  @aphysicist The bigger issue is banks and governments buying their IT spares secondhand on eBay. Once that stock is gone there will be severe implications for billions of people. I've got a list of about 6 banks no one should go near. They're a serial cable away from catastrophe.

  $GME LAYER 1 — August 3 may be setting up a repeat of the March to May 2024 settlement pattern The March 2024 decline is important because GME did not immediately show a major FTD problem when the stock was hit after earnings. The large settlement imbalance appeared later. C+35 calendar days from the late March decline landed around the beginning of May, and the more meaningful activity showed up over the following trading sessions. GME FTDs went from only 941 shares on May 3 to 186,627 on May 6, 433,054 on May 7 and 525,493 on May 8, just before the May 13 and 14 price explosion. In prior GME settlement episodes, the strongest upside has often come after the raw C+35 date, with roughly two additional trading sessions and any holiday adjustment pushing the real pressure point slightly later. That is why September 8 through 10 stands out so much now. August 3 created a reason for participating bondholders to sell or hedge against future GME shares before those shares are actually delivered. Qualifying deemed owned sales can be made without the ordinary locate requirement, so some of that selling could fail at settlement and remain open into the Rule 204 window. The earliest August 3 cohort reaches C+35 on September 7, which is Labor Day. That pushes the first live session to September 8, and the usual extra trading day or two brings September 9 and 10 directly into focus. Earnings is also very likely to fall right around that same September 8 to 10 area. If GME suddenly rips, most people will probably point to earnings. But the more interesting possibility is that earnings provides the visible catalyst while forced settlement demand is already hitting underneath it. A strong report, an eBay update, or other material disclosure could also clear away one of the main information barriers that has limited GameStop's ability to use its $2 billion buyback authorization. LAYER 2 — The 35 trading day VWAP may be helping create the compression before the reset The August 3 exchange also created a 35 trading day VWAP period that runs through most of September, with the actual exchange expected to close around September 23. During that time, the final number of shares remains variable, so bondholders have a reason to keep adjusting their exposure. That gives the current weakness a real structural explanation. The same transaction that may have produced the first round of hedge selling on August 3 remains active for weeks, while the earliest settlement obligations are aging toward early September. The stock can stay heavy while the VWAP is still being established, even if pressure is quietly building underneath. The lower price also has obvious strategic value for GameStop. The company has $2 billion of authorized repurchase capacity, so every dollar lower makes any accumulation dramatically more efficient. A depressed stock price can shake out short term holders, move shares into stronger hands, and allow the company to retire more shares for the same amount of capital if it chooses to act. Then the structure changes quickly. Early September brings the settlement window and likely earnings. Around September 23 the VWAP is finished, the final share count is known, the exchange settles, and $1.4 billion of convertible debt disappears. If GameStop has been waiting for a cleaner post disclosure window to buy shares, this is the point where the setup starts getting very interesting. LAYER 3 — October is where the longer cycle, eBay and the $32 warrants can all come together A separate clock begins with GameStop's early May eBay activity. The longer GME recurrence points to roughly 105 to 110 trading days, which lands in early October. That means the longer cycle arrives after the August settlement window, after earnings, and after the September 23 exchange is expected to be complete. By then the floating VWAP is gone, the bond conversion is finished, and the capital structure is cleaner. October is not just another cycle date. It is the first period where the longer timing model arrives after all of the August and September restructuring has already run its course. Then there are the $32 warrants that expire October 30. Roughly 59 million warrants could bring GameStop close to $1.9 billion in gross cash if the stock trades high enough for exercise to make sense. That gives the company a very real economic reason to benefit from a stronger stock price later in the fall. If GameStop understands these recurring settlement patterns and already has strategic eBay developments or other news that can be disclosed after the bond exchange is complete, October becomes a very logical place for that information to matter most. The company benefits from the low price now because it improves accumulation economics, and it benefits from a much higher price later because it makes the warrants valuable and increases the usefulness of GME stock as acquisition currency. That is the larger setup: August creates compression, September brings settlement and the structural reset, and October arrives with the longer cycle, the eBay strategy and the $32 warrant deadline all pointed in the same direction. I laid out the longer version of this thesis in a separate post (PDF).

