  @sharkies71 proxying is not new by any means, she just helps find and secure cards for as cheap as possible. i paid roughly 375php (like £4) with fees, which is so much cheaper than i’d be able to find myself given terrible international shipping rates on apps like ebay

  @YellowFlashGuy Just watched. Great video. II agree, despite this, it's such a non-issue for most gamers that they won't even care. The collector's edition disappeared within a day and is still going for 2X on eBay. They're still inching in things along the slippery slope.

  @LeeandLie I was looking forward to buying your figure off of eBay or some other bidding site since I missed the deadline of pre-ordering it. After hearing and reading everything, you're not to be blamed for this nor did you let your fans down. Hoping the best for you when things gets straightened.

  @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser I’m sure eBay would take the negative review down if you show them this.

  @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser All you have to do is tell eBay he’s threatening negative feedback in your messages. They’ll review it and get it removed easy. It’s my favorite when a problem buyer even remotely mentions a negative review

  Imagine looking back a year from now and watching other people make thousands of dollars every month from what today seems like “just another AI idea.” The worst part won’t be that they started. The worst part will be realizing you saw the opportunity first - and did nothing. Why spend hours on repetitive work when you can build an AI system that works faster than any human? Here’s the blueprint. Google Omni powered by the Gemini Live API instantly recognizes products through your smartphone camera. The eBay Browse API analyzes active listings, competitors, pricing, and demand. Claude Opus generates high-quality, SEO-optimized product descriptions while minimizing the risk of factual errors. The result? Simply point your camera at an item in a thrift store, garage sale, or discount outlet, and within seconds you’ll have a complete listing with a title, description, keywords, and an estimated market price. What used to take hours now happens almost instantly. The monetization opportunities are obvious. The first option is to launch a Discord bot for resellers and sell access through Whop for $50 per month. Just 150 subscribers would generate around $7,500 in monthly recurring revenue. The second option is to use the system for your own resale business. Find products with profit margins starting at $50 and scale the process to approximately $2,500 in monthly profit, depending on deal volume, inventory access, and operating costs. This isn’t just automation anymore. It’s an AI agent that helps you discover opportunities, analyze the market, and reduce the time between finding a product and publishing a listing to just seconds. While most people are still reading about AI, others are already building businesses with it. The only question is: which group do you want to be part of

  I just got scammed please help. I bought an item and canceled a min later when I saw bad reviews. He claimed it was shipped. And refunded me 1 cent. Said ebay was down and couldn't print a shipping label. Or process a refund over 1 cent. Please help. @eBay

  @resellerrowe @DestinLabs The reason I ask is this guy gets literally a dozen of these sent to him as scrap a day and I feel like there’s gotta be parts we can strip and slap on eBay, but he doesn’t know anything about e-commerce and tech. He’s a simple fix it and scrap it guy and he’s amazing at it.

  @ManFirestorm I did similar a few years ago. I went from 15 long boxes down to about 4. Sold to my LCS at, I’m sure, a significant financial loss to me, if I had the time and energy to properly sell all those books (eBay, whatever). Figured my downsizing would help out their business.

  Looking into the “Ghosting error” of Vending Series iii Mewtwo, where there’s a tattoo-like print error on Mewtwo’s leg. This was an earlier print error and was later fixed. The error was so obvious that it created a separate line of sale on Snkr. PSA10 generally sells for more for the error version, except that PSA doesn’t acknowledge the error on the label. Currently lowest listed price of the error version of PSA10 is $4750 on Ebay, and the corrected version is $3,330 on Snkrdunk.

  I will clarify that apparently normal math says radiation can't cause this melting, and as said I do not have the case or front/clock back anymore, I do have the electronics and motor but I keep checking, there's no beta/gamma, so again unless it was alpha, but first picture is of it, second is of the one off of eBay, third is how I had them initially in my garage and is the best side by side with the clock that has radium but can I ask if there is a possibility I have deliberately not been given information?, there is more I can say on this but, my guess is that it almost looks like the one that did it may have sat on top of the one with radium? Also I don't know if they were plugged in at all or how long, which I think might make it worse but does it almost look like the radiation was attracted to the clock? If it was on top of should mean a reduced chance of radon(there is a thought on that as well(not blank)) and I don't know ventilation but also then alpha should have issues making to through the plastic?(Correct?), which points to beta gamma again. There's the option of just indirect heat to melt it but it still looks weird, also again nothing visible on the electronics of heat and nothing there but the clock. I have thought of things from the factory? Or what the exact "lighted dial" means, there was a clear?, portion I would have thought was LED but could it have been more?(There's no way there's tritium right? I didn't turn it on, and also wouldn't explain the melting?). I have also thought of cigarette residue, but I feel it still wouldn't explain I'm assuming a dose of anything from 0.25-0.5Sv, if it has to be done at one time and for there to be a timeline. I also have other thoughts of "how military connected" or otherwise this is because can you spot at least one more interesting connection?

