  @KillerQueenVI_ Yeah like surely we just can’t play this game I do think they will change it there’s to much money to be made. And my pre ordered is still counting down and if I do get refunded I’ll just buy of eBay or change my region nothing will stop me from playing Halloween.

  His accountant found $3,156 in AI subscriptions on last year’s taxes. «What did that buy you?» He looked at the spreadsheet. Claude. ChatGPT. Perplexity. Obsidian Sync. $263 a month. Every month. Forever. Saturday he spent $1,200 on used parts. One RTX 3090 off eBay. A $60 motherboard. Ubuntu, Ollama, one command. Changed one line of code. Base URL pointing home instead of a server in Virginia. Everything worked identically. Nothing left the machine. Nothing billed per token. He kept one cloud subscription for the hard 20%. Frontier reasoning, client-facing work, edge cases. The box handles the other 80%. Drafts, classification, note QA, routine coding help. Electricity: $14 a month. Breakeven: 7 months. 3-year net: $2,400 ahead. His accountant will ask different questions next April. The subscriptions come back every month. The box just sits there working.

  @NotFarLeftAtAll Another Wasted exercise. I've tried to shop local, (non food products), but it's too expensive. Can get what I need for a fraction of the cost on Amazon/Ebay. Shop Rents & Business rates have to go down to compete. But councils need money.. ultimately for benefits & boat people.

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every online ad exchange on earth extracts over $500 billion a year from advertisers. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to Yale Open Courses in 2008 for nothing. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has used the framework. His name is Ben Polak. He is a Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most watched university lecturers in the history of the internet. The 62-minute clip in this video is one lecture from his course ECON 159: Game Theory, taught in the fall of 2007 to a packed auditorium of Yale undergraduates. Polak covers the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making in 24 lectures. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option regardless of what your opponent does, pick it. Everything else in game theory is a workaround for the fact that dominant strategies almost never exist in real games. Nash equilibria. The point where no player can improve by unilaterally changing strategy. Almost every price on earth is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants converges to one. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to the entity running them. Google Ads is a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with a proxy bid. Treasury bill sales are Dutch descending. Each format extracts different value from bidders. Almost no bidder knows which format they are in. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes wins over defection in repeated games. Why the tit-for-tat rule outperformed every complex algorithm in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why almost every stable business relationship on earth is a tit-for-tat game. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants to know this material. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists to design its pricing pages. Every corporate M&A negotiation is priced by consultants who charge $2 million a deal to apply the same equations. "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." That is the first rule Polak teaches every semester. He calls it the only rule game theory is entirely certain about. Retail traders violate it every time they add to a losing position because taking the loss feels worse than doubling down. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The problem sets and exams from 2007 are still online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math is free. The willingness to sit through 24 hours of game theory before opening a bid box, a trading terminal, or a negotiation is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to walk in without it.

  @dioscuri The only bad thing about eBay is the sellers (and the terrible app). Communication about a listing is brutal for those reasons.

  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.

  I finally broke down & bought ANOTHER ordinary usage sewing machine. My first ever simple Singer. In H.S., Mama had left me her "Free-Westinghouse" machine with its many attachments for ruffling, ruching etc, but no backstitch. Years later, I got myself a SoFro by House of Fabrics for my Soc B. A. graduation. For the MSW, with delusions of wonder, I got a Serger but never used it. The old SoFro is fine, but needs its stitch length fixed. Pico's Repairs last time failed to repair it & he's moved or retired... I have a ton of fabric, am selling some, but cut out reversible drawstring with pockets etc. Halloween candy bags for the 5 youngest grandkids & 2 of their young cousins. (I did big denim duffel bags for my 2 boys.) The reverse sides will be dog motifs or something girlie. After they're done, I'll post pix. Maybe I'll be "the Mimi who sews," like that gal on EBay who sews & sells fabulous tiny Barbie hose & belts etc. She's called "The Sister Who Sews." Ha!

  GameStop ($GME) considers withdrawing its $56 billion bid for eBay GameStop could abandon its $56 billion takeover attempt for eBay, according to Bloomberg News. CEO Ryan Cohen is reportedly reviewing the offer, although no final decision has yet been made. GameStop has not commented publicly on the report. GameStop launched its unsolicited proposal in May, offering $125 per eBay share, with the consideration split between cash and GameStop shares. The company initially held a 5% economic stake in eBay, but subsequently increased its position to nearly 10% of the company, becoming one of eBay's largest shareholders. eBay previously rejected the takeover proposal. Rather than pursuing a full acquisition, Ryan Cohen is reportedly considering a partnership or joint venture. Such an arrangement could allow eBay to use GameStop's roughly 1,600 US stores, particularly for businesses such as trading cards and collectibles. GameStop could also seek representation on eBay's board. The possible change in strategy comes after several months of pressure surrounding the proposed transaction and questions over its financing. In pre-market trading on Monday, GameStop shares were up around 1.4%, while eBay shares were down approximately 0.6%.

  @MarkDJacks1 I do my big shop online with Sainsbury's and get household items of Amazon/Ebay but pop down to my hyper local shops for top-ups of milk, visit the bakery and the greengrocers and get a prescription etc. I would not dream of getting the bus to town for any of that.

  @Alarikun @teakwooder @rivalclay Dude, the mod itself is free and you can't even legally buy Red/Blue/Yellow anymore outside of some inflated price on eBay, even the virtual console versions on the 3DS have been shut down. You're being viciously dishonest just to trash on a free mod maker.

  @eBay if you ever bring in the extended bidding process to the US Ebay, you'll likely lose millions of bidders and revenue. Horrible pathway to go down and I would not recommend it infiltrate your platform @eBayAU
