  @Yoshegame >whining Don't be that guy. Just don't. It's not "whining", and you're being bad-faith by suggesting it is. If they're not going to give people an off-ramp and keep the bridge open without having to connect online, then they have no reason not to keep the service going when a full account with 3,000 Pokemon is barely 1 megabyte and 1 million full accounts is still not 100% of 1 terabyte, because a Pokemon is only about 300 bytes. They have no excuse when I can use a single $30 SSD and some flash drives in RAID for backups on an e-waste PC I got on eBay to store MILLIONS of Pokemon for pennies of electricity while they have BILLIONS for an operating budget. The rounding error to keep the service up won't hurt them any when a trip to Walmart is all it takes.

  I would love to hear any coherent explanation of what tf @ryancohen is doing. I am literally down to two explanations. He’s either a hedgie. Or he’s setting up for MOASS. Nothing else makes sense. Let’s raise convertible notes to buy a bunch of $BTC! Just kidding let’s wait as long as possible and then only buy a tiny bit at all time highs. Okay well, then let’s use it to buy a company 84 times the size of ours, that’s also at all time highs! We can exchange our convertible notes now to clean up the balance sheet so we can buy $EBAY! Well let’s not really buy @eBay, but for sure let’s dilute our company to the maximum for seemingly no reason at all. Every one of these things brings extensive short pressure to our beloved stock. You would have to be so beyond regarded to not know that’s what was going to happen. Yet he still for some reason created dividend warrants, which also bring on their own arbitrage pressure. You see the problem? Why would someone who wanted to reward shareholders do all these things that clearly prevented that. He’s surely knew every single thing he was going to do this past year and if you don’t think that, you should stop eating crayons. He’s a hedgie. Or MOASS is coming. I do not see an alternative explanation. Because if it’s not MOASS, then he is full regard, or worse, and someone should take the controller out of his hands.

  You can’t rationally complain about not being able to sell a card that you put in front of 26 people on here. It’s your job to put that card in front of the right set of eyes. Your lack of effort is the issue. If you won’t use eBay, consign with people that move cardboard on here

  @CardsEnzo I lived and died by the eBay $0.99 7day auction even in the down market. But in the last ~12 months, the norm is sales well below comps, even on liquid cards / hot players. I’m all BIN OBO these days.

  @ThePackAddict97 The only issue I have with eBay comps is best offer accepted price doesn’t show, in which case I just use 130point. Anyone paying for comps is a bird brain, though.

  @CardsMax Should have to pay immediately IMO. If there is an issue with paying within 24 hours the buyer should reach out and let the seller know. When I used to sell on eBay, and most items were pretty low end after about 24 hours my success rate of being paid was like 10%.

  @WilliamT268238 @TeddyRJ741 What news? If it came that it bought eBay, price world go down. If it came that the deal is 100% off, the price would go down. The only thing that would raise the price is if GameStop fired Ryan Cohen, and made a statement saying they would never dilute the shareholders again.

