Surely you should have a business eBay account? As you’re buying the items with the intention of reselling them and not for personal use. The moment you make that decision of intent, you should be declaring yourself as a business to HMRC. Not doing so, and plastering it all over TH-cam is just asking for the taxman to come knocking at your door.
@@mikejm79 The videos are purely for entertainment purposes and taxes are done differently all over the globe, which is why I’m reluctant to update it. Tax brackets change depending on how much income you make in the UK and until the end of the tax year it’s difficult to predict how much tax is due to be paid. I’ll make a note on the spreadsheet so people can see that the figures don’t include taxes.
I guess for arguments sake I’ll call them “Gross Profits” instead of just “Profits”. This would indicate that I still have fees to pay on the profit after fixing etc.
For stickers, try some orange oil (sold as goo gone, DeSolve it....) and plastic razor blades, let the oil sit on the label for a few minutes and it will likely slid off.
Fantastic fix! Love your videos - it's fabulous to see broken things getting fixed. Have to say I'm jealous of the gear you have for the chip removal/replacement!
Nice one Joey. One's that haven't been interfered with from eBay are a rare find. As a full time eBay seller I get all my consoles and broken electronics from car boot sales. Have you ever been to one to have a look? You can't guarantee they're broken but if the seller says it's fully working you can bet when you get it home it's not.
That was really good score. For some reason I never can find honest sellers... Whenever I buy "faulty", "for parts" or "not tested" stuff it's always a disaster. One of the worst purchases was an _unopened_ switch that had "damaged charging port". And indeed - it had damaged charging port but was also missing m92 and most of the pads around it ;) Looked pretty much like somebody had taken pliers and took the chip off the board... But that's not all - screen flex cable was damaged beyond repair as well. But yeah - "unopened" 😅
Thanks for the video, it's quite interesting to see how this kind of thing can go (the failures are just as interesting BTW). I'm kind of amazed that you actually find these things on ebay. I'd love to give something like this a go -- I have the tools -- but the listings just don't seem to exist here 😕 Perhaps there's a bigger market for broken electronics there. I suspect that in Canada (and I think the US also) people are more apt to toss out things like this when they break. People just don't even realize that repair is possible.
Hey Joey, Get a can of ZiPPo lighter fuel. Perfect for removing that sticky label residue. Local news stores should sell it. and yes it is safe to use on plastic lcd screens. 👍😁
when you started doing switches, you always ripped the pads behind the usb c port, its amazing how good you have become, you did a very nice and clean job fixing them. Good job Joey
I'll always add postage on top of the "sell for" price, so that's covered. Tax could be added, but if I'm being completely honest there are so many factors when it comes to tax that it would never be correct!
I'm curious, do you sell anywhere other than Ebay? Also for those Sticky labels I highly recommend De-Solv-It Stcky Stuff Remover, that stuff works wonders at removing stuck labels!
Great to see some descent switches on ebay. I've just had to change 15 pads on a switch it is working now though surprisingly. Good to see your having some luck with these
@@JoeyDoesTech I'm not going to lie it took a while but got there in the end. I find putting the pads on ok but it's when I tin them after solder mask some of them move I struggle with that a bit takes a few attempts as I'm sure you will know :)
Hope you make a video at some point giving us a talk on your soldering and repair journey, About 2 years ago you were just getting into micro soldering and have progressed nicely, Would be interested to know if you are now fully Qualified/Still working on becoming a qualified electrical engineer. How you got started with Rocket Repairs etc. Really curious as i've seen a good amount of your videos and no mention of anything related, keep up the good work Joey.
My switch had "No Power" issue 3-4 times .. mainly because i forget to use it and it runs out of charge.. Somehow the whole console seems to lock up. So there is a way to force reset the switch that i have to use and then charge for 2 hours .. and after that it works fine.
WD40 is fantastic at removing labels. Drop a bit on spread it with your finger over the label and leave for a few mins. Obviously do a patch test first to make sure it won’t damage any plastics.
I don't know if you'll see this comment but, the best thing to remove stickers if it leaves a lot of stickyness is to use Zippo gas or like any kinda gas
Never ever put this stickers on your screens.. it's bad enough to use those because as we all saw they are a nightmare to remove but IPA is a really good friend here. Great job and as always thank you for the good entertainment.
One suggestion for the spreadsheet: Track the time you spend on these fixes. Like, time you take to find it on ebay, buy it, process it and then fixing it. I know that it takes longer because you are also filming the process, but it could give an estimate on how much you are making (or losing) per hour of work.
I like the idea but it would never be an accurate representation, and I would always be guessing how long it would take because of filming. Great idea though!
How many times will that happen? Ebay is like a roulette wheel. Im starting with older consoles just to get my soldering and fault finding skills up before buying more expensive modern consoles. Fixed 2 nintendo 64, game cube and snes. Got 60 older controllers to repair too from ps, dreamcast. Snes etc etc etc. spent a lot building up workshop though. Other half aint a clue how much ive spent so far🤣
@@JoeyDoesTech I gathered but then that isn't profit. If they charged you say £5 postage for the two together and you end up paying £5 each then Sally says you have earned £5 more than you have.
What software are you using there joey? Does it auto calculate everything or did you have to set it up? Looks like Excel but I could be wrong. I definitely need that as I do it on manually on a notepad on my phone.
I sell on eBay there was a drought of 80% off fees promotions, I opened a second eBay account and got the promo so realised not every seller gets the same offer every time! Moral of the story have a second seller account!
Yeah, but did you sell them for that? Always amazing how stuff that's easily fixed is just junked. NB £25 for a joystick? What a rip off these consoles are. Why doesn't it come with the damn things in the first place?
You have to remember that something that is "easily fixed" to someone is EXTREMELY difficult to someone else without the skill or tools. Yeah I believe brand new sets are £50 or so for joycons unfortunately. If you buy a Nintendo Switch new, you will get joycons with it :)
Bro I bought one xbox one s from OLX but there is no power supply 😭and harddisk can you please give me one xbox one s adaptor or can I use ATX power supply for xbox one s please help me bro
why are u always afraid of parental controls enabled? its just typing in serial number and service number at the Nintendo site. ull get immediately a mail with the master key. dont understand why u all always be afraid of this
Sometimes we get lucky cause I bought a no power switch for parts on eBay and it ended up needing the backlight cable to be reseated and screen turned on
Just to save some confusion, the eBay fees at the end are at a reduced rate of 80% as that's the only time I sell on eBay 😊😊 Thanks for watching!
I've put a link to some sticky stuff remover from screw fix in my comment below, I haven't tried it myself but the reviews look great

