  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

  @thewebbie @amazon The fluctuating delivery times I can live with; I just expect that as a result of the many variables inherent in online shopping. The packaging quality, however, is a big problem. Amazon built its sales volume on cut-rate shipping deals with USPS and UPS that other retailers couldn't match. That could hold out unless -guess what- we suffer an inflationary period driving up energy and labor costs. Now they can't afford to pay for proper boxes, packing, and skilled workers to sort & pack properly. (For anyone with an eBay side hustle you know that's actually quite a skill). So I concur that the amount of large items shipped in cheap envelopes is increasing, meaning we get more broken and missing stuff. Amazon will keep doing this until the cost of refunds and returns overwhelm the packaging savings...and I fear the end of the "free shipping" era is near.

  My librarian Janet was running a book laundering scheme where she checked out books under dead people's names, reported them lost, pocketed the replacement fees, then resold the "lost" books online. Discovered this when my dead grandmother's library card got a overdue notice. "Grandma's been dead for three years." "Oh no, our system must have glitched," Janet said. But the book was real. Someone checked out "The Goldfinch" under her name last week. I checked records. Grandma's card had been active for three years. 47 books checked out. All "lost." All replacement fees paid from a account I'd never seen. Confronted Janet. "You're running a fraud scheme with dead people's library cards." "I'm maintaining circulation metrics for funding purposes." "You're stealing." She showed me the books budget. Cut by 40% over three years. "I'm keeping this library alive. The replacement fees fund new books. The 'lost' books get resold. Money goes back into the system." "Through your pocket." "Some administrative costs are involved, yes." She'd been doing it for five years. 200 dead people's cards. $180,000 in replacement fees. Books resold on eBay for another $90,000. All money went back into library programs. Story time. Teen literacy. Computer access. "You're Robin Hood but make it books?" "I prefer Marian the Librarian but yes." I should've reported it. But the library was thriving. Programs everywhere. New books weekly. Then an auditor noticed the pattern. Investigated. Found everything. Janet was fired. Police got involved. Community rallied. "Janet saved this library." Petition to drop charges: 4,000 signatures. Charges dropped. Janet was rehired with "enhanced oversight." She's not allowed to handle money anymore. But circulation is down 30%. Programs are being cut. Janet started a nonprofit. "Friends of the Library Foundation." Runs fundraisers. All legal now. Raised $200,000 last year. Library is thriving again. I asked if she missed the scheme. "Every day. It was elegant. But this is better. Harder, but better." My grandmother's library card finally got deactivated. Last book checked out under her name: "How to Get Away With Murder." Janet swears it wasn't her. I believe her but I also don't.

  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.

  I’ve started a daily series on projects that already have something real but the presentation still hasn’t caught up to its potential. Project Breakdown #72 — @ChaseCardApp ChaseCard is a live aggregator. You name the card. Set, language, condition, budget. They watch every marketplace. Beta is open. Alerts are already going out. Umbreon 38% under. Gengar 45% under. That is a real loop. The page does not show the loop. It shows a still of a deal and a link to apply. A collector already hunting grails will get it. A stranger sees another TCG promo card. Two problems. The watch is invisible. The product is not “Umbreon is cheap.” The product is ChaseCard catching it across shops while you sleep. That is motion. A price still is what eBay already posts. Motion is the alert hitting, the listing opening, the card matching the chase. The feed is one template. Photo. Percent. Link. Fine for proof. Weak as a brand. A ChaseCard frame should be the chase itself. Card. Target price. Hit. Same rails every alert. Then the beta link has a face. They already have the deals. The page should look like the watcher, not like the listing. See you on the next one.

  Sagzee (@IAmSagzee) reported 50 minutes ago

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling
