  @Jaime91340945 @DutchDane59 Yes, you can swap batteries, screens, etc. If your phone (carrier) uses a SIM, there are MANY brand new "older phones" for sale on eBay and Amazon for under $200. Buy it, pop in your old SIM and away you go. No need for a "new contract", just fix or grab a new, old phone.

  @sneedweb Nothing moves GME. Beat earning...down, bid for Ebay, down. Get out of Ebay bid, down. BTC goes down, GME down. BTC up, GME down. This is normal. Just wait, soon wall street can't suppress the price anymore.

  OP17 has not even officially launched and the Luffy Gold SP is already seeing completed sales on ebay highest: $5k mean: about $3.9k lowest: $3.1k most sales happened on the 20th and i can't determine the price sold for 2 listings (accepted best offer) will the price of this card fly from here or do you expect it to cool down after launch?

  Ordered a modded 3DS XL from ebay... turns out the Ribbon Cable that connects the top part with the lower part of the DS is broken. Which means in need to take the entire thing apart. But that explains why the seller didn't accept any returns... 🫠

  @EggerDC Wrong. Those are not in a sealed box from the seller. Anyone could've tampered with that and what recourse would that person have? They bought of eBay AND Door Dash. That's illegal bud. You can't claim it's from Amazon, but really from the Krogers down the street. 🤡

  @AnarchoDarling I agree with you 100%. Such a bummer. I enjoyed a good side hobby on eBay in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Recently started it back up, but list/re-list prices and shipping costs are crazy high. Low views, too. I ended up shutting it down.

  @eBay So a buyer cancels an order within seconds, I nicely say Accept, but then i have to go waste my time and claim back postage, and wait. You automatically return the listing fee.. Makes no sense! Totally broken workflow in 2026! Do better!

  A2A tips (discontinued product edition): 1. Set alerts (FlipAlert, Keepa, etc.) on all discontinued products. You never know when Amazon will find a box in the back of their warehouse 2. Don’t buy deep right away just because you found out it was discontinued. Check how much total inventory is floating around at Amazon and other retailers first. I’ve made the mistake of jumping in way too early and tying up cash flow for months 3. For health & beauty items, put in a small order to check expiration dates before committing capital. It tells you how much time you have to sell through before you’re stuck holding expired product 4. If you have a buy and hold that has an order quantity limit, you can order 27 per week to keep stacking 5. Products going in and out of stock is a sign a product can be discontinued, especially if it can’t be found at any other major retailers. If these two line up, I like to reach out to the brand to confirm 6. If you can’t find the product on the brand’s own website, it’s a good sign it’s discontinued. Not guaranteed since some brands are just slow to update or reorganizing their site but it’s a good first check before digging further 7. Set alerts for third party sellers too. Sometimes a 3P seller doesn’t realize a product is discontinued or lists it lower by mistake and you can flip it back on eBay 8. Put your top items in the saved for later list. Sometimes you can catch Amazon in stock before monitors and alerts go off 9. Check if the discontinued product has a replacement or reformulation. If people still want the original over the new version, that opens up opportunity. If there’s no replacement at all, even better 10. Discontinued isn't always permanent. Brands can bring products back with new packaging, size changes, or just changing their minds. Always verify but don't assume discontinued always means gone forever

  @JSM1884 Even markets in places like Buenos Aires are ***************. Desperate broke people on eBay are the best hope. Got my match issue tagged unworn Dock Sud on there for £20 after telling the woman nobody has heard of them and it'll be a tough sell. Same with my River tank for £16.

  In 1954 Mickey Mantle was the best baseball player in America. In 1994 he was a raging alcoholic with a failing liver. He jumped the transplant queue, got a new liver, kept drinking, and died anyway. The liver went to someone who could pay. Not to someone who needed it most. That is not a legal question. It is not a moral question. It is a microeconomics question - and there is a Harvard lecture that builds the framework to answer it from scratch. His name is Jonathan Gruber. MIT, 14.01, Principles of Microeconomics. He advised the Massachusetts health reform that became the model for the Affordable Care Act. He has taught this course at MIT for over two decades. This is lecture 1. One claim: every decision you have ever made is a constrained optimization problem. You just did not know it had a name. At 08:17 he uses the iPod to show how three questions get answered simultaneously by one mechanism. What gets produced. How it gets produced. Who gets it. The answer to all three is the same variable: price. One number coordinates millions of strangers without any of them knowing the others exist. At 19:13 he gives Adam Smith's paradox. Water is necessary for life. Diamonds are not. Water is nearly free. Diamonds cost a fortune. Smith had the question in 1776. The answer requires both sides of one equation - and the side he was missing is what this course is built on. At 21:15 he puts the kidney auction on eBay to the room. Starting price $25,000. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. He asks whether eBay was wrong. The students argue. He does not resolve it. He says that question will take the rest of the semester to answer properly. A consultant I know says this is the lecture that made her realize she had been solving optimization problems her whole life without the vocabulary to describe them. Says she started seeing supply and demand curves in arguments she had been losing for years. Free on MIT OpenCourseWare, all 33 lectures. The kidney question from lecture 1 does not get a clean answer until week twelve. Most people who have opinions about ***** markets have never watched the part where the model is actually built.

