    Making an informative post here about High-end #Riftbound market prices and stuff to be aware of after talking with several other high-end people, and also corroborating some of the prices on select items w/ @SehnbonTCG and others. As I'm seeing so much discussion on prices of cards/sales history on my timeline. I think it's important for there to be data points people can use, and then of course verification of things. So much discussion on Ahri/Jinx/Teemo card variants and also T1 boxes/signatures and misc rare items. Here is what certain letters will mean next to sale points: nc = noncompleted. pc = pure cash. c+t = cash and trade. t = trade. t = pure trade. o = offer. ? = Supposedly exists but I can't find anyone to 100% confirm. Best-Of Ahri: 46.2k (c+t), 30k, 30.3k, 30k, 32k, 42k, 35k, 40k, 50k, 45k, 115k, 133k, 270k (c+t), 200k< (? pc attempting to verify) is the the timeline of this cards sales not including exchanges of hands Best-Of Jinx: 30k, 25k, 28.5k, 30k, 26k, 25k, 33k, 60k(?) Best-Of Teemo: 3Xk(nc), 20k, 22k, 20k, 25k, 60k (onc), ?, 80k, ? BL OGN Sig Ahri: 45.5k (c+t), 50k(pc), 35k, 40k, 52k, 60k(c+t), 80k, One currently exists on consignment iirc. PSA10 MBA Black Diamond did NOT cause the PSA price to go up. BL SFD Sig Ahri: 16k, 18k, 20k(pc), 24k, 25k, 30k, 39k, 31k(c+t), 35k, 32k + Wild reported price points that aren't reflected in ebay auctions or requests BL Kai'Sa Sig: 32.5k, 40k, 45k, ? / Currently 2 are attempting to be sold w/ offers as high as 70k-80. BL GGEZ Teemo: 22k, 20k, 16k(pc), 25k, 20k(pc), 30k, 55k, 45k BL Panda Teemo: 10k, 45k, ? Other known BL Sigs: Various price points between 8k to 25k on recent sales, with the MF BL sale at 39k being most notable. Viktor jumped around from high 4's to almost 30k to now recently having been sold for low 20's. Lee Sin also has some interesting price points similar. Prizewall Metals: Highest sale point was 35k for Ahri and 20k+ for Teemo, several pure cash ones around 20~25k mark. Prize walls have been crashing hard recently. I believe as people realize PSA doesn't mean anything and so prices are starting to reflect the standard 10-12x divider of the best-Ofs + market correction. T1 English boxes: Lots of sales did happen at 9k+ price points. But there is a plethora of comps publicly searchable on Twitter/FB/etc around 3~4k. Current Ebay sales are around 4.5~5.5k The thing about the boxes is that you stand to open a Faker 20% of the time, and so their price is carried a bit by that. Figuring out a proper multipler on a sealed one risk is tricky. Watching how sale points go for Doran/Oner/Guma/Keria will affect the ebb and flow of boxes early on. Watching the current live auctions will be a good indicator of how things for sealed is going to turn out on these. Unlike Korean, English sealed boxes gain less by remaining sealed due to the absence of the godbox potential. T1 Korean boxes: These started at $3k~ and have gone down to $1.7~$2.1k steady, which is more impressive than ENG variant crash imo. It should be known that they [can] be found locally in Korea at price points between $943 USD to $1.4k USD range. They have gone up and down the past two weeks. To search these yourself go on bunjang dot co dot kr and search: 리프트바운드 T1 시그니처 . You can often be ghosted by the lister and the other scary thing about this is you need to confirm you're dealing with a Korean inside of Korea - otherwise the