  @benwegmann If he bought the card for 1.5k, it goes through authentication. Even if it does not, which is rare, You are clear of any issue, he deals with eBay based on his message. He also put in print a threat to your account standing. eBay will take off any feedback along with possibly suspending his account. He also cannot take it up with the bank because eBay will win based on his message. So in this case, you won.

  Alani Nu has the kind of problem every consumer brand wants - $CELH Alani Nu just dropped its Halloween lineup and the response has been absolutely nuts. Witch’s Brew, Ruby Apple and Voodoo Vanilla Elixir are selling out, TikTok and Instagram are full of people loading their carts with multiple cases and hunting for stores that still have inventory, and secondary market markups are already appearing on places like eBay. At Sam’s Club, there have been reports of Witch’s Brew selling out in less than an hour. Scarcity has a funny way of becoming its own marketing campaign. Every empty shelf, bulk buy video and resale listing becomes another advertisement for the product… Meaning more social proof, more FOMO, and more people searching for the next restock. What makes this even more interesting is that Witch’s Brew isn’t new. It’s a returning seasonal flavor that Alani has managed to turn into something closer to an annual product drop. Consumers know it’s coming, wait for it, stock up when it arrives and post when they find it. And this isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s landing while the underlying Alani brand already has serious momentum, now with PepsiCo’s distribution machine behind it. Following a blowout Q1, with roughly 60% yoy pro forma growth and more than 100% growth in tracked channels, Alani generated about $364m of Q2 net sales, up 21% yoy, while U.S. retail sales in tracked channels grew 55.7%. We’ve seen a version of this playbook before with $ELF Glow Reviver Lip Oil became one of elfs major launches during FY24, right as the broader brand was gaining enormous momentum. That year, elf grew net sales 77% yoy, gained ~300 bps of market share and crossed $1b in annual sales for the first time. The point isn’t one lip oil or a few seasonal energy drinks. It’s what happens when a breakout product lands inside a brand that is already gaining distribution, shelf space, awareness and market share. The HIT product brings new consumers into the franchise, generates millions of dollars of organic attention and gives retailers another reason to allocate shelf space. And once consumers come in for that product, some of that attention inevitably spills across the rest of the portfolio. The best product launches don’t just sell product. They make the entire shelf more valuable

  @tukikagemugen @thedailyrabbit_ I have a Motorola. I used to get LG phones. Yet... I STILL have to get my cases on Ebay & sometimes Amazon that no one else are carrying. I don't have a problem with it. I don't follow trends. I follow my intuition. It's not perfect. But it works for ME. Not their bank accounts.

  My garage is a nerds *********... Anyone interested? Shoot me the right number and I'd let it all go. The only problem is I dunno what that number is till I hear it lol. I'll drive the whole lot out of state if need be. The next couple weeks I'll be going through it and pricing everything. I'm sure there's some unicorns in there. Once I have all that done we will be setting up an Ebay page in my father in laws name to sell it all unless someone scoops it up before all that. I can't even fathom how much he spent on all this... @Wizards_DnD @Wizards

  @thatsKAIZEN Tariffs are not bad they are Great . The problem is that consumers are not happy to pay them. You have so many small businesses that employ people here and try to make money, but because people from China either make copies of those products and just drop them here, or whatever else happens, it creates a difficult environment. When tariffs are really implemented, I know for a fact that multiple people made more money because the shipping was on point for them. We had the de minimis tariffs, which meant everything under $100 entered this country free from Temu and others. This is the problem with tariffs that people do not understand. You have people in America who design board games, puzzles, T-shirts, and a bunch of other stuff. These are small businesses that feed their families and employ a couple of people, and they are all over the country. We are still the second-biggest manufacturer after China. People in China do well, but they don't do anything; another American grabs a product, sends it to China, and says, "Make a copy of that, we're going to sell it." Even if we are the second-biggest manufacturer in the world, if the guy cannot sell it in America, China just stops dropping it on Amazon, eBay, or whatever. Look at Amazon: how many products are from China? They just ship them to Amazon, and they sell them cheap, even after Amazon fees and everything else. You have Alibaba and all those other sites. A lot of people do not understand this because they are only looking at whether their laptop or their TV is going to go up in price. But there are other things that are made in this country things that should and could very easily be made in this country. Instead, you have all these people working gig jobs, the Ubers and the delivery apps. You know how many delivery apps we have? Half the country uses them, and the other half works for them. Nobody makes money, but there are no other jobs. You think people don't want to work a normal nine-to-five job at a factory? It's not like a sweatshop back in the day; factories are not like that anymore. People do not understand what this "Chinese special" is, where they can bring anything into this country below $100 with no fees, nothing. All this junk was poured into this country. And if you are an American company and you want to make it in China using more or less slave labor because you want the cheap stuff, that's on you. You should be paying for that if you don't hire Americans. We can make these products in this country. Some Department of Labor regulations in certain states are over the board, meaning they just don't let people make money properly. That is why you cannot hire them; they all end up working for Uber, and Uber just pays millions of dollars every month in Department of Labor fines while people continue to work on 1099s. But that is a different story. Tariffs may or may not reduce the economy, but people who don't understand manufacturing don't understand the benefit of tariffs. Most of the people in this country are employed by small businesses, and those businesses can employ more people in steady jobs where you don't have to sit for 14 hours in a car, six hours a day, waiting for the next job to deliver food or drive somebody around, making no money and killing your car, basically bringing its value to zero. People do not understand how good tariffs are just for that just to create more jobs in small businesses. If you are not a manufacturing business, you just cannot comprehend how much money is lost by small businesses because of Chinese junk or copies. They cannot take the million-dollar lawsuits, and it is incredible how people don't understand that. Tariffs are very important. That is why every country has them; not only do they make money on it, but they protect their manufacturing. Look what happened in Europe. They allowed Chinese cars in, and look how many sales they lost. Look how much sales they lost in other countries. VW now had to shut down their plants. Are you kidding me?

