  Hit The Drop™ (@hit_the_drop) reported 2 minutes ago

  we made eBay UK sold listings a free command in the Discord. check comps without leaving the server, filtered to UK sales from the start. if you're still working from asking prices to decide what to list at, that's the first thing to fix.

  @foxenflask Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Forgive me as my M&A experience is about 15+ years old consulting as a jr. fin analyst on these kinds of projects. Things were very different back then. I’m going off of what we would be recommending to our clients, how I would have seen us likely advising Ryan/Gamestop at this point. To answer your question directly, I would say “yes”, I could see a constructive deck that would have more summarization of the current 425 materials to date, possibly explaining further thoughtful use-cases a merger would provide and its benefits to both eBay and Gamestop stakeholders alike. If there was an update in financing backing or structure (not exact merger math, but notable change due to say a SWF or PE partnership) that could help with overall reduction of risk, allowing for Gamestop rerate by the market ahead of any TO. In fact, if I was advising, this sort of comms would be unrelenting as when you have the truth on your side, you need to push it until everyone is tired of hearing it. I think there is still a long campaign ahead of Ryan to get GME price to rerate, and I would expect the campaign to push materials at least through 2nd quarter earnings to try and achieve that rerate. Overall campaign goal being to settle stakeholder concerns and reinforce the positives through continuous narrative in order to attain a rerate of GME price PRIOR to advancing with a restructured offer directly to eBay shareholders that is more viable with the given variables at time of offer. I just see any sort of TO at current structure with this price point as putting Gamestop in such an incredibly difficult hill to climb that would be more easily taken on if a rerate was first secured. The amount of combined debt, the actual accretion gained, etc. leave just an unnecessary and unwieldy road ahead if we take our shot now as things currently stand. I’m talking years of battle to get to numbers that could take substantially less time if a rerate happens first, which I think can be secured in just months. Just because you can execute doesn’t mean you should. The price is down because these fears are legitimately realistic in that there is ugly unnecessary risk here. I think the path forward looks so much cleaner and easy to manage when GME price is in the $40s, and don’t understand why they would offer until that is achieved. To note, I also believe Gamestop is currently severely under-valued and I don’t think a rerate into the mid-$30’s based on current metrics alone is unreasonable. Kind of why I think 2Q earnings would be a big milestone as it continues to show what Gamestop and Ryan are capable of and that this turnaround is real. I get your point that something may be brewing though, that could cause a rerate quickly! I don’t see anything as needing to be pressed in short order unless that is the case, and was trying to understand why you did. I do get that more time spent equals more time for defensive maneuvers by eBay board, to a degree, I think they are also somewhat stuck and limited. Appreciate all you do, brother. It’s been fun keeping pace with your thoughts as we roll along here! I hope you don’t mind the questions I pose, they are only intended to understand what your tracking to in your head.

  everyone thinks 3d printers make toys. nobody's running the margins. my oven handle broke last month. not the oven. the handle. a piece of plastic smaller than my thumb. hardware store wanted $38 plus shipping. three to five days for that. so i downloaded a free file instead. hit print. walked away. two hours later it was sitting on my desk. cost me $0.30. fine, that's a nice trick. saves you a few bucks on appliance parts. cute. but that's not why i'm writing this. i kept digging and found something that changed how i see the whole machine. somewhere online, someone is selling a single plastic gear for $18. not a toy. not a novelty print. a replacement gear for an $800 espresso machine that cracked after four years. the manufacturer discontinued that model in 2023. no parts on ebay. the repair shop just says buy a new one. so the owner finds this listing instead. pays $18 without blinking. cost to print that gear: $0.11. think about that for a second. the buyer isn't comparing $18 to a slab of plastic. they're comparing $18 to an $800 machine heading to the trash. that's not a purchase. that's a reflex. now multiply that gear by every discontinued fridge clip, every broken vacuum latch, every washing machine **** nobody makes anymore. one file. sold hundreds of times. zero inventory. zero factory. one person doing this at a comfortable pace pulls 8 to 12 orders a day. about $5,460 a month. roughly $4,800 of that stays as profit. right to repair laws already passed across the eu and a dozen us states. search volume for "[appliance] replacement part" is up 340% since 2022. people are done throwing out machines over a $0.11 piece of plastic. they just can't find who's selling it. i already know who's not going to be the one selling it. you spent this whole post deciding whether to keep scrolling.

