  @D1Tracey They're fascinating, the dolls house in the photo was put on eBay in error towards the end of the run, we spotted it as we put a low bid in to see if it was something we might buy, we're fans, but,the error was spotted and a fan came to a private agreement to buy it, they then..

  @bigwerms Side notes, do you know ebay in Europe doesnt have the $0.78 PWE option. Thats why no low end cards can be sold online and nobody seems to fix that issue.

  predicting your future is ridiculously difficult. at least for me: 2006: thought I‘d become a neuroscientist, doctor or software engineer  2008: studied economics and thought I‘d become a quant/consultant/banker 2010: barely attended class as I grinded HU Online Poker from $50 -> $100k and thought I‘d be a millionaire in my 20s  2011: FullTilt Black Friday and thought online poker is dead (sooo wrong in hindsight) 2012: Joined Tesla 2012 to help sell the Roadster in Munich and thought I‘d be supporting the EV mission the next 10yrs Tesla had no job extension for me (broke my heart). Joined Wayfair in Berlin and hunted across furniture trade shows to persuade manufacturers to sell online.  2015: declined an offer from Amazon in Munich and thought we stay in Berlin 2016: accepted an offer from Ricardo (eBay of Switzerland) and relocated to Switzerland 2019: wrote off my remaining $50k in Tesla stock and thought at least I supported a mission I love 2020: promoted to Chief Commercial Officer at Ricardo and thought I might have a chance to lead it one day 2021: $50k in Tesla turned into $ 4M+ on paper, quit Ricardo, hedged portfolio buying physical metals, $/€/CHF and 1yr deep OOM puts on QQQ and thought I‘m financially free for life 2022: „I‘m born for this and will hit $ 10M+ by end of the year“ as my QQQ puts went bananas | Dec: portfolio -50% YoY as puts expired worthless and largest positions: Tesla/BTC down 75% 2023: after trying 1.5 yrs to get a second child we decided to just be happy with one. 2nd child born at the end of 2023 2024 (Auction)Shack launched with basically zero usage. Thought it‘s over before it started 2025: largest Swiss newspaper reported on Shack, we hit rank 1 on the iOS charts in Switzerland, expanding to other countries and thought we‘d be at $100M val in no time (having awesome funding available to build the most value for regular sellers). 2026: banging my head against walls to close institutional funding at $4M val and thinking: what does the pattern have in store for 2027 bottom line: I‘ve been incredibly lucky and predictions (even about one’s own future) are not trivial

  @AshtonEck8 Problem is its always hard to tell a value just using previous sales. And depending how patient you are, you will find a buyer. For example, this same card sold for $180 just 2 months ago on ebay. BUT a gold version in PSA 10, sold for $80...so both of yall have a good case. haha

  @AdamSykesWirral First mover. It’s hard to compete when the first mover is so far ahead. The only real competitor would be someone like Tesco who could (if they haven’t) open their website to other suppliers like Walmart has. But even Walmarts selection doesn’t come close to Amazon. The problem is attracting suppliers in the first place, eg the Chinese. And they already have it covered with Amazon. And remember, Amazon only took #1 spot because EBay screwed everything up 15 years ago.

  Instead of thinking: "Who would buy a broken laser pointer?" Omidyar realised: "Wait. The Internet can connect a person who has something with another person somewhere else who wants exactly that thing." That became eBay. Internet = marketplace connecting strangers.

  Peter Thiel co-founded a company for $10,000. Four years later, eBay bought it for $1.5 billion. He says almost none of that came from doing what everyone else was already doing. Peter Thiel co-founded PayPal, made the first outside investment in Facebook, and co-founded Palantir. In a Chicago Ideas talk called Going from Zero to One, he laid out the framework from his bestselling book — and it cuts against almost everything startup culture teaches. There are two ways to grow, he says. Horizontal — copying what already works, 1 to n. Vertical — doing something that's never existed, 0 to 1. Globalization is the first kind. Technology is the second. Here's the part that should bother you. Thiel says competition is not the opposite of capitalism. It's the enemy of it. A business making zero economic profit in a competitive market can't invest in R&D, can't pay employees well, can't plan more than a quarter ahead. Monopoly — not competition — is what generates the profit that funds the next leap forward. Google's search share has sat above 90% for years. Its margins have stayed enormous the entire time. That's not an accident of scale. That's the entire model. Most founders won't say the word "monopoly" out loud. Thiel says that's the tell. The ones who deny they have one usually don't — they're marketing themselves for antitrust lawyers, not customers. Then the line that separates his framework from every generic pitch-deck slide. "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?" Not a hot take. Not contrarianism for its own sake. A truth that's actually true, that the market hasn't priced in yet. He says most founders can describe their business plan. Almost none of them can answer that question. If they can't, they're building a 1-to-n company — competing in a crowded field, racing margins to zero. PayPal in 1999 wasn't fighting banks head-on. It found a tiny, underserved niche — internet-native micropayments — dominated it completely, then expanded outward. Thiel calls this "start with a monopoly in a small market." Not because small is safe. Because ********** is the whole point, and ********** only happens at a scale you can actually control first. Save this one. Every "best practice" in business was built by someone who broke one first — and never wrote down how.

