  @brian_2o3 @gamestop I think it’s the other way around. I think he bought cheap broken consoles on eBay and got a higher value through GameStop credit

  Just watched Whatever It Takes: Inside the eBay Scandal. It’s crazy. And it’s not. Most people outside of enterprises assume people inside enterprises operate with their values. The truth is that many leaders values are simply to “advance by any means necessary”. The part that did surprise me was how this Director was able to fire everyone and replace all empty chairs with an army of Fembots without legal or any executive raising an issue. @ValueAddedRS

  BEFORE THE POP (@beforethepop) reported 9 minutes ago

  Alpha: Buy We spent hours pulling apart the 1999 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Carddass set. It passes nearly every test I have. It’s old. It’s Japanese. Zelda was a monster IP then and it still is now. Link is one of the defining characters in gaming. There’s a real chase: 42 cards, but only six holographic prisms. And almost nobody seems to care about them. That’s the bit I’m interested in. Because when we started checking the PSA populations, things got stupid. The high-grade pops are tiny. Some of the prism chases have no PSA 10 at all. Link #5 and Ganondorf currently have zero. Then we went looking for the supply that could prove the pops meaningless. Clean raw prisms? Barely anything. Old sealed product? Even stranger. These were sold through Carddass vending machines in Japan. Four cards together, held by basically a strip of paper. No modern foil pack. No tamper-proof seal. You can inspect the cards. So I’m not looking at 27-year-old banded stacks and assuming there’s a giant untouched supply of mint prisms hiding in them. Then there’s the one obvious fail. These are not Link rookie cards. Link had already been around for more than a decade. But they are first-era Ocarina of Time cards, released in 1999 immediately after the 1998 game. And if you’re going to fail the rookie test, being tied to Ocarina of Time is a decent consolation prize. It still sits at the very top of the all-time review tables, and Nintendo is bringing it back again in 2026. So we started trying to buy the chase. This is where the whole thing became comedy. One of the only Link #5 PSA 9s was sitting at US$880. We negotiated. Seller eventually decided he wasn’t selling. His message: “I’m actually going to take the card down, and wait till after the remake releases.” Listing gone. Great. Then almost immediately my phone goes off. eBay alert. Jump Attack PSA 9. The other card we’d been stalking had just dropped from £475.79 to £258.92. 45.6% off. About US$350. After spending hours watching a market with basically no supply refuse to give us anything, one of the cards we wanted had just been cut almost in half. We bought it. Then kept going. Heritage bids rejected. Offers flying around. PSA populations open in one tab. Japanese raw cards in another. Eventually we also picked up Ganondorf in PSA 8, because there isn’t even a PSA 10 to wait for. That’s the bet. Not “Zelda is popular.” First Ocarina of Time era. Six-card prism chase. Japanese vending distribution. Almost no mint raw supply we could find. Brutally low high-grade populations. Parts of the chase with zero PSA 10s. One of the biggest gaming IPs on earth, then and now. And a market that still feels half asleep. It fails the Link rookie test. Everything else got very hard to ignore. Alpha: Buy.

  I would love to hear any coherent explanation of what tf @ryancohen is doing. I am literally down to two explanations. He’s either a hedgie. Or he’s setting up for MOASS. Nothing else makes sense. Let’s raise convertible notes to buy a bunch of $BTC! Just kidding let’s wait as long as possible and then only buy a tiny bit at all time highs. Okay well, then let’s use it to buy a company 84 times the size of ours, that’s also at all time highs! We can exchange our convertible notes now to clean up the balance sheet so we can buy $EBAY! Well let’s not really buy @eBay, but for sure let’s dilute our company to the maximum for seemingly no reason at all. Every one of these things brings extensive short pressure to our beloved stock. You would have to be so beyond regarded to not know that’s what was going to happen. Yet he still for some reason created dividend warrants, which also bring on their own arbitrage pressure. You see the problem? Why would someone who wanted to reward shareholders do all these things that clearly prevented that. He’s surely knew every single thing he was going to do this past year and if you don’t think that, you should stop eating crayons. He’s a hedgie. Or MOASS is coming. I do not see an alternative explanation. Because if it’s not MOASS, then he is full regard, or worse, and someone should take the controller out of his hands.

  We built internal listing software that took us from 200 unique products per week to 1000 products uploaded per week. I'm thinking about licensing two versions of it, Shopify full service brand building and a very slimmed down Ebay bulk loader.

  The eBay seller stack is broken. Analytics in one tab, listings in another, repricing in a third — none of them talk to each other. Bayquill fixes that. One AI SaaS for SKUs, listings, and Buy Box. Pre-2026. Coming soon.

