Morning everyone. It is now 416. Today is the December the 30th, 2025. We're on Tuesday, I believe. So we're a new year's coming up for a couple days. And then we start 2026. I always start out saying by 2026. It'll be the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo Wii, which is relevant for me because I can sell more parts of Nintendo Wii on my Etsy store. It's pretty exciting. And then whatever happens to 2026, we'll see. It'll probably be interesting. 2025 was pretty interesting. Nothing game-changing. But for me, it was a good year. A lot of stuff really bulked up my YouTube and my eBay.

I will not make a million, but we're surviving. My survival hustle for the eBay is doing well. And my YouTube is not quite, not even a side hustle yet. can't quite get it there put more money on negative on that one so but you got to keep trying anyway so what else did we do yesterday so yesterday I had to finish all my orders of course I always say you want me as your seller because by 830 yesterday morning I had all my orders from over the weekend dropped off at the post office my main post office what as soon as they opened so that's pretty awesome it's a lot of work means I had Sunday

I had to do, keep packing stuff up, because I had some really different stuff this time. Well, things are going to take bigger boxes and things. I'm doing a lot more of vintage computing now. So it requires bigger boxes and things like that. And then, yeah, and then Monday morning, I had some more to do. We got them all done, and there was all dropped off. And then I kind of had a couple more later on. During the day, the mailman picked them up.

I have an oversized mailbox, and mailman's just picking up things from me. I'm well-known at the post office. I think I have my own little zip code over there now. I send out so many things. I do it all myself, which is pretty wild. But it requires, but it's good for me. It gives me, it's a good way to keep yourself busy. And you make a little money and have a real fun too.

All right, so let's see what's going on this morning. So, shit, in the Monday Night Football. I think this is the last Monday night football. The Falcons beat the Rams. Rams lost a couple games in a row now. Go for the Falcons. I like to see the other dog one. I'm not a Rams fan at all.

I want to see some of new teams. I'd like to see the Chicago Bears and the Numer Patriots in the Super Bowl. It's not going to happen, but I hope it's not the Eagles. Well, definitely is not going to be the Chiefs because they're gone. So that's awesome. Every team has, they can go up. The Chiefs went way up, but then at some point everything falls down. Patrick Mahomes is now 30 or he's a lot older.

He can't do what used to do. And now he blew his nail, which may even worse. Buffalo Bill is at five years to get the, they had the, aFC championship for five years, and they did nothing with it. They never even made it out of the first round. I don't know, five years. Maybe we've made them to the second round. They can never beat the Chiefs.

So therefore now it's Patriots turn again. They are now EAC champions, so let's see what they can do. That team is really special, I'll tell you about it. All right, so we're on Etsy. Let's see. I had one order on Etsy yesterday. Of course, it went out. This is a set of screws with the metal, so that's pretty cool.

I did that. I've had 741 feedbacks 2,134 sales again we're going to add a new element to this as soon as the new year I do a lot of things I get a new year you get to work out some finances

wills I can get a will fixed up better because things are changing as we always talk about so I need to prepare myself as much as I can possibly do and keep myself the same same time

about work difficult all right so so nothing i have to see but we'll just flash right for that hushmark let's see check there's a little bit more let's see what harsh mark's doing it's pretty much the same I haven't done anything away at 12

1,288 followers I think i lost the followers let's see that's um nope there's just that one one time so weird maybe today i'll go through i cut it way down there just a little bit all right so let me see Let's look to see what we're out here. Oh, I'm about here.

Oh, I'm about here. Graphics from train. We'll pick six. All right. Let's see what I'm just looking through the news a little bit. So if I'd see anything that catches my eye that's not doing, boom. all right so now we're on to our SS we don't have any download yesterday I was getting excited I was getting lots of downloads and then they just kind of change it goes up and

down I just consistently each morning just to help myself wake up and I want to get to eBay that's when everything really goes on here oh I had nine download just this that's pretty cool it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go so it's really fun to see right it's at 273 in the last 30 days where it's way more ice average around 30 per 30 days maybe one a day if not but now we're getting simply more 1,594 let's see what else we have Berlin now that's United States that Miami UK is York Israel is Tel Aviv and the United States is Elgin pretty awesome red dots on the map there of course we'd like to share how much money we're

making here on YouTube on 4G YouTube people on RSS.com I have now I've available now to 16 cents I've lifetime withdraw I have made 15 cents at one point it was at 45 cents and then something happened we took my change away from me so I was kind of discouraged about that it was up to like 45 sense. I was like, yeah, well, we're, like, we're really racking up now. If you get commercial, you can, on this podcast, you know that on my end, I'm making

