. Everything worked. Oh, keyboard, wow, you got that quick. Oh, that's right, that was right here in Rhode Island. So we ordered my, I want to get 500 keyboard bringing Rhode Island. So it was just one day shipping. And I say, well, I just was, I just shipped that.

Big thing, I had to get some more big boxes because a lot of things that I'm going to sell now, you know they're just pieces of offer of a computer are big and bulky. so and I need more packing stuff but I have a few things coming in that will have packing stuff in it of course we'll reuse every single thing that we get and I've already reused all the stuff that I've taken out of for a couple of we did order a few things we'll wait to see when they come in the main thing I have two things for my mega 2000 I decided to complete that I was missing the keyboard so I found one got in Canada really pricey don't want to say and then the second thing i decided to do with my amiga 2000 is it's just going to be my computer and it's going to be also my dos computer so i got an a 2088 xc bridgeboard

which means it gives you the it makes your amiga into a um dOS system that was super crazy but we'll complete that and then of course it doesn't matter because then that'll be complete and then if i ever want to resell that i can really resell that for a lot that in those two pieces that i just said uh significantly increase the value of that one and it's already stocked up we'll be done with that one we'll keep down for a while but if i have a pinch i would uh could sell it all together because one big one thing it's hit the other keyboard people it's come from canada it's not a ship jet pretty good shape it says i'm tested so i've still waiting for so what I'm working on is completing my first replica AI head so

you'll see it on my desktop I it's there right now it's just my first prototype I think in the future not even that far away everyone will be able to make their own AI companion or AI side sidekick or what we want to call wallet but we're just going to start with the head and i found the head at the michael's store and i decided to make a little on some hair and eyes and everything for it so that's going to be you'll see it on my desktop all the time he doesn't say anything doesn't do anything just that's my first replica my ai got some things coming i'm waiting for it's going to give it some eyes oh it's in a jersey now and in a mouth oh god and slowly i will build it

so that at some point probably won't be for a few years or so I'll actually have a talking AI and then many years after that maybe we'll actually have a whole body but the head is just so that I can use it as a sidekick right now I can use my phone with AI and talk back and forth so basically it would just be that but it'll be they'll have a little bit of movement on the head itself so kind of look like it's talking through that but it's not really that

just something fun so working on it so it's my first prototype so you'll see my buddy's hanging on one of my mechanical arms my desktop we didn't do anything all right so let's get to business we had six orders that's a decent orders we're gonna list a lot of stuff going forward oh cool so we got we have a few good things I sold 2,600 light sixers. Oh yeah, okay. So that's the two light sixer motherboards only. Really, they both work.

We sold the RAN, Omega 500 works and battery. Expansion port, original RAM expansion. We sold another Xbox 01 through 05 CPU heat sink set. sell it all the time and then we have a hdmi panel of the xbox v60 and somebody else ordered the cereal for the xbox v60 white panels they sell it's all the time they're just like everything else it's really bulky so i don't want to make i only make a few bucks off of those and then we sold a CPU fan no, GPU fan for the original

2001 1.0 Xbox fan makes a lot of noise better off just to get a regular heat sink and sticking in air and it gets rid of that problem. All right, so let's go

to so that's orders. Messages. Messages is always where it gets really fun Radio Shack Oh, that's the one I did, I just, I just, I did something I picked up a couple of other things that were I've sold you.

Good afternoon. I'm looking for the eject button officially called the door knob. I'm wondering if you have one lying around. Let's get it lying around. It's a price. Is this for the

for the top cover? The one on the top. The one on top cover. For the disc door. I'm open at 4 o'clock in the morning because my shop's open as soon as I wake up. And once in a while, I'll reply to all these messages now, and all of a sudden I'll get a reply back at 4 o'clock in the morning. I know I'm up.

