  I just closed my eBay account. I rarely used it but listed a couple of books for sale this morning. eBay decided one of my books was offensive and shut it down. So, I shut down the account. Go to hell with your censorship eBay. It wasn’t an offensive book, btw. If you’ve ever read it, it’s just a novel: “the Turner Diaries”.

  I have dealt with a lot of theft and fraud in my life. It comes with the job of being a ship captain. The problem is never the theft. It’s the work the theft creates. Someone once stole a $500 radio out of our lifeboat. Five hundred dollars is a rounding error on a rig burning a million a day. Everyone had a pretty good idea who took it, but he almost certainly dropped it over the side, so there was no evidence, and with no evidence there was no reprimand. That $500 radio, a safety critical item, cost us hundreds of man hours. Paperwork. An investigation. New HR anti-theft training for every soul on board. Remedial steps to make sure it never happened again. Then a helicopter to fly the replacement out. That is the real cost of fraud in any system. For every dollar stolen, hundreds go to the agencies and nonprofits that exist to “fix” the problem. The theft is the seed. The compliance apparatus is the tree. The only real fix is to fire the people everyone already knows are stealing. HR will never allow it, because the entire anti-radio-theft ecosystem that grew up around the loss would collapse overnight. The ecosystem needs the thief more than the thief needs the radio. And theft is spectacularly inefficient on its own terms. Even if he got that radio ashore, it was worth maybe two hundred used on ebay. We spent tens of thousands to replace three hundred dollars of value that no longer existed anywhere in the world. It would have been WAY cheaper to hand him the radio and a receipt. That is the part nobody in the fraud-prevention business wants said out loud: the loss is almost never what breaks you. What breaks you is everything the institution builds to prove it responded. The saddest truth is it would be far cheaper to just send every Somali home with a million dollars each. They would be happier. We would be happier. Everyone would be better off except the NGOs

  $700 for a used RTX 3090 and two terminal commands. That's what it costs to never pay for ChatGPT again. Step one: install Docker on Ubuntu. One line. Step two: pull Open WebUI. One container. Step three: run Ollama. The model downloads in minutes. The Gigabyte RTX 3090 does the rest. 24 gigs of VRAM. Enough to hold a 30B model entirely on the GPU. No CPU offloading. No swap. Pure inference. Open WebUI loads in the browser. Same chat interface. Same markdown rendering. Same conversation history. Looks exactly like the thing that costs $20 a month. Except this one runs from the next room. ChatGPT Plus: $240 a year. Claude Pro: $240 a year. Both together: $480 a year to type into someone else's server. A used 3090 on eBay: $700. Ollama: free. Open WebUI: free. Docker: free. Ubuntu: free. Total: $700 once. The model weights are a download link. The web UI is an open-source repo. The entire stack is free after the GPU. The math does itself after month two. No API key. No usage cap. No "you've hit your limit, upgrade to Pro." No server logging every prompt you type. He pulls the ethernet cable. Types a question. The 3090 spins up. The answer comes back in seconds. Big AI charges $20 a month for a chat window. Open source gave away the same thing for the price of a graphics card. The subscription was never for the intelligence. It was for the convenience of not knowing you could own it.

