  @BoilerPaulie Its not that serious. Its a terrible deal for ebay holders. Even if he achieves all his cost cutting synergies, the debt load makes the yield horrendous.

  @tm1515152005 If selling a card for under $20, use eBay Standard Shipping. It costs around $1 to $2. You are insured up to $20 if anything happens to the card. There are a lot of issues with tracking these, they typically say "delivered" a few days earlier, and buyers become confused.

  @CartersCorner21 @WSJ What? GME's board is full of slackers. Revenue is down 60% since 2017 and it's dying a slow, painful and brutal death. Ebay doesn't need Cohen, Cohen needs Ebay or some pivot cuz that revenue be shrinking.

  DC Universe doesn't have every single issue of Superman in existence. What if I'm in the mood to read the Bronze Age? What if the comic stores I go to have none of the issues I want? And if they're on eBay yet crazy expensive, what do you want to do then?

  @MattxH @Coach_Swales @Stonkfather2021 This is terrible financial advice, please don't follow this anyone. Standard arbitrage is short the acquirer, long the target. Hence why eBay is up and GME down. If you buy eBay your upside is limited if deal does go through and downside is massive if it doesn't.

  I asked last week, How do you price this? (eBay + GameStop) There are a lot of models you can try to build but ultimately I think it only really matters for me if I capture Wallstreet's sentiment. Because as I wrote in some longwinded post a few weeks back, they will have an algo parse the filing on deal close and "price" the deal by selling it to that level in the extended market when we can't trade. We have seen this repeatedly lately, that's how this whole thing works. So my model will essentially be wrong automatically because I don't know how the street models these things precisely. And they will absolutely pin the price immediately to what they think is "fair value," via sell action. Then as new details emerge and quarterly progress on optimization and such happens, they'll evaluate the balance sheet and price it again. And again. And again. For anybody that watched my videos, they must laugh, because in 2022 I was so optimistic all the time. Then I watched them price it to $10 and I was humbled. I simply didn't know how aggressively they could price a target down. And so I learned a measure of respect. But then I got excited again and bought in the 30s when Roaring Kitty came back and was re-humbled when we got priced back to the teens. And even with all our balance sheet improvements, our fortress of cash, our operational profit, and our collectibles pivot, I was re-humbled again in late November and December twice. Again, back to the teens. Does it mean we are destined to always price back to the teens? No, it simply means somebody felt compelled to price the stock down for whatever reason. Maybe they sensed weakness. Maybe there was sell side pressure post warrant issuance. Maybe options interest collapsed post Q3 earnings. I don't exactly know why we mark down so badly sometimes or mark up so much other times. So I don't know the model to even use today on GameStop even though I recently said I like knowns and feel I know current dog-form version GameStop. So how can I model a totally new thing? I know I'll mess it up just like I messed up cash per floor several times and still don't feel super confident in it today. So for the time being I'm not settled on any particular model. I see the word accretive thrown around a ton. This deal could work out to be accretive in the sense that per share value could go up over the long term, yes. eBay has value that can be unlocked at scale, so the shareholder value would spill over to us as GME holders post deal optimization period. Does that mean it moves in a straight line? No. Could we compress back to some mark down that represents paying for eBay at premium + cash drag on 20b in loans + unoptimized eBay? Seems likely to me. What's the mark down look like? How fast could Cohen unlock value, deleverage, etc? Well a very simple model would be something like this, Imagine he does de-leverage the 20b loan very quickly. If the combined company has 1.6b shares (even that is unknown), simple division shows: $20,000,000,000 / 1,600,000,000 = $12.50 dollars per share That means if Ryan Cohen and leadership can cost cut super fast, pour operation profit into the loan and pay the balance down, liabilities drop off by $12.50 a share. That's what he means by "not running it hot." That's what I personally mean by paying off your mortgage as fast as possible. Leverage and margin are terrible. That's why eBay leadership doesn't want this deal right now. $20 billion financed at 7 or 8% corporate rate is enormous drag on profitability that they don't currently have. But again, if he can work magic and pay it off very quickly, Assets - Liabilities = Shareholder