Way to go joey was amazing seeing you work. Hope the family is doing great and the new job is going well you deserve it.
Thankyou bud! Hope everything is well with yourself and family :)
Great job you should get in contact with the seller for a steady supply of faulty items. Would be beneficial for both of you.
This would be amazing :)
Excellent video, and really liked the profit/loss part
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback :)
Think you need to save that seller on eBay and use them again. Great video Joey, very encouraging when I see you getting some well-deserved wins.
Love the enthusiasm and reality of it
great video joey lol. finally caught a break
Dude amazing job again !!! Please don't stop.
Love watching those switches get brought back to life. They seem less troublesome than Xbox/PS to troubleshoot as well.
For stickers, try some orange oil (sold as goo gone, DeSolve it....) and plastic razor blades, let the oil sit on the label for a few minutes and it will likely slid off.
Fantastic! Great video.😁
Your editing is very smooth. great video. I enjoyed it.
Fantastic fix! Love your videos - it's fabulous to see broken things getting fixed. Have to say I'm jealous of the gear you have for the chip removal/replacement!

Wow positive video all around Joey, enjoy the good feeling of 3 out of 3 and mcdonalds, it does not get any better then this 🥳

I love it as a hobby! You have to get lucky most times, and be there when the item is listed.
Entertaining video as always 👍👍
Great work Joey. You've had that atten for a while, would love to see a review and what you think over the time you've used it.
Ahh this isn't a bad idea Blue!
Blue painters tape is best for writing notes without leaving residue.
buy a can of label remover to get all stickers off cleanly
Hey Joey,
Get a can of ZiPPo lighter fuel. Perfect for removing that sticky label residue.
Local news stores should sell it.
and yes it is safe to use on plastic lcd screens. 👍😁
Ahh great to know bud, thankyou!

