Morning, everyone. It is now 618. Today is December the 9th, 2025. And we're on Tuesday.

So yesterday we did a little bit. I worked on my Xbox, the dreaded Xbox 1X 1787, decided to keep it. So we upgraded. I swapped one terabyte drive as a Samsung. It's a little bit older driver. mechanical, really shouldn't stay in there. But for now, that's what I decided to do. Then I downloaded some games. I have some games that are on the Series S-X, so you can't play it on that X-1. But still games I've really never played so.

So we played around that for a while. Still coughing yesterday. I couldn't quite shake the coughing. It's like I'm forcing myself to cough, and I'm not sure why. Plus, my head was really like, almost like buzzing my mother talks about all the time but my mother got up we'll talk about that now because it's part of uh she's gotten better she's better she was a little more self-sufficient

yesterday she was out she was up for quite some time so that was pretty cool but she didn't get up until late so my dogs and my two dogs roxy and rain today they're sleeping dogs so they stay with as much as she sleep so get them out they go pee and do their thing and they get something to eat and they'll go right back to bed too so it's pretty cool for them for her I helped them so yeah so she's hanging in there doing all right and yesterday we did a little bit

so we'll see what today brings I had some orders got my orders done of course I always get my orders today I woke up feeling okay I'm not too bad right now no cough right this second no chest congestion or anything but we'll see how the other day goes

changes as the day goes on here all the eagles lost yeah i'm not the eagles fan at all so i like i like charge you so i'm glad to charge it from eagles pretty awesome uh football's starting to get into the the meat and bones and stuff a lot of the good all the good teams the eagles the sheafs and all them all not as good this year but that's cool there's lots of new fun teams that are cool Bronco, the Patriots. Ooh, the Patriots haven't played, like, in two weeks. Boy, I hope they don't have too much rust on it.

They've been resting for quite some time, and they've got to play Buffalo. What is that, Gillette? But it's not necessarily a home field advantage of Gillette. But we'll see. I think it's next, this Sunday, I think. Huge, huge game. But I think the Patriots will be in the playoffs either way,

which is outstanding and super surprising compared to last year no actually last three years all right so let's get some business going here let's see what we got going on let's see let's see nothing going on that's see right now to ban me feedback away I want to be back a good five-star feedback yeah that's pretty cool great item for my PS2 cool lots of I sold lots of them, the PS2 fat switching cable. I'm not sure why you need to replace it, but I sell them every once in a while. I don't think it'll fix something that's broken.

Pretty cool. I've got one good feedback there. So we've had 739 feedbacks here on Etsy. 2,128 sales. I have 126 things listed here. But what I'm going to do is the the anniversary of the Nintendo Wii is 2026. So I'm gonna make a whole new section

of Nintendo Wii stuff for my, I haven't added anything to Etsy forever that I'm going to very soon. So we're gonna, it's technically it's supposed to be if you're selling things on Etsy, it's either 20 years old, 20 years or older, or it's homemade.

So obviously all I'm gonna think homemade. homemade. So there's lots of, Etsy's my go to place for anything, homemade gaming. So if you want something that's gaming related, but it was made by somebody, you'll find it on Etsy. It's pretty awesome. I highly recommend it. And the games that are remade or fixed or actually home, you know, they take a game and then they go into it and add stuff to it. To that homemade game. So there's stuff like that too here. And it's pretty awesome. all right let's go on to what's next let's put a push mark just my social media site so we're still at 1,283 for hours I need to get to Etsy I mean to

parchment get a lot of stuff off here don't sell anything here that might could just take everything off of not just fun to have it there doesn't go as we say so it doesn't bother. Just another place. Macquarie is the other place I wanted to get to. I've not yet done that. I did register, you have to use your phone to show your ID and everything like that.

I did that. Then I never got any further. All right, so let me go on to all my RSS fee. had some luck been pretty cool i'm always excited to see i go anywhere in the world try to have consistently have a podcast each morning helps me wake up let's see what we got this morning something i decided to do on a as a little extra thing for my youtube channel and i really dig it i do it all the time i like to do some more but i haven't had time oh so now we're doing good here now 24 downloads in the last 24 hours. That's outstanding for me. Wow, it's pretty cool.

It's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. It's going all kinds of places now. This is really fun. 178 downloads in the last 30 days. I was averaging. I haven't quite done this for a year, but I was averaging only maybe wanted to download a day. So sometimes I'd have zero. 1,446 all the time. but I just keep good keep doing it so let's see what we got Miami shows to Canada Toronto three in Germany Stuttgart I don't think that's how I say it but Lunan Germany Hamburg herring Hamburg yeah so I don't know I'd say 24 download but it's only shown me a few but pretty exciting and I course I have to flatten out

Oh, yesterday I did. What did we do yesterday? Oh, we did our one-on-one yesterday. So we sat down and did a one-on-one camera's views were a little different because I got those mechanical arms now. So I think it came up pretty cool. Live feet came out good. I did get one adapter in for my mechanical arms.