maybe a penny. Not even. I don't think I make, I don't know how I make pennies, actually. We don't make them here in the US anymore, but I just don't. All right. Let's get this on more action. YouTube, I did not promote anything yesterday. I only did

one video which was we've been doing desk stranding too that's my end of the day wind down I just throw it up for live feed and we got a few views there oh we've worked on my Tshiba to Sierra 700 CT so we unbox that I they both work although I ordered some more hard drive so you can take your old laptops that are IDE computers for IDE hard drives and use a compact flash to IDE almost like a Salisade drive so it's pretty awesome we're gonna set all those up I got a few to set up then we're gonna sell them of course but be fun of setting them up I got two power adapters so so my view so the numbers

my channel are 103,000 30023 so the 323 is still falling not gaining any subscribers I stopped promoting four subscribers because at this point it doesn't matter if I had 700,000 it doesn't make a difference for my overall YouTube channel which my estimated revenue today is 32 dollars and 82 cents however my views have gone up way up to 1.6 million, watch hours of 12.8K. I still have some things promoting, so those will finish up. My number one promotion is on make.com.

I wanted that one to really fly. It's at 43.2K. On my first colon, post-covine, one-on-one, I'd get a lot of view of that one, 24.1K, life in a double shave, which I wanted to promote, 19.1K.

So those are just in the last week or whatever. It's pretty awesome. all right so let's get the meat and bones of my morning here really pumping up our vintage computer stuff things like that it's hugely affected my amount of things going on on eBay we're gonna keep on that run I got lots of tandy stuff we're gonna get to it's an apple all that stuff's gonna get listed so let's see what's going on another world here so we have one order Let's see what that is.

It's a little guy. Just a back two port panel and metal also something else to happen yesterday. A big

order got delivered. That's hopefully solid quality cleaner that most and most I purchased. Great condition was able to get concerts running again. Way better price than anyone compared and very reasonable. Only person I'll use, I have choice for console parts.

So that's the motherboard for the Trinity or Corona. Xbox 360 S 1439. Accurate description, fast shipping, just the parts I'll Just the parts I was looking for the effect is going on the motherboard So we're fast in the payment my bridge board Oh yeah, we'll talk about my bridge board when it comes in for that I need a $2,000 Ouch

A fast shipping well packed everything came work great right away Most of I sell parts, but there are most of stuff works I know something specifically doesn't work I'll make sure that you know that But normally I'll just list it as uh as is but i i have four down i have four i hope i don't have any more four four returns going on two of my fighting but i'll let it he'll kick in and tell me to do something come uh the second four far by all right so let's look at uh Nothing really crazy for a dollar offer. Oh yeah, we did that.

Let's go on. It's sell something for $10. It's a side panel. You know, or $14. With the medical. Maddie. Yeah, I guess I'll get a couple little orders.

called it scrap cash. A little bit of scrap cash this morning. Nothing big going on, so we'll scrap some stuff. $14. I think that was the second offer. See, now, if I'm going to, I delete, I mean, I decline 99.9% of the offers. But if you go back with another offer, if you keep going, then I'll do it.

But do a couple little scrap dash this morning. You only make like a buck or two per order. And these ones don't have the $4 on, I don't think. So we take a couple of orders. So it's not that I don't take orders, I mean take offers, because I do. But I got to be more than you. All right. So let's take these two.

$10 slim. I'm not going to take that. We'll take all these little offers this more. Nobody can say I don't take offers because I do. I know I'm going to take $10 for these things. So each one of these sales that I'm accepting for a $10 offer, he's only in Connecticut. I make maybe a dollar.

It's just so low. It's just so low, it's not nowhere for me to go, but at the time I get it out the door, it's almost $9. So see, they have this before. So if you had to do that, how would you do that? Someone's saying, hey, I'm going to give you only $10. And you're like, well, it's going to cost me $9 to sell it to get it out to you. Why would I accept that? Today I did.

So I've got some more messages. And I'll offer. two two I don't think that I don't have another one you have to delete that I'm saying I had two of those it's for the top covers

Nintendo Wii but the black long short I only thought I had one of those we're on decline now figure that out I don't think I have a second one second set I have to look before I remember I put them so yesterday I couldn't find something

so I messaged the seller the buyer and I never heard back but I found it was for the pink cover for the Nintendo Wii balance board I couldn't find it anywhere but I found a blue one and I was going to

ship the blue one instead but I sent a message of course I don't just cancel all I was trying to contact the buyer first and say hey can't find it somebody just did that maybe the other day they I ordered something overnight before I went to sleep I got up and they canceled the order and never contacted me or anything of course I messes them saying hey thanks a lot for letting me know you're canceling my order so So we threw some stuff up for you. We have one to one question.