  I have my Dottolone mini figurines but somehow, my Dottore has a little chipped paint on his sash thingy (whatever the name of that braided cord attached to the Fatui badge is called) and so does my Pantalone (because I ordered him off eBay and the shipper didn’t put him safely in a sturdy box…) I do know more or less what paint they use to “colour” the figurines, so I bought some (acrylic, soft) and will be doing a small bit of diy to fix them. Hopefully all goes well, because I’m planning to take the Dottolones to AnimeNYC this Friday. #genshinimpact

  @madskilz15 @CardPurchaser There are quite a few listings like this on eBay. eBay said there isn’t anything they can do & there’s no “authenticity” for packs. Once you purchase/open, & if seller doesn’t have returns turned on, nothing you can do aside from leaving bad feedback (then they’ll shut acct down)

  I would love to hear any coherent explanation of what tf @ryancohen is doing. I am literally down to two explanations. He’s either a hedgie. Or he’s setting up for MOASS. Nothing else makes sense. Let’s raise convertible notes to buy a bunch of $BTC! Just kidding let’s wait as long as possible and then only buy a tiny bit at all time highs. Okay well, then let’s use it to buy a company 84 times the size of ours, that’s also at all time highs! We can exchange our convertible notes now to clean up the balance sheet so we can buy $EBAY! Well let’s not really buy @eBay, but for sure let’s dilute our company to the maximum for seemingly no reason at all. Every one of these things brings extensive short pressure to our beloved stock. You would have to be so beyond regarded to not know that’s what was going to happen. Yet he still for some reason created dividend warrants, which also bring on their own arbitrage pressure. You see the problem? Why would someone who wanted to reward shareholders do all these things that clearly prevented that. He’s surely knew every single thing he was going to do this past year and if you don’t think that, you should stop eating crayons. He’s a hedgie. Or MOASS is coming. I do not see an alternative explanation. Because if it’s not MOASS, then he is full regard, or worse, and someone should take the controller out of his hands.

  @93rdmin @Gav_Griffiths The obsession with ebay and online selling was getting crazy. Shops were already run very short, and they started asking people to list 6-8 items per day on Gumtree and all this crap. Just shotgun approach. Management no real ideas about retail or how to fix core problems.

  @craig_vent94132 @Pittsburgh1Pete That is usually where it shows up first. Card money is the most discretionary money there is, so the hobby feels a squeeze months before anyone writes an article about it. Slow eBay is a leading indicator, not a Pokemon problem.

  @thatsKAIZEN Tariffs are not bad they are Great . The problem is that consumers are not happy to pay them. You have so many small businesses that employ people here and try to make money, but because people from China either make copies of those products and just drop them here, or whatever else happens, it creates a difficult environment. When tariffs are really implemented, I know for a fact that multiple people made more money because the shipping was on point for them. We had the de minimis tariffs, which meant everything under $100 entered this country free from Temu and others. This is the problem with tariffs that people do not understand. You have people in America who design board games, puzzles, T-shirts, and a bunch of other stuff. These are small businesses that feed their families and employ a couple of people, and they are all over the country. We are still the second-biggest manufacturer after China. People in China do well, but they don't do anything; another American grabs a product, sends it to China, and says, "Make a copy of that, we're going to sell it." Even if we are the second-biggest manufacturer in the world, if the guy cannot sell it in America, China just stops dropping it on Amazon, eBay, or whatever. Look at Amazon: how many products are from China? They just ship them to Amazon, and they sell them cheap, even after Amazon fees and everything else. You have Alibaba and all those other sites. A lot of people do not understand this because they are only looking at whether their laptop or their TV is going to go up in price. But there are other things that are made in this country things that should and could very easily be made in this country. Instead, you have all these people working gig jobs, the Ubers and the delivery apps. You know how many delivery apps we have? Half the country uses them, and the other half works for them. Nobody makes money, but there are no other jobs. You think people don't want to work a normal nine-to-five job at a factory? It's not like a sweatshop back in the day; factories are not like that anymore. People do not understand what this "Chinese special" is, where they can bring anything into this country below $100 with no fees, nothing. All this junk was poured into this country. And if you are an American company and you want to make it in China using more or less slave labor because you want the cheap stuff, that's on you. You should be paying for that if you don't hire Americans. We can make these products in this country. Some Department of Labor regulations in certain states are over the board, meaning they just don't let people make money properly. That is why you cannot hire them; they all end up working for Uber, and Uber just pays millions of dollars every month in Department of Labor fines while people continue to work on 1099s. But that is a different story. Tariffs may or may not reduce the economy, but people who don't understand manufacturing don't understand the benefit of tariffs. Most of the people in this country are employed by small businesses, and those businesses can employ more people in steady jobs where you don't have to sit for 14 hours in a car, six hours a day, waiting for the next job to deliver food or drive somebody around, making no money and killing your car, basically bringing its value to zero. People do not understand how good tariffs are just for that just to create more jobs in small businesses. If you are not a manufacturing business, you just cannot comprehend how much money is lost by small businesses because of Chinese junk or copies. They cannot take the million-dollar lawsuits, and it is incredible how people don't understand that. Tariffs are very important. That is why every country has them; not only do they make money on it, but they protect their manufacturing. Look what happened in Europe. They allowed Chinese cars in, and look how many sales they lost. Look how much sales they lost in other countries. VW now had to shut down their plants. Are you kidding me?

  Some of the big updates that have happened so far. - Browser extension where you can see your bid pop up window for streamers that use Pumpfun to go live - Adding a Ebay like marketplace for people to sell their items freely without having to go live - Ebay takes 15 - 18 percent of your sales while Bidit only takes 4 percent that goes back into the coin - Points you can earn by just using the site to get an airdrop at the end of the month - Escrow safety net after a sale so you don't get scammed you need to verify your item got to you before a seller gets your money - New emotes added to chats - Now able to stream not just on Pumpfun but on Bidit itself - And now able to auction up NFTs on the marketplace. This is a slow cook in my opinion and can become someting massive in the crypto space not gonna lie. So many normies are in to TCG streams as seen on Whatnot and many people use Ebay every day to sell their items. Why not use a platform like this where sellers gain more money after selling while also being the flywheel for the community coin created. Dev is constantly shipping and I hope to see many people realize the potential this coin has ngl.
