    PS not sure what I will do with it yet but I did bother to find the one remaining replacement screw on eBay and order it for $12. Basically half the resale value. 🙄 But I couldn't in good conscience even donate it broken.

    There’s a special place in hell for the fake football shirt sellers who have inundated eBay and Depop. Need the government to crack down on them how Reagan did to drug users and sellers.

    @TheDrugMoney $0 side hustle start up - sell stuff you already have but don’t use on eBay. Take that money, go to garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and buy things to sell on eBay. Rinse repeat. Scale up or down as much as you want.

    The anxiety of this specific vinyl coming damaged because I originally thought I was coming from a state near by then for it to be shipping from basically the other side of the country is nerve-racking (this is why my eBay addiction died down)

    @EricRStPierre Aaarrgg!! Ten cent and twenty five cent pieces! And a 1961 Canadian 50 cent piece now costs about $50 on eBay, when you include tax and postage. I think the 1961 is just about the most beautiful of Canadian coins. 1961… the upside down year according to MAD Magazine

    I have a weird problem with eBay. I bought this Magic: The Gathering starter deck set on 15 July. The seller still has not shipped it. I requested that they cancel it. They declined. If you thought that would prompt them to ship it, you would be wrong. I then asked eBay on 25 July to cancel it. They will not do anything about it unless I still have not received it by 31 July. The seller has a one-day handling time. #eBay #MtG

    @CLEV_Buckeye @262Peterson If you report a listing error to eBay, you’re exactly correct. They don’t care. Your only hope is to notify the seller, but as in my case, they might be hateful & retaliate. It’s so unnecessary & unwise to be a hateful eBay seller. Buyers are mostly just trying to help you.

    @poxesfoxes The reason for destroying them is the law The shredding step being the shedding step and not the "list dissasembled book on eBay" step is currently entirely down to copyright law If that was different and they still chose the shredder, then you'd have grounds to complain at them

    @CardPurchaser You can’t use just one.. Way to many depend strictly on CardLadder which like MarketMovers is known for missing and not having updated sales, especially when using the scan option. You have to dig deeper if you’re trying to lock down some direct recent comps, like EBay sold items

    20th Century Boxing: Icons, Memories & More (@20thCentBoxIMM) reported

    Flash Gordon's weekly newsletter features Leroy Haley on its cover on July 26, 1982. Haley had won the WBC Junior Welterweight Title on June 26th with a 15-round split decision over Saoul Mamby in Ohio. Gordon's newsletters were among the finest boxing coverage around and he was an MSG mainstay on fight nights back when boxing was part of New York's, America's, and the world's sporting mainstream. ---------------------------------------------------------- From the Malcolm “Flash” Gordon Tribute by Eric Bottjer in 2014: One of boxing’s most important journalists passed recently. Malcolm “Flash” Gordon, approximately 66, a literal recluse the past 30 years, is gone. No surviving relatives are known. No former friends had seen him in years, despite his occupying the same Queens apartment for more than 40 years, until his death. From 1968 to 1986, “Flash” published, edited, and was the primary writer for “Tonight’s Boxing Program,” a weekly newsletter that contained more insight, humor, gossip and innuendo in one issue than any boxing publication of the same time could produce in one year. Flash was a guerrilla warrior, selling his issues outside events in New York and Philadelphia and neither giving nor receiving any favors (gifts, meals, etc. ) from anyone in the business. Flash broke two major stories – the fixed ABC TV United States championships tournament promoted by Don King in 1977 (which garnered him little credit and no money); Flash also was the sole shrill voice stating SOMETHING was wrong with Harold Smith’s MAPS promotions, that they were losing millions of dollars a month. Writers with much better resources somehow ignored the obvious, content to attend shows which turned out to be financed with embezzled millions from Wells Fargo (21. 5 million, the largest such bank theft in U. S. history). Flash lost heart in the mid 1980’s. His publication came out sporadically at the end. A promised 1986 record book never materialized. He simply disappeared. For years after, there were occasional rumors. He was spotted in the New York Public Library reading old newspapers. Don King – or one of his henchman – had done away with him (people actually considered this ridiculous notion). I never met Flash, nor spoke to him. While living in Europe in 1980, he sent me a sample copy of TBP. I subscribed immediately. It was a must-read and his work ethic and instincts were formidable. At the end, six years later, paranoia had seeped into his writing – and his mind. About twelve years ago, Jack Obermayer and I staked out Flash’s apartment. We waited in a car for about 90 minutes until I felt silly enough to go in and knock on his door. Jack called to him – we heard something – not a voice, but something made noise. Flash never answered. And in 2009, luck. I ordered a St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sunday magazine – a cover story on Leon Spinks – on Ebay for $5. The sender was Malcolm Gordon from Queens, New York. I wrote him a brief letter, stating that I was a former subscriber, that I loved the issues, etc. The new quicktype keyboard even features multi-touch gestures for moving the cursor around or selecting text. A week later, a 3-paragraph reply. Perfectly sane, thanking me for writing him, briefly explaining that he quit producing TBP because boxing had devolved as a business and that the competition was getting worse (the IBF was fairly new, producing a then-ridiculous three world champions in an increasing number of weight classes). I don’t know how a person can live literally alone for 30 years. But I know this: Flash Gordon was an important boxing writer in the 20th century. He should be in the New York Boxing Hall of Fame (not that he would have wanted or attended induction, but, hey, he’s gone now, so it won’t offend him).

    @davidscottjaffe I'm most upset about Playstation (and likely other consoles in the future) locking down their ecosystem into one storefront. Buy from Sony at Sony prices. No longer pick up a title on clearance from Walmart, buy an import from Play Asia, buy a used game from Gamestop, or buy an out of print game from eBay. Just Sony. If they want to charge more because of their two-tiered pricing system, then you just have to put up or shut up. If they want to keep a game at its original retail price for the lifetime of the console, then they can. I just want multiple options. This shouldn't be a digital vs physical gamer issue. No "side" wins here if they go one route or the other. This is just a decision made to maximize Playstation's profits and gamers shouldn't be celebrating losing options so a multi-billion dollar company can be further in the black.

    @GuntherEagleman Remember when people mailed packages on their own? Now it’s only through a few places like Amazon, EBay, and a few other large companies. Also, because of this BS Covid, the mail volume went down in the USPS.

    Dear @eBay and @USPS I can not contact a human via eBay app. I sell a high volume of sports cards via standard envelope service via eBay. USPS doesn’t scan until not scan until delivery if at all. Which has ruined my top rated status and has opened me up to a high volume of item not received complaints. A percentage of which I suspect are fraudulent. Please advise. Ship with 1 business day service but I often ship same day. Why offer this if I’m gonna be penalized for things out of my control. This has only become a problem in the last few months. Please like and repost if you have had the same problem as a high volume standard envelope service user on @eBay .
