morning everyone it is now 5.04 a.m. today is December the 17th 2025 on Tuesday I believe every day just kind of blends in the weeks just fly by so um yeah it tastes I'm pretty sure I say Tuesday we did some fun things um I had to pack a box so I often do eBay packing challenge. It was a smaller box, but it was still a challenge. I had to get it as a box. It was a T-1000 to Shiba that worked. It was in its original box, and I had to put that box in another box. Try not to disturb the collector box. So it did pretty good. To be a little while, I'll do that. Then later on in the day, oh, so then I spent the whole day mass listing on eBay. So I spent the whole day pretty much listing things all day, and

And I decided I created my new little buddy, my buddy Zippy for now. He's a mute AI dummy. I was at Michaels, and we were just walking around, looking for some crafty stuff. Not really that crafty, but I try to be. And my mind is really crafty, but the actual, me actually physically crafting stuff is not usually, doesn't usually happen. But we managed to come up with that guy, just with the white head, and then I added some stuff to him. the eyes I gave him some hair and mustache so we decided just to put them up for like an hour as a live stream just him and I had my mic on see if I hadn't really would interact with me but

I didn't really have anybody but it was just fun to do it and it was sitting in a position I put the Mario hat where underneath in the Mario body it's just about in the right spot so it came up pretty cool so I think it's like an hour and I just left it on so I've decided that even if I just run a dummy or if i'm doing something i get the same amount of views i'd really discourage with my youtube but we just just keep doing it so i just decided because i was still listing things but i said hey you know what let's throw my dummy out i put them together so i have some other things coming in for maybe not him but i'm going to have another make it one more and maybe more interactive we'll see so i'm going to learn how to use some um the stevee 32 board

and interact with something. I had to go out and look for, but I kind of found what I was looking for. So we'll see when it comes in. We'll play around with that. I'm going to learn how to do some more of that

programming with those little bullets. I've done Raspberry Pi. I've got Ubuntu. I can run Ubuntu through it. So we'll see when it comes in. A couple things from China. Speedback, we should get a little bit of a week. It's pretty cool.

So it'll be fun to that we're going to build. so we'll build some sort of an AI buddy so also what I do my AI dummies I made a hot glue one of my clamps that I got in so I could hold them up on the on the one of my mechanical arms so mechanical arm now can be used for my dummies well oh we're doing something weird because life's short just have fun one that cares all right let's what's going on It's like the news. It's been brutal.

You can scan through it. It was just such a down. And so many things are just, oh. Now, I could easily sit and talk about some of the doom and gloom, but I'm just not going to do it. I want it would happen. Got my head the other night, I told me in the middle of the night I was, in the middle of the night, I was dreaming of being in Wendy's and it was a little of it was a day.

an active shooting in wendys was it last night yeah last night I couldn't shake it was run around for hours in my brain and brain you did not like that yes the last night I slept pretty good all right so let's get the business see what's going on five stars it's exactly what i purchased thank you yay so good couple good five stars feedbacks not enough let's see we've had uh 741 feedbacks and that's a few negative ones they don't give you negative just like one star something went wrong or something weird to happen every once in a while that's 2,130 sales and it's it currently have 1226 listings however a big anniversary,

2026, which is coming very fast. Nintendo Wii turns off when 2006 came up. So it's a big thing that I can really bulk up my Etsy is where I've got to do. I haven't put anything new on Etsy

for a very long time. But I can throw a whole bunch of oldie stuff. You're technically supposed to be 20 years or older or homemade for Etsy for people who use or put all kinds of stuff on. it's it's not 20 years old but it is kind of homemade stuff so you can take you know games

and then people go into the games and make them different so it's technically a like a homemade game I wish you would say so that so anything like that you find on Etsy it's the best place to find stuff like that all right so let me go to Parshment. Closet here on Parchmunk. We have 1,287 followers. This week I am going to clean that up, get a lot of those listings out of there. And then we'll go from there.

My sales on My goodness is Parkmark is not my only place to sell stuff Because they're only sold One item Oh my goodness me Let's go to my RSS feed Yes, they had more downloads

But they're not showing where they're coming from So I'm kind of confused I had many days where this Multiple downloads would show I'm used to 1 or 2 or 0 But lately we've been doing much better We had 11 yesterday See, that's what I mean.

It's a lot for me. 249 in the last 30 days. I've never had that mean. I'm up 379% compared to when I first started this, which has not been quite a year. 1,526. And it only shows, oh, India. So we have a new country.

Delhi, India, Miami, Chicago, of Victoria, all in the United States, and then Toronto, Canada. it's my messaging bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go it's always cool let's check them we're monetize that you guys know the big bucks we're making here on our channel 44 cents so we're going to a couple more cents now uh i have an available balance of seven cents now but you know it may not seem like nothing because it basically it is but still something right i can say that i got i got paid doing a podcast It doesn't necessarily mean how much I got paid, but I get me sick.

