  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?

  @WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser Give it another week. eBay tracking has went back to being jacked up this week. I’ve got issues with cards coming in and going out. Ask for a few more days. Sadly I’ve had cards take weeks to get to me after being marked as delivered

  A lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

  @TCGPokePlug @eBay They added the sales tax to the order total and then subtracted it. That has no impact to you. Your fees were $419. Your sale must have been around $2900 and you received almost $2500. So, what’s the issue?

  @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.

  GM y'all! Here's the new project. I work on an SAR team and I have ATAK integrated with mesh on my phone but it's a pain to have to pull it out and look at it all the time while I'm working. So, new plan: Im going to find a cheap old GPS only Samsung Galaxy watch4 on eBay and use it to mirror my phones offline Google maps. I picked that watch because I need a smart watch that uses Wear OS because that will allow me to access and run actual Google maps natively within an app already designed to use them. Once I'm done I'll be able to have my watch running my location on gps and I just have to glance at my wrist. A lot less annoying than having to pull my phone out of a pouch or drop it down to look at it. Not a major problem by any means but fixing a small annoyance is still worth it.

  I also forgot to include the mention of a post I made yesterday about people that are scamming their viewers and making people pay money for Sprites and this wasn't directed at Phill and his name wasn't even mentioned in the post either but yet again he assumes everything is about him when it's not. I don't watch his streams, I don't look at his Twitter account at all except for today obviously when people make me aware of a post made about me and again pretty much this entire week so far I've been helping work on my house. The post that I made about the Sprite issues too was also based off of stuff I've seen throughout last week and this week including where people are selling Sprites on Ebay and there have been people on YouTube streams begging people for SUBS or Money in exchange to them getting Sprites in return.

