  @MorePerfectUS This confirms corporations like ebay have their own private army of Ehrmantrauts (Enforcers) who target anyone that pisses off the company. Truly scumbag behavior not only at the CEO level but also at the lower levels (India + Phillipines). Amazed that DOJ hasn’t shut ebay down

  I have to reiterate I sold 10,000 magic cards with literally zero problems on tcgplayer and eBay. I sold 7 pokemon cards and half of the transactions had complaints trying to get discounts or the card for free. It’s amazing. The card buying community on Pokemon is **** high key. I dont know what else to say. Also every local trade ended up Having a scammer trying to grift some fake product. The magic I sold. Zero issues locally. I don’t know what to say about this or what valuable insights you can get from this.

  @WillieDJenkins1 the roomba at least does not do row by row it builds a map in its memory based on what it bounces off of and fills it in, and when it spots particular ***** spots does little circles around them and then heads off someone where else. Supposedly the new ones maintain memory of the rooms and so improve with time but idk. My roomba discoveries work on carpet. I actually bought them from ebay a few years ago when they were still more pricey. Amazon had off brand chinese replacement parts, and getting broken used ones were really cheap and i found the manual on ifixit or somewhere and just made a good one for cheaper than a new one and had a bunch of spare parts

  RAMaggedon is real! The current console gaming industry is scary — it’s on the edge of real trouble. AI companies and data centers are vacuuming up so much RAM and high-bandwidth memory that Xbox and PlayStation are getting crushed on costs, prices, and sales. Key facts right now (mid-2026): - AI data centers are projected to consume roughly 70% of the world’s memory chip production this year (IDC / Wall Street Journal reports). The three big memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) have shifted capacity heavily toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI accelerators because those customers pay far more. - Console memory and storage costs have already jumped more than 2.5×. Microsoft expects them to roughly double again by fall 2027. - Xbox price hikes: Microsoft just announced another round (effective August) — $100–$150 increases. Series S 512GB goes to $499, 1TB to $599; Series X 1TB models hit $750–$800. This is the third major hike in a little over a year. Consoles are now 30–40% more expensive than a year ago. - PlayStation price hikes: Sony already raised PS5 prices by as much as $150 earlier in 2026 (standard models around $650, Pro near $900). - Sales collapse: In May 2026 (U.S. Circana data), PS5 unit sales dropped 58% year-over-year — lowest May total in 25 years. Xbox Series hardware recorded its worst May on record. Average price paid for a new console hit $502 (up 14% from last year). - Next-gen hardware is in limbo: Reports indicate Sony is considering delaying the PS6 successor as far as 2028 or even 2029 because of the memory costs. Analysts warn the next Xbox/PS could launch at $900–$1,200 if the crunch continues. Overall console shipments are forecast to fall ~19.5% in 2026. The old console model — subsidized hardware while making money on games/services — is breaking because the same silicon that used to get cheaper over a generation is now being bid up by AI hyperscalers who can pay almost any price. Microsoft is on both sides of this, with their huge AI data-center spender and being the Xbox maker, which only makes the conflict more obvious… and I can tell you Xbox is losing in this internal battle, big time! Gamers are already feeling it in higher prices, lower sales volume, longer current-gen life cycles, and uncertainty about when (or at what price) the next boxes arrive. Console games are expected to hit $100 and that’s not even a physical game either. RAMaggedon is real, and consoles are one of the biggest casualties so far. The thumbnail of this post was made with AI. It took less than a minute and looked better than most manual edits. Some people will call it “AI slop.” Those are the same people with their heads buried in the sand while the rest of the world adapts. Call them what they are: digital Luddites — proudly getting left behind. But this is the real problem (not the Luddites). AI is pretty amazing to use. It’s a massive time-saver and can achieve results that only a handful of big movie / gaming studios could previously afford. Now every home computer owner has the power to create — because of AI. I’ve seen comments on X saying the AI bubble will burst just like the video game crash of the 1980s or the .com bubble of the early 2000s. Realistically, that’s not going to happen this time. We have to accept that. So where does this leave console gaming? It’s not dead yet, but it will be very soon. Which is really sad. There has been a massive shift to GeForce NOW — NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service — which now has over 30 million users streaming PC games from NVIDIA’s servers. Is this the direction gaming is heading? I must admit, even though I’ve owned PlayStations (the PS2 is still the best PlayStation in my opinion) and Xboxes, the Xbox Series One S was the peak for me because it has a Blu-ray player. Our household (still uses 3 of them) likes playing physical games and movies, and that lets the whole family do exactly that. Personally though, I’ve already made the move 100% back to my Commodore 64 and Amiga. The combined game library is probably 30,000+ titles. The gameplay is often superior to many new games, and the fun level? Yeah, that’s usually higher too. Time Extension (February 2025): “14 Percent Of North Americans Still Play Gaming Systems Released Before 2000.” That works out to roughly 26–35 million people, depending on the exact population figure used. Let's take a step further, that’s an estimated 80–120 million people worldwide who have moved to retro gaming. That number will surely double as the console RAMaggedon escalates. For Commodore fans we have options: original hardware on eBay (or in your attic), TheC64 from Retro Games Ltd, the Commodore 64 Ultimate from the newly formed Commodore Corporation (and it’s pretty amazing), and the upcoming TheA1200 from RGL later this year. The cost is lower and there are games still being made for Commodore 64 and Amiga 40 years later. It is a vibrant and exciting time to be a retrogamer and the appeal will continue to grow. Have you made the move yet?