Equity. Drop liabilities by $20 billion and you immediately increase shareholder equity by $20 billion or $12.50 a share. So while I don't know the immediate post deal compression price, I see a post leverage price as +$12.50. Because that's just basic mathematics. And that is certainly accretive. Because increasing share price on GameStop by $12.50 for leadership is significantly harder right now. That would take something like 5-10 years at current rate using a fundamentals analysis. There just isn't any fat left to cut and while we are making $600m a year or whatever, 600/488 = $1.23 a year. But post deal, to me, looks ugly. People want to do models like: GME $11b Market Cap + EBAY $55b = $66b Doesn't work like that. or, GME $23 a share + EBAY = X Doesn't work like that. You have to do it how the street is doing it and they'll use some formula based on revenue, earnings, assets, liabilities, etc. And the deal burns our assets. The deal burns our earnings (loan coupon). The deal burns our shareholder equity. The deal likely adds something like $25 billion or more in Goodwill to the balance sheet because otherwise shareholder equity would actually be negative. And I am not a fan of goodwill. It is why GameStop was overvalued when it was recklessly acquiring bad companies in 2014 and why it got marked down so badly when they dropped all the goodwill in 2019 or so. Goodwill is, imho, nonsense financial wizardly meant to make assets - liabilities = shareholder equity still make sense on paper when it simply doesn't because of destructive acquisitions. Not to say this is a bad deal, not at all. It is a fine deal if and only if Ryan Cohen can land it at the stated price or better and immediately extract at least $20 billion in savings to de-leverage. Because that right sizes the balance sheet, makes the phantom $12+ in goodwill share value real and protects our downside. I watch tickers all day where stocks trade at 100 PE or 10 PE. Sure, the street could love this deal, ignore the goodwill, and send this thing (up). But I don't know how to model that either. I don't know the rationale for why they send some stocks and not others. For example, Best Buy is trading in the gutter but the balance sheet is fine. Shareholder equity is fine. It isn't in any sort of fiscal distress. But it is out of favor, so it trades at a very low multiple. Meanwhile, name any other stock right now and it might have negative EPS, negative shareholder equity, and be weeks from insolvency, but trading at 40 PE. Why? No clue. So on this one, I have to assume for the immediate term, as much as GameStop would now be 75% eBay 25% GameStop, it would trade post deal a bit out of favor still. Because for whatever reason, we trade as an underdog. How badly do they compress it? Do they respect goodwill or simply ignore it? Do we trade at 30b market cap or 40? Or 50? You can build 20 different models and they will all sound great on paper. Then you'll wake up in the pre market and be trading at 16.50 or 21.50 or 32.50 and be like, Oh obviously. But it really isn't obvious at all, it is totally subjective. And the player with all the ability to price it, all the economic leverage in the world, is going to apply some model to it that is totally different than Best Buy or PayPal or whatever and they'll have all the logical reasoning for whatever it is they do. And we'll just be a leaf on a river wondering why we couldn't see where we were going. So it isn't that I can't price the post deal. I can. 20 different ways. And all of them will be wrong. So do your own modeling however you want, read others' models, and be skeptical of them all. Because at this point we don't even know the final terms. Assuming the deal closes, and I honestly believe it will, just in a long while, because closing on a house takes a long time let alone a 55b company, Is $125 per eBay share the final accepted offer? 50% cash still? 20b in debt? At what coupon (interest rate)? 50% stock still? At what conversion? And is there any other angle we're missing here? Suppose, just for the sake of pure hopium, Cohen has outside backing in the form of a large institutional presence that wants to do a block equity finance deal where they take something like a $20b interest in the new company via common or preferred stock. Well that changes everything immediately. And that isn't altogether that unrealistic. So it is very hard to model this right now. Be careful but have fun with it. Will it immediately send the stock? Very hard to say. But it certainly gives room for immediate upside improvement via debt paydown. And I do like that along with the other things Ryan Cohen is talking about. Because right now upside movement from a fundamentals perspective, on GameStop's balance sheet, is not bad, it is just slow. This could be fast and people want fast. But it could be volatile... I just hope people understand why.

