  TCG Outpost breaks down meeting a buyer who allocated $3,000,000 cash budget strictly for Dodgers Luffy Dons. We go to the hotel. Homie is posted up at the bar with a coffee, a security guard, and a guy with a duffle bag full of cash next to him. He had been there all day. People were coming and going, coming and going, selling him all their cards. When we asked how much he was buying, he said his goal was $3 million dollars allocated just to Dodgers Luffy Dons. By himself. I am looking at this guy like, who are you, bro? He was paying $900 dollars cash a pop, so he is not even trying to lowball. He wants them that badly. They were selling on eBay for 1.1 to 1.2 at that time, and he is offering $900 dollars cash. To me, the price was right for that. We sold half of them basically. We doubled up, recuperated $10.8K, and now the rest we are just sending off to grading and we are just going to let it ride.

  Ebay - similar issues - screen layout won't fit the browser window and certain buttons won't respond when pressed, pictures not displaying, etc. Hardly a ringing endorsement for your websites is it.

  This point by @Asmongold is relevant for all digital media. I purchase ebooks mostly from Kobo bc I can strip the DRM for backups, but Kindle owners can’t do the same anymore. Their ebooks aren’t actually theirs, and Amazon can update the story content on you or even remove the ebooks just like Sony recently removed 550 movies from user libraries. Remember when Amazon removed purchased copies of 1984 from user libraries in 2009? Let’s circle back to gaming and consider the second hand NSW & NS2 market. The Switch is now seen as physical media’s main defender, yet a used game off eBay can trigger Nintendo to block your console’s online access if the prior owner ripped and shared it. Or GFCs. Yes, they can be traded between friends and resold legally, but they will always be a dongle that needs authorization before it will play. Same with game Nintendo licensing in general. I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t play my legally purchased Pokémon game on my legally purchased Switch Lite bc a family member was using the family NS2 with my linked account at the same time. (You can fix that particular annoyance, but Nintendo doesn’t make it intuitive.) Yes, having physical editions of games is important, but licensing with DRM benefits corporations, not consumers. It means we don’t own what we purchase, even if we hold it in our hands.

  Most issues with eBay purchases can be resolved by contacting the seller via eBay messages, this is not the end of the world #MyibidderTips

  @RepkoJoseph @CardPurchaser OMG!! Just file a claim thru eBay and you’ll get your money back. Really isn’t a big issue. My two cents and definitely sent this with more snark than intended. But I’m too lazy to retract.

  @gamerprince1999 Tbh Ebay takes a cut, you have to compete with other sellers and you have to pay for shipping materials and hold responsibility until the buyer has the item. GameStop isn't stellar and has it's issues, but it does offer instant cash right now, no questions.

  @262Peterson @CardPurchaser They (many others) need to be banned from eBay or EBay goes auto pay only. I also know others that seller canceled by a fulfilled order need to have the same thing happen. The problem is eBay needs users/members.

  @MorgenHatton @gamestop @ryancohen GameStop writes off the game and donates it. Someone steals the game. Then sells it on eBay through GameStop. Then eventually whoever bought the game trades it in for a small GameStop credit and GameStop eventually writes the game off and donates it. Infinite Money Glitch!🚀🎊🎉

  @sspjoel1 Hey there, yes I’ve sold on eBay but lately I’m just too busy so I have taken my stuff down. I’d recommend buy it now and do something between 2-3% prompted in my experience. Heard that from someone else and I feel it helps.

  @RetroDerezzed I know what you mean there. My mother ordered three 256gb cards for her security cameras that I installed yesterday. Sadly not knowing she ordered them from ebay and got send 'lenovo' cards, obvious fakes which the camera reported a problem with and the pd also had issues. I found some on Viking but the prices were so insane she had to settle for 64GB. Ok good enough for 2 weeks storage of footage but still, it was only a few years ago I bought a bunch of 512 GB cards for my ODE's and they were around the same price £30 or so. AI and data centers (read survailence centres) have a heck of a lot to answer for.