  Day 169 Total sales: $458.97 Buy cost (COG): $44.66 eBay earnings: $208.01 Net profit: $163.35 ROI: 365% Not every day is defined by what ships, sometimes it's defined by how you handle what doesn't. Today included two canceled orders. One was canceled before shipment, so the inventory goes right back on the shelf waiting for another buyer. The other involved a non functional item that couldn't be completed, so I recorded the inventory cost & moved on. That's part of running a reselling business. The goal isn't to avoid every cancellation or problem item. The goal is to build a business where those situations are expected, accounted for, & don't derail your progress. The focus stays the same: source quality inventory, price it well, list consistently, & let the numbers compound over time. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  The Mack Daddy of all excuses: "I CAN'T AFFORD IT." "I can't afford it" is usually code for one of three things: 1) "I'm scared to invest the money I have unless I'm guaranteed a result." Spending money on information guarantees you a big bag of Jack Squat. The pay-MENT, no matter how much $ it is, does not create the pay-DAY. Consistently implementing the information you purchase over a sustained period of time allows you a fighting chance. The true ROI (RETURN ON INVESTMENT) is a product of your ROI (RATE OF IMPLEMENTATION). So while you waffle and kick the can down the road, you'd rather stare at that those numbers in your check book to feed your insecurity and your scarcity mindset ("What if things go wrong?") instead of putting that money to work for you by having a mindset of confidence and abundance ("What if things go right?"). 2) "I don't want to work extra to earn extra income." So, you're too good or too special to Door Dash or Uber? (I got news for you. . .When I wanted to generate additional revenue to fund my entrepreneurial ventures, I did everything from bounce at bars, to selling Christmas trees, to setting up inflatable moon-bounce rides, even while I was working 50-60 hours a week running a national production company). I guess Netflix, video games, doom scrolling and sleeping late are all higher priorities for you. 3) "I'm too lazy to utilize alternate ways to obtain financing." Uh, have we not heard of credit cards? Personal loans? Business lines of credit? Selling clothes or other gently-used items on Poshmark, Ebay, or Facebook Marketplace? Many WILDLY successful entrepreneurs funded their ventures with DEBT before they made it big because they believed that one day they WOULD make it back in spades. How bad do you REALLY want it? Bad enough to stop using the Mack Daddy of all excuses? Let's find out. Hit up to set up your complimentary DISS-covery call. #voiceover #voiceovers #voicetalent

  An Open Letter to the United States Postal Service Dear USPS, Thank you for changing your shipping rates again. We sellers were becoming dangerously comfortable. Some of us had gone nearly two weeks without rebuilding our shipping calculations, changing listing policies or trying to explain to buyers why mailing a pair of jeans now requires a degree in advanced mathematics. Fortunately, you have rescued us from that stability. On June 22, you suddenly lowered Ground Advantage rates for many packages weighing three to five pounds. It was a strange decision that made some heavier packages cheaper to mail than lighter ones, but we foolishly assumed there might be a plan behind it. Then came another collection of rate changes on July 12. Now, effective July 25, you have raised those three-to-five-pound rates by ten cents—with roughly one day’s notice. Apparently, this particular increase didn’t require the usual public rate-change process because it involved special USPS Connect eCommerce pricing. That is a wonderfully convenient arrangement. You can call something a “negotiated discount,” alter it whenever the wind changes direction and leave eBay to tell sellers after we have already priced thousands of listings around it. Very clever. The ten cents isn’t the real problem. The problem is that nobody running a business can depend upon a shipping system whose prices are apparently being adjusted with the same careful planning used by a gas station changing the numbers on its roadside sign. Sellers need predictable costs. Buyers need understandable shipping charges. Marketplaces need enough notice to update their calculators properly. What we receive instead is another announcement explaining that yesterday’s rates are no longer today’s rates—but not to worry, because everything will update automatically. How comforting. Perhaps USPS could publish a schedule showing when it plans to reconsider, reverse, adjust, fine-tune or partially undo its latest pricing brainstorm. If no schedule exists, a spinning prize wheel would work equally well: Congratulations! This week, three-pound packages cost less than ten-ounce packages! Come back next week to see what five pounds costs! Rural ZIP code? Sorry—different game entirely! USPS is supposed to be a national delivery service, not an airline fare calculator. Sellers should not need to check postage rates every morning before listing an item, wondering whether the price changed overnight or whether yesterday’s “special discount” has quietly become today’s “small adjustment.” Please choose a rate structure, explain it clearly, provide reasonable notice and leave it alone long enough for the people using your service to operate an actual business. Or don’t. At this rate, we’ll probably receive another announcement correcting this one before the ink dries. Sincerely, An eBay seller who would merely like the cost of mailing a package to remain predictable for more than fifteen minutes

  20th Century Boxing: Icons, Memories & More (@20thCentBoxIMM) reported 53 minutes ago

