KASM (@KASM_Capital) reportedThe $GME $EBAY conspiracy just got more interesting. GameStop filed a proxy today and the math is worth walking through. GME has ~448M shares outstanding. At $26, that’s an $11.7B company. Cohen wants to buy eBay for $55.5B — half cash, half GME stock. The stock portion is about $27.75B. At today’s price, that means issuing well over 1B new shares. Existing shareholders go from owning 100% of GME to roughly 30%. No way this gets approved. At $45, Cohen issues ~617M new shares and holders end up around 42%. That’s also where his new performance award kicks in — his comp pays nothing unless GME sustains about a $20B market cap, roughly $45/share. At $62, he issues 448M new shares and doubles the float. Shareholders own 50%. Aggressive, but at least real. At $120, he needs only ~231M new shares. Holders keep about 66%. Now the deal starts to look like a legitimate mega‑acquisition, not a meme. Today’s proxy asks shareholders to authorize 2.5B total shares. That’s Cohen asking for permission to print the $ he needs. Buried in the filings, GameStop already has exposure to 23.2M eBay shares through options expiring February 2028. Cohen built the eBay position before going public with the bid. Deal needs GME higher. Share authorization makes issuance possible. His comp kicks in at the minimum price the math requires. He’s already long eBay into the announcement. And Kitty just logged back in. The next few months decide whether Cohen actually pulls off one of the wildest deals in modern markets or his clout flames out. I’m betting he’s just crazy enough to make it work.

CHItrader (@CHItrader) reportedEBAY TELLS GAMESTOP TO KICK ROCKS $EBAY just flat-out rejected $GME unsolicited takeover proposal, shutting down whatever meme-fueled buyout fantasy the GME crowd was cooking up. 🔹 Clean rejection with zero interest in talks 🔹 GameStop left looking for its next big swing 🔹 Classic “we’re good, thanks” from the old-school marketplace EBAY ain’t trying to get meme’d into a deal.

Balance Sheets Matter (@BSheetsMatter) reported@Comedyorwat @eBay $GME is down since RC become chair and ceo while EBay is up over 100%+ in those 2 periods of time
-
Small Feet Big Heat (@SmallFeetHeat) reportedThings like this come with the territory of buying sneakers and the occasional selling. Just seems like I’m having an issue more and more with GOAT. Think I’ll give them a break and turn to Stock X and EBay for a while.

DoctorBlind's Blinds & Shades of Sarasota (@drblindinc) reported@ryancohen Ryan, I know this isn't the end for the eBay acquisition. You are the solution to the problem. We have all been here long enough to see it, to see your effect on GME. We support you 100%! Get'r Done!!

Akecheta (@aki_cheta) reportedSince 2022 this proposal topic has won more than 47% shareholder support 3-times without any special effort by the proponent. Meanwhile EBAY made a special effort against this proposal topic all 3-times. This greater than 47% support likely represented much more than 50% shareholder support from the EBAY shares that have access to independent proxy voting advice which gives these shareholders insight to both sides of this important issue. Their shareholders are basically begging management to give them the approval to hold a special shareholder meeting because of all the ****** up things going on.. The board rigged their own re elections by ******* with the governance policy! $EBAY $GME @ValueAddedRS @ryancohen

CHItrader (@CHItrader) reported$GME GAMESTOP SHARES DOWN 2.7% AFTER EBAY REJECTS ACQUISITION PROPOSAL
-
Chris Sommers (@ChrisSommers79) reported@EconomPic @stoked_on_waves @RandolphDuke7 there’s no other way for eBay shareholders to get stock because he’s not going to sell $25-30bn worth of GameStop shares before the deal He may issue shares after the deal closes but I’d actually be surprised if he does, at least in first 3-6 months
-
toji (@_oxdave) reported@KobeissiLetter eBay shutting down the $56B GME offer quick. TROO steady lending and asset-backed approach feels way more grounded than these big swing takeover attempts
-
SmartMoneyFlow (@modeh5) reported@grok @TrippyMike_TC @PhantomBlack699 That’s not accurate. You calculated it based on market cap stays the same as today. If they issue them that’s mean deal is sealed with eBay and market cap maybe reached $100 billion already.

Elvick (@Elvick) reportedBased eBay. GameStop is trash. eBay has it's problems, but it's far better off than GS.

John Hancock (@JohnHan96373093) reported@magsonthemoon @I_only_use_tide @cptnredbeard147 Great post Mags, but I believe that RC Ventures have bought the BBBYQ shell. If that is the case then how would RC integrate the shell into the GME/EBAY merger? Would DK-B 1 inc become Teddy? Would Teddy then issue stock and cash to Ebay/ GME and BBBYQ under the same umbrella?.

