  @EternalEnglish In related news - I'm dealing with an issue of foreign origin on eBay - A Lithuanian living in Scotland sold me some headphones, there's a problem with them and he probably knew about it, now trying to manipulate the eBay rules to deny me the return - Had to call eBay last night.

  @Ay2G @bourassa_kyle @eBay I posted a public thread that highlights some of the issues and things to check. If you compare against a known good example, you'll see several differences.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  Weirdly enough, one of the hardest Thomas characters to find on eBay is Thomas himself, because it's hard to narrow down that you're looking for the guy himself and not just the brand.

  Cryptography held. One unchecked flag didn't. Unit 42 found malware on Windows can sign a valid Google passkey login with the verified flag left off. GitHub checks that flag and blocks the fake. eBay didn't, until researchers told them.

  Pixel Vigilante (@PixelVigilante) reported 20 minutes ago

  @PlayStation This is for all the idiots in the comments who are completely clueless about how physical media actually works and keep screaming "it's just a game key card."Let me explain reality to you, because your lack of basic knowledge is embarrassing: The First-Party Reality: For Nintendo’s first-party games (like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, etc.), the ENTIRE game is completely on that physical cartridge. There is no "key card" download. You put the plastic into the console, and it plays right off the card without needing the internet. It is 100% true physical media. The Third-Party Exception: The ONLY time a Switch game acts like a "key" with a massive download is when cheap third-party publishers (like EA, 2K, or Activision) refuse to buy the larger, more expensive cartridge sizes. That is a third-party issue, NOT a Nintendo issue. Hardware-Locked Licensing: Even on those rare third-party games with downloads, you STILL need to physically insert that cartridge into the Switch to boot the game. The license is locked to the plastic, not your account. What This Actually Means: Because the license is in my physical hands, I actually OWN it. I can resell it on eBay, lend it to a friend, or buy it used. You cannot do a single one of those things with a digital console. Why Sony Users Are Pissed: Sony is forcing people into a digital-only ecosystem where they have a complete monopoly. They control all pricing, can delist games whenever they want, and if your account gets banned, your library is wiped. Nintendo keeping cartridges protects consumers from that exact trap. Stop arguing semantics about "cartridge vs. disc" when you don't even know the difference between a first-party Nintendo game and a cheap third-party port. If I can hold it, sell it, and trade it, it's physical media. Period.

  @leodev I bought my own server yesterday and it's great. If you have the money, maybe invest it! Just get old hardware (like a mini PC off ebay) and run Proxmox on it.

  Man said something important here. "Sold comps." The biggest reason people think eBay is slow or doesn't work is because they price where they see active listings priced. Too many factors to blindly list against another sellers price. Takes 2 secs to check the sales, dates, and prices. All 3 are important. That's the ONLY way to source and list on eBay. Search page listings tells you nothing. Do this and you'll realize OA on eBay is not only easy but a no brainer addition to your reselling biz.

  Why Rowpass: on eBay, Item Specifics affect discovery and purchase decisions. Researching and normalizing them across large catalogs is a data-operations problem—not just a prompting problem. Rowpass is being built to deliver scoped, validated catalog enrichment.

  MG Barbatos straight build with minor painting done. Once the water slide decals come in I will apply them, apply a flat top coat, and work on trying my hand at heavy weathering. You might be asking how I solved the issues with the feet and shoulders? I didn’t. I bought metal parts on eBay to replace the parts that introduce structural weaknesses in the kit. It seemed easier than trying to figure out how to fix something that can’t be fixed. Still working on trying to recreate one of the poses on the side of the box.