  2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome NFL Analysis Keeping this one shorter than usual as I have a ridiculous amount of analysis to do over the next few days. If you are a fan of Cosmic, you know what you're getting. This one has everything you expect from the brand. If you are not hip to the Cosmic game, you're getting a fantastic looking product with a cohesive theme, centered around rare inserts with autos being the cherry on top. Part 1: The Basics Cosmic NFL drop via EQL tomorrow- Friday June 19th. Drop price is $650/box. Well, that didn't take long. We have our first WTF. Though Cosmic is always popular, we really need to install some goalposts here. The NBA version of this product, with its epic rookie class, pre-sold at $580 but then took a ridiculous jump for release day to something like $750. It didn't take long for people to realize it's pretty easy to get massacred at that price. Prices remained stagnant from there. These can still be snagged for $800 on ebay. Topps is effectively attempting to put flippers out of business. And $650/box for a lackluster NFL class should make moves to accomplish that goal. Part 2: Production numbers Total cards in product: 4,632,600 Compare this to 2025 Cosmic NBA: 6,355,200 At least they made 27% less of this than the NBA version. As they should. Total Production by format: Hobby- 57,770 boxes (7,221 cases) In addition, we have what has come to be known as a Cosmic staple- the elusive Lunar Boxes. Extremely tough to hit, these "God boxes" are some of the most exciting and valuable chases in the hobby, and these are even better than usual. Typically, each PACK of a Lunar Box contains a blood-red Lunar Parallel /10 and a better chance at hits than a typical box. Based on odds, Lunar Boxes in NFL also contain 5 autos/box. Not a typo. They went from a "better chance at autos" to a full-blown auto extravaganza. Total Lunar boxes produced: ~138 This means your odds of landing a Lunar Box are 1 in ~420 boxes (1 in 52.5 cases) If you are lucky enough to pull one of these, you won't know until you crack the seal and notice the packs say "Lunar". At that point...take a deep breath. You have a decision to make. Those packs sell for a few hundred each, making an entire box worth maybe $6k give or take. Congrats, you won life that day. Part 3: Heat Map Here's what you can expect from a box of Cosmic NFL: 0.34 autos (1 in 3 boxes should contain an auto, or 2.7 autos/case.) 5.4 parallels 10.6 inserts 2.4 numbered cards Lunar Box: 5 autos 26.4 parallels 14.75 inserts 30.6 numbered cards An infinite amount of Aura. Now let's cut to the real chase- Rare Inserts. Cosmic is busting at the seams with rare inserts, and many of them are amazing. For Cosmic NFL, the rare insert list will include Light Years, Cosmic Dust, Cos-Play, Supernova, Starfractor, Planetarium, and the wildly popular Planetary Pursuits. I suppose we could also include Constellations in this, although they are technically parallels here. Your chances of pulling a rare insert from a box is better than your chance of pulling an auto. Combining all the rare inserts listed above, one of these should fall 1 in ~1.75 boxes, or 4.6 per case. 57% of boxes should contain a rare insert. Planetary Pursuits alone should fall 2.1 per case with ~47% being the most common variety, Sun. As far as the checklist goes, namely for Planetary Pursuits..I think it's solid. Maybe not amazing. I love that Mahomes has Planetaries. Those will hit hard. I have to wonder when Topps will get rights for Mahomes autos. I know I'm a homer being from KC and all, but the lack of Mahomes autos leaves a serious void in current licensed NFL products. Meanwhile Panini is laughing in their face and producing a product the price of a car that's basically all Mahomes autos. It's like trying to put a quick 10k miles on that rental car just because you can. Part 4: Value Map Based on drop pricing of $650. $/card: $8.13 $/parallel: $121.04 $/auto: $1,911.76 $/numbered card: $270.83 Part 5: What Would the Squatch Do? First let me clarify- I love me some Cosmic. Cosmic boxes are some of the most fun to rip in the hobby. They can also be a gigantic kick in the nuts. Not so long ago, when they were $300-$400, this was doable. At $650+, that fun turns to stress real quick. If I were planning to flip these, I'd be worried. They might do fine. Then again, they might not. I'm sure the "La Carda Nostra" trinity of Topps/Blowout/DA will manipulate the resale market to appear like they're spking in price. Cosmic NBA appeared to be over $1k/box for about 5 minutes too. Don't buy into it. It sucks that the joy has largely been squeezed out of these for rippers. Because they truly are a fun rip at the right price. I think that price is somewhere south of $650. This one screams "Buy singles!" If I'm joining the party, I'm saving the stacks I would have used to rip a few boxes and buying some cool rare inserts of my guys. Planetary Pursuits are phenomenal. Constellations are outstanding. Planetariums are extraordinary. Supernovas, Starfractors, Cosmis Dusts...it's like a candy factory of rare inserts. Maybe that means some will end up being affordable because there are so many options. That's what I'm doing with Cosmic. Let everyone else get kicked in the beanbag while I cherry pick my PC cards. Part 6: Print Runs Base cards per player: ~25,250 Base rookies: ~11,580 ea Unnumbered parallels: Refractor- ~580 ea Nucleus- ~300 ea White Hole- ~75 ea Rookie Refractors- ~580 ea Rookie Nucleus- ~300 ea Rookie White Hole- ~75 ea Unnumbered Inserts: Light Speed (35 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Extraterrestrial Talent (25 card CL)- ~5,790 ea Stars in the Night (25 card CL)- ~5,780 ea Star Clusters (15 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Rare Inserts: Light Years (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cosmic Dust (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cos-Play (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Supernova (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Constellation (100 card CL)- ~24 ea Starfractor (100 card CL)- ~35 ea Planetarium (25 card CL)- ~86 ea Planetary Pursuits (10 card CL): Sun- ~725 ea Mercury- ~360 ea Venus- ~180 ea Earth- ~120 ea Mars- ~72 ea Jupiter- ~36 ea Saturn- ~18 ea Uranus- ~9 ea Neptune- ~5 ea Pluto- ~4 ea Unnumbered Autos: Cosmic Chrome Base Autos (68 card CL)- ~40 ea (I know. The odds say these are easier to pull than Green Space Dust Autos /75, so how can there be less of them? These are never all inserted into a product. Some are withheld for damage replacements, or it's possible not every player signed certain parallels. Whatever the reason, only ~30 of each Green /75 are inserted into the product. Additionally, only ~36 of each Gold /50 are inserted. This is not uncommon. I've talked about this in the past and it's just not worth dwelling on. This will not make the expected pull rate of autos go down.) Solar Flare Signatures (26 card CL)- ~50 ea Equinox Autos (29 card CL)- ~45 ea First Flight Signatures (25 card CL)- ~50 ea #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #2025CosmicChromeNFL

