  @PhysicReleases Sony announcement affecting Switch 2 3rd party games. Can't find Indiana Jones and Great Circle anywhere, except for $100+ on ebay. Lies of P will probably have same issue in Oct. Cyberpunk 2077 was discounted on Amazon for months, now new copies full price, up to $60 on ebay.

  My read of what’s happening with $GME currently: - Cohen said half cash half stock - eBay rejected - he said he’d be going directly to the owners - he asked shareholders to grant him more share authorization to get the deal done - he said dilution is coming but it will be accretive - he issues shares by converting 1/3 of the bonds via private placement - he leaks a rumour that causes eBay to lose the bid premium and mentions vanguard as the largest eBay holder So what’s going on? It’s apparent. Cohen went to the institutions directly, told them the plan. He goes to the biggest eBay shareholder. Vanguard - who also owns substantial GME, flips. They enter the private placement and get shares at $18. Now an institution that also owns eBay got their stock of $GME already. 1/3 of the convertible overhang is gone. But why and what’s coming next? The only reason why he would issue shares this way is because like he said it’s the most accretive. But if this is the case, then it’s pointing to the setup of a proper cash offer. Why else would an institution want $GME at $18? Because they know when the the fully financed tender comes, they will have all the profit. And Larry Cheng tracking this exact metric right before the bid, after the bonds were setup proves that this was the purpose of Project Rocket the entire time.

  PLEASE RETWEET I cannot believe the scummy sales tactics @TCGplayer. I purchased a QCR OSS at 45 dollars and two days later the price spiked. Low and behold an Ultra copy of the card arrives. Its worth .35 cents. Customer support doesn't want to honor the original price, they only want to issue a refund so I can repurchase the card FOR 35 DOLLARS MORE THAN MY INITIAL PURCHASE. I bought TCG Direct and never thought I would recieve Ebay level scummy sales tactics like this. Likes and retweets are appreciated, I refuse to be treated this poorly by their customer service.

  Bo No's – The story of a card design he hated In the spring of 2021 Topps, riding high on their successful Project 2020 art card series, teamed with Project artist Keith Shore (@keith_shore) to recreate Ken Griffey Jr.'s iconic 1989 Bowman card pose using 40 different past and present MLB players. Part of the excitement of the release was multiple player autographs including Topps newly resigned Bo Jackson.   On May 17, 2021 the Bo auto card was released for purchase in /89, /25, /10, /5, and 1/1 formats. I was fortunate enough to grab the /25 version for my budding resale hobby. I purchased the card for $200, listed, and subsequently sold it on eBay for $400. I thought it was a great win, however, there were months of delays from Topps which forced cancellation of the eBay sale. Eventually we learned that Bo had refused to sign the cards and on 9/21/2021 Topps made a pivot to replace these cards with another player, Shohei Ohtani.   While not an instantaneous process, the card was produced, signed, and delivered in the spring of 2022 with little fanfare. I eventually bought a special mag case specific to the oversized 1989 design and crossed the card and Topps label over from the original top loader.   I have now had the card tucked away for 4 years and I have decided to sell this now huge card to fund my guitar addiction. Currently it is not listed because the biggest problem is trying to price it since comps are few and far between. I'm beginning to think this may now be a $7500 card. Bo saying "No" has been a definite win for me. Thank you Bo!

  @samh8876 I keep checking Mercari and EBay; just scrolling, if there something where the bid isn’t high I submit one and hope for the best. They will have to go down eventually. I’m living under the if it’s meant to be, it’ll be 🫶🏼 Still have my eyes peeled for preorders/news for us

  A Yale class that costs $86,000 a year is the reason Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth can price you perfectly. Yale posted it for free in 2008. Millions watched. Almost nobody used it. The professor is Ben Polak — Yale's former Provost, and one of the most-watched lecturers on the internet. His course, ECON 159: Game Theory, breaks down into a handful of ideas quietly running every market you touch. Dominant strategies. If one move wins no matter what your opponent does, take it. Everything else in game theory exists because this almost never happens. Nash equilibria. The point where nobody can do better by moving alone. Every wage, every auction bid, every market price you've ever seen is one. Auction design. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is English ascending. Treasury bills are Dutch descending. Same math, different formats — each one extracts a different amount of money from you depending on which one you're in. Tit-for-tat. In Robert Axelrod's 1980 tournament, the simplest strategy on earth beat every complex algorithm entered against it. It's still why most stable business relationships work. Polak's one certain rule, repeated every semester: "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." Retail traders break it constantly — doubling down on a loser because taking the loss feels worse than the risk of losing more. The lectures are free. The problem sets are free. The equations fit in thirty pages. The math was never the moat. Sitting through 24 hours of it before you open a bid box, a terminal, or a negotiation — that's the part almost nobody does.

  German mid-market sellers are losing margins to real-time price wars across Amazon, Otto, Kaufland and eBay. Built Marktluchs to fix that — autonomous AI agents watch prices, stock and delivery times 24/7, trigger reorders, and defend margins without humans in the loop.

  @storyofthegoats I just wrote this in an eBay review last night. The card I’ve been waiting for was a few weeks late but showed as shipped. Once it comes, it also has a nice ‘91 Will Clark as the filler. It always works out. Hundreds and hundreds of cards and the number of errors are nil.

