  @peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

  Q1’s $389.6M net income included a $268.4M unrealized gain on the eBay derivative position. GameStop’s adjusted net income was $179.3M. So if Q2 says: NET INCOME: $500 MILLION!!! I’m immediately scrolling down. Likewise, if GAAP net income looks disappointing because ->>

  @SweetTradeCards @mjmike2323 @TwinsJake What? I'm asking.... guy seems to have solid feedback on Ebay. This model is new to me, just curious how it works on a non-scam level. Boils down to a $10 raffle ticket vs. ordering directly from Topps. Just seems gimmicky, that's all

  @GoatBeardzDD Nice write up! I agree with the majority of your thinking. However, I don't think increasing the share offer is the issue or the problem. $125 was extremely generous when it was made. And a 20% premium (at today's price) is a very nice bump for a company whose future share price is very unpredictable. This fight has nothing to do what's good for the shareholders. eBay management and the board have an insane salary package, and they don't care about the share price because they hardly own any shares. They have little to gain letting this deal go through at any share price. They have their overpaid pay packages to lose and that's what they're trying to hang on to. This only goes through if the institutional shareholders of eBay force the eBay board to accept the buyout. But they're going to fight tooth and nail, because they don't personally benefit from the acquisition.

  @angelojello74 It can suck. What is hard to do is what you need to do and that is find a way to get ahead. Not just tread water, but get ahead and work you way to floating. Often that means doing a side hustle, so you can divert 20% of your primary income to investments. Something like an ETF that can reinvest dividend income every single month. The challenge is just finding what works for you. Arbitrage of one kind or another is often the low hanging fruit. Find a service or product that is in demand and be the middleman that gets communicates with the party to get the work done, while you make the customer happy with good follow up and communication with them. Think of it like a general contractor but for smaller tasks. Another thing you can learn and do is use an app to scan products first at your local stores in the discount section. You scan them to see what they are really selling for on Amazon or eBay. Looking for item that always sell and give you a good margin. There are great YouTube channels and videos on this. This turns a few hours on the weekend and say $100 to start into 30-50% profit margins. Not perfect but it requires almost no skill because the app does the calculations and the math or profit after fees, shipping and expenses. Hardest thing for you is to ship right away until you get the feel of the flow and can afford to ship items to amazon for shipping from their warehouse. Smaller margins at first as you get your first sales, feedback and reviews. But it scales fast as hell. You can even put items on a credit card if you must to get going just make sure you can use the app to pick a winner, create a basic listing (the bar code can help you do that). Other than 2 hours a week of effort and learning to pick winners with the app there is not much of a learning curve. There are tons of things like that. Instead of the discount isle you can go to yard sales with an app take photos and the app can help you search eBay for collectable prices. Here the margins are much larger but it takes more knowledge and skill. Watch @garyvee on his YouTube content for this game. Great videos, and he really breaks things down. For investments do not mess with individual stocks for the first few years. Just lift yourself out of the water. You can do this, just baby step what you try at first, stick you toe in the water. If you need video recommendations or more ideas just tag me and what I see it I will respond. I know it does not feel like it but it is almost too easy to make extra money now. You got this!

  @AMCTheatres @CEOAdam While you're cracking down on EBAY scalpers, could you also enforce a no water bottle/canister ban on all theaters? (We all know they bring them in and refill them at the Freestyle stations without paying) Why am I paying more for their theft?

  @MK5Cards I’m wondering when they’re gonna open back up, it’s kind of a bummer. I’ve had issues getting distribution as well, I’m basically **** out of luck for getting anything retail value. I’ve gotta buy in bulk from other eBay distributors and see if I can manage to make money on it is basically how it’s going to work for the next year or so. Nobody will sell or distribute to anyone unless you have an actual store front. I can’t afford to buy a brick and mortar storefront right now, who can afford that kind of overhead lol.

  @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.

  @JC_colleccoast That’s pretty cool man. I never thought about using ChatGPT for research. My my son and I PC Giants, 49ers, and Braves. Overtime with ripping we just accumulated too many cards. So about three months ago I started up at Ebay store for him. Normally, I check the sold items on eBay to get an accurate listing. My problem is getting the view. Not sure why some cards have a higher viewing than others. I have some that have been on there for two months with nothing.

  @SkyBrockmoller eBay will deduct 13.25% from that $400. If you want to do a direct deal, I suggest offering a more attractive price, especially since there is no guarantee that you will ship the product, verify its authenticity, or issue a refund if something goes wrong Good luck with the sale

  Shoe update. Played again but it fell apart once more. So do I regret spending the money to get it fixed? No. Now I know it wasn't my attempt to fix it but rather the shoe itself is just beyond repair and that was worth the money. I also learned do your due dili on ebay.

