  DYGEN (@XelonMaster) reported 6 minutes ago

  @Polymarket GameStop is reportedly walking away from the $56B eBay bid and pitching a partnership instead — eBay would get access to its ~1,600 stores for cards and collectibles, plus GameStop wants a board seat. The reason is simple: half the offer was GameStop stock, and GME is down 28% since May while eBay is up 7.6%. The bid devalued itself. Polymarket still has “Will GameStop acquire eBay?” at 11% on $2.67M. That looks rich for a deal the buyer is reportedly abandoning — but check the resolution rules, since a JV almost certainly wouldn’t count as an acquisition.

  $GME I told you in the video you didn’t want to flounder below key support down here, and so far, that’s exactly what’s happening. Now your best bet is what I talked about holding this range then news breaks, maybe EBay, and creates an island bottom. The longer it stays down here, the more likely it is to continue to drop. I will say this, if you’re a long term $GME bull, and not some fantasyland squeeze fanboy, the risk to reward adding GME between 14-19 is there. I’ve still got my shares from $12, and honestly I have no idea why.

  @zebular0 @foxenflask I think earnings will be record breaking. Revenue down compared to last Q2 (because of the switch release) but absolutely gigantic profit and a big unrealised gain on the ebay position Volume will be high on earnings day, it might be released early again too

  I will not delete this time, that means as per the flawed system i do not have access to my .@XMoney account, that means i can't check for fraud, i can't verify 2 deposits from an ebay account i just added, i can't lock my virtual card etc.. etc.. This is a flaw in the system that i've exposed several times now. I realize it's my choice to delete or not delete. I already appealed this, i did the last time too. I said the last time i was going to close the xmoney if i had to delete it to get access. I lied, i didn't. But, i will this time if i have to. I say that meaning, if i have to delete before the appeal is seen, meaning more than 48 hours. It's a flawed system that xmoney is not accessible when your account is locked out, because you are being held by the ***** and x's terrible review system. This profile image is NOT a violation, and x knows it, but getting someone to fix it, it's another story. .@Chimpnnout

  @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.

  @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”.

  A couple furnished their entire apartment for $3,400 on eBay. Sofa. Dining table. 4 chairs. Bed frame. Nightstands. Dresser. Coffee table. Bookshelf. Desk. Desk chair. TV stand. 2 lamps. A rug. The same items at retail same brands, same condition, some still with original tags would've cost $9,800. They saved $6,400. Not by buying cheap furniture. By buying the same furniture on a different platform. Their friend a professional estate buyer who's spent 12 years sourcing, buying, and reselling furniture on eBay helped them furnish the entire apartment over 3 weekends. She said: "People furnish apartments at IKEA, Wayfair, West Elm, and Pottery Barn without ever checking eBay. They don't realize that eBay is where retail furniture goes to die at 40-70% off. People upgrade. People move. People divorce. People downsize. Estates get liquidated. Showroom floors get cleared. Warehouses get overstocked. And all of it ends up on eBay same brands, same quality, sometimes still in the original box at a fraction of what you'd pay walking into a store." She showed them 11 rules that turned eBay into the cheapest furniture store in the country. The husband said "why doesn't anyone know about this?" She said "because eBay has a reputation problem. People think it's a place for used junk and vintage collectibles. It's not. It's a marketplace with 1.7 billion live listings including brand-new, open-box, and barely-used furniture from every brand you'd buy at retail. The inventory is massive. The prices are a fraction. You just have to know how to shop it." Here's everything she showed them 🧵

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every online ad exchange on earth extracts over $500 billion a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to Yale Open Courses in 2008 for nothing. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. He is a Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed auditorium of Yale undergraduates. Polak covers the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making in 24 lectures. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option regardless of what your opponent does, pick it. Everything else in game theory is a workaround for the fact that dominant strategies almost never exist in real games. Nash equilibria. The point where no player can improve by unilaterally changing strategy. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants converges to one. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to the entity running them. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with a proxy bid. Treasury bill sales are Dutch descending. Each format extracts different value from bidders. Almost no bidder knows which format they are in. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes wins over defection in repeated games. Why the tit-for-tat rule outperformed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why almost every stable business relationship on earth is a tit-for-tat game. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants to know this material. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every corporate M&A negotiation is priced by consultants who charge $2 million a deal to apply the same equations. "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." That is the first rule Polak teaches every semester. He calls it the only rule game theory is entirely certain about. Retail traders violate it every time they add to a losing position because taking the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math is free. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a bid box, a trading terminal, or a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.

