  I got a few of the Chinese #PokemonTCG products recently, they have such cool stuff. My only issue is every plastic/acrylic clear thing seems to have major scratches on it. I tried on ebay from what seemed like a good seller and @Pokene_Pokemon but every product, giant scratches.

  The most underrated YouTube niche in 2026 is vintage jewelry appraisal. A channel called Natalie Pencer started posting April 18, 2026. 3 months old. 6,590 subscribers. 29 videos. 775,140 total views. 26,729 average views per video. The top video pulled 240,000 views in 12 days. "10 Ugly Jewelry Pieces That Are Secretly Worth A Fortune (You Might Own One)." 22 minute video. 9.0x the channel average. The formula is dead simple. "10 [old thing] That Are Secretly Worth A Fortune." Brooches. Earrings. Rings. Gemstones. Every video wraps the same hook around a different object your grandmother probably left you. The character is "your little Jewelry Detective." Authority frame the audience trusts before Natalie says a word. The costume does half the work. Monetization is already stacked. Every viewer who watched a 22 minute video about jewelry valuation is a $47 buyer. Why this niche prints. Every American over 40 has a box of old jewelry sitting in a drawer. Every one of them wonders if it is worth something. Every one of them searches "how do I know if this ring is real gold" or "how much is my grandmother's brooch worth" at 11pm. r/Jewelry, r/AskJewelers, r/EstateSales, r/Antiques, and 20 other subreddits have 10 years of free content waiting to be repackaged. eBay sold listings tell you exactly what old pieces sell for. Auction house records are public. The playbook. Step 1. Grab the top 100 upvoted threads from r/Jewelry and r/EstateSales. Step 2. Build one character. Jewelry detective. Retired appraiser. Estate expert. Step 3. Frame every video around the money the viewer might not know they have. Step 4. Same title formula every time. "10 [old items] That Are Secretly Worth A Fortune." Step 5. Attach a $47 ebook the moment you have 3 uploads. Step 6. Ship 2 to 3 videos a week. Ride the first 9x outlier the moment it hits. The window is wide open. Pick a $47 problem your audience is Googling at 11pm. Wrap it in an authority character. Ship 15 videos in 30 days.

  Has anyone had problems with PWE not getting marked delivered? I had someone say a package was never delivered but it seems a little fishy to me. Plus some don’t show as delivered on eBay and can’t be tracked. Need some advice from people who know better than me @CardPurchaser

  @foxenflask Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Forgive me as my M&A experience is about 15+ years old consulting as a jr. fin analyst on these kinds of projects. Things were very different back then. I’m going off of what we would be recommending to our clients, how I would have seen us likely advising Ryan/Gamestop at this point. To answer your question directly, I would say “yes”, I could see a constructive deck that would have more summarization of the current 425 materials to date, possibly explaining further thoughtful use-cases a merger would provide and its benefits to both eBay and Gamestop stakeholders alike. If there was an update in financing backing or structure (not exact merger math, but notable change due to say a SWF or PE partnership) that could help with overall reduction of risk, allowing for Gamestop rerate by the market ahead of any TO. In fact, if I was advising, this sort of comms would be unrelenting as when you have the truth on your side, you need to push it until everyone is tired of hearing it. I think there is still a long campaign ahead of Ryan to get GME price to rerate, and I would expect the campaign to push materials at least through 2nd quarter earnings to try and achieve that rerate. Overall campaign goal being to settle stakeholder concerns and reinforce the positives through continuous narrative in order to attain a rerate of GME price PRIOR to advancing with a restructured offer directly to eBay shareholders that is more viable with the given variables at time of offer. I just see any sort of TO at current structure with this price point as putting Gamestop in such an incredibly difficult hill to climb that would be more easily taken on if a rerate was first secured. The amount of combined debt, the actual accretion gained, etc. leave just an unnecessary and unwieldy road ahead if we take our shot now as things currently stand. I’m talking years of battle to get to numbers that could take substantially less time if a rerate happens first, which I think can be secured in just months. Just because you can execute doesn’t mean you should. The price is down because these fears are legitimately realistic in that there is ugly unnecessary risk here. I think the path forward looks so much cleaner and easy to manage when GME price is in the $40s, and don’t understand why they would offer until that is achieved. To note, I also believe Gamestop is currently severely under-valued and I don’t think a rerate into the mid-$30’s based on current metrics alone is unreasonable. Kind of why I think 2Q earnings would be a big milestone as it continues to show what Gamestop and Ryan are capable of and that this turnaround is real. I get your point that something may be brewing though, that could cause a rerate quickly! I don’t see anything as needing to be pressed in short order unless that is the case, and was trying to understand why you did. I do get that more time spent equals more time for defensive maneuvers by eBay board, to a degree, I think they are also somewhat stuck and limited. Appreciate all you do, brother. It’s been fun keeping pace with your thoughts as we roll along here! I hope you don’t mind the questions I pose, they are only intended to understand what your tracking to in your head.

