    @Radios4Freedom @TruckerDanUSA Sometimes the seller knows how to ship at a reasonable cost. Often, they don't. It's their first time selling something so big, they don't have the right size box, and so on. It's even irritating for me to ship cases, but I do it properly. That cuts into what I make dramatically, though, unless I magically have the original box. I've got to pack a vintage one soon that's going to be a nightmare, and I'll have to use the box the Fractal came in, to do it. It's too wide, which will affect cost, so I'll have to cut it down. That one's going to be a major annoyance. It's wrong in all the wrong dimensions, and weighs a ton. I missed one I really wanted on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't have worked for my new build, but I wanted it just to have it. Now I've got to buy that DAC, though, so no more fun cases to have. That's going to be an expensive purchase.

    This guy claims $27,000 in one month off this. He wasn’t even using AI. He found a $100 eBay product (like heaters with hundreds of sales), reverse-searched the image to Alibaba, and discovered the same item for ~$28. Then he manually ran margins, fees, shipping, and checked competitor stores to see what was actually scaling. That’s it. Now think about what changes with AI. You don’t have to manually search suppliers, calculate profit, or dig through competitors. AI can identify similar listings, map suppliers from images, break down margins, and summarize entire stores in seconds. Same framework. Demand, supplier, margin, replication. AI just removes almost all the work in between.

    @TheRealXShadesX @CanonCsa Cohen pretty much confirmed this by saying he wants long term shareholders on that tech podcast he did the first media go-round. RK saw an opportunity, price came all the way back to the Feb '21 low. I believe RK is simply waiting for the best possible risk to reward which would be like $17.70... Though I'm not convinced we ever see that again, especially now that the $2B share repurchase exists. Maybe RK is ready to recognize that, maybe not. Unlike before, GameStop is in a REALLY healthy state and everyone can see it's undervalued by normal metrics. The narrative to justify the price right now is "potential eBay dilution". Yes there are fears that Cohen could start diluting down here in an attempt to acquire eBay but I honestly don't think that should be a concern. $30+ sure, but not down here near lows. His call options on ebay are for 2028, he has time and is clearly patient.

    @foxenflask It will be on the level of… “Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” There’s a chance he won’t do it but I think he will. Cohen needs to take decisive action and accumulate as much eBay as he can this week.

    it has been nearly a year of me owning the nintendo switch 2 so ima give my honest thoughts after using it. things i like: 1. i like the fact it is magnetic so i wont have to worry too much about the joycons being buggy, like what happened with my switch v2 that i am going to give to my siblings 2. i love that its comfortable to hold and the much larger screen 3. i love the new sound effects for the lock screen and love the fact you can stop the tablet from charging at a certain point to try and protect the battery life span 4. i love the fact you can take out the usb c cable from the power adapter that was incredibly needed Now for things i do not like and some improvements that i wish for. 1. the virtual game card feature requires internet nintendo needs to realise, some people don"t have wifi i would love to be able to do it locally and have it so i dont have to use the game card feature and have everything on my other nintendo switch. 2. the dock is terrible i hate how the hdmi cord is short and the fan inside the dock is useless i have had issues since launch where after taking out my switch 2 i got a blue screen about 5 times when the system got hot when playinh mario kart world. and for a revision of the dock it should have two fans and a proper way to cool the nintendo switch 2 and other future models down. 3. as for the switch 2 itself i would love for the next models to have two fans inside the system for better cooling and a way to control the fan speed. my final verdict is the system worth it? if you got the money and never owned a switch before absolutley but money saving wise i would hold off right now, because i did some math and research into how much it would be if you didn"t get the official joycons and the dock. Tablet only on ebay in my country is £250 and if you avoided the dock it would cost you over £300 and i think the older switches are still worth it as i bought the switch v1 on ebay for £90 and i an still waiting for my splatoon 3 joycons to arrive and that costed me over 100, i am still waiting for my nitro crkd to arrive to review.

    @MttThms @DustinCanFly Even with Amazon sales go up and down you can still get a copy on eBay or marketplace anywhere really and it’ll be cheaper by a good amount If you wanted a cod title 5 years ago if it’s not on sale it’ll be 60$ And this is a huge thing PlayStation will do bare minimum

    Multiplayer server shutdowns are different and there is the whole Stop Killing Games initiative for that but my point still stands. 9/10 the digital game is more expensive then finding one on eBay, Amazon, GameStop......choose one.

    @JeffFavignano @Rec0nn76 It highlights ownership issues. Do you own your games if you're required to log into PSN to access them? Are the games truly yours if they can be deleted off of PSN?There's enough "lost media" that can't be downloaded any longer. How do you share your games, or sell them on eBay?

