    GameStop just amended the convertible-note exchange. They were going to pay the whole $1.4B in stock, using a 35-day average price. Today they cut that short. Noteholders now get about 55.5 million GME shares and about $358 million in cash. That’s 55.5 million new shares going to the funds that held the 2030 and 2032 notes - not a public offering. They also dropped preliminary Q2 numbers in the same filing: 👉 sales down versus last year’s Switch 2 quarter 👉 operating profit up 👉 cash now in the $5.05–5.07B range after they converted the eBay position into about 43.4 million actual eBay shares September 3rd is the date to watch. That’s when this is slated to close. 👀 cc: @gamestop @ryancohen @TheRoaringKitty $GME

    @SonicBlueRanger The prices for them on eBay aren’t terrible in all fairness, given that not all that many copies were published. It just depends if you’re willing to spend anywhere from £30 to nearly £50 a piece for them.

    @WSJ Sales $780–800M vs $972M a year ago (Switch 2 comp, store closures, France exit). Operating income still jumped to $150–170M from $66M.Net income $290–310M includes about $238M of eBay-related gains and a ~$75M digital-asset loss. Cash is down to ~$5.06B after converting the eBay derivative into 43.4M shares. Shrink-the-store retail plus a balance-sheet company.

    $GME GameStop is no longer reporting a retailer first. It is reporting a holdco. Sales $780–$800 million, down from $972 million. Switch 2 anniversary, stores shut, France gone. That is the old business shrinking on purpose. Operating income $150–$170 million versus $66 million. The store is smaller and more profitable. Net income $290–$310 million — and $238 million of that is the eBay mark, minus ~$75 million on digital assets. Cash fell from $8.7 billion to ~$5.06 billion because they converted the eBay derivative into 43.4 million shares. That stake is worth ~$4.95 billion. The treasury did not vanish. It changed clothes. Full print: September 8. Today is the preview they dropped next to a convertible-notes exchange. So the question is not “is GME a meme.” Is this a tighter retailer with a $5 billion eBay box — or a closed-end fund that still has a logo on the mall? $GME $EBAY Not investment advice.

    @KyngDid Even that breaks down to math too. If a table cost is $150 that’s 10% of $1500 in sales. Even selling at 100% of comps comes with a cost (and depending on how much you sell could be far more or far less than eBay)

    @JDAlexOfficial @eBay They are bloated and it’s why many individuals online rally against using eBay, Walmart, Amazon, and big corporations that have pulled the wool over our eyes and kind of forced lots of local businesses to shut down

    The print and the daily just shook hands. $GME is $18.72, +4.8%. The August dump from $22 landed on $18. Today it reclaimed the 20-day. First resistance is the shelf they just lost — $21.70–$22. The old green line up at ~$25.50 is a different conversation. That bounce is not a squeeze. Short float is 13%. Cap is $8.4 billion. The letter this morning is the real story. Sales $780–$800 million, down. Operating income $150–$170 million, up. Cash ~$5.06 billion after they turned the eBay derivative into 43.4 million shares worth ~$4.95 billion. Net income is stuffed with a $238 million eBay mark and a $75 million digital-asset hole. Full results September 8. So $18 is only “perfect” if you are buying a tighter store plus a $5 billion eBay box — not if you are buying 2021. The level that kills the bounce is a loss of $18. The level that makes it a trade is a hold above $22. Retailer, holdco, or dead-cat — which one is $18.72? $GME $EBAY Not investment advice.

    LONG READ: Off-brand post, but as a longtime @Nike shareholder, this needs to be said. Nike used to be a company you could invest in and trust to run itself. Now the stock is trading in the high $30’s, a fresh 12-year low, down roughly 76% from its all-time high of $163.63 in November 2021. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a slow burn downhill. In 2020, Nike handed the company to John Donahoe, a former eBay and ServiceNow executive with a consulting background and no real history in sneakers or sport. The stock hit its all-time high under him in November 2021, but that wasn’t a product win, it was pandemic tailwinds. Lockdown spending and a digital sales boom carried the whole brand. Donahoe leaned into it, pulling back from wholesale partners like Foot Locker and Amazon to chase direct-to-consumer sales. It worked while the boom lasted. The second it ended, that same move handed Hoka, On, and New Balance the shelf space to take over. He spent the rest of his tenure cutting costs and squeezing profit out of old product instead of investing in anything new. On June 28, 2024, Nike’s stock fell 20% in a single day after weak earnings and guidance for a 10% revenue decline, its worst trading day in 44 years as a public company. It never really recovered. Nike has now erased roughly $200 billion in market value since its 2021 peak, the largest drawdown in the company’s history. Even Jordan Brand, the crown jewel, isn’t safe. Revenue fell from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026, two straight years of decline. Hoka went from $153 million to $2.6 billion in sales in eight years. On grew 285% in three years. Nike handed them the shelf space and gave people no reason to buy new. Stop putting bean counters and consultants in charge of a brand people love. Put product people back in charge. Open the SNKRS app right now. The Jordan 4 “Rare Air” Tour Yellow drops September 5th, a 20-year-old colorway from 2006, priced at $220. A shoe that’s already been made once, repackaged, made cheaper than its original release and marked up. Stop chasing what flippers on StockX think a re-release is worth. Price product for the people who actually want to wear it. Every dollar Nike hands to resale culture is a dollar it’s not making itself, and a customer it’s not building loyalty with. Nike has an entire team of engineers dedicated to fighting bots on SNKRS, blocking billions of fake entries every month just to protect launches like this. You wouldn’t need bot protection if you weren’t manufacturing the scarcity yourself, especially when a good chunk of these same releases end up marked down in outlets and clearance stores months later anyway. So what was the artificial scarcity even for? Elliott Hill spent 32 years at Nike, most of it running product, commerce, and marketing, before retiring in 2020. Now he’s back, cleaning up a mess a consultant-era CEO left behind. Even so, JPMorgan just downgraded the stock again this month, warning the pain from the turnaround won’t stabilize until fiscal 2028. Bringing back someone who actually gets the brand is the right move. But, it shouldn’t have taken a 76% collapse to get there.

    GameStop is about to post a near-record profit. Almost none of it came from selling video games. The company guided to $290 to $310 million in net income last quarter, up from $169 million a year ago. Roughly $238 million of that is a paper gain on its eBay stake, not its stores. Actual sales fell to about $790 million from $972 million, down 19%. A video-game retailer now earns more from a stock bet than from its business. Ryan Cohen even made a $56 billion run at buying eBay outright, and eBay called it neither credible nor attractive. The register is shrinking while the balance sheet plays hedge fund. The stock tells the real story. Shares slid from $22 to $18 over the past 3 months, and a near-record profit has not stopped the bleed. A trading gain does not repeat on a schedule. The store decline does. $GME

    @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

    @RDKLInc Yeah… they don’t want to give you the working ones anymore, either. It’s starting to get so bad, even the repairable ones are sorted out first, too. Even on eBay, most “defective, for parts, not working”, are listed after repair attempts only, and they try to scam not disclosing

    It’s so easy to open your phone, hop on eBay and buy a PS2 game Any time I want to add an NES game to the collection I have to sit down and figure out what inserts came with it and which variant I want to buy and THEN dig through listings to see if there’s even a CIB listed

    Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.

    Alex Thompson (@sierrastrades) reported

    TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

    @Bgillz7 Spoiler alert… they have lost money now. They used it to buy BTC, eBay, and treasury notes. Down $100m on BTC. Even on eBay. Up maybe $100m or so on T notes. $350m in cash out the door and an extra 7m shares. $400 in value lost on $1.4b in notes that were 0% interest.
