Merry Christmas, everyone. It is now 5.15. Today is December, the 25th, 2025, and it's Christmas Day. I hope Santa brings everyone all the gifts they wanted. For me, I'm just, the biggest gift I got this year is that we both are healthy now. And everything is pretty much the same, which is really great. So it's just me and my mother. and my little animals, my dog, so it's my little world.

It's pretty cool. I'm just grateful that those are the gifts that Santa has fun this year. It's for me. And then maybe I got a card to my mother with some, I usually, has some photos. I take pictures all the time, the dogs. Sometimes she used to put the dogs. So I get the CVS and printed some stuff out, put it in a card. And one lottery ticket, scratch one.

So that's my present for the day. So yesterday, what did we do yesterday? We played, oh, I sat and explained about something I'm, if I'm trying to learn something new on how to improve my YouTube, I like to share with other people. So with my buddy Zipri, I learned about make.com. It's really fun, pretty cool. It's a flowchop, but it's an automated flowchot.

And then after, so I did a video for a while just explaining how it works. And then later on, I actually did a lot more, which is with buffer. Buffer is kind of like the same thing, but that costs money too. So we added a buffer. We did some router branches on Make.com. So we're just playing around with some new stuff and learned about some new social sites I added. Threads is one of them. Blue Sky was another one.

They found those in Buffer. Those weren't in Make.com. the buffer is another place where i can send it to buffer and then from buffer it sends it out to x because these are those ones not connected to make.com so pretty interesting uh it's pretty fun so i'm just working on that and then i sat down through my uh live feed up and play death stranding i've got two roads done now they take a while but uh i like death stranding too because now i have a mine so i'm almost done upgrading my mind so you take stuff you throw it into the mine and then i make sure materials. It's pretty awesome.

Instead of trying to run around, trying to find materials all the time. Ceramics is a key. I need a lot of ceramics. I'm just working in the area that I'm at to start, finish all my roads, and then move on. Instead of just trying to kill the story without doing any roads, that's no fun

that way. I thought I didn't want to do the other one. I put like 50 plus hours in the original death training. So we're already at like 20 hours here. I'm deaf training too. And I haven't got uh i got up to the musician that's the last that's the last place i went so pretty cool all right so let's see what's going on today santa should have dropped all his gifts off and all everyone's got lots of good christmas memories got a really cool photo i think i can upload it uh it's a really

neat photo of way back in my day of christmas i actually still have the stocking my name on it pretty neat but my favorite photos all right let's look through there's a football action going on today oh yeah it's football commanders uh cowboys lions Vikings Broncos chiefs what chiefs they just they're just everyone goes up and then eventually it really falls now it's just the way it is and then new people go out. You know, the same people win it all the time.

Let's see if anybody won the jackpot. Let's see. Okay, because the choice just lost. They're just... through the news not really seeing anything that's all right so let's go to find out we had any business there was no orders yesterday was just christmas day i would christmas eve so i would assume i think i had i did have orders to send out on the night before so we get up of course i went out i think the post office yesterday because it's christmas eve was only up until

noon so i did all my orders first thing in the morning and i went out and dropped them all off by like 830 That's why it was going to use your seller. I'll keep pushing low. And then after that, I didn't have any, which was fine, because I was playing around with that. Like, Buffer, make.com, and all other social media sites I can connect you. All right, so Etsy's quiet today, no orders.

See if there any activity. Last order I had was for Powerbase, Sega, hull base button top button reset button so let's go to Parchmark let's check it up my closet here 1,287 that's staying pretty much the same but we have an anniversary coming up for oh that's really for Etsy though the 20th anniversary of is the detender we it's going to really help me out for my Etsy technically is supposed to be only selling things at 20 years or older or homemade everyone sells other stuff too but all right my sales same deal nothing going on

there all right so let me go to all right a few download yesterday still a couple on the other side of the world pretty awesome see it's my message in a bottle over the in the ocean wherever it may go pretty cool all right so let's see we had it going on yesterday two like two downloads yesterday two hundred seventy three this year this month just three hundred and forty eight percent normally it's usually around 30 30 days I usually have like 30 downloads so this was for some reason really 1,565 oh I have a nice I did a just for today

this is a Santa logo you'll see it all right so we had two downloads let's see we got here you Pakistan had a couple of those Kashkint

Israel Tel Aviv pretty awesome United States Miami United States Y Piscite I don't know how to say it's really weird No it's a Y-P-S-I-L-A-N-T-I

