  I have to start listing more eBay stuff. I’ve been rehabbing my right foot from a broken toe. As you get older, you spend more time rehabbing and less time working out. But there’s always golf….

  @aakashgupta @barnes_law but it's worse than the Hogan case (who was both in trouble AND eligible for some forgiveness because of layers of deception around the cookie stuffing... his actions and the documented condoning of them by eBay supervisors). This Gates spawn may have used the deceit to mislead investors(!) which is much worse

  @TonyClimate @eBay Persist. I bought coins from a seller that immediately shut down after shipping fakes. Ebay refunded my money.

  @TaylorHoliday Re:True Value - Min ROAS delivers on the value you enter. Cost Caps did not. To hit $50 a bid of $32 is needed. If you want to hit a 2 you need to bid 2.09... a 5% error rate is more or less being able to bid your true value. Re:Purchases - Meta doesn't segment purchase data by vertical. Even within eCommerce Amazon, Walmart, eBay all obfuscate their value metrics to the platform. Anecdotally, seen a lot of subscription companies that just pass a purchase event. All of this is to say is the purchase data set is definitionally larger than purchase + Value data set. Its an "all poodles are dogs but not all dogs are poodles" scenario. Re:Graph - Colloquial use of the term around the people on Meta's platform. Now that terms are defined - It'd be great to see the difference of frequency and CPMr between all the different models. From looking at this on my datasets, it seems that min ROAS explores a smaller and different subset of the platform than other bid types.

  @Frogboyx1Gaming Costco has a CyberPowerPC at $999 after a $500 instant rebate. Core Ultra 5 225F, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe, RTX 5060. Rebate expires 08/23/26. The sign lists a lot. It does not list the one number that decides whether this machine is useful to you. It names the GPU model, not its VRAM. That omission is not sneaky, just uninformative, because the plain RTX 5060 ships in exactly one config: 8GB GDDR7, 128-bit bus, 448 GB/s. There is no 12GB or 16GB version to distinguish it from. The 5060 Ti is the card with two flavors. People conflate them constantly. For 1080p gaming, 8GB is fine. For running models locally, 8GB is the entire conversation. What actually fits: 7B to 8B at Q4, roughly 4.5 to 5 GB, sits on the GPU with context to spare 12B to 14B at Q4, roughly 8 to 9 GB, already spilling into system RAM 20B and up, CPU offload, which means slow enough that you stop using it The 32GB of DDR5 does not rescue this. System RAM is the consolation prize, not the pool. Now the comparison most posts skip. A used RTX 3090 runs $850 to $1,100, typically landing near $1,000. That is 24GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus at about 936 GB/s. Token generation is memory bandwidth bound, so you are not only getting 3x the capacity, you are getting roughly 2x the throughput on top of it. But read the units carefully. $999 buys 8GB inside a complete working system. $1,000 buys 24GB and nothing else. That "nothing else" is doing real work. Add a board, CPU, RAM, case, and an 850W supply to feed a 350W card wanting dual 8-pin, and you land at $1,600 to $1,800. The prebuilt's stock PSU almost certainly cannot take a 3090 later either, so treating the Costco box as an upgrade path is wishful. The filter step. Neither option is wrong. They answer different questions. If you want a working machine today and your models are 8B and under, $999 complete is a genuinely strong number. If the goal is 30B class models, you are not buying a computer, you are buying VRAM. And $999 buys 8GB of it welded into a chassis you cannot meaningfully upgrade. Intuition says that's a deal. Logic asks a deal on what, specifically. The spec that constrains your actual use case is the only one worth pricing. One caveat before anyone runs to eBay: most used 3090s mined through 2021 and 2022, and the GDDR6X on the backside runs hot enough to cook its thermal pads. Ask whether they were replaced.

