  @NNavram Lol Reason I didn't buy em. I'm sure I could talk someone down to mid 200s on eBay.

  @TonyGoesOnline So this price coming down is strictly due to the VWAP period and subject to a per share price floor. So regardless the company has told you that the stock will be compressed within this period, when that goes away, we can steadily approach the 30 ceiling we have struggled to break, and subsequent advancement in pursuit of eBay should send the price higher.

  @KellyCards The comments are insanely split down the middle here. I one thousand percent figured this card was worth wayyyy more than 60 bucks after reading this post lol I get that what the guy did was a little unusual, and certainly not good practice - but genuiely, why wouldnt you at least wait to see how the card showed up before going to ebay support???

  @BillAckman Reselling is a big problem generally, Bill, look at EBay listings of collectible products bought up by bots, leaving consumers empty handed.

  For example , the locket that I sold day before yesterday on here. Very small item under sixteen ounces that way I know it can go first class mail Makes a really big difference Six bucks to california So I listed it for thirty five Best part is X has no fees That makes up for all the shipping problems for real. Because ebay usually gets thirty percent So by the time i'm done paying for shipping and gas to the post office, a little bit of tape, my cardboard is always always always free because I get it everywhere I'll come out with about $25 - $27 On ebay , I would've come out with about $18

  @EggerDC Wrong. Those are not in a sealed box from the seller. Anyone could've tampered with that and what recourse would that person have? They bought of eBay AND Door Dash. That's illegal bud. You can't claim it's from Amazon, but really from the Krogers down the street. 🤡

  @BIGBetts1999 @eBay If you got an email from ebay about an authentication issue, there should be a link to request a call from eBay's customer service team. Anytime I have an issue, I just go back and find the old authentication email, have them call me, then reference the new order # and get a resolution. Works 100% of the time. Good luck!

  @KellyCards You were offered a partial refund and declined, expedited the issue to eBay support for a full refund intentionally, and are more than likely going to pocket the card once it arrives. How is that “doing the right thing” exactly?

  @teh_Gazzy The plastic in those things just breaks down over an unacceptably short time but you can buy replacement caps for the joystick from eBay for under ten bucks and disassembling the 3DS to replace it isn't really that hard.

  BEFORE THE POP (@beforethepop) reported 33 minutes ago

  THE 90s ARE NEXT. The market has spent decades deciding what matters in vintage pop culture. Now it is paying serious money for the cards it has canonised. A 1966 Topps Batman #1 PSA 9 sold for US$131,250 in December. There is no PSA 10. A 1977 Topps Luke Skywalker #1 PSA 10 sold for US$687,500 in May. Seven months earlier, the record was $268,400. These aren't obscure cards being dragged upwards by a hot market. Batman and Star Wars are two of the largest entertainment properties ever created, and collectors have had decades to decide what their early cardboard means. The 50s, 60s and 70s have had their time to become vintage. I think the 90s are next. And the more time I spend digging through the decade, the more obvious the setup looks. The 1990s may have been the greatest decade for character IP ever. You had Mario and Zelda becoming global institutions. Sonic arrived. Pokémon arrived. Toy Story arrived. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and South Park arrived. Final Fantasy VII changed what a videogame could look and feel like. Street Fighter became a cultural phenomenon. The Simpsons went from a new animated show to one of the defining franchises on television. Thirty years later, look at what survived. Mario is bigger than ever. Pokémon is Pokémon. Sonic is selling movie tickets. Zelda is still one of Nintendo's crown jewels. Resident Evil is still releasing major games. Final Fantasy VII is still important enough to support an entire blockbuster remake project. Toy Story is still being watched by children whose parents watched the original. The Simpsons and South Park apparently intend to outlive all of us. That's an extraordinary hit rate. And the cards were made at exactly the right time. The 90s landed just before collecting became industrialised. There was no mature grading economy. No population reports. No breakers opening cases for numbered parallels. No army of collectors immediately sleeving every card of a major character because it might be worth something in thirty years. A lot of this stuff was treated exactly as intended: as kids' stuff. Japanese vending cards came out of machines. Stickers got stuck to things. Magazine inserts were removed or thrown away with the magazine. Foils went into binders. Cards went into pockets, school bags and bedroom drawers. Nobody was carefully preserving a 1995 Toy Story foil because Woody might eventually need a rookie card. Nobody was thinking about the gem rate on a 1996 Bandai Final Fantasy VII prism. Nobody was buying Japanese Zelda cards and calculating future PSA populations. They were just cards. That gives the decade something modern collectibles can never manufacture after the fact: natural scarcity created before anyone thought scarcity mattered. Then there is the buyer. 1996 is thirty years ago, which feels rude but is useful. The kid who was ten when Pokémon arrived is 40. The teenager who played Final Fantasy VII in 1997 is now somewhere around 40, probably with a mortgage and the financial capacity to make significantly worse decisions on eBay. The generation that grew up with these characters is entering the same part of life where collectors before them started paying serious money to recover pieces of their childhood. Except the underlying franchises never really went away. That is what makes the 90s so interesting to me. The nostalgia is arriving at the same time as the IP is still commercially relevant. And Pokémon has already shown us how far this can go. Pokémon was born in 1996. Its earliest CoroCoro material now sits right at the beginning of one of the largest collectible franchises on earth. Then there is Pikachu Illustrator, created for CoroCoro contests in 1998. This year, the only PSA 10 sold for US$16.492 million. The most expensive trading card ever sold at auction. A 90s character card now sits above Mickey Mantle, Honus Wagner and every other piece of cardboard ever sold publicly at auction. So the idea that the 1990s are somehow too recent to produce serious grails is already dead. Pokémon got there first. I don't think it will be alone. We've spent the last few weeks digging through the rest of the decade and the depth is ridiculous. 1993 Sonic prisms. 1995 Toy Story. 1996 Final Fantasy VII Carddass. 1998 South Park. 1999 Ocarina of Time. Early Resident Evil. Tomb Raider. Street Fighter. The Simpsons. Different countries. Different formats. Different manufacturers. Vending cards, foils, prisms, stickers, lenticulars, magazine issues, cheap American wax. But the same broad setup keeps appearing: enormous IP, childhood-era cardboard and far less high-grade supply than you would expect from franchises this big. The Simpsons already feels like the market beginning to look backwards. Collectors are increasingly treating the 1990 Topps cards and stickers as first-year character material rather than some forgotten junk-wax non-sport set. Pokémon is already fully mature. The rest is earlier. That is why I keep coming back to the 90s. Earlier vintage has already had decades of attention. Batman collectors know the Batman card. Star Wars collectors know the Luke. Disney and comic collectors have spent generations establishing their important early pieces. Modern collectibles have the opposite problem. Everyone knows they're collectibles before the box is even opened. The good cards are identified immediately, sleeved immediately, graded immediately and often hoarded immediately. The 90s sit right between those two worlds. Old enough to have been genuinely used and lost. Recent enough to contain some of the largest IP still operating today. Thirty years of nostalgia. A huge generation of collectors moving into serious earning years. And cardboard produced before people realised they should be protecting it. You could almost design the perfect future vintage market around those conditions. Except we don't have to. It already happened. Batman had fifty-plus years for its cardboard to become canon. Star Wars has had nearly fifty. Pokémon has shown what can happen when a 90s property reaches the same level of collectible maturity. Now look at the class sitting behind it. Mario. Sonic. Link. Cloud. Tifa. Aerith. Resident Evil. Lara Croft. Woody and Buzz. The Simpsons. South Park. Street Fighter. Some of the most recognisable characters of the last thirty years, attached to cards produced before anyone had a reason to treat them like future financial assets. I think the market eventually does what it has always done with culturally important things. It looks backwards. It decides what mattered. Then it pays for the best surviving examples. The 50s had their turn. The 60s had their turn. The 70s are going absolutely ******* nuts right now. Pokémon has already broken the door down for the 90s. The rest of the decade is only a matter of time.

