morning everyone it is now 515 actually 519 today is December the 24th 2025 and it's
Christmas Eve so it's pretty exciting for us here we're just I'm just thankful that
this Christmas we're all together my mother's back healthy again I'm healthy and you
have a nice little home here all my little buddies so so it's Christmas Eve we don't
don't do much but we had some decorations up and I got a card for my mother and a bunch of
pictures I had been taken I always go to CVS and print out a bunch of them put it in a card
my dogs and them her with the dogs and stuff like that this is the first year we did not go
to see Santa because we were both really sick so usually we have a Santa photo from from this
year with the dogs we always bring over to Agway here in West Delhi but this is the first
year we didn't go I don't know hopefully
Hopefully we'll get another year in ourselves, we'll say.
But like you said, for me, as I always say, things are changing here.
COVID came, and I thought things really got accelerated.
I didn't want to show what was going to happen, but luckily we survived that.
So we'll go on to the next day.
Hopefully we'll get to the summer and all that, and things will keep going on in the same schedule.
So yesterday, we did a lot of stuff yesterday.
I worked on my Amiga 1000
and I end up tearing it down
and at the same time I also listed a bunch of parts
and I literally sold a couple of little parts off
from Amiga 1000 within like minutes of listing.
I have a second one coming in.
It might be in today.
So we'll see what else we sold off the Amiga 1000
is I invested in something else.
It wasn't going to do it but that's why
I started to sell.
I'm going to sell lots of stuff off my Amiga 500
because I have something even better coming in.
It's pretty cool.
It's an Amiga 2000.
I wasn't going to step up, but I decided to step up.
And this one's got all kinds of extra fun stuff to it.
So we're going to all three of these amegas
to two, my both 1,000s.
My Mega 500, I'm going to sell all that stuff.
Most likely I'm going to break it all down because those parts are selling
really fast, so that's pretty cool.
And those are just to the outer, like the case and the cover.
the front cover things like that so we'll say i didn't even sell the mother tried to sell the motherboard
yet so pretty much that's what we're going to do all right and i think that was the only other
video i did yesterday i sat down played a little death stranding too really into it i'm still just right
in the beginning of australia and i'm building all my roads it takes a while so i've only got one
road build the original road i'm going to build them all and just take my time and work my way up
that's what i did what's the first one it's the funest part really all right so let's see what's going
on this morning here for christmas eve everyone's winding down or going to wherever they got to
go for everyone does it safely for us like you said i don't go anywhere i'm home everything i
need is right here so that's pretty awesome so we have some football going on nothing uh
25th
It says a few games this weekend
Looking through the news
Past the doom and gloom
So I'll skip all that
Let's just get the business here this morning
So I can still mail stuff out today as well
So we will do that
We believe the post office is open until noon
so if I have anything we'll try to get it out for them because I'm good like that
you want me as your seller so I'm always trying to get out whatever I can as quick as I
can I had a couple of sales on Etsy yesterday nothing today I average maybe one sale a week
right now atsy my little it's not even quite the side hustle kind of almost a side
hustle or not it's definitely not a survival also
but the big anniversary is coming up
and we're going to have a big
we'll do a big
which we'll call it on it.
Podcast maybe or something.
It's a 20th anniversary of the Wii
and that's significant for me
and I always talk about it
because I can add lots of Wii stuff
to my Etsy page
and that's what we're going to do.
I'm going to take a day or so
and we're just going to add all kinds of wee things.
But 2026
just came out in 2020.
I mean in 2006 rather.
So that's pretty cool.
All right, so let me see what I was this going on here.
So let's go through my normal routine here.
Stay on point.
Most of these are really irrelevant, but it's good to look.
Parshmarket, same deal.
1,287 followers and no sales.
That's my RSSB. We had a few downloads yesterday. Pretty awesome. Let's see what we got today.
