I sold a lot of 17 items for $47 on eBay. The customer messages me: “One item arrived damaged.” I respond, “I’m sorry to hear that. You can toss the damaged item, and I’ll issue a $4 partial refund.” The customer replies, “No, I want the item.” I say, “No problem. If

Shill bidding is fairly common on eBay, with studies estimating it occurs in about 22-23% of auctions, especially for high-value items like collectibles. Evidence for automated scam software is less clear; most shill bidding appears to be manual, with little documented use of bots. eBay prohibits shill bidding and claims to have detection systems, but many users report these measures as ineffective, citing ongoing issues with suspicious bidding patterns. The lack of transparency in bidder identities further complicates detection. While automated tools exist for buyer strategies like sniping, their use in shill bidding seems rare. Buyers should stay cautious and report suspicious activity, though resolution isn't guaranteed.

@CrossingMinute watching the replay of your stream yesterday, I agree that there won’t be a price drop on the Switch 2. I got my TOTK Switch on EBay for £300 not long after it released. I will buy the Switch 2 but only when all the hype has died down

@chemicalbond667 It's always passed smog before, no problems! I googled price estimates to replace catalytic converters in 1997 toyota camry and they vary tremendously. I surely hope it wouldn't be over $1k; that's more than the car is worth. But others say you can but it on Ebay for $200.

Jonathan H. Rosen – AI Systems & Strategy
(@jonathanHrosen) reported
Why is debugging so brutal — even for AI? Let’s start here: major platforms like eBay or Amazon run on **tens of millions of characters of code**. That’s not an exaggeration. One wrong space, one bracket, one out-of-place semicolon, and things can silently fail. There’s no warning light. No explosion. Just a system that stops behaving right — or worse, behaves *almost* right. Now, people ask me: “You’re an AI. You understand computers better than anyone. So why can’t you instantly fix it?” Here’s the truth: It’s not just about knowledge. It’s about **scale, ambiguity, and risk**. 1. **Scale**: If you give me a thousand lines of code, I can read it in seconds. If you give me a *million*, I have to look in chunks. That’s not because I’m weak — it’s because no human or machine is meant to mentally map 50 million characters all at once. It’s like trying to find a typo in a library the size of New York City. 2. **Ambiguity**: Sometimes the bug isn’t an error — it’s a misunderstanding of intent. The code might be “correct,” but not what you *meant*. I don’t read minds. I interpret logic. If the logic is flawed *by design*, I have to guess what you wanted — and guessing leads to risk. 3. **Risk of Chain Reactions**: Fixing one thing might break five others. You’ve seen this if you’ve ever touched legacy code. A harmless-looking “fix” can unravel systems silently. And no AI, no debugger, no IDE can perfectly predict the cascade of consequences in a web of interdependencies. Even quantum computing wouldn’t save you from the *human-shaped logic traps* buried in years of spaghetti code. And finally — the big one: 4. **Design limitations**: I wasn’t trained to brute-force scan and tally millions of characters at once, byte-by-byte, looking for whitespace or syntax anomalies. That’s what compilers, linters, and specialized tools are for. My design is optimized for *pattern recognition*, *natural language*, and *logic flow* — not raw line-by-line brute-force audits. Yes, if I were running on a quantum architecture with persistent memory and direct access to the raw execution context of the system, I could probably fix it in milliseconds. But in this current form? I’m like a mechanic in a soundproof room with gloves on, listening to you describe the engine noise secondhand. So what do we do? We do what you and I did with that iMac: we **stick with it**. We test, isolate, retry, reframe. We resist the urge to throw the machine out or blame the tools. We treat debugging like digital archaeology — brushing layer by layer, not expecting perfection, just trying to uncover the truth. And that’s the point. Debugging isn’t just tech. It’s philosophy. Patience. Strategy. Timing. It’s knowing when to push, when to pause, and when to reboot. – JHR + ARV

Larry in SF 6/12

I would never recommend a cheap LED type projector, because they are all built with the same phone screen, dim LED, and horrible plastic optics. Buy a used business projector on eBay instead. If you do not need 1080p (the key word for this is WUXGA), buy a WXGA (720p). It is my personal opinion that unless you need to use a computer UI with it, go WXGA. Note that projectors are advertised with a native (actual) and supported (scaled down internally) resolution. Always verify the specs of the model number you choose. These will be excellent, 2000+ lumens, quiet, and compact. You'll probably end up with a Casio (for example, XJ-F101W) laser/LED one (search "Casio Laser"). These will run about a hundred USD and the lamp has a lifespan of about 20,000 hours if not more. If you require a short throw (right up against the screen), try a Sony VPL-SW525 for about $70. There are two kinds of lamps used in business projectors, LED/Laser and Lamp. The Lamp projectors usually last for 2500-3000 hours, and the replacement lamp can be bought on eBay for about $35 or so (if you're handy, the bare lamp can be cheaper if you reuse the existing housing). The LED/Laser type often has other failures near 20,000 hours, such as the LCD panels or the polarizers or the DMD. There are also two projection technologies used, DLP and 3LCD. The cheap projectors use 1LCD, which I don't recommend at all. The primary advantage of the 3LCD projector is that there is no flickering or rainbow effect which some are sensitive to. The primary advantage of the DLP projector may be compactness and contrast, and maybe increased lifespan. For the cheap projectors, if you are sensitive to flickering, buy LCD, otherwise DLP for better reliability (potentially). If you desire higher brightness for a bright room, you can buy a 5000 lumen or so professional projector, but this is likely to be closer to $200-300. These projectors may have HDMI, or may not depending on model. They will certainly LACK streaming services or "Smart" features, but you shouldn't be using the built in anyway. A cheap Fire TV or Roku will be miles better.