We talked about that, too, and a little quick little video. I was supposed to order two and only got one. And I sent the message to the seller and I haven't heard anything. We'll check on that. and we get to eBay in a few minutes here. Oh, so we check monetize here on, you guys can keep track of where I'm big money, big money I'm making. 38 cents. I didn't really make any more money since yesterday.

Available balance that I have is one penny. Although the United States doesn't make pennies anymore, I make them. I make pennies every day. I have one penny I can withdraw if I want to. it's pretty funny all right you got to make light of stuff like this it just just makes life a lot easier all right so let me go into some business here let's go to YouTube you promoted that one-on-one heavily but god it's got to be it because I can't I just keep dumping one in there all right so for subscribers we have 100,000, 2,000, 6,000

53 pretty awesome I had 41 views yesterday for my one terabyte install I took it from my Xbox 11540 put it in a put it in the X 1787 what it was missing is that X boot file but then I when I I later on I reset it set it up for me not sure if that file came back on because there was another update so they might have put it on there my estimated revenue $55.15. So I'm actually going down negative from my

revenue. View hours 985.3K. Watch hours 7.4k. My average duration yesterday for my little video was two minutes and 47 seconds. Yeah, all of that has made me nothing. All right, let's get a couple comments.

It says, is that a whole table at either way, it's cool for its love, yes, yes. I got a bin of motherboards. Local. I made a desktop butter. It's one of the cool things I did. For fun.

For fun. Those boys. Let's see the other question. Is the Xbox being better than that? better than yes the last of the last usually has the best less less power used But, for our modders, the S is more preferred. Like, the last of the last usually has the best tech, with less power used.

But for modders, the S is preferred. correct yeah so smaller usually as they go to the next generation of the same console it's smaller i.e. PS2 fats to a PS2 slim

there's a major change talk about a quick tech update right it's huge all right so let's see what else we got going on let's see if we can click on any new subscribers here

let's see a few people seven uh someone's at 12 2 23 these are what they have for subscribers

they're really small ones one's five that's why I go and fake subscribers because although I get subscribers ones, there's zeros that they don't really have anybody so they're just kind of like a fake account

which an account that's really never used other than months probably so therefore all the $100,000 I have like that they're not really of all the $120,000

$100,000, $653 yesterday I had 41 views of a non-promoted video those are the only 41 people that I have as real subscribers that actually watch anything and I bet you those 41 those people are probably all they'll have the premium therefore it's ad-free so the only views that I get without promoting are from people that are ad-free and therefore

I never make anything of it kind of bummer that's just the way it is I'm just I'm writing this out now it's just watching it grow so I can really do with it so my biggest video still is my I go way in deep drill pit to blazing that I need 98000 point K 98.6k000 pretty awesome my first post-coven YouTube channel I like 17.3. I officially have Colvin 14.4. I really wanted to know that Colvin because it was a it was a unexpected and it just knocked me on my ass. We had a peak of views which was up to like 105 so it's pretty awesome. So my number one video by far is I'm at almost 300,000

views and i can't make a dime it's just so frustrating when i have an average duration of one minute and 49 seconds my i go way in deep feel bit blazings one minute 49 seconds it's yet and then almost 300 000 views and yet i went negative uh two dollars overnight the next one's 135 these are numbers never had before it's a new way to promote like My Colvin, I just slept, I did a podcast, too. I had 43,000 for that. So a lot of this stuff's helped. And then my other one, I officially had Column for the first time.

That's my second podcast I promoted. That is 23,000. What a piece of junk, $25,000. These are numbers I never had until I went to the next level of promoting, which was, for some reason, going to my eBay store as an option. gave me lots of views I went away from getting more subscribers and went to more views

and unfortunately at the end of the day for me it made no difference monetarily wise okay so speaking of business let's see if we can muster up some cash here on eBay maybe get a little bit

it's my lifelines the only I got I live for the eBay been pretty good to me I put a couple more things up yesterday we got some feedback here let's see if we got it item as described fast shipping that was the next one was looks good

as advertised was well packed Wii U council front panel cover tandy great service intact disk drive I'm sold disk drive gaming computers I got tons of things to sell it was not something I just hoping I could have a second income somewhere I just can't muster all right so now let's go look at my sales so the eBay side is something new now it says for due in 24 hours eligible so we have

