  Ryan Cohen breaks down the $EBAY bid: cash, stock & the “two businesses” math $GME 1. Price / mix: About $125/sh, split ~50% cash / ~50% stock (he cites ~$28B on the cash side in that framing). 2. Cash side: Mentions a ~$20B committed TD letter plus ~$9B on the balance sheet. 3. The “two businesses” part: Uses a round-number earnings example (eBay vs GameStop) to contrast a pure stock merger with what they’re proposing—more cash to eBay holders now, so ownership of the combined earnings looks different than an all-stock deal.

  @tbpn @AnjneyMidha as someone who sell luxury used goods on eBay, how this would change everything selling luxury used goods on ebay is great but there’s so much that can be improved upon and it mainly stems from authentication issues and trust. when you sell something on there like a Louis Vuitton handbag authentication issues offered either for a fee or for free depending on if it meets a dollar amount threshold at time of sale, that’s not the problem— the problem with this is time, the seller first has to send the time to ebay after sale to have the item authenticated (which takes forever), then the item is shipped to the customer. this time deters a majority of potential sales because people want to know what they’re buying is real. this is why we have seen reputable luxury consignment businesses scaling over the last few years bc they can offer a faster turnaround time to the customer but that comes at a heavy cost to the seller usually 25-40% 😵‍💫 having the ability to do in-store authentication will not only fix that timing issue on the front end but would also drastically improve ebay’s trust issue with the consumer we know people love ebay, we know consignment services for luxury used goods is scaling, if Ryan can fix ebay’s trust issue with the consumer and create a way for sellers to sell items faster this will generate sales like ebay has never seen. this is the part of my tedtalk where i remind you that used goods sales are skyrocketing. given the current state of the world and macro economic tailwinds people are buying and selling more as way to weather the storm. gamestop at times is kinda like a **** shop offering in store credit sure but most people don’t realize they offer CASH for items on the spot. idk if that would play into ryan’s plan down the road to expand offering cash instantly for trade ins on goods besides retro gaming and collectibles but this could be another very very very lucrative piece to his vision most people are completely missing. LONG $GME LONG $EBAY LONG @ryancohen

  rnewton (@rnewton7777) reported 20 minutes ago

  @cs236802 Ryan Cohen did the math for you. Imagine this: GameStop buys Ebay. Yes, we pay a lot of cash and GME to do it. Then he immediately clashes their marketing, merges headquarters, cutting SGA and costs down. He uses the newly freed up earnings to pay the debt off, unleveraging. He says he can do that fast and I have seen how fast he can do that. Immediately value unlock. At a scale way bigger than the same exact thing he did on GameStop's balance sheet in 2 years. That immediately gives all shareholders value. It is like he is taking our GME tokens, going into a thrift store (or Ebay lol) buying something that needs some fixing up, and increasing its value. Do you trust Ryan Cohen to build something? I've seen him do it twice now so I trust.

  @chrisjo62638834 @SMB_Attorney you, like sorkin and quick are choosing to ignore or are ignorant of how M&A works. I didn't offer an opinion on whether the deal made sense, would be acceptable to Ebay board/shareholders, but he did answer question, repeatedly. issue shares evaluate on post merger basis.

  ⚡ Ryan Cohen claims he can boost eBay's value through cost cuts alone. Bold pitch from the $GME chairman. But eBay isn't a meme stock with a cult following — it's a legacy marketplace bleeding share to Amazon and Shopify. Cutting costs works when the core business still has growth potential. eBay's problem isn't bloat. It's relevance. Cohen turned GameStop into a balance sheet story. eBay needs a product story. Different game entirely. #GME #EBAY 👉 @coingonet

  Spence ☕️ (@tspencer322) reported 26 minutes ago

  Cohen has $9.8 billion in cash and $20 billion backed up by TD and a letter of approval. If the @eBay board of Directors denies his buyout offer it could cost the eBay shareholders $30-$40 per share, seeing that eBay may go back down into the 30 to 70 ranges.

