  @SaveETopps @benembry at first I did not notice a drop, but what's ******* me is that extra quarter. all my 39-cent cards are becoming 14-cent cards to ensure they get crosslisted to eBay. so volume is the same. dollars is down.

  24 Week Recap Days 1-168 Total sales: $76,640.83 Buy cost (COG): $13,032.02 eBay earnings: $44,325.71 Net profit: $31,293.69 ROI: 240% 168 days ago I decided to track every single sale. Not just revenue. Not just the exciting flips. Every dollar that came in. Every dollar spent on inventory. Every profit calculation. Every lesson. These numbers weren't built from one viral product or one lucky auction. They came from hundreds of individual sourcing decisions across dozens of categories. Printer supplies, automotive parts, electronics, industrial equipment, appliance parts, commercial tools, home goods, &d everything in between. Some days I sold three items. Some days I sold thirteen. Some days were over $1,000 in sales. Some days were much smaller. The important part wasn't having perfect days. It was continuing to source, list, & improve every single day. One thing this journey has reinforced is that the buying decision determines almost everything. When you consistently purchase inventory with enough margin, you're better equipped to handle fees, shipping costs, offers, & even the occasional broken/non working item while still building a profitable business. The goal has never been to hit a home run every day. It's to stack enough singles that, over time, they become something meaningful. After 168 days, those singles have become: $76,640.83 in sales $31,293.69 in realized profit 240% ROI And this is still just the beginning. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. Most people overestimate what one day can do and underestimate what 168 days of consistency can do.

  I'm extremely excited to see the detailed $GME x $EBAY presentation, whenever it is ready I'm positive it will fix the "credibility" gap the eBay board cited as a reason for rejection of the acquisition proposal I'm also certain this time there will be a stronger financial backing commitment. I also believe this presentation will serve as a strong sales pitch to current eBay shareholders, who Ryan will be targeting with the presentation to solicit support in his leadership over eBay. I expect detailed insights into the collectibles market, crypto treasury reserve value and potential use-case, and expanded insights into the plan to utilize GameStop stores for authentication and efficient grading services There should also be a summary of Ryan's achievements from Chewy to GameStop and his shareholder alignment, with zero salary and staking his own capital as evidence. The question is how the mainstream media will try and spin the presentation as negative and not-serious 🤔

  A stupid simple way to start a SaaS: Few years ago (at a conference), people asked me how I manage my own business. I told them I have software that automatically runs 100 eBay accounts for me. They wondered and asked how they could use it for their own businesses too. I told them, “It's not open to the public, but let's stay in touch.” I got their phone numbers. Added them to my WhatsApp. Saved them as a list: eBay 1, eBay 2, eBay 3. I started to build the software for them. I asked them: if I release it, would you use it? They said yes. We went public with a better version for a few weeks for free, and then straight away started charging. So if you're starting now: 1. Build a tool that solves your own problem. 2. Talk to people with the same problem. 3. Let them use your solution for free. 5. Build what they ask for. 6. Charge. You already know your first step. Go do that one.

  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

  I known about that for over 20 years. And not only that but I bought a Japanese PS2 off of ebay like 3 years ago. And I have a Japanese Nintendo 64, as well as a Super Famicom. I traded in my Sega Nomad and Sega Genesis decades ago. Also take into account the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PS1. So I still can play Japanese Playstation games from the 1990's without a problem.

  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

  As a former Leatherman guy, I am very sad to see this whole Garage thing. The whole notion of "limited run" is an anathema to the actual concept of tools. A tool is an item to be used. It exists because it does a job, and if you are actually doing that job and relying on a tool, having it be some precious totschki that you cannot replace is a form of torture. Some tools are precious by their nature. The job they do requires certain materials, certain features that are hard to manufacture, levels of precision that require great care, etc. Combined with the fact that these are often low-demand specialty items, they are treated with great care. My metrology standards are like this; a square piece of granite held to under 1µm of error across all dimensions is an expensive and delicate instrument that is painful to replace! I don't whip it out to check every part, and it lives in a custom foam Pelican case it gets removed from only 5-6 times a year. It is an intrinsically valuable and precious object. The Garage schtick, and all the various "special edition" tools/knives/EDC gear is synthetic preciousness. By hyping up sprint runs, tool makers juice the numbers and churn a quick extra buck either directly or through the power of a little marketing hype. But every time they do this, they remove the seriousness from their work! They lose focus on quality, or effective design/engineering for the mission, they damage the essence of the core transition between the customer and the maker; that the maker is here to build things to make your life quantifiably better through solving problems you have. When I was at Leatherman many years ago, I had a meeting with the product design team. Sort of at the end as we were BS-ing around, I got very serious for a minute and said, "I know everything is getting re-thought, but for the love of the gods... keep the Crunch and if you touch it, be super careful about actually making it better." We talked about the Crunch for about 20 minutes. On Leatherman's own factory floor, I would say the majority of workers carried a Crunch. Alas, under 10 years later... The Crunch is gone. It went out in a blaze of Garage glory; one "final" run of old-stock, retooled with different finishes and moved out the door at 2x the price. Standard Crunches are on eBay for $350 in mint condition. The Garage "Captain Crunch" is trading at $700. That means I can no longer use my Crunch. I'm not carrying around a $500 tool in my pocket and actually using it as intended. By playing dumb demand *** *** games, Leatherman has effectively made every Crunch in existence a precious commodity well under the natural market demand - if they just went out of production because nobody was buying them, they would be $50 to find a used replacement and I could carry on Crunching things without having to treat the one I own as a precious commodity to be fretted over and worried about. This is the essence of tool makers going from a focus on improving the lives of everyday users into these bullshit "lifestyle" brands, and I find it very sad that we are losing things we won't understand the value of until they are gone and sold on eBay for 10x the price. Many such cases.

