  @SleuthyFella Yeah, I was just using a cheap compact digital camera. I was wishing I had a DSLR then. I finally broke down and bought one on eBay which I've hardly used cause it doesn't have an LCD screen hence why it was so cheap but I knew this when I bought it. 🤪

  @CardsEnzo The issue is the non scans and scammers - sent over 1,000 ESE with maybe .1% defect rate but those buyers are the worst - leave negative feedback that takes eBay days to remove - false claims of not receiving the item - etc wish it had more reliability but you can’t beat the $$

  Good morning 🌞 I get asked a lot about Amazon to eBay flips, so I figured I’d share a few price errors I scored in the past week. First up is this Scott’s Tiller. Originally $200, I got it for $64. Since it’s a bigger item, this one’s going to be a local flip. I’ll list it at $140 and take anything over $120. At $120 that’s a $50 profit, and at $140 it’s a $70 profit (100% ROI).

  @signolease This reminds me I was looking through cds on eBay and literally someone is selling a set of mc Chris cds all signed for $200 the only problem is THE CDS ARENT INCLUDED. Only the cases. Like I fear mc is not big enough of an artist for you to be selling so high…

  Looking into the “Ghosting error” of Vending Series iii Mewtwo, where there’s a tattoo-like print error on Mewtwo’s leg. This was an earlier print error and was later fixed. The error was so obvious that it created a separate line of sale on Snkr. PSA10 generally sells for more for the error version, except that PSA doesn’t acknowledge the error on the label. Currently lowest listed price of the error version of PSA10 is $4750 on Ebay, and the corrected version is $3,330 on Snkrdunk.

  This is absolute bullshit. BlackRock just added millions more $GME shares, taking one of its largest positions ever. @RyanCohen appears to have accepted that buying @eBay outright may not be the move and a strategic partnership could accomplish plenty without torching the balance sheet. @GameStop is still sitting on an absurd mountain of cash relative to its valuation. Yet EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. $GME looks ready to break out… WHAM. Straight back down. At some point you stop calling this “normal price discovery.” $GME remains the most manipulated stock on Wall Street.

  Hi @AskeBay, I’m locked out of my eBay account because eBay is asking me to verify a phone number that has never belonged to me. I have access to my email and know my password, but the recovery flow is also returning an error. I’m currently in Brazil can't call from Brazil.

  @BreakerCulture From my experience selling on Whatnot consistently, these numbers HAVE to be a lie. It feels like a dying platform. That’s why they raised the money. eBay is burying them. Our numbers from show to show just seem to go down - especially viewers. About to jump ship to eBay Live.

  @SweetTradeCards @GhostRunnerCard That's an ebay issue. Usps doesn't scan ESE. The tracking that you do get sometimes is an estimate made up by ebay based on standard delivery time. Usps has no way of actually tracking anything that isnt ground advantage or above shipping with an actual scan barcode.

  He's 24. He built the LiDAR replacement Tesla just paid $3.8 million for on six broken iPhones he pulled off eBay for $40 apiece and a Raspberry Pi 5 he wired together in a Boulder apartment Each of the six iPhone X TrueDepth sensor modules is the same infrared dot projector Apple ships in every FaceID iPhone - the exact same hardware that maps a human face at 30 frames per second in complete darkness. He mounted them in a hexagonal array on a $8 3D-printed bracket he printed at a Boulder makerspace, wired them to the Pi through custom USB adapters he soldered himself, and wrote a Python driver that stitches all six depth streams into a single point cloud at 34 frames per second. Effective range: 40 meters. Total hardware cost: $240. A single Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR unit that Tesla previously benchmarked against costs $75,000 He posted a demo video to GitHub in October showing his rig tracking pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles across a Boulder intersection with 94% accuracy against Velodyne ground-truth data. A Tesla Autopilot engineer found it through a Hacker News thread three days later. Elon Musk quote-tweeted the demo the following Saturday - called it "the sensor architecture we should have shipped in Hardware 4 instead of paying Mobileye a decade of licensing fees." By December Tesla had wired $3.8 million into his account for the sensor fusion algorithm and a three-year consulting contract to integrate the TrueDepth array pattern into Autopilot Hardware 5 rolling out to every new Model Y this quarter Tesla runs at a $900 billion market cap running Autopilot on the premise that autonomous vehicle perception requires their proprietary silicon and their multi-billion-dollar sensor supply chain. Mobileye sits at $15 billion in market cap selling ADAS chips on the same premise. Elon Musk just paid a 24-year-old in a Boulder apartment more for a Python driver and six broken iPhones than most Tesla Autopilot engineers earn in a decade

