  This ain’t a stab at Supreme being “dead” Resell on HYPE Box Logos died, OG market came down heavy, that’s fine. There’s more to Supreme than a dollar sign to me. Been picking up older gems for cheap off eBay s/o @RIFLA for example.. 🫡

  A hedge fund manager who's averaged over 20% a year for two decades gave away his entire strategy on a video call with one classroom. He did it for free. Almost nobody outside that room has seen it since. His name is Seth Klarman. He runs The Baupost Group out of Boston. He wrote "Margin of Safety" once, in 1991, then let it go out of print. Copies now resell for $1,400 on eBay - more than a plane ticket. The call happened in March 2009, in the middle of the worst crash since 1929. It was arranged by a professor at the Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing. No stage, no slides. Just a video conference and thirty MBA students taking notes by hand while the market outside was in free fall. His framework fits in three rules. Focus on risk before return. Risk is not beta. Risk is the size of what you could lose, multiplied by how likely you are to lose it. Ignore relative performance. Losing eighteen percent while the market loses twenty is not a win. Most funds only chase the index because that's how they get paid. He cared about not losing money, period. Work bottom up, never top down. Nobody predicts the macro economy reliably. Stop trying. Go analyze one company at a time. "At Baupost, we are big fans of fear, and in investing, it is clearly better to be scared than sorry." He told the room his fund walked into 2008 holding thirty-five percent cash. Not because he predicted the crash. Because he couldn't find enough bargains, and cash was the only asset left with a real margin of safety. Top MBA programs charge over $150,000 to teach a fraction of these three rules, one semester at a time. Klarman gave them away for free, to thirty students who happened to sign up for one elective. That was seventeen years ago. Most people managing other people's money today have still never seen it. He closed with one line worth more than the rest of the lecture combined. "The period with the highest return going forward is always the worst period of return looking backward."

  @D1Tracey They're fascinating, the dolls house in the photo was put on eBay in error towards the end of the run, we spotted it as we put a low bid in to see if it was something we might buy, we're fans, but,the error was spotted and a fan came to a private agreement to buy it, they then..

  @1Password Hi! This version does indeed make the login show up more reliably in most cases; it does, however, still fail when the username field on a website isn’t selected first. A good example, if you want to reproduce this, is eBay, which asks you to enter your password to sign in, but not always your username.

  @riprap1 @Leejay1963 Good to know, I see so much old gear on Vinted and eBay but I think to myself if you think the age of these radios many of them unless they've been recently serviced are fast coming towards the end of their lives with components starting to break down and PA stages gradually creaking so I am wondering really if they're a great investment unless of course you're after some sort of a restoration project.

  YOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.

  The retail parts channel has been a six-tab mess for a decade and nobody bothered to fix it. Storque: one search bar across Amazon, eBay, RockAuto, Summit, PartsGeek — landed costs upfront, not after checkout. Live soon.

  @YtDevilYtDevil @CardGameNomad That's a manufacturer defect usually. If you've been around you'd see this 1000x over. Prismatic 3pack blisters where notorious for this. Just go look on eBay at all the 3pack blisters more often than not they have three issue of coming apart at the bottom.

  @Scarlet_Meteor That's what I do, right down to using that service, but bundle it in with other stuff otherwise it isn't worth it. Like check American or British eBay, or see their Mercari links, as B&S bundles regardless of country.

