  @JC_colleccoast That’s pretty cool man. I never thought about using ChatGPT for research. My my son and I PC Giants, 49ers, and Braves. Overtime with ripping we just accumulated too many cards. So about three months ago I started up at Ebay store for him. Normally, I check the sold items on eBay to get an accurate listing. My problem is getting the view. Not sure why some cards have a higher viewing than others. I have some that have been on there for two months with nothing.

  Someone runs a full Linux server in his apartment with 8 Xeon cores, 16 GB of RAM, and gigabit fiber, and now this video shows he pays $18 in electricity for the same specs AWS charges $350 a month for. The exact configuration on the screen: Debian 13 (trixie), kernel 6.12, x86_64. Intel Xeon with AVX2, AVX-512, AMX, AES, and VT-x. 8 cores, 8 threads. 128 GB virtual disk on ext4, used 5.5 GB. 16 GB of RAM, 13 GB free. No GPU. Network tested at 977 Mbps down, 259 Mbps up. That is a machine that would cost $310/month on AWS as a c7i.2xlarge, plus $40/month for the bandwidth if he moves any real amount of data. Somewhere around $350 to $400 a month for the same setup, sitting in an Amazon data center. He built the same thing at home. The hardware cost is a used server on eBay for about $500, or a mini PC with a modern CPU for around $700. The internet was already paid because he was paying for it anyway. Electricity for a machine running 24 hours a day at that CPU class is roughly $15 to $20 per month depending on where you live. Payback on the hardware: less than 2 months at AWS-equivalent rates. What he runs on it: A KVM virtual machine that hosts a chat interface called MUSK. Probably a locally-hosted language model, probably something in the Qwen or Llama family that fits in 16 GB of RAM at reasonable quantization. Files, backups, personal *** server, and whatever else he does not want sitting in someone else's data center. The reason the pattern matters is that the case for the public cloud was never really "the servers are cheaper." The case was "someone else deals with the hardware, the power, the network, and the failover." That case is still true for a business at scale. It is not really true for a single person running a personal server for himself. I checked my own AWS bill from last year after watching the video. I was paying $126 a month for an EC2 instance that was doing personal projects, backups, and hosting one small side app. I moved it to a $600 mini PC that I now keep in the closet next to the router. Ten months in, the mini PC has paid for itself twice and I am not going back. The video is short. It shows the specs on the screen and shows the network test. It does not sell a course or a Discord. Someone built the setup. Someone else already did the math. I just had to stop paying the cloud rent.

  I had to consult the Oracles (ai chatbots) to figure out the proper spell (prompt) to use in order to summon the demon (ebay customer service employee (actually quite nice)) to solve the issue Looks like everything will be resolved now. Let it be known that you CAN access a human on ebay customer support, if you're a powerful enough wizard

  @BowTiedBroke I bet 50% of the items on Amazon and eBay are counterfeit. I bought what I thought were real Yeti tumblers on Amazon . Quality looked legit, but packaging was full of spelling errors. Purchased supplements on Amazon but wanted cheaper. Found counterfeits on eBay for less.

  can’t stress it enough that doing cards can be done in so many different ways, what i do might not work for others and vis versa and there’s no wrong way when i buy im very picky and need the price point to feel right since i hold for a while, i also need it to be a player i believe in and the right parallel, i spend hours every week scanning here and ebay for guys on my list i have had my best year yet in sales and also inventory increasing in value but its taken 3 years to get to this point, a lot of trial and error as well as research i know no one is reading this all so ill finish it off with a #compdeeznuts🫡

  Dropshipping fake Jordans on eBay All auctions, made clear there was no receipt/authentication, usually went for $70-$100 Paid a guy named Tommy in HK $55 per pair landed when the listing ended. Sold a lot of Blackcat 3’s and at some point realized - Nike would only take down the fake colorways. The real colors almost always stayed up.

  NEW: 💰 Automated scalper bots now outnumber human buyers 10 to 1 on DDR5 memory listings. Bad bots accounted for 91% of traffic reaching one retailer's DDR5 product pages, polling listings every 6.5 seconds. Average 32GB DDR5-6000 kits surged from $72 last year to $392 on PCPartPicker. The cheapest 128GB DDR5-6400 kit tracked reached $3,399, ten times its record low pricing. On eBay, G.Skill 32GB kits listed for $836.54 against a $429.99 retail price. "Traffic analytics are probably understating the problem significantly." — Jérôme Segura Retail PC builders won't see normal memory pricing until at least 2027 while enterprise buyers soak up available DRAM production.

  @KellyCards You were offered a partial refund and declined, expedited the issue to eBay support for a full refund intentionally, and are more than likely going to pocket the card once it arrives. How is that “doing the right thing” exactly?

  @EggerDC Wrong. Those are not in a sealed box from the seller. Anyone could've tampered with that and what recourse would that person have? They bought of eBay AND Door Dash. That's illegal bud. You can't claim it's from Amazon, but really from the Krogers down the street. 🤡

  Day 194 Total sales: $599.00 eBay earnings: $102.82 Buy cost (COG): $15.54 Net profit: $87.28 ROI: 562% Today was definitely an unusual one. On paper, it looks like a slow day, but the story is a little different. 3 higher dollar orders were canceled before they shipped, which meant they hit today's numbers even though I still have the inventory ready to sell again. That's one thing I've learned about reselling, not every low profit day is a bad day. Sometimes it's returns. Sometimes it's cancellations. Sometimes it's just timing. The important part is that those items are still sitting on my shelf, ready to be sold to the next buyer. You can't control cancellations, but you can control how quickly you relist, how consistently you source, & whether you keep moving forward. Tomorrow is another opportunity, & those canceled items are already back in inventory waiting for their next sale. That's just part of the business. On to Day 195. 📦💪

  @BIGBetts1999 @CardPurchaser @eBay I had this issue with them and argued what they are really saying is the are subjectively “grading” the condition of cards rather than confirming authenticity. They disagreed and nothing came of it. Sent the card to PSA and it got a 9 which, to me, confirmed eBay was completely in the wrong and it cost me $400.00 in the difference between sales. Now, I keep all cards possible under authentication as they have no transparency or objective evaluation process.

  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  @lazudeepbluesea I did this before and at least where I am you can for $3 each, the problem is that each location is only given a few at once so they don't have a full set and don't know if they will get them all. Best bet is just ebay type place.

  @BIGBetts1999 @eBay If you got an email from ebay about an authentication issue, there should be a link to request a call from eBay's customer service team. Anytime I have an issue, I just go back and find the old authentication email, have them call me, then reference the new order # and get a resolution. Works 100% of the time. Good luck!

  Ordered a modded 3DS XL from ebay... turns out the Ribbon Cable that connects the top part with the lower part of the DS is broken. Which means in need to take the entire thing apart. But that explains why the seller didn't accept any returns... 🫠

  @JSM1884 Even markets in places like Buenos Aires are ***************. Desperate broke people on eBay are the best hope. Got my match issue tagged unworn Dock Sud on there for £20 after telling the woman nobody has heard of them and it'll be a tough sell. Same with my River tank for £16.
