  @ChrisBirdsall75 problem is people on this app see prospects like currency....well we have prospects x y and z...and they are ranked 1, 2, 3... so we could have beaten the offer made by the other team if our GM just wanted too... when that is not how this normally works... it's not an auction or Ebay...where everyone sees what the current bid is and can out bid it...that might be more fun for fans....but would be murder on prospects who see their names being tossed around knowing they are fixing to have to move...

  @WillieDJenkins1 the roomba at least does not do row by row it builds a map in its memory based on what it bounces off of and fills it in, and when it spots particular ***** spots does little circles around them and then heads off someone where else. Supposedly the new ones maintain memory of the rooms and so improve with time but idk. My roomba discoveries work on carpet. I actually bought them from ebay a few years ago when they were still more pricey. Amazon had off brand chinese replacement parts, and getting broken used ones were really cheap and i found the manual on ifixit or somewhere and just made a good one for cheaper than a new one and had a bunch of spare parts

  Gamestop is going to make a minimum of $600 million operational profit this year This number EXCLUDES interest from their cash pile which will likely be $200 million+ They also have a $230 million unrealised gain from their ebay investment and Ebay's share price has gone down, making the deal not only more likely - but cheaper This may feel like $10 in April 2024 in terms of the chart but the company is in a significantly better place now In April 2024 a significant recession could have still taken Gamestop out In August 2026 the company is rock solid. Only the apocalypse can stop Gamestop now and if that happened then who cares about the stock market

  @JacobsCards I've left eBay for multiple reasons but this seems like a real problem lately. Purchasing at peak pricing then realizing they overpaid is not the sellers fault. eBay is quick to authenticate over $250 but should handle all returns so they can see for themselves what was sent

  Why Rowpass: on eBay, Item Specifics affect discovery and purchase decisions. Researching and normalizing them across large catalogs is a data-operations problem—not just a prompting problem. Rowpass is being built to deliver scoped, validated catalog enrichment.

  Seven Straight Beats Bought AMD an 8% Haircut AMD earned $1.66 against a $1.55 estimate after the bell. Thirty-seven minutes later it was bid below Monday's close. Here is what the last half hour of the regular session already knew. AMD closed at $519.79, up 7.25%, on a day the Nasdaq 100 gained 3.37%. It reported after the bell and beat by eleven cents - its seventh consecutive beat. As of 4:37 p.m. ET it is bid $475.72, under Monday's $484.64 close. The whole session is gone and then some. The tape had already flinched: in the final thirty minutes of regular trading AMD fell from $526.72 to $519.79 on 2.3 million shares, the heaviest bar of the day outside the open, while SPY was printing its high at $773.41. HOW IT CLOSED A staircase. SPY opened $760.62, printed its low of $760.52 inside the first two minutes, and never traded there again - every thirty-minute bar the rest of the day made a higher low. It closed $771.28, up 1.80%. QQQ $723.68, up 3.37%. DIA $540.36, up 1.72%. It was broad: IWM +1.84%. SPX settled 7,736.52, NDX 29,733.16. Leadership was not subtle. XLK closed +4.99%, two and a half times the next sector (XLB, +1.96%). Three sectors finished red on a 1.8% S&P day: utilities -0.59%, energy -0.46%, healthcare -0.09%. Semis carried the index - SOXX +6.78%, SMCI +10.68%, INTC +10.82%, MU +7.55%, AVGO +6.58%, NVDA +2.53%. PLTR closed +29.37%. Credit never flinched. HYG +0.28%, TLT +0.77%, the 10-year near 4.64% and the 30-year at 5.20%. THE STORY One number refused to fit: VIX. 15.69 before the bell, 16.19 at midday, 16.50 at the close. Three pulls, one direction, on a day the S&P went straight up. Someone paid for protection into a melt-up all session. After the bell, they collected. THE SCORECARD The win: this morning's midday kicker read "rising vol into a rising tape means someone is paying for protection ahead of AMD tonight." VIX finished higher again and AMD is -8.3% from its close. That was the read of the day. The miss: the 6:50 a.m. thesis was semis rip while hyperscalers bleed. Half of it worked. Semis ripped. The bleed never came - MSFT closed +1.08%, GOOGL +1.13%, and only AMZN stayed red at -2.32%. Calling it a rotation was wrong. It was a melt-up with semis in front, and we said so at 11:30. The invalidation, triggered: the premarket post named the exact thing that would kill its own thesis - "AMD beats tonight and the whole complex sells anyway." AMD beat. SOXX is -1.85% after hours, NVDA -0.81%, MU -1.36%. So the alternative reading we wrote down is now the live one: this was positioning ahead of Friday's payrolls, and the semis were simply where the money was parked. And BRKR, flagged at 1:10 p.m. at $51.29 with "no opinion until it stops falling," closed $50.30, -21.79%, at a new low. Standing aside was correct. AFTER-HOURS Nearly everyone beat. Almost nobody agreed on what a beat was worth. Beat and paid: ANET $1.02 vs $0.86, bid $208 against a $190.33 close, +9.3%. BKNG $2.54 vs $2.44, +5.9%. WYNN $1.24 vs $1.08, +6.1%. AMGN beat by 69 cents and is unchanged. Beat and sold: AMD $1.66 vs $1.55, -8.3%. PINS $0.43 vs $0.30 - a 43% beat - down 7.7%. CPNG beat and is -2.7%. TOMORROW Before the bell: LLY (est $8.84), DIS ($1.86), UBER ($0.83), SHOP ($0.37), NVO, CVS, PSX. After: MELI ($8.95), APP ($3.75), EXPE ($5.06), OXY ($1.88), MET ($2.37), EBAY ($1.45), DASH ($0.48), and WDC ($3.27) - the storage print that either confirms the memory trade or breaks it. THE LEVELS SPY - closed $771.28. The entire day's range sits above $760.52. Hold $767.35 and the trend day stands. Lose $760.52 and every buyer from today's open is underwater. QQQ - closed $723.68. The midday line was $714 and it never got tested. It stays the line: under $714 means the AMD damage spread past AMD. AMD - Monday's close was $484.64. Bid $475.72 at 4:37 p.m. Reclaim $484.64 tomorrow and after-hours was a shakeout. Open below it and a seven-quarter beat streak just stopped mattering, which is a far bigger story than AMD. The market spent six and a half hours paying up for the companies selling the picks. Then one of them beat, and gave eight percent back before the parking lot cleared. The number was never the problem. The price was. Proof, not hype. @TheBenchTrades. Not financial advice. Educational only.

