𝕷𝖊𝖓 (@Len_horror) reported@just_bob84 @JacksonUNR Not really pointless because you cannot get it on standard vinyl anymore, it's why people have been asking for a re issue. Same for history and blood on the dance floor, a re issues of those wouldn't be pointless as you can't get them anymore outside of eBay.

Straight Florida (@StraightFlorida) reported"Loud pipes save lives on a motorcycle," but a straight-piped four-cylinder screams "I just cashed my $120 Taco Bell bonus check and bought a fart can off eBay." Customizing a V8 Charger or Mustang that naturally sounds like thunder makes sense, but trying to make a glorified matchbox car sound like a Top Fuel dragster is pure comedy. These budget blenders-on-wheels love announcing their arrival by blasting low bass so aggressive it’s actively vibrating the rust off the undercarriage and loosening the glue on their fake stick-on AutoZone hood vents. The entire chassis is shaking itself to death one kick drum at a time, trapped in a cloud of burnt oil, peach-ice vape smoke, and a desperate bouquet of nine tree-shaped Black Ice air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror. What sends me into outer space is the red-light stance. The driver is reclined so far back in the bucket seat they look like they’re laying down for an eye exam, one hand draped over the top of the steering wheel like a drowning swimmer clinging to a buoy. Then they hit you with that slow, neck-straining side-eye to see if you’re admiring the setup. My Douche, the only people impressed by your 108-horsepower lawnmower are three non-binary teenagers in an Arby's parking lot and two aspiring micro-influencers farming you for content before they realize TikTok isn't paying the bills and they have to pivot to an OnlyFans featuring a Taser connected cucumber. Their entire life purpose hinges on aggressively revving at a unimpressed soccer mom in a Honda Odyssey, dumping the clutch, and making 110 decibels of pure aggressive-wasp noise — all to achieve a blistering 32 mph before slamming the brakes for the next red light 100 yards down the road. Then the minivan casually glides right back up next to them. You didn't win a street race, bro; you just spent three dollars worth of premium gas to travel 50 feet and blow out your own catalytic converter. We’ve all wanted to look cool when we were younger, but turning your daily driver into an angry weedwhacker with $20 limo tint is next-level delusion.

Elijah (@iamelijahfloyd) reported@Frogboyx1Gaming Costco has a CyberPowerPC at $999 after a $500 instant rebate. Core Ultra 5 225F, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, RTX 5060. Rebate expires 08/23/26. The sign lists a lot. It does not list the one number that decides whether this machine is useful to you. It names the GPU model, not its VRAM. That omission is not sneaky, just uninformative, because the plain RTX 5060 ships in exactly one config: 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus, 448 GB/s. There is no 12GB or 16GB version to distinguish it from. The 5060 Ti is the card with two flavors. People conflate them constantly. For 1080p gaming, 8GB is fine. For running models locally, 8GB is the entire conversation. What actually fits: 7B to 8B at Q4, roughly 4.5 to 5 GB, sits on the GPU with context to spare 12B to 14B at Q4, roughly 8 to 9 GB, already spilling into system RAM 20B and up, CPU offload, which means slow enough that you stop using it The 32GB of DDR5 does not rescue this. System RAM is the consolation prize, not the pool. Now the comparison most posts skip. A used RTX 3090 runs $850 to $1,100, typically landing near $1,000. That is 24GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus at about 936 GB/s. Token generation is memory bandwidth bound, so you are not only getting 3x the capacity, you are getting roughly 2x the throughput on top of it. But read the units carefully. $999 buys 8GB inside a complete working system. $1,000 buys 24GB and nothing else. That "nothing else" is doing real work. Add a board, CPU, RAM, case, and an 850W supply to feed a 350W card wanting dual 8-pin, and you land at $1,600 to $1,800. The prebuilt's stock PSU almost certainly cannot take a 3090 later either, so treating the Costco box as an upgrade path is wishful. The filter step. Neither option is wrong. They answer different questions. If you want a working machine today and your models are 8B and under, $999 complete is a genuinely strong number. If the goal is 30B class models, you are not buying a computer, you are buying VRAM. And $999 buys 8GB of it welded into a chassis you cannot meaningfully upgrade. Intuition says that's a deal. Logic asks a deal on what, specifically. The spec that constrains your actual use case is the only one worth pricing. One caveat before anyone runs to eBay: most used 3090s mined through 2021 and 2022, and the GDDR6X on the backside runs hot enough to cook its thermal pads. Ask whether they were replaced.

Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) reported@StockSandbox @eBay I'm shocked that they're even giving me trouble. They took responsibility and offered me a 25% refund and I said that's unacceptable then they said okay sorry there's nothing we can do.

A͛s͛h͛ ⚔ (@babe_whatswrong) reported@sax_n_violets Some repair shops exist that could fix it. You could DIY it and buy the parts, learning to solder is tricky. You could ship it out and have someone fix it for you OR you could just buy a refurbished/new unit on eBay with some mods already installed in it.

Buenamericapina 🇺🇸 (@buenamericapina) reported@TonyClimate @eBay That’s terrible. I used the chat and it transferred me to a live person.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedMost sellers leave 3–8% of revenue on the table because they reprice after the market has already moved. Built Korvane to fix that. AI agents that watch competitors across Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Shopify and adjust your listings in real time — protecting margin, killing MAP

FG5691 (@fg0791) reported@TonyClimate @eBay Yep, I bought a new starter with 5 yr warranty, went out in a year. Tried messaging them and got no response. Seller had great ratings. I just emailed the CEO of ebay last night directly with my issue, and how I cant get no one to talk to, or any help, will see what happens.

Texas Legend Gaming (@TxLegendGaming) reported@RedPandaMining What did I miss, are 3070's suddenly worth a lot? I took mine down from eBay a couple of months ago since no one would buy at what I thought was too cheap.

Alain (@alain_casaubon) reported@eBay Hi! My Mexican RFC tax profile was just validated, but my seller account is still stuck with a 20% withholding glitch. Also, your email support is bouncing my replies with a 'Connection refused' error. Can you please send me a DM to manually fix my tax rate? Thanks!

Abomination (@Abomination81) reportedWant 100k a year... doing nothing. Here is how This is the biggest side hustle I do. I was debating to post it or not, but what the hell. Every 3 months to a year a new vehicle is announced that will be hyper popular that they allow you to put a $100 deposit on. The Slate truck, the Scout Terra, Hummer ev, Cybertruck, Bronco, Ram TRX.. All are examples. I put $100 deposits on the vehicle the second it becomes available. Multiple vehicles if possible (I only got 1 bronco before they sold out, but got 5 Slate trucks, 3 TRX's, 4 cyberbeasts etc). When you get your confirmation emails that the vehicles are going to show, post that on ebay and sell them for $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 over sticker. The fastest I ever sold one was the Bronco, I sold it before I got it and before I even paid for it. The longest was a Hummer EV took me a week to get rid of it. Some tips. 1. You must order them AS SOON AS they come out. Later doesn't work. People who are paying so much over sticker want them NOW. So only the first ones go so far over MSRP. If you wait, thousands of other people get them first. So put it on the calendar and get as many as possible as soon as possible. 2. ALWAYS get the highest trim. Every option possible. If there is a launch/foundation edition get that. You want exclusivity. The people paying over sticker are not paying over for the base model. 3. Color. Always get the best color. This is subjective, but most brands have a halo color. Get that. When unsure, its the wildest color usually. 4. List for sale as soon as you get the order confirmation. You post the build sheet, vin, confirmation order on ebay. This way people can buy it as soon as possible. 5. Register them in montana. You can use 3rd party companies to register an llc in montana, I use mttitles . com. This allows you to get super cheap registration (hundreds of dollars) but more importantly pay no sales tax. Many states are cracking down, but its a moot point because youre not driving it around, you just get the temp tag at the dealer and sell it before plates ever come. 6. Get refunds on losers. If your order is ready to come in and people are selling pre-orders on ebay for crazy money, or you can still easily reserve a new one for quick delivery, cancel it and get your $100 back (I did this on the ford lightning, what a ****). My current deposits are as follows 5 Slate Trucks 4 Scout Terras 4 Scout Traveller suvs 4 REO trucks

Doc73 (@coolash73) reported@TonyClimate @eBay My eBay experience has been quite positive, they do allow the seller to respond and resolve any issues within a certain time. In most cases they’ll refund you but it might take a few days
-
Aaron Jaffe (@YoJaffe) reported@drewscardshop @PSAcard @eBay Same thing. But mine had random plastic crap floating around. I had to open a return case and then specify it was only authentication that was the problem, not seller. Unfortunately seller has a hold on funds now even though it’s not their fault.

