  As written about months ago. $ETSY continuing to prop the stock up thru massive buybacks while revenue and net income continue to be pressured. Without paying down debt and shrinking margins, FCF cannot continue to be used to buy down share count. Employee compensation of shares is also excessively high for a company this size, over 10 million shares available for compensation. This cycle will break downward. Price target: $45/Share #etsy #ebay @CitronResearch

  Reselling discontinued products has been my bread and butter for years. Here's how it works: When a product gets discontinued, you become one of the last places someone can get it. Maybe it's not sold near them anymore. Maybe they don't have time to look for it. They'd rather click a few buttons and have it show up at their door That's where you come in. Finding these products is easier than you'd think. Head to your local pharmacy, grocery, or hardware store and look for: - discontinued price tags - clearance sections - dust on the products Stores with slow inventory turnover will have stuff sitting for months, sometimes years. If you don't have those kinds of stores near you, check discount stores, closeout chains, and bargain outlets. These buy closeout inventory in bulk so when a brand discontinues a product, this is often where it ends up, before most people realize it's gone To build a list of what to hunt for, search "discontinued" plus any category on eBay. For example, "discontinued detergent" pulls up every detergent that's selling. Do this across all categories and you'll never run out of leads. Before you buy a bunch of units, confirm the discontinuation. Go straight to the brand's website, since some list discontinued items or note it right on the product page. Another tip is to read the reviews. When something gets discontinued and hard to find, customers will be complaining about it. One last thing to keep in mind: discontinued doesn't always mean gone forever. Sometimes it's temporary and sometimes demand brings it back Happy hunting!

  @BristolGalt I once sold a car to "them" on ebay. Guy turned up with 12 of his brothercousins, clearly to intimidate me, and tried to haggle on the price that he had won the auction at. I ended up saying "pay the bid price or I'll see you in small claims court" and by some miracle they actually paid and left (not how I expected it to go down) Absolute insufferable behaviour, always. I try to avoid dealing with "them" as much as possible, but got tricked not long ago, by a guy selling a car in Leeds, that had a perfect Yorkshire accent on the phone. Of course it was one of "them" and the car was entirely not as described. Hilariously, the same car is still on Autotrader 2 years later

  Loneliness. (@xXBIOwarfareXx) reported 15 minutes ago

  I will clarify that apparently normal math says radiation can't cause this melting, and as said I do not have the case or front/clock back anymore, I do have the electronics and motor but I keep checking, there's no beta/gamma, so again unless it was alpha, but first picture is of it, second is of the one off of eBay, third is how I had them initially in my garage and is the best side by side with the clock that has radium but can I ask if there is a possibility I have deliberately not been given information?, there is more I can say on this but, my guess is that it almost looks like the one that did it may have sat on top of the one with radium? Also I don't know if they were plugged in at all or how long, which I think might make it worse but does it almost look like the radiation was attracted to the clock? If it was on top of should mean a reduced chance of radon(there is a thought on that as well(not blank)) and I don't know ventilation but also then alpha should have issues making to through the plastic?(Correct?), which points to beta gamma again. There's the option of just indirect heat to melt it but it still looks weird, also again nothing visible on the electronics of heat and nothing there but the clock. I have thought of things from the factory? Or what the exact "lighted dial" means, there was a clear?, portion I would have thought was LED but could it have been more?(There's no way there's tritium right? I didn't turn it on, and also wouldn't explain the melting?). I have also thought of cigarette residue, but I feel it still wouldn't explain I'm assuming a dose of anything from 0.25-0.5Sv, if it has to be done at one time and for there to be a timeline. I also have other thoughts of "how military connected" or otherwise this is because can you spot at least one more interesting connection?

  @Cleightron Yeah ram has been an issue. I am lucky I found an old dell server that I run proxmox on that had 144gb in it. So it hosts my home assistant and jellyfin. I buy everything off ebay or marketplace so I have been pretty lucky with ram. I really have an overkill setup tho

  @BlancoLycan @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser It doesn’t automatically protect them from negative feedback. Someone could say that shipping was slow and I have had that. I ship everything on time or ahead of the ship date. If the delivery carrier accidentally misroutes the package, I can’t really do anything about that as it’s out of my control. But Etsy or even eBay could see that as being valid feedback and easily could refuse to remove it. These platforms don’t always support sellers the way they should.

  @Gabriel1298125 @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser They can always make claims, but it’s easier to prove saying it was shipped with a tracking number. At that point it’s comes down to eBay. But if it’s given by image and never sent then the seller has 0 recourse

  @resellerrowe @DestinLabs The reason I ask is this guy gets literally a dozen of these sent to him as scrap a day and I feel like there’s gotta be parts we can strip and slap on eBay, but he doesn’t know anything about e-commerce and tech.

