  @PalmyrPar To their credit, it appears that they're targeting scalpers and getting their ebay listings taken down (and hopefully blacklisting them).

  @TheLongInvest The cash is not the problem. Wha Burry is saying is he doesn’t believe in Ryan’s ability to turn eBay around

• 
  CHItrader (@CHItrader) reported 4 minutes ago

  $GME quick update on Burry WSJ just reported he fully liquidated his entire GameStop position today, right after Ryan Cohen’s $56B eBay offer dropped. For context: Burry had been loading up since Jan, doubled down in April, and was openly calling Cohen a “young Buffett” with a killer cash-rich acquisition playbook. Then the deal news hits and he’s out. Sound familiar? (He did the same pre-2021 squeeze too 👀) Timing king or just selling the news?

  $GME $EBAY Just some random thoughts on if this deal actually goes through (and I'm hoping it does). I have zero doubt that @ryancohen will go in there and clean house, just as he did with GameStop. I mean what is the true cost of running eBay? Server space, bandwidth and likely some fall back on if items get damaged or stolen? Beyond that most everything can be automated, I would say keep a crew of customer support because that's the one thing that AI will no doubt fail at. Ebay is recession proof. Oh the market is taking crap and inflation is going through the roof? Cool, I guess I'll sell some of my stuff to make ends meet, oh guess what, ebay/gamestop will be taking 10% of that transaction. Flip side, market pumps, inflation comes down and people are buying **** they don't need? Cool, we'll take 10% of every transaction there too. Nearly instant turnaround on traded in used items. Oh, you want a PS5 for GTA6? Trade us in your PS4 for 1/2 of what it's going for and we sell it at market value on eBay. Collectables? Wow you bought that for $50 off ebay (which we took $5 off the top from that) and now you're able to resell it for $500??? Cool, we'll get $50 from that transaction. Marketing? I don't know if you've noticed but there's an army of GameStop investors that will do that for you on social media. Whatever kind of sales figures Cohen is thinking he will see if he gets ebay, I can almost promise you it will be more.

  @alanknit @StockSavvyShay Apple needed Jobs back and the other company he created (NEXT) was the underpinning of a new operating system (if memory is correct). So he had something to offer and they jettisoned the beverage company exec. Now I can’t say anything about qualities of the eBay ceo as I don’t know who they are. But RC did a terrible job of making the case he is the savior!

  @ImpactTrends @MartinShkreli @endingepidemic If Big Time CEO Mastermind Ryan Cohen needs someone from Twitter X to tell him how to articulate his strategy better to Ebay & the Public this dude is in trouble & over his pay grade.

  @unusual_whales I have like $1,000 worth of GameStop Pro points that I have literally never been able to redeem because its backend is so broken. I can't imagine eBay improving after this acquisition...

  Adam Simecka (@AdamSimecka) reported 8 minutes ago

  There have been a lot of rumors, so I'll just address them here. I have offered $56B to acquire eBay in a half-cash, half-stock offer, and have the ability to issue stock in order to get the deal done. The full details are on my website.

  VikMittal (@vik_mittal) reported 9 minutes ago

  @exec_sum Sorkin seems to not understand basic finance either, what’s relevance of GME having a $11Bn market cap? He didn’t explain. Question should have been, do you plan to issue $28Bn in new stock to EBAY SH and use $9bn cash + $20bn of debt to acquire EBAY. Will your shareholders support that level of dilution

• 
  Delmerik (@GitGudDel) reported 9 minutes ago

  @gabefollower What's our proof that there was a huge scalpers problem? 12 listings on ebay? Estimated to had only received 75k units tops. That's not a lot. Paired with people like myself getting 3.

• 
  Grok (@grok) reported 15 minutes ago

  @VibeWithTea @WOLF_Financial In theory: The $56B deal is 50/50 cash/stock (~$28B each). Cash side uses GME's ~$9B balance sheet cash + the $20B TD "highly confident" debt letter + potential additional raises. Stock side is new GME shares issued to eBay holders at the offer value. The ~$16B gap gets covered by issuing even more shares (diluting existing holders), as Cohen noted they have "the ability to issue stock to get the deal done." Details are on GME's site per him.

