  Why is the Camera in EastEnders wobbling up and down? Do they know you can buy a tripod from eBay. How much did that multimillion pound set refurbishment cost?

  Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Bgillz7 Spoiler alert… they have lost money now. They used it to buy BTC, eBay, and treasury notes. Down $100m on BTC. Even on eBay. Up maybe $100m or so on T notes. $350m in cash out the door and an extra 7m shares. $400 in value lost on $1.4b in notes that were 0% interest.

  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.

  $GME popping on prelims. Sales down vs last year, profit up on the eBay mark, and they used cash to cap dilution. That's the meme print.

  @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.

  @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.

  @packaddictsnw Yeah eBay needs to do something with the tracking on these. I’ve gotten way more “buyer didn’t receive item” and have to issue a refund.

  @Pacho9_3 It looks like eBay just took down another seller of the 30th pre orders. Seems only seasoned sellers like footballpete and a few others are actually safe. I think I’ll avoid posting 30th eBay links regardless moving forward until September 16th

No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

  Not sure who needs to hear this but you can spend $100,000+ a month just using Amazon as your source of inventory. You can do this at 40%+ ROI. You can beat section 3s and account health problems. You can sell your inventory on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Whatnot, TikTok, or locally. If you’re an Amazon seller you can also get a complete P&L, cash flow analytics, ungating support, reimbursements, product monitoring, replen dashboards, FBM tracking, order tracking, and more. For free, then $3 a day. You can be as weird as me and do it all from your phone if you’d like. We are building the most complete software package publicly available. Taking no profits out. Doubling down on team and partnerships.

  My librarian Janet was running a book laundering scheme where she checked out books under dead people's names, reported them lost, pocketed the replacement fees, then resold the "lost" books online. Discovered this when my dead grandmother's library card got a overdue notice. "Grandma's been dead for three years." "Oh no, our system must have glitched," Janet said. But the book was real. Someone checked out "The Goldfinch" under her name last week. I checked records. Grandma's card had been active for three years. 47 books checked out. All "lost." All replacement fees paid from a account I'd never seen. Confronted Janet. "You're running a fraud scheme with dead people's library cards." "I'm maintaining circulation metrics for funding purposes." "You're stealing." She showed me the books budget. Cut by 40% over three years. "I'm keeping this library alive. The replacement fees fund new books. The 'lost' books get resold. Money goes back into the system." "Through your pocket." "Some administrative costs are involved, yes." She'd been doing it for five years. 200 dead people's cards. $180,000 in replacement fees. Books resold on eBay for another $90,000. All money went back into library programs. Story time. Teen literacy. Computer access. "You're Robin Hood but make it books?" "I prefer Marian the Librarian but yes." I should've reported it. But the library was thriving. Programs everywhere. New books weekly. Then an auditor noticed the pattern. Investigated. Found everything. Janet was fired. Police got involved. Community rallied. "Janet saved this library." Petition to drop charges: 4,000 signatures. Charges dropped. Janet was rehired with "enhanced oversight." She's not allowed to handle money anymore. But circulation is down 30%. Programs are being cut. Janet started a nonprofit. "Friends of the Library Foundation." Runs fundraisers. All legal now. Raised $200,000 last year. Library is thriving again. I asked if she missed the scheme. "Every day. It was elegant. But this is better. Harder, but better." My grandmother's library card finally got deactivated. Last book checked out under her name: "How to Get Away With Murder." Janet swears it wasn't her. I believe her but I also don't.

  Following the clear confusion between labeling a jersey with a MEARS letter game used, I am hearing @eBay and @GoldinCo have finally decided to change their policies. No word on exactly what the shift is, but it is clear @eBay has recognized the liability created by selling objects as game used that their own internal team would clearly have reason to believe are not. Times have changed and credit to eBay for responding to it. Probably saved themselves from big issues down the road.

  @cmpayneful @GameStopOnChain Consider this a rabbit hole, but if you choose to go down, will lead to more… like XRP. Surprisingly this stuff connected to Epstein, which is why the DOJ is gonna be important. If I were to guess I think eBay was permitting trafficking kids likewise to JP Morgan
