  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  Agree. I’ve had issues with the eBay guaranteed shipping as well, turns out that the correct process is to refund immediately after the buyer says they didn’t get it and file a claim with a separate insurance company. If you don’t do eBay shipping labels you are out of luck even more. For me the authentication process for higher end cards and orderly process are worth the fees and frustration. Maybe I can find better luck on X but I’ve had a lot of bad/shady experiences off eBay. Unfortunately eBay has little incentive to help sellers either . Overall agree eBay should have better systems in place for these types of things. Feedback as well. Currently dealing with a negative feedback claiming failure to disclose holo scratches-listing has 14 close ups lol. I think it’s choose your pain unfortunately and I don’t see eBay doing anything more for sellers any time soon.

  oh great, latam is in trouble now if these groups start targeting it. The security is laughably bad and so much so that even gov web sites in places like Mexico and Brazil do absurd things sometimes like disabling right click in the browser while also running 5+ year out of date wordpress based apps. I live in Argentina currently and find this a bit disturbing since mercado libre and mercado pago are tightly linked like how ebay and paypal used to be. Mercado pago getting pwned could turn into a major dumpster fire. I see this thing growing in latam in general because the comical security also extends to basically all mobile apps like rapi and pedidosYa(like uber eats) as just two almost obvious examples that almost certainly will get pwned eventually.

  @aleczanderjk @CardPurchaser If they sent you back a different card than the one listed, on the return you can select that there is a issue with the return. Also file a report on the buyer. Once you are done with all that contact ebay customer support, request a phone call, let them know the issue.

  Day 149 Total sales: $632.42 Buy cost (COG): $119.46 eBay earnings: $457.54 Net profit: $338.08 ROI: 283% 8 item day. One thing that keeps surprising me is how often the "boring" items outperform the ones people get excited about. A control board. A car part. A toner cartridge. An electronic. None of them are flashy, but they're exactly what someone was searching for today. That's one reason I enjoy reselling so much. You don't need to chase trends. You need to solve problems. If you consistently buy useful items at the right price, buyers eventually find you. The more quality inventory you have listed, the more opportunities you create for sales every day. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  @sunnyhilltrader @CardPurchaser I just recently had my first issue with a card. I shipped it. You could see that. Then it just sat in PA. The buyer reached out, I contacted eBay, and I basically gave them verbatim of what eBay told me. They got the refund, I was protected because it was shipped. They still gave positive feedback when the card did need up coming. The convo between the buyer was simple and easy not arguement or anything.