  "Loud pipes save lives on a motorcycle," but a straight-piped four-cylinder screams "I just cashed my $120 Taco Bell bonus check and bought a fart can off eBay." Customizing a V8 Charger or Mustang that naturally sounds like thunder makes sense, but trying to make a glorified matchbox car sound like a Top Fuel dragster is pure comedy. These budget blenders-on-wheels love announcing their arrival by blasting low bass so aggressive it’s actively vibrating the rust off the undercarriage and loosening the glue on their fake stick-on AutoZone hood vents. The entire chassis is shaking itself to death one kick drum at a time, trapped in a cloud of burnt oil, peach-ice vape smoke, and a desperate bouquet of nine tree-shaped Black Ice air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror. What sends me into outer space is the red-light stance. The driver is reclined so far back in the bucket seat they look like they’re laying down for an eye exam, one hand draped over the top of the steering wheel like a drowning swimmer clinging to a buoy. Then they hit you with that slow, neck-straining side-eye to see if you’re admiring the setup. My Douche, the only people impressed by your 108-horsepower lawnmower are three non-binary teenagers in an Arby's parking lot and two aspiring micro-influencers farming you for content before they realize TikTok isn't paying the bills and they have to pivot to an OnlyFans featuring a Taser connected cucumber. Their entire life purpose hinges on aggressively revving at a unimpressed soccer mom in a Honda Odyssey, dumping the clutch, and making 110 decibels of pure aggressive-wasp noise — all to achieve a blistering 32 mph before slamming the brakes for the next red light 100 yards down the road. Then the minivan casually glides right back up next to them. You didn't win a street race, bro; you just spent three dollars worth of premium gas to travel 50 feet and blow out your own catalytic converter. We’ve all wanted to look cool when we were younger, but turning your daily driver into an angry weedwhacker with $20 limo tint is next-level delusion.

  YOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.

  My Little House book series unicorn find arrived today. The box didn’t make it through the journey, so I received it like this. Unfortunately, some of the covers on the discontinued copies now have creases. Will it affect resale? I’m going to find out. I paid $25 for this entire lot and eBay sold comps on the combined sets are over $500. My biggest problem actually isn’t the creased covers. It’s wanting to keep this set because I am a book collector as much as I am a book seller. What would you do?

  🚨 Bill Gates’ daughter has been caught up in a major fraud scandal that could land her in federal prison for up to 20 years. Phoebe Gates, the 23-year-old daughter of the world’s most famous billionaire, co-founded a browser extension called Phia that was marketed as a helpful “personal shopping assistant” designed to find better fashion deals for users while earning commissions the legitimate way. Instead, a Bloomberg investigation and internal Slack messages have revealed that the company was allegedly running a classic cookie-stuffing scheme, silently opening background tabs, forcing its own tracking cookies onto users’ browsers, and then claiming commissions on sales it never actually drove through fake or simulated clicks. What makes this especially damaging is that Phoebe was not in the dark about the practice. In a December message to her team she specifically asked them to “confirm auto pop for cookie drop is live on ALL sites… to confirm we are monetizing on all [gross merchandise volume],” while her co-founder continued pushing to keep the system active even after engineers raised compliance concerns. When the feature was finally disabled, Phia’s average daily revenue collapsed from around $80,000 to as low as $10,000–$28,000, and cookie stuffing reportedly accounted for 51% of the sales the company claimed credit for in a single month. Corporate attorney Ariel Givner has warned that this exact conduct is typically treated as federal wire fraud in U.S. courts, carrying a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison along with fines and restitution. There is already clear precedent: an affiliate marketer who ran a similar scheme against eBay (which ironically invested in Phia) was convicted and sent to federal prison. Phoebe has spent years insisting her startup would succeed with “no ties to my privilege or my last name,” yet the internal records now paint a very different picture of a company whose growth appears to have relied heavily on quietly siphoning commissions it did not earn. For a billionaire’s daughter who positioned herself as an independent entrepreneur, this scandal has suddenly become far more than a PR problem. Kari Bundy-- Health Actvist

  @TonyClimate @eBay This whole issue is a big fat nothingburger. Talking to someone wouldn’t change the outcome or speed it up in any meaningful way. For a closed-account non-delivery case, I'd much rather have automated processes in place that resolve the issue in a matter of days than have to talk to some call center drone reading from a script. I mean, seriously, what are you whining about getting 'straightened out'? You go into your purchase history, wait until the estimated delivery date has passed, open an “Item not received” request, and the system handles the rest. Because the seller’s account is already closed or restricted, they can’t respond, the case times out in the buyer’s favor, and eBay issues the refund. No phone call, no chat agent, no special escalation is required. That’s how the Money Back Guarantee is built to scale. What am I missing?

  @bscholtz12 Good to hear from you Brandon I still think grading is inconceivably cracked even if shut down. If bankroll is >=$25,000 then I would take cards $750+ and grad with PSA at $80 per and let it compound, especially with it not requiring much time aside from the initial submission Lower; entirely focus on eBay and private sales. Raw cards if you want to make higher per card but slower movers, slabs and quick gains

  @TonyClimate @eBay There is a scam where a seller sells a bunch of cheep stuff to build up positive feedback numbers and then lists a bunch of GPU’s or expensive computers for sale that they never had and never deliver, absconding with the proceeds of those sales. Amazon is seeing issues too.