  @BowTiedBroke I bet 50% of the items on Amazon and eBay are counterfeit. I bought what I thought were real Yeti tumblers on Amazon . Quality looked legit, but packaging was full of spelling errors. Purchased supplements on Amazon but wanted cheaper. Found counterfeits on eBay for less.

  @mov_axbx Power. That is what this boils down to. The Spark will stay in the 2 digits, while this one gets to hair dryer level. Processors alone at idle 400w TDP. And there is NO WAY you are getting a server with 6TB of memory for $500. A 4TB model on ebay right now is selling for $88,000+.

  Ebay is ******* broken lmao. Got an item returned as "unverified" from authentication. (It's real, they're retarded) However, the shipping for the return package never updated. So, the auto-refund didn't register. And I can't manually refund the customer, since the "authentication guarantee" won't register a full refund as a "resolved dispute", thereby dinging my account. And when I go to ebay help now, this is the screen I get, because I typed exactly 4 questions longer than a sentence into their search bar. It is impossible to speak with a human on ebay. I guess I'll just ******* eat this for now, but I don't know what to do. And I hate that "working for yourself" still involved on relying upon retarded companies run by ****** Indian AIs, so you have to fight to make the few bucks profit you get after the dumb fees.

  @WCRaustler Good question. I wrote my first non-fiction book in 1998 (at 28) it was a simple eBook called Autopilot eBay which showed people how to sell digital delivery items on that marketplace. I offered it as an PLR product. It was eventually translated into 16 languages. Most of those by customers who translated in long before AI and made it available for their country. I did not start sooner because I did not have an idea for a book before that. I later used that same kind of idea, finding a common problem, and providing a simple proven solution. To write many more books. Just getting into fiction now after helping many fiction authors find their way in the publishing process. It matters less when you start but how well you finish. For many it is just publishing that one meaningful book. For others it is an unspoken passion that drives them.

  NEW: 💰 Automated scalper bots now outnumber human buyers 10 to 1 on DDR5 memory listings. Bad bots accounted for 91% of traffic reaching one retailer's DDR5 product pages, polling listings every 6.5 seconds. Average 32GB DDR5-6000 kits surged from $72 last year to $392 on PCPartPicker. The cheapest 128GB DDR5-6400 kit tracked reached $3,399, ten times its record low pricing. On eBay, G.Skill 32GB kits listed for $836.54 against a $429.99 retail price. "Traffic analytics are probably understating the problem significantly." — Jérôme Segura Retail PC builders won't see normal memory pricing until at least 2027 while enterprise buyers soak up available DRAM production.

  Big brands clear listings with legal teams. Solo sellers lose them to Prop 65 warnings, GPSR labels, or trademark conflicts they didn't know existed. Citeward reads every listing on Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, and eBay, flags the gaps, and drafts the fix. Live soon.

  As someone who has sold all types of collectibles on eBay for like 20+ years, this interaction screams "I will be a problem down the road." I probably wouldn't sell either, but I'd be less of an ******* about it. Just be like I don't think I have what your looking for and move on
