Thank you for all your content, you've inspired me! Pro tip if you haven't received this bit of advice; platinum versions of games (the ps3 cases that are silver) are less desirable to collectors. Any case, like platinum including the classic cases etc... fits this advice. I collect retro video games as a hobby and this is a pretty common feeling in the community :) What I am getting at is, bundle your games without differing versions of cases, either all your standard cases or all classic/platinum etc...
Please check that the VCR doesnt ruin tapes. Had one that i was ready to sell. Decided to show the kids how a VCR works and it shredded tape after tape.
Nice man. Also, on the Emerald, it looks off to me. Hard to be certain over video, but the motherboard through the back looks off, the label doesn't look shiny enough, and the no engraving scream fake.
Hey Matt, Roast dinner is the easiest dinner. Buy a pre marinated roast. The butterfly roasts are the best as they cook quicker. Cut up veggies and put in baking pan (sprinkle with salt pepper put the meat on top so the veggies cook in the meat juice. Into the oven (follow cooking instructions on meat wrapper). Aldi has good butterfly marinated chickens. Easiest dinner ever so yummy.
An easy meal that my family loves is beef stroganoff. It's basically ground or shredded beef in gravy over egg noodles with sour cream on top. Either that or spoon the beef gravy over rice with maybe steamed broccoli or sauteed mushrooms in a butter garlic sauce on the side.
Good vid mate. Ive never had a drivers license. Saved a few hundred grand because of that. Im 46. Selling thousands of shoes all carried on my bike. I do all my own mechanics and save so much every month. I save about 95% of my monthly earnings because of my lifestyle choices.
I also don't have a sense of smell and so also I'm limited in the foods I eat too because of taste / texture. For a nice meal grab a chicken roll (in a foil tray) from woolies and roast up some veggies, add gravy and a beautiful nice meal you throw all into the oven!
I'm staggered anyone would pay $150 for a VCR I have 3 of them with remotes all in working order and every time I check the comps they are around $25 to $40. I even have the original boxes and instruction manuals. I would never ship if I sold them either as there is a risk a dodgy buyer claims not working and wants me to pay return postage.
take a picture of the serial number then if you get a return record the unboxing and if the serial number doesn't match then question the return through ebay..you will get your money back
I was a shipper for years and I had my bubble wrap stored on a bracket, specially designed to hold bubble wrap ,on the wall. Keeps it off the floor and by buying by bulk, we did save money.
Hey im a toyota technician by trade, absolutely do not go back to that mechanic, I CAN NOT express that enough. You just unknowingly explained a blatant rip off by a rogue mechanic
I've got 5 DVD/VCR combos that have sat over 3 months. Last year they would have sold the same day. YMMV The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F**k is worth reading. Great video.
one tip with dvd combks..never turn themupside down..there are some parts will fall off their stems when its upside down..inlewrnt thiw the hard way...took hours to find out where they came from.
Have you heard of the shoe brand Frankies? My daughter got a never worn pair in her size for $25 - retail price $260. On the same day I got a pair of near new red Puma suede shoes for $20. Retail $140. Very surprised cos usually Adelaide op shops price stuff very high. Enjoyed this video heaps.
How often do you sell the funko pops? I got a bunch of them and they sold good at first, but I cant get any of them to go now even dropping prices 20-30%. Also, you cant always trust the number stamps on the pokemon stickers. That used to be a way to tell, but the copies started doing it too. Best bet is to get a tri-wing screwdriver and open every one of them. The real ones you will see Nintendo branded parts everywhere. The fakes will have generic looking boards and components. The connector pins will usually be a high yellow gold while the original copies due to age will have pins that are a more copper/gold look
Taco Bell Crunch wraps. Not that hard to do and for around $30 you can make 12 units. The hard one is the Nacho cheese, but I always just skip this and use tasty cheese instead. Alternatively you can do tacos instead - pretty much similar way.
Easiest way to tell is the 4 panels on the back, which should be on the top left. The context is also off. I’ve sold way too many in my time I am just good at spotting fakes now days.
@@Th3L0wK1I agree it looks fake. Sticker should be metallic and it looked to be lacking the 4 squares on the back. Could just be my screen, but yeah the sticker looked so bad. And US versions are the most faked ones out there. disgruntled octopus did a short about how to tell fake games from the GBA gen
Hey Courtney i drive a 28yr old toyota that i got for free just, Although im a fitter and fix it when it breaks down( which is rarely ........ but all cars eventually break down) Dont give up on your toyota there easy to fix and much more reliable then a European, american, or domestic cars
Hard to tell on the Pokemon Emerald. The colour looks off but that might just be it sitting in the sun too long or TH-cam not being perfectly colour accurate.
The first step is to take your leaky half running toyota to another dealership. 😂 If its missing they will throw parts at it. Starting with plugs and coils, but really it needed a timing belt.
I found a copy of Pokemon Emerald for free a few years ago, didn't realise there were counterfeits out there or how to tell. I innocently listed it not know any different and seller didn't make any contact just straight-out left me negative feedback (my first and only one) 😢
Oh no! That’s where eBay needs to offer a policy for buyers and sellers to work things out before negative feedback is immediately issued :( sorry to hear!
My little 5 lb hound, a maltese cost me ofer $10,000 american for two weeks of radiation therapy and emergency hospital stays...i say over $10,000 cos i wont look at the credit card any more to nail it down to exacty hiw much ... bills love add up...and cars are some of the biggest money pits..i buy new every 5 years not cos i want a new car but after 5 years the depreciation is minimal comparred to running a 10 year old car for 5 years...my old truck gave me three pages of fixings needed..traded it in the same day at a different place and didnt mention id just got over $4000 of needed items to be one given to me. 0:05
I think the Pokémon game is unfortunately a knock off. Amazon has millions of counterfeit copies that have made their way into the market in the US. I also check for the indented number on the label as well as the general look of the label itself.
They don't seem to be bothered by it as you said they don't know any different, my daughter used to work in childcare so sometimes there is definite plus side to it 😂
A piece of useless info…..teaching people to trade the American stock market….i used to teach them to make 10% on their investment monthly….far greater than the bank pays you…. So…..when reselling 10% is an OK profit….
I can't believe the large tracked envelopes are $8.30 each now. That's usually more expensive than what I put in it!

