  @cmpayneful @GameStopOnChain Consider this a rabbit hole, but if you choose to go down, will lead to more… like XRP. Surprisingly this stuff connected to Epstein, which is why the DOJ is gonna be important. If I were to guess I think eBay was permitting trafficking kids likewise to JP Morgan

  @Christo43252701 I've got a couple of rebuilt ones that people use for the paintball and larva. They're basically bewfwang radios with the Harris shell. I do have one though I bought off eBay that ended up coming from china. After about 20 freaking weeks it finally showed up and was an actual working Harris radio with all the original guts. It took me a while to find somebody that could help me program it because I couldn't find the software anywhere I'm just not that tech savvy. Was able to look up the instructions and could hand program it no problem. Funny enough the real one constantly crashes and changes functions channels frequencies Etc all on its own. Basically it's junk and I let my kid play with it LOL But as a side note I now have a contact to a seller who can get me any piece of those radios and similar that I need whether it be a battery latch a weird spring a **** or a button face LOL

  @boomboomfaia Yeah we had to turn off shipping TO the EU because of LUCID and the new PPWR rulings (US based issue for Etsy/Ebay) But I do believe acggoods does handle most of that since they are the ones producing and shipping the items. Only thing is the tariffs but that is customer based

  Genius Business (@GeniusBusiness_) reported 22 minutes ago

  PayPal's real product in its early years wasn't payments. It was survival. The company was building something that regulators, banks and its own biggest platform had no category for. Stefan Heck: "It was a true disruption of a very established, very regulated industry, right? Payments, banking… and they were doing things that didn't fit an existing category." Not fitting a category meant almost everyone with power over PayPal had a reason to switch it off. Reid Hoffman, who became Peter Thiel's firefighter chief, describes the job he was handed: "Make sure eBay doesn't drive us off the service. Make sure Visa doesn't shut us down. Persuade the federal government that it's okay that we're not a bank." Nancy Lublin on the person they sent to handle it: "He was the wolf. I mean, he was the fixer." John Lilly remembers how routine the existential threats became: "I remember we had breakfast one time. He said, 'I have to leave at 8:30 because I got to get on the plane to New York to go talk to Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of New York, who's suing PayPal for basically anti-money laundering type things.' And he's like, 'I just got to go fix this and here's how I'm going to fix it because New York was convinced that PayPal is being used for gambling, all sorts of other things at the time.'" There was no playbook, because the category didn't exist yet. So the company argued from first principles: "It was fun because part of what ends up happening is you say, 'All right, well, what's a bank? Like, what defines a bank? How do I persuade them? I've never talked to a regulator before. All right, let me go figure out how this looks.'" While all this was happening, PayPal was outgrowing its own ability to operate. June Cohen: "Their customer numbers had grown so exponentially that they could not keep up with customer service and they actually just made the decision that that was a fire they weren't going to fight at that moment." That was a decision, not a failure. The company sorted its problems by one test: "There was a whole set of fires at PayPal where if you didn't solve them, value of the company zero, out of business." John Lilly on how that worked in practice: "Here's the one, two, three top priorities. Everything else I'm not going to worry about right now because if I get these three things right, everything else will be okay." The fire that passed the test was eBay: "If eBay had turned us off, if we were no longer to operate on eBay, no initial users, no traction, no network effect, no ability to grow." And eBay had every incentive to do exactly that. John Lilly: "eBay had its own payment system that was competing with PayPal. PayPal was winning. And so I think those got very complicated and eBay very much didn't want to have to buy PayPal and eventually they felt like they had to." That's the ending. PayPal survived on someone else's platform long enough to become the thing that platform had no choice but to acquire. A reporter at the time: "We know these guys very well obviously because so much of their business is in fact on eBay. The synergies of putting these two companies together were incredibly outstanding and it just seemed like the right time to get this deal done." PayPal didn't win by solving its problems. It won by correctly ranking them and letting the rest burn.

  $GME GameStop’s preliminary Q2 FY2026 numbers are out: 1) So revenue looks ugly at first glance, down roughly 18–20% YoY. But GameStop specifically attributes that to the prior year Nintendo Switch 2 launch, planned store closures, and divesting its French operations. 2) The much more interesting number is operating income. They’re expecting $150–170M versus $66.4M last year, meaning operating profit has more than doubled despite materially lower revenue. 3) There’s an important caveat with that $290/310M net income, though. It isn’t all coming from GameStop’s underlying retail business. GameStop says Q2 includes approximately: +$238M net gains related to its eBay derivative/equity investment −$75M loss on digital assets and related receivables. So we shouldn’t look at $300M net income and conclude the core business suddenly generated $300M. 4) And that huge decline from $8.694B → $5.06B cash/securities isn’t simply GameStop burning $3.6B. A major reason is that GameStop converted its eBay derivative exposure into direct eBay equity, which moves those assets out of the cash/cash-equivalents/marketable-securities bucket shown here. 5) The most important number here is the operating income of $150–170M, on only $780–800M revenue. At the midpoint, that’s roughly: $160M / $790M = 20.3% operating margin. Versus: $66.4M / $972.2M = 6.8% last year. That’s a massive margin expansion. That operating income jump is arguably the strongest part of these prelims. Full Q2 results are currently scheduled for September 8. *TLDR: Revenue ↓ -19% Operating income ↑ +141% Net income ↑ +78% Operating margin 6.8% → 20%

  @boogiex632 @eBay @CardPurchaser And absolutely not. See this is what happens when you assume. Guy low balled over $100 on a Caleb slab. It was so ridiculous I thought he was a seller trying to offload inventory and I accepted. I immediately realized the error and refunded.

