bad robot ventures (@foxenflask) reportedFrom 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business and the margins have become stagnant at best, and way behind at worst. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

BetaRadish - kicked Dozy into the water (@BetaRaddish) reported@Gammitin @uhf_satcom Sweet. I’ve seen some beaten ones turn up on eBay from time to time and I’ve considered getting one to tinker with. What sort of experience be do you have with it? Is it one of those frustrating to fix bug amazing when it works things?

The Bitcoin Woodchuck 🤲🐢 (@OracleOfTexas) reported@Amy_Bps Well , let’s tag him again. @ryancohen Without doxing myself - as the **** talking woodchuck isn’t exactly PC - the human behind said account had a very large and successful eBay business. (Sold on other retailers as well). Someone bought me out in 2020. Make no mistake - the company is poorly run. (Sellers are mistreated). But the product is great. I thought selling on eBay was always easier and quicker , especially compared to trademarks with Amazon. (I had my own brand). But. When you got a terrible customer , or a scammer , zero assistance from eBay I got big enough eventually where I could eat the cost - but starting out it was extraordinary painful. A eBay type site with Chewy customer service is a home run.

R1Stephanie (@R1Stephanie) reported@bigern_ern @Rivian I got this fob when we bought Mevie so I don't know how much. I bet you can buy off ebay. I can't really get into details but we discovered we got a fob for another truck. We tried to pair what we got with Mevie and....she's....got more parts than stock so the mechanic couldn't pair it yet. This is the type at the shop that enjoys difficult issues and even he looked like he got finished with the SATs after trying to figure what was there. So... I'm deep in another rabbit hole and like the mechanic thoroughly am enjoying the unicorn.

mark t (@markt83101520) reportedI think still possible even though it broke that latest low. Hmm so if GME was going down the whole time it increased its ebay holdings, what happens if they sell and net profit? Could be why Koss was popping back up, pricing in GME selling ebay options. 🤔 KCS

Zac Alan Cichy (@zcichy) reported@XRPee1983 @Cliffracer56k I just don’t know when I’m gonna see another functioning Jag CD for less. The cheapest I’ve seen was a broken one on Ebay about 6 months ago for $650, by itself. It’s my grail console.

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reported🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

Caribbean Bacchanal (@EL_Skunto_44) reported@PokeCardsDaily They should’ve put the inner sleeve upside down so the tape doesn’t damage the card I had this same thing happen to me more than a couple times from eBay sellers

Warrior Aspie (@warrioraspie) reportedGM y'all! Here's the new project. I work on an SAR team and I have ATAK integrated with mesh on my phone but it's a pain to have to pull it out and look at it all the time while I'm working. So, new plan: Im going to find a cheap old GPS only Samsung Galaxy watch4 on eBay and use it to mirror my phones offline Google maps. I picked that watch because I need a smart watch that uses Wear OS because that will allow me to access and run actual Google maps natively within an app already designed to use them. Once I'm done I'll be able to have my watch running my location on gps and I just have to glance at my wrist. A lot less annoying than having to pull my phone out of a pouch or drop it down to look at it. Not a major problem by any means but fixing a small annoyance is still worth it.