Whether here is no snow, so we have no white Christmas. Our percentage of white Christmas now in our Rhode Island area is in the last 20 years is like 17% that we would have a white Christmas. So in the in the 60s, late 60s, it was like 63%. So it's going significantly down.
all right so download g s today we edit it awesome 273 in the last 30 days my old time is 1,563
it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean wherever it may go always fun to see
what are we get here we have the united states it's a weird name it means a y p wapista i don't
how to say that uh ukbakistan and uh tiffin tiffin in the united states so just a few but maybe more
than one download per i'm not sure i monetize changed i actually now it gives put 15 cents
in my pay-up account so i got my first automatic commitment 15 cents although it said i had 45
and now i'm down to six cents that's weird i lost uh yeah was that was that
almost 45 cents
I wonder where the estimate went
and then all of a sudden
it said I was getting a withdrawal
15 cents
so someone took the rest of my change ma'am
took the penit of your pocket
it's up and bad
so now my estimated balance is at 6 cents
so I'm starting over now
I wonder the other change one
uh that's a bummer
I almost wanted to get to a dollar
at this rate but now I went negative
interesting all right so let's get to some YouTube action here I did one video
yesterday I think there's one one hundred thousand three thousand three thousand
423 so the key is the 423 that's the highest I was was at 600 six hundred six like
55 or something I've lost subscribers because I'm no longer promoting for subscribers
it really wasn't getting anywhere so now I only promote reviews so my views
are up 1.4 million which is a lot watch hours 11,000.3k
But my revenue revenue still the same deal, $36.76.
However, I did get paid this month, $129.
But I'm negative like $3,000.
But we keep promoting it.
Just the little ones I'm doing now.
My three promotions that I've been doing, $32,000, $31k, and $23.8K.
And we had $3.3K yesterday in my immediate $1,000 tear down.
I only did a really small little promotion, like a little, little,
$10 squirt promotion on that so that's all you can afford I can do if I do a little squirt
promotions I'll at least get a lot lots of use so just keep trying to keep
plugging away at it anything it's just again I just chronicling my life
pretty much well I always have all this pretty awesome and as far as I know
I'll keep I will keep doing this until can't do it anymore
I have my, I still have a strike against my account because I was doing it overnight.
And somehow I showed nudity by accident.
So that goes off.
My strike ends on the 30th.
Aspires December 29th.
So a few more days my strike will go off.
May do something overnight again, but we'll do it completely different.
Just kind of overdid it and didn't realize I was showing nudity by accident.
it wasn't wasn't the plan all right so let's get to business eBay we had I decided to
start selling parts right away from the Amiga 1000 and it definitely worked out so
let's check out feedback we're up this 11,603 now and a lot of it's because
there's an auto eBay feedback which is I've gotten 300 of those just really and it's all good
positive so it really racks up my screw just described shift quickly those are for
Nintendo GameCube lots of those these screws are just what I need for my GameCube 10 for 10
so that's pretty cool I didn't came in in good condition cereal port something that
kind of had somebody opened up and did not receive for something that shipped
out so I'm not sure we're gonna check on that in a minute there's always like I
go to eBay it's when my morning really starts things going in all different
directions all at once luckily I can multitask really good so all right
let's see my orders first oh I sold another Xbox 1 1540 motherboard cool I sold
N64 cartridge slot
And we sold
PS4
2215
Oh, power supply
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, there was a little
ding in the clip
In the plug area
So, three sales there
Let's see we have
Muga $30
$30.
Yeah, I'll do a half box.
I'll skip that.
Let's see what we go.
$24 pro.
I think a few dollars from what I have it was today?
Sure.
You know, just had a really good flash sale.
good flash sale the other day
40% off. Nobody really
I mean I sold a couple things from it
but I'll do it again but not quite
quite a bit. I'm going to get more stuff listed.
I'm going to check on my thing here.
Apple.
That I would take though.
We'll sell one Apple.
That I'll take.
I've got lots of buildings.
to pay yeah so I ordered something it's an Amiga 2000 so when it comes in
we'll play around with it it was another Amiga 2000 up for auction I decided
not to go with that one somebody would get that the one I got has a little bit
more stuck to it but it was a lot more expensive
So we'll look at that when it comes in.
We'll prepare it.
So that's probably the one I would keep,
even though I'm not a collector because I can't afford to be.
So if I get in a picture, I'd have to resell that when it comes in.
So I had four orders now.
But we're going to keep tearing apart both my Amiga 1,000.
