HelpfulMilk (@HelpfulMilk546) reported@AmourageCapital @xbtforever Nothing really. I’d guess they continue raising their ownership in eBay or issue a tender offer. Some people have spectated they buy back shares but I doubt it. Good point that they haven’t been correlated! I tend to think solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump is correlated to Roaring Kitty and that he will come back when there’s a solid reason like gmeXebay deal. I could envision a scenario where the deal is half stock for eBay and the deal currency of gme shares creates some sort of opportunity. All spectulation though

Brian Braggs (@TeamTradeology) reported$GME $EBAY GameStop can bypass or dismantle eBay's poison pill by employing specific, aggressive corporate governance strategies. A poison pill (shareholder rights plan) does not completely stop a takeover; it simply forces the bidder to negotiate with the board or take the battle directly to the shareholders. To push the acquisition through, GameStop and CEO Ryan Cohen can use three primary legal and financial avenues. 1. Launch a Proxy Contest to Replace the Board •The Strategy: GameStop can nominate its own slate of directors for eBay's next annual meeting. •The Mechanism: If eBay shareholders elect GameStop's nominees, the new board can vote to redeem (cancel) the poison pill. •The Outcome: Once the new board removes the pill, GameStop can safely execute its $125-per-share tender offer without triggering severe dilution. 2. File a Lawsuit Challenging the Pill •The Strategy: GameStop can sue the eBay board in court (typically Delaware Chancery Court). •The Argument: GameStop would argue that the board is breaching its fiduciary duties by using the pill to block a premium offer solely to entrench themselves. •The Outcome: If the court finds the eBay board's defense disproportionate, a judge can order the board to pull down the pill, forcing them to let shareholders vote on the deal. 3. Condition the Tender Offer on Board Approval •The Strategy: GameStop can launch a public tender offer directly to eBay shareholders but add a "minimum tender condition." •The Mechanism: GameStop states it will only buy the shares if a supermajority (e.g., 70% or 80%) of eBay shareholders agree to sell, and the eBay board removes the pill. •The Pressure: If the vast majority of eBay investors tender their shares, the extreme pressure usually forces the board to dismantle the pill and negotiate, fearing massive shareholder lawsuits if they refuse. The Underlying Fuel: The July 7 Vote To make any of these strategies credible, GameStop must pass its own July 7, 2026 proposals. Increasing its authorized shares to 2.5 billion gives GameStop the financial ammunition to buy a massive stake or offer an overwhelmingly attractive stock-and-cash deal that eBay shareholders cannot ignore.

Notions (@GoodIDeaDudes) reported@NymFrance If I was an American I’d be buying up a bunch of used iPhones ready to sell on eBay to people in the U.K in case it’s locked down on a device level.

FrankVoiceIsles (@VoiceIslanderFn) reportedJust 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.

bollockstothis (@laurast51362949) reported@marklindores @CotswoldLadyB @thewhitecompany People who know what a hassle it is when things arrive broken. You do it with eBay and vinted as well because people send empty boxes or wrong items.

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reported$EBAY DID NOT ANNOUNCE THE FINAL VOTE COUNT. They are still counting and results will be released in an 8K within 4 business days. $GME and its warrants are up sharply post-meeting. At the same time, a Federal Judge has reopened the harassment campaign lawsuit against eBay’s board and management. It looks like eBay’s in trouble…..

Raineꪆ𓏲🍎Mark Grayson’s lawyer (@duckseeksducks) reportedThere is literally one eBay listing for the issue but I’m not even sure if it’s a real listing or if it’s lying to me. Either way it’s sealed and I’m not buying it so..I emailed a few websites so we’ll see what happens.

Scott Sleepy (@scott_sleepy) reportedRunning the numbers with Grok, GameStop is over-leveraged buying eBay. Hear me out - if they acquired Chewy now, this gets them the free cash flow needed to support that loan while Ryan turns around eBay. Structured correctly, this allows them to hit the $32 Warrant strike price. Chewy is in an extremely advantageous position for this right now. Their stock price is a steal, they are largely done with the major CapEx for growing their distribution centers (which can be further leveraged in NewCo), and have strong and growing Free Cash Flow. The price is right. The cash flow supports the loan. Ryan can focus on eBay when he gets it. And he can manage/improve Chewy in his sleep. CRITICALLY - $GME will be volatile after an acquisition like this, and Ryan can issue an ATM into a squeeze. The big squeeze comes later. A small one in the interim can, with an ATM, basically let Ryan buy Chewy for free.

Aisza_ (@ohtinybaby) reported@Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

EuropeMac (@EuropeMacApps) reported@gmoneyNFT the issue Mac studio with more 96gb of ram isn't available anymore so you have to wait , but it is smart move (don't spend 40k on 512gb Mac Studio on eBay)

BigV12 (@VLubz12) reported@WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser The problem with ebay is many people do not point out flaws anymore, I do. Like someone above mentioned, I put in description anything I see. Gives the buyer no angle to return after the fact, and list as Exc. And I only put NM-Mint if I see no flaws at all when I review it.

pancake_akechi6 (@_monoprix) reported@xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from individual japanese resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay

iam16bit (@iam16bit) reported@XRPee1983 I did with a copy of Super Mario Sunshine. The listing claimed it had no scratches & was tested. That was a load of bull because the damn thing was so scratched to hell that neither the Gamecube or Wii could read it. Ebay forced the seller to accept the return & issue a refund.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reported🚨 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.

Duane the Bathtub (@BOHICAGOOGLEIT) reported@iqrafatma1278 Funny, If They Are 2026 Quarters... The Roll is Worth $25.00. If, The Roll is The Error Roll, it's worth $100.00 or More on eBay. Check it Out.

Miserable🧈Fly (@MiserableFly4) reported@TrevorIRL I tend to think he’s likely waiting on the eBay target to fall by the way side or become far more attractive is it correlates with the boarder market. I don’t believe GME can get pushed down much further because collateral will become scarce for the shorts. Going to be fun to watch. Hoping nothing happens for another 4 more days, waiting for a large transfer.😬

Bob (@109stitches) reported@glenn_tunes He developed Space X with private equity. Is the first to utilize reusable rockets. He launched a worldwide satellite Internet company which will soon be a cellular company also. He started Tesla and it's now the #1 selling car in America. He's currently working on putting solar powered AI servers in space which solves the massive amount of electricity and heat dissipation issues. Since the AI satellites are part of Space X no one will be able to do it cheaper. He started eBay with 1 partner which funded everything that came after it. And less than 4 years ago he overpaid $44 billion for Twitter and it looked like the golden child ran into his first brick wall. . . failure. Twitter's value was estimated at close to $25 billion at that time. Currently X is valued just short of the $44 billion he paid for it in just 4 years. I read a short news story on investing by a wall street analyst. He said investing and making money is easy. Just buy stock in anything Elon starts or has invested in.

…. (@allthingsnone) reported@burntpnutclips @TCGPokePlug @eBay Yeah I sell a lot on eBay it’s not terrible … more hate towards the vendors who wanna give 80 the turn around and sell for 100% to the next guy. Depends on the card obviously

Ronnie Boi (@parryopolis) reported@harrrmy Let your standards down a little. Go with Zimbabwe dollars instead of USD. I think you can get a couple mil Zimbabwe for about $20 USD on eBay