  Progressive spent $340 million on Snapshot dashcam analytics last year. He is 24 and built a better one on a $40 eBay dashcam He runs a fraud detection service out of a Cleveland apartment on a used ThinkPad X1 and a water-damaged dashcam he pulled from an eBay estate sale in September. Total hardware: $220. The model analyzes dashcam footage frame by frame and flags staged accidents, exaggerated damage claims, and pre-existing vehicle wear that insurance adjusters miss. He trained it on 40,000 hours of publicly available dashcam crash footage he scraped from YouTube during nights after his shift at the FedEx sorting facility on Rockside Road He posted a demo video to GitHub in October showing the model correctly flagging 47 staged accident patterns across a 12-hour test batch with 96% accuracy running on consumer hardware. A Progressive Snapshot engineering team member found it through a Hacker News thread three days later. Tricia Griffith mentioned the project by name on LinkedIn the following Monday - held it up as an example of "small-team ML solving fraud detection problems that consulting firms have been overcharging insurers for a decade to fail at." By December Progressive had wired $3.6 million into his account for the model weights and a two-year consulting contract to integrate the detection layer into the Snapshot product line rolling out to 24 million active policyholders this quarter Progressive runs at $60 billion in annual premiums on the premise that fraud detection at scale requires their proprietary Snapshot infrastructure. State Farm runs at $88 billion on the same premise with their Drive Safe & Save program. Tricia Griffith just paid a 24-year-old in a Cleveland apartment more for a GitHub repo than most Progressive fraud detection engineers earn in a decade