  @pineda30308 We're really just watching market mechanics at work right now. Arb trading Ebay, it goes up, we go down. Then in June more of those bond hedges will get unwound... Cohen would almost certainly add to his GME position next month if it was under $20 at that point. So basically, who knows what price does in the next few weeks... I'm just loading at prior support levels because it makes the most sense.

  @bkj_brad @yanxchick The fake card problem is honestly why I'm skeptical of eBay for anything graded. Between fake PSA certs and people pulling bait-and-switch on auctions, it's playing roulette with your money. Sellers eat 15% fees and still get burned by buyers sending empty boxes back.

  @Han_Akamatsu except $EBAY since its up when $GME is down after declining offer it likely means deal is going through or they now want to keep prices elevated just in case to keep GME from buying for cheaper. even though ebay isn't worth 125

  For accounts with limited seller history, fewer than 25 completed sales, or no prior successful sales in sports memorabilia/autographs, @eBay should apply a separate category exposure limit to auction-style listings in high-risk memorabilia categories. This should not be a simple account-wide dollar limit. It should be based on the combination of: account age; seller feedback count; prior sales in the same category; number of active memorabilia listings; auction format; use of high-risk athlete names; use of third-party COA keywords; starting price far below expected market value; multiple similar jerseys or signed items listed in a short window. The rule should not stop a normal low-history seller from listing one inherited signed jersey. It should stop an account with no meaningful memorabilia history from listing ten Tom Brady / Michael Jordan / Ohtani / Messi-style memorabilia auctions while also keeping a cheap notebook active as a low-risk account signal. For collectors, there is not a perfect manual defense here. A buyer can avoid obvious low-history seller red flags and run certificate numbers through @CheckCOA , but the better fix has to happen at the platform-risk level.

  Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported 36 minutes ago

  This is a good callout - eBay provides some tools to manage who can buy/bid but blocking 0 feedback buyers isn't on list. While it's understandable eBay doesn't want to discourage new buyers, it's also a real problem for sellers especially on high $/high fraud risk items. It should be at seller's discretion on per item basis.

  A $12 billion company tried to buy a $55 billion company. eBay said no in under a week. The lopsided M&A math is the most interesting financial story of the day. Ryan Cohen's GameStop submitted a $125 per share takeover bid for eBay. Total deal value: $56 billion, 50% cash and 50% GameStop stock. eBay's board rejected it on Tuesday calling the proposal "neither credible nor attractive." The basic problem with the bid was visible from the moment it landed. GameStop has roughly $12 billion in market cap. The cash half of the deal alone would require $28 billion. GameStop's balance sheet holds approximately $9 billion in cash plus Bitcoin treasury, with maybe $5 billion more available through debt issuance at junk rating. The actual financing capacity didn't get close to the bid size. What was actually happening here. Ryan Cohen has built his career on meme-stock activism. The GameStop bid for eBay reads as a credibility play, not a realistic acquisition attempt. Cohen wins by getting eBay's board to engage, generating coverage that drives GameStop trading volume, and possibly extracting a smaller asset sale at favorable terms. eBay didn't bite. Their rejection letter was three pages of cold technical analysis listing every reason the deal couldn't close. The structural read. Meme-stock M&A is becoming a recognized strategic playbook. Cohen, Carl Icahn's Activist Era, and the various crypto-backed corporate raid attempts of 2023 to 2025 all share the same pattern. Use stock market enthusiasm to mount audacious bids that wouldn't survive traditional financing diligence. eBay won this round. The next round will look exactly like this one. The financial system hasn't priced how often this is going to happen.