  Paul Branham (@BoilerPaulie) reported 27 minutes ago

  Another surprise preliminary earnings announcement from $GME today premarket. I like these. The highlights: - sales down just under 20% Y/Y due to last year including the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, planned store closures, and divestiture of operations in France - operating income up over 125% Y/Y due to @ryancohen’s relentless pursuit of efficiency - net income up ~75%, aided by a large equity stake in eBay and partially offset by a mark to market loss in digital assets and receivables - cash & marketable securities down 41.7% mainly from conversion of derivative position in eBay to equity stake Official ER drop expected on September 8. They also had a separate announcement, probably bigger news for the underlying security price, that the VWAP reference period for the convertible note exchange is terminated because they are issuing cash in lieu of shares for a portion of the agreed upon debt being retired. - $358.4M in cash spent - 55.5M shares of common stock issued - approximately $1.4B of convertible debt retired, or 1/3 of the total - $2.8B in convertible debt remains, $1.1B from the Project Rocket indenture (2030) and $1.7B from the Project Wee indenture (2032) - “GameStop expects that participating noteholders may purchase or sell shares of Common Stock or enter into or unwind derivative transactions to adjust their positions, including purchases of Common Stock to close out short positions. These activities could increase or decrease the market price of the Common Stock or the Exchange Notes, and the effect may be material.” Following some volatility on the announcements, GameStop trading up about 4% premarket. 4h chart shown here.

  Not sure who needs to hear this but you can spend $100,000+ a month just using Amazon as your source of inventory. You can do this at 40%+ ROI. You can beat section 3s and account health problems. You can sell your inventory on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Whatnot, TikTok, or locally. If you’re an Amazon seller you can also get a complete P&L, cash flow analytics, ungating support, reimbursements, product monitoring, replen dashboards, FBM tracking, order tracking, and more. For free, then $3 a day. You can be as weird as me and do it all from your phone if you’d like. We are building the most complete software package publicly available. Taking no profits out. Doubling down on team and partnerships.

  Card Throne (@cardthrone) reported 28 minutes ago

  I run Card Throne with a handful of Grok Bots. Each one owns a job. They don't all sit in one chat answering random questions. Scout does sourcing. Japanese inventory, carts, what to buy next. Grading plays and margins off my actual fees and costs. It never checks out. I still have to say purchase. Build is engineering. It only works on Card Throne Room, our seller tool. Scan a stack of cards, list to eBay, inventory management. When it's real code, it summons a cloud agent with pstack /poteto-mode. Throne runs the storefronts. Brings me the issues that actually have to move that day. Ledger does the books. Payouts, fees, receipts, the monthly P&L. Sentry monitors for any Card Throne Room bugs and pings Build if something needs fixed. Chief sits on top so I'm not pinging six bots to find out whose job a thing is. I still make the final calls.

  @CoCCollectibles Yeah. Still nice though. Don't feel bad. I owned THE Brady card for a minute in 2004. Got it for $400 from Ebay back when the photos were usually terrible. Seller said it was NM, but I couldn't tell from the pics. I trusted him. It wasn't NM, so I sold it at a loss.

  Interest income and eBay gains don’t create operating income. Sales down ~19%. Operating income up ~141% at midpoint. You can criticize the dilution all you want. Pretending there hasn’t been an operating turnaround is getting pretty hard though. $GME

  GameStop just amended the convertible-note exchange. They were going to pay the whole $1.4B in stock, using a 35-day average price. Today they cut that short. Noteholders now get about 55.5 million GME shares and about $358 million in cash. That’s 55.5 million new shares going to the funds that held the 2030 and 2032 notes - not a public offering. They also dropped preliminary Q2 numbers in the same filing: 👉 sales down versus last year’s Switch 2 quarter 👉 operating profit up 👉 cash now in the $5.05–5.07B range after they converted the eBay position into about 43.4 million actual eBay shares September 3rd is the date to watch. That’s when this is slated to close. 👀 cc: @gamestop @ryancohen @TheRoaringKitty $GME

  FonsieTrader (@FonsieTrader) reported 45 minutes ago

  The print and the daily just shook hands. $GME is $18.72, +4.8%. The August dump from $22 landed on $18. Today it reclaimed the 20-day. First resistance is the shelf they just lost — $21.70–$22. The old green line up at ~$25.50 is a different conversation. That bounce is not a squeeze. Short float is 13%. Cap is $8.4 billion. The letter this morning is the real story. Sales $780–$800 million, down. Operating income $150–$170 million, up. Cash ~$5.06 billion after they turned the eBay derivative into 43.4 million shares worth ~$4.95 billion. Net income is stuffed with a $238 million eBay mark and a $75 million digital-asset hole. Full results September 8. So $18 is only “perfect” if you are buying a tighter store plus a $5 billion eBay box — not if you are buying 2021. The level that kills the bounce is a loss of $18. The level that makes it a trade is a hold above $22. Retailer, holdco, or dead-cat — which one is $18.72? $GME $EBAY Not investment advice.

  @DisTrackers I mean it’s pretty much a direct from Thrilljoy issue with the way they break up cases. It’s easier to get cases as retail but stock here is awful at best. At this point chases are becoming less and less valuable, generally cheaper to just buy them off eBay.

  josh (@heyitspixel69) reported 53 minutes ago

  People really need to look at where $GME's profitability is actually coming from. The core retail business isn't funding any of these investments because store revenue keeps dropping year after year. ​The cash pile being parked in Treasury bonds and eBay stock came directly from diluting shareholders and issuing convertible debt. They are basically collecting interest on capital raised by printing new stock while closing down physical locations. ​When your net income depends on yield from diluted money while total retail sales keep collapsing, you aren't seeing a business turnaround. You are just watching a retail chain slowly convert itself into a passive investment fund. I've been saying that for more than 2 years now.

  Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.
