  Competitors reprice around the clock. Most sellers can't. That's why they lose sales they didn't know existed. Built PriceForge to fix that — it watches Amazon, eBay, Walmart and adjusts your listings automatically, with margin floors and MAP compliance built in.

  @kshot91 Not sure where you're seeing this. GME is down this week, sitting at $21.75 currently. EBAY is up this week, now sitting at $117.14 when it was $107 a couple weeks ago.

  @Pirat_Nation We have games like vagrant story that was released on disc but is only available at fairly high prices on eBay. If it was on the PlayStation store you’d know you’re getting a working copy at a more reasonable price. Don’t get me started on Sega Saturn game prices. People praise Steam since they can still play games they added in their library over 20 years ago. No fear about the laser in your disc drive breaking down. Digital is the best way forward for game preservation and reasonable prices.

  @pnwguerrilla Have the same bag, can confirm it's ****, will also continue to use it because I got mine for $25 off of Ebay with the plastic stiffener included. Might spray paint mine, the RitDyemore wasn't the fix I was hoping it was going to be.

  I'm from Finland, so literally the only way to find physical comics is from flea markets/second hand stores, and they're like so random issues. OR you cn buy from ebay/amazon and pay +20€ for shipping :)I have Marvel unlimited, but the DC one isn't even available in my country😭

  @MySoxSummer Got to be honest…you’ll have no problem getting that, if you are willing to ship to Japan on eBay obviously charge for the shipping probably could make more. Having a hard time finding ppl willing to give theirs up?

  @MaxHndrxx @CardPurchaser I was trying to buy a one piece card from a seller on eBay and the last sold where like $60 and he would not go down and I ended up winning it in a auction from PSA for like $45 lol

  @nntaleb @stan_yurin HVAC tech said I was asking him to commit a felony to top up my R-22 sub-zero fridge that had stopped cooling. Acted so self righteous. So I bot some off eBay & did it myself. No problems past 5 years. Buying a new fridge would have been worse for environment but that is what these stupid laws produce.

  Your competitors reprice daily. You're checking weekly. That's a margin problem. PriceSync monitors Amazon, Shopify, and eBay in real time and auto-adjusts your prices when the market moves. Live soon.

  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.

  @foxenflask RC added a synergy in GME & Ebay in collectables market where GME can certify & ship from local store. What he didn't mention is how cert and ship solves many scam issues, creates sales where buyers afraid walk away. Introduce a market for traders and another for collectors

  @Benny7563 @sneedweb Just average CEO move. He diluted the stock and Ebay burned stock. Last 5 years, Gamestock down 50%, Ebay up 68%. What will stop him from giving themsrlves a bunch of options or stock grants? They’re dishonent. Good companies need poison pills.

  @JamesBryhan I won't be quieting down on this. I used to spend over 500+ a month on Amazon and had prime, but I canceled my subscription and stopped using Amazon. Now I'm going to ebay or even hitting up local shops I wouldn't have given a second thought to before. I want this Stargate show to come back, immediately. Only then will I turn back to amazon

  @PeterTatchell @TheGreenParty Start with Starbucks. Make them pay their tax, then Amazon and EBay. The role of our governments is to let the wealthy who actually own the hedge funds who own the corporations to pay **** all in comparison to ordinary people. No western government is allowed to go after them, fix that and you fix the world. PS you can’t vote for the solution you need to rise against it.

  THIS WOMAN BUILT A $1,480 CUSTOM SERVER FOR A CALIFORNIA COMPANY THAT KILLED THEIR $5,000 A MONTH CLAUDE API BILL. The rack on her bench is a paid order. She builds these in Los Angeles from parts data centers threw out: a used Dell chassis from a data center liquidation sale in California, two Xeons, two 24GB Tesla P40s off eBay. NVIDIA sold each card for $5,700. She pays $180. Type Tesla P40 into eBay and sort by price: $150-250, thousands of them. $1,480 in parts, Ollama for free, 20 minutes to set up. A 32B model runs inside the office and nothing the company sends leaves the building. The client's software was firing thousands of calls a day at Claude: sorting documents, tagging tickets, drafting replies. $5,000 a month in API bills. Most of those calls never needed the top model. Now everything hits the box first, and only the hard ones still go out to Claude. The bill dropped to $840. The box eats electricity and nothing else. Three companies are waiting in the queue behind this one. Your own version starts with one $180 card in a spare slot. For herself she bought a $599 Mac mini. It runs a 14B model in silence, adds $4 a month to the power bill, and covers everything she used to pay $300 a month in subscriptions for. Paid for itself on the second billing date. She builds full racks for companies. Her own AI is the size of a sandwich, and it's enough. Save this while used 24GB cards still go for $180.

  22 Week Recap Days 1-154 Total Sales: $66,679.41 Buy Cost (COG): $11,490.24 eBay Earnings: $38,637.55 Net Profit: $27,147.31 ROI: 236% 720+ items sold. 154 consecutive days documented. Looking back over the last 154 days, I'm reminded that this business isn't built on one great flip. It's built on showing up every day. Every sourcing trip. Every listing. Every order packed. Every customer message answered. Every lesson learned. There have been huge wins. There have been slow days. There have been refunds, cancellations, buying mistakes, & defective returns. That's all part of reselling. The goal has never been perfection. The goal has been continuous improvement. Buy smarter. List consistently. Treat customers well. Repeat. Most of the profit didn't come from one massive sale. It came from hundreds of individual sales across dozens of different categories. Nothing glamorous. Just buying quality inventory at the right price, listing it consistently, and trusting the process. Every listing is another opportunity. Every sourcing trip is another chance to find inventory someone else overlooked. Those small decisions compound over time. Keep sourcing good inventory. Keep buying at the right price. Keep listing every day. The singles keep adding up. Most people overestimate what one day can do and underestimate what 154 days of consistency can do. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  2. Also won't this cause a whole heap of problems for places like games stop or selling on Ebay ect. You turn your physical disc into a digital copy then go trade in the disc the give you store credit for a disc that won't work or you sell the disc on ebay and it won't work unless you uninstall or whatever you have to do so the disk then works again.

  The Sports Card Shop (@_sportscardshop) reported 44 minutes ago

  Check out this Ohtani card Gold Storm inserts are supposed to be /25 Ours is not There are 2 others like it listed on eBay and 1 recorded sale on Cardladder PSA won’t grade it, nor will they recognize it as an error card Their response to our research request is below: “The manufacturer clearly missed this card during the QA process, and due to the missing serial number, would not have wanted it to be released to the public with that missing information.  PSA respects the manufacturer's design and QA standards, and are not able to accept this for encapsulation. “ I don’t see how Topps could remake it. They would have to acquire all the unstamped versions and either remake or stamp them all Do they even know how many are out there? In the end, I believe we’re holding a card that’s actually more rare than the actual /25 version It’s for sale. Open to offers.

  @noctis_research $GME is down over 57% the past 5 years. I think the shortsellers are doing just fine; infact I bet some of them bought an extra yacht with retail money. It is the loyal shareholders getting crushed with no end in sight. RCEO is gooning over @eBay and doesn't talk about Gamestop

  DK going to BK (@rkansas) reported 45 minutes ago

  @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.
