T Bell (@BellTerryNEBC) reportedThis dam was built by highly corrupt SNC Lavelin. It was supposed to be 12 billion. It was over 20. There has yet to be any audit . It was built of the soft earthen banks of the peace & is highly likely to fail or its banks catastrophically collapse EBay had best stand down

NO1ennn (@N01ennn) reportedA HOMELAB BUILDER JUST PAIRED AN AMD EPYC 77 CHIP WITH 512GB OF DDR5 AND LLAMA.CPP TO RUN DEEPSEEK V3 ENTIRELY FROM RAM WITHOUT A SINGLE GPU 00:03 "my very own AI super computer, not exactly, but it should be quite capable. the goal is to run large LLMs entirely from RAM with a decent context window" the stack is minimalist. one AMD EPYC 77 series processor, 8 memory channels, 512GB of DDR5 ECC, llama.cpp compiled for CPU inference. no GPU. no CUDA. no waiting for a used 3090 to appear on eBay running DeepSeek V3 and Llama 4 from system memory means inference happens at CPU speeds, slower per token but unlocks model sizes that would need a $40,000 8xH100 server to fit on GPU. 405B parameters loaded straight into RAM the article ranks local AI compute from $180 Tesla P40 up to $4,199 Mac Studio. this build sits in a different lane entirely. not GPU acceleration, but raw memory capacity. RAM is the new frontier for anything above 200B parameters most people wait out the GPU shortage. he built an inference machine that never needed a GPU in the first place save this before every homelab realizes their server chassis was already an LLM machine waiting for enough RAM ↓

Aaron Harris (@Dudewithacigar) reported@Jeffdeehan Having firsthand experience with situations like this, I can tell you that, generally speaking, most of this equipment is worthless. I would strongly suggest grabbing someone with solid kitchen experience to walk through the space with you. Have them pull any proprietary or potentially valuable components—control boards, circuit boards, specific switches, or the occasional useful part. That said, the most important thing to know is that the vast majority of it is junk. You’ll likely be able to reduce everything down to just a few boxes of keepers. Sell those on eBay (or similar), make a few bucks, and take your team out for lunch. Then call your local recycler to haul away the rest. Trust me—your desire to squeeze out a few extra dollars isn’t worth the pain of trying to market, store, or move this stuff. The secondary market for used restaurant equipment is extremely limited.

rvsh (@rvsh53867562) reportedI watched the interview 2 times. First I thought that if ebay is taking notes on these Interview, they might fix it themselves without us. Then i reminded myself they’d have to fire themselves. $GME 🎯 $EBAY @amitisinvesting @ryancohen

☦️ Before the beginning: 🙏 (@AnteGenesis) reported@alanwatts21 @ryancohen I won’t be surprised if we find out that these fraud heavy accounts are pulling in money for the USAID/NGO vacuum that DOGE created. The issue with USPS tracking numbers being fed to the fraudsters to provide a faux proxy delivery within a zip code where the eBay buyer resides is very suspicious. The USPS refuses to give info of point of delivery that proves the delivery was made to a location NOT the buyer’s eBay registered address makes me think USPS is party to the scam.

Retronic Gamer (@RetronicGamer) reported@JobTavon @insomniacgames 1. You don’t even have to drive to a store if you don’t want to, go on Amazon or Ebay and get a new or used game with a disc in good shape. The only thing you have to lose here is patience, but ownership is far more important than instant convenience for glorified renting. 2. You have to physically TRY to break a disc, or you just have to be that damn careless. And the hardware itself for any console could have an issue first, not just the drive. And replacing the drive itself doesn’t cost as much anyways, only cost me a solid $20 for a 16 year old Xbox 360 console. 3. Sharing an account comes with more risks, because you have to genuinely trust that person with that account data. Let’s say a friendship is ruined, what if that ex-friend decides to delete your cloud data, delete/lockup your account, or **** with your account information? Overall, sharing a disc or cartridge with a friend is much safer overall. You could argue that friend could end up ruining the disc or the cartridge. If it were that bad, then hopefully your friend will care enough to pay you back. Especially if it were for a title like Silent Hill for the PS1, or Deadpool on the Xbox/PlayStation.