  @Pirat_Nation If they're not going to fix the hideous glaring problems with yesterday's launch who cares when a restock is coming? The same thing is going to happen again. Server crashes, payment failures, punishments for trying too many times, etc.. They're all going to end up on eBay again.

  bad robot (@foxenflask) reported 40 minutes ago

  @InvestBlackJack Rolling equity *does* require GameStop (or the new ComboCo) to issue new shares to the 50% of eBay holders who roll their stakes. The difference from a traditional “stock offering” (ATM, secondary, etc.) is that RC pays $28B cash only for the half of eBay that wants to exit (the $125/share tender). The rolling half gets no cash: their eBay shares are simply swapped for newly issued shares in the combined company (at the agreed 40/60 post-deal ownership split). This share issuance is the merger consideration itself and not a separate cash-raising sale (like an ATM). It’s what lets the deal get done with only half the cash (or debt) needed, while still diluting existing GME shareholders’ ownership percentage in the ComboCo. So the dilution is only in the post-merger ComboCo ownership percentages, not a separate cash-raising stock offering.

  By not having an ownership stake within eBay, Insiders casted their vote against eBay’s growth. I believe in @ryancohen ‘s ability to fix eBay’s growth problem.

  I never would have touched $GME ; that changed this week. Ryan is onto something here. If the eBay deal actually goes through, I’d have no problem starting a GameStop position.

  Christian (@tijerinachris1) reported 44 minutes ago

  @StrategyMaxi @saylor @ryancohen He has a physical value problem, not a virtual one. All the real estate is a liability if the seams start to crack. I don’t know what it means for the poor $GME shareholders so far, but long-term it could be an amazing play. All he has to do is cut costs within eBay and/or add value by vertically integrating GameStop within eBay, and the interest on the loans is nominal.

  @DOMOCAPITAL @janeumayet They would be silly to turn the offer down. I asked my kids the other day if they knew what eBay was and they have no idea other than how we sell our collectibles. They would never know what it is otherwise... The executives leeched the investors and the clients. Ryan simply wants to make sure the platform is not Boston Consulting Grouped into the ground.

  Everyone is laughing at Ryan Cohen's math. They shouldn't be. He just proved he understands the market better than anyone on Wall Street. January 2021: A Reddit user called DeepF*ckingValue posts a $53,000 GameStop position. The math says the stock is worth $4. It goes to $483 in two weeks. Melvin Capital, a hedge fund that bet on math, loses everything. Robinhood shuts down the buy button. Congress holds hearings. The system breaks. Nobody fixes it. 2026: Ryan Cohen, who became GameStop's CEO after walking into that rubble, offers $56 billion to buy eBay. His company is worth $11 billion. eBay is worth $46 billion. On CNBC, the host, Sorkin, asks where the money comes from. Cohen says "half cash, half stock." Sorkin says the math doesn't work. Cohen says he doesn't understand the question. The whole sequence becomes a meme, an icon of finance TV right away. 1999: AOL buys Time Warner for $164 billion. Steve Case calls it "the most important deal in history." It destroys both companies within two years. The man who got lucky once always starts believing luck is a business model. What is true is that in the attention economy, a good story beats a good balance sheet. Cohen knows this.

  The Traders Circle (@XTradersCircle) reported 1 hour ago

  GameStop just attempted something almost nobody thought possible. $GME ($14B) tried to buy $EBAY ($50B+). Let that sink in. Ryan Cohen is essentially betting he can turn GameStop from a dying retailer into the backbone of online resale commerce. The pitch: • cut $2B+ in costs
• turn GameStop stores into eBay fulfillment hubs
• merge gaming, collectibles, and resale into one ecosystem On paper? It sounds insane. But that’s exactly why the market is paying attention. Because if Cohen somehow pulls this off…It completely changes the future of GameStop. The problem: •financing would be brutal •regulators would swarm it •eBay shareholders may laugh it out of the room •execution risk is enormous Which makes the REAL story this: Was this ever meant to succeed… Or was it designed to pressure eBay into changing direction?

  So @USPS deliveries have slowed down by at least a day, if not two or three. And prices have now tripled since pre-covid where it was $1.87 to ship a 3oz via USPS with tracking anywhere in the USA - today I just spent $6.36 for the same thing - but slower. @Etsy @ebay you really need to control your pricing better. This is ROBBERY!

  @CryoChicken @PhantomBlack699 @TrevorIRL Yes, in the proposed deal, eBay shareholders would get $125/share: 50% in cash + 50% in new GameStop common stock (with election rights and pro-rata if oversubscribed). That stock portion "rolls" their equity into ownership of the combined post-merger company. GameStop would issue shares to fund it, diluting existing GME holders while giving eBay holders a stake in the enlarged entity. Deal isn't done yet—eBay's reviewing it.