  In 1954 Mickey Mantle was the best baseball player in America. In 1994 he was a raging alcoholic with a failing liver. He jumped the transplant queue, got a new liver, kept drinking, and died anyway. The liver went to someone who could pay. Not to someone who needed it most. That is not a legal question. It is not a moral question. It is a microeconomics question - and there is a Harvard lecture that builds the framework to answer it from scratch. His name is Jonathan Gruber. MIT, 14.01, Principles of Microeconomics. He advised the Massachusetts health reform that became the model for the Affordable Care Act. He has taught this course at MIT for over two decades. This is lecture 1. One claim: every decision you have ever made is a constrained optimization problem. You just did not know it had a name. At 08:17 he uses the iPod to show how three questions get answered simultaneously by one mechanism. What gets produced. How it gets produced. Who gets it. The answer to all three is the same variable: price. One number coordinates millions of strangers without any of them knowing the others exist. At 19:13 he gives Adam Smith's paradox. Water is necessary for life. Diamonds are not. Water is nearly free. Diamonds cost a fortune. Smith had the question in 1776. The answer requires both sides of one equation - and the side he was missing is what this course is built on. At 21:15 he puts the kidney auction on eBay to the room. Starting price $25,000. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. He asks whether eBay was wrong. The students argue. He does not resolve it. He says that question will take the rest of the semester to answer properly. A consultant I know says this is the lecture that made her realize she had been solving optimization problems her whole life without the vocabulary to describe them. Says she started seeing supply and demand curves in arguments she had been losing for years. Free on MIT OpenCourseWare, all 33 lectures. The kidney question from lecture 1 does not get a clean answer until week twelve. Most people who have opinions about ***** markets have never watched the part where the model is actually built.

  @SelfMadeMastery Apple is now maxing out at 96GB of RAM. You can find 128GB Mac Studio on eBay for under $5000. It's a better investment and can load 70B models no problem. $1600 on a Mac Mini is not a bargain anymore. When it was $399 that was a different story.

  @BIGBetts1999 @CardPurchaser @eBay I had this issue with them and argued what they are really saying is the are subjectively “grading” the condition of cards rather than confirming authenticity. They disagreed and nothing came of it. Sent the card to PSA and it got a 9 which, to me, confirmed eBay was completely in the wrong and it cost me $400.00 in the difference between sales. Now, I keep all cards possible under authentication as they have no transparency or objective evaluation process.

  MIT teaches auction theory with 40 minutes of integrals, then throws out one bar-room example that quietly ruins every bid you'll ever make. 2 men, 2 wallets, 1 auction. Google built its ad business on the broken version of it, and the honest version has been sitting on a shelf since 1961. Start in the bar. 2 strangers, each with his own wallet in his hand, neither one opening it. They agree to auction the combined cash inside both. Highest bidder pays his bid and takes everything in the pot. You know your own $60. You know nothing about his. So every number you say out loud is built from half the facts and a guess about a stranger. Here's the trap, and it takes a second to land. He is only still bidding when he thinks the pot is fat. He drops out the moment he knows his own wallet is thin. So every round you win is a round the other guy was glad to hand you. That's the winner's curse. You don't win because you read the room better than anyone else. You win because you were the most wrong person at the table, and the auction sorted for exactly that. Oil firms bid on offshore drilling rights this way. Nobody knows what's under the seabed. The company that wins the block is the company that guessed highest, and the company that guessed highest is usually the company that guessed wrong. Government procurement runs on the same math. So do apartment bidding wars, and so does eBay at 11 PM when 3 people want the same lens. Now the money part. Google's search page has several ad slots, and the top one gets clicked far more than the 5th. Advertisers bid per click, not per view, so each one is really reporting a private number: what a single click is worth to them. For years the rule was simple. The 5th highest bid takes the 5th slot and pays the 6th bid. GSP. Generalized second price. It sounds clean and it isn't, because losing here doesn't mean going home with nothing. It means going home with a worse slot. So nobody states their real number. Everyone shades down, and then spends millions a year on software whose entire job is guessing what the other 40 bidders are about to do. An auction where the optimal move is to misreport what you know. The fix was published in 1961. Vickrey first, then Clarke, then Groves. VCG. You don't pay your bid. You pay the damage you caused: exactly what everyone else lost because you walked in the door. And the property that makes it beautiful is stronger than "usually works." Under VCG, telling the truth is your best move no matter how the other 40 bidders behave. Not on average. Always. It holds for any resource, not just ad slots. Vickrey solved it in 1961. The ad market spent 20 years bidding around him.