SlabSquatch Sports Cards (@WaxMetrix) reported2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome NFL Analysis Keeping this one shorter than usual as I have a ridiculous amount of analysis to do over the next few days. If you are a fan of Cosmic, you know what you're getting. This one has everything you expect from the brand. If you are not hip to the Cosmic game, you're getting a fantastic looking product with a cohesive theme, centered around rare inserts with autos being the cherry on top. Part 1: The Basics Cosmic NFL drop via EQL tomorrow- Friday June 19th. Drop price is $650/box. Well, that didn't take long. We have our first WTF. Though Cosmic is always popular, we really need to install some goalposts here. The NBA version of this product, with its epic rookie class, pre-sold at $580 but then took a ridiculous jump for release day to something like $750. It didn't take long for people to realize it's pretty easy to get massacred at that price. Prices remained stagnant from there. These can still be snagged for $800 on ebay. Topps is effectively attempting to put flippers out of business. And $650/box for a lackluster NFL class should make moves to accomplish that goal. Part 2: Production numbers Total cards in product: 4,632,600 Compare this to 2025 Cosmic NBA: 6,355,200 At least they made 27% less of this than the NBA version. As they should. Total Production by format: Hobby- 57,770 boxes (7,221 cases) In addition, we have what has come to be known as a Cosmic staple- the elusive Lunar Boxes. Extremely tough to hit, these "God boxes" are some of the most exciting and valuable chases in the hobby, and these are even better than usual. Typically, each PACK of a Lunar Box contains a blood-red Lunar Parallel /10 and a better chance at hits than a typical box. Based on odds, Lunar Boxes in NFL also contain 5 autos/box. Not a typo. They went from a "better chance at autos" to a full-blown auto extravaganza. Total Lunar boxes produced: ~138 This means your odds of landing a Lunar Box are 1 in ~420 boxes (1 in 52.5 cases) If you are lucky enough to pull one of these, you won't know until you crack the seal and notice the packs say "Lunar". At that point...take a deep breath. You have a decision to make. Those packs sell for a few hundred each, making an entire box worth maybe $6k give or take. Congrats, you won life that day. Part 3: Heat Map Here's what you can expect from a box of Cosmic NFL: 0.34 autos (1 in 3 boxes should contain an auto, or 2.7 autos/case.) 5.4 parallels 10.6 inserts 2.4 numbered cards Lunar Box: 5 autos 26.4 parallels 14.75 inserts 30.6 numbered cards An infinite amount of Aura. Now let's cut to the real chase- Rare Inserts. Cosmic is busting at the seams with rare inserts, and many of them are amazing. For Cosmic NFL, the rare insert list will include Light Years, Cosmic Dust, Cos-Play, Supernova, Starfractor, Planetarium, and the wildly popular Planetary Pursuits. I suppose we could also include Constellations in this, although they are technically parallels here. Your chances of pulling a rare insert from a box is better than your chance of pulling an auto. Combining all the rare inserts listed above, one of these should fall 1 in ~1.75 boxes, or 4.6 per case. 57% of boxes should contain a rare insert. Planetary Pursuits alone should fall 2.1 per case with ~47% being the most common variety, Sun. As far as the checklist goes, namely for Planetary Pursuits..I think it's solid. Maybe not amazing. I love that Mahomes has Planetaries. Those will hit hard. I have to wonder when Topps will get rights for Mahomes autos. I know I'm a homer being from KC and all, but the lack of Mahomes autos leaves a serious void in current licensed NFL products. Meanwhile Panini is laughing in their face and producing a product the price of a car that's basically all Mahomes autos. It's like trying to put a quick 10k miles on that rental car just because you can. Part 4: Value Map Based on drop pricing of $650. $/card: $8.13 $/parallel: $121.04 $/auto: $1,911.76 $/numbered card: $270.83 Part 5: What Would the Squatch Do? First let me clarify- I love me some Cosmic. Cosmic boxes are some of the most fun to rip in the hobby. They can also be a gigantic kick in the nuts. Not so long ago, when they were $300-$400, this was doable. At $650+, that fun turns to stress real quick. If I were planning to flip these, I'd be worried. They might do fine. Then again, they might not. I'm sure the "La Carda Nostra" trinity of Topps/Blowout/DA will manipulate the resale market to appear like they're spking in price. Cosmic NBA appeared to be over $1k/box for about 5 minutes too. Don't buy into it. It sucks that the joy has largely been squeezed out of these for rippers. Because they truly are a fun rip at the right price. I think that price is somewhere south of $650. This one screams "Buy singles!" If I'm joining the party, I'm saving the stacks I would have used to rip a few boxes and buying some cool rare inserts of my guys. Planetary Pursuits are phenomenal. Constellations are outstanding. Planetariums are extraordinary. Supernovas, Starfractors, Cosmis Dusts...it's like a candy factory of rare inserts. Maybe that means some will end up being affordable because there are so many options. That's what I'm doing with Cosmic. Let everyone else get kicked in the beanbag while I cherry pick my PC cards. Part 6: Print Runs Base cards per player: ~25,250 Base rookies: ~11,580 ea Unnumbered parallels: Refractor- ~580 ea Nucleus- ~300 ea White Hole- ~75 ea Rookie Refractors- ~580 ea Rookie Nucleus- ~300 ea Rookie White Hole- ~75 ea Unnumbered Inserts: Light Speed (35 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Extraterrestrial Talent (25 card CL)- ~5,790 ea Stars in the Night (25 card CL)- ~5,780 ea Star Clusters (15 card CL)- ~5,515 ea Rare Inserts: Light Years (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cosmic Dust (20 card CL)- ~83 ea Cos-Play (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Supernova (25 card CL)- ~83 ea Constellation (100 card CL)- ~24 ea Starfractor (100 card CL)- ~35 ea Planetarium (25 card CL)- ~86 ea Planetary Pursuits (10 card CL): Sun- ~725 ea Mercury- ~360 ea Venus- ~180 ea Earth- ~120 ea Mars- ~72 ea Jupiter- ~36 ea Saturn- ~18 ea Uranus- ~9 ea Neptune- ~5 ea Pluto- ~4 ea Unnumbered Autos: Cosmic Chrome Base Autos (68 card CL)- ~40 ea (I know. The odds say these are easier to pull than Green Space Dust Autos /75, so how can there be less of them? These are never all inserted into a product. Some are withheld for damage replacements, or it's possible not every player signed certain parallels. Whatever the reason, only ~30 of each Green /75 are inserted into the product. Additionally, only ~36 of each Gold /50 are inserted. This is not uncommon. I've talked about this in the past and it's just not worth dwelling on. This will not make the expected pull rate of autos go down.) Solar Flare Signatures (26 card CL)- ~50 ea Equinox Autos (29 card CL)- ~45 ea First Flight Signatures (25 card CL)- ~50 ea #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #2025CosmicChromeNFL