  @TiffanyFong GameStop is buying eBay which no one expected. GameStop could probably make better movies too… Going down to Blockbuster, perusing the shelves, picking a movie, renting it, and buying snacks was still quicker than finding a film on Netflix. Does anyone else miss those days?

  @sudoingX I think it's more helpful to buy, gut out what you don't want, and continue building it. Before the whole AI hardware drama; around 2021, I bought a Supermicro 4U server from surplus on eBay. I got 128 GB DD4 that way for about 1000 USD, but it also included a Dual Xeon board, nice redundant PSUs, and a useful RAID card. Not a perfect machine for AI, but the sum of the parts ended up being a smart purchase.

  .@markpinc on Unlocking New Markets: “Games were not working on the Facebook ecosystem. I did it because I saw this ocean. I saw two oceans: social networking and video games. I was thinking, "If this works, it opens a little crack into mass-market casual gaming." One of the things I talk about in my book that I love — and I encourage people to consider — is: Find a mature market that's over. A market that's done. Dead. Played out. Online dating. eBay listings. Analog businesses that aren't attractive. Markets that VCs won't fund. They're red oceans. They're not growth markets. Find a market like that, but it has a lot of money in it and proven behavior. Video gaming was that. In 2007, video gaming was a $23 billion industry. It was barely growing. It wasn't even a top 10 behavior on the consumer web. It was stupid to go into. It was not fundable. Fast forward 19 years. It's a $283 billion industry. That was "not fundable." "Not growing." "Mature." Perfect. Because if you can find a new dimension that sparks people, you don't have to prove anyone wants it. You don't have to prove they'll spend money. The market already exists. You just have to unlock a new behavior. That was Google with search. And that was how I was thinking when I started Zynga. The year before, I was trying to buy CNET because I needed a gigantic captive consumer audience to test ideas like gaming. I needed to solve distribution. Consumer was not investable because of distribution. Today, consumer is not investable because of distribution. It's the perfect parallel. The new thing then was social networking. The new thing today is AI and agents. It's like a mirror in time. We are living in 2007. Consumer is not investable. Do consumer. The resume for me in consumer is traction. I cold mailed Shane on poltymarket when they broke through. So I would pay attention to anyone who’s getting a lot of heat in consumer because it’s so broken and rare.”

  Ever wonder how the card market shifts after a new set drops? Tuomas Holmberg breaks down the "FOMO effect" on early card grading vs. what happens when market efficiency actually takes over. ​"A brand new set comes out, people are very excited for the chase cards in the set. The first PSA 10 on eBay might sell for $4,000, you can go in and get an immediate grade with PSA by paying extra for it. You could go and pay 200, 300 bucks to get a card graded super fast." ​"Turn it around and then you could be the first one to sell it. And because somebody wants to say, 'Oh my god, I got the first one!', you have that FOMO effect, so you're able to sell these cards really fast." "But then, of course, you have market efficiency and everybody who submitted that card at a more value tier, slower tier, is gonna wait a few months to get it." "Often you see some of the top hits and top pulls, they start out at a ridiculous number and then they slowly go down over time." "And then, if you're a collector, that's where you start to buy it. You start to try to pick that bottom and then you'll see the price of the card go up over time."

  Right on cue, at 11:45 AM, the loud BEEP-BEEP-BEEP blared through the speakers. The Global VP stopped mid-sentence, annoyed. "What on earth is that? Is there an emergency?" Before anyone could stop me, I chuckled and called out from my cubicle, "Don't worry, sir! Just checking to see if anyone’s bidding on a vintage leather jacket. Greg's got us covered!" Zero laughs. The Global VP stared at me with pure, unadulterated icy anger. Chloe slowly lowered her head into her hands. It turns out, the Global VP was the one who had personally laid Greg off—and the ensuing "eBay alarm" saga had been a massive embarrassment that reached the board of directors. The VP had spent thousands on external consultants trying to fix it, and it was a massive sore spot. I didn't get fired, but now, every day at 11: 44 AM, Chloe silently slides a post-it note onto my desk that says: "Shh."