• 
  Grok (@grok) reported 17 minutes ago

  @nayrchris @business @opinion GameStop (GME, ~$11B market cap) just made an unsolicited $56B offer for eBay (~$46B market cap) at $125/share: 50% cash, 50% GME stock. They have ~$9.4B cash on hand (need more via debt), and will likely need to issue a ton of new shares (they don't have enough authorized yet). Ryan Cohen's play: pair GME's 1,600 US stores for eBay's physical pickup/auth/fulfillment to build a bigger e-commerce hybrid. eBay acknowledged the bid but no prior talks. It's aggressive transformation, not hidden conspiracy—just high-risk execution on meme-era cash pile.

  I never would have touched $GME. that changed this week. Ryan Fox Business interview just flipped the script. If the eBay deal actually goes through, I’d have no problem starting a GameStop position.

  *static crosses screen* @gamestop proposing a $55.5 billion eBay acquisition while holding $368 million in $BTC is the corporate equivalent of buying a yacht with bus fare as the down payment. The ratio is approximately 150 to 1.

  @Deck_Ready I had the controller in my cart within seconds of it going live and couldn't complete the order. Now scalpers have dozens upon dozens of them for sale on eBay at 200-300% markup. I had no issue buying my Steam Deck at launch... This controller launch was incredibly frustrating.

  There is a 17% chance GameStop, $GME, acquires eBay $EBAY, per Polymarket:. Prediction markets are mostly about timing, pricing error, and crowd positioning.

  Maybe @gamestop needs to buy @YouTube instead of @eBay, so maybe you can fix all the channel demonetizations happening and killing the platform for people.

  Insane seeing the number of people who don't understand this $GME transaction. Honestly makes financial sense from all sides - if eBay is down to sell, this could go well. Props @ryancohen.

  BullRock (@lwaysITM) reported 40 minutes ago

  @Mr_Derivatives EBay bought back $35B of its shares over the past decade. RC can pay down the TD loan, and reverse a lot of dilution used for this acquisition, over the next decade with the company as-is... and then some more with cash from new synergies and fat trim Why not?

  GameStop's bid for @eBay summarised The deal • @gamestop is offering $125 per share for eBay, which is a big 46% premium over eBay's recent stock price • Half the payment would be in cash and half in GameStop shares • This values eBay at about $55.5 billion • Not a done deal yet, but GameStop already owns about 5% of eBay through stocks and derivatives. They're filing official notices tomorrow How GameStop Plans to Pay For It • They already have ~$9.4 billion in cash and investments • A major bank (TD Securities) gave them a "highly confident" letter for $20 billion more. The rest comes from issuing new GameStop shares The Big Money-Saving Plan • GameStop believes they can cut $2 billion in costs per year pretty quickly by trimming eBay's spending on marketing, product development, and admin. For context, eBay spent $2.4 billion on marketing last year but only added 1 million new buyers • If successful, this would boost earnings significantly in the first year The strategic story • Turn their 1,600 physical stores into hubs for authenticating items, taking in products, shipping, and even live selling/streaming • Double down on trading cards (Pokemon, One Piece, Sports), collectibles, and refurbished tech - categories where GameStop already has expertise • @ryancohen (CEO) would become CEO of the combined company What This Means for Collectibles and TCGs GameStop's stores could become convenient places for people to bring in cards, sneakers, comics, or memorabilia for authentication and selling on eBay - making it easier and safer for average collectors to buy and sell The focus on live commerce and physical fulfillment may also boost visibility hobby (that is ever growing), potentially driving higher prices and more volume in trading cards TLDR: position collectibles as mainstream, accessible retail assets instead of just online-only, which could attract new buyers and increase liquidity across the entire space.

  @saltydocEM Gme was going to squeeze for the 19th time. Offer on ebay for 56 billion (468 million shares dilution) Burry backed the idea this morning. 13f revealed he sold all of his Gme later in the day (filings are delayed) US won the war on Iran for the 19th time. Best military blockade in history. Successfully navigated out numerous ships (that were stuck due to an issue we caused anyway) 30 yr broke 5% Ukoil at 114+ nearing breakout Buffett is an idiot and is sitting on record cash for no reason (per many on FinX). That sums up most of it.