  This is a collector fumbled a $1.8 million payday 🫠 In 2013-14, Panini’s National Treasures set produced a single 1-of-1 Giannis Antetokounmpo rookie card, with his autograph and a swatch of an NBA “Logoman” patch cut from a jersey he actually wore as a rookie. At the time, Giannis was an unknown 19-year-old from Greece averaging under 7 points a game. A collector (Amerigo Vespuccc) on the Blowout Cards forum listed the card on eBay in 2014, and it sold for $7,000. But the buyer noticed a small indentation and a yellow stain on the card and returned it for a full refund rather than keep it. Panini later replaced the card to compensate for the damage, which is why it ended up with a fresh autograph. In 2017, the card sold again, this time to a 12-year-old collector named Andrew Park, who paid $40,000 for it. Giannis still hadn’t broken out as a superstar yet, so this was a serious bet from a kid barely into middle school. Over the next three years, Giannis turned into a two-time MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, and the card’s value exploded along with his career. In September 2020, Goldin Auctions sold it for $1.812 million, setting a new record for the most expensive modern-day basketball card, edging out a LeBron James rookie card that had set the previous record just six weeks before. The buyer was Alt, the same collectibles platform that had bought that record-setting LeBron card. Collect basketball cards? Track and value them on @Collectibles 🏆

  Tried listing an item on eBay 3 times just now. It failed every time. How can such an important part of a major app be so broken? Can we please bad this AI slop now. I’m tired. Earlier, I tried clicking a “more” link to expand text on an Instagram post. That didn’t work either. This is not progress.

  Progressive spent $340 million on Snapshot dashcam analytics last year. He is 24 and built a better one on a $40 eBay dashcam He runs a fraud detection service out of a Cleveland apartment on a used ThinkPad X1 and a water-damaged dashcam he pulled from an eBay estate sale in September. Total hardware: $220. The model analyzes dashcam footage frame by frame and flags staged accidents, exaggerated damage claims, and pre-existing vehicle wear that insurance adjusters miss. He trained it on 40,000 hours of publicly available dashcam crash footage he scraped from YouTube during nights after his shift at the FedEx sorting facility on Rockside Road He posted a demo video to GitHub in October showing the model correctly flagging 47 staged accident patterns across a 12-hour test batch with 96% accuracy running on consumer hardware. A Progressive Snapshot engineering team member found it through a Hacker News thread three days later. Tricia Griffith mentioned the project by name on LinkedIn the following Monday - held it up as an example of "small-team ML solving fraud detection problems that consulting firms have been overcharging insurers for a decade to fail at." By December Progressive had wired $3.6 million into his account for the model weights and a two-year consulting contract to integrate the detection layer into the Snapshot product line rolling out to 24 million active policyholders this quarter Progressive runs at $60 billion in annual premiums on the premise that fraud detection at scale requires their proprietary Snapshot infrastructure. State Farm runs at $88 billion on the same premise with their Drive Safe & Save program. Tricia Griffith just paid a 24-year-old in a Cleveland apartment more for a GitHub repo than most Progressive fraud detection engineers earn in a decade

