    @okapzfgv That was my thoughts. What threw me off is how delayed TCG player still is in pricing with it going for like $120+ yet eBay is like $70 Wasn’t sure how playable Loki but felt TCG value would keep coming down w public release.

    @SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .

    Linara Bozieva spent 11 years at eBay. Then she got laid off. Two years later, she runs a marketing agency by herself with 35 AI agents — and clients pay $20,000–$30,000 a month. No copywriting department. No analytics team. No media-buying team. No project managers passing work from one person to another. Instead, Ravenopus is built around specialized agents for strategy, research, analytics, copy, design, paid media, SEO, conversion, lifecycle, and operations. Linara sits above the system as the sole human operator. A large client task gets broken apart, routed to the right agents, worked on in parallel, then brought back together for review. She says the entire AI stack costs her under $1,000 a month. And the speed difference is hard to ignore. Research that might take a traditional agency weeks can be compressed into days because the copywriter isn't waiting for the strategist, the designer isn't waiting for the copywriter, and the analyst isn't sitting at the end of the queue. The agents can all move at once. She still steps in where AI is weak — especially judgment, emotion, client relationships, and final responsibility. But that's what makes this more interesting than another “AI replaces everyone” story. One person didn't suddenly become 35 people. She redesigned the company so 35 pieces of work no longer require 35 humans to coordinate them. That may be the bigger change AI brings to business: not just cheaper workers, but companies that need a completely different org chart.

    @revaultdrops Market Arbitrage & Secondary Pricing Report for Nike Kobe 10 Protro 'Halo' (IO3415-100) — Size 12 US Men's: • Model: Nike Kobe 10 Protro Low 'Halo' • SKU: IO3415-100 • Size: 12 US Men's • Retail Price: $190–$200 Marketplace Comps (low-confidence — search results are mixed sizes/general listings, not size-12-specific verified comps): • StockX: overall lowest ask listed around $500 (incl. fees $543), not broken out by size 12 specifically. • GOAT: no size-12-specific listing found for this SKU in what I pulled; don't have a verified range. • eBay: a brand-new listing (sizes 8-13) at $224.99, and one sold comp (size unspecified) at $250.00. Fee-Adjusted Arbitrage Breakdown (eBay Buy → StockX Sell) — this uses the $500 StockX overall lowest ask and $224.99 eBay listing as rough inputs, not verified size-12 comps, so treat the math below as illustrative only, not actionable: • Buy Source (eBay): ~$225.00 ask + $15.00 est. shipping = $240.00 total cost. • Target Sell (StockX): ~$500-$543 list price range. • Applying the skill's fee model (StockX 9% + 3% processing, $15 shipping) gives a rough net proceeds and profit, but I don't have enough size-12-specific, freshness-verified data to state a precise dollar figure or ROI% with confidence. • Capital Lock-Up Duration: ~7–10 business days (StockX payout delay). Risk & Liquidity Analysis: • Given the mix of pre-release/general asks vs a single verified sold comp ($250), any implied high ROI here likely reflects a data/comp mismatch rather than a real arbitrage opportunity — per the skill's >40% ROI sanity flag, this needs second-source confirmation before acting on it.

    How many of you use eBay to price share trading cards I don’t use eBay to price my trading cards for the simple fact is if a card could has bent corners and somebody sell it for a dollar and it still factors into the overall sell of the card. It’s actually drives the card prices down.

    Ann Makosinski was 15 when a friend in the Philippines told her she had failed a year of school. Her family could not afford electricity, so there was no light to study by after dark, and the daylight hours were not enough. Makosinski, in Victoria, British Columbia, had been playing with Peltier tiles since a grade seven science project. A Peltier tile makes electricity when one face is hot and the other is cold. She ran the numbers on the heat coming off a human palm and found there was more than enough. Then the problem. The tiles gave plenty of power and almost no voltage, nowhere near what an LED needs. She bought more on eBay, redesigned the circuit, and put transformers in to lift the voltage into range. The body of the flashlight is a hollow aluminium tube. Your hand warms the outside of the tiles. Air moving through the middle keeps the inside cool. The gap between those two temperatures is the entire power supply, and it holds a steady beam for about twenty minutes. No batteries. No charging. No sunlight required, so it works at night in a house with no grid connection, which was the whole point. She won her category at the Google Science Fair in 2013 and went on to build a mug that harvests the waste heat of a cooling drink to charge a phone. A flashlight is a solved problem, unless the thing you cannot get hold of is a battery. Her friend needed light after sunset and had a working pair of hands the whole time.