  The Christmas That Changed the Way We Shop Christmas 2026 may become the dividing line between the old internet and the new one. Before this Christmas, we searched for products ourselves. We opened a dozen browser tabs, compared prices, read reviews, searched for coupons and tried to decide whether the five-star toaster was wonderful or merely supported by a very energetic marketing department. After this Christmas, more of that work may be handed to AI. The shopping agent will not completely take over Christmas. It probably will not independently select every present, drain your checking account and explain afterward that everyone in the family needed matching electric bicycles. But millions of people are likely to let an AI agent perform at least part of their holiday shopping. That could include finding products, comparing prices, watching for discounts, assembling carts and, in some cases, completing purchases. The Pieces Are Already in Place This is no longer just a collection of impressive demonstrations. Amazon’s Alexa for Shopping can compare products, track prices, reorder household items and perform scheduled shopping tasks. A customer can establish conditions such as buying an item when its price falls below a certain amount. Amazon’s “Buy for Me” feature goes even further. When Amazon does not sell an item, its agent can purchase it from a participating brand’s outside website on the customer’s behalf. The customer still reviews the purchase, but the agent performs the work of completing the transaction. Google is building similar capabilities into Search and Gemini. Its Universal Commerce Protocol is designed to give AI agents a common way to communicate with retailers, payment companies and shopping platforms. The list of companies supporting Google’s effort is not small. It includes Shopify, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Best Buy, Home Depot, Visa, Mastercard and Stripe. When that many enormous companies begin building the same plumbing, it is usually a sign that someone expects water to start flowing through it. Visa Is Preparing for Millions of AI Purchases The clearest prediction comes from Visa. Visa reported that its partners had already completed hundreds of controlled, real-world transactions initiated by AI agents. The company predicts that millions of consumers will use AI agents to complete purchases during the 2026 holiday season. That does not mean millions of people will turn over their credit cards and tell a robot to “handle Christmas.” The more likely experience will be supervised automation. The agent searches, compares, monitors and prepares the purchase. The person gives final approval before the money moves. That may sound like a small difference from ordinary online shopping, but it changes where the real work occurs. Instead of searching Amazon for “best cordless drill under $100,” opening several listings and reading conflicting reviews, a shopper could say: Find a reliable cordless drill under $100 for someone who does occasional home repairs. Avoid professional models, check the recent reviews and tell me if the current price is actually a sale. The agent could then narrow hundreds of products to three serious choices. It might monitor the preferred model and buy it—or ask permission to buy it—when the price drops. The customer is no longer searching the store. The agent is searching the market. ChatGPT Is Taking a Slightly Different Road ChatGPT shopping is already live in the United States. It can search for products visually, compare choices and tailor its recommendations to a shopper’s stated preferences. OpenAI also says Shopify and Etsy catalogs are already integrated into its shopping system. Individual Shopify merchants do not need to construct a separate OpenAI connection merely to have their products considered for discovery. However, OpenAI recently moved away from making its original Instant Checkout system the center of the experience. Most shoppers will be directed into the merchant’s own checkout system, although companies such as Walmart can build deeper shopping experiences inside ChatGPT. That change is revealing. Finding the right product with AI is becoming practical very quickly. Completing purchases across thousands of unrelated websites is harder. Every merchant has different shipping choices, return policies, inventory systems, taxes, discount codes and payment requirements. AI can understand a request in plain English, but it still has to communicate with online stores built over roughly three decades. The intelligence is largely ready. The plumbing is still being installed. What Christmas 2026 Will Probably Look Like The most likely outcome is a mixed shopping season. AI should be very good at: Finding products that match detailed requirements Comparing specifications and recent prices Summarizing customer reviews Suggesting gifts based on someone’s interests Watching for price reductions Notifying shoppers when an item returns to stock Building shopping lists and carts Reordering familiar products Completing purchases through supported retailers It will probably remain less dependable when dealing with obscure websites, complicated product variations, unusual shipping requirements and merchants that have not connected their systems to the new agentic-commerce standards. In other words, the first mass-market shopping agents will resemble very capable assistants—not independent financial decision-makers. The human will still hold the leash. Why This Matters to Small Sellers For small online merchants, this could change product discovery almost as much as Google changed it during the early internet era. Traditional search engines depend heavily on keywords. Shopping agents attempt to understand the shopper’s actual intention. A person may not search for an exact product title. They might ask: Find an unusual railroad gift under $30 for a collector who already owns most of the common books. Or: Find a funny novelty license plate for a garage wall. I want something unusual, not a mass-produced motivational sign. An AI agent could search descriptions, images, prices, shipping information and customer requirements simultaneously. That gives small merchants an opportunity. A unique item from an independent seller can compete with a mass-produced item from a large retailer—provided the agent can understand what the item is. Accurate titles, clear descriptions, good photographs, correct dimensions and current inventory will become increasingly important. Product listings will have two audiences: the human buyer and the AI representing that buyer. Poorly written listings may become almost invisible, even if the item itself is excellent. AI cannot recommend what it cannot confidently identify. For Shopify merchants, the change may arrive relatively quickly because Shopify’s catalog is already connected to ChatGPT’s product-discovery system. That does not guarantee that every product will appear, but it gives millions of small businesses an entrance into this new market without requiring them to build their own AI infrastructure. eBay sellers should watch this closely as well. Used, vintage and one-of-a-kind merchandise is more difficult for agents to categorize than standardized new products. However, those are precisely the purchases where a capable agent could be most valuable. Finding a common toaster is easy. Finding a particular railroad timetable, vintage catalog or discontinued piece of clothing in the correct size is where intelligent searching could shine. The First Agentic Christmas Shopping agents will not dominate Christmas 2026. Most purchases will still be made through conventional websites and apps. But this could be the first Christmas when agent-assisted purchasing becomes visible to ordinary consumers. People will ask AI what to buy. They will allow it to search across stores. They will rely on it to judge reviews and compare prices. Some will permit it to complete transactions within carefully established limits. If those experiences work reasonably well, consumer habits could change quickly. Once someone discovers that an AI can search 40 retailers, compare the serious choices and monitor prices while they do something else, returning to ten browser tabs may feel surprisingly primitive. The agents will make mistakes. Prices will occasionally be outdated. Product details will be misunderstood. Deliveries and returns will expose weaknesses that controlled demonstrations did not reveal. Those problems will slow adoption, but they probably will not stop it. The underlying shift is already underway. Amazon has working purchasing agents. Google is building common retail standards. OpenAI is connecting merchant catalogs to ChatGPT. Payment networks are creating secure credentials that allow authorized agents to spend money without receiving unlimited access to a customer’s account. Christmas 2026 will not be the Christmas when AI completely takes over shopping. It may be more important than that. It could be the Christmas when people decide they no longer want to shop alone.