And with that mine, let's go YouTube. My other flying high, but no reaps of the rewards for all the hard work. YouTube. Actually, my things keep going down now. I'm at $46.89. sense. So my dummy I did yesterday just left him just sitting there looking at you. I had 279 views live stream. We still got some promotions going on and that's it. So I've got 1.2 million views still. 9.6k hours watched. My numbers are 100,000, 3,000.

And the big number is the, so it's $103,555.55. So it's the 555 that's going down. I think it was up to six-something. I've lost a lot of subscribers. Because we're not doing any more subscribing. It's just waste my money. I really put a lot of money into this. It's just flopped on me.

But you can only do you, as I always say. And then whatever that is, you just, when you do the best you can with it. still going to continue to do as many videos and stuff as I do, creative, whatever I can come up with, but I'm just not going to come more. I've got to set saving money. I'm running out of time. Things are changing on her really quickly. And my mother's been feeling pretty good, but she's sleeping a lot more now.

So she's only up for a few hours now. So I have to really get myself positioned for any major changes. Hopefully nothing will happen for many years, but we did survive COVID, which was. which is a miracle that I survived and I don't know how my mother survived it. I was seller-level performance data. All right, so it's real.

So I only had two people that I could click on as new subscribers. And I always send to all my buyers to ask questions to my YouTube. So that's what I use it mostly for. I may go back and forth from YouTube to eBay. Either way, so I can't make money actually on YouTube, but sometimes I can bring

people to my eBay to make money there. So something. All right, speaking to eBay, let's get my morning really going here. So when everything happens. You know, this is a whole bunch of stuff yesterday. I keep doing that. I'm over 1,500 listings, which doesn't sound like a lot, but for me, at one point, I was only 800 listings. And to get from 800,500, hundred listings takes a long time and I got to really be into it I have to do it over a few a few days so I didn't have any sales yesterday today one message got here fast and came with an extra one I gave something there something extra because I had an extra one that that was for the game Q heat sink six screw set oh I gave an extra six uh it's a plus large empty port cover but he got the white one he's got

some other logo oh it's a mega man logo for mega man uh like always good parts fast shipping thank you that was for Nintendo super fancom uh buyers got a couple of those must have fixed them because they showed me there's a screen with Mario on it so I so that's pretty cool superfancom there's two different boards superfancom this was the CPU dash gpm dash o2 it's the long board it's all one piece then this is this the other board has two pieces connected by a cable so everyone wants the one that's this one all right so it's it. So all my work yesterday, nothing really paid off. That's a written message. Secondary payment. Hello, thanks for you, you guess, we reflected with our engineer. You know, the plan

this time being, oh, I was asking about this thing I'm getting in, but you can keep focus on our thanks a lot yeah do okay I'll give him I'll send him a link to this it's just a live I didn't do a regular video I just did my live for my my I was it yesterday I see commercial whole time when I look here. I never get any. All right. All right. This is you I get any combined shipping.

Shipping discount. This is what I want to upgrade. Cool. So we'll see that when it comes in. That's what I'm working on with my buddy zipping. All right, so we had a big, big chunk of cash went to my secondary payment. We talked about that. I was able to get an upfront loan, which really helped me out. And I was able to be a little shopping with it, which I have. But where it takes a ready sale, 29% of everything I make. so uh it's original the rest goes into my little bank account she's very well basically live ebay save by ebay sale had a couple good bigger sales that helped me out

you know i don't know i don't have any right now but we're gonna keep i want to build up to two thousand our listings that's my goal um when i quit shipping or whatever refunded shipping over cool so yeah so we had no sales you know like no messages no activity so pretty cool I just have take a break I usually don't but I'm going to really so let's send my listings now I have and I spent a whole day just plugging away it stuff lots bigger stuff too I'm selling small computers and things that I have. It's a lot more of that stuff. I've been through it all, so it's kind of I've been there, done that. I don't need all. I can't afford to be a collector, so I'm not

collecting. I mostly wanted everything that I've gotten as a, just so I can see it, and then then we've re-list it. So the number of listings I have now are 1,520. No one time to get that out. You're going to keep bulking that up down. little parts and bigger things too a couple things that just broke it down to all kinds of parts people want everyone need something different so that's why I do it doesn't happen right away and may not happen for a while everything I do is long term and so you just put everything up and that's it you just let it run and eventually someone will come along or they'll ask if I have they'll see some of the parts listed for something

and they'll be like hey let's see you guys this listed you have this i did find my second disk drive in my um cdi 910 so i'm going to get that listed and i'm going to pull the other one all apart i'm done with that too so we're going to pull that one apart and sell all those parts do that one i know worked all right everyone so that's it so that's what we got going on pretty cool stuff all right So enjoy the Tuesday, not quite the mid-work week, but we'll get there. And I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye, bye.