Tru Arte (@MrHuntinNoobs) reported@ebay I have a genuine question. How come when I look for an item sold it is not in chronological order? Like the most recent order should be at the top of the page I'm looking now and the most recent order is 15 to 20 items down but you'll have an item that sold in May above it

Scott Sleepy (@scott_sleepy) reportedRunning the numbers with Grok, GameStop is over-leveraged buying eBay. Hear me out - if they acquired Chewy now, this gets them the free cash flow needed to support that loan while Ryan turns around eBay. Structured correctly, this allows them to hit the $32 Warrant strike price. Chewy is in an extremely advantageous position for this right now. Their stock price is a steal, they are largely done with the major CapEx for growing their distribution centers (which can be further leveraged in NewCo), and have strong and growing Free Cash Flow. The price is right. The cash flow supports the loan. Ryan can focus on eBay when he gets it. And he can manage/improve Chewy in his sleep. CRITICALLY - $GME will be volatile after an acquisition like this, and Ryan can issue an ATM into a squeeze. The big squeeze comes later. A small one in the interim can, with an ATM, basically let Ryan buy Chewy for free.

nugz (@nugz_____) reported@davidonchainx For sure But why not buy CARDS Gacha is the big thing now, but the small piece of the pie in the future imo The marketplace has a chance to take meaningful share from eBay and other sites that charge ~15%, have shipping issues, fraud issues, etc Marketplace is how this goes to billions

cats collectibles tcg (@Catscollecttcg) reportedFor as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to create a TCG When I was a kid, we used to take the Pokemon figures you could get from ebay like 150 fake pokemon 1” toys for $25 I used to make them have levels and states and make gyms and an elite four In my 20s I made a game very similar to how one piece turned out but I didn’t know much about game balance and I even got the first full set printed and we did a little “pre release” event. But printing is expensive and artwork etc; so I gave up The last 2 years I’ve been working on a TCG working on mechanics and how to do it, proof of this is @AQuarterRican actually printed over 600 cards, but very much still in the testing phase and it’s hard to find the time. But @SteeloAndKri of all people made me think of an idea I just never thought of. A Cats TCG? What if I took my original idea that I’ve been working on but build lore and cards around our brand? Now this isn’t “THE NEXT MAGIC KILLER” this is just a fun idea, and not TOO expensive, I can have packs made from Alibaba, korrie and I can pack them and sell them for like $1.99 a pack. I’m going to put my thoughts down below!
