  I’ve been a gamer since 1998. I don’t think I’ve EVER had this much trouble getting a physical game on or shortly after the release date. My entire life, there’s always been a standard that if you wake up early and go to your local video game store, you can get a copy (if you can get there before a line forms or they sell out). And even then, there’s copies that restock shortly thereafter. It’s been two weeks. Ya’ll should be embarrassed by the current eBay listings. Yes I saw your posts @bethesda @BethesdaStudios saying more copies are coming but this is ridiculous. September is next week and NONE of the stores or their websites have any copies.

  @WILLILL74 On eBay I’ll search the title or UPC, then under filters click “sold”. This shows what the items have actually sold for recently. We did build a Keepa for eBay but it’s down for maintenance right now.

  @Joe2ShiestyLit Here’s the issue. When these 3 companies started to use AI, they just left it at that. - eBay - YouTube - Facebook They let AI be the end all be all, when they know it makes mistakes. YouTube will fall soon enough.

  The problem is you don’t understand accounting. You’re just looking at revenue. I can resell **** all day on eBay but if I pay $100 for it and sell it for $105, how much did I really make?

  Seeing the crying coming from "Black Library collector" circles because all of the "special editions" ended up on eBay - again, 3rd time this week... You guys are the problem. Stop whining, petitioning and realize that artificial scarcity is what GW wants.

  The professor who designed America's health insurance system covering 330 million people teaches this class for free on YouTube. His students have gone on to advise governments, run hedge funds, and build policy at the World Bank. This is lecture 1. In 1776 Adam Smith asked why diamonds cost more than water. Water keeps you alive. Diamonds do not. The demand for water is enormous. The demand for diamonds is small. By any rational logic, water should cost more. He was wrong about what he was measuring. This is Jonathan Gruber, MIT 14.01, Microeconomics. The man who built the mathematical model behind Obamacare and Romneycare. The man who testified before Congress six times. He now teaches the most foundational idea in economics to anyone willing to watch. Smith's error was looking at only half the picture. He saw demand. He missed supply. Water is everywhere. Diamonds are rare. When supply is low enough, even something nobody needs can cost more than something everyone needs. That single insight became the foundation of every economic model ever built - and every career in finance, policy, and consulting that depends on it. He opens with opportunity cost. Every decision you make has a cost. Not just the money you spend. The thing you did not do instead. If you buy a rose for $3, you gave up a slice of pizza and a Coke. If the price rises to $4, the opportunity cost rises too. You want fewer. That is why demand curves slope downward. Not because of some law. Because of what you gave up. Then supply. A farm can grow roses or something else. When the price of roses is low, the farmer grows something else. When the price rises high enough, roses become the better choice. The opportunity cost of not growing roses becomes too high. That is why supply curves slope upward. Then the equilibrium. Two equations, two unknowns. Demand: quantity equals 1,800 minus 400 times price. Supply: quantity equals 200 times price. Set them equal. You get 600 roses at $3 each. At that price, buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to sell. The system has come to rest. Then the kidney on eBay. Someone auctioned one in the 1990s. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. The positive question: why did the price get so high? Easy. Enormous demand, almost no supply. The normative question: should we be allowed to sell our organs? The market delivers the right quantity. It does not deliver fairness. Watch the moment he says economics is fundamentally a right-wing science. Then says he is a left-wing guy. Then explains why both things can be true at the same time. A policy analyst I know rewatched this before their first week at a government economics office. Said it was the first time supply and demand felt like a lens rather than a diagram. Free on YouTube, MIT OpenCourseWare, Creative Commons license. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every price you see will feel like a supply and demand equation waiting to be solved

  @JC_colleccoast That’s pretty cool man. I never thought about using ChatGPT for research. My my son and I PC Giants, 49ers, and Braves. Overtime with ripping we just accumulated too many cards. So about three months ago I started up at Ebay store for him. Normally, I check the sold items on eBay to get an accurate listing. My problem is getting the view. Not sure why some cards have a higher viewing than others. I have some that have been on there for two months with nothing.

  @cynnoble They should make Rule of Rose cheaper as they found shipments of copies not that long ago and the prices came tumbling down for the game. It can be commonly found on eBay for okay-ish prices (depending on location), I guess they didn't get the memo.

  @MrKdub Sell it… then buy the same card back on eBay when the card prices come back down. This is 100% temporary and artificially inflated.

  @aeugh989 @DCOfficial @Disney That’s crazy to think about Unfortunately, eBay told me there wasn’’t any wrongdoing (prolly cause he took it down), so i can’t get justice for the other art hes got on there, but it at least motivated me to get print accounts going so i can avoid this

  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  @FNAF_ScottGames Peak stop motion trailer. The only issue I have with these is the limited stock that keeps getting vacuumed up by scalpers, I cant find these ANYWHERE besides on ebay for triple the retail value. Its very frustrating cuz these are the best figures weve ever gotten

  @CardPurchaser Idiots that don't use the Ebay Envelope system that puts tracking to the customer. This complicates issues and doesn't put the customer in the loop. This is the one way I will never buy from anyone again.

  @DavidV_81 @artur @eBay You probably have defaults in place that you set 17 years ago. eBay is settings defaults that result in outrageous shipping prices and the seller has no clue. This is something eBay needs to fix, and can't be blamed on sellers.

  @HagaEme @cryaboutitboy The point is to not purchase anything that will put money in Sony playstation's pocket. People are purchasing second hand games from ebay and such. And showing no PSN activity by disconnecting from the internet to show the scope of players participating in the outage. More or less.