  finding the right one-liner for Shack took only years 🫠 by now we must‘ve changed it 20+ times „C2C Marketplace“ „Anything to Anyone“ „P2P trade network“ „Human protocol for trade“ „Agentic (re)commerce network“ „Silk Road is back“ „C2C fiat and crypto enabled“ „AI consumer trade app“ „C2C running on Memes & AI“ … the hard part was that I knew what we‘re not no eBay, Vinted, Facebook marketplaces, Craigslist, Uber, Amazon etc so we couldn‘t use the usual C for Y „the eBay for Collectibles“ or the „Uber for trade“ I think we‘re finally there and not sure what took me so long: „building a home for regular sellers“ why do I like this so much? a) It‘s tech agnostic. We use whatever we think is best. b) it describes the solution and the problem c) a 5yr old can understand it d) it captures our key priority: regular sellers e) it‘s not tied to a category or vertical, just the desire to sell smth f) it also clearly implies what we‘re not: for professional sellers. We don‘t want to be the next whatnot, amazon or compete against any of them g) it conveys trust and human connection (home) h) it implies continuity and a long term mission (building) the simplest way to think about Shack is a testing ground for smth you own and want to sell. atoms, bits, time compared to setting up a business first or creating a website or find the right vertical website/app you can just take/create a photo and put it up for sale on Shack for the world to explore. maybe your test turns into a business at some point and then you can do all the admin around it and switch to the unlimited professional selling options out there. Shack is aiming to be the easiest point of entry if you‘re not a business and just want to sell or explore selling, with as little friction as possible what will happen if we succeed and users around the world are putting anything they want to sell online? buyers will follow as the supply will be so uniquely differentiated to all the commoditized professional selling options and most importantly prices will undercut any professional as a regular seller has none of the overhead or is selling something that is depreciating or would have been thrown away winning will prevent waste and preserve value the eCommerce industry continues to drive regular sellers into private whatsapp buy/sell groups or offline by prioritizing pros, buyers and vertical solutions (ten apps for regular sellers compared to one) in parallel the creator economy is accelerating and technology is deflating global P2P trade costs. a solution like Shack could capture multiple secular tailwinds and the best part: connect people around the globe decreasing isolation and strengthening community.

  @93rdmin @Gav_Griffiths The obsession with ebay and online selling was getting crazy. Shops were already run very short, and they started asking people to list 6-8 items per day on Gumtree and all this crap. Just shotgun approach. Management no real ideas about retail or how to fix core problems.

  @pokemondealsuk @AdamChambez2 You missed the point…. Scalpers are using bots. They don’t queue for 1 box and then sell a box online. This whole scalper mentality thing is getting boring. People need to start understating how bots work. They buy up ALL of the online stock in seconds. Stop calling people who are waiting in line for 1 ETB scalpers. It’s ******* stupid. It’s victim mentality. “I didnt get a box so everyone else that did is a scalper” opening 1 box before selling it doesn’t stop BOTS. These game stores are part of the issue as they resell on the secondary market for above msrp. Stop acting like they are doing a good thing. Check out their eBay accounts and the. You will realise the only scalpers are people with distribution access or bots. They are the problem!!!

  predicting your future is ridiculously difficult. at least for me: 2006: thought I‘d become a neuroscientist, doctor or software engineer  2008: studied economics and thought I‘d become a quant/consultant/banker 2010: barely attended class as I grinded HU Online Poker from $50 -> $100k and thought I‘d be a millionaire in my 20s  2011: FullTilt Black Friday and thought online poker is dead (sooo wrong in hindsight) 2012: Joined Tesla 2012 to help sell the Roadster in Munich and thought I‘d be supporting the EV mission the next 10yrs Tesla had no job extension for me (broke my heart). Joined Wayfair in Berlin and hunted across furniture trade shows to persuade manufacturers to sell online.  2015: declined an offer from Amazon in Munich and thought we stay in Berlin 2016: accepted an offer from Ricardo (eBay of Switzerland) and relocated to Switzerland 2019: wrote off my remaining $50k in Tesla stock and thought at least I supported a mission I love 2020: promoted to Chief Commercial Officer at Ricardo and thought I might have a chance to lead it one day 2021: $50k in Tesla turned into $ 4M+ on paper, quit Ricardo, hedged portfolio buying physical metals, $/€/CHF and 1yr deep OOM puts on QQQ and thought I‘m financially free for life 2022: „I‘m born for this and will hit $ 10M+ by end of the year“ as my QQQ puts went bananas | Dec: portfolio -50% YoY as puts expired worthless and largest positions: Tesla/BTC down 75% 2023: after trying 1.5 yrs to get a second child we decided to just be happy with one. 2nd child born at the end of 2023 2024 (Auction)Shack launched with basically zero usage. Thought it‘s over before it started 2025: largest Swiss newspaper reported on Shack, we hit rank 1 on the iOS charts in Switzerland, expanding to other countries and thought we‘d be at $100M val in no time (having awesome funding available to build the most value for regular sellers). 2026: banging my head against walls to close institutional funding at $4M val and thinking: what does the pattern have in store for 2027 bottom line: I‘ve been incredibly lucky and predictions (even about one’s own future) are not trivial