  🧵 the forgotten market the standard pushback on any marketplace founder (few are left) going after horizontal C2C: „it‘s too hard. We looked at this space (and lost a lot of money)“  the core mechanic is trivial:  1. build a a place to buy and sell 2. onboard regular sellers 3. onboard regular buyers 4. match them 5. monetize the network asset  It‘s 2026 and every country has a dominant horizontal marketplace that dates back at least 10-30 yrs Founding dates Desktop era Craigslist: 1995 eBay: 1995 Blocket 🇸🇪: 1996 Ricardo 🇨🇭: 1999 Mercado Libre 🇦🇷: 1999 Gumtree 🇬🇧: 2000 Leboncoin 🇫🇷: 2006 … Mobile era Vinted 🇪🇺: 2008 OfferUp : 2011 Depop: 2011 Carousel 🇸🇬: 2012 Wallapop 🇪🇸: 2013 Facebook Marketplaces: 2016 … Void 2026 Combined valuation of all of them ~$250B I‘ve been trying to find NEW startups over the past year that go after this market and asked investors I talked to if they can point at any. The only one I found that was geared at regular sellers horizontally was tradepost raising $4M last year.  Their last iOS update was 6 months ago and hope that just means a stealth v2 or smth is coming, because it feels strangely lonely.  Like the one lunatic from Switzerland with a tiny team of 2 1/2 and the monetary firepower of a spoon trying to win a ~$250B industry.  $250B only includes what‘s visible: 80% are throwing (un)used goods away or let them depreciate. So why are we/startups are not trying to solve this? It‘s not like it‘s a niche problem or the prize of winning is too small. We now have global solutions for almost anything and our horizontal C2C trade infrastructure is running on Pearl or Java (mostly isolated by country). The UI and UX are like asking kids today to play Command and Conquer and Halo (no, they are not as good as you remember, don‘t try playing them and destroy your awesome memory) there are two camps: a) everyone failed, so it doesn’t work b) verticals win and a newer third one c) agents will replace them I‘m not going to address a) for obvious reasons  b) logical vertical fallacy that consumer convenience revolves around having ten apps to sell or buy something (un)used. c) I see some agent probability for (non-discretionary) B2C and B2B, but C2C would require the 80% offline supply to be online in the first place (which agent is taking the picture?). Automation for regular sellers is still the right move (there is also some element of selling hobby though) But C2C buyers are more like treasure hunters. They love exploring, going to the flea market. It‘s a hobby/passion. Finding that vintage lamp from the 60s for a bargain.  My daughter went happily shopping today and it wasn’t about buying smth specific, it was about the journey much more than the destination. (I personally love discovering and hate shopping btw) We‘re not going to send agents playing beach volleyball and proudly tell our friends we automated leisure.  It‘s why so many of us spend so much time on x, when we could also just ask Claude: „give me cool things to read“.  C2C has this social/culture layer that‘s really hard to capture without a timeline/feed and C2C UI tooling (swipes, taps, maps, connections, etc).  It‘s not as transactional as „how many vitamins does chocolate have?“ We addressed „big market“ and „horizontal UI/UX app layer“  I guess the most important question remains:  Why did nobody solve this yet and users are now even going to private chat groups? The people who tried were beyond smart, well funded (we‘re talking billions that were burnt). Some managed to put a (big) dent in e.g. eBay like Vinted for fashion, but we‘re still ridiculously far away from a Spotify like dominance over the global horizontal C2C app layer. Many failed to win the grand prize. Cold-start funding would be the easy answer (there are many people on earth). This is missing a much bigger issue: we forgot how building C2C works.