Parents bought a washing machine that was floor stock....wrapped in bubblewrap for delivery. Needless to say all the bubblewrap came home with me!

Hi guys from the UK.
Looks like I've picked a bad time to start my eBay journey but I'm determined to make it a success.
Great video.
Monday night dinner idea... butter chicken. Diced chicken with Pataks paste, veg and rice. Directions are on the paste bottle.
I love it!
Welcome to the audio/video niche 😊 you can do calculated shipping, just saying. And the vcr/dvd combos with hdmi are the best.
Yewww

If you went into every eBay sale thinking about dodgy sellers and possible returns no one would sell anything lol

You always do great videos it means a lot to me
Thanks so much for watching 😃
buy a screwdriver for it, open it up and look at the board. that being said most US Pokemon games found here are Knock offs
Nice, okay thanks!
Dinner - Roast chicken, mash, peas and gravy🫛🥔

As a girl, learning about how my car works has been a very valuable exercise. Just knowing the basics of an ICE can save you getting ripped off $$$.
dvd combos are a great option..I have 7 right nkw and one pair of them have a STR of 500%
Try a Stir Fry, frozen vegies, meat/chicken or tofu, Black Bean sauce from an Asian Grocer and a large pouch of rice you can whack in the Microwave 😊

What about Sheppard's pie. Easy to make and maybe something different for you? I make mine with hamburger, cream corn and mashed potatoes. Super easy.

Ooo buy one get one free on the hats. I was tempted to get the two Batman hat you have

My guess is it's a fake
open the gba carts up and it will have Nintendo on the board.
Yep! I think I will

you are lucky you see your family once a week!
Very grateful!
Last summer I found out that my mom's cousin husband has no sense of smell or taste buds, so eating is very boring to him.
To check the pokemon game for authenticity, it's probably best to unscrew it, and check the chipsets say "Nintendo" on them.
The fakes have gotten more sophisticated and have started printing Nintendo on the board
I'll do this!
So easy to change a car battery and plugs leads oil change i do everything myself
