  @PaxCybertron I wasn't too happy, either. After putting this up, I asked ChatGPT what the DHL charge usually is for a voyager and deluxe combined, and it said anywhere from $25 - $40. So, not terrible on the low end, and considerably less than what we'd pay on eBay on the high end

  @r_zthai I’m glad I decided to pull and inspect the motor controller before completely pulling off the front panel - There were quite a few more screws to get at before that was gunna be done lol. Yeah, this machine is like the opposite of serviceable. Contributed a bit to my desire to replace it. What’s that old saying? “If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it”? Guess in my case its “if it’s a PITA to fix, maybe I don’t want to own it” lol Question remains: I can get a replacement control board on eBay for about $85. There’s a case to be made for fixing it and slinging it on Craigslist for a couple bucks to recoup some cash. Or just slinging it as-is for less, now that I’ve identified the problem.

  I will clarify that apparently normal math says radiation can't cause this melting, and as said I do not have the case or front/clock back anymore, I do have the electronics and motor but I keep checking, there's no beta/gamma, so again unless it was alpha, but first picture is of it, second is of the one off of eBay, third is how I had them initially in my garage and is the best side by side with the clock that has radium but can I ask if there is a possibility I have deliberately not been given information?, there is more I can say on this but, my guess is that it almost looks like the one that did it may have sat on top of the one with radium? Also I don't know if they were plugged in at all or how long, which I think might make it worse but does it almost look like the radiation was attracted to the clock? If it was on top of should mean a reduced chance of radon(there is a thought on that as well(not blank)) and I don't know ventilation but also then alpha should have issues making to through the plastic?(Correct?), which points to beta gamma again. There's the option of just indirect heat to melt it but it still looks weird, also again nothing visible on the electronics of heat and nothing there but the clock. I have thought of things from the factory? Or what the exact "lighted dial" means, there was a clear?, portion I would have thought was LED but could it have been more?(There's no way there's tritium right? I didn't turn it on, and also wouldn't explain the melting?). I have also thought of cigarette residue, but I feel it still wouldn't explain I'm assuming a dose of anything from 0.25-0.5Sv, if it has to be done at one time and for there to be a timeline. I also have other thoughts of "how military connected" or otherwise this is because can you spot at least one more interesting connection?

  @Kappaemme1926 Had the same thing. The CPU throttles because there's because there is no fan. Mac minis seem way overpriced right now. And they're hard to get. I started buying MacBook Pros off eBay with broken screens. More or less a Mac mini with a UPS. and 2/3 cheaper. My experiments suggest there's not much difference between a Mac mini and a MacBook Pro in terms of performance if they have the same chip.

  @OliverStre92313 @marvellous_main In other words, here's how it goes. I got some Thomas items signed by the cast and crew, put them up for auction at a starting bid price on eBay, and waited for seven days to see if its succeeded, and once thats down, I sent the right items to the right people and donated.

  My second daughter had an elephant she slept with as a toddler. One night it was misplaced and it was torture for her. We found it the next day but I still hunted down an exact copy on eBay to hide in my closet in case it ever happened again.

  @ManFirestorm I did similar a few years ago. I went from 15 long boxes down to about 4. Sold to my LCS at, I’m sure, a significant financial loss to me, if I had the time and energy to properly sell all those books (eBay, whatever). Figured my downsizing would help out their business.

  @askebay I have an item (sports card) that went through ebay authentication and now the buyer is try to return it as not as described. I thought the ebay authentication existed precisely to stop these types of returns. Is there someone I can speak to about this issue?

  @fasc1nate You can have a forever bulb too; just run any incandescent bulb at 1/10 it's rated power, like this bulb. The downside is you will pay much more for lighting, since efficiency goes way down when the blackbody radiation peak drops below the visible range. In simpler terms, when you run the bulb cool, paradoxically a larger fraction of its energy goes to produce heat rather than light. Before LEDs, this was considered a good trade for street light bulbs, since they are expensive to replace and a burned out bulb could cause an accident. You can probably still buy an old 20,000-hour streetlight incandescent bulb on eBay, but you won't want to, because it costs too much to run.

  Bob Nolan (@buddhalite) reported 35 minutes ago

  @ValueAddedRS @_bismack_ I don't agree people will stop bidding, simply bc the things still slow at auction are still predominantly sold at/on eBay. It'll be a shift, but as a seller (I don't do auctions) there's nothing but upside and for buyers the experience wi be 10x better.

  @TapeTorque That definitely is. I’ve found some as low as 5% (MannKind) and as high as 20% (Better Home and Finance) Question really comes down to what price was RC willing to base the discount off of with the eBay deal looming? $24 post dilution was the low end of my range I thought he’d use

  @ElizaH64344 I used to sell a lot of stuff on eBay. Gave up cos it's constant delivery problems, people not paying after winning auctions, people nit picking etc. problem is they complain and then your sellers account gets put on hold until the issue is resolved. The whole thing is annoying

  @Cleightron Yeah ram has been an issue. I am lucky I found an old dell server that I run proxmox on that had 144gb in it. So it hosts my home assistant and jellyfin. I buy everything off ebay or marketplace so I have been pretty lucky with ram. I really have an overkill setup tho

  @AKABrewersBeat Police? Yes! Lawyer? Yes! eBay? Yes! PSA should have insurance for this? This is a financial issue. Financial institutions like Vanguard and Fidelity have operational procedures in place. A client cannot change the address or bank account and then withdraw equity (in this case your cards) without the institution being able to confirm that the actual client (you!) Is the one making the change. Those institutions spend a lot of money to prevent fraud. You should expect the same from PSA. Who can say that someone working at PSA did not do this? Like Lucy, PSA has a lot of 'splaining to do.

  BREAKING: “The Great Card Collector Uprising” Erupts at the 2026 National CHICAGO — What was supposed to be the biggest weekend in the hobby turned into absolute chaos Saturday afternoon as thousands of frustrated collectors reportedly staged a mock “uprising” inside the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention. Witnesses claim the trouble started after a dealer allegedly placed a $4,800 price tag on a base rookie card that had just dropped 60% in value the week before. Within minutes, collectors began chanting: “COMPS! COMPS! SHOW THE COMPS!” The crowd reportedly marched through the convention carrying homemade signs reading: “No More eBay 1-of-1’s!” “Stop Calling Everything Grail!” “Wax Shouldn’t Cost My Mortgage!” The biggest confrontation occurred when several breakers attempted to livestream a five-case break while collectors demanded the boxes be sold at MSRP instead. Security reportedly diffused the situation after someone offered everyone free penny sleeves and top loaders. Perhaps the strangest moment came when dozens of PSA submission forms were tossed into the air like confetti as one collector shouted, “We’re grading memories now!” Several dealers attempted to calm the crowd by announcing “Show Specials,” only to be booed after revealing the discount was $5 off a $3,000 card. By late afternoon, convention organizers restored order after opening an emergency trade zone where collectors agreed to settle disputes the old-fashioned way—arguing over centering while swapping cards. No serious injuries were reported, although several wallets were said to be “critically depleted.” One exhausted attendee summed up the day perfectly: “I came looking for a bargain… and left with three boxes of wax, buyer’s remorse, and a dream.” Convention officials later confirmed attendance remained strong and described the incident as “the most passionate debate over cardboard we’ve ever witnessed.” 🚨 This story is completely fictional and intended as satire.