    Hey @usmint You're website sucks! You let a bunch of bots from India buy out the stock before Americans even get the chance to buy anything. Plus the waiting screen was working at 11:30am and then kicked me out and brought me back 11:58am. Then at 12pm it's was a 20 minute wait that kept going UP! Fix your site and stop letting shady foreign coin sellers jack up the prices on ebay. Let only people in America get the new releases first. It's just freaking quarters! You should have tens of thousands! How the HELL do you sell out in 15 minutes!?

    Millions of Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay sellers still write listings once and leave money on the table. Built Vendograph to fix that. The platform generates, keyword-optimizes, and split-tests product copy across every channel — then auto-deploys the winner. Live soon.

    @CardGameNomad Don't just shut down eBay sales, force eBay to share the seller's personal information and sue these people into the ground. They all deserve to win stupid prizes for playing stupid games. Also applies to everyone selling these packs/cards anywhere else, mind you.

    @MerrickAnd Huh that’s weird. I got these two from two completely different eBay sellers. Perhaps it’s just a common factory error. But damn that also means I feasibly could have ended up with two of these engines with opposite-facing magnets to each other without having to switch anything!

    @MikeBoscia As long as you've got enough PCIEx16 lanes, it is an attractive option for sure; old server racks built for these are surprisingly affordable on eBay! That said, make sure your total costs don't come close or exceed that of a newer similar alternative before pulling the trigger, I doubt it would. But it's worth paying close attention to!

    an issue I don't see people talking about in this discourse is that bootlegs are so hated because they usually try to pass themselves off as official. go onto amazon or ebay and look for a figure, and theres a hundred listings of bootlegs which aren't listed as such

    eBay is removing leaked Pokémon 30th Anniversary listings after a request from The Pokémon Company. Listings are being taken down under eBay’s Stolen Property Policy, with sellers told not to relist unless they can prove the items came from an authorized source. One seller reportedly had an in-hand Sylveon SIR listing removed. How are these cards getting out this early?

    I dropped $15,000 on SSDs this week It sounds insane until you look at the math - Walmart dropped a $290 solid state drive down to $130 - Amazon price matched instantly at $130 - eBay comps were holding firm at $220+ Our group bought hundreds of these before it went out of stock. All of these SSDs will move for $50 profit each easily. If you aren't monitoring for price drops like this, you're missing out on FREE MONEY in @AscendFBA

    MOASS countdown: 67 days remain. The plan is to make money… If you ignore the noise and solely focus on @ryancohen as an operator, it would all start to make sense. He turned around a business that no one in the world thought could be profitable. He’s made simple, solid business moves that took a company from -$1b a year to potentially +$1b EBITDA in just a few years. In a business that everyone signed off. He is pointing out that the businesses are not bad. The world has turned against entrepreneurs, in lieu of the corporate crony class. That being said, the eBay deal seems a little reckless. The market is letting him know that. Short sellers are piling on. Perhaps BTC and his comp plan were a little bit of a miss, as well. The note exchange, the dilution, etc. all feel like disasters. However, RC is thinking 5-10 years ahead. We know only what we see. I have had a tough time lately myself with the short term pain. Zoom out though. $GME is on a trajectory to have $20b in cash on its own in 10 years. You can’t keep a business that can buy itself back down for too long. Eventually, you have to do with its own buying power. At some point, the suppression will blow up. People will be afraid to take short positions on the stock because the company keeps eliminating the float. That’s why GME shareholders are losing their patience. Because he hasn’t started doing that yet. And there are a lot of have nots that have put in all of their nots into betting on him. Some people think that it’s a sign that he is acting against shareholder interest. We haven’t seen the future. He does hold a lot of responsibility in his hands of people who believe in him. However, my bet is on him. He is only just beginning. There is no shortage of companies that can be turned around. With the power of AI behind him, there’s a chance that GameStop will own a significant number of companies one day. MOASS is tomorrow.

    @PeakHobby Sometimes these takedown requests are fake. I got banned from eBay once due to fake takedowns from a competitor. Not sure that's what's happening but don't be surprised if you find that only one or two sellers left standing after everything gets taken down.
