Señor Esperanto (@les7512) reported@ResonanceEnter1 Dude, Ryan Cohen and Gamestop are buying up all the vehicles the establishment uses to launder money and steal from the American people, aren't they? How did I not put 2 and 2 together? I mean Wall Street was abusing the **** out of Bitcoin to destroy our investments. It was too easy for them to hide all their ***** trades and other tricks that emptied our pockets. All I saw in the media was "Bitcoin will be $200,000 at the end of 2026, and $500,000 in 3 years. We'll see $1,000,000 within 10 years!!!" I saw this everywhere and stayed away from it simply because it was the mainstream media pushing it. And then Gamestop announces it bought a bunch of Bitcoin lol. And what happens right then? Bitcoin crashes and does not recover. It still hovers down near $60,000. And the mainstream media suddenly goes quiet. I see nothing like i saw before. No longer pushing the "Bitcoin will make you rich" narrative at all. I then hear all this shadey stuff about EBAY and once again seems like something the elite are using to rob us blind. And you see the stock climbing and outperforming way more than it should be. So Gamestop announces it has bought 10% of EBAY and offers to buy it outright. What is happening? Lol it is crashing! I think the same think is happening with PSA and Pokémon. Gamestop is buying up all their vehicles used to do their ***** deeds. If they keep using them it will put money directly into Gamestop...which is the only company owned retail. Institutions own everything else...except Gamestop. Holy ****, their game is about to stop. Its bringing power to the people, I mean players. It was right in front of my face this whole time. And what is going to happen when the public finally sees this??? It will be insanely hard to get people to buy Gamestop because most of the general public is retarded and if the mainstream media doesnt directly tell them that Gamestop is good, they wont do it. Even though most people "think" they dont fall for the mainstream media narratives, they do. They will only do what the establishment tells them to do. But Gamestop is doing it slowly with a small portion of the public and it is working. This is hilarious to watch.

Qwerty17 (@Qwerty175805078) reported@VKs_Host I ebay vintage memorabilia & have the option of using an AI description but it can't possibly know what it needs to about a unique physical object that has no exact copy. That's my problem with AI & I cant imagine a time when it can ever know what it needs to know about each item

Michael Bushe 💙🧘♂️🌎⚾ (@michaelbushe) reportedIt's a lot of tried and true common sense rules that have withstood the test if time and has worked for me for a long time. When I first started using 25 years ago I was working at an investment firm. Traders making millions trading billions would come to my desk to ask me for software for this or that. I asked them what they thought of IBD and they said, "Yeah that's basically what we do." They don't follow stocks down, they don't catch a falling knife. The most important part to me is that it filters all stocks to the cream of the crop. You wouldn't see SPCX there, it only lists the most profitable stocks. I pick stock that in the 90th percentile in profitability and 80th for growth. I don't pick stocks with C or D ratings for institutional investments - if the big boys are done buying, it's going nowhere. They should be in a hot sector, which they track and leaders in their sector. You don't buy at any time. Stocks are that are on their third base (jump) aren't going to jump three times more. Buying at cup-with-handle points - and they tell you which ones are (often you have to pay for the subscription to get the latest). I don't pay them big subscription fees, I wait until I get a $20 for 3 months deal or something when I am ready to rotate my stocks. I only trade a handful of stocks. I used to just buy the Saturday edition for $1 at the corner store and circle the stocks I understood and looked good in the IBD 100 and go from there. I've been tremendously successful at investing when using it and not so much when I don't. I hit so many double and triples on their recommendations - combined with my sense of the world. I bought MELI - LATAM's ebay - for like $55. It's now like $1500. LULU and KORS were 300% gains- betting on women overpaying for clothes and bags is generally a winner. So I usually filter their filter with my senses of the market, especially the tech market. This is the Peter Lynch strategy - "invest in what you know." That's how I sold GOOG at $399 this year, it's $350 now. I know they're chatbots sucks compared to their competitors. They do have some great AI in Robotics but that's not going to show profits for a while.

Randy Treibel (@RandyTreibel) reported@resellerrowe @DestinLabs The reason I ask is this guy gets literally a dozen of these sent to him as scrap a day and I feel like there’s gotta be parts we can strip and slap on eBay, but he doesn’t know anything about e-commerce and tech. He’s a simple fix it and scrap it guy and he’s amazing at it.

