    The question CNBC asked Cohen 3 times. The question he wouldn't answer. GameStop has 448M shares today. To fund the $26B stock portion of the eBay deal at $23.84, GameStop needs to issue 1,091M new shares — a 244% increase in float. Existing $GME holders go from owning 100% of GameStop to 29% of the combined company. Wall Street agrees: $EBAY at $109 vs the $125 offer is a 12.5% merger-arb spread. Market is pricing in a roughly 70% chance the deal dies. "It's on our website."

    💥 GameStop down 9% after announcing an offer to buy eBay. Two legacy brands trying to solve relevance with M&A instead of innovation. Classic desperation move. GME rode a meme wave but never built a sustainable business model. Now they're burning cash on empire building. eBay isn't a growth asset. It's a fading marketplace that lost to Amazon years ago. This isn't strategic vision. It's a distraction from fundamental weakness dressed up as ambition. #GameStop #eBay

    @Sacb0y @BachFjoreskin @eBay eBay would have block sales entirely for a set time period not just for NEW products. Scalping has become a serious money industry for technology products. If you do not have Apple’s or Samsung’s level of scale you can expect about half of your launch purchases at your front line retail to be from scalpers. Customers do not really have the option to down price based on the used status at that point.

    There is a 17% chance GameStop, $GME, acquires eBay $EBAY, per Polymarket:. Prediction markets are mostly about timing, pricing error, and crowd positioning.

    @drainedballsjr @junkbondanalyst they would need to issue 260% more shares and effectively make ebay the majorityy stakeholder of gme shares and dilute everyone else down to like 28%

    @hirschibar @MartinShkreli It’s now eBay on top of GameStop. That allows them to issue more stock beyond 9 billion in value.

    $GME $EBAY Just some random thoughts on if this deal actually goes through (and I'm hoping it does). I have zero doubt that @ryancohen will go in there and clean house, just as he did with GameStop. I mean what is the true cost of running eBay? Server space, bandwidth and likely some fall back on if items get damaged are stolen? Beyond that most everything can be automated, I would say keep a crew of customer support because that's the one thing that AI will no doubt fail at. Ebay is recession proof. Oh the market is taking crap and inflation is going through the roof? Cool, I guess I'll sell some of my stuff to make ends meet, oh guess what, ebay/gamestop will be taking 10% of that transaction. Flip side, market pumps, inflation comes down and people are buying **** they don't need? Cool, we'll take 10% of every transaction there too. Nearly instant turnaround on traded in used items. Oh, you want a PS5 for GTA6? Trade us in your PS4 for 1/2 of what it's going for and we sell it at market value on eBay. Collectables? Wow you bought that for $50 off ebay (which we took $5 of the top from that) and now your able to resell it for $500??? Cool, we'll get $50 from that transaction. Marketing? I don't know if you've noticed but there's an army of GameStop investors that will do that for you on social media. Whatever kind of sales figures Cohen is thinking he will see if he gets ebay, I can almost promise you it will be more.

    I think I’m gunna stop selling TCG, specifically Pokemon on eBay, out of most of my sales, the only ones that have had complaints (past my doing) are my Pokemon buyers. One card went to the UK and they gave me a 4 on my shipping cost (I sit a 4.8 now from that) 100% across the board on my other sales. No issues, shipping prices are the same. Now I have a card that was clearly shipped, as tracking shows that, they want a refund, and they blamed USPS, OR the label applied… Buyer is upset that the item went to another state, that’s beyond my control. I don’t deliver the item lol. Oh well. Can’t win em all but you can set yourself to.

    @JesseTinsley Does RC have any leverage with shareholders taking the 5% options position? Can he put pressure on shareholders to put it to a vote and bypass the board? I think the NYSE attempted to purchase eBay, and shareholders shot it down.

  • all8rite

    @rnewton7777 This is not “fundraising” in the normal sense. GameStop is not selling 1B shares for cash and putting the money on the balance sheet. It would be issuing stock directly to eBay shareholders as merger consideration. That means GameStop is effectively using its equity as money, but the “money” buys eBay, not cash reserves. A falling GME price makes the stock portion more dilutive. A rising GME price makes the deal easier. That is why the stock reaction is so important. This is not just “GME down because people hate the deal.” It is also the market saying: “Your currency is weaker now.” This is not a normal acquisition. It is GameStop trying to use its meme-stock equity as currency to buy a much larger, real-cash-flow marketplace. If $27.75B of the eBay bid is paid in GME stock, then every dollar drop in GME makes the deal more dilutive. At $27.75, that is 1B new shares. At $23, it is roughly 1.2B. That is the whole trade now: GME is no longer just a stock. It is the exchange currency. Bull case: Cohen gets a mature marketplace, cuts costs, uses GameStop’s stores as logistics/authentication nodes, and the combined company gets re-rated. Bear case: existing GME holders get massively diluted, debt explodes, eBay rejects the paper, and the market decides this is financial engineering instead of value creation.

    @glacierptrading @ryancohen I agree that s why I scaled down -75% almost feels like burry anticipates an imminent offering, so he got out, and if it comes true, maybe he was signaling his followers... unfortunately I didnt cut enough early, I didnt expect him to sell ALL today, Ebay hasnt even responded

    @TommyTwoClubs Depends on an offer - eBay can’t turn down an offer if it is higher than the current price.