for sales just little little guys but we'll take off um one is heat sink for the um heat sink for the um it's in the game cube cartridge slot i put a super nintendo or super fancom and then we had some screw sets and a power board a power button board for the nintendo GameCube different person yeah and then we did a metal metalware he key the heat sink set the best heat sink set we got a set of those as well and I just put his metalware some of some really really really shiny I can't I just don't have shiny and I've no way or the time or the stuff that they must they must soak them in something make them really shiny like that so if you really need a

really cool some guys want oh guys or buyers want heat sink sets for the Xbox 360 we're talking about Xbox 360 might of the fin set the copper pin set some people want it because they have a top cover that's open so they want it really shiny so there is somebody that sells me like that I don't have in that way I would if I could but I just don't only sell what I have all right so let's go to the messages here see and my voice is a little bit off this morning too this is a little bit off this morning too yeah I don't know yeah I don't know something that says these these

are sets from the PS 101. I pull, so he's saying that something that I ship, and ship at random. That would have been a stock photo. I was not aware of one of those being different. Which one are... So I have an issue. It's a stock photo, and within that stock photo, the buyer says there's something that's different.

then what I see it which one are you talking about MS 2a6 that's the guy that gave me an issue to show me show me show me show me photos of mine shipped and what you want my photos show I knew nothing about any Variation. I knew nothing about any variation. I had the other thing come back to the day, and I still haven't heard anything about $20. I'm not going to forget it. The controllers, the GameCube controllers, let's skip it.

some discs came back it was like a mystery box it came back without any return and just sitting on it i've had things get shipped back that were shipped and it was problem with someone's address and things like that i just wait for the buyer to contact me because i had to pay to ship it that way they paid to ship it back but i have no idea why unless you want to contact me i'm not going to do some sort of a mystery back and forth thing because I still had to pay a ship it there so if you

do something like that you got to contact me because I'm not I'm just going to sit on it until someone says something because it's paid I paid to get there and plus it was no returns

so that was the other deal so that's something mystery that came in and never had that happen before I haven't heard anything I've had things get returned shipping across country I think I recently had something shipped to Alaska

a bunch of parts and they all came back and I never heard from me I don't know I'm paying that I had to ship to Alaska and then I had to pay the ship back so

it's not something I'm just going to refund you because it returned not going to happen because I put time, effort, money and all that stuff plus the shipping costs each way and a lot of buyers don't want to talk

don't want to communicate at all And you get a lot of mystery buyers. Oh, and speaking of that, make sure aggravated. So we talked about it yesterday in my video, and now I'm angry. So now I'm going to open a return on this knucklehead. So I contacted the seller.

And they never replied back. Missing parts, pieces. Probably going to have to put... I'm going to have photos that are required. I'll have to do that later. So, anytime I have so many contacts me, unless I'm sleeping, it's normal when most of the stuff happens. For me, it's overnight while I'm sleeping.

As soon as I get up now when I'm doing the podcast here, I reply to any messages, damage control, which I have one of this one, something that's shipped different than shows the photo which I would have I would have had no idea but I had to look for a variation didn't know that so one of those boards it's for the PSP 101 is a variation must be on one of those boards that it's the first time that's come up that I've sold a whole bunch of those so I'll come up to work through that so

and then now I'm gonna have to do this return what I can do I need photos. I only got one. But I can put the link. So later on, I'll do the return. I paid good money for those. And you can't even... The point is that I sent...

As soon as I only got one, and what I did is I did a video when I opened that bag package yesterday because I knew I could only feel one inside of it. And of course, I'm not a fan of that not being in the box that aggravated me already because it was plastic.

So plastic in a pad envelope was never a good thing although and then also it came it marked as delivered but then i couldn't find it i was like oh no i lost something and then two days later all of a sudden it showed up in an amazon kind of thing package uh pattern envelope it was only one inside of it so i always make sure i video everything as i open it especially lately i've been really striking out with ebay man you can i get something something i try to be good on my end as a seller but sometimes i make a mistake but i don't know but this this variation i'm not sure what that's all about something that's not in the photo and i'm not selling i always say if i'm selling exact ones i put i would say

these are the exact ones it's not what that was the photo is just a stock photo three of them there are four pieces for the PSP 101 he's saying he's different than the photo I wouldn't have known so I'm to figure what that's all about I don't even know if I have whatever he's talking about

yet so there's any way I learned there's usually I learned from a mistake like that although it's not a mistake that I intentionally made it wasn't like the purpose purpose was to pull the four pieces from that at PSB 1001 and I had like seven or eight of them shoot photos of those exact pieces and then sell them as I pull them not in exact ones

but buyers don't want to hear that they want to see what they see is what they expect to get it's not unless I say it's exact it's just not that way and sometimes there's a variation I had a really problem with my motherboards for the PS3 fat backwards compatible, the COK-O-1 motherboard. You checked my last two negative feedback? Same concept. The first one, I was just selling a COK-O-1 motherboard. I didn't know there's a variation of minus 32 and a minus 22 on those boards.

