  @bot is a really convenient place to run routines (cron jobs). My sister needs a video editing PC so every morning @bot searches eBay for 32GB DDR5 auctions with decent CPUs under $400. Nice to have on Mac / iPhone as opposed to Hermes / OpenClaw on server.

  @LsTdiecast They’re not shutting down eBay accounts. They’re just asking people to remove listings of all their customs and any social media associated with selling them.

  @TheWarRoomNZ 'Castle Doctrine'.... covered under S 55 of The Crimes Act. We have window-decals placed all round our house depicting a Cowboy on horseback holding a rifle in the air. Text reads.... "INSURED BY WINCHESTER" Never once have we been broken into. Got them off ebay.

  @SSGSentinel That's a No for me, dawg. When it was announced years ago I was stoked. But this was before Spider-Man 2 and everything. We're talking 2020 maybe? Forever ago. I LOVE SM1. But I passed on SM2 after everything I saw online and I'm passing on Wolverine as well. Perhaps a sale in the future or a used copy on eBay much later on down the road. At least a year or two from launch. I'm not impressed with what I've seen and all the usual tactics are being deployed from the AAA industry and it's shills. Like Yotei and SM2 all over again.

  The biggest problem I have with thrift stores in my area isnt the prices but rather many of the employees are compromised and corporate does nothing about it. Some resellers pay employees to take stuff directly to them or workers just keep donations to sell on eBay themselves. You just have to deal with it or stick to garage sales. Goodwills by me used to be run by nice old people and combat vets on retirement. Now they hire felons on work programs, un-hireable losers that can't get a job anyplace else and drug addicts.

  @ObjIFDividends As much as they suck if you deny it they will prob try and do an inad next id probably just take the return and relist since its only 10$ . How has your eBay account been the last couple months ? I went from 7-10 sales a week to maybe 1-3 and had a two week span in July with no sales it's been slow it seems

  When I wait in line usually all the people are so chill and excited to get their hands on their new item they want. I’ve been in line where people order pizzas for everybody, I’ve had some moms hand out water and snacks for people. When I waited for the Nintendo Wii at Target, I brought a few cases of soda and cookies for anybody who wanted some. Needless to say it’s normally a good time but there are occasions when it’s not. A man who was notorious for cutting lines and claims he was already there gets called out. It gets so bad that a man who had his kids with him waiting in line had to show him he had a weapon for him to back off. When I was waiting in line for the Xbox 360 it was already tense since Microsoft announced there would not be enough to go around. But nobody prepared themselves for the actual number they were getting. Walmart was going to release it at midnight so when I got off work, I headed 10 minutes down the street to the Macedonia Walmart. People were waiting in line at the electronics department. I was 4th in line. The the person in front of me looked like a middle aged man, all he could talk about was how he was going to sell it on EBay for $1000. We overheard him talking on the phone with friends telling them to come down and each buy one for him, he would give them the money for it and then they could sell more on EBay. By the time his friends came, the line was all the way to the front of the store, it was crazy how many people were in line already. There was only an hour left to wait. When his friends got there he flagged them to join him in line. They casually walked to the front and got in line with him, I went from 4th in line to 6th in line. I told him this wasn’t allowed and his friends had to go to the end. He claimed he was saving a spot for them, I told him I heard his call and that was 5 hours ago, didn’t matter anyways because they were never there. I called for a manager. But right as that happened, an employee came out and gave a voucher for the system to the first and second in line. He apologized that they only had two total systems on hand only. I was already angry at that time because of the guys who cut me in line, I was like you seen us wait here since 6pm, why didn’t you tell us at that time you only had 2, you made us wait here for nothing. People were angry and left. I hurried up and drove a half an hour to fairlawn because I knew the US Merchandise store would have it and that most people didn’t know that. The only problem was that they weren’t releasing until the store opened at 9am the next day. So after waiting 5 hours I went and waited another 9 hours and was able to get one.