  Flash Gordon's weekly newsletter features Leroy Haley on its cover on July 26, 1982. Haley had won the WBC Junior Welterweight Title on June 26th with a 15-round split decision over Saoul Mamby in Ohio. Gordon's newsletters were among the finest boxing coverage around and he was an MSG mainstay on fight nights back when boxing was part of New York's, America's, and the world's sporting mainstream. ---------------------------------------------------------- From the Malcolm “Flash” Gordon Tribute by Eric Bottjer in 2014: One of boxing’s most important journalists passed recently. Malcolm “Flash” Gordon, approximately 66, a literal recluse the past 30 years, is gone. No surviving relatives are known. No former friends had seen him in years, despite his occupying the same Queens apartment for more than 40 years, until his death. From 1968 to 1986, “Flash” published, edited, and was the primary writer for “Tonight’s Boxing Program,” a weekly newsletter that contained more insight, humor, gossip and innuendo in one issue than any boxing publication of the same time could produce in one year. Flash was a guerrilla warrior, selling his issues outside events in New York and Philadelphia and neither giving nor receiving any favors (gifts, meals, etc. ) from anyone in the business. Flash broke two major stories – the fixed ABC TV United States championships tournament promoted by Don King in 1977 (which garnered him little credit and no money); Flash also was the sole shrill voice stating SOMETHING was wrong with Harold Smith’s MAPS promotions, that they were losing millions of dollars a month. Writers with much better resources somehow ignored the obvious, content to attend shows which turned out to be financed with embezzled millions from Wells Fargo (21. 5 million, the largest such bank theft in U. S. history). Flash lost heart in the mid 1980’s. His publication came out sporadically at the end. A promised 1986 record book never materialized. He simply disappeared. For years after, there were occasional rumors. He was spotted in the New York Public Library reading old newspapers. Don King – or one of his henchman – had done away with him (people actually considered this ridiculous notion). I never met Flash, nor spoke to him. While living in Europe in 1980, he sent me a sample copy of TBP. I subscribed immediately. It was a must-read and his work ethic and instincts were formidable. At the end, six years later, paranoia had seeped into his writing – and his mind. About twelve years ago, Jack Obermayer and I staked out Flash’s apartment. We waited in a car for about 90 minutes until I felt silly enough to go in and knock on his door. Jack called to him – we heard something – not a voice, but something made noise. Flash never answered. And in 2009, luck. I ordered a St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sunday magazine – a cover story on Leon Spinks – on Ebay for $5. The sender was Malcolm Gordon from Queens, New York. I wrote him a brief letter, stating that I was a former subscriber, that I loved the issues, etc. The new quicktype keyboard even features multi-touch gestures for moving the cursor around or selecting text. A week later, a 3-paragraph reply. Perfectly sane, thanking me for writing him, briefly explaining that he quit producing TBP because boxing had devolved as a business and that the competition was getting worse (the IBF was fairly new, producing a then-ridiculous three world champions in an increasing number of weight classes). I don’t know how a person can live literally alone for 30 years. But I know this: Flash Gordon was an important boxing writer in the 20th century. He should be in the New York Boxing Hall of Fame (not that he would have wanted or attended induction, but, hey, he’s gone now, so it won’t offend him).

  @AngelDTheSpider @NovineLeaks Apparently he got enough money via TikTok that he decided to buy the Switch 2. The funny part is that he got one of the Day 1 editions via eBay which is full of scalpers who thought the Switch 2 was the next hot ticket item. The problem with the Switch 2 at launch was the lack of a killer app with the system. The crazy part was that Walmart and other retailers had them on hand. You have to remember at the time of the Switch 2 being released the Steam Deck was already out for about a year or so at that point.

  Dear @eBay and @USPS I can not contact a human via eBay app. I sell a high volume of sports cards via standard envelope service via eBay. USPS doesn’t scan until not scan until delivery if at all. Which has ruined my top rated status and has opened me up to a high volume of item not received complaints. A percentage of which I suspect are fraudulent. Please advise. Ship with 1 business day service but I often ship same day. Why offer this if I’m gonna be penalized for things out of my control. This has only become a problem in the last few months. Please like and repost if you have had the same problem as a high volume standard envelope service user on @eBay .

  The best decision PayPal ever made came out of a fierce disagreement between its two top leaders. Max Levchin wanted to send money between Palm Pilots.  Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and said so, clearly and directly. Neither backed down easily. Neither softened the message for the sake of harmony. Out of that clash came a pivot to email money transfers that eventually led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things happen.