The first, the buyer, the first one I shipped was C-O-O-1 motherboard, but it was a minus 22, and he assumed that my photo has showed it on the board. board that I didn't even know it said minus 32 but he had a fit about it so then I worked out three more that I found that were minus 32 and then I shipped those to him and then he flipped it on me and said that one of the ones that I shipped the next round was the minus 22 which was actually the minus 22 from the first order he flipped it on me and asked and made it as if I shipped him another minus 22 which I didn't and I just lost my mind on that deal So I get two negative feedbacks.

And he got his money back, too, a bugger. So I had to take all that. So the point I'm making is this variation sometimes that you just don't know when you're listing things, they can come back to really bite you. This will be one that's going to bite me too. But I don't care. I didn't know.

It's nothing that I wasn't selling. Each board wasn't detailed by that specific board model. What did he say it was again? so the board he said let's read this again it says hi friend thank you for the order we received package however we're looking for part ms 299 it's pictured do you have we received ms 268 so there's an ms 299 of one of the boards i don't even know which board that he's referring to we received ms student i knew nothing about any variation so And that's the guy he kept giving me offers.

And now he's, yeah, I see, I knew this is a little, someone had a problem with offers. You get basketball offers. Now he wants a specific woman. So we'll just, I have no idea about that. So now he's going to try to get money back, you watch, because I didn't, he's going to say that I shipped him a different one, and exactly what's going to happen here.

And it's, on the picture, sure. MS-99, okay, so I could see the MSS-99 would be the one with the SIM card on it. Not SIM card, the SD slot. I see it. I see the number now, MS-99. It's clearly pictured in my photos. I would have never noticed it in the years. So, either I can just ship it. I don't even know if I have

another one. I don't know. So, so now I'm going to to take that listing down now I have to take the listing down so I'm going to have to do because now I'm showing something that I didn't know I was showing and buyers will zoom in on that and they think I can read their minds and they see it and I can't I don't read minds so we're going to have to I'm going to have to go in here play around a little bit more of my eBay here I've got a problem so now I have to resolve it to resolve it And then I have to fix this so it doesn't happen yet.

But I don't think I have one more that he's left. Let's go down. So we're going to take this down. Yeah, and this person's going to give me a problem because they wanted a lot less. I just didn't want to hear it. And now he's saying that I didn't ship them something correctly. Exactly what's going on.

And I'm sure it's not the one on that picture, but I wouldn't have known. Don't know, of course. All right, so we got some repayment, a little money to the bank from me. Yay. Let's go to my active. I'll just do a little bit of work here this morning. Yeah, my voice is really hoarsey today.

I coughed a lot when I went to sleep, but then I kind of fell asleep. I take sleep medicine, thank goodness. I take Remmeron, metazepine, which is something I've taken for many, many years. It's helped me sleep. It breaks up my day. I usually, I'm a 12 to 14-hour sleeper. I've always been, but now even more so, I've been sick.

I can take that, and that'll just knock me out. It helps me get through that colon, tell you that much. All right, so we're going to go to, I'm going to take this listing down now because it's a problem. never had a problem I'm gonna get to where I want to be here so usually eBay is where everything rarely goes for the day I only have a few orders there's smaller orders but have a problem not a huge problem but can be could be because it'll be the I will say that in the honesty that

I just were selling those four pieces, not specific ones of those four pieces. That was unknown. So we could get my head to trying to get to where I want to be here. I'll filter. All right, so we're going to take that listing down. Let's go find it first. So everything categorized pretty cool as best as I could. so Sony PSP but PSP system parts 101 now I'm gonna take that down

we're gonna find those boards too I can do one of those so he's saying that one of those board just different for inner boards all right so we're gonna end that and And that listing, I need to start over on that. I'll have to flip it or something. Didn't know about any variation. All right, everyone. So that's my little, always something going on. Just go with the flow.

My, as soon as I get up here and get to eBay, and then I kind of know what my day is going. We'll do some videos later. I think I'm going to do some PS2s today, I think. Yeah, I've got a bit tear down for all PS2 two fats I have. That's what we're going to do today. We test them and get them all torn down. We'll do one long video just doing that today. It sounds like a plan. Mix it up every day. Yes, they did Xbox One. They will do some PS2 slim. Oh, actually, I had two slim two. And I have a whole

bunch of slimmed. They take up a lot of space. We've got some motherboards listed, but I think I've got some 5,000 model motherboards that work. And I also have some 5,000, uh, Pousal why does that work that i don't have listed put some new stuff up yesterday too so so we motherboards and things like that all right everyone so you have a good afternoon today's tuesday so you're again second day of the work week try to suffer through it um and i will talk to you tomorrow all right