But why isn't for somebody else at the 4 o'clock in the room? It says the one on the top cover of the this door. I have to look at that. It's actually Sega that this is for Sega CD, MK-112 only. I just wanted to let you know I've owned a 5190 also I want to let you know the mega five key word gray

yeah also nice to see it fell off of that I'm awesome awesome awesome I saw you were

in R-I I just upgraded to a pimped out Amiga 2000

so I am selling all parts of that five hundred and two one thousand yes that keyboard worked on as I have many videos on my YouTube channel testing and upgrading at Just upgrade to a piqued out Amiga 2000 I am selling all the parts of that 5002,000.

Yes, that keyboard worked fine. I have many videos. So let's give my link. Of course, I'm at the time I can need to get somebody to link. Maybe one more subscriber, that's actually a real subscriber. We'll have many of those. locking my suit up so we'll get me a bit of that suit that point out

all right so someone local here and we're down just unusual but every once in a while I get somebody not normally someone that replies back but and eBay's letting me do my link to YouTube. I wish I could protect everything. You have $40 offer. You go $1,000. I'm not going to get that I'll hold up on this. And then there's all these international guys now. So that's the problem

of those Amiga stuff that I'm listening is most of them want it from the international and they want to compensate for their extra international shipping costs. So therefore they're giving me is really low office and I'm just not taking up I'm not going to compensate heat apart war can't do it I've bought over the years and I've been going I put myself to at home gaming school and vintage computer school and to do that also I wanted to learn about every system around the world so I did so much shopping on eBay around the world the extra amount of shipping costs that I paid over the years it's in the tens of thousands probably that's why I'm on debt consolidation because of course

you want to put yourself to school you have to take it alone so that's what we did and that was my credit but I'm almost done now three four years later I'm almost got my debt consolidation done so pretty excited I've got a good future going on it's just going to be different therefore my life 9.0 is still where it is but 10.3 is just around the corner. Hopefully not for a long time. I don't want it to change, but it's going to.

I think we're doing it. Get through the winter, it will be wonderful. Every day is a precious day now. I just never know. All right, everyone. So I get lots of things going on. It makes my look at my brain candle all kinds of inputs and outputs all at once here.

I still have a good brain. I'll know when it starts to really slow down. As of now, it'll be 58 come... People leave this, my birthday. 508. Boy, 58's been a long. Oh, that's been a long, 58 years, man. Whoa.

Pretty crazy stuff, too. But, wow. My mother's turning in it. My mother's going to be 85. I'm like, jeez, man, 85 years for now. I don't know. Hopefully that would be 100. I'd love to see the technology by then.

It'd be pretty awesome. So I'm all about tech. So as long as tech keeps getting better, I'm into it. And almost my brain will keep pandan on it all. I'll keep, I'm like a sponge. I'm saying it's now at 58. I'm just such a big sponge for all tech, old and new. Especially old.

That's what are really fun stuff. New is just going to happen as it does. The old stuff, you can go back and dig through the old, archives and all that fun stuff all these tannies I have right on my desktop right there that's some serious old tech some serious history right there on my desktop and of course really crazy stuff all right everyone so we'll leave that on that note of old technology we're gonna continue on that of course we'll do it I'm gonna pull out some Sega CDs I found some more so we're gonna pull some more

some more parts for those and i gotta keep mine i'm gonna really bulk up my vintage computer parts but we're also got to get some more gaming stuff like as well all right so you guys have a wonderful and be safe for the new year if you're going to drink please get somebody to drive you home man plus this uber there's all those things now nobody should drive i i can say that i was the worst person ever for drinking and driving i am totally a minute Oh, I look back now, but I've been cleaning sober since 2011. So when you finally get clean and sober, then you have all these years, what's it we're in? So 2011, we've been cleaning sober since then, now we're at 2026.

And then once your brain is clear and open, you can just see everything you did before. You're like, oh, my God. So that's all I'm a lot of regret, of course. But also a lot of hope now that we've got a good thing going. all right yeah so be safe new year's eve don't go out you can help it if you drink get somebody to drive you home uber or anything anyway to do it and then we'll see you on 2026 all right