Thankyou pal :) I still have nightmares of those days...
The switch curse has been lifted!
Joey, you were due a win. Nice easy fix, nice one.
6:30 got me burst out laughing 😂😂😂😂
Bingo good job !
Great work! Question though on spreadsheet, what about VAT and cost to post?
I'll always add postage on top of the "sell for" price, so that's covered. Tax could be added, but if I'm being completely honest there are so many factors when it comes to tax that it would never be correct!
verryyyy naaaiiisss. where do you buy parts/chips? do you use donor boards often?
Winner winner chicken dinner. As there is both a 1 and an i on the usb chip, I'm pretty sure its a pi3usb not a p13usb, sorry ocd ;)
Knew the second switch was going to work because you had it fully assembled when you went to test it 🤣
I'm curious, do you sell anywhere other than Ebay? Also for those Sticky labels I highly recommend De-Solv-It Stcky Stuff Remover, that stuff works wonders at removing stuck labels!
I'm looking to open my own online store and link the videos to the items. Stay tuned! Thanks for the heads up :)

At 2:46 when you removed the shield you could clearly see the battery was disconnected, there was no need to change that chip.
Lol I see what you're saying, but if you look just a TINY bit before that, I was the one who unplugged the battery before I showed you on camera :)

Trying. To. Fix. Faulty ltems. From. EBAY. And. Make. a. Profit
Yet another great repair. Any chance of a copy of sally as an rubbish on excel
I know this is an old video but look into undue sticker remover, just make sure to get the right one as some is not as good as the good one

Thinking this way, he should also add the profit from video views on YT....

Where do you buy the M92 chips? Do you have a link for me?

Yep it's a tough game to play! Also risky :)
I watched enough of your videos to buy my first broken xbox and im gonna try to see if i can fix it!
I wish you the best of luck!
Sally needs updating to take off postage too, especially since eBay also take a chunk of that....
The prices are excluding postage fees :)
@@JoeyDoesTech I gathered but then that isn't profit.

Ah this is great to know! Thanks :)
Upload more please 🙏
how can i learn how to do this? where is the best place to start?
Great video. Although the eBay fees seems wrong. I sold a GPU for 270 and eBay took £40ish in fees.
I always sell with 80% off the fees when eBay put that offer out :) I'll make sure to put that in the tab so people are aware!
@@JoeyDoesTech Ah that makes sense. Wish I bloody done that haha. Thanks mate ☺️
Yeah, but did you sell them for that?
Always amazing how stuff that's easily fixed is just junked.
NB £25 for a joystick? What a rip off these consoles are. Why doesn't it come with the damn things in the first place?
You have to remember that something that is "easily fixed" to someone is EXTREMELY difficult to someone else without the skill or tools. Yeah I believe brand new sets are £50 or so for joycons unfortunately.

Hi, do you have a link for your eBay account, I would prefer to buy from a trusted repairman than someone I don not know. Love the vids.
Hey there! I'm looking to setup my own store soon, and then link the items to the videos :) Stay tuned!
I hate stickers,magnets,magic erasers
Man you should try to fix different types of electronics not just consoles. Just an advice
Honestly I would love to, I'm still just learning :)
@@JoeyDoesTech i see.. great videos keep it up.. we would love to learn with you at the same time even if it is a no fix.
Goo Gone or Goof Off, american products. Are just what you want for sticky residue.

McDonalds... Yikes
=[
The seller might not have been inside the switches but doesn’t deserve a huge thumbs up. Those stickers were so unnecessary
why are u always afraid of parental controls enabled? its just typing in serial number and service number at the Nintendo site. ull get immediately a mail with the master key. dont understand why u all always be afraid of this
I personally don't have a Nintendo Switch that is registered online, so always have to speak to someone to get the code for me lol
@@JoeyDoesTech u only Need a Nintendo Account thats all. dont need a registered Switch
nintendo Switch ❤❤❤
1 /bad m92 that doesnt indicate any short around it
2/bad charging port ( that make some filters give false diagnostic)
Everybody likes a virgin console
hey Joey can l send you something that you can display your name on?
Hey there! I've just stopped my PO box unfortunately! Thankyou for the offer though 😊
First
Sometimes we get lucky cause I bought a no power switch for parts on eBay and it ended up needing the backlight cable to be reseated and screen turned on
