    @LeeandLie I was looking forward to buying your figure off of eBay or some other bidding site since I missed the deadline of pre-ordering it. After hearing and reading everything, you're not to be blamed for this nor did you let your fans down. Hoping the best for you when things gets straightened.

    THIS GUY BOUGHT A $50,000 DATACENTER SERVER FOR LESS THAN A MAC MINI. I thought this was a datacenter tour. It's someone's office. Two enterprise rack servers sitting open on a desk, loaded with dual Xeons, hundreds of gigabytes of ECC RAM, and enough compute to run AI workloads that would cripple most consumer machines. Here's the part almost nobody realizes. When companies like AWS, Google, and Microsoft retire hardware after 3-4 years, they aren't throwing it away because it stopped working. They're replacing perfectly functional infrastructure that no longer fits their depreciation schedule. That means servers that cost $50,000 new quietly appear on eBay for $500-2,000. The CPUs still work. The RAM still works. The performance barely changed. Only the accounting did. Yes, they're loud. Yes, they pull 500-1000 watts. But if your goal is maximum local AI compute per dollar, consumer hardware isn't even playing the same game. Most people spend $2,000 on a high-end mini PC. This guy bought more RAM than many AI startups run on for less money than that. Hit play. Then tell me the used enterprise market isn't the biggest AI hardware arbitrage nobody is talking about.

    Set up Saved Searches and let eBay tell you when deals appear. She said timing is everything on eBay, and the best furniture deals disappear within hours. "A seller lists a West Elm dresser at $190 on a Tuesday morning. By Tuesday evening, it's sold. You never saw it because you searched on Saturday." The fix: Saved Searches. Search for the item you want. Tap "Save this search." eBay sends you an email or push notification the moment a new listing matching your criteria goes live. She set up 14 saved searches one for each piece of furniture they needed. Over the next 3 weeks, deals came to them instead of the other way around. She said: "You don't need to browse eBay every day hoping something appears. Set up your searches. Turn on notifications. When a $2,000 sofa gets listed for $600, eBay tells you before anyone else sees it. The buyers who use Saved Searches get the best deals because they're first in line automatically."

    @BreakerCulture Both platforms are obviously growing at a crazy pace, and as an eBay seller, eBay Live would actually be my first choice. The problem is the onboarding process feels virtually impossible. It almost feels like eBay doesn’t want new sellers getting onto Live, while Whatnot seems to welcome sellers with open arms. Because of that, I’m personally leaning toward pushing into Whatnot, even though I’d prefer to build on eBay where I already have an established business. I really hope eBay figures out the onboarding side of this. If Live is truly this important to their future, being so selective and difficult to access seems like they’re giving Whatnot a competitive advantage they don’t need to give them.

    @boggs328 Richard, just out of my curiosity, how many of them exhibit decent centering? I have owned three different ones, and none of them were well centered, and a recent eBay ‘rabbit hole’ search didn’t yield many raw ones at all. I think Topps had an issue with this specific card?

    This is going to be the biggest hobby news of 2026. I received a card that went through eBay authentication, AND IT ARRIVED WITH A PIECE OF TAPE OVER THE CARD SAVER SO THE CARD DOESN’T SLIDE OUT!!!! They must’ve hired some super smart NASA scientists to finally find a super complicated solution to this issue

    I went further down the TD rabbit hole, and there is a more concrete connection than I initially realized. First, a correction: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the initial purchaser for both GME convertible offerings—the 2030s and 2032s, ultimately covering the full $4.2B—not just the 2032 notes. The same TD entity later gave GameStop the highly confident letter regarding up to $20B of eBay acquisition financing. That does not prove TD still owned the notes or arranged this exchange. “Initial purchaser” means TD placed the notes with QIBs, and the exchange filing does not identify the participating holders. So I still don’t think we can establish that roadshow investors were being rewarded with equity. But TD’s financing letter contains what I now think is the strongest connection: Its confidence in raising the $20B expressly assumed that the combined company would obtain investment-grade ratings from at least two major rating agencies. Moody’s subsequently estimated that the proposed structure would leave the combined company with approximately $31.4B of debt and gross leverage close to 9× at closing. The agreed $1.4B exchange, if completed, would cut GME’s convertible principal by one-third and reduce that pro forma debt figure to roughly $30B—without using acquisition cash. On Moody’s original EBITDA assumptions, that only moves illustrative leverage from roughly 9.1× to 8.7×. So it doesn’t solve the financing problem by itself, particularly with $2.8B of converts still remaining. But it is directionally consistent with improving the credit and ratings case after eBay specifically criticized GME’s financing uncertainty and combined-company leverage. So I would refine the thesis: This does not appear to be about the converts legally blocking an eBay acquisition, nor does it prove institutions were simply “rewarded.” It looks more plausibly like one piece of a broader recapitalization—exchange debt for common equity, preserve cash, reduce gross leverage and future cash claims, and make a very large acquisition-financing package more credible. Still not proof of eBay. TD’s letter is explicitly not a commitment, and the exchanging holders may hedge or sell. But the investment-grade-rating condition gives this move a much more concrete economic rationale than Rule 144A or September 23 alone. Credit where it’s due — @dirtevader your post pushed me much further down this rabbit hole than I originally intended.

