  @disneytipsguy I resisted the urge to buy a gorgeous coffee mug and the USA 250 buzz Lightyear in may. I ended up tracking down the water bottle on eBay and am still kicking myself for not buying Buzz. So lesson learned. Buy the souvenirs

  Multi-channel sellers lose sales to stockouts because manual inventory tracking across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and Walmart breaks down. Built Restockly to fix that. It watches your stock levels everywhere and fires purchase orders to suppliers automatically when inventory drops

  @sspjoel1 Hey there, yes I’ve sold on eBay but lately I’m just too busy so I have taken my stuff down. I’d recommend buy it now and do something between 2-3% prompted in my experience. Heard that from someone else and I feel it helps.

  A 29 YEAR OLD IN PUNE BOUGHT A DECOMMISSIONED TELECOM SERVER RACK FOR $2,700 AT AUCTION AND NOW CLEARS $19,400 A MONTH RUNNING AI FOR US SAAS COMPANIES THAT NEVER ASK WHERE IT LIVES aditya is 29, pune, a one bedroom flat with a ceiling fan and a single wall AC doing all the cooling. won the lot off a telecom network refresh in february. a cisco managed switch, a tp-link uplink, a green 1U server, and 72TB of enterprise drives in yellow caddies at the bottom. added two RTX 3090s off ebay under the desk. runs llama 3.3 70B and fine tunes it for 9 US saas clients on hugging face. no claude bill. no openai invoice. nothing leaves the room. pause at 0:44 on his finger resting on the yellow drive caddies. that shelf sold new for $140,000. he paid less than one month of the subscriptions it replaced. $19,400 in. $54 in maharashtra power. the auction lot paid for itself in 5 days. the cloud that used to rent him a login now rents his compute back. the same $200 you wire to a data center every month, he stopped wiring and started collecting. the window is open. the racks are still cheap and the US clients are still looking. follow and bookmark before it closes.

  Multi-channel sellers can't watch every competitor on every platform around the clock. Built VigilIQ to fix that. AI agents track prices and inventory 24/7 across Amazon, eBay, Walmart—automatically adjusting your prices and alerting you to restock before you miss a sale.

  @FirstLightTCG Are you trying repeatedly to open it within a very short amount of time? I have this happen to me all the time if I try and open too many eBay tabs editing listings or relist. It pisses off the server and gives me this message. Just have to wait like 10 minutes and try again.

  re-watching what I watched last night... people feeling "robbed" by gamepass... I understand. that you buy a 12 month gamepass window. based on what is in the 12 months, and you're buying it to also play something that comes out during the last 4 months of your subscription.. or worse, you stack years... based on a list of titles that get cancelled or delayed. I understand that. I just consider it like bankruptcy. "there is no money"... "there is no game"... if gamepass is game-rupt. I dunno if you deserve a refund or not. they told you they wanted 30? 80 whatever million... and you thought it was gonna happen and reach sustainability. I'm not licking boots or siding with the company... what do you want from gamepass? (besides your money back)... you want microsoft to kickstarter every game from now on? what is your solution?? and I hear my fave youtubers, alot have said "thats not my problem, where are the games" "you said there would be games, where are the games" and the devs/publishers who bought the dev kits and invested how much more into xbox port/build, are saying, where are our sales!? you're telling xbox, "I give you my money" and complains.. and the publishers are saying "you aren't giving US your money, why should I get you games" so you basically said you aren't gonna pay the publishers, and the publishers can't pay the game devs/studios.... because you gave your money to xbox gamepass and "gamepass will take care of you" and now when it isn't.... you're mad at gamepass? you're mad at the studios/devs for saying,... "the gamers dont wanna buy games, we cant **** them out of $70, so lets **** xbox out of 6 years of salaries" you subbed to gamepass and tried to **** the studios...(I'm using alot of their language, the notion of "getting ******")... so they said okay... who can we ****... lets **** xbox... gamers say **** you devs, devs sayfuck you microsoft... well in this circle, this triangle who is left to get ******.. you the gamer? microsoft says **** you gamers... and you want your money back? for a 6 year used service? for a 6 year old console? that is the other thing.. why does xbox owe you money? why is xbox in charge of the refund? get it back from ebay, gamestop, target... why isn't the retailers the bad guy for selling you the "piece of ****" xbox??? how come people aren't mad at them for carrying garbage? well of course that was 2020 and years of thinking they'll get better right? thats where your money went.. you went down with the xbox ship... no refund. you shoulda got a refund in 2020. sell it used in 2021. etc. and on to playstation and discs... I'm sorry we feel insignificant. that I can't program an off the shelf xbox... that it has to be jail broken, that its a "closed system", versus an apple 2 or commodore 64 or whatever.. (not debating how open or closed those were, just metaphors) we all buy these devices and things we can't do **** with. whether its the electronics, or the metal fab, or making brackets or mounts to put a diff whatever unit in... I'm sorry there is no big aftermarket repurposing to hot rod your xbox... we talking jailbreaking, homebrew? how come nobody is saying "don't sell the xbox/ps5/sw2, just jailbreak it, and use it how you want" I'm just saying...oh cause homebrew "sucks"... we trust sony/xbox/nintendo more than the scene, and tools and lack of support... etc. right? I dont wanna navigate forums and some process to jailbreak a ps5. I just wanna pay my $70 and put the disc in. (put the disc in sony!) is this just buyers remorse... I dunno why it bugs me to hear this guy want a refund or claim microsoft stole gamers money...