  @Braves_Jacob @CardPurchaser In my experience lower end cards sell faster on Vinted. Higher end sell better on eBay. They payout as soon as the card is delivered. They give the buyer 48 hours to report any issues. I’ve never had any issues. If anything goes missing in the post, Vinted refund you.

  @sharkies71 proxying is not new by any means, she just helps find and secure cards for as cheap as possible. i paid roughly 375php (like £4) with fees, which is so much cheaper than i’d be able to find myself given terrible international shipping rates on apps like ebay

  @DubMentality You ship FedEx with insurance. Honestly eBay is fine. Since you don’t know people you might consider a consignment shop that can sell for you. If it’s a giant card then an auction house. Problem is it’ll take months to get money.

  @Tony_Denaro @HeroAssange I’ve thought about this. Perhaps it isn’t some grand conspiracy… RC is trying to raise money AND increase shareholder value but just keeps failing…. Powepacks, shutting down stores, warrants, eBay offer, now convertible notes. Throwing everything at the wall and nothing sticks.

  Calculated Flow | Options & Positioning (@CalculatedFlow) reported 40 minutes ago

  I went further down the TD rabbit hole, and there is a more concrete connection than I initially realized. First, a correction: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the initial purchaser for both GME convertible offerings—the 2030s and 2032s, ultimately covering the full $4.2B—not just the 2032 notes. The same TD entity later gave GameStop the highly confident letter regarding up to $20B of eBay acquisition financing. That does not prove TD still owned the notes or arranged this exchange. “Initial purchaser” means TD placed the notes with QIBs, and the exchange filing does not identify the participating holders. So I still don’t think we can establish that roadshow investors were being rewarded with equity. But TD’s financing letter contains what I now think is the strongest connection: Its confidence in raising the $20B expressly assumed that the combined company would obtain investment-grade ratings from at least two major rating agencies. Moody’s subsequently estimated that the proposed structure would leave the combined company with approximately $31.4B of debt and gross leverage close to 9× at closing. The agreed $1.4B exchange, if completed, would cut GME’s convertible principal by one-third and reduce that pro forma debt figure to roughly $30B—without using acquisition cash. On Moody’s original EBITDA assumptions, that only moves illustrative leverage from roughly 9.1× to 8.7×. So it doesn’t solve the financing problem by itself, particularly with $2.8B of converts still remaining. But it is directionally consistent with improving the credit and ratings case after eBay specifically criticized GME’s financing uncertainty and combined-company leverage. So I would refine the thesis: This does not appear to be about the converts legally blocking an eBay acquisition, nor does it prove institutions were simply “rewarded.” It looks more plausibly like one piece of a broader recapitalization—exchange debt for common equity, preserve cash, reduce gross leverage and future cash claims, and make a very large acquisition-financing package more credible. Still not proof of eBay. TD’s letter is explicitly not a commitment, and the exchanging holders may hedge or sell. But the investment-grade-rating condition gives this move a much more concrete economic rationale than Rule 144A or September 23 alone. Credit where it’s due — @dirtevader your post pushed me much further down this rabbit hole than I originally intended.

