Morning, everyone. It's again, super early. 4.34 a.m. Today is December the 21st, 2025, and we're on Sunday. Love my Sundays. Oh, I love our old days, but Sunday. Yes, we've been getting up early because I've been going to back early. Yesterday, I did a quite defeat of mass listings on eBay, and I also decided to do a huge, huge sale at like 40% off. So it's running right now, let's say how long I'm going to run it. So I did that yesterday and I also listed some really big things. I have a 3D printers that I'm never used, just not going to use it. So we're going to sell it all. So listed a bunch.

So from the yesterday morning I was up early like around four or something. And I pretty much, I had a few orders. And then I started my sale early. I just started getting some purchases from that sale to a little bit later in the day. Then I just kept blasting out all kinds of stuff all day. I'm up to almost 1,600 listings now on eBay. So I've almost doubled what I had about six months ago, but it takes a long time. We're going to continue to do that.

And every once in a while, I'll throw a really big sale. But to all those greedy buyers out there, no. I'm not going to give you a best offer on top of taking 40% off of my sales. I had a couple of issues with that yesterday. I'm sure there'd be a lot more today. And I also had an issue with a buyer that an item that was 40% off, he still wanted another like 40% off from there. And he kept best offering and I kept declining it.

So the last best offer he had, was it had an F bomb in it? what the F is going on, why don't you take my offer? And I was like, all right, so I'm done with this person. So you were immediately blocked. So don't be F-bombing me. So no, I don't need to take out. It's because I have best offers. It doesn't mean I have to use them.

I'm giving you 40% off right now, and that should be plenty. And that's actually more, actually 45, because then I throw another 5% on top of that. So 45% off, and I still got lots of best offers yesterday. And we're going to see a lot of them today. I bet. It's not going to happen. I don't know any of the store. You go into the store and they're on sale and then you go to the cashier and you say, okay, now I'll take another $20 off of this. Is there a place that does that? Not me. Just because I have best offers, it doesn't have to use it. Okay. If I didn't have any sales, sure, I would take a little bit off. But that is that that is the best offer, which is the 45% off. So yeah, when you. when i do things like this is interesting to see what human nature brings out it's always interesting all right so we hit football yesterday football was football uh saturday there was two saturday games it's weird no it's big oh the eagles beat the commanders

which you never know that good and the bears are playing some good ball they beat um the packers then the stranger things is going to be in the movie theaters that's kind of weird i still haven't finished the season four yet before i got the season probably i did however watched the first episode of fall of fall out which is really awesome there was heads blown up everywhere on the first in the first episode it's pretty wild to be exactly what I expected even a little bit better so first season jumped right back to where it was kind of and it just rolls on it was pretty awesome big fan and of course I finished it welcome to Dary on HBO Max highly recommend that that was

really good series the season finale was epic really cool this is the season finale event avatars doing pretty good I still haven't watched the second one Way of the water. I'm going to find when the next episode of Fall Out comes out. There should be a Fallout 5 game coming out at some point next year. 2026 is going to be a big gaming year. Lots of it. And then we'll probably get a new gaming system by 2027,

which really is only about a year or so away. So it's pretty awesome. So what the PS6 is, and I believe the next one is going to be an Xbox. prime no more than I'm making any more of the the other ones that are out now this this this this this generation didn't last so long I don't think paid to the PS4 and the Xbox one all right so we're looking around the news a little bit see if we see anything that's catching my eye and then we'll get to business and we'll see what happens with my 40% off should we'll see if we'll see if we

got lots of crazy sales or not. Oh, we have an order in Netsi though. You have an order NETC yesterday. I don't do sales here. Well, I have done sales in NETC. I can't say I don't. Oh, some power reset buttons for the NES. I got lots of those. So, we'll go higher the budget working ones. Most of them all work. So there's a flashing red light on the NES. And hopefully people understand that it's not the power switch doing that flashing red light is the motherboard it's not reading the

game so it's just their flashes so I haven't I never had one anybody try to return one but it does not fix flashing red light that's your cartridge slot or the the actual motherboard itself so one order there pretty well let's move on here yeah so I went to bed again early as always 415 or something like that so I get my 12 hours sleep we're only a few days away from Christmas, which is pretty awesome. And we are, we just haven't that well. Well, I'm just happy that my mother's feeling better.

She sleeps a lot more now than she was, but it's winter. We're all in our little hibernation mode. But she gets up every day in the morning, late in the day, and then takes a little nap, and then gets up, stays up for a little bit. And then after I go to bed, she stays up for a little while longer with the dogs, and then they all go back to bed. My dogs love to sleep, so they're perfect for her. So she always has someone with her.

The dogs are always with her, so it's pretty awesome. All right, so let me go to the next thing. So, watch more. I've got to do something with this. And, of course, New Year's is coming up really fast, too. So next week, next weekend? Of course, I don't do anything for New Year's. And clean and sober since 2011.

So we, it's the worst day you want to be out as in the New Year's, no, goodness. So nothing we would do there. But 2026 should be some good tech year. We're gonna see some major changes. Hopefully AI will change some more significantly. I want, I, I'm waiting for AI to be able to see so that I can use it as interactive more.

trying to prep my desktop for that, or its ability to be able to see at some point. Then we can really bring in my buddy Zippy as a co-host. And we can talk about stuff that I can see. Right now, it just kind of repeats the same things over and over again. When you ask you a question, it gets kind of annoying after a while, so I don't do it that often.

