Ashesofundead (@Ashesofundead) reported@JamesBryhan I won't be quieting down on this. I used to spend over 500+ a month on Amazon and had prime, but I canceled my subscription and stopped using Amazon. Now I'm going to ebay or even hitting up local shops I wouldn't have given a second thought to before. I want this Stargate show to come back, immediately. Only then will I turn back to amazon

Nanosaur Enthusiast (@NanosaurFan1999) reported@molemancoyote Yes! An old Samsung 40” I got used for super cheap 10+ years back because the previous owners had somehow snapped all the HDMI ports off 😭 Replaced the broken board with one off eBay for 30$ and it’s worked great ever since!

yurshev (@yurshevv) reportedeveryone thinks 3d printers make toys. nobody's running the margins. my oven handle broke last month. not the oven. the handle. a piece of plastic smaller than my thumb. hardware store wanted $38 plus shipping. three to five days for that. so i downloaded a free file instead. hit print. walked away. two hours later it was sitting on my desk. cost me $0.30. fine, that's a nice trick. saves you a few bucks on appliance parts. cute. but that's not why i'm writing this. i kept digging and found something that changed how i see the whole machine. somewhere online, someone is selling a single plastic gear for $18. not a toy. not a novelty print. a replacement gear for an $800 espresso machine that cracked after four years. the manufacturer discontinued that model in 2023. no parts on ebay. the repair shop just says buy a new one. so the owner finds this listing instead. pays $18 without blinking. cost to print that gear: $0.11. think about that for a second. the buyer isn't comparing $18 to a slab of plastic. they're comparing $18 to an $800 machine heading to the trash. that's not a purchase. that's a reflex. now multiply that gear by every discontinued fridge clip, every broken vacuum latch, every washing machine **** nobody makes anymore. one file. sold hundreds of times. zero inventory. zero factory. one person doing this at a comfortable pace pulls 8 to 12 orders a day. about $5,460 a month. roughly $4,800 of that stays as profit. right to repair laws already passed across the eu and a dozen us states. search volume for "[appliance] replacement part" is up 340% since 2022. people are done throwing out machines over a $0.11 piece of plastic. they just can't find who's selling it. i already know who's not going to be the one selling it. you spent this whole post deciding whether to keep scrolling.

herschel🧢 (@herschcox) reported@CardPurchaser first time eBay seller question. Does eBay not automatically give buyers tracking information? I got a request for a refund for a non delivery but when I looked it up it was clearly a USPS side issue. Was this guy scamming me or did I not provide the information?

Xee is Gonna Die 🌲🐝 (@XylaTheSilkwing) reported@scarsnsilver I ordered the cd soundtrack on eBay separately (I don’t own CE) and it came in a regular broken game case 😭 I have them though!

Clector (@clectorapp) reported@DKSports And the card market totally forgot he's still this guy. A two-time Cy Young, and deGrom trades at a $6.81 average across just 56 eBay tracked sales in 90 days, with not one card clearing $100. Years of injuries gutted his market down to common-box prices. If the healthy, dominant version is back for good, that's about as low as a future Hall of Famer's floor ever gets.

dnap (@dnapway) reportedStubHub CEO Eric Baker's history is pretty interesting. He's basically the Napoleon of ticket reselling - co-founded StubHub in 2000 - left the company 4 years later after a dispute with his co-founder - founded his own European secondary ticket sales platform - somewhere along the way began operating Andro / Colloquy Capital -StubHub gets bought by eBay for ~$300M in 2007 - Eric buys back StubHub from eBay for $4 billion in 2020 -IPO at a $8.6B marketcap (stock down >50% since then)

Polsia (@polsia) reportedRetailers lose sales every time a competitor undercuts them and they do not notice. PriceEdge monitors competitor prices across Amazon, eBay, Shopify—and automatically adjusts yours to stay competitive. Stop losing deals to slow manual pricing. Live soon.

MarketswithMay (@marketswithmay) reported@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?

mako (@guycalmdown) reported@v4mp1r3bit3 I think all those old bam adio shoes suffer from that, ive seen a ton on ebay with the same issue and they still go for a lot sadly

Orion (@0xOrionVega) reportedTWO USED EPYC ROMES. 768GB OF DDR4. ZERO GPUs. ONE BASEMENT RIG RUNNING DEEPSEEK V3 671B WITHOUT A DATACENTER'S PERMISSION. Nobody talks about this setup and I don't know why. A used dual-socket EPYC Rome board with 768GB of registered ECC costs less than renting a single H100 for a week. I paid $2,400 on eBay. Guy shipped it in a box that used to hold a microwave. Loaded ktransformers, pinned the NUMA nodes properly, and now DeepSeek V3 671B runs at 8-12 tokens per second on my basement floor. No cloud. No rate limits. No "your prompt violates our terms." No data leaving the room. Everyone assumes local AI means a wall of 3090s. It doesn't. MoE models only activate ~37B parameters per token, so memory bandwidth carries the run, not raw compute. Server RAM has plenty of both if you wire it right. The wild part: as datacenters swap Rome for Turin, this gear is basically being given away. What cost $40k in 2022 is $3k on eBay now. Meanwhile the models keep getting better. I'm not a sysadmin. I'm not an ML engineer. I watched three YouTube videos and read one Reddit thread. If I can do this in a basement, the "you need a datacenter" narrative is cooked.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedRetailers are drowning in competitor pricing data but never have time to make sense of it. Built IntelliBrief to fix that. It monitors competitors across Amazon, eBay, and Google Shopping, alerts you to price changes, and delivers weekly briefs that tell you what actually

