  @Sweatypalmssss But we’ve done that and the stock is down by a lot. I think the problem is poor capital allocation. Sat on cash, wasted some on bitcoin, diluted for a low return eBay acquisition.

  @island_xd The T1 bunfle is like… okay ish to buy online. My issue is the amount of people with like 5 of them in their ebay shop cause they circumvented the rules. The real scalper problem is when product intended for play is all bought out to scalp and hard to get because of it.

  The professor who designed America's health insurance system covering 330 million people teaches this class for free on YouTube. His students have gone on to advise governments, run hedge funds, and build policy at the World Bank. This is lecture 1. In 1776 Adam Smith asked why diamonds cost more than water. Water keeps you alive. Diamonds do not. The demand for water is enormous. The demand for diamonds is small. By any rational logic, water should cost more. He was wrong about what he was measuring. This is Jonathan Gruber, MIT 14.01, Microeconomics. The man who built the mathematical model behind Obamacare and Romneycare. The man who testified before Congress six times. He now teaches the most foundational idea in economics to anyone willing to watch. Smith's error was looking at only half the picture. He saw demand. He missed supply. Water is everywhere. Diamonds are rare. When supply is low enough, even something nobody needs can cost more than something everyone needs. That single insight became the foundation of every economic model ever built - and every career in finance, policy, and consulting that depends on it. He opens with opportunity cost. Every decision you make has a cost. Not just the money you spend. The thing you did not do instead. If you buy a rose for $3, you gave up a slice of pizza and a Coke. If the price rises to $4, the opportunity cost rises too. You want fewer. That is why demand curves slope downward. Not because of some law. Because of what you gave up. Then supply. A farm can grow roses or something else. When the price of roses is low, the farmer grows something else. When the price rises high enough, roses become the better choice. The opportunity cost of not growing roses becomes too high. That is why supply curves slope upward. Then the equilibrium. Two equations, two unknowns. Demand: quantity equals 1,800 minus 400 times price. Supply: quantity equals 200 times price. Set them equal. You get 600 roses at $3 each. At that price, buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to sell. The system has come to rest. Then the kidney on eBay. Someone auctioned one in the 1990s. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. The positive question: why did the price get so high? Easy. Enormous demand, almost no supply. The normative question: should we be allowed to sell our organs? The market delivers the right quantity. It does not deliver fairness. Watch the moment he says economics is fundamentally a right-wing science. Then says he is a left-wing guy. Then explains why both things can be true at the same time. A policy analyst I know rewatched this before their first week at a government economics office. Said it was the first time supply and demand felt like a lens rather than a diagram. Free on YouTube, MIT OpenCourseWare, Creative Commons license. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every price you see will feel like a supply and demand equation waiting to be solved

  Caller: “Dave… I’m 16. I’m making $50–80k a month dropshipping and flipping on Amazon/eBay. I’ve got over $300k sitting in PayPal right now. But I’m hiding all of it from my mom because she’s traditional and I know she’ll freak out and make me stop.” Dave: “Son, that income is impressive as hell. If you were my kid I’d tell you to keep running it while the window is open. But the secret? That part’s not sitting right with me. Find one adult you both respect, sit down, and have the grown-up conversation. And while this money is printing, start stacking real skills and education, because internet trends don’t last forever. You’re crushing it right now. Don’t let the lie become the thing that sinks you.”

  @BigDwoowoo @NTSurvivors I hate to say it but I think the Bar Association was taken over by them, to control who is allowed to practice law, and now all lawyers seem to cut you off at mention of the word "surveillance." If you are motivated, you could go Pro-se, and use a specialist AI like Courtroom 5. You can talk to it like me, and it will tell you step by step what to do, and churn out all the paperwork you would need. But you are going to need hard evidence. The best evidence I think you will get will come from getting a thermal camera like maybe a Goyojo monocular on a tripod (as low as a few hundred on EBAY), set it up to record you while you sleep, and put a layer of foil on top of paper towels (to keep it cool) over you. The beam should heat the foil, and in my case I have a nice image of a TEM-02 or TEM-03 laser bloom actively focusing on the foil, and from how it skims, you can show it is coming from the neighbor's house. You will get discovery, and from there you can get creative. But it will be an uphill battle for now. IMO, things are changing, and in one to three years, I predict there are national revelations of massive criminality in the IC, and the legal terrain will shift massively in our favor. At that point the biggest problem will be waiting to get heard, among all the cases against all the surveillance people. Hang tough brother.

