  From 2019 onwards, $EBAY has a pretty impressive rap sheet: - 2019: Execs ordered a stalking campaign against blogger couple the Steiners. Sent live bugs, a pig mask, and a funeral wreath to their home. GPS tracked their car. CEO Wenig ("take her down") walked with $57M severance. Never charged. - 2022: 7 employees convicted. Ringleader Jim Baugh sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. - 2023: DOJ sues eBay for selling 343K emissions defeat devices and illegal pesticides. Potential $1.9B exposure. - 2024: eBay pays $3M criminal fine (statutory max) to DOJ for the stalking. Same month, pays $59M for facilitating illegal pill press sales. - 2026: Steiner civil suit ($466M punitive ask) settled, then collapsed. Trial set for Jan 2027. Multiple DOJ actions. 7 convictions. Billions in exposure. A decade of self-inflicted chaos. Utter waste of shareholder capital, while the business has failed to grow and the margins + stockholders’ equity is depleting by the quarter. Is this board and CEO really the best to run this iconic American brand?

  Running the numbers with Grok, GameStop is over-leveraged buying eBay. Hear me out - if they acquired Chewy now, this gets them the free cash flow needed to support that loan while Ryan turns around eBay. Structured correctly, this allows them to hit the $32 Warrant strike price. Chewy is in an extremely advantageous position for this right now. Their stock price is a steal, they are largely done with the major CapEx for growing their distribution centers (which can be further leveraged in NewCo), and have strong and growing Free Cash Flow. The price is right. The cash flow supports the loan. Ryan can focus on eBay when he gets it. And he can manage/improve Chewy in his sleep. CRITICALLY - $GME will be volatile after an acquisition like this, and Ryan can issue an ATM into a squeeze. The big squeeze comes later. A small one in the interim can, with an ATM, basically let Ryan buy Chewy for free.

  @MGDTcards No real issues honestly. Only graded, only about 4 sellers on eBay and I limit the players. There’s quite a few guardrails, but since it’s a hot market the inventory is very liquid. I personally would only do graded since it’s a standardized system but no reason why it can’t do any card

I tend to think solana:7HgfXftRBBqsYtAEYcqjGLQrNJLL6Tww9ek4rE3Apump is correlated to Roaring Kitty and that he will come back when there’s a solid reason like gmeXebay deal. I could envision a scenario where the deal is half stock for eBay and the deal currency of gme shares creates some sort of opportunity. All spectulation though

  🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

  $GME $EBAY GameStop can bypass or dismantle eBay's poison pill by employing specific, aggressive corporate governance strategies. A poison pill (shareholder rights plan) does not completely stop a takeover; it simply forces the bidder to negotiate with the board or take the battle directly to the shareholders. To push the acquisition through, GameStop and CEO Ryan Cohen can use three primary legal and financial avenues. 1. Launch a Proxy Contest to Replace the Board •The Strategy: GameStop can nominate its own slate of directors for eBay's next annual meeting. •The Mechanism: If eBay shareholders elect GameStop's nominees, the new board can vote to redeem (cancel) the poison pill. •The Outcome: Once the new board removes the pill, GameStop can safely execute its $125-per-share tender offer without triggering severe dilution. 2. File a Lawsuit Challenging the Pill •The Strategy: GameStop can sue the eBay board in court (typically Delaware Chancery Court). •The Argument: GameStop would argue that the board is breaching its fiduciary duties by using the pill to block a premium offer solely to entrench themselves. •The Outcome: If the court finds the eBay board's defense disproportionate, a judge can order the board to pull down the pill, forcing them to let shareholders vote on the deal. 3. Condition the Tender Offer on Board Approval •The Strategy: GameStop can launch a public tender offer directly to eBay shareholders but add a "minimum tender condition." •The Mechanism: GameStop states it will only buy the shares if a supermajority (e.g., 70% or 80%) of eBay shareholders agree to sell, and the eBay board removes the pill. •The Pressure: If the vast majority of eBay investors tender their shares, the extreme pressure usually forces the board to dismantle the pill and negotiate, fearing massive shareholder lawsuits if they refuse. The Underlying Fuel: The July 7 Vote To make any of these strategies credible, GameStop must pass its own July 7, 2026 proposals. Increasing its authorized shares to 2.5 billion gives GameStop the financial ammunition to buy a massive stake or offer an overwhelmingly attractive stock-and-cash deal that eBay shareholders cannot ignore.

