  GameStop $GME shares their preliminary Q2 earnings - Net sales: $780M to $800M, down from $972.2M - Operating income: $150M to $170M, up from $66.4M - Net income: $290M to $310M, up from $168.6M - Cash and marketable securities: $5.050B to $5.070B, down from $8.694B During the quarter they converted their eBay derivative position into a straight equity stake. As of August 1 they held about 43.4 million shares of eBay, worth roughly $4.947 billion. Sales fell about 19%. Management gave three reasons: last year had the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, they closed stores on purpose, and they sold off the France business. Sales dropped almost $200 million and operating income still MORE THAN DOUBLED. Net income of roughly $300 million against operating income of roughly $160 million is not from selling games. About $238 million of it came from gains on the eBay derivative and equity position, and that was partly offset by about a $75 million loss on digital assets and related receivables. Currently up 3% in premarket $18.46

  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?

  He built an autonomous Grok Bot named Reaper, handed it his credit card debt and told it to pay off his credit card debt for him. He gave the bot its own computer in the cloud and access to his email. Then he basically said: “This debt is your problem now. Don’t ask me for money. Just report back every night.” What Reaper actually did • canceled old subscriptions he’d forgotten • talked the credit card company into a lower interest rate • moved most of the balance to a 0% card • got a couple of charges refunded • sold his unused PlayStation and monitors on eBay • put every extra dollar it found toward the debt I spoke to him and he said he plans to work on more upgrades and refine its function He is fully onboard and will join the community to tell us about his future plans Ca;

  Beware of this eBay seller. Purchased a J Baez lot when he was hot and I had to cancel and refund him because it sold on Mercari probably 15 minutes prior. He purchased it literally as I was taking down the eBay listing. I messaged him and apologized and refunded him immediately. Well… he left negative feedback and said he never got the cards.

  @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.

  @melvo24 eBay fees! Promoted listings- you can choose what percentage you want to pay from your listing in exchange for eBay promoting your items Below standard fees are if you are a below standard seller. This has to do with performance metrics (defects, unresolved issues, late shipping etc) and extra fees are charged to sellers who fall into the below standard seller ranking.

  $GME GameStop’s preliminary Q2 FY2026 numbers are out: 1) So revenue looks ugly at first glance, down roughly 18–20% YoY. But GameStop specifically attributes that to the prior year Nintendo Switch 2 launch, planned store closures, and divesting its French operations. 2) The much more interesting number is operating income. They’re expecting $150–170M versus $66.4M last year, meaning operating profit has more than doubled despite materially lower revenue. 3) There’s an important caveat with that $290/310M net income, though. It isn’t all coming from GameStop’s underlying retail business. GameStop says Q2 includes approximately: +$238M net gains related to its eBay derivative/equity investment −$75M loss on digital assets and related receivables. So we shouldn’t look at $300M net income and conclude the core business suddenly generated $300M. 4) And that huge decline from $8.694B → $5.06B cash/securities isn’t simply GameStop burning $3.6B. A major reason is that GameStop converted its eBay derivative exposure into direct eBay equity, which moves those assets out of the cash/cash-equivalents/marketable-securities bucket shown here. 5) The most important number here is the operating income of $150–170M, on only $780–800M revenue. At the midpoint, that’s roughly: $160M / $790M = 20.3% operating margin. Versus: $66.4M / $972.2M = 6.8% last year. That’s a massive margin expansion. That operating income jump is arguably the strongest part of these prelims. Full Q2 results are currently scheduled for September 8. *TLDR: Revenue ↓ -19% Operating income ↑ +141% Net income ↑ +78% Operating margin 6.8% → 20%