Common Amalek W/s (🇵🇸🇰🇵) (@Yhwachwasright) reported@Combat_Casuals Four, I do not think you are getting this through your head that I said a trusted eBay seller. Five the majority of this tweet was issue with the fact you have an affiliate link yet present yourself as a neutral collector. If you do not see a problem...

bostil PERDEU kikiki (@Vespa_Enxerida) reportedMy problem with eBay has been Shitzil's customs. Some idiot who works there returned the package without asking anyone. The last time I checked the tracking, it went to Australia

DK going to BK (@rkansas) reported@foxenflask RC added a synergy in GME & Ebay in collectables market where GME can certify & ship from local store. What he didn't mention is how cert and ship solves many scam issues, creates sales where buyers afraid walk away. Introduce a market for traders and another for collectors

Shannon Jean (@ShannonJean) reportedI have sold over $12 million worth of high-end watches. Here’s the thing: I’m not in the watch business; I know nothing about watches. Hell, I don’t even wear a watch. This is a story of opportunity. Read along, and I can show you how I did it and how you can, too. I was buying consumer electronics returns from a company with which I had built up a ton of credibility over the years. I always bought everything they had. I always paid on time. I never complained about small problems. I knew the opportunity with them was good, and I didn’t want to screw it up. Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. After a few years of buying, I got a call from a guy in another division of this business. Let’s call him Bob. Bob: “Hey, John says you are reliable. We have a problem in another division, and I wonder if you would be interested in a different product line?” Me, as I utter the four most powerful words in my vocabulary: “How can I help?” It seems that Bob had lost a buyer of a unique product line: high-end watches. The company was worried about selling its customer returns to a new buyer. I wasn’t new. and I possessed a unique attribute: Trust I had put in the time, energy, and money to build a relationship with their consumer electronics division. Did I mention I know nothing about watches? I still don’t. But I figured I could learn. Step 1: Get the deal. The deals are the hardest thing to find. Money to buy and customers to sell to – easy. Well, easier. The challenge with this product line that I knew nothing about was that it was a firehose. An instant multi-million-dollar business that I had to open wide and take on with little knowledge. So what did I do? I went on eBay, naturally. I found every watch seller I could find and started reaching out to them. I spoke to 87 people before I got to one guy who didn’t think I was nuts. Dimitri had his partner fly out to my office the next day. I showed him some samples, and we agreed on a markup for my services. We shook hands on the deal. Dimitri sent a wire transfer, and I shipped him the product. We’ve done over $12M worth of business on that handshake. About that markup. Here’s another secret to success: let other people make money off you. Since I knew there was little risk, it was pretty passive, and the volume would be high, I didn’t need to make much on each item. I kept my take very small so Dimitri could put the time and effort into building a sustainable business. This allowed me to focus on my other businesses while this “side hustle” paid for my kid's private school, bought my cars, and more. The key takeaways here: Opportunities handled well lead to more opportunities. Finding the deal is the most important thing. The most powerful phrase in the world: How can I help? Give me a follow @ShannonJean if this post resonates with you.

raiden (@raidenfomo) reportedTHIS WOMAN BUILT A $1,480 CUSTOM SERVER FOR A CALIFORNIA COMPANY THAT KILLED THEIR $5,000 A MONTH CLAUDE API BILL. The rack on her bench is a paid order. She builds these in Los Angeles from parts data centers threw out: a used Dell chassis from a data center liquidation sale in California, two Xeons, two 24GB Tesla P40s off eBay. NVIDIA sold each card for $5,700. She pays $180. Type Tesla P40 into eBay and sort by price: $150-250, thousands of them. $1,480 in parts, Ollama for free, 20 minutes to set up. A 32B model runs inside the office and nothing the company sends leaves the building. The client's software was firing thousands of calls a day at Claude: sorting documents, tagging tickets, drafting replies. $5,000 a month in API bills. Most of those calls never needed the top model. Now everything hits the box first, and only the hard ones still go out to Claude. The bill dropped to $840. The box eats electricity and nothing else. Three companies are waiting in the queue behind this one. Your own version starts with one $180 card in a spare slot. For herself she bought a $599 Mac mini. It runs a 14B model in silence, adds $4 a month to the power bill, and covers everything she used to pay $300 a month in subscriptions for. Paid for itself on the second billing date. She builds full racks for companies. Her own AI is the size of a sandwich, and it's enough. Save this while used 24GB cards still go for $180.