  GameStop is about to make the Final Bid for $EBAY On May 3rd, 2026, $GME made a bid for $eBay: "proposed offer is $125.00 per share, comprising 50% cash and 50% GameStop common stock, with full shareholder election rights as to consideration type and pro-rata allocation." Since making that bid, he has gone on a full media pressure campaign, highlighting the misalignment and inadequacies of the management and board of $eBay. The bid was promptly rejected in the face of a stunning 2.5 billion share auth proposal at the July 7th meeting, seemingly to get the $eBay deal done, though the two have not been explicitly linked. Last we heard from @ryancohen was that he is taking the deal directly to shareholders. So what does that mean? —————— WHY EBAY? Let's first look at the target: $eBay. $eBay has around ~90% institutional ownership. Now, in the face of an activist takeover and a hostile bid, what does that mean exactly? First, it means the shareholders of eBay are heavily organized and concentrated. The bidder does not have to convince a million people separately. He just has to convince a few holders of the stock. Second, institutions have a hard mandate. They are fiduciaries of capital, not shareholders convinced for a multitude of reasons. There is only one reason they care about: does it make sense financially? A fiduciary, by law, has to evaluate the offer against standalone value. If the premium is real and the financing is committed, they tender. Not because they want to. Because they have to. For a potential acquisition target, that is not a defense. That is a STRONG vulnerability. And for a hostile bidder, that is everything. —————— MOVE 1: THE REJECTION You can't launch a hostile tender without first making a friendly offer the board refuses. The rejection is the legal prerequisite. It establishes that the board won't negotiate, which justifies going around them. But it matters HOW they reject. If they say "$125 is too low": you're negotiating price before you've started. If they say "not credible": they've rejected the financing, NOT the number. And look at what eBay actually said: "neither credible nor attractive." They left $125 completely unchallenged. Cohen didn't just get rejected. He got rejected perfectly. Price locked. Board on record fighting the wrong battle. Hostile lane open. The dismissible bid was designed, not fumbled. He could have shown up May 3 with committed financing. The board would have had to engage. Price negotiation starts at $125 but eventually he pays more, and it's open to negotiation. Instead, he showed up with a highly confident letter the board COULD dismiss and they dismissed it on financing, not price. Now, when the financing firms up, their only stated objection disappears, and they've already conceded $125 by never contesting it. Meanwhile, he amassed 2,480,467 shares, funded with cash. The 39M-share conversion untouched. Move 1 is complete. —————— COHEN EXPLICITLY TOLD YOU MOVE 2 IS COMING The public press run Ryan Cohen did was very interesting for a multitude of reasons. First, he had to keep his cool under pressure. The viral CNBC clips show just how difficult that is. Second, the interviews themselves are hard to curate to ensure no critical information leaks out. And in that, he explcitly states his next move. Anthony Pompliano Interview: "It's going to come down to the owners of the business and who they believe are the best fiduciaries of their capital." The owners decide. Not the board. That's the tender described in one sentence. "If it was all stock, GameStop shareholders would own 20% of the business. eBay would own 80% of the earnings." He described the all-stock version. Framed it as the bad outcome for his own shareholders. Then went silent on the alternative. Barron's Interview: "The board and the management team cannot run and hide forever." A board hides behind a rejection letter. You can't hide from a tender: it goes directly to your shareholders. "Ultimately this will be resolved by shareholders." He says it twice. Not the board. Shareholders. "I'm not receiving risk-free compensation and selling stock without putting money on the line." That's the pitch to eBay's institutions, pre-loaded into the public record. When the tender arrives: your management takes risk-free comp and sells stock. I take zero salary and get paid only if the combined company hits hurdles. Who should run your asset? "Private equity is really good at raising money and charging management fees. I'm an operator." He's killing the white-knight defense before the board even tries it. When they look for an alternative buyer, PE is the obvious candidate, but Cohen has already framed them as fee-extractors. That defense is pre-neutralized. Every answer points at the same mechanism: a tender offer, direct to shareholders, where the owners decide. SO WHERE IS IT? —————— THE AGM WAS THE LAST PIECE OF INTEL The highly watched $ebay AGM came and went, and many GameStop shareholders were dissappointed. Proposal 4 on the slate specifically was the one to watch: a proposal to lower the special-meeting threshold to 10%. Ultimately, all motions passed in favour of ebay's board and the proposal was rejected. However, let's take a look at the context. This is not the first time this proposal has been brought forward, and every time it has failed. What was the difference this time? This time, the board hired Innisfree, a professional adversarial proxy defense entity. They ran two weeks of direct outreach.  