It'll ask a question, and it always says, at the end, at the end of it, at the end of it, it always says, oh, well, let me know how I can help. Like, every single time. It gets really annoying. well so you only use AI every once in a all right so let me go to oh all this we had some download yesterday yes why when I do a major sale it definitely changes everything and I've all like I said at the same time I've really poked up my store

so I've never really had like a mass day of sales When Colvin came out, I was really busy night. Really crazy stuff. Not anymore. Oh, no downloads yesterday. I still have 257 in the last 30 days, so it's great to say. 150, 1,542 in the last all time. Still shows a couple of people that downloaded a couple days ago.

Tiffany in the United States, Del High in India, in India, in Chicago. it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go it's always cool fun to see what happens oh so am i monetized we'll check on that see what we got going plus this also goes to my youtube uh is why i originally did podcast in the morning it helps me wake up i can tell us in the event oh so now we have 40 it's 46 cents for my balance on RSS.com and I have 10 cents now available balance. It's pretty cool. It's exciting to see I actually

got monetized on podcast and made a few cents. It's pretty awesome. All right so let's get to some business here. I did promote two, but we're only promoting now not for subscribers because that's just a waste of time. It looks good on paper, but it does nothing for me and it's dropping too. So we're at 100,000, 3,485. So 485 is the key. I think I was at 600, $600,300,000, 600 and something.

So we've gone down to 485. I promoted two things. One was my Amiga 500? Oh, and there's something real exciting. Hold on a second. So my Amiga 500 video, I promoted that. We're only promoting where it's supposed to go back to my YouTube, to my eBay page, and it also gets me lots of views. So it was 21,000, 21.1K for the immediate 500.

My first COVID-1-1 is doing really good, 22.9K. Life in a double shave was 14.9K. I decided to promote that one too. So just those two. One was $20, I think one was $20,000, one was $40. I decided to run a long live stream with my guinea pig yesterday called a guinea guinea vision and I had my bird in there too so we had 307 views I ran that for a few hours yesterday so sometimes I'll run something really long on a live stream like that

using my guinea pig I used to have two now I just had a one spot so we ran him for a couple hours and the bird I can get the cage right on the top of the guinea pig cage so it came up pretty cool and the bird usually makes noise all the time always talking it's pretty awesome okay my estimated revenue is 41 and 67 cents but we've talked about it it's we have made over $100 this month 120 something but we'll get paid but it doesn't it only takes a little bit off of the few thousand I've spent on promotions oh so big thing today so we're talking about the amiga 500 video i did two days ago it was anticipation of the amiga 1000 desktop and that has arrived arrived at fedex yesterday sitting here

at my desktop got it towards the end of the day i was definitely not doing any sort of an opening video at the end of the day yesterday but today we will so we'll make it a big video That's it. Have any new subscribers? Nope, nothing new. So I'm just losing subscribers. No longer going to do promotions for subscribers. We're only going to do the promotions that will give me more views.

Either way I do it, it doesn't really seem to affect my income anyway. But I keep mixing up. All right, so let's the drum roll, please. Let's see what happened over. overnight on eBay. Nothing too major. See, I still getting lots of offers. I just don't get it.

But I sold a couple big things. So where? We're right. Let's look at feedback. Super fast shipping expertly packed arrived safely as described. Oh, that's a cartridge slot.

Plugged in and worked beautiful. That's a cartridge slot and that's for the N64. I sell all of those, each one individually. Um, by the exact number, some of them will kind of worn. I have a few left up. I sold a few. So my Amiga 1000 came in. I had a second Amiga 1000.

These were really pricey. That's why I had to go out and sell a lot of stuff. because these are really price but we're going to resell one of them down the road the second one this one here has a keyboard in the mouse with it the second one has a expansion pack untested assuming that one doesn't work but we'll find out okay all right let's look at what we have for any sales or just away five sales cool okay well again we've really ratcheted up what we're selling so we've got a few little bit of sales here we sold the disk drive for the nintendo we

mini uh game cube all the all the screws and the power button 10 power buttons for the Nintendo GameCube and we sold oh we sold Hey You Pikachu and in the which we'll call it it that goes with it and then we sold some screws for Sega Genesis the inner screws and the the spacer for the 1631 yes so yeah then I have the power button for the Nintendo GameCube I sell them at 10 per lot you know all this stuff's at 40 percent long, almost 45 percent long. But still made a little bit of sales. That's pretty awesome.

So I have messages. Oh, hi, double D game goes. I got the double D down. Xbox. Oh, no one. So somebody asks me a question. N64. Double D.

Alright. That one I've gotten, that's pretty low. It's lower than I actually paid for it now. We're just kind of moving some stuff along a little bit. The message was, hey, does the six foot... Yes. Yes. This is the exact one fully tested by me.

eBay has been letting me do my links to YouTube. It was giving me a really hard time. So I'm not doing it. So it just discounts. So no discounts. But I'm really sell too much stuff for having a lot of sales. but it's up there keep it going I could sell that double D so I had it was really expensive that was most one of the most pricey things that I've purchased

from Japan and then I had to pay an extra $74 for duty fee I've never had to pay a duty fee before because those tariff things so I got it the video I did a video on all of it and then right after I listed it and I had it for a long but I haven't been up left. Nobody really wants to pay that much kind of money. I'm definitely not going to go in lower. And I'm not sure how long we're going to keep this 40% sale. I pretty much made the money that I need to make so I really don't need to keep it this way. You may change it, knocking it back down to 20. But we'll see. A little right for a little longer. I have the sale technically going to New Year's Day.

So we just want to sell a lot of stuff. Because again, I got those two major purchases. that came in and they're really pricey but it'll be fun to look at i'll again i'll take one of them and resell it or i'll break it down and sell the parts somebody want other parts for it we'll see that's pretty cool all right so everyone you guys have a good day enjoy the sunday sunday's always nice and peaceful and i will talk to you tomorrow all right bye
