  @ALTPEPEEEEEEE I completely understand your logic and reasoning. And have personally dealt with issues on overseas sales as a seller. In the end I feel eBay should allow an in person sales option. If you can afford 400k you can def afford economy to pick it up.

  @morganlinton That would have been a tight squeeze for anything beyond 30B parameters at Q4 or Q6 with a meaningful context window. I’m fitting a 70B Q4 model at 96k context comfortably on a 4090 and 128GB RAM. I can fit it at Q6 and Q8 up to 262k context, but it becomes very slow, about 1 token per second. So 70B Q4 at 96k is the happy medium at about 3 tokens per second. A Mac uses unified memory, so you’d struggle with anything above 40B. You’d be better off buying a server with 256GB of DDR4 RAM and swapping the GPU for an Ada 6000 Blackwell. Used EPYC-based servers still go for around $2k on eBay, and extra RAM can be sourced from China reclaimed shops.

  @Rattlehead73x You can still wait stuff and it can be sold if it doesn't get caught which is why reporting them helps eBay find them. Kind of like if you upload a movie to Twitter or YouTube people can watch it for a time until it gets taken down.

  @JesseBallCards @CardPurchaser @eBay eBay pockets 3.80. You pay extra because you’re either a slow shipper or you neglected a refund request. The government takes 2 dollars and the shipping company takes another dollar.

  @RecoveriX__HQ @eBay I’ve submitted multiple reports to eBay, and both times they determined that the seller was not in violation. The seller claimed he provided me with a return label, but he never did. eBay then instructed me to resolve the issue directly with the seller, but he hasn’t answered.

  @ChuckCook I'd set a bot loose on my garage of dead electronics. It looks up every model, finds the repair guides and parts, prices them on eBay, and builds me a 'fix or sell' list. Then a second bot lists whatever it says to sell

  You have to instigate a return with ebay. Simply click on your Order Number at the top of this page and utilize the 'drop down' menu for Returns on the Order Page.

  META PCs (@METAPCs) reported 18 minutes ago

  A seller's cautionary tale about selling PC parts on eBay: a buyer allegedly scammed him out of a CPU, and eBay's system nearly let it happen automatically. He listed a CPU in pristine condition, photos and all. The buyer filed a damage claim, but allegedly bent the pins himself first. Seller refused the refund and asked for the part back. It came back destroyed, pins mangled beyond repair. Then eBay's automated system tried to auto-refund the buyer using return tracking alone. The seller had to track down an actual human to stop it. Even after showing photos, eBay refunded the buyer anyway, out of eBay's own pocket. The takeaway: this scam reportedly runs at scale. It's a free part if the seller folds. If you're selling parts right now: photograph the serial number, film yourself packing it, and always demand a human rep.

  @shaneflannagan Go to eBay and search “VSeeboxV5” and spend $250ish on a box that will solve that issue. I’ve got the V5 (that’s the model of device) and I LOVE IT!! They do have newer models (V6…. V6 ultra…) and so on but the V5 works just fine for me. Got 1 in my living room and bed room.

  Einstein never made a dollar from relativity. The Wright brothers flew the first plane and died broke. Every railroad baron who connected a continent went bankrupt. They created everything. They captured nothing. Google made $50,000,000,000 in one year selling search. Airlines moved 800,000,000 passengers and made approximately zero profit across their entire 100-year history. One is more important to civilization. The other is worth four times more. Peter Thiel spent one Stanford lecture explaining why - and why most people have it completely backwards. This is Stanford, How to Start a Startup. He called it Competition is for Losers. He opens with one formula: value created times percent captured. X times Y. The mistake everyone makes is thinking X and Y move together. Then the lies. Monopolies pretend they are not monopolies - Google calls itself an advertising company. 3.5% of a $500,000,000,000 market. Not a monopoly - just a minnow in an ocean. Startups with nothing unique do the opposite. They call themselves the only British restaurant in Palo Alto. Then the small market rule. Amazon started as a bookstore. PayPal started with 20,000 eBay power sellers. Facebook started with 10,000 people at Harvard - 0 to 60% market share in 10 days. Everyone called these markets too small to matter. That was the point. Then last mover. 75% of a tech company's value comes from cash flows after year 10. First mover gets a one-third **** advantage. Last mover wins the game. The question is never who got there first. The question is who stays. Then the personal story. Thiel graduated Stanford, got a job at a top New York firm everyone wanted to enter and everyone wanted to leave. Left after 7 months and 3 days. A colleague told him: it's reassuring to see you leave. I had no idea it was possible to escape from Alcatraz. All you had to do was walk out the front door. Watch the moment he redefines loser. We think losers are people who can't compete. He argues the real losers are the ones who compete hardest - in markets so crowded that winning means capturing nothing. A founder I know replayed this before turning down a Series A that wanted him to go after a larger market. Said it was the first time saying no to money felt like strategy rather than fear. Free on YouTube, Stanford. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every crowded market you see will feel like a sign someone already lost

