  @HardwareSteam I seriously hope there isnt another lottery. There are 1000+ Machines sold on eBay. The lottery was a terrible idea.

  @GergelyOrosz Counterpoint from the eng side: the doc that doesn't get read is usually the one written to cover the author, not to make a decision. The design docs that survived at eBay were one screen, the decision, the two options we rejected, and why. When the reader can't find the decision in 20 seconds they stop. That's a writing problem more than an attention problem.

  @orcbilly @eBay @CardPurchaser Saw this happening the second I saw they started using clear tape. They should do what I do for PWE/ESE and double penny sleeve the card. One thin upside down and one thick. The card is then trapped.

  Mid-way through last year, somebody won an auction for a stapler from $GME that was listed on eBay, and it made national news. There was a charity component to that auction and a further donation from the winner, that was super cool and made the whole thing super wholesome. I believe it was the first official listing from GameStop's then-new eBay account, which is cool to think about in retrospect. But then, that person and his team, almost immediately, started using this recognition and reach to promote something called GameStop on Ethereum, a shitcoin that has absolutely nothing to do with GameStop. A bunch of influencers from the community helped him, and he even had big names with 1M+ followers talking about how "cool" it was that this guy was buying up this shitcoin that is backed by absolutely nothing, because it had limited supply. A lot of poeple bought in, both to the shitcoin and the hype. They used GameStop's nationwide and social-wide recognition to promote their agenda of buying this shitcoin. I raised alarm bells and even messaged the person directly, as well as some of his friends and associates saying how wrong it was that they were using the GameStop cash tag to promote this crap without clarifying that it had nothing to do with GameStop and it was a really bad look, not just for the person doing this, but for GameStop as well to be associated with this shitcoin. That is already a wide-ranging problems on many crypto platforms, and actions like this from people that know better makes this problem worse. They even had a physical event that they claimed was GameStop sponsored at first, but then GameStop had them remove their logo and any mentions of official sponsorship from GameStop from their event page. Well, a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe in this case a picture is worth millions of dollars. Not cool. I have all of that person and his teams shenanigans blocked, but please beware of crypto scams associating themselves with GameStop. One thing I hope that comes from the Clarity act is more enforcement, and some harsh criminal repercussions for defrauding the general public. If they make an example of a few, everyone else will fall in line and take their scams elsewhere.

  @TheAlexMarco @ToyNewsInterna1 There’s one on eBay, no helmet or the right accessories for $20+ 6.50 shipping right. If you need a shield that’s not a bad quick fix.

  DRS’d shareholders of $GME owned about 25% of the company in 2022. They now own about 11% of diluted shares outstanding. If the eBay acquisition goes through, that is likely down to 3-4%. @ryancohen is stealing the company from the working class American owners that saved it.

  @2600Hz_ Time is the best. I used to buy it on eBay used then send it to the factory if there were any blemishes. They would fix or replace for free.

  @BosCardHunter no, it’s not you guys are just trying to gain the system and he outsmarted you. Why ******** would you wait to buy something you couldn’t afford and is it ironic that the game is a few days away why do you think everyone is dumb? I understand if you’re not taking these actions and you’re might need a 15 to pay something here in here but obviously this is something that goes on is not knew to this. But I hear your problem and I’m working on a solution to fix it. I see that the Car community is really strong, but I don’t have access to the tools. Other enthusiast might have to facilitate their Hobby. I agree with both sides on this one. the system is corrupted and is all because eBay is enabling poorly ran operations team is enabling this. this could be easily addressed but a few lines of code and some revisions to the terms or services. I taken that route. It’s too much of a headache so we’re just enable a layer for enthusiast on top of the platform either through API or agents.

  @XellTweets That's the problem. Casual players want to use casual decks and have fun, not play against the same 2 tier 0 decks over and over because someone reallllyyyy wants to resell a shiny card on ebay to someone who cant afford it. Like.... it sucks.

  The Really Bad Golfer (@therlybadglfer) reported 31 minutes ago

  @HeyJSay @OffDaHook35 ITs easier to consider it this way: there are 5 main versions - Base corrected, **** Face, Black Box, White scribble, and black scribble. Then, there is short cut and long cut for each. Then, depending on your level of self hatred there are the 7 variants to the black scribbles and black boxes. Then, if you accidentally see one on ebay or a card show and get sent down the path of insanity, there are the 4 variants of the white circle. Each of the scribble variants also have long and short cuts. So, there are at least 48 versions, and that is if we ignore the double die strikes all together 🤯🤯🤯

  Thanks for all the info Liz. $15-20B of the total $80B GMV is absolutely massive. I’m not recommending any major changes or updates that would turn off existing users, but rather slight modernization to boost overall traffic (I mentioned SEO, as a car guy, whenever I search for cars and parts which is quite often lol, I never see eBay links). And also perhaps future new features, like being able to get financing right on the website through an API with a lender partner, etc. That’s funny they tried innovating through acquisition like typical corporate shills and like the rest of their acquisitions, which seems to be the only approach they know for any stagnation or problems. We really need a hardcore operator in there that thinks out of the box and is willing to look at things without spending the most shareholder capital for the least return. eBay needs to stop acting like a venture capital firm, it’s disgusting the amounts they have paid and continue to pay (Depop) for these acquisitions.