person can take the money and not deliver and Korean police will have no ability to do anything. Korean's are tied to their KSSN and can be tracked. Generally shipping is also a nightmare internationally and can add a lot of costs. Usually you'll need to pay a Korean to assist with these things due to the risk involved and headaches that can follow Korean T1 boxes have the godbox chance (0.4%) to get a signed box by the players. I expect there to be a clash on Korean vs English of select serials just going off requests/offers. T1 Chinese boxes: Like the Korean ones these are going for around $1200, but can be sourced locally in China for lower. Unfortunately these are harder to search than the Korean ones without assistance from someone who can make accounts on the sites. They can be found locally in China for as low as $650 in rare occasions. Unsure of the process of getting these out of China. Usually it involves a multi-step process and then the shipping also like Korea is a nightmare to anywhere outside of APAC regions. I don't see/get asked about these much at all, but honestly when I see some of the big sales in China from chinese collectors there might actually be more value to these than most people think. [IF] you hit the ultra rare serials lol. Random Best-Of's: Middle popular ones: Seems floor is around 35k~50k range. Non popular ones: The floor seems to be just below 20k where they are actively selling currently for a lot of the cards, but some have seen sales at low 10's. A general good rule for Best-Of's is to multiply the cards metal price for famous cards by 10-12x, and by 4-6x for non-popular ones. Misc rare things/limited promos: - Sealed Project K - Very hard to get data points on this, fast sales seem to be possible around 30k. - Riot VIP Summit mats/boxes - Very hard to get data points on this as well. For Ebay sale price point data, one of the most important things to do is 'see original listing' and check when/how/who did the bidding war. Even if you can't see the ID you can still see if it was just a battle of 2 people the entire time. This is unfortunately one of the potentially unfortunate sides of high-end because you can't tell if the auction is even legit. We saw this happen on a few Kai'Sa PSA10 auctions where the bidding history didn't make any sense and other BIN's sitting around didn't reflect the sudden bid-war. An example of a healthy bid-war that looks real you can search the BL SFD Ahri from July (both). Going to conclude with this: It seems like some stuff has slowed down and a market correction is going on, but at the same time some seem interested to prevent it. There is a need for transparency on these items and I hope this tweet can act as a source for some of it. Additionally I've heard claims of higher sell points on some cards but there is nothing reasonable for me to confirm it and so you won't see the numbers in this post. I'll likely end up discussing more stuff in a video at a later point. If you have questions feel free to DM my main @LSXYZ9 but please note I can be slow to reply depending on volume of messages on some days. I've been doing high-end collecting of MTG/PKMN/YGO for about 9 years now, but obviously I'm treating it a lot more serious with Riftbound because I love the game. Soon I'll be having a better data tracker for difficult to find sale data, and I'll also be having a website to help with things like this.