  @SawyerMerritt I'd point a bot at my garage full of dead electronics. It IDs every model, pulls repair guides and part prices, checks eBay, and builds me a fix-or-sell list. Then a second bot lists everything it says to sell. Two bots, one clean garage

  Before YouTube I tried everything to make some extra money. Dropshipping. DJing nightclubs. Running events. Selling stickers. Amazon-to-eBay arbitrage. And every one of them had the same problems. You need big money up front, or there's not much room to grow, or the margins are so thin it's barely worth the effort. Usually all three at once. But YouTube is different. It costs almost nothing to start. You can put as many hours into it as you want, whenever it suits you. And you can build it around a full-time job. Which is exactly what I did. The other things I tried all hit a ceiling eventually. But this one still hasn't. I've scaled channels to 100 million plus views, and taken clients to $100,000 months. And my own channel has had months of over $10,000, while being a side gig. So if you want to give it a go, I've put what I know into an 8-week course on how to grow and monetise a YouTube channel. Follow and comment "YouTube" below for more info.

  There’s no maths behind that number. Revenue of $5M or $10M tells you nothing about whether an ad account will make money. Margin and payback do. At $700k, 80 cent margins, money back inside a quarter, go and buy traffic on Monday. A $12M business scrapping over insurance keywords might never make paid work at any level of spend. Nobody invoices you for content and outreach, so everyone files them under free. Twenty founder hours a week on cold outreach is the priciest acquisition channel in the company. You’ll never see it in the CAC number. The most cited evidence against paid search is Blake, Nosko and Tadelis in Econometrica, 2015. They ran shutoff experiments at eBay. Brand keywords showed no measurable short-term benefit. On non-brand keywords, new and infrequent users did respond, while heavy users who responded to nothing absorbed most of the spend, so average returns were negative. Everybody quotes that and stops. eBay was turning over about $14 billion a year. It was paying to reach people who already knew who it was. The lift sat with the strangers. When nobody has heard of you, they’re all strangers. So the advice is to build until everyone knows your name, then start buying ads at roughly the point the evidence says they stop paying for themselves. The cost argument is upside down too. If auctions keep getting dearer, the cheapest tuition on offer is a bad $4k month with nobody watching. Learning the same lesson at $400k a quarter, with a board in the room, is a very different afternoon.

  Just like to say I'm not enjoying AI at all How about You?? Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

  One guy in a home server rack is running four Grok Bots that hunt eBay for Sony PVMs, track Galaxy Z Fold observations, and remember what he cared about yesterday. The article above is the 26 bot version of what he's doing, scaled to cover everything a brain is supposed to hold. Four bots in the video, named Otis, Scout, Milo, and Notion. Each has one job, all sharing the same cloud computer so their memory stacks instead of resetting each session. The author's setup extends that from 4 to 26 named agents like Voice Notes, Task Queue, Contact Graph, Idea Vault, Knowledge Graph. One Chief routes between them like a shift manager, and none of them forget what happened last week. That last part is what changes the product category. A chat tab is a fresh session every time. A Second Brain is the same room where you left your notebook open yesterday. Tiago Forte named the methodology years ago. The framework has PARA folders and a capture organize distill express workflow. The stack to run it never existed until now. Notion held the folders but didn't do the thinking. Chat tabs did the thinking but forgot the folders. Grok Bot's persistent shared cloud computer is what makes the methodology executable in software for the first time, because memory across sessions turned out to matter more than the model or the prompt. The three monetization paths in the article come with real numbers. Solo operators can sell this as a $1,500 to $3,000 setup with a monthly retainer, capping at around 13 active clients before their own hours become the bottleneck. The video is one guy's personal use case. The article scales it to an operator playbook you can sell. What's the one thing your brain keeps forgetting that would actually pay you back if a bot remembered it for you?