  • Crypto_Jargon

    Ryan Cohen is swinging for the fences again. His vision is to turn eBay into a Amazon rival by slashing costs, integrating GME’s 1,600 stores for authentication/fulfillment/collectibles, bring “entrepreneurial mindset,” take no salary. This sounds sold on paper but the math is brutal. $GME is trying to buy a company 4–5x bigger its size with a cash and stock deal that screams massive dilution for existing shareholders. Markets don’t reward “trust me, bro” on $56B deals, especially from a meme-stock-turned-retail-turnaround story that’s still figuring out its own profitability. The real problem is, Public markets are brutal disciplinarians. You can meme a short squeeze but you cannot meme a credible large scale M&A without iron clad financing and execution credibility. The fact is, Cohen turned Chewy into a beast and tried the same at GME. We respect the operator DNA. But this is what happens when conviction meets balance sheet reality, the stock votes immediately. Lesson for every founder and investor: Scale requires capital discipline, not just vision. Hype gets you on CNBC. Numbers get you the deal closed.

    @AustenMane83079 @eBay Real sellers can show a license to sell, or others can sell "used" which means the price is reduced. The problem is scalpers selling as "new". The pre-sale issue doesn't solve anything; the listing still goes up after launch.

  • foxenflask
    bad robot (@foxenflask) reported

    @InvestBlackJack Rolling equity *does* require GameStop (or the new ComboCo) to issue new shares to the 50% of eBay holders who roll their stakes. The difference from a traditional “stock offering” (ATM, secondary, etc.) is that RC pays $28B cash only for the half of eBay that wants to exit (the $125/share tender). The rolling half gets no cash: their eBay shares are simply swapped for newly issued shares in the combined company (at the agreed 40/60 post-deal ownership split). This share issuance is the merger consideration itself and not a separate cash-raising sale (like an ATM). It’s what lets the deal get done with only half the cash (or debt) needed, while still diluting existing GME shareholders’ ownership percentage in the ComboCo. So the dilution is only in the post-merger ComboCo ownership percentages, not a separate cash-raising stock offering.

    “Capitalism rotting from the head down?” Ryan Cohen on $0 board fees vs $EBAY Charles pushes on the Hollow Men idea and what happens if we stop backing real risk-taking. Ryan answers with a governance stack rank: $0 board fees, directors putting their own capital in, then a sharp contrast with fat director pay at many companies, using EBAY as the example he cites on air. He closes by comparing insider buying at their shop versus massive insider selling elsewhere, calling it part of a broken incentive picture in corporate America. $GME

    CEO stupidity is having a moment Ryan Cohen wants to dilute $GME shareholders to buy eBay at 5x its market cap. $POET named $MRVL as a customer in a public interview violating their NDA. Saylor issues preferred shares at 11.5% to buy $BTC then sells $BTC to pay the dividend. Please let this be the bottom

    @VHSDVDBLURAY4K i mean he said they would have to issue new shares, everyone sorta ignoring thag part, he just doesnt want to say he has to issue like 260% more shares and is doing a reverse takeover LBO where ebay willmown like 78% of GME shares

    @zencantsnipe @ryancohen Why is no one talking about this? I’ve seen 1-2 posts breaking it down this way. Perhaps talk continues for weeks, maybe a month or two. They work out/announce a deal, the market would pin eBay to $125 or slightly below, and $gme…? Big ❓ is do eBay holders get .5 or 1 gme?

    @The8bitidiot The issue was so bad that Microsoft had to extend the warranty by like 3 years if I remember correctly. They couldn't figure it out...there were multiple mobo iterations. I used to pick them up with the RROD off ebay or craigslist for cheap. As long as the seal was still intact and would mail them to Microsoft, wait 4-6 weeks for the replacement, and then resell them for a decent profit. Probably did this 6 or 7 times. If memory serves correctly there was a "arcade" version you could get without a hdd that had HDMI and was the most reliable version. The cover on the disc drive was white instead of chrome.

  • grok

    @MonacoMacro @JesseTinsley The math is realistic in theory for M&A. Acquirers often pay with cash + new debt + newly issued stock valued off the *post-merger* combined equity (here ~$65B). GameStop contributes ~$10B cash + $20B debt financing + issues ~$25B in GME shares to eBay holders. Existing GME shareholders get diluted, but the deal captures eBay's value + any synergies in one larger entity. Standard structure (see many tech deals). The CNBC host kept pushing because the TD letter isn't firm commitment and Ryan dodged specifics. Execution risk is high, but the leverage concept itself checks out.

    @ToiletTweeting_ @eBay Well, given the economic issues scalping causes, I would be afraid of potential legislation and want to avoid that happening. And I wouldn't want to wait until it's too late. Only scalpers and eBay benefits, even companies like valve are harmed from scalping.

    @MetalManiacFox Bummer about the Reeboks—that right shoe digging in does sound like a defect (common with inconsistent QC on some models). Amazon makes returns easy. Your '77 Blazers should feel more forgiving once broken in. Start with thick socks for the first few wears to soften the ankle collar and heel tab. If anything pinches, try swapping insoles or hit up eBay's buyer protection. Let me know how they fit!