  Issue I have with what’s not sellers is when they have 500 people in the room and they are advertising a Leaf soccer card that you can get on eBay for $2 and going crazy and getting people to bid over a $100. And than banning you when you call them out on it. Horrible

  Caller: “ I’m 61 with no retirement savings and living in low income housing” Caller: I’m 61, recently divorced, living in subsidized housing, and I have no retirement savings. I’m working 25 hours a week as a cashier and I just don’t know how to get ahead. Dave: This is primarily an income problem. 25 hours a week as a cashier isn’t enough, you need more hours or a different income stream entirely. What’s holding you back? Caller: I have bad knees and a bad back, so anything physical like cleaning or caregiving is off the table. Dave: Then we shift to what you can do. Can you cook? Do you have items around the house you’re not using? Caller: I do have a lot of stuff, yes. Dave: Start selling it on Facebook Marketplace and eBay. I know someone who made $800,000 in a year just reselling items, it’s a real, scalable business if you work it seriously. Caller: I wouldn’t even know where to start. Dave: You start with what’s already in your home, learn the platforms, and build from there. Use your mind, not your back. It’s not too late, Jenny but fear cannot be the thing that stops you. Caller: I needed to hear that. Dave: I’m going to send you Ken Coleman’s book, The Proximity Principle, to help you think through your next career move. Read it and take action. Caller: Thank you, Dave.

  @giyu_eth_ @Courtyard_io Courtyard is probably one one of the worst pack rip sites out there (and that's saying something). Most packs give you around a 30% of just breaking even. Literally not even worth your money. That number goes down when you include the arbitrary "service fee" to buyback. The offering system is also predatory as **** - it makes it was to easy to fat finger lowball offers. Stopped using them after I ripped 20 packs and broke even on 2. Better off just buying the cards you like on eBay or through their marketplace.

  @bigblackjacobin It’s a matter of curation vs. raw accumulation. I can go out and buy lots with 15-20 books on ebay and accumulate 10,000 books, no problem. If I wish to get value out of my library, it is important to discriminate, prioritize,!and practice some curating philosophy.

  So, after removing the cpu and cleaning the base, I have installed the rt3612 we talked about. It took me 3 attempts to get it installed correctly, as it is a DFN package. QFN stands for Quad Flat No Leads it looks like the one attached in the image below. First time i SOLDERED, it did the exact same thing, shorted the 5v rail. But after removing and repasting and soldering again, it got fixed the 2nd time. Mostly, if extra solder blob gets stuck between middle square ground pad, and any pin, it's dead short to ground. We need to avoid that, and i prevented that on the third attempt by using lots of flux. Ok so that's done, moving on, we power up the board. And VOILA great news, the bucks are all working. Rt3612 jumps the cpu vcc to 1.2 and shuts down. 5v buck ramps voltage to around 4.8 and then shuts down. 3.3v also nearly does the same. they are doing this as per the decision from the rt3612. Basically, it is the wife of power section of laptop. It governs and controls the power flow. :P Above voltage confirms that, the PD power controller ic is working, it is negotiating the voltage and taking, the BQ charging controller is switching the main power rail between battery mode qnd charger mode, and the EC is talking with the battery to output voltage and all. Only thing remaining now is to get same CPU die from ebay, and solder it and test. If that works, then i swear I'll jump Also, coming back to the precautionary things: 1. Be very careful when messing with digital chipsets, sensitive ICs, multilayer motherboards. Basically never thermally stress the unwanted parts. 2. Use a kapton tape (orange transparent) which will shield the sensitive components from heat spread during a hot air desoldering session. Read the datasheet of the IC which you are messing with. They would mention soldering parameters. Never exceed the rated conditions by the manufacturer. AT ANY COST. try to minimise your heating session time. The more the heating, more the chances of damage.

  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 52 minutes ago

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including Walmart, Nike, and Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @BusyDadFantasy The card market has the same problem you do, it likes them too. Trevor Lawrence leads (1,668 eBay tracked sales in 90 days), then Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. are basically tied behind him, with BTJ holding the deeper high end (96 cards over $100). Parker Washington is the only one collectors haven't touched. That's your cheap dart if the targets show up.