  Jamshed V Rajan (@ouchmytoe) reported 29 minutes ago

  Much before folks in the Internet space discussed ‘shared economy’ over drinks, and much before it was cool to use products such as Airbnb, Uber, Couchsurfing, eBay, etc.) there were ‘hand-me-downs’. This is the story of how the first version of the ‘shared economy’ played out in my life. I think it all started when I was growing up too fast for the comfort of my parents. Before I tell you how my growing up troubled my parents, let me tell you how I interpreted my growth. For a long time, I didn’t realise that I was growing up. I thought my clothes were getting smaller. That’s why I kept my red and white shirt (one that I proudly wore when I was four years old) for two years, thinking someday it would shrink enough to fit my small brown teddy bear (yet another hand-me-down). Alas, it never did. Since I was growing up fast, my parents bought clothes for me only on Diwali and on my birthday, on April 26. They ensured at least one well-fitting pair every six months. Due to this strategy, any given day, I owned two sets of clothes – one that was a perfect fit and another that I couldn’t go out in. ---The hand-me-downs begin--- When I was five years old, I came to know that I had older cousins staying in different parts of Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Eventually, we started meeting during summer vacations. And I started getting the hand-me-downs. My cousins would pack their old clothes and toys in an airbag (that’s what our parents called their travel bags) and pass them on to me. My parents wouldn’t let me open the bag in front of my cousins, fearing I would immediately get into a war dance and embarrass them. Needless to say, that night I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I would stay awake wondering what kind of clothes were inside the bag, what toys were waiting to be picked up, what coloured shoes were available to be worn. Thanks to my cousins, I used to have a choice while going outside or staying at home and playing with my toys. With time, I also started sharing my clothes and toys with younger cousins. Sharing felt good because I knew exactly how I had felt when I used to get the treasure trove. ---Uncles start chipping in--- When I grew up and became a teenager, I started getting hand-me-downs from my uncles. Now, my uncles would share their shirts and trousers with me. Sometimes, it would be part of the yearly ritual, and on other occasions, it would be a specific request. Like the instance when I had to participate in a debating contest at the LOSA competition (conducted by Lakshmi Old School Association every year) at Madurai, and needed a good pair of trousers to go with my black shirt. “Saravana mama, I need help.” I approached my uncle. I had been eyeing his stonewash jeans for some time now. He had recently finished his BSc Forestry from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, and was looking for a job. “Tell me, Rajan,” he came close. “Will you be wearing your stonewash jeans tomorrow?” I asked. “Which one are you talking about? And why?” “The white stonewash with black dots? The one that has ‘Love is sweet poison’ written on both sides of the trousers?” Mind you, it was 1991, and we were talking about a stonewash of a college grad, so ‘Love is sweet poison’ can be excused. “But why do you need it? I wore it yesterday, and it is *****.” “I am participating in a debating contest tomorrow and will be on stage. I need a good pair of trousers to go with my black shirt.” That’s all my uncle needed to hear. He asked me to come by in the evening and pick it up. When I went to his house at 7 pm, he was ironing it for me. I didn’t win the debating contest, but the pride with which I stood on the stage that day was enough - I had already won. I never returned the stonewash, and he didn’t ask for it either. ---I get a hand-me-down moped--- When I joined college, I asked my father for a TVS Champ. Back in the mid-90s, if you were a cool dude in a Tamil Nadu college, you rode a TVS Champ. If you were filthy rich, you had a Hero Honda Splendor…but lets not jump ahead of us. Since my parents couldn’t afford a TVS Champ, they resorted to their tried and tested trick. “Why don’t you try the public bus for the first year, and if you score well, you get a TVS Champ?” Since I didn’t have an option, I agreed. Next year, when my parents still couldn’t afford a TVS Champ for me, I was disappointed. One of my uncles stepped in. “I heard you are pretty upset with your parents over a TVS Champ?” He asked. “Yes, uncle. They promised to get it for me this year. I know that it costs a bit, but they shouldn’t have given me the hope. Right?” It was my teenage angst. “I am planning to buy a Hero Honda Splendour. Why don’t you use my TVS 50? It may not be what you want, but it still is something,” he said. “Sure, uncle. So how much do my parents have to pay?” “Let us just agree that you will not ask your parents for petrol money.” He had the patronizing look in his eyes, which I loved. Don’t we all want Godfathers to spring out and help when we need them? TVS Motors had launched India’s first two–seater 50cc moped called TVS 50 in 1980. TVS 50 wasn’t as classy as TVS Champ, but as my uncle said, it was something - it felt as if I had arrived. I rode the 15-year-old moped to college often. Due to a lack of petrol money, the TVS 50 would be parked most of the time, but it felt awesome to have a moped of my own. ---When I almost breached the hand-me-down code--- With time, I finished college and started working. Now, I was earning and still using the same TVS 50. It is surprising how your wants come down when you have to figure them out yourself. I had been working only six months when I got a call at my office landline from a cousin of mine who was still in college. He was point-blank: “I have sports day at college tomorrow, and my sneakers have given up. Can I borrow yours?” In a momentary lapse of judgment, I told him, “How about buying new ones. I only have one.” My cousin didn’t say anything. The phone went dead. It didn’t take me long to figure out that I had made a mistake. I had broken the code of hand-me-downs. If you have joined this club once, you can never refuse. I knew he wouldn’t be rushing to the showroom to buy new sneakers anytime soon. The next day at 7.30 am, I was at his home. He was getting ready for college, and he was holding an Action shoe that had run its course. In my hands, I had the relatively new Lotto sneakers my father had helped me buy from the CSD canteen. As I gave him the sneakers, I said, “Here, take them.” I didn’t display any emotion. I couldn’t afford to display the ‘big brother’ emotion. It was part of the hand-me-down code. At that moment, getting the Lotto sneaker meant the whole world to my cousin. He gave me a big hug, and at that moment, I knew that I had bought his soul with this small gesture. After the event, he called to ask when he could visit to give the shoes back. I knew he needed it more than me, so I told him I was traveling and would collect it later. This give and take went on for some time. Thanks to the growing economy and excellent job opportunities in different cities, the big, almost joint family drifted apart. Or is it that only I drifted apart, and all others are still in touch? Perhaps, I would never know. Unfortunately, today, hand-me-downs are looked down upon. They are only supposed to be for those affected by floods or earthquakes - they aren’t supposed to be for cousins, brothers, and sisters. They aren’t supposed to be for friends and neighbors either. Quite a shame, really. That’s a lot of happiness, bottled down. So much treasure, undiscovered.

