  @soitgoeslexi tbh, this feels kind of sketchy to me. i feel like if a parent stepped in and provided an id, ebay would have no issues releasing the funds. I would be very hesitant to do this

  @GilliverJamie Yes that’s the one, if you click bids you can see eBay keep removing fake bids so the price is constantly up and down it’s a mess

  I’ve been a gamer since 1998. I don’t think I’ve EVER had this much trouble getting a physical game on or shortly after the release date. My entire life, there’s always been a standard that if you wake up early and go to your local video game store, you can get a copy (if you can get there before a line forms or they sell out). And even then, there’s copies that restock shortly thereafter. It’s been two weeks. Ya’ll should be embarrassed by the current eBay listings. Yes I saw your posts @bethesda @BethesdaStudios saying more copies are coming but this is ridiculous. September is next week and NONE of the stores or their websites have any copies.

  OP17 has not even officially launched and the Luffy Gold SP is already seeing completed sales on ebay highest: $5k mean: about $3.9k lowest: $3.1k most sales happened on the 20th and i can't determine the price sold for 2 listings (accepted best offer) will the price of this card fly from here or do you expect it to cool down after launch?

  4/ eBay tables, side hustles, and garage sellers hit this when rate cards flip mid-year. The fix is multi-carrier quotes on the real box. Not a trip to the landscaping aisle.

  Ordered a modded 3DS XL from ebay... turns out the Ribbon Cable that connects the top part with the lower part of the DS is broken. Which means in need to take the entire thing apart. But that explains why the seller didn't accept any returns... 🫠

  The reselling stack is broken into pieces by design. Closo, List Perfectly, Underpriced AI, Snappyit — none of them finish the job. Sellsmith runs listings, repricing, offers, and shipping as one agent across Mercari, Poshmark, and eBay. Live soon.

  @Joshy_Pet @TheGameVerse License isn't an issue for me its more if wanna get a game which came out a few years ago the digital store still sells it at full price let's say £60 however can get the same game off amazon or ebay for over 50% off that's the issue being forced to pay full price and not having the option to buy an disc second hand

  @GravityPimp The mercedes i have gets warped front rotors from the factory. Well known problem with factory Mercedes rotors of that style. Bought replacement ones on ebay or Amazon because I'll be damned if I spend thousands of dollars on parts I know already will fail in under 30k miles. No problems, smooth as butter.

  @wesbos @levelsio im gonna be honest its not even that flat, and the screen is still too bright in art mode and to get a real wood frame? you're gonna need to build it yourself (easy to be fair, but who wants their tv to be a wood working project), or spend another $900 to a "carpenter" on etsy who hacked up a few bead trim boards from the box store lumberyard and charges suburban housewives 20x margins for a "SOLID WOOD" product—spoilers, its young pine if you're lucky, and it shows you also can't put the box for it into the wall anymore, as they don't make a wall-rated power cord anymore, and fire rated cords go for a zillion dollars on eBay. so you're gonna have a shoebox somewhere random if you mount it on a wall its the worst TV i've ever owned was like $3k and its worse than the TV i had in college that I paid $150 for at walmart crashes constantly, needs updated all the time, logs out of all the streaming services. its painfully slow, apps take *forever* to load we had to have the 'brains' replaced within first year, just randomly died i dont regret most purchases. but i lement this tv decision

  I had to consult the Oracles (ai chatbots) to figure out the proper spell (prompt) to use in order to summon the demon (ebay customer service employee (actually quite nice)) to solve the issue Looks like everything will be resolved now. Let it be known that you CAN access a human on ebay customer support, if you're a powerful enough wizard

  @JC_colleccoast That’s pretty cool man. I never thought about using ChatGPT for research. My my son and I PC Giants, 49ers, and Braves. Overtime with ripping we just accumulated too many cards. So about three months ago I started up at Ebay store for him. Normally, I check the sold items on eBay to get an accurate listing. My problem is getting the view. Not sure why some cards have a higher viewing than others. I have some that have been on there for two months with nothing.

  @bot is a really convenient place to run routines (cron jobs). My sister needs a video editing PC so every morning @bot searches eBay for 32GB DDR5 auctions with decent CPUs under $400. Nice to have on Mac / iPhone as opposed to Hermes / Openclaw on server.

  @_bismack_ Going through all that trouble to save some money on Pokémon cards is so bizarre. If these people expended half this much energy at their day jobs they'd be millionaires lol. I get this a lot on fb marketplace but somehow have avoided it on ebay.

  The biggest problem I have with thrift stores in my area isnt the prices but rather many of the employees are compromised and corporate does nothing about it. Some resellers pay employees to take stuff directly to them or workers just keep donations to sell on eBay themselves. You just have to deal with it or stick to garage sales. Goodwills by me used to be run by nice old people and combat vets on retirement. Now they hire felons on work programs, un-hireable losers that can't get a job anyplace else and drug addicts.