  @sudoingX I think it's more helpful to buy, gut out what you don't want, and continue building it. Before the whole AI hardware drama; around 2021, I bought a Supermicro 4U server from surplus on eBay. I got 128 GB DD4 that way for about 1000 USD, but it also included a Dual Xeon board, nice redundant PSUs, and a useful RAID card. Not a perfect machine for AI, but the sum of the parts ended up being a smart purchase.

  HE IGNORED THE #1 PIECE OF HOMELAB ADVICE — "BUY A CHEAP USED SERVER OFF EBAY" — AND BUILT A RACK THE SIZE OF A TOASTER INSTEAD Everyone tells beginners the same thing: grab an old Dell PowerEdge for $80, it's enterprise-grade, it's a bargain. What they don't tell you: it screams like a jet engine, pulls 100W+ sitting idle, and heats the room it lives in. That "cheap" server costs you $150+ a year in electricity alone — every year, forever. So he went the opposite way. One 10-inch mini rack on a desk. Mini PCs that sip ~10W each instead of rack servers. A network switch. A small touchscreen on top running his dashboard — the whole lab visible at a glance. Quiet enough to sit next to. Small enough to carry under one arm. Uses less power than a light bulb. Pause at 1:35 — the eBay listings of used PowerEdge servers he almost bought. Then look at what's actually sitting on his desk at the end. That contrast is the whole video. Most homelab guys measure their setup in rack units and decibels. He measured his in "would I actually want this thing in my room." Skip the eBay trap. Buy small. Stack quiet. Full build in the video.

  Tuomas Holmberg breaks down how @CollectorCrypt is changing the game by compressing settlement times and cutting out the middleman. ​"If you want to rotate from modern to vintage cards without getting wrecked, you're paying 13% in fees out the gate. Then the auction takes 7 days, and eBay holds your money for weeks. How are you supposed to buy the next thing?" ​"But with Collector Crypt and what we're building, you can go in and sell a card for $10,000. Once that settles, you have that money within a few seconds, and then you could go and buy something else." ​"If you're in our Discord, we have a trustless swap, it's free. You find a buyer, we don't take anything on that. That's all up to you in the negotiation. You don't have a middleman there taking 2% of every trade." "We want people to go into our Discord, find deals, and negotiate without having to pay. If you list it on our marketplace, we only take 2%. Even if you do that, it's very cheap."

  Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) reported 26 minutes ago

  @DarkDragoonLord @TenThySelf Yeah, this is quite literally not the same thing. They didn't go after the mom and pop shops, eb games, gamestop, etc. They never went after Ebay which did exist back then. They never tried to stop used games. The lawsuit itself, ended up being solely about Blockbuster reprinting their manuals. They wanted to sue them over game rentals, but found out via discovery they are entirely legal. So, technically, they only ever went after Blockbuster legally for manuals, which they were right about and did win the case. Nintendo never actually tried to stop used game sales. It had nothing to do with that. They had an issue with game rentals, but found out it's legal and did nothing. So, they didn't even try to stop game rentals. They wanted to, found out they couldn't, and never did anything since. Instead going after the only thing they had a right to and that was their manuals being photocopied.

  🚨 The Air Bag That Became a Grenade: A Deadly China-Linked Pipeline Inside American Cars! A device built to save lives is exploding into shrapnel inside used cars across America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says replacement air-bag inflators marked “DTN60DB” have been linked to 10 deaths and three severe injuries in 13 crashes. Instead of cushioning drivers, the inflators ruptured and fired metal fragments into their faces, necks and chests. The crashes should have been survivable. One victim, Eui Seok Kang, lost half his lower jaw after a replacement air bag bought on eBay detonated during a 2023 Texas crash. A 22-year-old Florida mother, Destiny Byassee, was killed after another replacement unit exploded in her Chevrolet Malibu. The danger is not confined to one careless repair shop. It runs through a murky aftermarket of salvaged vehicles, online sellers, counterfeit automaker labels and parts likely imported illegally from China. Investigators found that some aftermarket inflators had entered the country concealed inside toys and dollhouses. Once installed, the parts become nearly invisible. They are not linked to a vehicle identification number, so a standard recall search may reveal nothing. In April, NHTSA banned the sale and import of inflators bearing the DTN60DB identifier, the agency’s first vehicle-equipment ban in more than two decades. The Chinese manufacturer associated with the marking says it does not sell in the United States and argues that the parts may be counterfeits. That defense does not make American drivers safer. It exposes the deeper problem: an opaque supply chain where responsibility disappears while lethal products keep moving. This is what counterfeit commerce looks like when the fake is not a handbag, but an explosive charge inches from a driver’s face. Owners of used, rebuilt or previously crashed vehicles should obtain a history report and have any replacement air bag inspected by a qualified technician. Do not open the steering wheel yourself.

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @SHINTAB_44 And he pre-ordered it... Even though the writing was on the wall for a third broken release in a row. *I* noped out and decided to wait at least a full year for DICE to fix the game before I considered getting it second-hand on eBay (and apparently the game is still broken?).

  Built an AI that scans live eBay listings, grades Pokémon cards on centering, corners, edges, and surface, then tells you if the seller priced it wrong. Information asymmetry is a solvable problem.

  @heydomoshi This resolves a # of issues eBay has had difficulty solving. 1 is Seller or Buyer scams. Local stores provide verification of the item for the buyer and seller. This reduces reversals of transactions and keeps the transaction revenue. 2 Some buyers just walk away w/out buying.
