  From 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins have become stagnant at best, and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

  @caseydoesthingx @CardPurchaser @PSAcard The Value Plus grading level didn’t shut down when buying a raw card through eBay. Most likely because of contractual agreements.

  @HeroAssange 1. Dump eBay 2. Buyback GME with eBay proceeds 3. Buy 14.9% of eBay when it dip hard 4. Reveal other key players who now also hold sizeable positions in eBay 5. GME = Up // eBay = Down // Acquisition is much cheaper for lower share price

  @RockSol1d_ Sorry to hear that. I had this exact problem recently. If you’re lucky you can buy/swap an individual solenoid. If not you might need to buy the whole module. Check out aftermarket parts on eBay. They’re very reasonable, and either swap it yourself or get the mechanic to do the install.

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay I understand the market but anyone contributing to rediculous prices of cards/slabs or indirectly creating no MSRP is contributing to the problem of the hobby

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay 13% eBay fees is a terrible pain. But we all know this before listing. Sell with a consigner for high end and pay only 5%.

  @xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from japanese individual resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay

  Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) reported 13 minutes ago

  @ItsaMeCooper @beckettcollect There’s an operation out of China right now that duplicates the slab cases and finds cert numbers for high end cards, and puts a low quality version in their fake slab to sell on eBay. If you look up the cert it seems valid. A company I’m working with is actually working on a product to solve this issue. What will matter most is if the Centering on the cert image was the same. If that’s the case there is also a potential for it to have been a **** up rather than a downright fraud. Beckett has moved to using computer vision for centering checks recently, and as someone who has built his own home pre-grading rig, I’ll note that computer vision has a hard time with metallic edge looking cards, but especially cards where the front image layer (creature and UI) overlaps the border like this card does with its evolution information on the upper left and right of the card. That would still be no excuse and it should be reviewed carefully as the lack of image on the grading report is sus. But, mistakes, external fraud, or single rogue employee are all more likely than large sinister operation.

  @bleeder1999 i buy all my dvds from ebay and i’ve never had any problems!! the seller has to list the condition of the dvd and if they’re lying ebay will give you a refund. just make sure the dvds are for your region, and if subtitles are important to you make sure the dvd has them

  @glacierptrading @Vfwbartender11 Why do you pick 30? Why not 60? 80? Would you be happy at $30? Prob not GME goes up and down. We all wanted a short squeeze. Ryan Cohen wants to buy eBay. These two things can work together, but it takes longer to capture the squeeze & get eBay. You either like the plan or sell.

  🚨 Breaking News : eBay Proposal 4 May Have Passed eBay's annual shareholder meeting is over, and reports are circulating that Proposal 4 received enough votes to pass. If confirmed, shareholders would only need to own 10% of eBay to call a special shareholder meeting, down from the current 20% requirement. Why does that matter? GameStop reportedly owns nearly 10% of eBay. That could give Ryan Cohen and GameStop a way to bring their acquisition ideas directly to eBay shareholders through a special meeting. ⏰ Official voting results have not been released yet. eBay has said the results could be announced as soon as tomorrow. $GME $EBAY

  Pierre Omidyar built eBay over a 3 day holiday weekend while working a full time job. He was just testing a theory. He was born in Paris in 1967 to Iranian immigrant parents who had come to France for graduate school. His family moved to the United States when he was 6, settling in Washington DC where his father completed a medical residency. He grew up in Maryland, became obsessed with computers in high school, and spent as much time as possible on his school's single computer terminal. He studied computer science at Tufts, graduated in 1988, and spent the early 1990s working at Bay Area tech companies while building side projects in the evenings. He was deeply curious about how people interacted economically with each other through technology. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995 he wrote the code for a simple online auction platform while holding a full time job. He wanted to test one idea. Could you create an efficient marketplace by letting buyers and sellers set prices together in real time? He listed a broken laser pointer himself just to see if the functionality worked. It sold for $14.83. He emailed the buyer to confirm the item was broken. The buyer wrote back to say he collected broken laser pointers. Within a year the site was generating so much traffic his internet provider made him upgrade to a business account. He renamed the platform eBay, hired a CEO to run operations, and took it public in 1998. He became a billionaire at 31, the youngest self made billionaire in American history at the time. He built one of the defining internet companies of the 20th century over a holiday weekend from his apartment in the spare hours between a full time job and the rest of his life. The market had spoken from the very first transaction.

  🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

  @thwacknicklaus This club thwarted my free golf in college. Had a course where you paid $1 and wrote your name down if you’re a member. I’d pay the buck and write down my friend’s name who had a membership. Bought this driver off eBay and roped one down the first fairway - too much attention.

  Just pulled down all of my sub $20 listings from @ebay. Sick and tired of @USPS employees stealing cards I sell. 3 of the last 7 cards I mailed never got to the destination. That coupled with all of the check stealing and scrubbing going on the standard mail service can't be trusted. Yes they were all tracked. Only certified mail from now on.

  @sneedweb I don’t understand why you’re still posting about eBay. The stock is down 20% since the offer. He doesn’t have anywhere near the cash or equity to finance this deal. The most cash he could get from the combined cashflow is like $7-8b, max. You’re watching this like it’s a damn tennis match. If eBay agreed today, he couldn’t do it, unless they gave him half the company. It’s a bluff, buddy. Stop talking about it. It’s not happening.

  I think still possible even though it broke that latest low. Hmm so if GME was going down the whole time it increased its ebay holdings, what happens if they sell and net profit? Could be why Koss was popping back up, pricing in GME selling ebay options. 🤔 KCS

  @glacierptrading Because GME cultists are angry, edge lord worshippers. I actually believe in RC. I think the comp plan is insane. But I think he has a good plan. And no, I do not believe he intends on buying eBay. I believe he is using eBay as a target to drive the share price down and create an insane squeeze dynamic. Buybacks coming.