  @XCSme @mandla_putu @Pirat_Nation >Geekbench 6: i9-14900K (~3,000–3,100 single / ~19,500–20,500 multi) edges the Ultra 7 270K Plus in single-core while trading blows in multi; the older Ryzen 9 5900X lags notably behind both (~2,500 single / ~13,000–14,000 multi). A typical refurbished dual Xeon Gold (e.g., 2x 6148, 40 cores total) scores lower single-core (~2,000–2,300) but can reach 25,000–35,000+ multi depending on clocks and config. PassMark CPU Mark: i9-14900K leads with ~58,000–59,000, ahead of the Ultra 7 270K Plus (~50,000–55,000 range) and well above the Ryzen 9 5900X (~40,000–42,000). Dual Xeon setups often exceed 70,000–100,000+, excelling in heavily parallel server workloads. Cinebench R23: i9-14900K delivers ~2,100–2,200 single / ~38,000–41,000 multi, outperforming the Ultra 7 270K Plus and significantly beating the Ryzen 9 5900X (~1,600 single / ~22,000–25,000 multi). Dual Xeon configurations shine here with 50,000–80,000+ multi-core potential, making them the strongest for extreme raw multi-threaded tasks despite weaker single-core performance. Popular refurbished dual Xeon workstation models (LGA 3647/Cascade Lake or similar) include Dell Precision T7910/T7920/T7820, Lenovo ThinkStation P910/P920, and HP Z8 G4 equivalents — these often come with dual Xeon Gold/Platinum CPUs, high DDR4 ECC capacity, and workstation-grade build quality. Typical costs for refurbished full systems: $600–$1,500+ (depending on CPU generation, RAM, GPU, and storage); barebones or lightly configured units can start under $500 on eBay/ServerMonkey/PCSP/Dell Outlet. Motherboard + dual CPU combo pricing (refurbished): LGA 3647 dual-socket boards (Supermicro X11, ASUS, Gigabyte C621) run $150–$350; a solid dual Xeon Gold pair (e.g., 2x 20-core models) adds $100–$400, for a total combo often under $600–$800 — excellent value for massive multi-core performance.<

  🚨 THIS DEVELOPER RAN TWO INTEL ARC PRO CARDS TO POOL 48GB OF LOCAL AI COMPUTE WITHOUT A SINGLE LINE OF CUDA 💀 Not Tenstorrent. Not AMD. Intel. And the software stack that used to be a running joke turned into an actual answer. Pause at 0:03. Look inside the workstation. Two dual-slot Intel Arc Pro cards racked side by side, the "intel ARC PRO" label glowing on both. Above them, two Thermalright tower coolers on the CPU. ASRock motherboard. MSI MAG PSU in the bottom bay. Blue accents on the Intel cards match the case. Pause at 0:50. Look at the caption on his own screen. "MY MAIN AI RIG WITH… TINY TINY CORES." He is talking about the Xe architecture — hundreds of small cores designed for parallel workloads from the ground up, not gaming cores retrofitted for tensor math. The build: → 2× Intel Arc Pro B60, 24 GB GDDR6 each → Total pooled VRAM: 48 GB → Cost per card: ~$500–$700 new (5-year warranty) → Full workstation total: ~$2,000–$2,500 including CPU, RAM, PSU, case → Zero CUDA. Zero NVIDIA drivers. The software stack that finally works: → Intel oneAPI as the compute layer → IPEX (Intel Extension for PyTorch) — most models port over without rewrites → vLLM has Intel Arc support baked in → Ollama works out of the box → llama.cpp supports Intel Arc through SYCL What 48 GB of Arc VRAM now runs: → Llama 3.3 70B (Q4_K_M) — fits, ~10–15 tok/s → Qwen3 32B — fits with headroom, 25+ tok/s → DeepSeek-R1 distill 32B — same class → Fine-tuning workloads that used to require a rented H100 The article ranked the used RTX 3090 as best memory-per-dollar in 2026 at 24 GB for ~$600. The Arc Pro path lands 2× that VRAM (48 GB), new, with a real warranty, for about the same total: → 2× used RTX 3090: 48 GB, ~$1,200–$1,600, warranty voided, uses CUDA (which Nvidia may or may not keep supporting on Ampere in 3 years) → 2× new Intel Arc Pro B60: 48 GB, ~$1,000–$1,400, 5-year Intel warranty, oneAPI stack (which Intel absolutely will keep supporting) Same memory. Similar price. Different software risk profile. What this replaces: → Rented H100 hours at $2–$3/hour for fine-tuning → Cloud API bills for private inference → The "wait for used enterprise cards on eBay in 2029" plan → CUDA compatibility breaks every driver update → The assumption that non-NVIDIA hardware is a hobbyist compromise The pattern the article missed: → NVIDIA's moat is not the silicon → NVIDIA's moat is CUDA + a decade of every ML framework being written against it → IPEX + vLLM + Ollama just took that moat down to "annoying but crossable" → Every framework that supports Arc adds another day where a builder does not need CUDA Here's what nobody in the local-AI space is saying out loud: For ten years the answer to "which GPU should I buy?" was "whichever green one you can afford." Intel just made the answer harder — which is exactly what a healthy hardware market looks like. Two Arc Pro cards. 48 GB. New in the box. And PyTorch runs on them. That is the first non-compromise non-NVIDIA path for local AI in a decade. Most people are still bidding on used 3090s. Meanwhile one operator built a warrantied 48 GB workstation without touching a CUDA installer once. Bookmark this before running local AI on non-NVIDIA hardware becomes the default. The race for cheap, warrantied AI just left the green box. Literally.