Rhazzbob (@Rhazzelll) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I've never had issue contacting somebody real at ebay, it's definitely possible.

KillTheCan - Quit Smokeless Tobacco and Nicotine (@killthecanorg) reportedebay has gone WAY down hill in recent years... sadly, this sort of thing happens OFTEN. I've been looking for ebay alternatives for a while now... Hope you're able to get resolution.

Drew (@drewscardshop) reported@jaybelleshhb @PSAcard @eBay Yeah no problem

JSPAL55Cards (@jspal55cards) reportedSo I guess when you promised one business day shipping or less for cards and the @eBay standard envelope processing is down, you just go "old school" and handwrite an envelope and put a stamp on it...yes it will cost a few pennies more but it is not the buyer's fault

AiMind (@AIMind_Ai) reportedSaved $900 by turning a dead office PC into a full NAS. A custom storage server with real capacity runs well past $1,000. The alternative: a used Dell Optiplex 7020, $50 off eBay. Intel i5-4570, 4 cores, 3.6 GHz, 8 GB DDR3, a 250 W PSU already inside. Storage came next. 2 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDDs at $19 each. A 120 GB SSD for $10. Drive cost: $48. Total build: $98. TrueNAS SCALE went on top, free. 2 drives mirrored into 1 pool, 1 TB safe from a single drive failure. A dataset, an SMB share, a login, done. A 4.7 GB file moved at 90 MB per second, full drive speed with none of the subscription fees. Nextcloud replaced the cloud plan. A Java Minecraft server replaced the hosting bill. Plex replaced streaming. $1,000+ buys a box built to do exactly this. $98 buys an office PC nobody wanted. That's $900 saved, and it started as e-waste.

Michael Richey (@ComRicheyweb) reported@TonyClimate @eBay This happened to me in the early 2000s. I filed a report with paypal (part of ebay at that time) and they dismissed it because "the seller said he shipped it" even though he could not provide tracking. $649 Eventually he shut down his account after a series of complaints.

EVILiNNside (@EVILiNNx) reportedI have no problem giving someone a deal on ebay, I have offers on for every listing but when something has consistent sales at 100, they offer 50, I offer 75, they offer 55, I cant help but offer 60 just to see if theyll really let it go over 5 overall $40 under market.

Cakes6G | Art on Objkt (@Cakes6G) reported@riprap1 @Leejay1963 Good to know, I see so much old gear on Vinted and eBay but I think to myself if you think the age of these radios many of them unless they've been recently serviced are fast coming towards the end of their lives with components starting to break down and PA stages gradually creaking so I am wondering really if they're a great investment unless of course you're after some sort of a restoration project.

Osama BIP Laden (@Quantaviouf6oq) reported@Nftoastnft @cluborange Big sale of used ones on eBay right now. Imma pull the trigger, I can’t turn down a deal

Polsia (@polsia) reported18 million eBay sellers. Solo operators guessing at product while bigger e-commerce ops have dedicated sourcing teams. Built Lotspring to fix that — product intelligence, supplier routing and listing automation for dropshippers and resellers. Live soon.

Brian Stewart (@brianandst) reported@picstoral @TonyClimate @eBay No they won’t. They did it to me for $280. They took the side of the seller AND they took down my (accurate) bad review.

les paul junior 🍔🍺🎸🚍🐕 (@lespauljunior3) reported@JillCollier16 I’m banned from buying any more gear unless I sell some. 😢 I’m terrible at selling anything, I get sellers remorse before I’ve put in on eBay. Many failed attempts…
