Morning, everyone. It is super early this morning. 3.39 a.m. But I get a really good sleep, though. Again, I went to bed at like four. I almost get my 12 hours in. So to me, it's just like my days just starting after a 12-hour sleep. I used to get 14 hours sleep. But lately, I've just been wanting to get up early. And of course, I got another goodie box that came in yesterday. So that also motivated me to get up early. So yesterday, we spent the whole day, it was an Amiga day. Miga 1,000, Miga 500, a long video tore down one omega 1,000 completely, got most of the parts listed except for the motherboard. And then because I pulled off of that, so then we learned yesterday that that first Amiga 1000 with the spirit technology, board is actually some sort of a CPU mod that's why when I booted that up the screen came up really fast

the floppy drive icon screen came up really fast so luckily I have a Mega 500 which I also tore down this today and I started selling parts off of that that I completely selling everything off of that I got most of it listed I got a little bit more ago and I had upgraded that one to kickstart 2.04 and also the the CPU chip was

upgraded just a little here like 10 compared to not 10 it says it on the chip so we listed all that but what I did is because I upgraded to CPU I had gotten two so now my Amiga 1000 that I remember moved spirit technology needed a CPU but I have them so I put one on so what we're going to do is second mega 1000 I tore it down enough so that I can still test it the way it is so we'll test that board again just drive it and it's just drive but I have one should be able to use test it all and then we'll go from there and then of course then I'll sell the first motherboard either with them I got I got a I got a

test that as a chip so we'll do we'll test the first motherboard that's on the second 1000 make sure it all works hold that one because that's all stock and then put the one the first one where i added the CPU back on it and make sure it works that's what that's the plan now so we're gonna do motherboards and the the uh is really easy to take off i don't need a front panel that just says LED lights on it so there's no on-off switch in the front so i already got that LED uh the front panel listed all right already sold the other one so and then the of course the great thing is the reason why I'm tearing all these down and selling them because because I have an immediate 2,000 they came really

pricey but this is a guy who knows what he's doing and has it all souped up a little bit has got tech on it and all kinds of and a floppy drive so I can use both so I don't need any of that three that I already have so therefore we're selling all that try to make my money back because as we say now is my new saying I'm not a collector I'm an inspector meaning I can afford to be a collector so I can inspect things learn about them and then either tear them down and sell the parts or sell a hole but mostly I usually sell apart so that's my new thing now which I've been doing it anyway but just I like to collect things but I just can't keep them can't afford it especially these things are really pricey we got to put the debt going

right now but not too bad all right so let's see what's going on in my little world oh we had snow yesterday too so we had a good good amount i want to say 68 inches we got definitely 68 inches it was nice and light and fluffy so i was able to shovel yesterday morning today's also sunday which is my favorite day i can kind of kick back a little bit i'm going to work on more mega usually i break up and do different things this day but i'm going to continue on my mega run don't want to get more stuff listed we're also continuing to bulk up my

eBay and close to 1,600 listings my goal was 2000 the next year so we're going to keep pushing and putting up new stuff I did a camcorder video the night before

it's an old camcorder that put it all together I did sell one of them already and we bought one that's pretty cool stuff like that all different stuff not just game they're a ton of other things too that even that i'm not even game related that is fun old electronics like camp quarters so we're going to keep doing all right so let's see what's going on my little world let's check the news see what's going on and it's early all scores

ravens beat up on the packers interesting and the texans beat the chargers texas plays a good ball Ravens, Patriots beat the Ravens. Now those are they going to make the playoffs, now the Packers, no, the Packers came at all. So, all Ravens. So, we're not, oh, whatever. Patriots beat them. And then they came back and blew out the Packers, which is pretty surprising.

The Broncos won first AFC West title in decades, ending Chief's reign. rain. That's awesome. I'm a huge fan of the Broncos. Big fan. Let's see what else is going on. It would be great to see all new teams this year and today. The playoffs and then there's a cool. Let's see a Patriots and Chicago Bears.

I'm really off key. Nobody saw coming. be awesome oh let's see if I look about anything news oh

stranger things no not strange things well I haven't got I haven't watched any of them I'm not really into that right now but um my fallout has the second episode

I was going to watch it like yeah last night but I wasn't into it I savour those because those are like a treat for me to watch that it's pretty awesome the first one was really awesome lots of heads blowing up in the first one not usually into violence and all that stuff but for that one

I like it really awesome so well what's it well tonight I watch the second season second episode rather on the second season you got to see it for a season pretty awesome all right so let me um see what's going on let's see so technically we're still in like a holiday week is that we could Christmas, then we kind of go back to normal for a little bit, and then I have another even smaller holiday for the New Year, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day is just, really. And then we're, after that, it's just a long, dark winter for like two months. We've already had a really dark winter so far.

Cold. We already had two snowstorms. I did a video, of course, yesterday doing my snowstorm. Keep doing it as they can. If we get a blizzard this year, I don't know what we want to do. I need to have to try to get my snowblower work in and all that. But, of course, if we have to do that, I'll do it. Trying to get the snowblower working.

It has an electric start. It just hasn't been turned down forever. All right. So Etsy, I have nothing going on. No sales. We keep talking about the 20th anniversary of We. Is in the next week. And we'll start trying to see if I can add some new things to my Etsy.

Etsy cost me to be there. That's the problem. 20 cents per listing every I don't know how every long it is but that 20 cents adds up if you have 100

some listings times 20 cents but adds up if I'm not really selling that much there I think I would put the loose up there I might have some action so let's go on to parchment

again so it's super early we're going to just do my podcast clothes on, doing laundry. I've been doing more things now. My mother's sleeping a lot. She's

when you can just see somebody, well, you can see yourself getting older, but you see your parent. All right before your eyes, really getting older, really fast. Things are really changing quickly. And therefore, that's why my podcast is named Prologue,

like 10.3. Because we're still enjoying, like 10.0, I mean, 9.0, but, you know. And I always say, I think I'm running out of time. You're going to get some things, some wills straightened out, and we've got to get some other stuff in order. Hopefully, I'm known, and we've got many years ago for all my animals and my mother and all that. I don't know. And myself.

I keep myself healthy out of that Coleman boy. I don't think I was going to make it through that. one was brutal and my mother made it through which is really sharp so here on pushmark the same deal nothing really changed my closet is still one I want a couple of 1,289 followers no new sales there RSS feed we had a few downloads yesterday to we're at 10 let's see what we're at 10 let's see what we're at Yeah, so I do more, I do a lot of things around the house now, but now I do laundry down in the morning. My mother's to do laundry in the afternoon, but I started doing that now.

Just one less project. She gets up for a little while. She feeds a dog, watch some TV. She plays her her Kindle. She's always done that. It's good for my mind. And then she usually takes a nap in the afternoon. It's up for a little while, and then the fact of it.

Nope. So yes, they had no downloads. My first zero download. 266 though in the last 30 days up 237 percent I'm messaging a bottle over the internet ocean wherever they go I had 1,584 all time I just see the ones that were from yesterday Israel in Pakistan Tel Aviv Ashkant Ashkant and then United States Miami Elgin and the other one I can't say upsilinty

let's check a little monetized here that's also goes to YouTube so I'll usually get a few views on YouTube as well I met nine cents my lifetime is 15 cents and somewhere I lost like 40 cents I was bummed about that

I was excited that I was climbing towards a dollar and then it just disappeared 15 cents I checked my PayPal I have 15 cents my PayPal call pretty wild all right let's go to youtube didn't promote anything yesterday the two videos one was the long numbers are still going up but my revenue is still we're at one hundred thousand three thousand three hundred fifty six so my three fifty six is going down from the 600 something I peak no longer promoting for subscribers it just did

make a difference only I'm only promoting for website link to my website which is my eBay page and it's given me a lot more views 1.5 million views are saying oh I just hit a new achievement which was my new achievement was for four million five thousand views And I would love a penny for rollouts. So watch hours, 11.9K. We had 19 views yesterday. All right, let me get $500.

I'm going to promote that one, though. That was a good one. So we have two comments. Let's check them out. First one's wild west. They got more snow than we did in New York City. We got three inches. And this is my home got.

yes most snow so far this this year here many meters I expect a blizzard this year which has not happened

for a long time we haven't had a bludgeon a long time uh yeah my grandmother got a lot okay nice yeah just a few storms

and almost almost two storms more snow in many years we got a storm I think it was in January two storms

in December too more snow than English is in the greatest but you can just as I always say just do you whatever that is and try to reply to everything I see so there's my numbers 1.5 million it's saying reviews estimated revenues $34.6 we did get a payment this month though which is $129. After like three months, you have to get over $100. But I heavily promoted. I only want to know on, which I've heavily promoted in the last few months.