  If you want to contribute to someone actually rebuilding, you could donate even a few cents to my van fund. Its literally where I'll be living. I'm an experienced van lifer, due to a medical condition, its really best for me. I had to close my businesses 3 years ago. Then I lost my wheels 2 years ago after an accident & ended up selling assets to survive my revovery. Now I'm without wheels Airbnb hopping with my dog Joey until I get myself another van. I had to leave thd house it was not a good place for me physically or mentally. They aren't expensive. Im finding what I need is between3-5k in good enough condition & I'll fix & paint it myself while making a living selling vintage items I find on my travels & that i have in storage. Also experienced at ebay & online sales, 30 years experience selling & shipping & have even higher hopes now with Xmoney being available. I also still have assets to sell, so you could buy something that you like & its helpful. I will share my journey & daily experiences from the road. And I'll teach shipping tricks & how to spot things you can make money on. I like to teach. I did 1M on ebay the first time in 2000 & while I dont think I'll take it that far this time, I could teach you how. I work every day. Always have. But a hand up wouldn't hurt & I'm not normally one to ask. I'm used to doing the giving but the thought of being completely homeless does scare me. I dont drink or use drugs. I do use ********. In fact I used it to cure my cancer & I still microdose to keep it away. I ran a recovery & homeless mission from my last retail location. A van would completely prevent further personal disaster. So I'm working hard. I dont know if I'd survive the streets with my medical conditions. So, while I've always been the breadwinner & the giver my whole life, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my legs cut off & my hands tied. None of it was my fault, but I'm recovering alone. I dont have family to help. For once in my life, I wouldn't mind a little help. Its hard asking, but when I'm on my feet again, I can go back to being the giver. All I need is a van. Let's get me in one. I won't let anyone down.

  When I wait in line usually all the people are so chill and excited to get their hands on their new item they want. I’ve been in line where people order pizzas for everybody, I’ve had some moms hand out water and snacks for people. When I waited for the Nintendo Wii at Target, I brought a few cases of soda and cookies for anybody who wanted some. Needless to say it’s normally a good time but there are occasions when it’s not. A man who was notorious for cutting lines and claims he was already there gets called out. It gets so bad that a man who had his kids with him waiting in line had to show him he had a weapon for him to back off. When I was waiting in line for the Xbox 360 it was already tense since Microsoft announced there would not be enough to go around. But nobody prepared themselves for the actual number they were getting. Walmart was going to release it at midnight so when I got off work, I headed 10 minutes down the street to the Macedonia Walmart. People were waiting in line at the electronics department. I was 4th in line. The the person in front of me looked like a middle aged man, all he could talk about was how he was going to sell it on EBay for $1000. We overheard him talking on the phone with friends telling them to come down and each buy one for him, he would give them the money for it and then they could sell more on EBay. By the time his friends came, the line was all the way to the front of the store, it was crazy how many people were in line already. There was only an hour left to wait. When his friends got there he flagged them to join him in line. They casually walked to the front and got in line with him, I went from 4th in line to 6th in line. I told him this wasn’t allowed and his friends had to go to the end. He claimed he was saving a spot for them, I told him I heard his call and that was 5 hours ago, didn’t matter anyways because they were never there. I called for a manager. But right as that happened, an employee came out and gave a voucher for the system to the first and second in line. He apologized that they only had two total systems on hand only. I was already angry at that time because of the guys who cut me in line, I was like you seen us wait here since 6pm, why didn’t you tell us at that time you only had 2, you made us wait here for nothing. People were angry and left. I hurried up and drove a half an hour to fairlawn because I knew the US Merchandise store would have it and that most people didn’t know that. The only problem was that they weren’t releasing until the store opened at 9am the next day. So after waiting 5 hours I went and waited another 9 hours and was able to get one.