  A four-year-old Android TV box botnet called Popa — a plugin layer inside the larger Vo1d/Badbox 2.0 ecosystem — has been traced with high confidence to NetNut, a residential proxy subsidiary of Alarum Technologies Ltd. Alarum trades on NASDAQ as ALAR. It closed today at $9.205, up 1.27%. The market hasn't read Krebs yet. Three firms published simultaneously today: Qurium, Synthient, and Spur. Coordinated disclosure, not a single-researcher allegation — specifically structured so that legal pressure on any one outlet can't kill the story. That's a tell about what the researchers expected to happen next. The linchpin of the attribution isn't a leaked document. It's a LinkedIn profile. Ninjatech[.]io — one of the C2 domains that survived the Badbox 2.0 disruption in July 2025 and was re-registered within days to keep Popa running — traces directly to Moishi Kramer, whose LinkedIn identifies him as VP of R&D at NetNut, where he credits himself for building the company from the ground up. He says Ninjatech was sold five years ago and he has no visibility into current infrastructure. Synthient's SDK reverse-engineering disagrees: outbound traffic from Popa devices flows directly to NetNut client infrastructure. The consent fiction is the most important technical detail. NetNut's defense is that Popa asks users for consent before enrolling their device as a proxy node. Synthient analyzed over 20 active Popa publishers. None of them were observed asking for user consent. Not one. The consent mechanism exists in recent SDK builds as a legal fig leaf. It doesn't function in the wild. Spur published first, on June 8, and established the KYC collapse. Despite Alarum's claim that NetNut performs rigorous customer verification, a burner email and $5 in crypto buys full proxy access through downstream resellers — no corporate verification, no meaningful due diligence. The "verified corporations only" claim is, per Spur, marketing copy, not access control. The botnet survived a major takedown and rebuilt in days. Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro jointly disrupted Badbox 2.0 in July 2025, seizing most of the original Popa C2 domains. Within days, several dozen new domains were registered as replacements. The VP of R&D's old domain being among them is not a coincidence. Scale: 1.4M+ compromised Android TV box IPs. Active for roughly four years. Primary uses: ad fraud, account takeovers, mass data scraping. MITRE T1496 (resource hijacking), T1090 (proxy), T1584.005 (botnet via pre-compromised supply chain), T1195 (supply chain compromise). The devices are sold on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress under thousands of model names, marketed as cheap streaming boxes. The malware is pre-installed at the factory or bundled into pirated streaming apps. The user never sees a consent dialog. The user never knows. This is not really a botnet story. It's a business model story. The gray-zone residential proxy industry — companies that monetize bandwidth from ostensibly consenting users to sell anonymous residential IP traffic to paying clients — has been a known eCrime enabler for years. What's new is the scale of the evidence, the quality of the attribution, and the fact that the alleged operator is publicly traded on a US exchange. If Synthient's SDK analysis holds, Alarum Technologies is running a NASDAQ-listed business whose core product relies on a network that nobody actually consented to join. That's not a gray zone. That's a SEC disclosure problem, a potential FTC enforcement action, and depending on the customer mix, possibly a CFAA exposure. We are nothing if not consistent. The account takeover angle is where this touches your stack directly. Popa's 1.4M residential IPs are used to bypass fraud detection systems that rely on IP reputation — credential stuffing, account takeover campaigns, and ad fraud all route through this pool because residential IPs don't trip the blocklists that datacenter IPs do. If your security stack uses IP reputation as a fraud signal, residential proxy networks like Popa are specifically designed to blind it. Layer behavioral signals — velocity, session patterns, device fingerprints — because the IP layer is compromised as a reliable signal at this volume. The supply chain vector is the one worth flagging for enterprise teams. These boxes sit plugged into home-office and occasionally corporate networks, behind the firewall, with a persistent encrypted tunnel open to C2 infrastructure that reconstitutes in days after a major joint takedown. The Badbox 2.0 / Vo1d device list published by Google and HUMAN Security in July 2025 is the reference. Check against it. NetNut is a commonly used proxy provider in ad-tech and market research. If any vendor in your supply chain routes traffic through NetNut for data enrichment or competitive intelligence, you may have indirect exposure to this network. ALAR is up 1.27% at $9.205 on 124K shares as of 17:43 ET. The Krebs piece dropped at 17:37. Watch the open tomorrow.

  @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.