It's pretty crazy. But I like to see the numbers go up. And we stopped doing it for our subscribers. I hit the $100,000. And that didn't really help me out at all. Now the view hours are going way up. Of course, my number three, number one, two, and three videos is my make.com. my buddy zippy had 42.7k views

my first colvin still hanging around there one-on-one 23.4 my life is a double shave these ones I promoted that's for that for that and if I promote them as the third option for website views I get all the views my number one video now is 363,000 that was like a way in deep

a little bit blazing that was the n60 photo is all my 227,000 now for my life in my first post-COVID YouTube one-on-one 70,000 for my life in a double shape I learned fun things

for like a 55,000 so we'll finish promoting the one else going to do yesterday there's a long well let's go to E-BAN and I'll come back and do that. I don't know, it should be ready to know I only paused it, so we can change the video and we'll change that video.

And we'll resume it. All right, so we did that for 20 bucks. All right, so that should, that one. That was a good one. My tore apart two of the 1000s and my Amiga 500. But we're going to promote that. It's huge for that. If not, I only had 17 views.

So say this is significant. So for 20 bucks, I can turn 17 views into now with the option I use for the website views, I can change this view from 17,000 to maybe 50,000. It's a huge difference, 20 bucks, right? The key I thought was that eventually it was going to catch up with itself. And then I would just, I would just list something for a video, and then I would just get a lot of views, but just, let's go to eBay. Let's see what we created yesterday.

We were really bulting stuff up. So let's see. It usually doesn't take a few days. I got a few offers. A lot of offers, a few sales. I'm expecting some of those things from me get sold. So I've had some offers for them, but I didn't take it. Took a while to ship at the right.

So shipping, someone had a shipping problem. All right, so let's see what we got for orders first. I've got some big things. things up to. Oh, just what I need is a big hit. Ah, yeah, my rev point. So my rep point. My 3D scanner, and I sold my Amiga. Oh, yay. Which I know these things would sell. So the Amiga 1000, the front expansion cover, and I sold the Amiga 1,000 front Beasel. Those are the two that I just pulled off of the second VEG 1,000. I sold them both. Somebody from a

different country and then a Commodore Amiga title for their eBay channel was it kept trying the best offer me low on those I wasn't big but I was cheaper in the US so let's choose your two things there awesome my rap point cool I needed a big hit and then I sold a N64 logo so my red point is the original one point I pop one, it works fine. You have to have on a desktop and when I put out my better desktop, I was getting 8.6

frames per second. That's pretty awesome. That's about as high as it'll go for the pop one. All good needs a desktop. Try it on my laptop. It won't do it. So we got a good amount for that. I also have my 3D scanner.

3D printers, two of them listed. None of these stuff, I got all the stuff and I just never used it. So we're just turning it, flipping it all back. All right, so PC engine console took a while to be shipped, but right up to the holidays, packing. It's advertised, however. I did manage to repair the IFU 30 and the graphics.

It's sitting around until a while to repair the group. It was being opened by someone that tells you to understand the union. All as well. nothing was sugar-coded in their ads as being a parts unit we'll buy again from the cell so he was able to fix them both that's cool i opened it up it took a while to be shipped out right up to the holidays i got an out pretty much i shipped at i think the same day so that's cool it was for a pc engine it was the suitcase and that inside the suitcase it has the counsel, the little

and then the CD mom was in it, too. Somebody with some skills, obviously more than I have. I admit, I'm just a novice at best, and I enjoy being that way, actually. I'll never be a professional.

Nob's fun, though. So, he was having to fix it. So I sold up a parts, and that's what he got, and he fixed it. And I got a good review. Although he said I did ship it right out, but I do. no idea all right so we're going to look at messages have you any original screws yes yes i have two sets the list

recently saw you a video on the PS3 chips fortunately I noticed that these comments said that fortunately did not have actually looking for one of those for the Franken project yeah the only only PS3 boards I have either working or not are from 201 to 1,001A to 101A in 2000, no, 5501A.

which is usually where they are it's called a Frankenstein mod take a PS3 and they take the GPU off the PS3 slim but can only be on the 2501 as a specific chip and they put it on to the PS3 fat that blows the GPUs for the backwards compatible and somehow it works It's called a Franklin, Franken Ma, or Frankenstein? It said, no. All right. This is how much, I don't know.

I should have two, should have two... These units were super pricey, by all parts, by all parts, are high. let's see we've got a couple bigger orders so I can decline things I don't want just drive half hack and we always talk about it half hackers I don't do it and then they're always one-hit wonders well half hacker obviously takes whatever the listing is and puts it for half when that's not doing any half hackers I sold a couple big things always be all set and one hit wonders

meaning they half hack once and I never hear from them again I will abbreviate when you're doing this long you come up with all these things thanks for reporting the buyer

reported that buyer yesterday this buyer yesterday really aggravated with me two N64 yeah 11 so

if I have a listing for $13 and you best off 11 yeah that's fine those little guys are still free shipping I love some of the little guys still free shipping they're just little things for the Nintendo Wii little tab things