  Peter Thiel stood in front of Stanford students in 2014 and told them competition is for losers. He had already founded PayPal, co-founded Palantir, and backed Facebook. The room was full of people who had spent their entire lives winning competitions. He told them the game itself was the problem. Create X dollars of value for the world. Capture Y percent of X. Those two numbers are independent. Airlines generated $195 billion in U.S. revenue that year. Google did $50 billion. Cumulative profits of the entire U.S. airline industry over a hundred years: roughly zero. Google’s market cap already dwarfed the sector. Perfect competition looks efficient on a chalkboard. In practice it destroys capital. Monopoly looks dangerous on a chalkboard. In practice it compounds for decades. Non-monopolists lie by shrinking the market: “We’re the only British restaurant in Palo Alto.” Monopolists lie by expanding it: “We’re just one advertising company in a $500 billion global market.” The actual move is the opposite of what business school teaches. Start in a market so small it looks worthless. Own it completely. Then expand in concentric circles. PayPal began with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook began with 10,000 Harvard students. Both looked like toys until the circle grew. Most of a technology company’s value lives in cash flows ten to twenty years out. Growth is easy to measure. Durability is what the market actually prices. “All happy companies are different. All unhappy companies are alike because they failed to escape the essential sameness of competition.” The lecture is free on YouTube. The book is $15. Every framework fits on a napkin. Almost every founder on X posts the title while competing in the same crowded category as everyone else. The lecture is free. The willingness to walk past the crowded door and take the empty gate nobody is watching is a much rarer commodity than the advice itself.

  A couple furnished their entire apartment for $3,400 on eBay. Sofa. Dining table. 4 chairs. Bed frame. Nightstands. Dresser. Coffee table. Bookshelf. Desk. Desk chair. TV stand. 2 lamps. A rug. The same items at retail same brands, same condition, some still with original tags would've cost $9,800. They saved $6,400. Not by buying cheap furniture. By buying the same furniture on a different platform. Their friend a professional estate buyer who's spent 12 years sourcing, buying, and reselling furniture on eBay helped them furnish the entire apartment over 3 weekends. She said: "People furnish apartments at IKEA, Wayfair, West Elm, and Pottery Barn without ever checking eBay. They don't realize that eBay is where retail furniture goes to die at 40-70% off. People upgrade. People move. People divorce. People downsize. Estates get liquidated. Showroom floors get cleared. Warehouses get overstocked. And all of it ends up on eBay same brands, same quality, sometimes still in the original box at a fraction of what you'd pay walking into a store." She showed them 11 rules that turned eBay into the cheapest furniture store in the country. The husband said "why doesn't anyone know about this?" She said "because eBay has a reputation problem. People think it's a place for used junk and vintage collectibles. It's not. It's a marketplace with 1.7 billion live listings including brand-new, open-box, and barely-used furniture from every brand you'd buy at retail. The inventory is massive. The prices are a fraction. You just have to know how to shop it." Here's everything she showed them 🧵

  @usernamenotable @GoatBeardzDD @ryancohen Realistically though if they turned down $125 they are absolutely not taking a $80-90 offer. GameStop is more likely to come out of September closing the price gap with eBay. eBay just needs to give in. Ryan gets three board seats, and the rest of the eBay board quietly exits

  When we were teenagers, my friends and I held reverence for hackers. One morning back in 2000, I woke up and heard on the news that someone had brought down Amazon, E-Trade, Yahoo, eBay, and CNN. Sweet. Sometime after that, news broke of the arrest of the perpetrator: a 15 year old boy named Michael Calce -aka MafiaBoy. I thought that was just the coolest **** ever because I was 15, too. There was this whole era where our parents, teachers, and other adults believed that just because some of us were adept with computers, that we were capable of terrible things like MafiaBoy was. The worst we were capable were isolated incidents at school or in public. I knew how to get into my schools grading and attendance system, SASI -but never had the ***** to change my grades. I added classes to the system like "RUSTY TROMBONING" and put in people I liked or didn't like, and gave them a grade commensurate to what I believed their talent in such an act was. Friend of mine in Colorado would get expelled from school around the same time for constantly getting printers throughout the school to print out The Hackers Manifesto as read from the movie Hackers. He got arrested a few years later after accessing the customer database of one of the big supermarket chains in his area.
