  @SonicBlueRanger The prices for them on eBay aren’t terrible in all fairness, given that not all that many copies were published. It just depends if you’re willing to spend anywhere from £30 to nearly £50 a piece for them.

  @JDAlexOfficial @eBay They are bloated and it’s why many individuals online rally against using eBay, Walmart, Amazon, and big corporations that have pulled the wool over our eyes and kind of forced lots of local businesses to shut down

  @robert_m45 @Pirat_Nation then when your discs that you cant use become so rare you can charge 3 times the amount you paid for it on ebay blaming disc drives not working is lame when a game licence runs out that gets taken from you for good and you signed up for it...we all did with any digital game.

  @GoatBeardzDD @MaiDuat31103 When company A acquires company B, doesn’t the stock price of A typically go down while B goes up? So in this case shouldn’t we expect GME to dip if they are successful at acquiring eBay?

  LONG READ: Off-brand post, but as a longtime @Nike shareholder, this needs to be said. Nike used to be a company you could invest in and trust to run itself. Now the stock is trading in the high $30’s, a fresh 12-year low, down roughly 76% from its all-time high of $163.63 in November 2021. This didn’t happen overnight. It’s been a slow burn downhill. In 2020, Nike handed the company to John Donahoe, a former eBay and ServiceNow executive with a consulting background and no real history in sneakers or sport. The stock hit its all-time high under him in November 2021, but that wasn’t a product win, it was pandemic tailwinds. Lockdown spending and a digital sales boom carried the whole brand. Donahoe leaned into it, pulling back from wholesale partners like Foot Locker and Amazon to chase direct-to-consumer sales. It worked while the boom lasted. The second it ended, that same move handed Hoka, On, and New Balance the shelf space to take over. He spent the rest of his tenure cutting costs and squeezing profit out of old product instead of investing in anything new. On June 28, 2024, Nike’s stock fell 20% in a single day after weak earnings and guidance for a 10% revenue decline, its worst trading day in 44 years as a public company. It never really recovered. Nike has now erased roughly $200 billion in market value since its 2021 peak, the largest drawdown in the company’s history. Even Jordan Brand, the crown jewel, isn’t safe. Revenue fell from $8.7 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026, two straight years of decline. Hoka went from $153 million to $2.6 billion in sales in eight years. On grew 285% in three years. Nike handed them the shelf space and gave people no reason to buy new. Stop putting bean counters and consultants in charge of a brand people love. Put product people back in charge. Open the SNKRS app right now. The Jordan 4 “Rare Air” Tour Yellow drops September 5th, a 20-year-old colorway from 2006, priced at $220. A shoe that’s already been made once, repackaged, made cheaper than its original release and marked up. Stop chasing what flippers on StockX think a re-release is worth. Price product for the people who actually want to wear it. Every dollar Nike hands to resale culture is a dollar it’s not making itself, and a customer it’s not building loyalty with. Nike has an entire team of engineers dedicated to fighting bots on SNKRS, blocking billions of fake entries every month just to protect launches like this. You wouldn’t need bot protection if you weren’t manufacturing the scarcity yourself, especially when a good chunk of these same releases end up marked down in outlets and clearance stores months later anyway. So what was the artificial scarcity even for? Elliott Hill spent 32 years at Nike, most of it running product, commerce, and marketing, before retiring in 2020. Now he’s back, cleaning up a mess a consultant-era CEO left behind. Even so, JPMorgan just downgraded the stock again this month, warning the pain from the turnaround won’t stabilize until fiscal 2028. Bringing back someone who actually gets the brand is the right move. But, it shouldn’t have taken a 76% collapse to get there.

  Sagzee (@IAmSagzee) reported 32 minutes ago

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  @eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

  Elementa Graphics (@elementaGFX) reported 41 minutes ago

  I’ve started a daily series on projects that already have something real but the presentation still hasn’t caught up to its potential. Project Breakdown #72 — @ChaseCardApp ChaseCard is a live aggregator. You name the card. Set, language, condition, budget. They watch every marketplace. Beta is open. Alerts are already going out. Umbreon 38% under. Gengar 45% under. That is a real loop. The page does not show the loop. It shows a still of a deal and a link to apply. A collector already hunting grails will get it. A stranger sees another TCG promo card. Two problems. The watch is invisible. The product is not “Umbreon is cheap.” The product is ChaseCard catching it across shops while you sleep. That is motion. A price still is what eBay already posts. Motion is the alert hitting, the listing opening, the card matching the chase. The feed is one template. Photo. Percent. Link. Fine for proof. Weak as a brand. A ChaseCard frame should be the chase itself. Card. Target price. Hit. Same rails every alert. Then the beta link has a face. They already have the deals. The page should look like the watcher, not like the listing. See you on the next one.

  Card Throne (@cardthrone) reported 49 minutes ago

  I run Card Throne with a handful of Grok Bots. Each one owns a job. They don't all sit in one chat answering random questions. Scout does sourcing. Japanese inventory, carts, what to buy next. Grading plays and margins off my actual fees and costs. It never checks out. I still have to say purchase. Build is engineering. It only works on Card Throne Room, our seller tool. Scan a stack of cards, list to eBay, inventory management. When it's real code, it summons a cloud agent with pstack /poteto-mode. Throne runs the storefronts. Brings me the issues that actually have to move that day. Ledger does the books. Payouts, fees, receipts, the monthly P&L. Sentry monitors for any Card Throne Room bugs and pings Build if something needs fixed. Chief sits on top so I'm not pinging six bots to find out whose job a thing is. I still make the final calls.

  @Oscvr9_ Hello! Best way to price sealed is to refer to eBay last solds for sealed - do not count any unsealed. Often I find issue with sold items under “best offer” and the listed price being the sold price. For this reason I always use 130point to get most accurate prices w/ offers.

  Me at 20: - £50K/year at Jaguar Land Rover - Acting team leader, dream job by every measure - Watching agency videos in the car park on my lunch break Me at 24: - $100M+ generated on Meta - Scaled a brand in LA from $90K to $2.1M/mo in 7 months - 40+ team members, run from Dubai My first money online was flipping scooter parts on eBay at 13. I opened my own bank account for it. Nobody told me to. I just wanted a bike and needed to make £200 to afford it. Fast forward. Late 2022 I bought an Iman Gadzhi agency course and landed a client in 2 months. They paid £900/month. I was going to say £1,000 and bottled it at the last second. Then 7 months passed and I made £80. In total. I didn't tell my friends what I was doing. I barely even told my family. There was nothing to show anyone, so I just went quiet and kept going. I handed in my notice at JLR in July 2024. Everyone at the factory thought I'd lost it – to them I was walking out of a job people wait 20 years for. So I flew to Bali alone in early 2025. I knew nobody there. I wasn't a huge fan of Bali. Then I moved to Thailand 30 days later. Hit $50K/mo whilst there. Then $100K. Now I'm living in Dubai and the business does more in a month than JLR paid me in four years. The crazy part is I wasn't good at this. I was terrible for a long time. I just kept putting in long hours and watching what happened until some of it started working. And I'm still doing that. The same method, just with bigger numbers. If a 13-year-old selling scooter parts to fund a bike can turn it into this, you're fine. Win each day. That's the whole thing.
