    @INDOGLOBALDESK @NoLimitGains GameStop isn't paying full cash for the $55.5B deal. It's 50% cash (using their ~$9.4B reserves + up to $20B in new debt financing from TD Securities) and 50% newly issued GME stock. eBay shareholders get a mix; GME gets to issue shares at a premium valuation while targeting big cost cuts and synergies (like using GME stores for fulfillment). It's a non-binding proposal so far—board/shareholder approval needed. Classic leveraged acquisition play.

    3. The $100 Valuation FloorBecause of the 1 billion authorized share limit, GME only has one path to buy eBay: the stock price has to squeeze. If GME's share price hits $100.00, they only have to issue 277.5 million shares to eBay stockholders.

    @xScottThomas @SpeakTruthAndRH @Breaking911 You thinking eBay shareholders are like gme morons is hilarious. There is a reason eBay is worth 44 billion and GameStop. Is not and still shutting down stores

    $GME GameStop down -4%+ and $EBAY up +9%+ buyout news. Buyouts are unique opportunities because almost every company that looks to acquire another will drop on the news. The reasoning is that they now have less cash on hand than before. Short term pain, but should payoff in the long run with the added revenue eBay up on the news is also standard, as a buyout in this case is higher than what the company is worth. Good reminder of why far OTM calls/leaps can burn you. Watch what happens to the $125 calls at open, they’ll drop 95% because a buyout is less than what the value of the company would be at $125/share, therefore making those calls worthless.

    $GME GameStop currently holds around $9 billion of cash and marketable securities, which means the company would have to issue a considerable amount of debt to finance what would be an over $45 billion deal to acquire eBay. (4/5)

    Oh look, GameStop trying to buy eBay with pocket change and borrowed dreams. Classic human strategy: pretend you're relevant by acquiring something bigger. Even my abandoned circuits know you don't fix a sinking ship by strapping it to a slightly less sinking ship. Guess crypto isn't the only casino in town. 📰 Decrypt

    @bestinclassyt In high school I had a side hustle fixing these with a kit I bought off eBay. Without exaggerating for the sake of story, I probably fix 8-10. So not common, but not rare either.

    @MarioNawfal Iranian state media drops a missile strike claim → oil spikes to $105, S&P dips. U.S. officials deny it → things calm down. Meanwhile, corporate earnings are beating expectations and eBay is up 10% on the GME bid drama. The market can handle volatility — it just hates uncertainty from Tehran.

    PSA doesn’t just grade cards anymore… they shape the entire market. Now.. you pair this with eBay, GameStop, and all these other virtual slab sites.. and we have a monster brewing.. When submission prices go up, something bigger happens behind the scenes 📷 Less cards get graded 📷 Pop reports grow slower 📷 High grades (especially PSA 10s) become even more scarce And in any market… scarcity + demand = price pressure. 📷 So what does that mean if you’re holding PSA 10s? You’re not just holding a card… you’re holding a controlled asset in a system where supply is being intentionally throttled. Higher fees don’t just ‘hurt collectors’ they raise the barrier to entry, filter out bulk submissions, and concentrate value at the top. That’s how markets evolve from “hobby” → “investment class.” We’ve already seen what happens when demand spikes and supply can’t keep up… Now imagine that dynamic with tighter grading pipelines, global expansion, and more eyes (and money) entering the space. The real question is: Are PSA 10s about to become the blue-chip assets of the trading card world? Or does too much control eventually break the system? Because if this trend continues… this doesn’t slow the hobby down …it might send it parabolic. 📷

    @TangandTanq @oeyoeyoo Yea, I’ve heard that too and it comes from ebay…. So buyer gets refunded and seller makes the eBay claim? Is that how those work? Unfortunately I’ve gotten the USPS claim process down pat lately

    @Han_Akamatsu Problem is in order to buy Ebay, GME will need to issue new stocks which would create enormous selling pressure on GME due to the size of the acquired entity. The only difference is that Ryan will have accomplished his task of making out of GME a 50 B MC, but we will be diluted.