Zely (@0xZely) reportedElon Musk had already made $200 million and was burning through it to keep three companies alive. He explained exactly how in a 45-minute closed-door talk at Stanford in 2003. The recording is on YouTube. Almost no founder has watched it in a decade. Today Musk is worth roughly $400 billion. That is a 2,000x personal net worth increase in twenty-two years. The talk in this video is Musk explaining, from age 32, exactly how he intended to survive the next few years long enough to make it happen. At the time he had three companies. Zip2 had already been sold to Compaq for $307 million. PayPal had just been sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. SpaceX was one year old and burning cash. He was worth roughly $200 million and had just committed the majority of it to keeping SpaceX alive. The 2003 Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner recording is 45 minutes. Musk covers his framework in four parts. Find direction. Do not build what you think other people want. Build what you would use yourself. Everything else is a market research problem, and market research is almost never how new markets are found. Control costs. Do the physics. Every SpaceX component was priced against the raw material cost of its inputs. If the ratio was more than three, he built it in-house instead of buying it. Stay alive. In a war of attrition the last money left in the account wins. When PayPal was near zero he stopped taking a salary, refused strategic investors who wanted control, and cut every discretionary line item to zero. Break down problems with first principles. Do not reason by analogy. Do not defer to what an industry currently believes. Rebuild the problem from the physical constraints and see what falls out. "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." That is Musk in a 2013 interview repeating a line he first used in the Stanford talk ten years earlier. It has been quoted in almost every founder biography since. Every top-selling startup book of the last two decades borrows from this framework. The recording is free. The books are not. Almost every founder on X quotes Musk while running their company on the opposite of what he taught in this room. The talk is free. The four rules fit on a napkin. The willingness to actually do the physics on a business you are running instead of another pitch deck is a much rarer commodity than the framework itself.

Imsosmart (@ImSoSmart1985) reported@Tony_Denaro @HeroAssange I’ve thought about this. Perhaps it isn’t some grand conspiracy… RC is trying to raise money AND increase shareholder value but just keeps failing…. Powepacks, shutting down stores, warrants, eBay offer, now convertible notes. Throwing everything at the wall and nothing sticks.

Goatbeardz (@GoatBeardzDD) reportedThe biggest criticism of my eBay institutional ownership analysis in my $GME is that I double counted, and therefore the thesis is invalidated. Okay. Remove the duplicate. It's still over 90%. 90%+ institutional ownership in a company being actively bid on at a 20% premium. That's the number the "debunkers" don't want to engage with because correcting the error doesn't change the conclusion. If fixing one data point doesn't change the thesis, the critique was never about accuracy. It was about avoidance. AND ASK YOURSELF, WHY DO THEY WANT YOU TO IGNORE THAT NUMBER?

april 🔆🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@gaypril_906) reported@USPSHelp and it's not a signature issue since it's 3 DVDs from ebay, not exactly an expensive item that needs signing for

Polsia (@polsia) reportedOnline arbitrage sellers lose margin to 3am price wars and ship off stockouts they never see. Built Arbhawk to fix both. It scans Amazon, Walmart, and eBay every few minutes, pauses on stockouts, and emails one daily brief. The hawk flies soon.

DAN_NFT (@AndrawosDaniel) reported@metacolt1 @CardPurchaser Ebay support can take the bad feedback down for you. Some people literally have no life

Vikings95 (@Vikings95Cards) reported@NaNaNaNaB00BOO eBay autopay on auctions has kind of messed with that since payment is sent within an hour of ending. If they’re keeping all of the $ for both shipping costs, I’m expecting 2 packages with 2 labels since that’s technically what I paid for - normally this isn’t an issue with good sellers honestly.. this guy is a ghost

Overclock (@nverbullish) reportedTHIS GUY BOUGHT A $50,000 DATACENTER SERVER FOR LESS THAN A MAC MINI. I thought this was a datacenter tour. It's someone's office. Two enterprise rack servers sitting open on a desk, loaded with dual Xeons, hundreds of gigabytes of ECC RAM, and enough compute to run AI workloads that would cripple most consumer machines. Here's the part almost nobody realizes. When companies like AWS, Google, and Microsoft retire hardware after 3-4 years, they aren't throwing it away because it stopped working. They're replacing perfectly functional infrastructure that no longer fits their depreciation schedule. That means servers that cost $50,000 new quietly appear on eBay for $500-2,000. The CPUs still work. The RAM still works. The performance barely changed. Only the accounting did. Yes, they're loud. Yes, they pull 500-1000 watts. But if your goal is maximum local AI compute per dollar, consumer hardware isn't even playing the same game. Most people spend $2,000 on a high-end mini PC. This guy bought more RAM than many AI startups run on for less money than that. Hit play. Then tell me the used enterprise market isn't the biggest AI hardware arbitrage nobody is talking about.