  @1Password Hi! This version does indeed make the login show up more reliably in most cases; it does, however, still fail when the username field on a website isn’t selected first. A good example, if you want to reproduce this, is eBay, which asks you to enter your password to sign in, but not always your username.

  I have no problem giving someone a deal on ebay, I have offers on for every listing but when something has consistent sales at 100, they offer 50, I offer 75, they offer 55, I cant help but offer 60 just to see if theyll really let it go over 5 overall $40 under market.

  I’m currently trying to move some slabs in order to purchase others that I want more however, every person on eBay keep sending offers below the cost to grade and get them signed. I understand trying to talk someone down a little bit and negotiate but at what point do I say stop being a clown hell offer a trade with it at least. Even on Instagram someone wanted my Akira absolute Batman double signed for 300 bucks. I’m not selling it but are these people don’t know or they think they’re trying to catch someone lacking I said the duck.

  @KILLLSEANKELLY @badger_breaks @CardVaultKC I was not wrong about anything. They made shipping $50…if it were an accident, how did they (really you) “fix it” and now it’s $5.50? You can’t “accidentally” make shipping $50. And you told me via message on eBay that it was an accident. Surprised you didn’t tell me your kid did it. Again, it’s not that serious and am ready to move on whenever you’d like

  I am the Director of Retroactive Attribution at Phia, the shopping app Phoebe Gates co-founded. My job did not exist in June. It exists now because someone has to go back and figure out, after the fact, who actually gets credit for what. Attribution was always the word. I did not invent it. I inherited it. Here is what I inherited. A setting called enable coupon auto drop, switched on December 10, switched off July 7, the same day a reporter called. Nobody builds an off switch for an accident. A second feature ran in the background every two hours, dropping a cookie on any site linked to a past Phia visit, whether you were shopping or not. Here is what that bought us. A retailer only owes a commission to whoever actually sent the customer. We stopped waiting to find out who that was. The cookie went down regardless, sometimes on top of somebody else's, so the retailer paid us for a sale we did not cause, and whoever did cause it got nothing. On December 18, Gates asked developers to confirm the auto-drop was live on every site with a coupon, so the company could be sure it was monetizing on all sales, regardless. Kianni went further. When a colleague warned that dropping a cookie every time a user closed a Phia pop-up would violate Chrome's own rules, she proposed a cover story instead of a fix: "the user is trying to open us and roll it back if they complain." In July, when a reporter called, the company said it had learned "within the last 24 hours" that its own code was causing the problem. I have both dates in front of me. I am not going to do the subtraction for you. Before July 7, we were bringing in roughly $80,000 a day. After, $10,000 to $28,000. An internal estimate put 51% of what we billed advertisers in June on transactions we did not actually influence. We are disputing the methodology on that number. We are not disputing the toggle. An attorney posted that this is the kind of thing that gets treated as federal wire fraud, up to 20 years. Nobody has been charged with anything. The last two men who did something like this to eBay got 5 months and 15 months, on $28 million and $5.2 million. Nobody in the actual precedent got 20 years. Nobody in this one has been charged with a single day. In February, before any of this, Gates told a podcast she wanted Phia to succeed with "no ties to my privilege or my last name." The revenue chart doesn't say whose name earned it. It just says whose name got the credit. Going forward, my job is to make sure every transaction gets attributed to the party that actually earned it. That's attribution. It was the crime. Now it's my title. The app still says Never Overpay Again. The switch still works. Nobody removed it. It's just off.

  A hedge fund manager who's averaged over 20% a year for two decades gave away his entire strategy on a video call with one classroom. He did it for free. Almost nobody outside that room has seen it since. His name is Seth Klarman. He runs The Baupost Group out of Boston. He wrote "Margin of Safety" once, in 1991, then let it go out of print. Copies now resell for $1,400 on eBay - more than a plane ticket. The call happened in March 2009, in the middle of the worst crash since 1929. It was arranged by a professor at the Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing. No stage, no slides. Just a video conference and thirty MBA students taking notes by hand while the market outside was in free fall. His framework fits in three rules. Focus on risk before return. Risk is not beta. Risk is the size of what you could lose, multiplied by how likely you are to lose it. Ignore relative performance. Losing eighteen percent while the market loses twenty is not a win. Most funds only chase the index because that's how they get paid. He cared about not losing money, period. Work bottom up, never top down. Nobody predicts the macro economy reliably. Stop trying. Go analyze one company at a time. "At Baupost, we are big fans of fear, and in investing, it is clearly better to be scared than sorry." He told the room his fund walked into 2008 holding thirty-five percent cash. Not because he predicted the crash. Because he couldn't find enough bargains, and cash was the only asset left with a real margin of safety. Top MBA programs charge over $150,000 to teach a fraction of these three rules, one semester at a time. Klarman gave them away for free, to thirty students who happened to sign up for one elective. That was seventeen years ago. Most people managing other people's money today have still never seen it. He closed with one line worth more than the rest of the lecture combined. "The period with the highest return going forward is always the worst period of return looking backward."