  Dear @ryancohen, A real eBay experience… I ordered about $168 worth of coffee from Amazon. They shipped the wrong flavor. I opened the app on my iPhone expecting to start a return. Instead, Amazon instantly refunded me and basically said, “Keep the coffee.” So now I have four cases of coffee. I figured I’d sell them on eBay. The AI listing was actually pretty slick. It recognized the product immediately and even suggested a price. Then I got stuck. The AI wanted to create a listing for all 4 cases (about $147 total). What I wanted was 1 case for $37.69 with a quantity of 4 available. I couldn’t figure out how to do that, and the app wouldn’t let me switch to a manual listing instead of using AI. I messed with it on my phone for way longer than I should have before giving up. I canceled the listing, figured I’d ask AI how to get around it later, and then got distracted. So… the coffee is still sitting in my house. To be fair, Amazon basically handed me free money, and eBay would let me create four separate listings if I wanted. I just think it’s a better experience for buyers who want multiple cases, better for sellers who don’t want to jump through extra hoops (or ship four separate orders), and probably better for eBay too. Anyway… when you take over eBay, can you have someone look into this? I’m guessing it’s an easy fix. Thanks, Cognito

  @MoonPieDreams @FoxyRed2025 Not at all, I think you have interpreted it wrong. I don’t throw money at eBay but that’s up to you really if that’s what you generally take from my posts I’m not really going to try and change your mind as it’s fairly irrelevant to me. I know my passion for gaming, been doing it since I was around 7 and I’m in my 40s now. Somebody unhappy with my gaming videos isn’t really going to bother me too much. I certainly don’t gain followers from those posts, they generally don’t even do that well with views. If I cared about that then there is more cost effective ways of gaining followers but what I have gained is some decent mates on here. Some I’ve added to PSN, some I’ve helped with orders they were having delivery issues with and others through the purchase of a console and getting it working. If I was only interested in followers rather than contributing and supporting others in the community then I wouldn’t bother.

  [WHY I MADE A TRADING CARD APP AT 16 Y/O + What the app is] About a year ago, my best friend and I got back into Pokémon cards because of the new hype cycle around modern cards. After entering a completely different field of Pokémon from when we were kids, we realized everything wrong with card shows, eBay, scalping, and the limitations of the hobby. Originally, we wanted to create a marketplace with 0% fees, however, we soon realized that buying and selling wasn't the problem. The problem was trading: 1. eBay and card shows take huge chunks of value when you try sell cards 2. The reason people sell their cards is just to buy more cards (an infinite cycle of fees that decrease the value of your collection) 3. If you want to trade (at a card show or a shop), your cards will only be valued at around 70-80% 4. There's no way to trade online 5. There's no safe or pure way to find other collectors for trading (only options are social media or Facebook Marketplace) So, we made Utopia (naming it after the "perfect destination" for collectors), where collectors can find other collectors in their area that have the cards they want for 0% fees.

  Milk Road AI (@MilkRoadAI) reported 59 minutes ago

  Nobody made money owning the internet, everybody made money building on top of it (Save this). That's @friedberg argument because Netscape built the first browser and server software, charged for both, went public, then got wiped out once open source alternatives showed up. Mozilla built Firefox for free, Google built Chrome for free, Apache gave away server software so anyone could get online without paying a toll. The value didn't vanish, it just moved off the gatekeepers and onto everyone building on top, Google, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, and millions of small businesses that never could have existed otherwise. Friedberg's claim is that AI is following the same script. If open models keep closing the gap with proprietary ones, value stops concentrating in two or three labs and spreads across every company building on top of it and the data backs this up. Stanford's 2026 AI Index found the gap between the best closed model and the best open model has shrunk to about 3.3%, down from double digits two years ago. Chinese open models now account for 41% of downloads on Hugging Face over the past year and more than 30% of Fortune 500 companies have verified accounts pulling models straight from that ecosystem. Enterprise sentiment backs it too, 41% of organizations say they'd drop proprietary models entirely once open ones hit parity, and another 41% are expanding open source usage regardless. The market already got a preview of this snapping into place. DeepSeek's open weight model release in January 2025 wiped close to $600 billion off Nvidia's market cap in a single day. That's what Chamath means by value capture evaporating in months, not decades. A sector with what looked like permanent pricing power turned out to have a shelf life measured in product cycles. Where this gets uncomfortable is capex and if enterprises can get most of what they need from a free open model on their own hardware, the case for endlessly compounding training spend weakens. Analysts have flagged this as a risk that isn't priced into current capex forecasts, precisely because open models keep closing the gap faster than commercial labs are widening it.