  @MK5Cards I’m wondering when they’re gonna open back up, it’s kind of a bummer. I’ve had issues getting distribution as well, I’m basically **** out of luck for getting anything retail value. I’ve gotta buy in bulk from other eBay distributors and see if I can manage to make money on it is basically how it’s going to work for the next year or so. Nobody will sell or distribute to anyone unless you have an actual store front. I can’t afford to buy a brick and mortar storefront right now, who can afford that kind of overhead lol.

  @SwordOfTruthPod I missed this post. The algorithm pushed it down in my feed. Seeing it now makes me realize. I own every card in that game. I used to buy and sell on eBay. I perfectly remember this card. I have at least one. But never put it together. Steve Jackson, the game creator. Was raided by the Secret Service in 1993.

  @RobertKreib @CardPurchaser I send all of mine to consigner for eBay. I’m never going to take all the time to do. I don’t have to ship them and if they get returned, they are not my problem. I’ve probably sold 5000 cards this way and it completely worth taking the hit on their cut.

  @angelojello74 It can suck. What is hard to do is what you need to do and that is find a way to get ahead. Not just tread water, but get ahead and work you way to floating. Often that means doing a side hustle, so you can divert 20% of your primary income to investments. Something like an ETF that can reinvest dividend income every single month. The challenge is just finding what works for you. Arbitrage of one kind or another is often the low hanging fruit. Find a service or product that is in demand and be the middleman that gets communicates with the party to get the work done, while you make the customer happy with good follow up and communication with them. Think of it like a general contractor but for smaller tasks. Another thing you can learn and do is use an app to scan products first at your local stores in the discount section. You scan them to see what they are really selling for on Amazon or eBay. Looking for item that always sell and give you a good margin. There are great YouTube channels and videos on this. This turns a few hours on the weekend and say $100 to start into 30-50% profit margins. Not perfect but it requires almost no skill because the app does the calculations and the math or profit after fees, shipping and expenses. Hardest thing for you is to ship right away until you get the feel of the flow and can afford to ship items to amazon for shipping from their warehouse. Smaller margins at first as you get your first sales, feedback and reviews. But it scales fast as hell. You can even put items on a credit card if you must to get going just make sure you can use the app to pick a winner, create a basic listing (the bar code can help you do that). Other than 2 hours a week of effort and learning to pick winners with the app there is not much of a learning curve. There are tons of things like that. Instead of the discount isle you can go to yard sales with an app take photos and the app can help you search eBay for collectable prices. Here the margins are much larger but it takes more knowledge and skill. Watch @garyvee on his YouTube content for this game. Great videos, and he really breaks things down. For investments do not mess with individual stocks for the first few years. Just lift yourself out of the water. You can do this, just baby step what you try at first, stick you toe in the water. If you need video recommendations or more ideas just tag me and what I see it I will respond. I know it does not feel like it but it is almost too easy to make extra money now. You got this!

  Elon Musk was fired from his own company while flying to his honeymoon. September 2000. He boarded a plane with his new wife, finally taking a break. While he was in the air, unreachable, the PayPal board held an emergency vote and removed him as CEO. Executives he had hired organized the coup, timed precisely for the hours he couldn't defend himself. He landed to discover he no longer ran his own company. He flew back immediately and tried to fight it. The board held firm. The coup stood. Here's where the story becomes about him and not them. He didn't sue. He didn't burn it down. He didn't spend years in litigation like most founders would. He stayed on the board, kept his shares, and kept advising the men who knifed him. When asked why, he said the mission mattered more than his ego, and his shares mattered more than revenge. Two years later PayPal sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. Because he'd stayed instead of raging, his stake had grown into $180 million. The betrayal became the exact capital that funded SpaceX and Tesla. The men who fired him made him the richest founder in the building. Every rocket that launches today was paid for by a coup that was supposed to end him. Revenge is expensive. Equity is patient. He chose the one that compounds, and the people who wronged him ended up financing his empire.

  I broke down and bought a copy of The Potential Daleks. This boxset was clearly a big seller because it's hard to find for cheap. If you look on ebay it's already going for $200+! Luckily I found mine at @alienentertain, but it was still $85. Good grief! Could be worse I suppose.