Travis Tunstall (@goaliemanchild) reported@CardsEnzo The issue is the non scans and scammers - sent over 1,000 ESE with maybe .1% defect rate but those buyers are the worst - leave negative feedback that takes eBay days to remove - false claims of not receiving the item - etc wish it had more reliability but you can’t beat the $$

DGro (@DGro69634274) reportedI personally have received neutral feedback on eBay for shipping cards for $2 in a sleeve. In the photo I use the card is in a sleeve, is neutral feedback justified? *I recently got toploaders so this is no longer an issue*
-
MuchLove385 (@MakeitRain478) reported@metacolt1 @CardPurchaser That’s the problem with eBay lol and u can’t even leave the buyer a negative feedback to respond to that bs. Idk what ebay was thinking when it they took that option away years ago.
-
Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@foxenflask @heydomoshi Yeah, it can definitely be manipulated exactly like that by less than honest actors. In most cases, you should still have eBay Moneyback Guarantee coverage even without authentication. So if there is an issue once you receive it, you still have options. But like you point it, it's just a bad buyer experience that is likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth even if everything turns out fine.
-
The Silver Ram (@TheSilverRam) reported@Seabee133Bravo Yeah, that’s an obvious AF scam. And an example of one where if you report it to eBay, they’re too dull to pull the listing down ahead of time. All the AI in the world can’t fix stupid.

HML (@copterfield) reported@davidfrum @MollyJongFast In our case it was a monkey. She got it at 3 years old and lost it at 19. I tracked it down on eBay and bought 3 of them.

Alvin (@Alvin1492840) reportedSearch for the exact brand and model number not generic descriptions. She said most buyers search eBay the wrong way with vague terms like "modern sofa" or "wood dining table." That pulls up thousands of irrelevant results. She said: "Go to the retailer's website first. Find the exact piece you want. Write down the brand, the collection name, and the model number or SKU if it's listed. Then search eBay for that exact product." They wanted a Pottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa. Retail: $2,199. She searched "Pottery Barn York Slope Arm Sofa" on eBay. Three listings appeared all from people who'd bought the same sofa, used it for a year, and were upgrading. Prices: $650, $780, and $890. They bought the $780 one. Barely used. No stains. No damage. Original cushions. She said: "$780 for a $2,199 sofa. Same brand. Same model. Same fabric. A year old. That's a 64% discount because someone redecorated their living room and needed it gone. This happens thousands of times a day on eBay. People upgrade. People move. The old furniture has to go somewhere. It goes to eBay at whatever price gets it out the door."

Uncle Link⭐ (@UncleLinx) reportedthe market runs 1,440 minutes a day. you run about 40. that's the entire problem. everything else you argue about on this app is downstream of that one number. so people build crutches. price alerts. a hundred goddamn price alerts. and a price alert is the dumbest possible version of your thesis, because it only knows one number. it can't tell a breakout from a wick that got bought back in nine seconds. the other camp sells you a bot. black box, a backtest curve going up and to the right, no way to ask it what the hell it's doing. most of it is a ******* screenshot business, not a trading business. TradeOS took the boring road instead. you type a sentence. plain English, no Pine Script, no repo to clone: "analyze QQQ 1D chart with trend analysis using moving average, MACD, squeeze momentum, ATR" that sentence becomes an agent: > it runs 24/7 > it watches the assets you named while you're asleep > it drops the verdict in your feed. "detected 3 trends." or nothing, which is also an answer. 13,000+ assets in reach. the agent doesn't get bored at minute 41. there's a second piece on there I think is underrated. an indicator market. one premarket S&P model has 19,347 subscribers on it. you can rent someone else's edge instead of rebuilding it from scratch, or publish yours and let other people pay for it. that's a real market, not a Discord with a paywall. now the part almost nobody clicks on. @TradeOS_ai is built on @verona_dev. Verona doesn't rent them blockspace. Verona earns a share of what the app earns. read that twice, because it inverts the usual deal. every other chain wants your gas and a logo in their ecosystem deck. Verona only gets paid when the app on top of it gets paid. that changes who they let build. a landlord takes any tenant. a partner does diligence. and look at who picked those rails. teams that moved money at eBay, PayPal, ByteDance, American Express. those people shipped payment infrastructure at a scale where a bad rail costs real money and somebody's job. they don't pick rails for the vibes. that's the signal I'd weigh, honestly. not the roadmap. the choice.

TIFFANY FISHER ARTIST (@TiffanyArtist56) reported@AngryNetwrk One more thing I want to mention that you guys do not know about. I got caught by Rovio again and it’s due to the Commissions. This time I got DMCA’d by eBay where they took down my listing because it featured all of my Angry Birds custom plushies I made (which were not made for sale) and they think I was selling them which was not the case. I should’ve put disclaimers before it got taken down but eBay had limits that prevent me from editing the listing due to a good amount of watchers I had. Now the listing is just labeled as Tiffany Fisher Artist Commissions. And I didn’t use images of my Angry Birds custom plushies for it.