  Dropshipping fake Jordans on eBay All auctions, made clear there was no receipt/authentication, usually went for $70-$100 Paid a guy named Tommy in HK $55 per pair landed when the listing ended. Sold a lot of Blackcat 3’s and at some point realized - Nike would only take down the fake colorways. The real colors almost always stayed up. I was a freshmen in college, sold a lot of shoes to the football team that yr

  BEFORE THE POP (@beforethepop) reported 55 minutes ago

  THE 90s ARE NEXT. The market has spent decades deciding what matters in vintage pop culture. Now it is paying serious money for the cards it has canonised. A 1966 Topps Batman #1 PSA 9 sold for US$131,250 in December. There is no PSA 10. A 1977 Topps Luke Skywalker #1 PSA 10 sold for US$687,500 in May. Seven months earlier, the record was $268,400. These aren't obscure cards being dragged upwards by a hot market. Batman and Star Wars are two of the largest entertainment properties ever created, and collectors have had decades to decide what their early cardboard means. The 50s, 60s and 70s have had their time to become vintage. I think the 90s are next. And the more time I spend digging through the decade, the more obvious the setup looks. The 1990s may have been the greatest decade for character IP ever. You had Mario and Zelda becoming global institutions. Sonic arrived. Pokémon arrived. Toy Story arrived. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and South Park arrived. Final Fantasy VII changed what a videogame could look and feel like. Street Fighter became a cultural phenomenon. The Simpsons went from a new animated show to one of the defining franchises on television. Thirty years later, look at what survived. Mario is bigger than ever. Pokémon is Pokémon. Sonic is selling movie tickets. Zelda is still one of Nintendo's crown jewels. Resident Evil is still releasing major games. Final Fantasy VII is still important enough to support an entire blockbuster remake project. Toy Story is still being watched by children whose parents watched the original. The Simpsons and South Park apparently intend to outlive all of us. That's an extraordinary hit rate. And the cards were made at exactly the right time. The 90s landed just before collecting became industrialised. There was no mature grading economy. No population reports. No breakers opening cases for numbered parallels. No army of collectors immediately sleeving every card of a major character because it might be worth something in thirty years. A lot of this stuff was treated exactly as intended: as kids' stuff. Japanese vending cards came out of machines. Stickers got stuck to things. Magazine inserts were removed or thrown away with the magazine. Foils went into binders. Cards went into pockets, school bags and bedroom drawers. Nobody was carefully preserving a 1995 Toy Story foil because Woody might eventually need a rookie card. Nobody was thinking about the gem rate on a 1996 Bandai Final Fantasy VII prism. Nobody was buying Japanese Zelda cards and calculating future PSA populations. They were just cards. That gives the decade something modern collectibles can never manufacture after the fact: natural scarcity created before anyone thought scarcity mattered. Then there is the buyer. 1996 is thirty years ago, which feels rude but is useful. The kid who was ten when Pokémon arrived is 40. The teenager who played Final Fantasy VII in 1997 is now somewhere around 40, probably with a mortgage and the financial capacity to make significantly worse decisions on eBay. The generation that grew up with these characters is entering the same part of life where collectors before them started paying serious money to recover pieces of their childhood. Except the underlying franchises never really went away. That is what makes the 90s so interesting to me. The nostalgia is arriving at the same time as the IP is still commercially relevant. And Pokémon has already shown us how far this can go. Pokémon was born in 1996. Its earliest CoroCoro material now sits right at the beginning of one of the largest collectible franchises on earth. Then there is Pikachu Illustrator, created for CoroCoro contests in 1998. This year, the only PSA 10 sold for US$16.492 million. The most expensive trading card ever sold at auction. A 90s character card now sits above Mickey Mantle, Honus Wagner and every other piece of cardboard ever sold publicly at auction. So the idea that the 1990s are somehow too recent to produce serious grails is already dead. Pokémon got there first. I don't think it will be alone. We've spent the last few weeks digging through the rest of the decade and the depth is ridiculous. 1993 Sonic prisms. 1995 Toy Story. 1996 Final Fantasy VII Carddass. 1998 South Park. 1999 Ocarina of Time. Early Resident Evil. Tomb Raider. Street Fighter. The Simpsons. Different countries. Different formats. Different manufacturers. Vending cards, foils, prisms, stickers, lenticulars, magazine issues, cheap American wax. But the same broad setup keeps appearing: enormous IP, childhood-era cardboard and far less high-grade supply than you would expect from franchises this big. The Simpsons already feels like the market beginning to look backwards. Collectors are increasingly treating the 1990 Topps cards and stickers as first-year character material rather than some forgotten junk-wax non-sport set. Pokémon is already fully mature. The rest is earlier. That is why I keep coming back to the 90s. Earlier vintage has already had decades of attention. Batman collectors know the Batman card. Star Wars collectors know the Luke. Disney and comic collectors have spent generations establishing their important early pieces. Modern collectibles have the opposite problem. Everyone knows they're collectibles before the box is even opened. The good cards are identified immediately, sleeved immediately, graded immediately and often hoarded immediately. The 90s sit right between those two worlds. Old enough to have been genuinely used and lost. Recent enough to contain some of the largest IP still operating today. Thirty years of nostalgia. A huge generation of collectors moving into serious earning years. And cardboard produced before people realised they should be protecting it. You could almost design the perfect future vintage market around those conditions. Except we don't have to. It already happened. Batman had fifty-plus years for its cardboard to become canon. Star Wars has had nearly fifty. Pokémon has shown what can happen when a 90s property reaches the same level of collectible maturity. Now look at the class sitting behind it. Mario. Sonic. Link. Cloud. Tifa. Aerith. Resident Evil. Lara Croft. Woody and Buzz. The Simpsons. South Park. Street Fighter. Some of the most recognisable characters of the last thirty years, attached to cards produced before anyone had a reason to treat them like future financial assets. I think the market eventually does what it has always done with culturally important things. It looks backwards. It decides what mattered. Then it pays for the best surviving examples. The 50s had their turn. The 60s had their turn. The 70s are going absolutely ******* nuts right now. Pokémon has already broken the door down for the 90s. The rest of the decade is only a matter of time.

  One particular card I keep in my eBay search constantly has the wrong card #. With as many as I have seen, it has to be intentional deception, right? CPA vs CRA. As advanced as eBay is becoming, it should be able to catch the “error”, right? 🤔 #GottaDoYourDD @CardPurchaser