Aly (@alynokioku) reported@kusoge_elitist if price is an issue and you want something like an enterprise laptop, the Panasonic let's note series is pretty good and IMO better at the smaller thinkpad X series. barely anyone knows about them so their prices are solid on ebay. I almost got the CF SV9

Auri (@Bleek____) reported@eBay I have to say, I'm floored at just how bad you guys have become. Honestly, 20 years on your platform and you can't even send a human to fix your mess? This is why @Walmart and @amazon are eating your lunch. Have fun with your scammers.

Clector (@clectorapp) reported@DKSports And the card market totally forgot he's still this guy. A two-time Cy Young, and deGrom trades at a $6.81 average across just 56 eBay tracked sales in 90 days, with not one card clearing $100. Years of injuries gutted his market down to common-box prices. If the healthy, dominant version is back for good, that's about as low as a future Hall of Famer's floor ever gets.

OnlyCharizard (@OnlyCharizard) reported@herschcox @CardPurchaser If you ship through ebay they get notified by email & if they miss that they can see it on their orders page. If you ship outside of ebay & add the tracking number they get the exact same info. You said "USPS side issue" as if it wasnt delivered? In that case they get a refund.

Peg Aloi (@themediawitch) reported@Schwartzcards2 @eBay yup; using it to do research for an article and every link is broken now

SwamiLee (@SwamileeSports) reported@thecardminers @CardPurchaser @eBay This may go down as my worst day since I opened an ebay store 15 or more years ago...

Richard Slack (@xRichardSlack) reported@eBay if I order something and the courier loses it for a week and, the new promised delivery date is so late that I have already had to purchase a replacement for the item I haven’t received, why is it my problem? Whatever happens now I am losing money and you are getting rich!
-
Pierce Cards (@PierceCards) reported@SwamileeSports @CardPurchaser @eBay Instead of playing victim take 100% accountability. If you think eBay is suppressing your sales, take your best card and list it at 25% of comps. I bet it sells. This is an inventory and/or pricing problem.

FlyTheElephant Knots+BIP110 #BitcoinIsHope (@FlyTheElephant1) reported@FieldNas Ebay thinkpads are about 150-200 bucks with 16GB ram. just needs a 2tb ssd. and maybe could be had cheaper if they have broken screen ones. Laptop is a good option because they have a battery built in, they are compact and can be mounted to a wall or underside of a table.

💙 🇨🇿 Dana Wilson 🇬🇧 💙 (Premium Sadly 🌸🐣🌸) (@czbikerchick) reported@Oxfordite If it is wrong size though, isn’t it easier to return the wrong size and get the correct one? I have discussed one of my latest eBay problems with ChatGPT and discovered sellers get reimbursed for problems. So they are not at loss.

Jeff (@Jeff56829691278) reportedJust finally checked out after adding my info 3x and got this error message. Not cool when you add your credit card info and it glitches… hopefully I get an email to confirm my order went through. It’s like EBay management is still living in 1996.

6days1week (@6days1week) reported@ValueAddedRS @ODB123 @ryancohen If price goes down, EBay looks fraudulent for not accepting the $125 offer. If the price goes up, Ryan/GME looks like geniuses for accumulating unrealized gains. So, we trade sideways (for now), but eventually, something will give, and therefore, a backup plan is not needed.

NoFlo Cards Enzo (@CardsEnzo) reported@Custer12 @eBay @PSAcard It's a known issue for over a year and they continually get tagged on these, they just don't care apparently lol.