I want to see what my other one is coming in.
It's supposed to be in.
It might be in today.
that would be awesome because I don't know anything about the other one that says untested
so I haven't sold the motherboard powerboard or anything off this meega 500 yet
because I want to see what this one is and oh yeah we did a comparison of the
we showed the two engravings yesterday to a short video just pretty I thought
that was pretty fascinating the Apple 512 K
M-O-O-O-1-E inside as all the engravings like Steve Jobs and all that.
And back in 1982, they did that as some kind of a special thing.
And then when I opened up my Omega 1000, inside is the same kind of concept.
All the original developers had signatures on it.
So I sold that, I'm selling that top cover, but pretty pricey.
But it's cool, two different worlds that would, in the same kind of concept.
that was marked as 1985.
One of them had a little paw print on it on the engraving.
It's really cool.
That'd be a great for something to art, throw it up on the wall.
I still have one of the other Apple's listed, too.
I sold one.
So, pretty fun.
That's why you always go inside stuff,
because that's what you find all the early.
And I also listed the Spirit Technologies Board.
I would have not,
if I wouldn't have upgraded to a different movie,
go but now that I'm I really don't need this one we're going to sell that
board and verily it's pricey too I don't know how much it's worth but I got it up
there because I think it's worth a lot oh let's look at one more thing so I give
me four orders remember I have a second loan so I'm chopping away at that cool
so we got some good sales so my chop my loan I've already
knocked off a whole bunch of it's true Libris what they do is they take 29% of
your sales works out fine I just don't just don't see that extra 29% and it
helped me get started I use it as capital to get me a bunch of stuff including
that whole big lot stuff I got local and hopefully by the time he's ready
I'll be able to get another load so I'm hoping so
all right so let me
oh
purchase history
so he said he was going to drop off
my next amiga so this is
an amiga 2000 slash
2,500
and this was a guy who knows how to do stuff
and it already left
so it's already dropped off
and left it's coming from Texas
it's pretty awesome
it has
it has a go tech on it
and it's all fun ready to go so it's some printer cartridges i'm waiting on
i invest in a little laptop to check another laptop out still way out the other one with some
not still in the wakefield so someone who got stuck in weekfield so i probably won't get that
till after probably won't get that until friday but this will keep picking apart at it but i'm not
going to do anything else more until the other one comes in and we can test that one
if it doesn't work i swap parts you know what i mean you can figure out what's going on i don't want
to touch any of the working parts that that's the top board to it besides that other board the
extra the extra spirit technology board for the omega 1000 is it aftermarket it actually has two
leg clips you had a clip to certain legs on the original motherboard wasn't really paying attention where they
were when I took that off. So it comes to two leg clips. So that's using something normal
back then. If you've got a mod of some kind, you had to clip it out, clip it on to a certain
leg, get it to work. So that's listed to the spare technologies. Because of course I need
the monies. Again, I can't afford to be a collector, but I do the opposite to reverse. I'm a
reverse collector. I take collectible things and I break them down on some parts. That's what I've
been doing and it actually works out well. So most collectors would cringe for what I do. But
everyone needs a part. So there is a collector out there that needed the parts off of the
Amiga 500 that I sold already. And will I make my money back what I pay for these Amiga 500
to break it down? Might. Maybe. It'll be close.
because they were really pricey, both were really crazy.
But some parts you didn't sell really quick.
And, of course, I had a keyboard and the mouse too.
So that's a bonus.
But this one at Mega 500 had that spirit technology,
so that should sell,
and I should be able to at least make my money back maybe
once I sell the motherboard, powerboard,
and if I sold the keyboard and everything,
I would probably make a little bit more.
Because usually some parts is always more than an original, and than a whole one, usual.
But it's over time, no.
It doesn't happen right away.
I have things that took me years to get back money for.
But it's still doable.
All right, everyone.
So that's it.
So you have a good, safe Christmas Eve.
Do any kind of special things the night before Christmas?
That's pretty cool.
And if not, I'll talk to you a Christmas morning.
All right, after Santa goes by, and then I'll wait until he comes and goes.
And then I will get up.
All right.
You guys have a nice holiday.
All right, bye.