I'm trying to say that. And then Tiffany. Tiffany's been around for a lot, too. That's pretty awesome. I like when people hang around. Things do change each morning, even though the routine is the same. By the time I get to eBay,

things can significantly change. eBay is a key. Let's go to YouTube. So I did heavily promote my... I call it YouTube Insight, talking about make.com, just because I think it's something on the share with somebody for other small channels out there so maybe we will get some views on that deal

so we're at 100,000 3,406 subscribers so we're slowly going down down to 406 we're at six something view hours at 1.4 my watch hours are 11.7 of course as estimate estimate of revenue is $35.41. We had 731 views for my desk training 2 or thumbs up. I played that for a while, a couple hours maybe. I just open a, I don't do videos for that. I'll just open up live stream and just let it run while I'm playing. See if anybody comes in. Come do. Well, I was like more people came in after. I could have swore with only 69 views, so that's been awesome. So let's look at my, uh, how many views I've had 13,000 now for my make.com. with my buddy zippy i heavily promote that one i just think it's fun to share try to do things

that it can help other people i can not that i can really say that i still call myself a small channel because i'm making 35 hours of 41 cents the the amount of subscribers is irrelevant those that's what i was paying for before was getting more subscribers thinking that that was going to be the keep but it was not that was uh it's fun to see it but so now I'm going after views with you hours of 1.4 million watch hours 11.7k yeah still at $35.4 for I really had no other options left but to say that this is it the best I can do with it with YouTube kind of a minor but we'll still keep doing it all right oh a couple people to subscribe so it's so actually had two new subscribers and I lost other

subscribers all right so let's get the real business here let's get this morning going see if we had any overnight Christmas shoppers no a couple sales I did list a few more things yesterday and of course today we're gonna start with some things more Apple stuff so I just I have two orders. Good quality item, fair price, but sellers extremely conditioned. Oh, so we have a negative feedback. Let's check it out. I knew we're going to get one eventually. Oh, no, it's neutral. Good quality, fair, but the seller's extremely condescending. Take the look as the replies to any of my reviews. I was belittled and insulted for using the make button, that's items.

If I used to make offer button, items, and then got told how he deserves an extra dollar. Of course I do under what I offered because how quick the shipping is. Same day, shipping has been around for years. It is nothing special, man. And after I paid the purse that, I merely given an offer, it just declined to insults me more. Oh, cool. Okay. Gotcha. I'm not all over that.

I am all over that, buddy. so let's re-read that again let me just see my offers good quality item and fair price but sellers condescending so this says I am I am a very upfront and honest seller Yes, I scrape for every dollar I. All right, so I scrape for every dollar. can get for all the hard work done on each and every order. I do it all myself as a one. man one man shop so yes I do it all myself is a one man shop

All right my cost. I'm up front and honest as a one-man shop. I keep it real. Buyers don't like that. My listings are at rock at my bar. My listings are at my rock bottom prices with free shipping you want us now sick. You want it's back. after an eBay auto offer

for an unknown eBay auto offer The insult is the low offer. The first insult is always I don't think I get that in there the low offer the first insult is always the low offer okay so this we're gonna stick with his negative neutral feedback good quality item and fair pricing but seller is extremely

condescending take a look at the replies to any of the reviews I was belittled and insulted by using the make-off a button on a an item, then told how he deserves the extra dollar under what I offer because of how quickly ships it. Same day shipping has been around for years and it's nothing special, man. And I made and after I made a purchase, I was immediately given an offer, given an offer for the offer just to decline insult me. My reply, I am up front and honest as a one-man shop. I keep real. scrape every dollar I keep it real I'm gonna get rid of I scrape it a dollar I keep it real keep it real most sales most sales I make most sales I make most sales I make about

five dollars after all fees you'll never yeah I like that better I am up front and honest as a one-man shop I keep it real most sales I make about I only only only make about five dollars after all fees you'll never understand the time effort and ship the cost it goes into getting it goes goes into getting items of course I'm going to block this guy out the same day I do not need to accept any other offers there was a discount going on at the time of the purchase most listings are at my rock bottom prices were free shipping even one ounce now it's nine dollars my cost

you wanted cents back after after in unknown auto offered the first insult is always the low offer that's what we're sticking with and of course

I'm going to put here and I'll say Merry Christmas And, yeah, I only made, like, I think I made $4 off of that. Merry Christmas. Yeah, I think it was time. $10. Merry Christmas, buddy. Yeah, so I made maybe $4. So I scraped for that one extra dollar.