  $GME LAYER 1 — August 3 may be setting up a repeat of the March to May 2024 settlement pattern The March 2024 decline is important because GME did not immediately show a major FTD problem when the stock was hit after earnings. The large settlement imbalance appeared later. C+35 calendar days from the late March decline landed around the beginning of May, and the more meaningful activity showed up over the following trading sessions. GME FTDs went from only 941 shares on May 3 to 186,627 on May 6, 433,054 on May 7 and 525,493 on May 8, just before the May 13 and 14 price explosion. In prior GME settlement episodes, the strongest upside has often come after the raw C+35 date, with roughly two additional trading sessions and any holiday adjustment pushing the real pressure point slightly later. That is why September 8 through 10 stands out so much now. August 3 created a reason for participating bondholders to sell or hedge against future GME shares before those shares are actually delivered. Qualifying deemed owned sales can be made without the ordinary locate requirement, so some of that selling could fail at settlement and remain open into the Rule 204 window. The earliest August 3 cohort reaches C+35 on September 7, which is Labor Day. That pushes the first live session to September 8, and the usual extra trading day or two brings September 9 and 10 directly into focus. Earnings is also very likely to fall right around that same September 8 to 10 area. If GME suddenly rips, most people will probably point to earnings. But the more interesting possibility is that earnings provides the visible catalyst while forced settlement demand is already hitting underneath it. A strong report, an eBay update, or other material disclosure could also clear away one of the main information barriers that has limited GameStop's ability to use its $2 billion buyback authorization. LAYER 2 — The 35 trading day VWAP may be helping create the compression before the reset The August 3 exchange also created a 35 trading day VWAP period that runs through most of September, with the actual exchange expected to close around September 23. During that time, the final number of shares remains variable, so bondholders have a reason to keep adjusting their exposure. That gives the current weakness a real structural explanation. The same transaction that may have produced the first round of hedge selling on August 3 remains active for weeks, while the earliest settlement obligations are aging toward early September. The stock can stay heavy while the VWAP is still being established, even if pressure is quietly building underneath. The lower price also has obvious strategic value for GameStop. The company has $2 billion of authorized repurchase capacity, so every dollar lower makes any accumulation dramatically more efficient. A depressed stock price can shake out short term holders, move shares into stronger hands, and allow the company to retire more shares for the same amount of capital if it chooses to act. Then the structure changes quickly. Early September brings the settlement window and likely earnings. Around September 23 the VWAP is finished, the final share count is known, the exchange settles, and $1.4 billion of convertible debt disappears. If GameStop has been waiting for a cleaner post disclosure window to buy shares, this is the point where the setup starts getting very interesting. LAYER 3 — October is where the longer cycle, eBay and the $32 warrants can all come together A separate clock begins with GameStop's early May eBay activity. The longer GME recurrence points to roughly 105 to 110 trading days, which lands in early October. That means the longer cycle arrives after the August settlement window, after earnings, and after the September 23 exchange is expected to be complete. By then the floating VWAP is gone, the bond conversion is finished, and the capital structure is cleaner. October is not just another cycle date. It is the first period where the longer timing model arrives after all of the August and September restructuring has already run its course. Then there are the $32 warrants that expire October 30. Roughly 59 million warrants could bring GameStop close to $1.9 billion in gross cash if the stock trades high enough for exercise to make sense. That gives the company a very real economic reason to benefit from a stronger stock price later in the fall. If GameStop understands these recurring settlement patterns and already has strategic eBay developments or other news that can be disclosed after the bond exchange is complete, October becomes a very logical place for that information to matter most. The company benefits from the low price now because it improves accumulation economics, and it benefits from a much higher price later because it makes the warrants valuable and increases the usefulness of GME stock as acquisition currency. That is the larger setup: August creates compression, September brings settlement and the structural reset, and October arrives with the longer cycle, the eBay strategy and the $32 warrant deadline all pointed in the same direction. I laid out the longer version of this thesis in a separate post (PDF).

  My garage is a nerds *********... Anyone interested? Shoot me the right number and I'd let it all go. The only problem is I dunno what that number is till I hear it lol. I'll drive the whole lot out of state if need be. The next couple weeks I'll be going through it and pricing everything. I'm sure there's some unicorns in there. Once I have all that done we will be setting up an Ebay page in my father in laws name to sell it all unless someone scoops it up before all that. I can't even fathom how much he spent on all this... @Wizards_DnD @Wizards

  @DrElectronX @RandyWKirk1 Major tech companies pre-dot-com bubble peak (late 1990s–2000): Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, IBM, Oracle, Lucent, Sun Microsystems, Compaq, Dell, HP, AOL, Yahoo, Apple, Amazon, eBay. If you wind the clock forward 10 yrs everyone of these except AOL lives on its own or was merged. My point is that most of the leaders in the tech industry would survive a bubble bust if it happened tomorrow. I saw the bubble coming and moved to cash befire the dot. com bubble, but I was scared out of the market for 10 years and missed the rapid rebound of the tech leaders. Timing a bubble is a fools game. Buy quality companies whose competitive advantages will endure in down times.
