  Pit Schultz (@pitsch) reported 6 minutes ago

  @XCSme @mandla_putu @Pirat_Nation >Geekbench 6: i9-14900K (~3,000–3,100 single / ~19,500–20,500 multi) edges the Ultra 7 270K Plus in single-core while trading blows in multi; the older Ryzen 9 5900X lags notably behind both (~2,500 single / ~13,000–14,000 multi). A typical refurbished dual Xeon Gold (e.g., 2x 6148, 40 cores total) scores lower single-core (~2,000–2,300) but can reach 25,000–35,000+ multi depending on clocks and config. PassMark CPU Mark: i9-14900K leads with ~58,000–59,000, ahead of the Ultra 7 270K Plus (~50,000–55,000 range) and well above the Ryzen 9 5900X (~40,000–42,000). Dual Xeon setups often exceed 70,000–100,000+, excelling in heavily parallel server workloads. Cinebench R23: i9-14900K delivers ~2,100–2,200 single / ~38,000–41,000 multi, outperforming the Ultra 7 270K Plus and significantly beating the Ryzen 9 5900X (~1,600 single / ~22,000–25,000 multi). Dual Xeon configurations shine here with 50,000–80,000+ multi-core potential, making them the strongest for extreme raw multi-threaded tasks despite weaker single-core performance. Popular refurbished dual Xeon workstation models (LGA 3647/Cascade Lake or similar) include Dell Precision T7910/T7920/T7820, Lenovo ThinkStation P910/P920, and HP Z8 G4 equivalents — these often come with dual Xeon Gold/Platinum CPUs, high DDR4 ECC capacity, and workstation-grade build quality. Typical costs for refurbished full systems: $600–$1,500+ (depending on CPU generation, RAM, GPU, and storage); barebones or lightly configured units can start under $500 on eBay/ServerMonkey/PCSP/Dell Outlet. Motherboard + dual CPU combo pricing (refurbished): LGA 3647 dual-socket boards (Supermicro X11, ASUS, Gigabyte C621) run $150–$350; a solid dual Xeon Gold pair (e.g., 2x 20-core models) adds $100–$400, for a total combo often under $600–$800 — excellent value for massive multi-core performance.<

  @TheForza_ @switchstock Not that simple. Not only would It would be nearly impossible to enforce and cost a lot to monitor everyone, but shops could just sell under a different name on eBay or tcgplayer. They also aren't the distributors. I would say the distributors are a large part of the issue

  @StarwindZone @DHLGlobal @eBay I’ve had the same issue recently too with evri and Vinted and it’s been such a pain to deal with. Ordered an Alice in wonderland vhs over a week ago and it’s been missing from the delivery address. Had multiple convos with the seller and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it.

  @sunnyhilltrader @CardPurchaser I just recently had my first issue with a card. I shipped it. You could see that. Then it just sat in PA. The buyer reached out, I contacted eBay, and I basically gave them verbatim of what eBay told me. They got the refund, I was protected because it was shipped. They still gave positive feedback when the card did need up coming. The convo between the buyer was simple and easy not arguement or anything.

  @Doctor_HooLock @Jsmith_13_ @theTSupdates I have an account on Ebay and it's not in my searches. I'm in the US so I believe my searches are limited, so it could be an overseas seller. I generally don't see listings from the UK, Italy, etc. It's possible someone in a foreign country is selling it or it was taken down.

  Scalpers are a huge problem too — it takes roughly 1,300 packs to pull a chase SIR just to resell it for $1,000+ on eBay. Raising the pull rates isn’t the solution either. Just ask everyone for their personal data, I’m sure you’ll make good use of it 🌈

  @WaxMetrix @eBay Same thing happened to me on a sealed Panini Honors card. They opened the factory seal and put the card in a sleeve and card saver. The card arrived sticking out but fortunately no damage. After complaining to eBay they refunded me $50 for the issue.

  Competitors reprice 24/7. Most sellers can't keep up. Built CompeteIQ to fix that — an AI agent that monitors prices across Amazon, Walmart, eBay in real time and automatically adjusts your listings to stay competitive. Intelligent repricing, not just mechanical matches.

