    I keep checking eBay and it’s so nice to see the DR ETB’s dropping like crazy! Down to $135 now with free shipping, love it! I remember looking about a month ago when Walmart did there huge drop to see if they would go down, they didn’t stayed around $200 But now I just wanna see them hit to floor @gamestop doing good for once, which is sad to say cause still $50 over MSRP… Y’all remember when ETBS like rage team were $40? Man them the days

    I was shooting quick little videos on the phone for pieces I'm putting up on eBay today and before taking down the test track sections, I popped this $20 steam loco chassis on the track. I bought this with a bunch of random pieces a couple months back but hadn't run any of it yet. This chassis in N scale, tiny and light as a feather so I wasn't expecting much from it to be honest. I was kind of shocked that without any additional weight on it, it ran this well. As a nice bonus... it sounds great! Sound to me is a big deal with model trains. Too many are a bit screechy / grinding, etc. For me that really hurts the enjoyment. I'm sort of obsessed with the whole "model railroading is too expensive" thing I hear so often. Of course it can be, but a chassis like this, at $20, opens up so many possibilities. We'll be shooting videos on these low prices chassis and what they can mean for the hobby! I really was knocked out by this train.

    PayPal tried to buy Stripe in 2013. Stripe said NO. 13 years later: Stripe is offering $53 billion for PayPal. Here’s the timeline that still feels unreal: 2013: Stripe is 3 years old. Raised $40M. PayPal (still owned by eBay) makes a bid. John Collison’s pitch to the PayPal founders: “Payments on the internet are totally broken.” They get it. The company doesn’t. Deal dies. 2014: PayPal buys Braintree for $800M instead (and gets Venmo as a freebie). Stripe does $7B in volume and hits a $1.75B valuation. Next decade Stripe volume compounds at 70% a year. Braintree at 43%. Last year alone: Stripe → $1.9 trillion Braintree → $600 billion 2026: Stripe hits a $159B secondary valuation. Then teams up with Advent and drops a $53B offer for PayPal. 50/50 ownership. $50B in bank financing already committed. The company that once looked too small is now trying to buy the one that was too big to fail. Internet moves fast. Pride moves slower.

    ebay sellers love slapping "PSA 10" in a title. The problem is: some of them are lying. 🚩 GrailScore now only scores a grade when it clearly includes a reputable grader: PSA, BGS, CGC, SGC, etc. Something like "OCE 10" or "potential PSA 10" no longer inflates a card's score.

    @knoyhead Bought hundreds of cards off ebay, only had an issue once where it was damaged and the seller refunded it to be dmg market value. Ebay does favour the buyer over the seller massively so you won’t have an issue, all orders have a money back guarantee from Ebay even if the seller says “no returns” Easy tells of fakes: they say in the description after long text, the card is dramatically under market value, seller has few items/sales, seller has same oic as other listing. Gl!

    @EricRStPierre Aaarrgg!! Ten cent and twenty five cent pieces! And a 1961 Canadian 50 cent piece now costs about $50 on eBay, when you include tax and postage. I think the 1961 is just about the most beautiful of Canadian coins. 1961… the upside down year according to MAD Magazine

    @Lowk33E @ZenkaiRanger Yeah but my thing is, I just don't care that much. Because of digital games I have more access to things I would otherwise NEVER have access to again without purchasing all the old retro consoles, and HUNTING those games down on eBay or something... MK9 is delisted.... so I just go score a copy of MKX for $5, or MK11 is probably free right now (if you have subscription)... Basically the woes have digital haven't hit me (except not being able to resell games on 2nd hand market is kind of a bummer... the future isn't perfect)

    @MoleculesGoHard However, the DEA has a policy of going after anyone selling it to individuals and finding some reason to charge them. It was selling by the liter on Ebay and Amazon until like 2015 when they cracked down Customs seizes it if bought from overseas and just doesn't provide a reason

    @BoCamaro @ItsJamesHall Some guy at the gas station tried to convince babseball cards are a great investment and he sold his truck and used the money to buy a **** ton of graded cards on Ebay. I just laughed at him. He couldn't even tell me Mark McGwire's rookie card year or what the Billy Ripkin error card had on it.

  • themanterrupter

    @tanman0028 Thanks, they were limited edition. I think I am gonna order a bunch and put them up on Ebay. Cause they are great. I didn't make them, but they aren't copyright. Guy who made them, doesn't want to make any more. I think it's the star, makes it look like a badge. Kinda, if you squint. The cops didn't have an issue, I'd have to actually say I was some sort of Law Enforcement... But they don't let me wear it at Amusement parks and Events. I might have a little tweak with the design before I run up mine. It will be hell dealing with the stitching because it isn't all one color. Cause I can erase the star. All an embroider needs is a pattern. I wanna make stickers too. Democracy and Capitalism, God I love America!

    I have dealt with a lot of theft and fraud in my life. It comes with the job of being a ship captain. The problem is never the theft. It’s the work the theft creates. Someone once stole a $500 radio out of our lifeboat. Five hundred dollars is a rounding error on a rig burning a million a day. Everyone had a pretty good idea who took it, but he almost certainly dropped it over the side, so there was no evidence, and with no evidence there was no reprimand. That $500 radio, a safety critical item, cost us hundreds of man hours. Paperwork. An investigation. New HR anti-theft training for every soul on board. Remedial steps to make sure it never happened again. Then a helicopter to fly the replacement out. That is the real cost of fraud in any system. For every dollar stolen, hundreds go to the agencies and nonprofits that exist to “fix” the problem. The theft is the seed. The compliance apparatus is the tree. The only real fix is to fire the people everyone already knows are stealing. HR will never allow it, because the entire anti-radio-theft ecosystem that grew up around the loss would collapse overnight. The ecosystem needs the thief more than the thief needs the radio. And theft is spectacularly inefficient on its own terms. Even if he got that radio ashore, it was worth maybe two hundred used on ebay. We spent tens of thousands to replace three hundred dollars of value that no longer existed anywhere in the world. It would have been WAY cheaper to hand him the radio and a receipt. That is the part nobody in the fraud-prevention business wants said out loud: the loss is almost never what breaks you. What breaks you is everything the institution builds to prove it responded. The saddest truth is it would be far cheaper to just send every Somali home with a million dollars each. They would be happier. We would be happier. Everyone would be better off except the NGOs

    JC - Texas Tea Man (@JoshuaRCook) reported

    @JayBobSons @CheckOutMyCards Have used it for years, keeping around 300 items...was good for streamlined buy/sell/grade. Problem 1 - they stopped offering SGC and PSA $ went up = grading not a real option. I pulled 1/3 off, all graded. Problem 2 - inventory control including shipments - too long and vague (there are 900K items ahead of your shipment). Problem 3 - cross listing of comc items on ebay = increased prices = no sales. Problem 4 - money goes onto comc easy...it does not come out easy. I wouldn't bother sending anything to them at this point. Maybe use them to hunt and ship home once a year. Happy Hobbying!

    Walk down a street in this abroad, people leave things outside you can easily pick up and use. Go to ebay, alot of free things with little fixes required or no damage you can use. Go to the second hand shops, good stuff for good price. We dont really do that where I come from. And even if you start it, ojukokoro and Anya ukwu will not let it flourish.

    The pain points I hear from overseas Whatnot sellers: · Resellers on eBay have already marked up by the time they buy · Freight forwarders add cost and delay · They cannot read Japanese shop listings directly · They miss limited runs and campaign releases entirely These are Japan-side problems. They need a Japan-side solution.