  @ResonanceEnter1 Dude, Ryan Cohen and Gamestop are buying up all the vehicles the establishment uses to launder money and steal from the American people, aren't they? How did I not put 2 and 2 together? I mean Wall Street was abusing the **** out of Bitcoin to destroy our investments. It was too easy for them to hide all their ***** trades and other tricks that emptied our pockets. All I saw in the media was "Bitcoin will be $200,000 at the end of 2026, and $500,000 in 3 years. We'll see $1,000,000 within 10 years!!!" I saw this everywhere and stayed away from it simply because it was the mainstream media pushing it. And then Gamestop announces it bought a bunch of Bitcoin lol. And what happens right then? Bitcoin crashes and does not recover. It still hovers down near $60,000. And the mainstream media suddenly goes quiet. I see nothing like i saw before. No longer pushing the "Bitcoin will make you rich" narrative at all. I then hear all this shadey stuff about EBAY and once again seems like something the elite are using to rob us blind. And you see the stock climbing and outperforming way more than it should be. So Gamestop announces it has bought 10% of EBAY and offers to buy it outright. What is happening? Lol it is crashing! I think the same think is happening with PSA and Pokémon. Gamestop is buying up all their vehicles used to do their ***** deeds. If they keep using them it will put money directly into Gamestop...which is the only company owned retail. Institutions own everything else...except Gamestop. Holy ****, their game is about to stop. Its bringing power to the people, I mean players. It was right in front of my face this whole time. And what is going to happen when the public finally sees this??? It will be insanely hard to get people to buy Gamestop because most of the general public is retarded and if the mainstream media doesnt directly tell them that Gamestop is good, they wont do it. Even though most people "think" they dont fall for the mainstream media narratives, they do. They will only do what the establishment tells them to do. But Gamestop is doing it slowly with a small portion of the public and it is working. This is hilarious to watch.

  Closed beta keys hitting eBay for $300 is one of those moments where the industry accidentally says the quiet part out loud. We turned testing into a resale market. At the same time, Nexon is banning MapleStory cheaters for manipulating boss clears, which is correct. But it’s the same trust problem wearing two outfits. One side breaks the game. The other breaks access. If your test pool is tight enough that people can flip entry for rent money, that isn’t just hype. That’s scarcity doing what scarcity does: rewarding the worst incentives in the room. Healthy anticipation looks like players wanting in. This looks like a black market wrapped around QA. Cheaters make wins feel fake. Scalped test access makes the whole "closed test" feel fake too. Different violation, same message to regular players: fairness is for whoever got there last.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  THIS GUY BOUGHT A $50,000 DATACENTER SERVER FOR LESS THAN A MAC MINI. I thought this was a datacenter tour. It's someone's office. Two enterprise rack servers sitting open on a desk, loaded with dual Xeons, hundreds of gigabytes of ECC RAM, and enough compute to run AI workloads that would cripple most consumer machines. Here's the part almost nobody realizes. When companies like AWS, Google, and Microsoft retire hardware after 3-4 years, they aren't throwing it away because it stopped working. They're replacing perfectly functional infrastructure that no longer fits their depreciation schedule. That means servers that cost $50,000 new quietly appear on eBay for $500-2,000. The CPUs still work. The RAM still works. The performance barely changed. Only the accounting did. Yes, they're loud. Yes, they pull 500-1000 watts. But if your goal is maximum local AI compute per dollar, consumer hardware isn't even playing the same game. Most people spend $2,000 on a high-end mini PC. This guy bought more RAM than many AI startups run on for less money than that. Hit play. Then tell me the used enterprise market isn't the biggest AI hardware arbitrage nobody is talking about.

  Imagine looking back a year from now and watching other people make thousands of dollars every month from what today seems like “just another AI idea.” The worst part won’t be that they started. The worst part will be realizing you saw the opportunity first - and did nothing. Why spend hours on repetitive work when you can build an AI system that works faster than any human? Here’s the blueprint. Google Omni powered by the Gemini Live API instantly recognizes products through your smartphone camera. The eBay Browse API analyzes active listings, competitors, pricing, and demand. Claude Opus generates high-quality, SEO-optimized product descriptions while minimizing the risk of factual errors. The result? Simply point your camera at an item in a thrift store, garage sale, or discount outlet, and within seconds you’ll have a complete listing with a title, description, keywords, and an estimated market price. What used to take hours now happens almost instantly. The monetization opportunities are obvious. The first option is to launch a Discord bot for resellers and sell access through Whop for $50 per month. Just 150 subscribers would generate around $7,500 in monthly recurring revenue. The second option is to use the system for your own resale business. Find products with profit margins starting at $50 and scale the process to approximately $2,500 in monthly profit, depending on deal volume, inventory access, and operating costs. This isn’t just automation anymore. It’s an AI agent that helps you discover opportunities, analyze the market, and reduce the time between finding a product and publishing a listing to just seconds. While most people are still reading about AI, others are already building businesses with it. The only question is: which group do you want to be part of

  The leaked Coca Cola formula For more than 140 years, Coca Cola has claimed its secret recipe has been locked away inside a secure vault in Atlanta. But historian Mark Pendergrast says he uncovered what could be the original 1886 formula created by pharmacist John Pemberton. According to Pendergrast, the handwritten recipe was passed down through the family of Frank Robinson the man who named Coca Cola and designed its iconic script. The story gets even more interesting. After a bitter dispute with Pemberton, Robinson allegedly made his own copy of the formula, hoping to sell it to another buyer. Decades later, the document became the center of a divorce battle before eventually ending up in the historian’s hands. Another alleged Coca Cola formula later surfaced on eBay with a $5 million asking price. The leaked formula: For 36 Gallons 216 lbs of sugar 18 gallons of water 29 oz of lime juice 29 oz of citric acid 18 oz caffeine 29 oz flavouring 3 quarts of colouring 15 quarts [fluid extract] coca Coca Cola flavouring 1 1/2 quarts of alcohol 12 oz [fluid extract] nutmegs 19 oz extract of vanilla 13 d [illegible “drops”?] oil lemon 10 d oil cinnamon 12 d oil nutmeg 12 d oil coriander 12 d oil neroli One of the most surprising details is that early Coca Cola reportedly contained traces of *******, which historians say were removed around 1903. Coca Cola rejected the claims, saying that many have tried to uncover the secret recipe, but the real formula remains safely locked away in its Atlanta vault. So was the leaked formula the real thing or does Coca Cola’s greatest secret remain untold?
