    @ValueAddedRS @ryancohen Don’t worry. If eBay doesn’t sell, Cohen will build the competitor that takes them down. He’s getting free exposure making his case for why eBay should fail. Users and staff are listening. The best ones will stay if eBay sells. They will leave for what Cohen builds if not. Last time he built an online platform, he needed human coders. And still beat Amazon. He’s already got the plan. But he’s honorable enough to give eBay a chance to save themselves and their shareholders.

    Let me try and explain what this means (for those in the back). 1. $GME pays 50% of the eBay acquisition costs in cash. This buyout pays existing eBay shareholders (if they choose to do so) $125 for their stock 2. Authorized shares are what the company CAN issue, but are not yet issued issued. 3. If approved, GME can issue another 1.5b shares 4. Instead of selling those to the market which causes dilution, the plan is to ROLL them into ebay by exchanging current shareholder stock OF eBay with an equivalent number of GME shares If you're holding eBay shares at the time of acquisition, your stock will be valued at $125 per share. If GME is valued at $25, you'll receive 5 shares of GME in exchange. New stock is not being issued and sold in the open market (this time)... its exchanged 5:1 ( $GME : $EBAY )

    @ValueAddedRS @mtbarra What do they even need employees for let alone a bar at work!? 2.5 billion spent on marketing and how much money wasted on these “employees” everything on eBay is independent sellers. You should only need a server and IT department. Corporate America is comically fraudulent.

    You mean you don’t want to work for less than minimum wage? That being said, if I’m already working from home and you just want me to buy things on eBay using your money, not terrible.

    Mike is right! It’s a HUGE problem. I just had one returned because of an indention you could only see through a microscope and they claimed it wasn’t NM which they then argue is a PSA 7 if it’s to their advantage! @eBay is making it harder and harder for #thehobby

    @ryancohen This chart is poorly formatted. Their expenses rose 1.19b and you marked this as red. Last time i checked, Number go up = green. You cannot be trusted at the helm of EBAY if you cannot fix your mistakes.

    Hearing a lot of complaints about Inventory Lab lately. If its not working for you, you may want to check out PrepShipHub. Starts at $39 a month. Supports Amazon, Walmart, Ebay and Shopify. Has a warehouse feature that is great for holds and those storing products. Has a returns module that alone is worth the price of admission. They offer 30 day free trial. Have discord channel with access to instant support. No its NOT my software, but the owner of my prep center created it to address issues they had managing their prep center with existing listing/shipping software so I've been a user for 5+ years from the PC side and been using since launch of individual user side. Love having reporting on our Walmart, Ebay, Shopify and Amazon all in one place!

    I have been trying to get a replacement for 3 weeks for a broken @HuionTab tablet. I've had no help whatsoever, and they made it impossible for me to get a refund through eBay. So now I'm screwed out of $700 and they refuse to replace the defective unit.

    A guy bought a 2017 server GPU on eBay for $100, bolted it to a PCIe adapter with a 3D-printed fan shroud, and ran a modern LLM at 130 tokens/sec. It beat the RTX 3060. The frontier isn't always where the marketing budget points.

    You explained it so well on your show a couple days ago… the warrants are the dilution, eBay shares holders get more shares, gme holders shares are worth more, incentives us to cash out warrants AKA dilution that is not a “true dilution “…. I think you are right and said it perfectly… please fix if I screwed any other this up :)

    @ThePPseedsShow @ryancohen is not working alone. The announcement of the Boston arrests three days before the eBay deal speaks volumes. The alleged crime is insider trading on merger and acquisition deals.

    $GME sorry folks but the eBay acquisition will nuke your share price, what you need now is hope that the acquisition shows fruits.. eBay has a monopoly and moving forward if they integrate selling of games cards etc into the eBay platform it makes sense for a company like GameStop.. at scale problem is gaming is also dying a slow death and becoming more personalized.. its more about micro transactions as a revenue source than consoles or games themselves.. if this was 20 years ago.. great buy… now? Yeh not so much.. I think ur all actually fukt

  • roselleavenue
    Roselle Avenue (@roselleavenue) reported

    @AllRise1127 @CardPurchaser Not a criticism. But it's amazing to me that like 90% of sellers on eBay have no real idea how the FVF actually works. Particularly for low end stuff. On cheap cards under about $5, the ACTUAL total fee can be as much as 25-30% of the sale price. More if you're promoting, which most are. I can't wrap my mind around the idea that people don't sit down with a pen and paper and calculate out every scenario. Never, ever trust that a commissioned third-party (eBay, in this case) marketing will match reality. Successful businesses know costs down to the absolute penny. Literally.

  • BullTheoryio
    Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported

    BREAKING: eBay just rejected GameStop's $56 billion takeover and called it "neither credible nor attractive." eBay stock is sitting at $107, nearly $20 below the $125 offer price. The market has never believed this deal was real. The core problem is GameStop is a $12 billion company trying to buy a $47 billion one. The $20 billion financing letter from TD Bank only kicks in if the combined company qualifies for an investment grade credit rating and Moody's already came out and said this deal would hurt eBay's credit, not help it. Michael Burry sold his entire GameStop stake the moment this offer was announced and warned it would bury the company in debt. Cohen's response to all of this was: "I'm not going away. I'm a pain in the ***." He has already said he will take the offer directly to eBay shareholders if the board says no.

    @macncheetos @GregIsKitty @ryancohen We’re massively outperforming eBay in that period. The WHOLE point of me correcting you is simply, you cannot go off a chart alone, you have to understand why it went up/down/overperformed/underperformed. It’s a matter of fact, not a matter of debate. Like I said, I’m not

    @rorysutherland I don't want them to be successful at this (and therefore charge 10% more) success for my friend involves buying badly described and photographed good things, and polishing up the images and description to sell at a profit on ebay. I want my Amazon prices held down thank you!

  • Elomletter
    Elom Letters (@Elomletter) reported

    eBay's Board of Directors officially rejected GameStop’s unsolicited $56 billion acquisition offer, describing it as "neither credible nor attractive". eBay Chairman Paul Pressler cited significant uncertainty regarding GameStop’s ability to finance the deal. The $125-per-share offer consisted of half cash and half stock, but analysts noted that the much smaller GameStop, valued at roughly $11–12 billion would have to take on massive debt or significantly dilute its shareholders to cover the cost. The board stated it remains confident in its standalone strategy and existing management, dismissing GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s proposal to use 1,600 physical GameStop stores as "fulfillment and authentication hubs". eBay also expressed concerns over GameStop's corporate governance and the proposed leadership structure. @gamestop ( $GME) Shares fell approximately 4.1% in premarket trading following the news. @eBay ( $EBAY) Shares were down roughly 1.1%, trading at approximately $107, well below GameStop's $125 offer price, indicating that the market had already doubted the deal's feasibility. Ryan Cohen has previously signaled a willingness to go hostile, potentially bringing the offer directly to eBay shareholders or launching a proxy fight for board seats if the unsolicited bid was dismissed.