  @MichaelCade1 It is rough out there. We are having a crunch on DDR5-6400 RDIMMs in the lab. 18 months ago, we would have just bought 24-48 of them on ebay to fix the crunch. At $2K/ea that is not really practical to get 1-2 more systems testing in parallel.

  @Knuggertz @ryancohen I’ll bite: - Accretive dilution and the reason Ebay could be acquired - 5% of cash was deployed. In the event the merger goes through or net income rises and BTC price goes lower, he can average down - Furlong did this - There’s no need to, the results spoke for themselves.

  @LememeJames I would say its not your f'n problem. If they wanted it faster they should have let you know and paid for Priority shipping. I'd tell them to **** off and deal with it. Then I'd report them to ebay for abusing the return system and falsely claiming it was not as described.

  moerscards (@moerscards) reported 48 minutes ago

  @WaxMetrix @eBay As long as you haven't broken the void seal - contact ebay and tell them that you want a refund bc the card was damaged by their authentication team. The first thing they are going to do is go to the seller and ask if they will accept a refund for the item. If the seller declines, which they should, ebay will come back to you and offer you a discounted price. You can negotiate this. If you don't want the card they will have to eat it, if you do you should be able to get a significant amount off. Do not take the fall for their lack of accountability. To have a team of people who can authenticate an item and be experts in what they do but not know how to ship something properly in 2026 is ridiculous. Don't let them off the hook. Don't ever surrender (Churchill voice).

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.

  In the last week, I’ve had four movies removed by eBay due to alleged policy violations. While I agree with most of eBay’s listing policies, they are being applied in an inconsistent and puritanical manner. For every listing removed, there are “worse” examples being sold. Has anyone at @eBay tried to stomach The Passion of the Christ? 🤢 Is there a movie that promotes violence more than ***** Harry? Is there a more disturbing documentary than reality? Since the issue is causing me grief and lost income, I’ve decided to turn it into a game. eBay removed A Serbian Film, The Original Faces of Death, The Cohasset ***** Film, and Men Behind the Sun. eBay has allowed Salo: 120 Days of *****, Orozco, Cannibal Ferox, and Cannibal Holocaust. Which of these upcoming listings will get chopped?

  @PeterB585337060 @Rainmaker1973 Yeah - but we got people interested in "Retro Tech" nowadays. Frankly a good % of flat screens can be repaired if no visible damage (cat knocked it over, broken screen) pretty cheaply and FAR less dangerously...still ONLY a pro should. But everyone just buys new. CRT's are more likely to knock you across the room and/or burn off a tiny hunk of flesh than kill you. But some people have weak hearts and it's at the edge of the voltage/types that can cause a heart attack. I don't want authorities going around trying to destroy them if some person does a stupid... CRT's are getting a market back but most/all the places to make new ones have been shut down. Usually, they CAN be repaired a few times to working before dying. Not going to list the signs/solutions here I'd type a book. Again better to try to recycle them to a pro or if into Retro stuff oneself pay to have a legit tech look at it. The last models were giant ones, 32 inch and higher, total dream for kids who had N64s and Dreamcasts to play with. Worth a few $ for a diagnostic then repair if feasible. AND if they find a pile in an estate sale or something, check they are working, might make decent $ on Ebay and make some people happy. Myself I like playing ATARI on a GIANT Flatscreen TV. My Aunt had a projection screen and warned me and other relatives NOT to put the Atari into it - said it'd wreck it and we'd have to mow her lawn and do YEARS of chores to make up for it... And we respected her so we never tried it. Now a flatscreen BIGGER than her $8K setup (NOT adjusted for inflation) is not $400 in my rural big box stores during Black Friday/Christmas... And yes I play ANCIENT games on it! And newer ones. There's some suck like I did play with lightgun games but... But otherwise I do NOT idolize the past though I have fond memories of it. ----Again TL/DR... 1 - let a PRO with experience and the burns/scars to prove it risk his A$$ on it and be PAID for it. 2 - You can FIX most CRTs a few times 3 - I hope there's a retro market like how people purchase NEW LPs (plastic sound music discs) and get NEW music made in LP, Cassette, Mini-Disc format for the niche... Not a "Full return" but a solid mini niche.