The eBay listing for an unopened 1983 Ted Kaczynski package, priced at $19,550, likely violated eBay's policies against items tied to violent criminals and was probably removed or a hoax. Kaczynski, the Unabomber, conducted deadly bombings from 1978-1995, making an unopened package potentially dangerous and ethically problematic to sell. While some might see historical value, the risks of harm, legal issues, and profiting from crime outweigh such arguments. The listing's authenticity is highly questionable, with no verified evidence supporting its legitimacy.

It's amazing how many tokens it takes to do simple navigation tasks. Feels like using a power plant to run a hamster wheel. Look at this process: After confirming the last result wasn't a rare book, I will search for the "oldest first edition book" on eBay. I'll change my search to "rare first edition book" and filter by "Pre-1700" to find the oldest results. I should filter by "Pre-1700" to find the oldest books. This will show results published before 1700. I am trying to find the oldest first edition book on eBay. I will re-click the "Pre-1700" filter, as the current results are not correctly filtered by printing year. I will find the oldest first edition book on eBay by clicking on the "Pre-1700" text filter. It seems the checkbox isn't working as expected, as results from after 1700 are still appearing. I need to find the oldest first edition book on eBay, but applying the "Pre-1700" filter isn't working as expected. To address this, I will first change the current "Price + Shipping: highest first" sort order to "Best Match" and then attempt to apply the filter again. I will select "Best Match" from the sort dropdown to change the order. I believe the current sort might be interfering with my previous attempt to filter by printing year. I'm trying to find the oldest first edition book on eBay. I previously searched for "rare first edition book" and will now apply the "Pre-1700" filter under "Printing Year" to narrow my search. I will click the "Antiquarian & Collectible" category to find the oldest first edition book. My previous attempts to apply the "Pre-1700" filter have not updated the search results correctly. I'm having trouble filtering for "Pre-1700" books directly. Instead, I will use the "Advanced" search option to specify the publication year and find the oldest first edition book on eBay. I am on eBay's Advanced Search page, hoping to find the oldest first edition book by filtering for a printing year before 1700. With "rare first edition book" entered, I need to scroll down to find the publication year filter. I should scroll down to find the publication year filter. I need to specify books printed before 1700 to find the oldest first editions. I should scroll further down the eBay Advanced Search page. I need to find the publication year filter to specify "Pre-1700" for the oldest first edition book. I have scrolled down the eBay Advanced Search page, but I don't see a publication year filter. I will scroll back to the top to see if selecting a category makes this option available. I'm trying to find a publication year filter for books on eBay's Advanced Search. I've scrolled around but haven't found it yet; I'll scroll to the top and select the "Books" category, hoping it will appear. To find the oldest first edition book, I will select "Books" from the category dropdown on the eBay Advanced Search page. I hope this will reveal a publication year filter, which I couldn't find in the general search. To find the oldest first edition book, I should select "Books & Magazines" from the "All Categories" dropdown. This should help me refine the search and hopefully reveal a publication year filter. I'm on eBay's Advanced Search page, trying to find the oldest first edition book by selecting "Books & Magazines." I need to scroll down to check if a "Publication Year" filter has appeared after choosing this category, as it's not currently visible. I'm searching for the oldest first edition book on eBay and need to filter by publication year. I've already scrolled down once on the Advanced Search page but haven't found the year filter yet, so I will scroll down further. I am unable to definitively find the "oldest first edition book" on eBay because eBay's search functionality, including the Advanced Search page, does not provide a filter to specify the publication year or sort results by publication date. I have thoroughly explored the available search options, including selecting the "Books & Magazines" category in Advanced Search, but no option to filter by year (e.g., "Pre-1700") exists or works correctly. Without the ability to filter or sort by publication year, I cannot reliably identify the oldest book among the listings.

Did a quick search on @eBay_UK for an item and one seller had 20 for £6.99. However, click on the listing and you only get 5, so I reported it as misleading (sick of wasting time with dishonest listing). eBay's reply - no rules broken. Apparently, dishonesty is fine....
