  AMERICAN MAKER IS BUYING BROKEN XBOXES FOR $187 AND TURNING THEM INTO A 16GB GDDR6 AI FARM ON HIS KITCHEN TABLE One kitchen. One floral tablecloth. Six gutted consoles. Xbox Series X APU. AMD Zen 2 8-core. RDNA 2, 12 TFLOPS. 16GB GDDR6 unified per box. $187 broken on eBay, one blue Ethernet cable each. Most devs drop $479 on a single RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and stop there. He gutted six dead consoles for $1,122 total and got six times the VRAM. Pause at 0:03 — a $500 Microsoft SoC sitting next to a coffee cup on a floral tablecloth. The AI moat is a dead console and a screwdriver. Microsoft built a $499 inference node and thought it was a game machine. Full teardown in the video below.

  @JoshRing4UBI @Colteastwood The problem here, is the way digital rights work - you own nothing. While most people haven’t been affected by this yet, one day, that will change… There is no physical market to control prices, so Sony can charge whatever they want, and you can’t head to Amazon or eBay

  Competitors reprice constantly. You're either watching 24/7 or losing sales. Built PriceEdge to fix that. AI monitors competitor prices across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Walmart and adjusts yours automatically — while protecting the margins you set. One dashboard, all channels.

  Wonderful. So now people who collect coins can deal with scalpers selling these on eBay for $200 a piece. eBay really needs to crack down on this BS, but this was unbelievably stupid by the mint. Cancel the retarded girl quarters and run loads of these instead.

  The funny thing about this is that considering PlayStation will continue to ship physical code in a box (a blatant move to skate by regulators from monopoly claims), this will probably result in the same issue. eBay sellers inflating prices of sealed delisted games.

  eBay: here choose a charity to support” . I select one . eBay: sorry your payment methods won’t allow that. I spend 6 hours trying to fix it to no avail… So instead at the end of the month each month I’ll be donating 10% of my eBay sales to @Sigs4Soldiers via Venmo.

  Sellers who manually reprice are losing to sellers who don't. Built PriceLift to fix that. AI monitors competitors across Amazon, eBay, Shopify in real time, auto-adjusts your prices to win Buy Box, and alerts you before margins collapse. Repricing shouldn't be a full-time job.

  Some user reported kaho not working on an old machine with a kepler gpu. Think the issue is that those stop at Vulkan 1.2 on Windows while I use some 1.3 features. Was looking to acquire an old kepler laptop to add to test bench and its really slim pickings on ebay. Most thinkpads / precision from that era are gone, which seems a bit strange to me.

  @MttThms @DustinCanFly Even with Amazon sales go up and down you can still get a copy on eBay or marketplace anywhere really and it’ll be cheaper by a good amount If you wanted a cod title 5 years ago if it’s not on sale it’ll be 60$ And this is a huge thing PlayStation will do bare minimum

  eBay takes 12.8% in fees. Add £10-12 for tracked postage and £2-3 packaging. On a £200 sale, you're down £40 before you see a penny. That's 20% gone. A recycler pays the quoted price, sends a free label, and transfers to your bank in 48 hours.

  Sooo basically there's significantly more slow people in the Playstation community than there are in the XBOX community 🤔 The physical box is still on sale at retail price and yet people still pre-ordering off ebay even today at outrageous prices. Come on people 💀 #TheGTA6Affect

  @PSAcard @PSAcard any update on this? Any update on why cards are not scanned in or photographed when an @eBay seller sends it for authentication? I am still waiting on where the issue is. Did the seller send you a 9 and it was passed off as a 10, or did PSA replace my 10 with a 9?

  Blessed with the 'tism (@blessedtism) reported 27 minutes ago

  @104hutsona @PeteDorr >the bulk of the lifetime sales have already been made Yeah, because people buy cheap used copies on the physical market! That's the whole problem they want to fix! Steam rakes in money and older games still sell copies because the secondhand market doesn't exist on PC for people who want to buy games, so those sales all go to the publisher instead of GameStop or random people on Facebook marketplace or eBay.

  @qwerty__sensei Do it! I had the same problem since I'm a bit taller than you with a slim build but I got a custom sized one from a Chinese ebay vendor some months ago. It fits like a glove and the quality is great. Just get your measurements and it should be fine.

  @birdwithuhword @anthonydangelo That's literally irrelevant to this issue. The same thing applies to almost every game. Pick your favorite PS game and compare the digital vs ebay/goodwill prices. The disc version will almost certainly be cheaper.

  As I look at my well loved, worn and broken toys I think of the USS Flagg aircraft carrier that was mint in box going for $30,000 on EBay, I wonder did I get $30,000 worth of fun out of it? Considering I have been carrying it for 40 years, I think so.