more than there so this buyer yesterday opened two returns not one but two what he did was 1064 cartridge slots they sell each one individually by the exact number on them and of course everyone was

tested and I even have all the videos just recently I tested all those as they came in on my n64s what he did is the guy bought one uh and I guess he bought one he has a motherboard problem now it's not the carcress so he bought one and obviously didn't fix his problem so instead of contacting me and asking questions or what suggestions he didn't do he purchased a second one thinking somehow the first one was the problem that I shipped him And then when he got the second one, it still didn't fix his problem because cartridge slots weren't the issue, it was his motherboard. So now he has two of these, and then he does a double, he opens a double return on both of them. And to boot, he puts in the return that they're not as described and said they caused damage to his power supply.

I wasn't having any of that. so eBay I know eBay is going to do so I we messaged back and forth through the return he called me a disgruntled seller towards the end there it's like heck yeah I'm a disgruntled seller all you had to do is contact me through even in the beginning of the process

and I would have never even sold you any I definitely wouldn't have sold you a second one for this exact reason and this is why I got rid of returns and but you know what's going to happen eBay is going to favor him and I'm going to have to take the return it's just not fair

I have I put as no return so when I did the I also filed it for both of the returns on this buyer put all my links to my YouTube page saying yes these work here look at them and also in the message

it's not going to matter I think YouTube uses AI they're just going to see that he said they weren't described and I'm going to have to return take the return. Boy, I'm going to fight. Fight scratching and screaming

because that's everything about that, especially the fact that he was dishonest, never contacted me, and double shot at me with that deal. If something goes wrong, obviously I'll take a return. You have something and say, hey, this doesn't work.

There's no such thing as no returns. There's a big difference between no returns, something that doesn't work, that I made a mistake, or a double shot, from the same buyer who bought a second one after the first one didn't work thinking it was magically going to fix his border on the second time and then said you know what uh he doesn't want to work tech let's just return it and then lie about it uh no happen and of course he got a piece of my mind back and forth and finally called me disgruntled but yeah i am because when you open a return as not as described it goes against my account and you're saying that i did something that wasn't correct and that that's not true at all so that's my little spiel and I'm sure I'll get some sort of

negative feedback somewhere which is fine I'll take it and well of course anything negative and neutral we always bring it to the forefront and we bring it to YouTube and we talk about it that's how I vent I like to talk about stuff like that that's why that's why I do those kind of videos my only I have nobody else to vent too. Oh, I actually bought a few days ago. A few days ago. We already shipped it. Easily yes. Yes. Yes. It would. It would have shipped that day. whom's say $35. Did you need?

You need any other cables and such. Give him a video yesterday. So this guy's asking about a set of screws. So you want you to list things for a certain thing? so the odd to me having amiga 1000 is very very slim having two of them is once in a lifetime and then once this is all done i'll never get out of it whatever guys see that i've got something listed there they're coming around and it actually builds up my view that way i'm going to ebayah this is the second one uh taken that's why i'm not selling it

heart yesterday oh so we're going to open up my big box I got a big box open up but we're not rushing to do it set let's say set of screw is $35

and it seems like a lot but that's the odds you're going to be on again This is a once-in-a-lifetime double purchase to any parts while they last. I only one of them because I wanted to learn about the Amiga 1000 and I learned a whole bunch of stuff about it. Pretty awesome.

And then I'll check that off something I've done. And of course, in that big box is the Amiga 2000, which will be all on need. And then there's also Amiga 3,000 or 4,000 but those are like the Amiga 4,000 has been out for $79,000 as an auction. It's like, whoa.

well second week in 2000 it's got some upgrades and stuff so pretty awesome all right so that's pretty awesome so we're going to go with that feedback's good i got a couple good hits for sales that really helped me out because all these purchases i got to start chopping away at all the prices i got lots of bills we'll get and we'll chop away at my loan or under i knocked off a few uh few a few grand off my capital loan only because i've been selling lots of bigger things because a lot of all my little stuff's not selling me anymore so i have to i had to re-imagined my um ebay here and you had to put a lot more big stuff on and i still get some little sales but i'm just

not selling getting apart stuff i'm going new or new the direction i was hoping by this point that my youtube would be helping me out financially but it's not close not what i expected by now the amount of time i put into it but you can only do you and people either watch you they don't so anywho so that'll be it for this morning next early early morning one and we're going to do a really early morning uh box opening yeah i want to get out i want to get to that little bit it's like christmas today always like christmas around here all right everyone so you have a good sunday and when we have like a half of work week and then we're back into new year and all that good stuff we'll talk about that all right i'll talk to you later