    @Walrus_Moonboy He’s scanning them in bulk and bulk listing them on eBay and tcgplayer. The issue is he’s causing lots of dings and scratches as it falls. So whoever buys these will be getting something worse than what the scans are sometimes.

    Looking into the “Ghosting error” of Vending Series iii Mewtwo, where there’s a tattoo-like print error on Mewtwo’s leg. This was an earlier print error and was later fixed. The error was so obvious that it created a separate line of sale on Snkr. PSA10 generally sells for more for the error version, except that PSA doesn’t acknowledge the error on the label. Currently lowest listed price of the error version of PSA10 is $4750 on Ebay, and the corrected version is $3,330 on Snkrdunk.

    @DSR_Joker I know this makes me a terrible fan, but I’ve never been able to read any of ADB’s stuff. I completely missed the Night Lords series, and when I finally learned about it they were out of print and $80 each on eBay. Dan got me into 40k though, through Eisenhorn back in the day.

    @sharkies71 proxying is not new by any means, she just helps find and secure cards for as cheap as possible. i paid roughly 375php (like £4) with fees, which is so much cheaper than i’d be able to find myself given terrible international shipping rates on apps like ebay

  • ValueAddedRS
    Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported

    @foxenflask @heydomoshi It's especially a bummer in this category because authentication over $500 is mandatory & free - but if it's $200-$499.99 eBay provides an option to add authentication for a $40 fee. If this item had been priced below $500 on the listing, you would have been given that option to pay extra if you wanted it authenticated. But because of the way eBay has programed the pricing threshold/eligibility logic & purchase flow, you didn't get that offer. It would be simple enough to program something that says if the final price at checkout will drop the transaction out of the free/mandatory threshold, alert the buyer & offer the upsell/add on option. eBay doesn't do either, making it both a terrible buyer experience & a missed additional revenue opportunity. It's little things like this that represent some of the biggest opportunities for Ryan, imo - low hanging fruit, easy to solve, current management just doesn't care/have the proper incentives to get it done.

    @iwilldestroyuxx @GhostRunnerCard The lack of any update and staying as shipping label printed is absolutely USPS issue. About 5-10% of my shipments never get any update or get one upon delivery. USPS is providing updates to eBay on these orders. It uses a different system than their traditional tracking system but eBay isn't just making **** up.

    @eBay This “tax” for having a 99.8% positive feedback and having the audacity to cancel a listing because it was lost eight months ago… with no issues since, is akin to just another profit center… not “protecting buyers”.

    @flasprtscardhvn I’m right at a year. I have sold over 750 cards on CollX and between what my wife did before and what I’ve done so far on EBay is little over 100. But it is up and down. I’ll have really busy weeks and some nothing crazy. But I do sell at least 2-3 a week with bigger orders here and there. Coolest thing is that I enjoy doing it and feels more like part of the hobby than a job.

    the market runs 1,440 minutes a day. you run about 40. that's the entire problem. everything else you argue about on this app is downstream of that one number. so people build crutches. price alerts. a hundred goddamn price alerts. and a price alert is the dumbest possible version of your thesis, because it only knows one number. it can't tell a breakout from a wick that got bought back in nine seconds. the other camp sells you a bot. black box, a backtest curve going up and to the right, no way to ask it what the hell it's doing. most of it is a ******* screenshot business, not a trading business. TradeOS took the boring road instead. you type a sentence. plain English, no Pine Script, no repo to clone: "analyze QQQ 1D chart with trend analysis using moving average, MACD, squeeze momentum, ATR" that sentence becomes an agent: > it runs 24/7 > it watches the assets you named while you're asleep > it drops the verdict in your feed. "detected 3 trends." or nothing, which is also an answer. 13,000+ assets in reach. the agent doesn't get bored at minute 41. there's a second piece on there I think is underrated. an indicator market. one premarket S&P model has 19,347 subscribers on it. you can rent someone else's edge instead of rebuilding it from scratch, or publish yours and let other people pay for it. that's a real market, not a Discord with a paywall. now the part almost nobody clicks on. @TradeOS_ai is built on @verona_dev. Verona doesn't rent them blockspace. Verona earns a share of what the app earns. read that twice, because it inverts the usual deal. every other chain wants your gas and a logo in their ecosystem deck. Verona only gets paid when the app on top of it gets paid. that changes who they let build. a landlord takes any tenant. a partner does diligence. and look at who picked those rails. teams that moved money at eBay, PayPal, ByteDance, American Express. those people shipped payment infrastructure at a scale where a bad rail costs real money and somebody's job. they don't pick rails for the vibes. that's the signal I'd weigh, honestly. not the roadmap. the choice.