Chad (@Chadventures_) reportedOn August 1, an Xbox Series X will cost $800. Microsoft keeps saying they want consoles to be "affordable." Those two things sound incompatible until you see what hit my inbox last week: pallets of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP, headed for the secondhand market. I pieced this together over the past week, and it got more interesting the deeper I went. In April, Microsoft put out the "We Are XBOX" memo. Two lines stood out: "Xbox will be built to be affordable, personal, and open." "Pricing is getting harder for people to keep up with." Then in June they announced the third price hike in two years, effective August 1. The Series X Disc over 18 months: $499 in early 2025 $599 in May $649 in October $800 on August 1 The Series S, the supposed budget option, went from $299 to $499 over the same stretch. If you've been waiting for new console prices to come down, they aren't going to. Why not just cut prices? They can't. Microsoft's own hike announcement blamed memory and storage costs running more than 2.5x higher. That's AI demand doing the work: Microsoft alone is putting $190B into data centers this year, up 60% from 2025, and that same buildout is inflating RAM, storage, and GPU prices. The exact parts inside a console. There has never been a worse time to build a cheap console. Their own CEO admitted it in June: it's "hard to imagine that mass audiences can afford thousands of dollars" for a console generation. She said we'll see "radically different business models" later this year. I think I found out what one of those models looks like. I run an ecommerce business, so liquidators send me wholesale offers all day. Last week one landed: five SKUs of Xbox consoles at 65% off MSRP. Series S at $140. Series X at $280. 500 unit minimums. That's the flyer attached to this post. I started asking questions, and the answers were better than the flyer. Per the supplier, these come straight from Microsoft's trade-in program. Around 50,000 units in this batch alone. Every unit has to be fully functional to qualify. Tested, all accessories and cables included, just no retail box. And here's the part that got me: they aren't even in the warehouse yet. Microsoft ships them out over the next 30 days. Resellers are pre-ordering allocations right now. Where do 50,000 discounted Xboxes go? To resellers, who flip them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Whatnot. Over the next few months. In volume. So here's my read. "Flexible pricing" isn't one thing. It's 0% financing at checkout. It's the Game Pass price cuts. And it's the part I haven't seen reported: letting the used market deliver the affordable console while new hardware climbs. Microsoft keeps their margins, skips the logistics, and the trade-in program becomes the budget tier. Could I be wrong? Sure. Nobody outside Redmond knows for certain, and I can't independently verify where the liquidator's units come from. But 50,000 tested consoles moving through one channel weeks before a price hike is a signal, whatever the intent. So if you want an Xbox and don't need it sealed in a box: wait a couple months. Tested, working consoles with all the accessories are about to be everywhere, cheap. Or would you still pay $800 for the box?

Clector (@clectorapp) reported@OptaSTATS @Yankees And yet the card market treats him like a role player. For a résumé no one else in history matches, Bellinger trades at just a $17 average across 135 eBay tracked sales in 90 days, with only 2 cards clearing $100. The hobby priced him off the down years, not the trophy case. One of the most decorated players in the game, sitting in the bargain bin.

T (@Tschuochsutaere) reported@VolaTim $PYPL will go down in the history books, in how to squander a once in a lifetime head start to getting taken out by a rival half your age. Fascinating and the market thought after the EBAY spun out PYPL will be a lean mean innovation machine the opposite happened.

MICHAEL bull ROBERTS (@BullRoberts) reported@sootiekay i would have sold it all on ebay if i had the patience to list them all but i do not. but i still could have got more money from the lot if i had brought them to the card and comic shop there is one down the street from me. my head was just shut down for the day i guess lol

ex_mortal_ (@ex_mortal_) reported@andrevv_jones @objktcom Yeah! The adapters work pretty well. You’ll find like 5 or 6 of those in any analog glitch artists junk drawer. I feel you I’m currently looking for a new crt and man I can’t believe how hard it is to find a decent one. eBay prices are insane

CaptainAmerica.eth (@EthShotGuy) reported@RipRoutine @eBay Glad to be of service. Hope they fix it. I want the card or my money back.