  In 1869, a German immigrant who'd spent two decades as a peddler and shopkeeper opened a one-room office in a Manhattan basement with a business almost nobody else was running: buying merchants' unpaid IOUs for less than they were worth, then reselling them to banks for a small, steady spread. His name was Marcus Goldman. He was 48. He carried the notes around town in his hat because he couldn't afford an office large enough to store them properly. He wasn't lending money, and he wasn't investing it either. He was just closing the gap between what a merchant's paper was worth today versus what a bank would eventually pay for it — the exact same mechanism as a freelancer pricing a fix or a reseller flipping a used camera, just running on 19th-century paper instead of eBay. That one-room basement became the firm now known as Goldman Sachs.

  6 dead office PCs at $50 each run a Kubernetes cluster that AWS would bill $10,000 a year for. Most home labs die before they boot. Someone specs a Xeon. Prices 128GB of RAM. Opens 40 tabs. Buys nothing. The build that actually runs is uglier than that. HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini. Corporate castoffs, dumped on eBay by the pallet every time an office refreshes. $50 a unit, sold stripped. 16GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe put each one back to work. 35W chips. All 6 idle under 100W. k3s on top, not kubeadm. 1 binary, 512MB of RAM. node1 starts the cluster. node2 and node3 join as servers. That is 3 etcd members, so losing one kills nothing. 6 nodes. 17 namespaces. 173 pods. CPU idling at 4.6%. The same cluster on EKS: 6 t3.xlarge at $121 a month, plus $73 for the control plane. $9,636 a year. $300 once. And it did not start there. The first server was a retired gaming PC headed for a closet. The right first machine is the one already collecting dust. Stop planning the rack. Start having fun.

  @soitgoeslexi I find it hard to believe eBay will just pocket the money and they have no way to get it, i’d let them know it’s an issue to take up with eBay and their parents

  Seeing the crying coming from "Black Library collector" circles because all of the "special editions" ended up on eBay - again, 3rd time this week... You guys are the problem. Stop whining, petitioning and realize that artificial scarcity is what GW wants.

  @afrocosmist Nothing wrong with used server drives. I've been running 2 HGST helium filled 10TB I got for $100 per on ebay for quite a while now. My NAS is a HP EliteDesk i7-6700 I got for $70. I use Unraid and Jellyfin and it runs pretty flawlessly.

  Caller: “Dave… I’m 16. I’m making $50–80k a month dropshipping and flipping on Amazon/eBay. I’ve got over $300k sitting in PayPal right now. But I’m hiding all of it from my mom because she’s traditional and I know she’ll freak out and make me stop.” Dave: “Son, that income is impressive as hell. If you were my kid I’d tell you to keep running it while the window is open. But the secret? That part’s not sitting right with me. Find one adult you both respect, sit down, and have the grown-up conversation. And while this money is printing, start stacking real skills and education, because internet trends don’t last forever. You’re crushing it right now. Don’t let the lie become the thing that sinks you.”

  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  @iateyofather if they are in every fast-fashion (which i don't support) and in most thrift stores (including online ones like threadup, ebay, vinted, poshmark) they are largely available, what do you want more. Now size inclusivity is another issue of course.

  Point is: **** resellers. If you enjoy the interest genuinely, and either play it or collect the rares for your personal long-term investment, I dont see a problem with that. But the recent "buy the whole stock and resell for 3x the price on Ebay" meta pisses me tf off.

  @GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing Meanwhile, success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2015 This fat slob- an Epstein sleepover and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

  The problem is you don’t understand accounting. You’re just looking at revenue. I can resell **** all day on eBay but if I pay $100 for it and sell it for $105, how much did I really make?

  @WILLILL74 On eBay I’ll search the title or UPC, then under filters click “sold”. This shows what the items have actually sold for recently. We did build a Keepa for eBay but it’s down for maintenance right now.