KIMI DOES THE SAME WORK FOR $19/MO 03:11 he's holding a molex adapter he already knows is a mistake and says "this is so not a good idea, like this is a pretty foolish idea, I should not be doing this really" 2 tesla k80s for $150 -> 48gb of vram on paper -> no video out on either card -> no video out on the motherboard either -> hunt down a single-slot gpu just to see BIOS -> the y-splitter that shipped with them is bridged wrong -> improvise from three 6-pin rails -> 266 watts at idle -> 6 beeps -> nothing on screen kepler shipped in 2014, nvidia cut cuda support in 2018, and datacenters dumped millions of these onto ebay where they still list as "AI accelerator, 24GB" because 24 is a bigger number than 12 and nobody checks the compute capability the honest part: he swapped both cards, pulled the sata power, ran one alone off the correct rails, and neither one posted, the host boots fine with the slot empty, $150 gone and the weekend with it 2x tesla k80 + dual xeon host + 3d printed 120mm shroud + molex-to-8pin adapters + 6 bios beeps + zero tokens generated watch and save it, then kill your $439 stack this weekend, kimi does the same work at $19 flat and the whole map is in the article below

  Millions of Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay sellers still write listings once and leave money on the table. Built Vendograph to fix that. The platform generates, keyword-optimizes, and split-tests product copy across every channel — then auto-deploys the winner. Live soon.

  Vitaliy Sokolov (@askvitaliy_) reported 48 minutes ago

  @SMB_Attorney When I started in business, you had to put the card in that little manual knuckle-buster imprinter with the carbon paper. That meant the card was physically present. Back in the day, we made a photocopy of the customer's credit card and ID to verify they were actually there and check their face against the ID. People literally never disputed a charge unless their card was physically stolen, at which point they would call the bank, say they were robbed, and provide a police report. Where this all went wrong was with eBay and PayPal. Suddenly it became: "You didn't get the product" or "It's not what you expected," followed by endless disputes. That is where it all began. When it comes to smaller banks, if you send them evidence, they will actually read it. But with the top ten banks in the United States, the person reviewing your case is almost certainly overseas (like Chase having reps in the Philippines). Do you think they read it or care what you wrote? Customers claim they never received a product, so we submit the UPS label, tracking data, GPS coordinates, and the delivery photo showing the package dropped at their door. You still lose the dispute. Why? Because nobody actually reviews the evidence; they just decide at random. The entire credit card processing system is fundamentally broken, driven by two core issues: 1. Widespread customer abuse with zero accountability: Customers increasingly abuse chargebacks simply to avoid paying for items, especially high-value goods, because they know there are no consequences. Even when customers dispute a charge by accident (for example, mixing it up with other unrecognized charges) and promise via email to call their bank and fix it, they forget, and the merchant still loses. Furthermore, most businesses do not work with direct merchant acquirers; they use payment aggregators who do not fight chargebacks the same way a direct processor would. The banks simply do not care enough to fix this. 2. Outdated legacy infrastructure and evaluation: The evidence-collection and review processes are completely archaic. AI would make far better, fairer decisions analyzing dispute evidence than manual overseas reviewers. People often blame Visa or Mastercard, but chargeback decisions are made by the issuing banks. Payment processors love to label businesses as "high risk." We are not high-risk; the issue is simply that consumers buy items they do not want to pay for. If the industry had a centralized database tracking how many chargebacks an individual consumer files across cards, the "high-risk merchant" label wouldn't even need to exist, because verifying buyer legitimacy would be straightforward. Back in the day, merchant processors physically visited your business to inspect your operation and verify your inventory before giving you merchant access. Today, aggregators let anyone instantly open an account without even verifying their identity, enabling scammers to set up fake storefronts selling $50 iPhones. Then, two days later, they freeze legitimate accounts demanding identity verification out of nowhere. The entire model needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