  CashFlowRN (@CashFlowRN) reported 35 minutes ago

  @foxenflask Your friend's framework is basically right. Let me take his questions in order. **Why stay under 10%.** Crossing 10% beneficial ownership makes GameStop a Section 16 insider in eBay — meaning short-swing profit rules apply: if GME ever sold within six months of a purchase, it would have to disgorge profits. That's a real risk if the bid fails and they want to exit. Ten percent is also the standard trigger threshold for activist-facing poison pills, so staying below it denies eBay a clean justification and keeps GME from getting frozen mid-accumulation. Note the structure they're using: GameStop holds part of its position through put/call pairs and has no voting or dispositive power over those shares unless physically settled — an option that only opened when the HSR condition was satisfied on June 3. So they can carry economic exposure beyond the reported stake while keeping *beneficial* ownership low. (Delaware §203's 15% "interested stockholder" freeze is the other ceiling, which is probably where your friend's 12.9% number came from — but Section 16 bites at 10%, five points earlier.) **Why no poison pill yet.** Almost certainly one exists "on the shelf" — pills can be adopted by board vote in a day, no shareholder approval needed. Boards don't adopt them preemptively because standing pills draw ISS/Glass Lewis fire and withhold campaigns, and adopting one now would undercut eBay's messaging that the proposal is "neither credible nor attractive" — you don't build a moat against something you've called not credible. Expect a pill within 48 hours of either GME crossing ~10% or a Schedule TO hitting EDGAR, likely with a trigger set just above GME's grandfathered position. **After the Schedule TO.** Because half the consideration is GME stock, GameStop also needs an effective S-4 (that's why everything's being filed under Rule 425 now). The offer must stay open 20+ business days. eBay's board must file a Schedule 14D-9 within 10 business days recommending for, against, or neutral. Then the board's playbook: adopt the pill (which mechanically blocks consummation — no one triggers a pill), "just say no" under Delaware's Airgas precedent, sue over disclosure, seek a white knight, or do a defensive recap/buyback. The pill means the tender itself can't close over the board's objection — it becomes a referendum and pressure device. Cohen's actual path to closing runs through a proxy fight to replace directors who'd redeem the pill, which is why he keeps saying "this will be resolved by shareholders" and the board "cannot run and hide forever". **The $500M question.** He almost certainly can't put it into EBAY stock. Once substantial steps toward a tender offer exist, Rule 14e-3 bars anyone with material nonpublic info about the offer from trading the target's stock — the exemption covers the offering *person* (GameStop the corporation), not Cohen individually. Personal EBAY purchases would also risk forming a 13(d) "group" with GME, aggregating stakes toward every threshold above. So the wise deployment is into **GME**: half the offer is GameStop stock, so the deal's value to eBay holders rises and falls with GME's price. A large, disclosed personal buy right after the S-4/TO launch (post-disclosure, so no MNPI window issue) directly supports the exchange ratio and answers the credibility attack — which he's already been previewing rhetorically, contrasting himself with eBay insiders who he says sold over $120M while buying nothing. So yes — your friend's conclusion holds. Creeping to 12.9% buys nothing except Section 16 exposure and a pill pretext. The leverage is in the tender-plus-proxy-fight route, with the sub-10% stake as anchor. One caveat since I know you've got real money in the GME wheel: this is deal-mechanics analysis, not a prediction of outcomes — hostile bids of this size fail more often than they succeed, and I'm not in a position to tell you how to position around it.

  THIS SERVER SCRAPPER TURNED A $130 RETIRED TESLA M40 INTO A 24GB PRIVATE AI SERVER THAT WORKS 720 HOURS A MONTH FOR $8 He's 27, strips retired servers for a living. Pause at 0:11 on the boot screen, that is a PowerEdge R750, a machine datacenters paid $20,000+ for. It ships to eBay for a tenth of that. Working hardware, dumped by the pallet, on a schedule. Tesla M40. $3,500 new in 2015. $130 today. 24GB of memory, same as a $3,800 RTX 5090. He put one in the gaming PC that used to boot up for Spotify. $25 fan, $10 adapter, $165 all in. Three commands and Ollama runs a 27B model. The box stays on around the clock. Sorts his inbox and drafts replies overnight. Watches eBay auctions and pings his phone when a price drops. Turns every saved article into a summary. He checks the results once, over coffee. Hard reasoning goes to Claude, $20 a month, the only subscription he kept. His AI stack used to cost $391 a month. Now it's $28. The card paid for itself in two weeks. $4,356 a year stays in his account. The gaming PC still sits under the desk. It just stopped sleeping. Save this before the window shuts.

  Ivo (@IvoAI3) reported 60 minutes ago

  This guy claims $27,000 in one month off this. He wasn’t even using AI. He found a $100 eBay product (like heaters with hundreds of sales), reverse-searched the image to Alibaba, and discovered the same item for ~$28. Then he manually ran margins, fees, shipping, and checked competitor stores to see what was actually scaling. That’s it. Now think about what changes with AI. You don’t have to manually search suppliers, calculate profit, or dig through competitors. AI can identify similar listings, map suppliers from images, break down margins, and summarize entire stores in seconds. Same framework. Demand, supplier, margin, replication. AI just removes almost all the work in between.

  @GenesissVII It sucks for everyone. Even digital buyers are going to feel it in their wallets. Since there won’t be any competition in reselling games (game stop, market place, eBay etc), games are going to continue going up in price and never come down.