And then there was some cents from an auto offer. There is an $8 offer. So that's a hell. So buyers just can't deal with it. They just expect that whatever they offer. we're talking about all the time half hackers his wasn't a half hacker

but my listing was only at $16 he wanted to go down to like 12 cost me nine and change to get that to him that means him down to $3 and then he wanted to take off more so my $3 would be down to $1 and yes

if you're shipping the same thing same day is a lot of work so so let's make that up yeah never know i'm gonna get i'm not going to change the way i act or or reply to insult because the insult the first insult is always the low water always that's where it starts if you just would have purchased it for the extra dollar uh then uh none of this would be going on but you did not so we're going to block you for the rest of your existence

I'm sure I wouldn't purchase anything for me again anyway, but it doesn't matter. And we'll check my other stuff. So that was when neutral. I'm surprised it wasn't negative. What basically isn't negative. I've had a few buyers lately that couldn't wait for the seven days. You get a seven-day grace period before we give you a neutral and negative feedback. And they've made it in the positive.

and we usually replied to those as well and I would share it of course I share everything you gotta show the good and the bag isn't it when you'd sell like this it's really really really hard and I've talked about it many times selling gaming parts over the years

it's hard in my soul so I just say it like it is if I was talking to you in front of you and a lot of buyers you can deal with it And we're talking dollar bills down to. I'm not saying this was a $300 item that I didn't want to take $100 off of. This was $16 item that he wanted to take off three more dollars, and that would leave me with, like, $2.

And that wasn't happening. And I still shipped it out from the same day. That's okay. All right. So, yeah, so you can check that out? So let's take care. Let's go back to my eBay here. And it was anything neutral negative,

but it do happen. Not perfect. And I will fight for every dollar. And best offers there is such a pain. But I do take them on things where, but I also have sales too. Oh, I sold another mother. I sold another apple.

And if we sold a power supply, the G power supply. So yesterday I had a couple of Apple floppies. I sold one, I had two more, I sold the second one. Yeah, right now I have a 20% of discount. But what happens is the other day I had 40%, and then I was throwing an extra 5%. So it was 45%, and then I had this one buyer who was half, was half-hacking me after that.

And I was like, I'm not doing a sale and then take another discount. How many stores you go to where there's a sale and then you go up to the registry and you say, oh, yeah, can you take another half of that off? No, not. Just because I have it, it doesn't have to use it. So this buyer the other day gave me an F-bomb. Because I decline. I don't do counters.

It's just a waste of your time and mine. It's a very simple concept. If I see an offer, I'll take it if I don't want it, I decline it. And he kept knocking more, and then he gave, like, $1 more, and it was $1 more. And I just kept declining. And then this third offer was into the dollar more, and then he had an F-bomb in there. And I was like, I'm done with that. So for the few extra bucks, I think it was three more dollars.

I think I had the listing for the other day. It was at $26. He was trying to get me down to $21. No, I wasn't doing that. So instead of just a few extra bucks, I think it was shipped that day. He wanted to go that route with the F-bomb. So now he will never get it from me, and he's blocked. It's not just the way it is, man.

You do this for nine years. You'll see, nine and ten years. You'll see how you get. Overall, he's usually pretty good. All right, so that's why Merry Christmas for the morning. I have a couple of orders. Pretty cool. I think I have a little bit of money to put in the bank.

Again, I scrape for every dollar, and I'm very proud of that, and I'll never not try to. And again, people just don't want to deal with someone that's up front like I do. Okay, so, you know, hopefully everyone has a nice Christmas. I've got lots of fun things I'm going to do today. I'm not sure what it is. Oh, yeah, we're going to Apple, back to my Apple Macintosh. I got some fuses.

I got to pull that out and get some of all those parts listed, but I've got to test the powerboard. First powerboard blew a fuse, but I'm not sure where it blew. So we'll work on that today. Up in my little project, because today is a holiday, because it's Christmas. So, it's a little fun this morning.

Never know. Again, and I always react as soon as I see something like that. I check every feedback that comes in. So when I get blasted by someone, I always blast back. This is always too tied to a story. So you can definitely look through all my negatives. My neutrals are going down now. Every negative neutral feedback stays on for a year.

So, and normally I'll probably talk about this later on my YouTube channel as well. I usually do just so I can bring it up so people can see it. But you're more than welcome to check all my neutral feedbacks in my negative ones. Some are brutal, but somewhere, and boy, do I make sure I reply to every single one of them. My neutrals, I've got five now. It's only down to, my negatives am down to three. And there's a story behind every single one of them. And if you want to hear more about the story, just ask me.

I'll give you that. I reply to it to give you some of the story. But I will be more than happening You can tell you the rest of the story Some of it's my fault, but not normal Or it could be part of mine So in this case it would be my replies To wanting to take more money off of something

That I was already down low on It wasn't happening And I always take the abuse at the end But the buyer still gets what he wanted And that's it and we're done all right all right so you guys

have a good Christmas a little fired up here but not too bad just what it is what it is well I'll talk about it later on YouTube have a nice Christmas and I will talk to you tomorrow

all right