  GameStop is Escalating their Bid in Public Bloomberg reports @ryancohen is "considering withdrawing" the eBay bid and exploring a JV + board seat instead. The market is reading this as backing down and pivoting to a different 'partnership' approach. Read it again through the VWAP window. Today is trading day 6 of 35. Every closing price between now and September 23 determines how many shares the convertible noteholders receive. What was the single largest weight on $GME's price during this window? The market pricing in $20B+ in acquisition debt. That weight just got removed. By a headline. On day 6. Notice what this 'pivot' does as well. The share dilution is now OFF THE TABLE. But this conversion means that shares are still being distributed out during this VWAP period. Meanwhile eBay loses the bid premium. $125 offer softening means eBay drifts back toward standalone value and the board's leverage weakens every day the premium bleeds. And Cohen at 9.8% ownership requesting a board seat isn't a consolation prize. It's the second-largest shareholder telling the board: I have the institutional relationships to get in this room whether you open the door or not. The convertible exchange proved that last week. One more thing. The SWF rumor ran through the same media sourcing channel weeks ago. Same "people familiar with the matter." I laid out the staircase thesis three days ago. Week 1 was the floor. Week 2 was supposed to be a reframing catalyst. Here we are. The week has just begun.

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth extracts over $500B a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86k/year to sit in the room. He posted every lecture for free in 2008. Millions watched. Almost no one used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. Former Provost of Yale. One of the most watched university lecturers in internet history. Course: ECON 159 – Game Theory (Fall 2007). 24 lectures. His name is Ben Polak. Former Provost of Yale.

Polak’s first rule every semester: “Never play a strictly dominated strategy.” Retail traders break it every day when they add to losing positions because realizing the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are still free. The problem sets are still online. The math costs nothing. The discipline to actually study it before you negotiate, bid, or trade is the rare part.

  @ChaddSchroy @greuter83 @ryancohen Wow. The misunderstanding is actually compounding. The lower GME is, the more it’d need to dilute for spot issuance in an eBay transaction, so GME falling from $21 to $18.60 after retiring this $1.4B debt, assumes GME would need to issue another ~150M on the eBay side. Not how rollover equity is structured though

  @BMJYorston Ebay is awful for this too and Amazon. Before sales or vouchers the prices seem to be lower than baseline however once sale or a voucher offer kicks in prices rocket above baseline and vouchers bring it back down to base price or where it was before sales period. Egrigious!

  📊 DAILY MARKET RECAP — AUGUST 10, 2026 ━━━━━━━━━━ Nothing happened, and that's the story. $SPX -0.06% to 7,753.15, $DJI -0.11% to 53,975.98, $IXIC -0.32% to 26,605.36. Tight ranges, no conviction either way. The tape is parked until Wednesday's CPI. The eBay premium came out. $EBAY -3.8% to 107.71 on a report Cohen is weighing dropping the $56B bid for a partnership instead. $GME -1.9% to 18.79. Nobody really believed the financing — today just made it official. $INTC -4.1% to 97.52 after announcing a $15B common stock offering. Management framed it as funding AI-driven demand; the tape read dilution. Even after the hit, it's more than double where it traded in March. Crude pushed back up. Iran said an Oman deal alone won't reopen Hormuz without US concessions, then swapped in a hardline Revolutionary Guards figure to run the file. Last week's 8% oil slide is being given back — the peace trade just got harder. $RUT -0.56% to 3,017.40, worst of the majors again. Yields stayed elevated heading into a heavy Treasury auction week. Small caps have led on the way down three sessions running. Tomorrow's watch: light macro Tuesday, then July CPI Wednesday 8:30a ET — the test of whether Friday's dovish repricing survives contact with an oil-driven inflation print. $CSCO, $SMCI and $CRWV earnings land later in the week.

  $GME is weighing a retreat from its 56B eBay bid, per Bloomberg — a partnership across GameStop's roughly 1,600 stores and board representation instead of a takeout. GameStop still owns 9.75% of EBAY, its second-largest investor. Since the May offer GME is down 28% and EBAY is up 7.6%. The tape already priced which side needed the deal more.

  @MorgenHatton @ryancohen @eBay This will stop working once people stop using trailing stop losses. You have to get the stock to move up and then move back down and everyone that has a trailing stop loss gets pushed out and it starts a cascade effect. It’s clockwork and the short sellers bank on it.

  Last night I posted a thought I had for a upcoming card show. I want to sell my Ohtani rookie cards all at once. Why not do a razz. I put it on Reddit and got drug! One person said “I’ll give you $600 for them”. I couldn’t believe it. So I posted one of the cards on eBay at an inflated price, a heat check if you will. I posted this card at 599.99, and have had offers up to $450 and people are pissed when I decline. So if this card is in the lot of 29 and you can buy a spot for $200 and are guaranteed a card. It’s not a terrible deal. Reddit is for nerds and the Ohtani sub can all jump in a fire

  I purchased a computer on @eBay last week and the seller took the money and shut down his account. I've been trying to talk to someone at E-Bay about this but there seems to be no way to contact a human being at that company. Their automated system keeps telling me they have contacted the seller, which makes no sense because he no longer has an account. If E-Bay doesn't get this straightened out immediately I'm going to boost this post and make sure that at least 100,000 people see it.