  @Yoshegame >whining Don't be that guy. Just don't. It's not "whining", and you're being bad-faith by suggesting it is. If they're not going to give people an off-ramp and keep the bridge open without having to connect online, then they have no reason not to keep the service going when a full account with 3,000 Pokemon is barely 1 megabyte and 1 million full accounts is still not 100% of 1 terabyte, because a Pokemon is only about 300 bytes. They have no excuse when I can use a single $30 SSD and some flash drives in RAID for backups on an e-waste PC I got on eBay to store MILLIONS of Pokemon for pennies of electricity while they have BILLIONS for an operating budget. The rounding error to keep the service up won't hurt them any when a trip to Walmart is all it takes.

  @GoatBeardzDD @jackAskingQs I rarely go long GME options, if I do its random lottos. How I like to accumulate is simply buying every week or month and then when we go through the volatile cycles, swaps or big news then I look to sell calls against my shares. Last time I did this was the ebay merger news and price ripped up. Sold some calls and waited.. stock falls back down and I use the premium to buy more shares. In my experience when I have every emotion in my body telling me to full send my account on $GME calls (like what I feel right now) - is exactly when I need to clear my head and step back. We are playing a game of emotions against the market makers and players on the other end of this trade. Currently I am looking into building some long calls here which for me would be Jan 2027 and beyond but still for me this would be with money that I look at as risk capital. I have a meaningful position in shares so if the calls go to 0 I dont care. Just me though not advice obviously. My sell button is broke for the stock. Warrants are interesting. Personally I sold all of mine because I am not sure whats going to happen. Another strategy I will put on is selling a put where I am happy owning the stock and then using premium for shares or to pay for a call (if I see fit).

  Most people think building a six-figure online income requires venture capital, huge upfront inventory risks, or quitting your day job on a whim. Ryan Hogue proved the exact opposite. In his twenties, Ryan was grinding around the clock. He worked a demanding 9-to-5 as a senior web developer, taught coding classes at night, and took on freelance clients on weekends. The money was decent, but he had zero time freedom taking a single weekend off gave him serious anxiety. That is when he stopped trading hours for dollars and tapped into Print-on-Demand (POD) and scalable e commerce. Printful Instead of wiring thousands overseas for bulk physical inventory, he built digital assets that only fulfill when a customer buys. By steadily expanding across platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay, he scaled his side hustles to over $49,000 a month in consistent, passive cash flow. Here are the biggest rules Ryan shares with anyone wanting to start today: • Never quit your 9-to-5 prematurely: Keep your primary paycheck to cover living expenses while using your spare hours to build sweat equity without financial stress. • Occupy digital real estate: Physical real estate costs a fortune, but listing quality designs across multiple online marketplaces costs almost nothing. • Focus on zero-inventory models: Start with print-on-demand or digital products where you only pay supplier costs after a customer pays you. • Embrace the slow compound: Sustainable income is not built overnight; it comes from dozens of small listings steadily compounding over months and years. True financial freedom isn't just about making money it is about reclaiming your time. What side hustle or passive income stream are you currently building or curious to test this year?

  @XRPspider I totally understand your frustration, but you ordered them at a price that you agreed on and you received what you ordered. If you want a lower price you can get it at those locations. I don’t think I would feel comfortable doing this as a seller, but the seller goes to the trouble of finding items that they can mark up. That’s how it works. I resell on eBay. I search for hours for items that are low cost that can be resold. My Free People dress with tags may have only cost me $3 and resell at $50, but the work that I put into finding it at that low price is my job. I’m kind of on the fence on this.

  @4Miathebrave If you are going to purchase physical copies, I suggest the nitro store! You can find the copy you want to purchase, give the link, title and price to a proxy or middleman who will purchase it, store it until you pay for shipping and then send it to you! Or, you could obtain a Japanese address for free with a packaging forwarding service, make a nitro store account yourself, pay yourself, and then have it forward to you with no middleman required! There is also j-list, based in America, that sells the offical english versions of the games! It’s all in eng, is easy to navigate, and is domestic for you, so no proxy required. eBay is full of resellers and scalpers who buy up all the stock, and resell it for higher prices. If you have issues with limited stock always being sold out, please do not support or buy from the scalpers and resellers on eBay, as that will just make the issue worse. Good luck!