  @ValueAddedRS @foxenflask @ryancohen A slide. Holy Christmas. Why don’t they invest in making ebay motors’ Fitment Program actually differentiate between make/model options instead of assuming an unchanged base model item was universally installed? So many buyer problems and seller headaches resulting.

  $GME WHAT IF?! 🔥🚀💎 What if they hit us with a one-for-four reverse split RIGHT NOW? 🃏 REVERSE UNO CARD 🃏 21.60 → 86.40 💥 Those ~59M warrants at a $32 strike (expiring Oct 30, 2026). At $21.60 they’re OTM. At $86.40 they go deep ITM and get exercised. ≈ $1.89 billion cash lands on the balance sheet. Zero interest. Zero lenders. Zero covenants. GME already owns 43.39 million $eBay shares. They don’t pay themselves for those. Remaining shares that still need to be acquired: 444M − 43.39M = 400.61M Total value of those remaining shares at $125: $50.076 billion → Cash half: $25.038 billion → Stock half: $25.038 billion At the current ~$21.60 price, that stock half would require issuing roughly 1.16 billion new GME shares (more than double the current share count). A reverse split that takes the stock to $86.40 cuts the number of shares needed by 75% — down to ~290 million shares for the same $25B in stock value. Current funding picture: • Estimated liquid after the big buys: ~$4.05B • TD letter: ~$20B • Total without warrants: $24.05B • Shortfall on the cash half: ~$0.99B The warrants bring in $1.89B → gap closed with ~$0.90B headroom left. ✅ GME doesn’t have to fund the 43.39M shares it already owns. The warrants aren’t just dry powder, they’re the piece that makes the cash half of the remaining shares actually fundable. 🔥 Who else is ready for this timeline?! 👀 #GME #GameStop #EBAY @ryancohen

  As a former Leatherman guy, I am very sad to see this whole Garage thing. The whole notion of "limited run" is an anathema to the actual concept of tools. A tool is an item to be used. It exists because it does a job, and if you are actually doing that job and relying on a tool, having it be some precious totschki that you cannot replace is a form of torture. Some tools are precious by their nature. The job they do requires certain materials, certain features that are hard to manufacturer, levels of precision that require great care, etc. Combined with the fact that these are often low-demand specialty items, they are treated with great care. My metrology standards are like this; a square piece of granite held to under 1µm of error across all dimensions is an expensive and delicate instrument that is painful to replace! I don't whip it out to check every part, and it lives in a custom foam Pelican case it gets removed from only 5-6 times a year. It is an intrinsically valuable and precious object. The Garage schtick, and all the various "special edition" tools/knives/edc gear is synthetic preciousness. By hyping up sprint runs, tool makers juice the numbers and churn a quick extra buck either directly or through the power of a little marketing hype. But every time they do this, they remove the seriousness from their work! They lose focus on quality, or effective design/engineering for the mission, they damage the essence of the core transition between the customer and the maker; that the maker is here to build things to make your life quantifiably better through solving problems you have. When I was at Leatherman many years ago, I had a meeting with the product design team. Sort of at the end as we were BS-ing around, I got very serious for a minute and said "I know everything is getting re-thought, but for the love of the gods... keep the Crunch and if you touch it, be super careful about actually making it better." We talked about the Crunch for about 20 minutes. On Leatherman's own factory floor, I would say the majority of workers carried a Crunch. Alas, under 10 years later... The Crunch is gone. It went out in a blaze of Garage glory; one "final" run of old-stock, retooled with different finishes and moved out the door at 2x the price. Standard Crunches are on eBay for $350 in mint condition. The Garage "Captain Crunch" is trading at $700. That means I can no longer use my Crunch. I'm not carrying around a $500 tool in my pocket and actually using it as intended. By playing dumb demand *** *** games, Leatherman has effectively made every Crunch in existence a precious commodity well under the natural market demand - if they just went out of production because nobody was buying them, they would be $50 to find a used replacement and I could carry on Crunching things without having to treat the one I own as a precious commodity to be fretted over and worried about. This is the essence of tool makers going from a focus on improving the lives of everyday users into these bullshit "lifestyle" brands, and I find it very sad that we are losing things we won't understand the value of until they are gone and sold on eBay for 10x the price. Many such cases.

  A stupid simple way to start a SaaS: Few years ago (at a conference), people asked me how I manage my own business. I told them I have software that automatically runs 100 eBay accounts for me. They wondered and asked how they could use it for their own businesses too. I told them, “It's not open to the public, but let's stay in touch.” I got their phone numbers. Added them to my WhatsApp. Saved them as a list: eBay 1, eBay 2, eBay 3. I started to build the software for them. I asked them: if I release it, would you use it? They said yes. We went public with a better version for a few weeks for free, and then straight away started charging. So if you're starting now: 1. Build a tool that solves your own problem. 2. Talk to people with the same problem. 3. Let them use your solution for free. 5. Build what they ask for. 6. Charge. You already know your first step. Go do that one.