On the other side, @ryancohen amassed close to a 10% position, not going above, but buying direct shares as well.  So what were the results? 2026: 42.8% in favour.  Compare that to 2025: 49% in favour.  So what does that mean in the context of the situation? For a company that is held 90% by institutions, 43% voted IN FAVOUR OF A HOSTILE BIDDER BEING ABLE TO CALL A SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING. Nearly HALF the register defied the board's recommendation DURING AN ACTIVE HOSTILE BID, AFTER the board spent weeks fighting it with a professional proxy solicitor. The institutions who did vote with the board on Proposal 4 didn't do it because they love eBay management. They did it because an uncommitted activist at 9% isn't a strong enough reason to hand him structural tools. Change "uncommitted activist" to "fully funded premium tender" and fiduciary duty makes the decision for them. 42.7% defied the board on a hypothetical. The question is: What happens when the offer is real and sitting in their account? The AGM was never the battlefront for $GME, just the last piece of data he needed before Move 2. Now he has it. —————— THE TENDER A tender doesn't need the board's permission. Doesn't need a merger vote. Doesn't need a special meeting. Doesn't need Proposal 4. It goes directly to the owners. Every shareholder individually decides. The board can recommend against it, but they can't stop it from reaching their shareholders. A fund manager holding eBay at ~$100 receives a funded offer at $125. The math: take certain cash at a 25–46% premium, or hold under a board whose only defense just collapsed. "I believed in eBay management" is a career-ending sentence when the alternative was guaranteed money. The board's one tool is a poison pill. A pill blocks the tender from closing, but not from staying open. Not from the arbs flooding the register. Not from the story running. And a pill turns it into a proxy war. eBay is declassified. Majority-vote. Every director stands annually. "Replace the directors blocking your $125" is a short fight when arbs hold the register and the board's own stated objection no longer exists. Cohen said it: "cannot run and hide forever." A pill buys time but it doesn't win. —————— THE WINDOW Since the last 425, Cohen has gone quiet. The longest gap of the campaign: straight through eBay's AGM and out the other side. Let's look at the calendar a bit and try to surmise what he is planning. July 7: GameStop's annual meeting. Two proposals matter, and they are not the same vote. The authorized-share increase of 2.5 billion is close to a formality. The June 8 proxy supplement spelled it out: simple majority of votes cast, and NYSE deems it routine, so brokers vote uninstructed shares *for* it. That one passes. Cohen knows it passes and that's what the proxy supplement was to clarify. The CEO performance award is the hard one. It was pitched to be decided by unaffiliated holders which is a higher bar than a plain majority.  But here's what the supplement also said: the share authorization is *not* a condition of the pay award. The two are decoupled. And the authorization was never explicitly tied to the eBay deal to begin with. So read it straight. Cohen does not need the July 7 vote to move on eBay. He already has the shares and the structure. What he needs is the other half: committed financing locked *before* he reveals a direct offer to a base that's ~90% institutional. Institutions don't tender on a "highly confident" letter. They tender on certain cash. And then there's Teddy. The site Cohen built for his father has been password-gated since June 1. During this entire saga, this has never ocurred. This Sunday is Father's Day. What I'm watching for: Teddy goes live on Father's Day, Sunday June 21 and the formal offer hits the tape the next morning, Monday June 22. —————— TL;DR: This was always two moves. Move 1: present a dismissible bid. Let the board reject it on financing. Lock the price. Accumulate cheap. Map the register. Move 2: fix the financing. Take the same $125 directly to the owners of a 90% institutional company, where fiduciary duty makes tendering a forced move. Move 1 is done. The board rejected on financing, not price. The toehold is built. The AGM data is in hand. "The board cannot run and hide forever."

  @RetroCoast I bought a used personal hidden camera on eBay because I needed just the recorder portion for a well/bore camera. It came with an SD card that had been wiped but I started to wonder what the previous owner would use it for. I had software I used to recover from corrupted memory cards and gave it a shot. It took all night but the next day there were 4 separate video files recovered. I played the files one by one, it was a man filming his apartment tours, he had the camera hidden about chest level, it was all very boring, filling applications and talking to apartment managers. I said, what a waste of time and skimmed through the last video, at the end, something caught my eye, it was him getting into his car while swinging HIS PURSE into the passenger seat, he was mumbling to himself sounding discouraged, then he sat down into the driver's seat for the great reveal, dainty women's dress shoes, pumps or heels or whatever, hairy legs and a tight fitting dress! This DUDE was trying to get anyone to openly discriminate against him for being a freak, ultimately it didn't work so he sold his hidden camera system.