    I like how this individual says: "We have been having authenticity issues on Ebay." As the buyer or the seller? Verify my product or theirs? It sure seems like he or she is trying to get me to play Ansel Adams for their own motivations... Which, by the way, is a pretty good idea! (If you're a scammer, and lack all that critical packaging). Next time, maybe ask three legit sellers for two pictures each?

    @SawyerMerritt Nice of the Grok team, count me in. I built a tool that tracks used game prices on eBay and flags underpriced auctions. The messy part is seller descriptions — "PS4 slim + 2 controllers, one drifts, cracked case" and my parser gives up. I'd use the credits to fix that.

    $GME shares fall to a two-year low of $17.87, down from an April high of $26.90, as investors await earnings on Tuesday. The decline follows reports that the company may scrap its potential acquisition of eBay. Revenue reached $835 million in the March quarter.

    Day 206 Total sales: $1,148.99 eBay earnings: $854.40 Buy cost (COG): $296.57 Net profit: $557.83 ROI: 188% Items sold: Home protection equipment, pressure washer part, automotive part, battery charger, carburetor, & sports training equipment. Another $1K+ sales day. 🔥 The key is having enough quality inventory listed to make these days possible. Today's sales also came from several completely different categories, which continues to reinforce the importance of diversifying inventory rather than relying on one type of product. The work continues behind the scenes too. Refresh old listings Fix listings that aren't getting attention Adjust pricing on stale inventory Keep sourcing Keep listing 206 days in & I'm still pushing forward. Some days are small. Some days are big. But the goal is the same every day, keep moving the business forward. On to Day 207. 📦💪🚀

  • sierrastrades
    Alex Thompson (@sierrastrades) reported

    TL;DR Sales down, profits up, cash lower because they turned the eBay options into real shares. • Sales: $780–800M vs $972M last year. Drop is mostly Switch 2 anniversary, store closures, and selling France. • Operating income: $150–170M vs $66M. Core operations got a lot more profitable. • Net income: $290–310M vs $169M. Includes ~$238M eBay gain, minus ~$75M digital-asset loss. • Cash: $5.05–5.07B vs $8.69B last year. Cash fell because they converted the eBay derivatives into 43.4 million eBay shares, now worth about $4.95B. • Full results drop September 8.

    One guy in a home server rack is running four Grok Bots that hunt eBay for Sony PVMs, track Galaxy Z Fold observations, and remember what he cared about yesterday. The article above is the 26 bot version of what he's doing, scaled to cover everything a brain is supposed to hold. Four bots in the video, named Otis, Scout, Milo, and Notion. Each has one job, all sharing the same cloud computer so their memory stacks instead of resetting each session. The author's setup extends that from 4 to 26 named agents like Voice Notes, Task Queue, Contact Graph, Idea Vault, Knowledge Graph. One Chief routes between them like a shift manager, and none of them forget what happened last week. That last part is what changes the product category. A chat tab is a fresh session every time. A Second Brain is the same room where you left your notebook open yesterday. Tiago Forte named the methodology years ago. The framework has PARA folders and a capture organize distill express workflow. The stack to run it never existed until now. Notion held the folders but didn't do the thinking. Chat tabs did the thinking but forgot the folders. Grok Bot's persistent shared cloud computer is what makes the methodology executable in software for the first time, because memory across sessions turned out to matter more than the model or the prompt. The three monetization paths in the article come with real numbers. Solo operators can sell this as a $1,500 to $3,000 setup with a monthly retainer, capping at around 13 active clients before their own hours become the bottleneck. The video is one guy's personal use case. The article scales it to an operator playbook you can sell. What's the one thing your brain keeps forgetting that would actually pay you back if a bot remembered it for you?

  • Founder_Tribune
    Founder Tribune (@Founder_Tribune) reported

    Sheryl Sandberg on the best hiring pitch she's ever received: Sandberg is talking about what her parents taught her. Working on things that matter, and doing "the right thing for the right reason." She's blunt about the unglamorous part: "all the stuff out there on grit and determination and working in things that are challenging is all true." There's "no substitute for hard work." But hard work alone isn't the lesson. The lesson is who it's for. "We need to remind kids that they're not just doing for them, they're contributing. And we need to remind people of that in the workplace." Then she tells the story she calls the best hiring experience she's ever had, the one she put in Lean In. Lori Goler was at eBay in marketing. She called Sandberg when Sandberg went to Facebook and said: "I think I want to come work with you at Facebook." What came next is the part worth stealing: "So, I thought I'd call you and tell you all the things I like to do and all the things I'm good at, but I figure everyone's doing that. So, instead, I'm going to call you and say, 'What's your biggest problem and how can I solve it?'" Sandberg's frustration is that the story is famous and nobody copies it: "Lean In sold millions of copies, millions of people have hopefully read at least part of the book... But I don't see that many people coming into the workplace asking what they can do for the company." Her promise, if you flip it: "Ask what you can do. I promise you will get mentors, you will get sponsors, you will get results, you will get promotions, you will get opportunities by contributing." And the reason the self-focused version fails: "If it is about you, it won't happen because organizations are not about you." Organizations are about their mission. "And when you serve that mission, and when you work hard towards the betterment of the people around you. And I think I learned that at home, that's where real success comes from." The obvious move here is to treat "what's your biggest problem?" as a networking script. Sandberg closes that door herself: "But you can't fake it. You can't be like, 'I'm going to pretend to care about everyone else in our mission to get myself ahead.' That won't work. You actually have to care." Which turns the whole thing into a filtering problem rather than a technique. If the caring has to be real, then the decision that matters happens before the interview: "So, you have to go work someplace with people you can care about and with a mission you can care about."

