    @Patrick21611 Just ******* sell it if youre mad about it. They are selling brand new for $100+ on eBay and etc. Just sell it for the price u paid. Easy problem to get rid of.

    @foxenflask @heydomoshi Yeah, it can definitely be manipulated exactly like that by less than honest actors. In most cases, you should still have eBay Moneyback Guarantee coverage even without authentication. So if there is an issue once you receive it, you still have options. But like you point it, it's just a bad buyer experience that is likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth even if everything turns out fine.

    Closed beta keys hitting eBay for $300 is one of those moments where the industry accidentally says the quiet part out loud. We turned testing into a resale market. At the same time, Nexon is banning MapleStory cheaters for manipulating boss clears, which is correct. But it’s the same trust problem wearing two outfits. One side breaks the game. The other breaks access. If your test pool is tight enough that people can flip entry for rent money, that isn’t just hype. That’s scarcity doing what scarcity does: rewarding the worst incentives in the room. Healthy anticipation looks like players wanting in. This looks like a black market wrapped around QA. Cheaters make wins feel fake. Scalped test access makes the whole "closed test" feel fake too. Different violation, same message to regular players: fairness is for whoever got there last.

    @VKs_Host I ebay vintage memorabilia & have the option of using an AI description but it can't possibly know what it needs to about a unique physical object that has no exact copy. That's my problem with AI & I cant imagine a time when it can ever know what it needs to know about each item

    Imagine looking back a year from now and watching other people make thousands of dollars every month from what today seems like “just another AI idea.” The worst part won’t be that they started. The worst part will be realizing you saw the opportunity first - and did nothing. Why spend hours on repetitive work when you can build an AI system that works faster than any human? Here’s the blueprint. Google Omni powered by the Gemini Live API instantly recognizes products through your smartphone camera. The eBay Browse API analyzes active listings, competitors, pricing, and demand. Claude Opus generates high-quality, SEO-optimized product descriptions while minimizing the risk of factual errors. The result? Simply point your camera at an item in a thrift store, garage sale, or discount outlet, and within seconds you’ll have a complete listing with a title, description, keywords, and an estimated market price. What used to take hours now happens almost instantly. The monetization opportunities are obvious. The first option is to launch a Discord bot for resellers and sell access through Whop for $50 per month. Just 150 subscribers would generate around $7,500 in monthly recurring revenue. The second option is to use the system for your own resale business. Find products with profit margins starting at $50 and scale the process to approximately $2,500 in monthly profit, depending on deal volume, inventory access, and operating costs. This isn’t just automation anymore. It’s an AI agent that helps you discover opportunities, analyze the market, and reduce the time between finding a product and publishing a listing to just seconds. While most people are still reading about AI, others are already building businesses with it. The only question is: which group do you want to be part of

    As written about months ago. $ETSY continuing to prop the stock up thru massive buybacks while revenue and net income continue to be pressured. Without paying down debt and shrinking margins, FCF cannot continue to be used to buy down share count. Employee compensation of shares is also excessively high for a company this size, over 10 million shares available for compensation. This cycle will break downward. Price target: $45/Share #etsy #ebay @CitronResearch

    @modernheroestv They're marked UP on Ebay from original price?? Cheeky bastards. I've been through this process with other plastic car parts, you might be lucky and find something on aliexpress, I've got some parts from there in the past, suspiciously high quality, like they're factory originals... But tracking them down on there is difficult, pics and text are questionable, and the search may as well not be there at all. But cheap. However if you only want a couple, sound like dealer it is. I agree, it's annoying.

    @HarmeetKDhillon I stopped shopping at Amazon when they took down Parler. I can’t believe how much money I save. My moisturizer on Amazon is $75. I just spent $30 for it on EBay. You think that you’re saving money on amazon but you’re not. You’re also paying a yearly shipping fee.

  • DrInsensitive

    @fasc1nate You can have a forever bulb too; just run any incandescent bulb at 1/10 it's rated power, like this bulb. The downside is you will pay much more for lighting, since efficiency goes way down when the blackbody radiation peak drops below the visible range. In simpler terms, when you run the bulb cool, paradoxically a larger fraction of its energy goes to produce heat rather than light. Before LEDs, this was considered a good trade for street light bulbs, since they are expensive to replace and a burned out bulb could cause an accident. You can probably still buy an old 20,000-hour streetlight incandescent bulb on eBay, but you won't want to, because it costs too much to run.

    @AKABrewersBeat Police? Yes! Lawyer? Yes! eBay? Yes! PSA should have insurance for this? This is a financial issue. Financial institutions like Vanguard and Fidelity have operational procedures in place. A client cannot change the address or bank account and then withdraw equity (in this case your cards) without the institution being able to confirm that the actual client (you!) Is the one making the change. Those institutions spend a lot of money to prevent fraud. You should expect the same from PSA. Who can say that someone working at PSA did not do this? Like Lucy, PSA has a lot of 'splaining to do.

    @Gabriel1298125 @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser They can always make claims, but it’s easier to prove saying it was shipped with a tracking number. At that point it’s comes down to eBay. But if it’s given by image and never sent then the seller has 0 recourse

    A copy of Seth Klarman's book sells for $1,200 on Amazon and $2,000 on eBay. It has been out of print for over three decades and has reportedly been stolen from most libraries that ever owned it. A full recording of him explaining the exact same philosophy, in his own words, has sat free on YouTube since 2009. As of the last public count, it had roughly 4,400 views. Klarman almost never speaks publicly. He runs The Baupost Group, one of the most respected hedge funds in the world, and has spent decades declining interviews, avoiding cameras, and letting his fund's results speak for him. On March 17, 2009, in the middle of the financial crisis, he made an exception. He dialed into a small value investing class at the Richard Ivey School of Business in Ontario and talked for over an hour. Harvard MBA, 1982, Baker Scholar. Cornell, economics, magna *** laude. Decades running a fund that has reportedly compounded at over 20% annualized. His whole approach comes down to one habit almost nobody actually practices: he asks what he can lose before he asks what he can make. Absolute returns over relative returns. No borrowed money to juice the position. "We never had margin debt in the history of the firm." He sells before the position is perfect, not after, because waiting for the last dollar is how people give the whole trade back. Everyone chasing relative performance against a benchmark is playing a different game than Klarman is. He was never trying to beat the index. He was trying to never lose the client's money in the first place. The book costs $1,200 if you can even find one. The talk that says the same thing has been sitting there, free, for over fifteen years. Nobody hid this. Nobody made you pay for it.

    $GME I told you in the video you didn’t want to flounder below key support down here, and so far, that’s exactly what’s happening. Now your best bet is what I talked about holding this range then news breaks, maybe EBay, and creates an island bottom. The longer it stays down here, the more likely it is to continue to drop. I will say this, if you’re a long term $GME bull, and not some fantasyland squeeze fanboy, the risk to reward adding GME between 14-19 is there. I’ve still got my shares from $12, and honestly I have no idea why.

    @YellowFlashGuy Just watched. Great video. II agree, despite this, it's such a non-issue for most gamers that they won't even care. The collector's edition disappeared within a day and is still going for 2X on eBay. They're still inching in things along the slippery slope.