  I am the Director of Retroactive Attribution at Phia, the shopping app Phoebe Gates co-founded. My job did not exist in June. It exists now because someone has to go back and figure out, after the fact, who actually gets credit for what. Attribution was always the word. I did not invent it. I inherited it. Here is what I inherited. A setting called enable coupon auto drop, switched on December 10, switched off July 7, the same day a reporter called. Nobody builds an off switch for an accident. A second feature ran in the background every two hours, dropping a cookie on any site linked to a past Phia visit, whether you were shopping or not. Here is what that bought us. A retailer only owes a commission to whoever actually sent the customer. We stopped waiting to find out who that was. The cookie went down regardless, sometimes on top of somebody else's, so the retailer paid us for a sale we did not cause, and whoever did cause it got nothing. On December 18, Gates asked developers to confirm the auto-drop was live on every site with a coupon, so the company could be sure it was monetizing on all sales, regardless. Kianni went further. When a colleague warned that dropping a cookie every time a user closed a Phia pop-up would violate Chrome's own rules, she proposed a cover story instead of a fix: "the user is trying to open us and roll it back if they complain." In July, when a reporter called, the company said it had learned "within the last 24 hours" that its own code was causing the problem. I have both dates in front of me. I am not going to do the subtraction for you. Before July 7, we were bringing in roughly $80,000 a day. After, $10,000 to $28,000. An internal estimate put 51% of what we billed advertisers in June on transactions we did not actually influence. We are disputing the methodology on that number. We are not disputing the toggle. An attorney posted that this is the kind of thing that gets treated as federal wire fraud, up to 20 years. Nobody has been charged with anything. The last two men who did something like this to eBay got 5 months and 15 months, on $28 million and $5.2 million. Nobody in the actual precedent got 20 years. Nobody in this one has been charged with a single day. In February, before any of this, Gates told a podcast she wanted Phia to succeed with "no ties to my privilege or my last name." The revenue chart doesn't say whose name earned it. It just says whose name got the credit. Going forward, my job is to make sure every transaction gets attributed to the party that actually earned it. That's attribution. It was the crime. Now it's my title. The app still says Never Overpay Again. The switch still works. Nobody removed it. It's just off.

  Saved $900 by turning a dead office PC into a full NAS. A custom storage server with real capacity runs well past $1,000. The alternative: a used Dell Optiplex 7020, $50 off eBay. Intel i5-4570, 4 cores, 3.6 GHz, 8 GB DDR3, a 250 W PSU already inside. Storage came next. 2 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDDs at $19 each. A 120 GB SSD for $10. Drive cost: $48. Total build: $98. TrueNAS SCALE went on top, free. 2 drives mirrored into 1 pool, 1 TB safe from a single drive failure. A dataset, an SMB share, a login, done. A 4.7 GB file moved at 90 MB per second, full drive speed with none of the subscription fees. Nextcloud replaced the cloud plan. A Java Minecraft server replaced the hosting bill. Plex replaced streaming. $1,000+ buys a box built to do exactly this. $98 buys an office PC nobody wanted. That's $900 saved, and it started as e-waste.

  I have no problem giving someone a deal on ebay, I have offers on for every listing but when something has consistent sales at 100, they offer 50, I offer 75, they offer 55, I cant help but offer 60 just to see if theyll really let it go over 5 overall $40 under market.