    @foreverboy1111 @HitsAndCharts Regarding AG, it has been happening for years with all kinds of artists. You know based on the promoter and country who generally backdoor some stock. Regarding TM, I think it's the best to say what happened in Ireland: During covid, some shady lobbying pulled through a sale above FV ban with enough enforcement that websites left Ireland. LN/TM bought up almost all venues and as a result 96.8% or something like that of tickets are sold now on Ticketmaster in Ireland. Because of most secondaries leaving, only ticketswap, twickets and tm resell are left. Twickets closes 5 hours before the event, ticketswap randomly closes selling and it has terrible support and TM resell gets enabled and disabled randomly. On all you pay at least 20%. Sometimes tm resell is enabled and they turn transfer off forcing you to sell through TM either way. (fv exchanges don't accept securemypass) Sometimes they close transfer and resell when an event isnt selling well (Ed Sheeran last year) Now comes the catch, getting tickets for popular events has become a nightmare. FV went up many % and often more expensive than other euro countries. If an event is popular, you can't go to StubHub and pay a bit more. You need to buy on eBay or most often on Facebook shady groups with bank transfer. TM washes their hands because they aren't doing anything bad. High face values, full control of the market and full control of all tickets. If an event doesn't do well, they can close resell and transfer and people are forced to buy expensive primary tickets cuz no 10$ tickets on StubHub

    He built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;

  • KiroIkigai
    Kiro (@KiroIkigai) reported

    The most reliable way to misread an earnings report is to start at the bottom line. $GME just posted preliminary net income up roughly 78% on net sales down roughly 19%. Both numbers are real. Only one of them is about the business. The quarter, company figures: -net sales: $780M to $800M, vs $972.2M a year ago -net income: $290M to $310M, vs $168.6M -operating income: $150M to $170M, vs $66.4M The bridge from falling sales to rising profit is one line. Roughly $238M of gains on an eBay derivative asset and an equity investment, less roughly $75M of digital-asset losses. about $163M of pre-tax marks. For scale: that eBay exposure is carried at about $4.947B. the company books about $790M of sales in a quarter. when the portfolio is that big, the income statement is partly a report on the portfolio. Credit where due: operating income more than doubled. that is a bigger percentage jump than the net income line everyone quotes. smaller, tighter, better-run retailer. real progress. not the headline story. Keep this part: -net income up while revenue is down: find the non-operating line first. it is usually one line, and it is usually named -size the securities book against the operating result. a $5B position swamps a sub-$200M quarter, in both directions -falling sales with improving operating income is a cost story. real, but a different story from the headline I am fully invested, and none of this changes that. guidance direction and price reaction have been disagreeing all earnings season. last Thursday five of seven reporters raised guidance and four of the seven closed lower. reading the price as the verdict on the numbers is the error. The case against: I may be underselling the operating turn, which more than doubled at every point of the guided range. and these are preliminary figures. no call is scheduled, and complete results are due September 8. $GME $EBAY

    People really need to look at where $GME's profitability is actually coming from. The core retail business isn't funding any of these investments because store revenue keeps dropping year after year. ​The cash pile being parked in Treasury bonds and eBay stock came directly from diluting shareholders and issuing convertible debt. They are basically collecting interest on capital raised by printing new stock while closing down physical locations. ​When your net income depends on yield from diluted money while total retail sales keep collapsing, you aren't seeing a business turnaround. You are just watching a retail chain slowly convert itself into a passive investment fund. I've been saying that for more than 2 years now.