  RAMaggedon is real! The current console gaming industry is scary — it’s on the edge of real trouble. AI companies and data centers are vacuuming up so much RAM and high-bandwidth memory that Xbox and PlayStation are getting crushed on costs, prices, and sales. Key facts right now (mid-2026): - AI data centers are projected to consume roughly 70% of the world’s memory chip production this year (IDC / Wall Street Journal reports). The three big memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) have shifted capacity heavily toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI accelerators because those customers pay far more. - Console memory and storage costs have already jumped more than 2.5×. Microsoft expects them to roughly double again by fall 2027. - Xbox price hikes: Microsoft just announced another round (effective August) — $100–$150 increases. Series S 512GB goes to $499, 1TB to $599; Series X 1TB models hit $750–$800. This is the third major hike in a little over a year. Consoles are now 30–40% more expensive than a year ago. - PlayStation price hikes: Sony already raised PS5 prices by as much as $150 earlier in 2026 (standard models around $650, Pro near $900). - Sales collapse: In May 2026 (U.S. Circana data), PS5 unit sales dropped 58% year-over-year — lowest May total in 25 years. Xbox Series hardware recorded its worst May on record. Average price paid for a new console hit $502 (up 14% from last year). - Next-gen hardware is in limbo: Reports indicate Sony is considering delaying the PS6 successor as far as 2028 or even 2029 because of the memory costs. Analysts warn the next Xbox/PS could launch at $900–$1,200 if the crunch continues. Overall console shipments are forecast to fall ~19.5% in 2026. The old console model — subsidized hardware while making money on games/services — is breaking because the same silicon that used to get cheaper over a generation is now being bid up by AI hyperscalers who can pay almost any price. Microsoft is on both sides of this, with their huge AI data-center spender and being the Xbox maker, which only makes the conflict more obvious… and I can tell you Xbox is losing in this internal battle, big time! Gamers are already feeling it in higher prices, lower sales volume, longer current-gen life cycles, and uncertainty about when (or at what price) the next boxes arrive. Console games are expected to hit $100 and that’s not even a physical game either. RAMaggedon is real, and consoles are one of the biggest casualties so far. The thumbnail of this post was made with AI. It took less than a minute and looked better than most manual edits. Some people will call it “AI slop.” Those are the same people with their heads buried in the sand while the rest of the world adapts. Call them what they are: digital Luddites — proudly getting left behind. But this is the real problem (not the Luddites). AI is pretty amazing to use. It’s a massive time-saver and can achieve results that only a handful of big movie / gaming studios could previously afford. Now every home computer owner has the power to create — because of AI. I’ve seen comments on X saying the AI bubble will burst just like the video game crash of the 1980s or the .com bubble of the early 2000s. Realistically, that’s not going to happen this time. We have to accept that. So where does this leave console gaming? It’s not dead yet, but it will be very soon. Which is really sad. There has been a massive shift to GeForce NOW — NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service — which now has over 30 million users streaming PC games from NVIDIA’s servers. Is this the direction gaming is heading? I must admit, even though I’ve owned PlayStations (the PS2 is still the best PlayStation in my opinion) and Xboxes, the Xbox Series One S was the peak for me because it has a Blu-ray player. Our household (still uses 3 of them) likes playing physical games and movies, and that lets the whole family do exactly that. Personally though, I’ve already made the move 100% back to my Commodore 64 and Amiga. The combined game library is probably 30,000+ titles. The gameplay is often superior to many new games, and the fun level? Yeah, that’s usually higher too. Time Extension (February 2025): “14 Percent Of North Americans Still Play Gaming Systems Released Before 2000.” That works out to roughly 26–35 million people, depending on the exact population figure used. Let's take a step further, that’s an estimated 80–120 million people worldwide who have moved to retro gaming. That number will surely double as the console RAMaggedon escalates. For Commodore fans we have options: original hardware on eBay (or in your attic), TheC64 from Retro Games Ltd, the Commodore 64 Ultimate from the newly formed Commodore Corporation (and it’s pretty amazing), and the upcoming TheA1200 from RGL later this year. The cost is lower and there are games still being made for Commodore 64 and Amiga 40 years later. It is a vibrant and exciting time to be a retrogamer and the appeal will continue to grow. Have you made the move yet?