Let's get to the question. Now I have four orders, all little guys. We'll just scrap some scrap cash today. Secondary payment has been chopping away at my loan. So it cost me, I haven't talked about all the time, it's my loan. My first one from eBay called Libris. I used to do them through PayPal all the time

where you get an X amount they charge you then an X amount up front and I'll take that I'll just do some easy stuff this morning it's at the $4 on it so I know all my new sale

the listings have $4 dollars on it makes a huge huge difference knowing I've got a $4 cushion that helps you know free shipping not so much That's what else was... That one too. So scrapping all this again,

maybe I make 30 bucks. Boy, buy it. If I do, the mother boy, it's all, no. No. Not at all. This is not a plug-in play.

First, it comes with the matching drive board. This guy's asking about the Xbox 1, 1540 on the board. He's asking if I can just put it up in the work. No, it's not the case for Xbox. First, it comes with the matching drive board, which you mean. need to swap out and requires saddle. Most important, you need to do an offline. You need to do an offline update. down-voting latest OSU-4-4 here and requires a computer and a 8-8-figure is also the process of doing this.

There is also the process to doing this. So, I make sure I say, heck no. his name is his name is his eBay name is Psychopal. So that's never a good sign. I don't know if I want to deal with somebody

named Psychopole. Probably not. All right, so something I now have four orders. Oh, I want to see. So my big order delivered yesterday, which was the last thing I did an eBay video on, which was for the big, but I do, I'll do eBay Shipping Challenge videos on a real big one. And this last one I just did was very, very difficult. But luckily, it was the most difficult one I ever done.

I had all kinds of hard packing peanuts and all kinds of stuff for it so let's see if it delivered yesterday tracking available I ordered to boxes of course oh my

we're going to talk about paying a lot of my first only because I decided to sell all my stuff from the Amiga 2 Amiga 1000s and Amiga 500 because I have an Amiga 2,000 which is pretty awesome

so I order a a 2088x t bridgeboard emulator it comes to all kinds of fun stuff all that's really expensive it's from my Amiga shop so when that comes in we'll talk about that also order they don't have a keyboard there's a couple keyboards for the Amiga 2000 but they're really really expensive too for now we're just going to do some adapters and it think something came in which was yeah I had some camcorder stuff I was playing around camcorders the other day I had a whole bunch of them sold one I just sold another something else another camera or Polaroid so it's a little

Polaroid so that's that but let's go to see so I was it took for a long time I ship this out this was a vacuum vacuum form It was really big and really bulky and not used to shipping things like that, but now I'm kind of have to go towards that Because I'm just not selling a lot of little parts in it So we need to change here. So anyway, I think it delivered yesterday Let's see if it delivered it. So it's saying that it does So if it were delivered it and if there would have been any sort of a major problem I would have known right away

Wanted to deliver. I don't really stress out of nothing. But it was a big upfront purchase for that. Delivered. No, that's not. Delivered. So it's saying it delivered on December 29th. Let's look at the...

Let's see when it delivered. It was going from me in Rhode Island to Texas. huge order details but that's not so the thing is that all this is upfront money that I made for this order if there was any sort of problem and then all of a sudden that all that money would be questioned so I this is really nervous about this everything could possibly think of. So it just says delivered, see when it delivered. At 301 delivered, Monday, it was at 29.

So yesterday at 3 o'clock in Texas, which is a couple hours before us, or after us. So if there was anything major that would have happened when he got it, like the boxers damaged, this thing inside was damaged, I would think I would hurt here from now by now. by now but that's not necessarily true that was a really pricey thing to sell but it really helped me out and then we use it of course to gather stuff but we'll build my store so it's pretty awesome either way I got a lot of stuff to sell okay everyone so a

couple more days will be the new year tomorrow be New Year's Eve and that's the day that you do not want to be out busy at nighttime here in Rhode Island New Year's Eve's going to be maybe a little bit of snow maybe I post course don't do anything for New Year's because I don't stay up I go to bed at four and I've been cleaning sober since 2011 with good stable mental health so I think I want to do celebrating easy at night time that's heck now that's all drinking all that stuff and we don't do any of that so be cool all right so that'll be it for today so I will talk to you tomorrow. All right. Bye.
