  THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Mark_Rathgeber There are a lot of used SAS <4TB HDDs on EBay going anywhere between £3-£5 per TB. I bought ~30 of them myself & had 1 DOA (not worth returning tbh). Most been going 24/7 for past 3-4 months without any issues even though most had almost 50K power on hours at time of purchase

  @LilMapleTree00 @CardPurchaser Cool. Off ebay $250, on ebay I can go down a bit, but fees are a killer. Plus, I'm not in a hurry to sell but want to buy an auto of his.

  @TrevorWilliamsX @CardPurchaser @eBay No. It’s too late. I missed the 30 day window. The seller initially told me he had an issue with the address. The package wasn’t mailed because he “mid-labeled” the address. I was trusting that I was working with fair minded person, lol.

  Will the Blockbuster IPO of SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI Call the Top for Financial Markets? There’s a theory going around that the dot-com crash was largely triggered by a massive wave of IPOs sucking the liquidity out of the market. This has sparked a hypothesis that the upcoming 2026 public debuts of three AI and tech titans could completely wreck the US stock market. Let’s weigh the data and break down the bull vs. bear case: The five largest IPO of the dot-com era coincided with a historic Nasdaq rally, which skyrocketed from 500 to 4,750 points between March 1995 and March 2000. Here is how much cash they actually raised: Netscape (Aug 1995): $140M Yahoo (Apr 1996): $33.8M Amazon (May 1997): $54M eBay (Sep 1998): $63M TheGlobe. com (Nov 1998): $27.9M For context, World Bank data shows total US stock market capitalization during that same period looked like this: 1995: ~$6.86T 1996: ~$8.48T 1997: ~$11.31T 1998: ~$13.45T 1999: ~$16.64T Combined, all five of these iconic IPOs raised a mere ~0.0032% of the total market cap between 1995 and 1998. Historians actually attribute the dot-com crash to insider lock-up expirations. The real bleeding started 6 to 12 months after the IPO peak, when founders and early investors finally flooded the market with shares. This provides a solid counterargument to the idea that SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI will trigger an immediate financial tsunami and collapse the markets on day one. Even if the theory holds, we would likely have a 6-to-12-month grace period post-IPO, simply because Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk's inner circle will be legally restricted from dumping their shares onto the open market right away. On the flip side, the bear case is tough to ignore: The collective capital SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI are looking to siphon from the market is estimated at a staggering $220B minimum (with each aiming for roughly $75B targets). Google, reading the room, has already moved to front-run the competition before the market liquidity completely dries up, quietly executing an equity raise to sell off another $85B of their own stock. With the current 2026 US market cap sitting at around $68T (according to the Wilshire 5000), that $220B haul represents roughly 0.331% of the entire US stock market. Now, this is where things get interesting: These 3 upcoming IPOs are looking to drain 104 times more liquidity from the system than the most iconic IPOs of 1995 - 1998 combined. And the harsh economic reality is that this $220B - plus Google's $85B - has to come from somewhere. Investors will have to liquidate existing assets to fund these mega-allocations. Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see whether this massive capital reshuffle triggers a market correction immediately following the IPOs, or if the real reckoning hits 6 to 12 months down the road.

  @RDKLInc That's right. I tried to make a back up, but the speed was slowing down to zero. Then I checked them with h2testw and they were fake. vkehxgu and @eBay wash their hands

  @lizzkelly7 That used to and might still happen a lot on ebay, people trying to sell their cocktail dress and prom dresses etc. Someone buys it, wears it and then returns it and claims it didn’t fit. Some were returned complete with wine stains, food stains etc. It was a very big problem and ebay always tended to side with the buyer. I don’t know if it’s still the same.

  @tercio_miranda unfortunately, the card was sold on eBay with bulging capacitors and the board is so dense that I couldn’t recap it without a de soldering station. And the fan was blown. The listing said that it was tested and in perfect condition, but the pics were a little blurry so you couldn’t tell that the capacitors were blown. And when I got out the fan didn't work. I had to send it out to get it recapped and chase down a PCI express xfx 7800 with the same fan because those are still cheap. The annoying part is that right after I bought this another person listed an identical card for maybe four or five times as much and since that point everyone I’ve seen trying to sell one in better condition would not accept an offer closer to what I paid for mine. But since I had to have this specific one to match my hair and the Nvidia stacker 830, I’ve just been determined to figure out a way to get it working. I saw a new in box agp 6800 xt on Facebook marketplace for $25 and while I was on the way, it got sold out from under me driving from the valley to in town.

  @bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx Recently ordered an item off Ebay and did not receive it. I sent a note to the seller of the delivery problem and instead of writing "we'll issue a refund after 3 days," they wrote "We will file a complaint with the third party delivery service on your behalf." That's bold.

  The harassment began after an article was published in ECommerceBytes about eBay's litigation against Amazon. Wenig texted a communications executive "If you are ever going to take her down... now is the time." A subsequent cyberstalking and harassment campaign against the newsletter's authors led to criminal convictions against seven members of eBay's global security team. @GM

  @Marioucche @eBay @Halo I agree it’s scummy. But it doesn’t break the Ebay rules and is also legal. Ebay requires a 40 day window to ship. Which barely fits the timeline with these. I respect it. But also surprised ebay is even taking these down to begin with.

  @CultureCrave The movie might not have done well at the box office, but we do get some cool promotional materials. Hopefully, somebody will save theirs and we’ll get a second shot on eBay to buy one down the road.

  A broken laser pointer. On Labor Day weekend in 1995, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar launched the site (originally called AuctionWeb) from his living room as a personal project. He listed his own broken laser pointer, which he had bought for about $30 but stopped working after a couple of weeks, to test the platform. He was upfront in the listing that it didn’t work, even with new batteries. It sold for $14.83 to a buyer named Mark Fraser (a collector of broken laser pointers, according to the legend). The sale happened shortly after the site went live on September 3, 1995. This quirky first transaction is often cited as the perfect symbol for eBay: turning something worthless into value through online auctions. Does anyone still use eBay?

  @1horsetown_IA Yeah, this is very true. You can get 1900s, 1910s sets of silver plate on ebay pretty reasonable still - I assume they aren't worth trying to melt down for so little actual silver.

  @lachlanscards Does just starting a eBay account mean you’re poor? Or a kid? I get what you’re saying but I’ve sold to many (0) accounts and never an issue. People love Ohtani. I could easily see someone doing this. Plus that card is so expensive and doesn’t look shilled at all

  @Deathman1000 My friend @Marioucche and I were reporting each of those scalpers on eBay last night. He let me know that many of the auctions he reported, were taken down. I haven’t yet checked my email this morning p, to see what ones I reported were taken down. This is about the only way we can fight the scalpers on eBay. Go check out his post to see how to do this through the eBay app.