  Elon Musk had already made $200 million and was burning through it to keep three companies alive. He explained exactly how in a 45-minute closed-door talk at Stanford in 2003. The recording is on YouTube. Almost no founder has watched it in a decade. Today Musk is worth roughly $400 billion. That is a 2,000x personal net worth increase in twenty-two years. The talk in this video is Musk explaining, from age 32, exactly how he intended to survive the next few years long enough to make it happen. At the time he had three companies. Zip2 had already been sold to Compaq for $307 million. PayPal had just been sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. SpaceX was one year old and burning cash. He was worth roughly $200 million and had just committed the majority of it to keeping SpaceX alive. The 2003 Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner recording is 45 minutes. Musk covers his framework in four parts. Find direction. Do not build what you think other people want. Build what you would use yourself. Everything else is a market research problem, and market research is almost never how new markets are found. Control costs. Do the physics. Every SpaceX component was priced against the raw material cost of its inputs. If the ratio was more than three, he built it in-house instead of buying it. Stay alive. In a war of attrition the last money left in the account wins. When PayPal was near zero he stopped taking a salary, refused strategic investors who wanted control, and cut every discretionary line item to zero. Break down problems with first principles. Do not reason by analogy. Do not defer to what an industry currently believes. Rebuild the problem from the physical constraints and see what falls out. "When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." That is Musk in a 2013 interview repeating a line he first used in the Stanford talk ten years earlier. It has been quoted in almost every founder biography since. Every top-selling startup book of the last two decades borrows from this framework. The recording is free. The books are not. Almost every founder on X quotes Musk while running their company on the opposite of what he taught in this room. The talk is free. The four rules fit on a napkin. The willingness to actually do the physics on a business you are running instead of another pitch deck is a much rarer commodity than the framework itself.

  A buyer walks in and you sell 30% under market — because the sticker is from last quarter. Built Pricepherd to fix it. It scans sold comps on eBay, Depop, Poshmark, Mercari 24/7 and auto-reprices inventory to live demand. Weekly margin reports. Category-shift alerts.

  @askebay I have an item (sports card) that went through ebay authentication and now the buyer is try to return it as not as described. I thought the ebay authentication existed precisely to stop these types of returns. Is there someone I can speak to about this issue?

  @Palifyapp I've never seen the PSA checkbox but it was tempting for sure. But i definitely see quality control issues that make the current leading brands look weak. Resubmissions getting different scores should only happen if your metrics & tech changed or the card did. @eBay @GoldinCo

  @ObeanzCards @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser eBay support is worthless. I’ve had ample evidence that a customer purchased a car part from me and returned a completely different part that was broken, and they sided with the buyer. This happened literally 2 or 3 times so I just quit.

  @colinvmcguire Buy it from a reputable seller or A. There’s a good chance you are buying someone else’s problem or a Frankenwatch. B. Don’t buy from an International seller. You’ll have a problem if you have to ship it back. C. There’s a lot of crooks on eBay. C. Make sure they accept returns.

  He's 24. He built the LiDAR replacement Tesla just paid $3.8 million for on six broken iPhones he pulled off eBay for $40 apiece and a Raspberry Pi 5 he wired together in a Boulder apartment Each of the six iPhone X TrueDepth sensor modules is the same infrared dot projector Apple ships in every FaceID iPhone - the exact same hardware that maps a human face at 30 frames per second in complete darkness. He mounted them in a hexagonal array on a $8 3D-printed bracket he printed at a Boulder makerspace, wired them to the Pi through custom USB adapters he soldered himself, and wrote a Python driver that stitches all six depth streams into a single point cloud at 34 frames per second. Effective range: 40 meters. Total hardware cost: $240. A single Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR unit that Tesla previously benchmarked against costs $75,000 He posted a demo video to GitHub in October showing his rig tracking pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles across a Boulder intersection with 94% accuracy against Velodyne ground-truth data. A Tesla Autopilot engineer found it through a Hacker News thread three days later. Elon Musk quote-tweeted the demo the following Saturday - called it "the sensor architecture we should have shipped in Hardware 4 instead of paying Mobileye a decade of licensing fees." By December Tesla had wired $3.8 million into his account for the sensor fusion algorithm and a three-year consulting contract to integrate the TrueDepth array pattern into Autopilot Hardware 5 rolling out to every new Model Y this quarter Tesla runs at a $900 billion market cap running Autopilot on the premise that autonomous vehicle perception requires their proprietary silicon and their multi-billion-dollar sensor supply chain. Mobileye sits at $15 billion in market cap selling ADAS chips on the same premise. Elon Musk just paid a 24-year-old in a Boulder apartment more for a Python driver and six broken iPhones than most Tesla Autopilot engineers earn in a decade