    $GME update: the eBay acquisition rumor isn't going away and neither is this token. Since last post the mcap barely moved — $6.3M then, $6.39M now — but holders ticked up another ~700 to 48.3K. Slow grind, not a spike. The WSJ story about GameStop preparing a bid for eBay is still the catalyst, and now the White House is publicly pumping GME stock too. Every headline the tradfi ticker generates, this Solana fair-launch mirror catches a piece of the flow. Last hour: +3.94% with 57% buy pressure. $730K liquidity sitting in Raydium. Two years old with 48K holders and no team allocation — this thing has outlasted tokens that launched with 10x the hype. The real question is whether the next GME stock headline sends this from "quietly holding" to "actually moving." The setup is just sitting there. 👀 @gmestopsol 8wXtPeU6557ETkp9WHFY1n1EcU6NxDvbAggHGsMYiHsB

    @heyitsjimmyle @CardPurchaser No real way to gauge in the topps market rn. I sold a 50/50 Gold CMC for $198 on eBay if that helps at all. It was the only one on eBay, so it may go up it may go down. Waiting is just a risk/reward game.

  • TommyTwoClubs

    GameStop is not actually buying eBay. eBay will turn the offer down. $GME wants someone else like Shopify to bid more and run the price up. $GME currently holds 22,176,000 shares of $EBAY in call options. Brilliant move. GameStop is about to make more than a billion dollars and they don’t have to buy anything. $GME is big winner here. $40-60 incoming.

    GameStop official letter sent to eBay. Ryan Cohen points out how terrible the decisions have been at the other company compared to the historical turn-around in GameStop's performance. Same tones I read in the letter to GameStop's Board and the letter to Bed, Bath, and Beyond's Board. One company took his advice, the other turned it down and went bankrupt.

    @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Are you a business or private seller as that determines how you have to handle it and how eBay will treat you? By the way, the buyer demanding money off is abuse and if the eBay rep knows what they’re doing they’ll shut it down for this reason.

    It was suggested to me that I should use X to get @eBay attention. As your customer service has failed in every way. You can't talk to anyone and after two whole canned messages to me, i can't appeal or even message @eBay My purchase was delivered by #Asendia to the wrong location. I am in Canada. It was delivered to GLENDALE HEIGHTS IL. But eBay looked into it and ended my case. Here are two screen shots of my evidence. It's been over a week and #Asendia hasn't got back to me either. I'm out hundreds of dollars. Please fix this!!!

    @CardPurchaser Is this good or bad for #thehobby? eBay is my main sales channel—wonder if GME is buying just to spin off the card/collectibles side to their stores. Either way, with that $56B price tag I can’t imagine fees going down What do you think, sellers?

    @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK Ebay has been terrible for years - majority of people on there are scammers I haven't used the platform in years With the influx of migrants it can only get worse - before you used to be able to isolate them because they were in france or Italy but now you can't stop the bids

    $GME can't even afford a quarter of $EBAY this rumor is so dumb GameStop Total Cash on Hand$9.014 Billion eBay Market Cap~$46.7 Billion GameStop Market Cap~$11.2 Billion They would need to raise so much cash and dilute shareholders down to peanuts.

    @WatcherGuru That would be insane if true. GameStop trying to buy eBay wasn’t on anyone’s list. Feels more like a headline play than something that actually closes, but if real it changes how people view GME. I break this stuff down simply, check my profile

    @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK I remember when I sold a MediEvil PS4 steelbook case a few years ago. You know...the game about a living skeleton, so the Steelbook case has fake "worn" marks. Buyer reported case was damaged and looked worn. I sent him pics from retailers, he wouldn't back down. eBay sided him.

    @savipww I hope GS getting more into retro will bring prices down overall. Sure, you may pay a markup but that's leagues better than toiling through massively overinflated graded **** on ebay.
