  @SakurasCardShop Definitely agreed and its a shame. I had a little chuckle when I saw that thing going around that TPCI had eBay take down the 30th anniversary listings on the website. People say 'See, they do care!!' all while Whatnot streamers have been ripping the 30th on the platform for months and with videos like this going around and nothing happens or will happen.

  @CardGameNomad Do booster box prices tank if the distributor charges almost $400 before it even gets to the LGS? Ridiculous Pokemon company allows that kind of greed. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they took down an ebay listing of an unreleased card. But seems small potatoes in comparison.

  @MerrickAnd Huh that’s weird. I got these two from two completely different eBay sellers. Perhaps it’s just a common factory error. But damn that also means I feasibly could have ended up with two of these engines with opposite-facing magnets to each other without having to switch anything!

  @MikeBoscia As long as you've got enough PCIEx16 lanes, it is an attractive option for sure; old server racks built for these are surprisingly affordable on eBay! That said, make sure your total costs don't come close or exceed that of a newer similar alternative before pulling the trigger, I doubt it would. But it's worth paying close attention to!

  Seems like an easy update fix for @eBay to automatically not allow cards that have autos to be submitted for direct grading to @PSAcard from the sale. Simply after the authentication takes place they should then send card back knowing it won't be graded for autos if thats case.

  @JohnstonCW22 @CynicalPublius My wife bought it for me in 1999. It has every issue up till then on 7 CD-ROMs (500 issues). It is titled "TOTALLY MAD" and there are several set for sale on ebay.

  I love it when people break things down on X @JayKapoorNYC I agree with Jay here, I myself wondered the economics of building and providing inference. Its not like it can't be done but here is something to consider an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GB300 NVL72 rack-scale system costs between $3 million and $6.5 million. so, its not like buying a GPU from Ebay to setup ur own Inference shop.

  @TheNavyCentral @Veezxvqk @SteeloAndKri At the very least, if Pokemon thinks they're stolen goods, they can reach out to WhatNot and tell them they have to crack down on the sale of stolen goods. Just like they did Ebay. But they have the idiot's face, they can do a LOT more than that.

  @Lammyisback The worst ten years 35-45 included losing both my parents and both my in-laws, two babies in 19mths, both via c-sections, lockdown whilst both babies were toddlers alongside perimenopause. Tried working, broke down. Now selling things on ebay for a living. 👍🏼

  To end the data center discourse once and for all, I propose a simple idea: for one day, every data center goes offline. The American public has zero clue how interwoven and dependent their lives are on the services data centers provide. No email, texts, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or many phone calls. No Google Maps, Waze, uber, or other navigation aids. No news, television, YouTube. No online health portal access, remote work, remote therapy, remote meetings, no remote anything. The stock market shuts down, as does Amazon, eBay, and all other e-commerce. Very very quickly, the public might realize how insane the value these nondescript buildings offer society. Yes it would cost the companies running these a lot of money. And yes, essential infrastructure and services should probably be maintained. But the opportunity costs facing them from a total ban on new data centers dwarfs one day of revenue. I don’t see another way out. The populace is too entrenched already, and there’s social capital and real capital available to the loudest and most violently anti data center voices around. The outrage cycle won’t break itself.

  Marketplaces are eating independent brands because senior operators cost more than the brands can afford to hire. We built a company that fixes that one problem. Clarity, control, real execution on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay — without the agency markup.

  @LostSchemes The real issue is the folks that throw together half-assed diecasts as fast as they can to load eBay up with Cleetus McFarland 1/64’s. I think folks that aren’t as egregious will be fine.

  Quick heads up: Over the weekend I had an inventory glitch that caused roughly half of my 7,000 listings to be removed on eBay and CollX. The company I use for inventory management has since completed a bulk restore, and most everything appears to be back where it should be, but I’m still finding a few oddities here and there. If you happen to come across a card in my store that shows unavailable, looks out of place, or seems like something isn’t right with the listing, please let me know. I’d appreciate the extra set of eyes while I finish getting everything cleaned up. 🔎 Find Your Next Favorite Card.

  @MichaelGannotti @NVIDIAAI I bought an M1 macbook air with 8GB ram off ebay with a broken screen. It cost like 120 bucks. It runs 24:7, I remote into it and it runs my full Hermes setup over Tailscale. I make Ios apps on it.

  So, it seems @Apple 's only options for leasing are through @Klarna , eh? Let me regale you with my experience with Klarna. This is back in April. I notice eBay is running a special w/Klarna to get ~$100 off (or something similar) on an item I was interested in. So, I go through checkout, select Klarna yada yada yada. Well, that process didn't work so I had to sign up direct through Klarna. Ok, fine. Easy enough. Name, address SSN etc done and done. Go back to pay on eBay. It fails. Doesn't work. No reason. Just says "Try again or use different card." I do. Nothing. Contact service. They capped my limit at $1k (my item was more). In the meantine, items sold. Ok fine. Try eBay again for an item less. Same problem. Call them. Same deal (try different card or options). None work. I get an email from them saying payment didn't work because they can't verify me. Can't verify me?!?! They have: -My name, phone number, email, home address, social security number...WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T VERIFY ME?!?!? They want me to take a photo of my drivers license and send it to them. Keep in mind, this is presented to me over the phone to support, it honestly felt a little sketch. So, I didn't do it. I wanted a more official way to submit those via the app. Eventually, I did. Ok. *NOW* it should work. Tried again. Nope! Called. They said, "Oh your name has to match exactly on drivers lic and maybe that's why the system can't verify me." Oooooook. Mind you, it was, but we'll try again. Of course, *I* can't change that. So, I had to call and get them to change it on their end. Ok. Everything submitted, they've got all my info, name checked I'm good, yeah? NOPE! Payment failed again. So, the next support (called again, of course!) said, "Well if the payment plans fail, I need history of purchases so I should just buy the item outright." Ok, use Klarna to just buy the item in full? Sure, why not? Well, guess what? That wasn't an option I could select. No option, no card would work (tried 4 different cards). So, I tried to escalate. Eventually, I did get an escalation ticket (2, I think) assigned. They never looked at them despite me pestering. This was already like a 2 weeks of my time and trouble to try and get A SINGLE PURCHASE TO WORK with countless calls, chat sessions, etc. Needless to say, I was over it. So, naturally, I asked to delete my account. THEY COULDN'T. You know why? Because I had *an active complaint* with Klarna lol. So, the complaint I filed that they wouldn't look at which lead me to wanting to close my account blocked me from closing my account. I eventually lost my temper and sent them an email, and they finally closed my account.

  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

  @aeugh989 @DCOfficial @Disney That’s crazy to think about Unfortunately, eBay told me there wasn’’t any wrongdoing (prolly cause he took it down), so i can’t get justice for the other art hes got on there, but it at least motivated me to get print accounts going so i can avoid this

  The problem is you don’t understand accounting. You’re just looking at revenue. I can resell **** all day on eBay but if I pay $100 for it and sell it for $105, how much did I really make?

  @minaunlovable Is it general gift card or company specific cuz eBay and Amazon sell good condition refurbished for decent prices. Also used CPUs good too but bit riskier, I never had problems w used CPUs tho.