  I will say this much about the TCG meta eBay charges like around 13% to sell cards on their marketplace. TCGplayer charges a similar amount albeit I think TCGplayer is slightly less. Enabling people to trade TCG cards (or anything) peer to peer on blockchain with significantly lower fees is dope. Of course, you need a trusted custodian like collector crypt to make this happen should traders decide to redeem their NFTs, but it’s neat. Maybe down the road, custodians create a service where you can send in an item, they secure that item in a secure vault, and they send you an NFT that you can trade and redeem whenever…is that a thing yet?

  @growing_daniel @rei_iku_ In the cases of Honey and Capital One, users voluntarily downloaded the browser extensions and accepted terms of service that allowed the extensions to look for coupons and interact with checkout pages. The core legal fight is simply over "last-click attribution" rules—meaning it's a civil argument about who gets paid the commission under industry standards, not a criminal scam. That's different from cases like various eBay affiliate/cookie stuffing issues = wire fraud.

  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 23 minutes ago

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including Walmart, Nike, and Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @ConwayYen @EndureInFaith @Tony_Denaro I'm not sure what you mean by the eBay deal is in danger. The board declined the deal, so at this point, if it's going to happen, it's a good old-fashioned slow and steady acquisition of shares plus shareholder courtship. Did I miss something?

  @noctis_research $GME is down over 57% the past 5 years. I think the shortsellers are doing just fine; infact I bet some of them bought an extra yacht with retail money. It is the loyal shareholders getting crushed with no end in sight. RCEO is gooning over @eBay and doesn't talk about Gamestop

  @ReefRuff An actual dedicated camcorder as opposed to a mirrorless SLR camera would be better. You can get new or used camcorders on eBay for 50-300 dollars. An advantage that camcorders have is that they never have problems with autofocus.

  @Guitarbizon @JulyMike1959 Just packed up for return. China / eBay. Very pretty but somehow the styrofoam / plastic bag embedded blurry shapes in the clear poly finish that won’t polish out. Maybe with a buffer but not going there. Janky hardware - expected. Nut was just a thin strip of plastic that didn’t fill slot. Body beautiful, chunky neck with really nicely done frets. Good setup. Didn’t bother plugging in, was going to rewire as an Andy Summers mod. If it didn’t have the finish problems I may have taken it on. $220 shipped from China in 3 weeks. Wish Cathy made this…

  I just interviewed a guy who did $192,500 in one month working 2 to 3 hours a week. 90% net profit margins. This one is getting me all fired up just writing about it! This guy had an HR job he hated. Tried every side hustle in the book. (sound familiar?) eBay Dropshipping Affiliate marketing Facebook ads all of them He finally landed on running an SEO agency for local businesses and started actually making real money. Then a client called him in the middle of the night to complain about his results. The results were stellar by the way... Luke woke up the next morning, fired every single client he had, and walked away from $108,000 in revenue. Then he flipped the whole business inside out. Instead of doing SEO for other people, he built the websites for himself. Ranked them. Owned them. And rented the leads back out to local businesses for a flat monthly fee. His first 6 sites got him right back to $108K a year. Small niches, small cities. Towing in Woodside, Queens. Carpet cleaning in Irving, Texas. Tree service HVAC Pest control Limo He now owns 132 of these sites. I'm so pumped up after this one. In this episode Luke: - Walks through his live playbook for finding a winning niche - Shows the Irving, Texas carpet cleaning site that has paid him $500 a month for basically 7 years straight - Breaks down exactly why he only targets cities of a specific population size - Explains the rev share pitch he gave his biggest clients This one was so good!