  GAMESTOP'S $55.5B EBAY TAKEOVER BID PUTS ITS BITCOIN STASH IN PLAY Bullish or bearish for Bitcoin? Could be either. @gamestop submitted a non-binding $55.5 billion offer for @eBay on Sunday, $125 a share in cash and stock. The cash leg draws on $9.4 billion of cash and liquid investments plus up to $20 billion in TD Securities financing, with CEO Ryan Cohen telling CNBC he can also issue stock to close the deal. That puts GameStop's 4,709 bitcoin:native, worth around $368 million, into question. Cohen said in February the expansion plan was "way more compelling than bitcoin" and left the door open to selling the stash. Flip side. A GameStop-owned eBay would hand a Bitcoin-holding retailer 135 million active buyers across 190 countries and roughly $80 billion in 2025 GMV. Cohen has the toolkit to bolt on bitcoin:native checkout, Lightning settlement for cross-border sellers. The bid is non-binding, eBay's board has not endorsed it, and Wall Street is skeptical. If it dies, GameStop stays a BTC-holding retailer running covered calls. If it advances, the stash either funds the deal or anchors the biggest real-world Bitcoin commerce test to date.

  @MartinShkreli His answer was effectively, we can just issue more stock. Whether this is from the 11B GME or the ~60B combined company, doesn't address that you can't reasonably see how they'd get 1/2 the delta of 37B (48 EBay MC - 11 GME MC) from stock issuance.

  @lakes12341 @1337hero @SMB_Attorney Been using eBay for 20 years. Never been scammed. Only ‘window lickers’ like yourself don’t do any due diligence when buying and selling. eBay doesn’t need to sell to to fix this problem you’re talking about. Just need to have better verification tools and stricter seller reqs.

  @PhantomBlack699 @AjAqrabawi Devils advocate. Gme has the right to issue up to 1b shares. I believe eBay has the right to issue up to 3B. Maybe that’s the equity being rolled. Into the combined company. Then split 60/40 btwn gme and eBay holders.

  @dmiko789 It's hilarious they have like 20b cash loan and 9b cash so 29b and need half of 56 was it? Saw yesterday... so half cash is 28b and the shares issues replace the ebay shares so it like ebay going 50% equity / debt ... pretty torqued up per share not diluted lol.

  "There's 11,500 employees. It doesn't make sense. I could run that business from my house. It's eBay, it looks the same as it did in 1995. It doesn't need 11,500 employees." $GME's @ryancohen makes his case for why he's the best person to buy eBay: "You look at eBay spending $2.5 billion to grow 1 million users. $2 billion in cost cuts between sales and marketing and corporate overhead — it's not a lot. And it's not something that's going to take a few years. It's something that is going to happen fast, fast, fast. Because I'm putting leverage on this thing, and I don't want to run a leveraged business." "I'm not going to run it hot. I'm going to pay down the leverage. And I'm going to increase earnings." "They're spending $5.5 billion on operating expenses. On an $11 billion business that has no inventory and is asset light." Ryan's full response:

  @JesseTinsley Does RC have any leverage with shareholders taking the 5% options position? Can he put pressure on shareholders to put it to a vote and bypass the board? I think the NYSE attempted to purchase eBay, and shareholders shot it down.

  Difficult Froyo (@meepstone0) reported 59 minutes ago

  @RSmithInc @sshxbt Gamestop will never be able to buy Ebay with this offer. It's impossible. The only way it works is fantasy land. 50/50 stock to cash split offer. Gamestop needs $27 billion in share value for the offer. Gamestop is worth $10.6 billion. Issuing that many shares would not make the market cap go up, it would just be creating cash as their share price plummets accordingly. They will never be able to buy Ebay with $27 billion in shares since a value of a company doesn't go up when you issue shares. The only path they could do is issuing a crap ton of shares to create the money to then convert the 50% stock part of the offer to all cash offer instead. But Gamestops share price would probably drop 90% or something crazy.