  Life hack #2 to save money: Learn basic home repair. Most house appliances and units are simple things. Just a few parts. You can ask Chat for help with an issue you have. What I have seen is that parts become obsolete fast for appliances, as well as HVAC units. This is why your repair guy will opt to replace your used units instead of repairing them. But you can find whatever part you need, used, on Ebay. And very cheap. I replaced washer transmissions with used units. The main board in my HVAC unit. Etc. That board hasn't been available new for years now. If I had called an HVAC guy, the repair would have been a new HVAC unit. $5000 or more instead of the $90 I spent on that board. Start with the simple stuff. Water heater not turning on? Maybe it's just the igniter, a $15 part. Over the long run this saves you a lot of money. Invest that money. This helped me to retire early.

  GameStop ($GME) considers withdrawing its $56 billion bid for eBay GameStop could abandon its $56 billion takeover attempt for eBay, according to Bloomberg News. CEO Ryan Cohen is reportedly reviewing the offer, although no final decision has yet been made. GameStop has not commented publicly on the report. GameStop launched its unsolicited proposal in May, offering $125 per eBay share, with the consideration split between cash and GameStop shares. The company initially held a 5% economic stake in eBay, but subsequently increased its position to nearly 10% of the company, becoming one of eBay's largest shareholders. eBay previously rejected the takeover proposal. Rather than pursuing a full acquisition, Ryan Cohen is reportedly considering a partnership or joint venture. Such an arrangement could allow eBay to use GameStop's roughly 1,600 US stores, particularly for businesses such as trading cards and collectibles. GameStop could also seek representation on eBay's board. The possible change in strategy comes after several months of pressure surrounding the proposed transaction and questions over its financing. In pre-market trading on Monday, GameStop shares were up around 1.4%, while eBay shares were down approximately 0.6%. $GME #GME #GAMESTOP

  Caller (Jake): “I’m 16, and I make around $50,000 to $80,000 a month doing e-commerce. “My mom has no idea. “She’s very traditional, and I’m afraid she’ll shut it down if I tell her.” Dave Ramsey: “You’re making $50,000 a month at 16 years old?” Jake: “Yes, sir. “I run Shopify dropshipping stores, eBay arbitrage, and a bunch of online businesses. “I have a little over $300,000 sitting in a PayPal account because my mom is joint on my bank account.” Dave Ramsey: “So you’ve been doing this for four or five months?” Jake: “About eight months. The first few months were slow, and then it picked up really fast.” Dave Ramsey: “Your mother doesn’t know any of this?” Jake: “No. All the money is in PayPal because she’s joint on my bank account. “I want to tell her, but I know she’ll be very skeptical of what I’m doing. “She’s always told me she wants me to take a traditional path, and I’m worried she’ll put an end to it.”

  When we were teenagers, my friends and I held reverence for hackers. One morning back in 2000, I woke up and heard on the news that someone had brought down Amazon, E-Trade, Yahoo, eBay, and CNN. Sweet. Sometime after that, news broke of the arrest of the perpetrator: a 15 year old boy named Michael Calce -aka MafiaBoy. I thought that was just the coolest **** ever because I was 15, too. There was this whole era where our parents, teachers, and other adults believed that just because some of us were adept with computers, that we were capable of terrible things like MafiaBoy was. The worst we were capable were isolated incidents at school or in public. I knew how to get into my schools grading and attendance system, SASI -but never had the ***** to change my grades. I added classes to the system like "RUSTY TROMBONING" and put in people I liked or didn't like, and gave them a grade commensurate to what I believed their talent in such an act was. Friend of mine in Colorado would get expelled from school around the same time for constantly getting printers throughout the school to print out The Hackers Manifesto as read from the movie Hackers. He got arrested a few years later after accessing the customer database of one of the big supermarket chains in his area.

  @DeItaone Problem is, what does eBay want with 1600 stores when not having stores still adds $ to the bottom line? Why should they alter their business to add physical stores at all?