  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

  Making an informative post here about High-end #Riftbound market prices and stuff to be aware of after talking with several other high-end people, and also corroborating some of the prices on select items w/ @SehnbonTCG and others. As I'm seeing so much discussion on prices of cards/sales history on my timeline. I think it's important for there to be data points people can use, and then of course verification of things. So much discussion on Ahri/Jinx/Teemo card variants and also T1 boxes/signatures and misc rare items. Here is what certain letters will mean next to sale points: nc = noncompleted. pc = pure cash. c+t = cash and trade. t = trade. t = pure trade. o = offer. ? = Supposedly exists but I can't find anyone to 100% confirm. Best-Of Ahri: 46.2k (c+t), 30k, 30.3k, 30k, 32k, 42k, 35k, 40k, 50k, 45k, 115k, 133k, 270k (c+t), 200k< (? pc attempting to verify) is the the timeline of this cards sales not including exchanges of hands Best-Of Jinx: 30k, 25k, 28.5k, 30k, 26k, 25k, 33k, 60k(?) Best-Of Teemo: 3Xk(nc), 20k, 22k, 20k, 25k, 60k (onc), ?, 80k, ? BL OGN Sig Ahri: 45.5k (c+t), 50k(pc), 35k, 40k, 52k, 60k(c+t), 80k, One currently exists on consignment iirc. PSA10 MBA Black Diamond did NOT cause the PSA price to go up. BL SFD Sig Ahri: 16k, 18k, 20k(pc), 24k, 25k, 30k, 39k, 31k(c+t), 35k, 32k + Wild reported price points that aren't reflected in ebay auctions or requests BL Kai'Sa Sig: 32.5k, 40k, 45k, ? / Currently 2 are attempting to be sold w/ offers as high as 70k-80. BL GGEZ Teemo: 22k, 20k, 16k(pc), 25k, 20k(pc), 30k, 55k, 45k BL Panda Teemo: 10k, 45k, ? Other known BL Sigs: Various price points between 8k to 25k on recent sales, with the MF BL sale at 39k being most notable. Viktor jumped around from high 4's to almost 30k to now recently having been sold for low 20's. Lee Sin also has some interesting price points similar. Prizewall Metals: Highest sale point was 35k for Ahri and 20k+ for Teemo, several pure cash ones around 20~25k mark. Prize walls have been crashing hard recently. I believe as people realize PSA doesn't mean anything and so prices are starting to reflect the standard 10-12x divider of the best-Ofs + market correction. T1 English boxes: Lots of sales did happen at 9k+ price points. But there is a plethora of comps publicly searchable on Twitter/FB/etc around 3~4k. Current Ebay sales are around 4.5~5.5k The thing about the boxes is that you stand to open a Faker 20% of the time, and so their price is carried a bit by that. Figuring out a proper multipler on a sealed one risk is tricky. Watching how sale points go for Doran/Oner/Guma/Keria will affect the ebb and flow of boxes early on. Watching the current live auctions will be a good indicator of how things for sealed is going to turn out on these. Unlike Korean, English sealed boxes gain less by remaining sealed due to the absence of the godbox potential. T1 Korean boxes: These started at $3k~ and have gone down to $1.7~$2.1k steady, which is more impressive than ENG variant crash imo. It should be known that they [can] be found locally in Korea at price points between $943 USD to $1.4k USD range. They have gone up and down the past two weeks. To search these yourself go on bunjang dot co dot kr and search: 리프트바운드 T1 시그니처 . You can often be ghosted by the lister and the other scary thing about this is you need to confirm you're dealing with a Korean inside of Korea - otherwise the person can take the money and not deliver and Korean police will have no ability to do anything. Korean's are tied to their KSSN and can be tracked. Generally shipping is also a nightmare internationally and can add a lot of costs. Usually you'll need to pay a Korean to assist with these things due to the risk involved and headaches that can follow Korean T1 boxes have the godbox chance (0.4%) to get a signed box by the players. I expect there to be a clash on Korean vs English of select serials just going off requests/offers. T1 Chinese boxes: Like the Korean ones these are going for around $1200, but can be sourced locally in China for lower. Unfortunately these are harder to search than the Korean ones without assistance from someone who can make accounts on the sites. They can be found locally in China for as low as $650 in rare occasions. Unsure of the process of getting these out of China. Usually it involves a multi-step process and then the shipping also like Korea is a nightmare to anywhere outside of APAC regions. I don't see/get asked about these much at all, but honestly when I see some of the big sales in China from chinese collectors there might actually be more value to these than most people think. [IF] you hit the ultra rare serials lol. Random Best-Of's: Middle popular ones: Seems floor is around 35k~50k range. Non popular ones: The floor seems to be just below 20k where they are actively selling currently for a lot of the cards, but some have seen sales at low 10's. A general good rule for Best-Of's is to multiply the cards metal price for famous cards by 10-12x, and by 4-6x for non-popular ones. Misc rare things/limited promos: - Sealed Project K - Very hard to get data points on this, fast sales seem to be possible around 30k. - Riot VIP Summit mats/boxes - Very hard to get data points on this as well. For Ebay sale price point data, one of the most important things to do is 'see original listing' and check when/how/who did the bidding war. Even if you can't see the ID you can still see if it was just a battle of 2 people the entire time. This is unfortunately one of the potentially unfortunate sides of high-end because you can't tell if the auction is even legit. We saw this happen on a few Kai'Sa PSA10 auctions where the bidding history didn't make any sense and other BIN's sitting around didn't reflect the sudden bid-war. An example of a healthy bid-war that looks real you can search the BL SFD Ahri from July (both). Going to conclude with this: It seems like some stuff has slowed down and a market correction is going on, but at the same time some seem interested to prevent it. There is a need for transparency on these items and I hope this tweet can act as a source for some of it. Additionally I've heard claims of higher sell points on some cards but there is nothing reasonable for me to confirm it and so you won't see the numbers in this post. I'll likely end up discussing more stuff in a video at a later point. If you have questions feel free to DM my main @LSXYZ9 but please note I can be slow to reply depending on volume of messages on some days. I've been doing high-end collecting of MTG/PKMN/YGO for about 9 years now, but obviously I'm treating it a lot more serious with Riftbound because I love the game. Soon I'll be having a better data tracker for difficult to find sale data, and I'll also be having a website to help with things like this.