  There are people who take advantage of eBay’s 14 day return policy when it comes to #TCG /sports cards stuff. It’s profitable to just buy raw cards, digitally grade them, and return the cards that don’t grade well, and send in the best ones for grading. But it’s ****** up, as requires the seller to have to go to the post office the first time AND they have to pay the return shipping. eBay doesn’t give sellers the option of returns. It is the same issue I had when selling crypto mining rigs, even with $50k of sales, eBay always sided with the buyers(Bitcoin mining rigs are expensive right? Not when you just buy a $2.5k rig then return it after 14 days of overclocking it with third party firmware that overheats it till the heat syncs just fall of the hashboards. Though more unscrupulous scammers would litterally just rip out our working like new hashboards and replace them with broken spare parts before returning them. One person even listed our hash boards he ripped out of his unit before the refund request was granted. eBay granted them the refund and let them keep the stolen hashboards listed. At what point does eBay become legally liable for knowingly facilitating the sales of stolen goods? The answer to that is never, as we used macro photos, videos of packing, and stickers to show tampering and marked the hashboards with sharpie and photographed that to prove it was stolen, eBay knew the buyer stole our hashboards and let them sell them and let them get their refund and made us pay the return shipping- and sure enough, it came back with all broken hashboards, and eBay did not care). I’ve been researching the TCG space, as it fascinates me as a store of value. Satoshi is a Japanese name, and TCG (TCG = trading card games, specifically pokemon) was huge in Japan prior to US. Before Bitcoin, high value TCG cards could be used as a storage and transfer of money. Can stack of Pokemon cards worth $100k in a backpack and walk through security at an airport, but for some reason it’s problem if you bring $100k cash. Just saying, while I’m still all in crypto, I kinda appreciate TCG cards as being even more anonymous store of value than bitcoin. Pokemon has a longer track record of value growth than bitcoin, as it existed well before bitcoin. So while a smaller total market cap (billions not trillions), it’s sorta become a safer long term investment than most, as many products especially sealed products and first gen cards have outpaced both gold and the stock market overall. The Pokemon crowd thinks it’s a bubble, because they want to believe it is because they just like collecting cards and want to be able to afford the ones they want, but they sound exactly like people in 2015-2017 calling bitcoin a bubble. Imo take just one billionaire or 9 fig investor to double the market cap by buying up the floor(including the lower grade vintage ones and the less rare vintage ones, pop control isn’t the way to go to grow a market, buying up the floor is. Was only 10 million of the Pokemon English first edition cards printed, while today there’s 2 billion cards printed per year. There’s 21 million bitcoins. If the Pokemon crowd knew what was good for them, they’d start making that comparison to Bitcoin and argue that all first edition cards should have a floor of at least $1k(which is way way more realistic than the $100 XRP people. If every first edition card printed(even the ones torn and stuff) surpassed $100 each, it’d add less than $10b to the market cap. Seeing how collective crypto market caps added $10b of value many times in just an hour, it’s not even unrealistic.). Though the Pokemon crowd doesn’t promote it that way(they should, would be easy af for all them with a binder of mid condition first gen cards to get rich lol, they’re allergic to money though unfortunately). Anyways got off topic from the eBay issue. eBay really needs to fix that, they should make a device for sellers to scan cards and just stop allowing returns

  @staypredictable So, gme holders have 1 gme, ebay 2.84. For every current 1 gme share, there will be 3.84 after merger. 1/3.84=.26, meaning your ownership of gme is now 26% what it used to be. Debt isnt free, and overleveraging where ev >> mc will slam the price down

  ➡️ LAKE SATOSHI 7/31-8/2 MI ⚡🏝️ (@NEEDcreations) reported 59 minutes ago

  My full collection of 1st Edition Base Set Pokemon Cards is going on sale on @eBay in under 24 hours. The auction will last 10 days. I wanted to pass these cards down to a family member, but due to personal reasons, I have decided to sell them. Each of the 102 cards I bought for $5-$2000+ has done a 5-7x since since when I bought them in 2020-2021. Considering that Bitcoin is now back at its 2021 price, I make out pretty well by selling these cards now and buying more bitcoin. In terms of passing something down, the fruits of these extra sats will yield a lot more than these cards can, so I feel that at this point, it's justified.