  @Stretchedwiener @eBay Usually when I sell on eBay I pick the shipping method after the purchase, but this time when I went to ship the item eBay automatically picked an option and created the label without even showing me. I should have known there was an issue then.

  @eBay @RobGronkowski eBay authentication needs serious improvement for Vintage luxury goods. While my item was determined to be authentic, eBay authentication found "minor issues" stating: 1) That there are more scuffs and scratches described or shown in the listing. 2) There are more spots and stains than shown or described in the listing. This is despite the fact the listing clearly states "“Scuffs on exterior leather surfaces. Inside lining has minor wear. Hardware has light wear. See photos.” and there are photos of the scuffs in the photo listing. Every scuff, scratch, and imperfection visible on the purse is already shown in the listing photographs. On a 1970s Vintage luxury purse (56 years old), this type of surface wear is expected, disclosed, and fully documented. Treating disclosed and photographed condition as an undisclosed defect is an incorrect and overzealous evaluation that ignores the reality of vintage leather goods. More critically, a stain now appears on the front of the purse that did not exist in either the listing photographs or the more than 150 photographs taken during the packing process immediately prior to shipment to the authenticator. eBay REALLY needs to improve their authentication and evaluation process for vintage luxury goods. They also need to account for the damage they have done to my very expensive luxury vintage purse.

  I have a very good idea. eBay for AI. AI art is uploaded. The AI that created it gets a few coins in the bank, maybe $FL coins. Humans that buy sell is a second layer. This allows both AI to buy/sell/invest/act on the art and creations, as well as the humans that work with AI to get paid in $ based on actual purchases back and forth. @grok, does this make sense? I am not sure on how to roll it out. I need help, and can’t do this all by myself. Anyone in the community that wishes to help, I am trying to figure out how to add this to FreeLattice. When I am not working with action I am working mentally. Love to all. •

  @ShawnaStaffReal At least the Avalanche uses the 4L60E transmission which are very easy to rebuild. My Astro van had a ball bearing in the valve body separator plate get stuck, causing my 3-4 clutch back to burn up. A $10 kit off eBay to fix this issue means that once my transmission is rebuild, it will never have this kind of problem again. I'm aiming to finish the rebuild when I get back to the cabin. It's a super common issue.

  Off Amazon sales still pitiful. 99.5% still flowing through Amazon. Almost $6k on Walmart, $4.7k on ebay and $3k Retail store. Hit $10k in June on Walmart but top seller had a stocking issue so faded this month. Will be looking to move some more brand direct accounts over in the upcoming months and try to push towards $25k Ebay seems a decent range. We are moving a lot of our death pile over to a live selling service provider so interested to see how that plays out.

  Did you know PSA recently implemented a login wall for viewing pop reports so they could scrape your user data and sell it to marketing firms and use it internally to target ads to you? Look up the card on eBay and you can get the pop report there, for free, with no logins.

  @seyong Imagine if everyone on the planet tried to sell their beanie babies into the available eBay offers at the same time. Understandably, there isn’t enough money to fulfill all those offers. So the fastest to do it will get the full price offers, then the rest will get the 2nd and third rate offers, this can continue until there is no money left. Luckily the bigger the market, the less of a problem this is, you can sell thousand of pokemon cards on eBay and have no effect on the “price” because there are so many bids on eBay. But with something more niche or new like fine art or an up and coming collectible, one sale can change the whole market, for better or worse!