  I was just thinking about this today. If you take a 5-10 year horizon, where would you want to put your money? - Vintage? I think it's risky. I'll go so far as to say even big names like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays will start to fade. - Definitely not ultra-modern. Don't chase the new "color blast" or whatever every year. Wouldn't touch Topps Dynasty, which seems to be popular. - GOAT market is at all time highs and feels frothy to me. ------------- For me the play is simple, buy cool cards! People want unique cards (no base, no random parallels, but also no "case hits"). I'm talking image variations, autos (on-card), the kind of cards where you pull up eBay and you can't find any available. -------------- Cash might be the play. Take a little risk off the table and be ready to come back when (IF) things calm down. Sealed wax is a play if you can keep it sealed and know how to sell it (not for me). I do think the 2005-2015ish era is a little undervalued. A lot of big cards in that era that are entering HOF eligibility.

  My eBay sales have been slow lately…but it’s my fault. That might sound strange to say, but when you take full responsibility, you also give yourself the opportunity to improve. Instead of blaming the algorithm or saying people just aren’t buying, I looked in the mirror. I listed more items, went back and improved some old listings, adjusted prices on a few things, and simply got back in the game. Funny how that works. I don’t care what you sell or where you sell it. If you consistently take more action, you’ll create more opportunities to make sales. Too many people spend their time waiting for buyers instead of giving buyers more chances to find them. The lesson? When sales slow down, don’t look for excuses. Look for work. More listings, Better listings, Better pricing, More consistency. That’s usually where the answer is

  @OldJimZimmer Daybreak Games owned the Star Wars Galexies MMO until their licensing ran out with Lucas back on 2011. There was an emulator of it that would make 10-30k/mo for a few years after the fact. It could easily be relaunched now. I played Stargate Worlds MMO beta, but that ended up getting cancelled during production. With legalized RMT through ebay and AI, youll see these types of games come back, because they typically cost like $30-$100milly to create. Curt Schilling tried to make one, but funding was a major major issue. Plus he is iliterate, so it didnt quite work out. Golden Age of MMOs will come back, god willing.

  @xrtzbase GME dropping is actually exceptionally rare around the level it was at. The memecoin is essentially backed by a stablecoin until it's not. Now that 1.4B of bonds are being converted it has a few effects: - there won't be quite as much volatility farming, making GME now act less as a stable asset. - the balance sheet of teh company is better with less debt. Even with the slightly extra dilution, most of the move down was temporary shorting by bond holders to get themselves as good a deal as possible, so it'll bounce back. This also may have been something Cohen had to do to ensure a merged company with eBay is actually investment grade and not overburdened by debt. But more importantly, one thing the coin can do that the shares don't necessarily reflect in the lit market is an onchain supply shock. And if that's part of peoples goal (it'd certainly pump the coin - see what happened on launch day), then your dollars go further to accumulating more shares in the pool. That's actually bullish for the coin. And when the bond holders stop shorting after the vwap window, price will largely bounce back bc the stock was already at its stone cold bottom; Especially if there's a catalyst before the vwap, which could actually give bond holders a *worse deal* than they had previously agreed to, and that would force the price somewhat higher still, if not a tiny short squeeze. (Unlikely that there's a catalyst in the vwap though, but there's always tail risk).