Joel Mendoza (@JoelMendoz63815) reported@BrdcastMediaGuy @eBay If there’s an issue and you want your money back, go to the items listing and select the start refund option. It will force the seller to either refund you with no return or communicate what you want done. eBay will hold their funds until the problem is resolved

Ben (@AceOfTrophies) reported@CornGhost88 I’m very confused. I also got a Chinese copy from eBay , and was able to use that copy to get the Chinese list. This …. Looks like a Chinese copy??? What is the issue?
-
kathleen brooks (@KATHLEENBROOKS) reportedEBay has rejected GameStop’s offer. The minnow gets pushed to the side for now… EBay’s share price is down 1% in the pre market, GameStop is down 4.75% in the pre market. @XTBUK

Andrew Kim (@AndrewKimMD) reported@justbuilding @LememeJames Have sent and still sending hundreds of ebay standard envelopes with toploaders with no issues minus the occasional lost envelope. But never a return back to me due to issues with dimensions.
-
heretic-x (@ggmania) reportedeBay has formally turned down GameStop's unsolicited $56 billion offer to buy the company, calling it "neither credible nor attractive."
-
cexscan (@cexscan) reported@ImCryptOpus Gotta respect the hustle but that number ain't moving the needle for eBay. Let 'em play nice, maybe they'll get a better offer down the road.
-
Alexo (@alexoterov) reported@sudoingX I agree, but the problem is most “renewed” or “refurbished” 3090s are going for $1350+ once you filter out the shady eBay and local marketplace listings. I just picked up a brand new Intel Arc Pro B70 with 32 GB. No CUDA support, obviously, but I’m willing to experiment. I’ve got a 5060 Ti 16 GB in an eGPU dock connected via Oculink to my desktop, where the B70 will live. Plan is to throw all sorts of open weight models and harnesses at it and see what holds up. Also waiting for delivery of the RISC-V SpacemiT Key Stone K3 with the RVA23 AI CPU and 32 GB LPDDR5. No idea what comes out of this hardware labyrinth, but I’m all in.
-
Karen (@Karen10359000) reported@ryancohen Something has to give, this is getting so old. I just wish we could hurry up and get this deal done with Ebay or if not, go ahead and sell Ebay shares and move on the the next, people are getting tired. We watch all of the other stocks go up and we just go down. I've been holding for so long, no way I will sell, I just keep buying more, but I'm running out of money and time, I can't live forever.
-
WhenItRainsItPours (@chadRAINS) reported@Silent__92 @BoilerPaulie Hey **** face. We’ve all seen what’s happening with eBay. It’s dying a slow death because it’s being milked by these parasites. I’m old enough to remember the glory days of eBay, so please go **** yourself.
-
p (@mcmilleeee) reported@cybermewtype It’s been pretty insane I accidentally went a little hard on a eBay worker earlier, because I was scammed and it wasn’t a super obvious one. eBay lady said she couldn’t return my money until the date it’s supposed to arrive but the listing was taken down because of multiple scam reports. So I can’t get my money back for two weeks. This is the second time in 5 years of buying cards on eBay that I’ve been scammed so I don’t get got often. Honestly thinking about taking a break from paying for shipping these days lol.

e/x - rome • 前に進め 🦈🏒 (@bleeding__teal) reported@chernybot yeahhh i checked reddit too and apparently it's been happening on and off the past few weeks (and i unforch got hit by the same issue now 🫠) ebay really said we should all take a break lollllll

Kong (@K1n9_Kon9) reported@Stonkfather2021 time for ebay stock to go back down to 80 then gg
-
石川誠 (@isikawamako10) reported@ImDashTV Unlike in the US, the supply is limited in Japan, so you never know if another cheap bobblehead will become available after you sell one. And on eBay, shipping and customs fees make it more expensive. It's a difficult problem.
-
NightStand (@Leroy1691817) reported@JonTheTrader @colin_gladman On a real note , isn’t it needed for the eBay deal ; the equity from eBay shareholders ? Also if dfv ever came back we would need to issue shares and raise another 4-5 billion . It’s not like Ryan’s gonna dilute at the lows like amc . Just my opinion what r ur thoughts ?
-
James Surowiecki (@JamesSurowiecki) reported@BoilerPaulie Cohen is offering eBay shareholders no premium, since half of the offer is in watered-down, overpriced GameStop stock that he wants eBay shareholders to trade their stock for.
-
Liz Morton ~ Value Added Resource (@ValueAddedRS) reported@ryancohen For anyone who doubts $EBAY has a brand problem re retaliation: "I was super nervous about putting it out there...I was afraid that eBay is going to be like, "What are you doing?" and, you know, kick me off the platform." The man sells on the platform, makes software to help others sell on the platform & runs one of the best, most informative YouTube channels out there for sellers on the platform - this is not something that should ever even enter his mind of a second & the fact that it did says everything that needs to be said.
-
Maria (@Maria18414604) reported@PopBase They’d probably shut down EBay if they got it since they can barely keep their stores afloat.

DocHB (@DocHuckleberry7) reported@ryancohen How much are you getting paid to take eBay down for Jeff?