    THIS SERVER SCRAPPER TURNED A $130 RETIRED TESLA M40 INTO A 24GB PRIVATE AI SERVER THAT WORKS 720 HOURS A MONTH FOR $8 He's 27, strips retired servers for a living. Pause at 0:11 on the boot screen, that is a PowerEdge R750, a machine datacenters paid $20,000+ for. It ships to eBay for a tenth of that. Working hardware, dumped by the pallet, on a schedule. Tesla M40. $3,500 new in 2015. $130 today. 24GB of memory, same as a $3,800 RTX 5090. He put one in the gaming PC that used to boot up for Spotify. $25 fan, $10 adapter, $165 all in. Three commands and Ollama runs a 27B model. The box stays on around the clock. Sorts his inbox and drafts replies overnight. Watches eBay auctions and pings his phone when a price drops. Turns every saved article into a summary. He checks the results once, over coffee. Hard reasoning goes to Claude, $20 a month, the only subscription he kept. His AI stack used to cost $391 a month. Now it's $28. The card paid for itself in two weeks. $4,356 a year stays in his account. The gaming PC still sits under the desk. It just stopped sleeping. Save this before the window shuts.

    @RebelsAdventure @lisboas_lucas @Maololo118 For cost reasons, I use all sata drives. For the backups, I buy the empty Seagate USB enclosures people shuck the drives out of, from ebay and add an exos drive to it. They work reliably. USB3 isnt slow past the initial sync as your just doing differential backups.

    @SandyofCthulhu @Gingerblast I'm a new follower and my only disagreement on the piracy issue is stuff like semi-abandonware situations where a company owns the rights to an old game but has no current means of distribution, yet people want to play it without paying 300$ for an eBay copy.

    His OpenAI bill was $89 in September. $2,847 in October. Same client, same workflow, same code. Marcus runs a small legal-tech operation - contract analysis for a handful of mid-size firms. He'd built the whole thing on GPT-4o and it worked. Beautifully. The moment he stopped hand-holding it and let it actually process the queue - 340 contracts a day, average 40 pages, three analysis passes per document - the tokens didn't add up linearly. They exploded. He'd budgeted $200-400/month in API costs. October's real number was 7x that. On flat-fee client contracts. His margin didn't shrink. It went negative. That was the last month he paid OpenAI anything. Marcus is one of a specific kind of person quietly leaving cloud AI in 2026. Not the people using ChatGPT to draft emails - the frontier models are fine for that, and $20/month is nothing. The people leaving are the ones running actual workflows at scale, where every extra document, every extra agent loop, every extra analysis pass compounds directly onto a bill they never see coming until Stripe flags it. The subscription pitch was $20. The real number, once your automation starts working, is nowhere near that. Marcus bought a used Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 128GB unified memory. $3,200 on eBay. It sits on a shelf in a closet in his apartment, wired to a UPS, running 24/7. Llama 3.3 70B loaded permanently. Qwen 2.5 Coder swapped in for structured extraction. A 30B legal-domain fine-tune he trained on his own corpus of processed contracts. His electricity bill went up $11 a month. Same 340 contracts a day. Zero API costs. Zero data leaving his network. There's a therapist in Portland running a Mac mini M4 Pro with 48GB. $1,800 setup. She processes session notes, drafts treatment plans, does the paperwork insurance companies want - and legally none of it can touch ChatGPT because of HIPAA. Local AI isn't her cost decision. It's the only legal one. She saves maybe $60/month in subscriptions. That's not the point. The point is she can use AI at all. There's a solo dev in Prague running two Framework Desktops with the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip. 128GB unified memory each, networked together. He runs three Claude Code-style agents in parallel on local Qwen and DeepSeek models. Zero rate limits. Zero "context window exhausted" errors at 2am. Hardware paid for itself in 6 weeks. The workloads that make local AI worth it aren't "chat with an assistant." They're the ones cloud pricing punishes: Continuous classification of incoming email, tickets, documents. Multi-pass RAG over long documents. Agentic loops that iterate 40-100 times per task. Voice transcription and diarization at meeting scale. Batch enrichment of thousands of records. Anything running unattended overnight. Every one of these is a workflow where cloud pricing scales with success. Local doesn't. Here's the part nobody frames as the real story: the model you built on can be deprecated. The pricing you budgeted around can change overnight. The account you rely on can be flagged and put "under review" for three weeks. If OpenAI decides tomorrow that legal document analysis violates their usage policy, Marcus's business dies at 5pm. A local model doesn't get deprecated. Doesn't get repriced. Doesn't get an email saying your account has been suspended pending review. You own the weights. You own the runtime. You own the workflow. Marcus's Mac Studio processes contracts while he sleeps. Nobody can turn it off. Nobody can raise the price. Nobody can flag his account. It just runs.

    @DeeGeeGames2009 The problem I have with it is that I buy games second hand that I never played when they came out, mostly due to not having time when they’re released, and once I complete them I stick them back on eBay and sell them on, now I can’t do that, so I’ll just not play as much.