  How the Truth gets manufactured: It’s crazy how easy it is to fake value out of thin air. Imagine I paint some random watercolor and stick it up on eBay for $5,000. Then I text a buddy in another state and tell him to "buy it now." He hits "paid", I mark it "shipped", and as far as the internet is concerned the sale happened - even though I never sent the painting, and he never sent the money. Do that three or four more times with different friends and suddenly I’ve got a public track record of selling my art for $5,000 a pop. Now, I can walk into an art gallery and point at those sales as proof that my work is worth that much. The numbers are real online. The actual exchange never happened. The exact same trick works with information. A couple of well-placed posts, a convenient statement from an official account, maybe a couple of friendly sources repeating the same claim, and BAM! - you’ve got a paper trail. Once that trail exists, systems that look at primary sources or recent statements (like AI) start treating it as established fact. What started as a manufactured claim turns into the version of the story that gets repeated. That’s the real problem. People who understand how these systems work can game them pretty easily. A few coordinated data points and suddenly the "record" says whatever they want it to say. The only real defense? - Refusing to let the latest statement erase everything that came before it. Keep the whole messy trail visible: new claims, old reports, patterns of behavior, who’s saying it and why. You have to look at all of it to find the truth. Most people (and most AI systems) just look at the clean surface and move on. That’s exactly why this kind of manipulation works.

  @craig_vent94132 @Pittsburgh1Pete That is usually where it shows up first. Card money is the most discretionary money there is, so the hobby feels a squeeze months before anyone writes an article about it. Slow eBay is a leading indicator, not a Pokemon problem.

  @ChrisPirillo The problem with support these days could be down to them wanting to avoid the craziness. Think about it, half the folks wanting to chat with support are probably pissed off. The other day I saw someone say ebay has no support, I know they do. You just gotta get through the bot.

  @aphysicist The bigger issue is banks and governments buying their IT spares secondhand on eBay. Once that stock is gone there will be severe implications for billions of people. I've got a list of about 6 banks no one should go near. They're a serial cable away from catastrophe.

  Some of the big updates that have happened so far. - Browser extension where you can see your bid pop up window for streamers that use Pumpfun to go live - Adding a Ebay like marketplace for people to sell their items freely without having to go live - Ebay takes 15 - 18 percent of your sales while Bidit only takes 4 percent that goes back into the coin - Points you can earn by just using the site to get an airdrop at the end of the month - Escrow safety net after a sale so you don't get scammed you need to verify your item got to you before a seller gets your money - New emotes added to chats - Now able to stream not just on Pumpfun but on Bidit itself - And now able to auction up NFTs on the marketplace. This is a slow cook in my opinion and can become someting massive in the crypto space not gonna lie. So many normies are in to TCG streams as seen on Whatnot and many people use Ebay every day to sell their items. Why not use a platform like this where sellers gain more money after selling while also being the flywheel for the community coin created. Dev is constantly shipping and I hope to see many people realize the potential this coin has ngl.

  You’re definitely going to see these on EBay soon, which absolutely blows. This way of buying tickets may get shut down sooner rather then later

  Instead of thinking: "Who would buy a broken laser pointer?" Omidyar realised: "Wait. The Internet can connect a person who has something with another person somewhere else who wants exactly that thing." That became eBay. Internet = marketplace connecting strangers.

  Cash Flow Files (@CashFlowFiles) reported 48 minutes ago

  A 21-year-old student needed money for college. So he created one of the dumbest-sounding businesses imaginable: He sold pixels on a website for $1 each. 5 months later, he had made $1,037,100. Here’s how: In 2005, Alex Tew was worried about taking on student debt. He had no big audience. No investors. No revolutionary technology. He just had an idea: Create a webpage with 1,000,000 pixels. Sell every pixel for $1. Businesses could buy blocks of pixels, put their logo on them, and link back to their website. Simple math: 1,000,000 pixels × $1 = $1,000,000 The problem? Nobody knew the site existed. So Alex convinced friends and family to buy the first few blocks. After the site made its first $1,000, he pushed the story to the press. That changed everything. The weirdness of the idea became the marketing. People weren’t just buying ad space anymore. They were buying a piece of an internet experiment everyone was talking about. More press created more traffic. More traffic made the ad space more valuable. More advertisers created an even crazier-looking homepage. Which created even more press. It became a loop. By the end, 999,000 pixels were sold. Instead of selling the final 1,000 for $1 each, Alex auctioned them on eBay. Winning bid: $38,100. Total gross revenue: $1,037,100. (Wikipedia) The lesson isn’t “go sell pixels.” That opportunity worked because it was novel. The lesson is better: Sometimes the product isn’t what makes the money. The story around the product creates the distribution. And distribution can turn something almost worthless… into something people fight to buy.

  @CardPurchaser I don’t know about selling more, but I do know what’s stopping me from sourcing more on eBay — the new soft bids they implemented. My buying is down over 30% since they rolled that out.

  @CardPurchaser I've been gunshy about eBay because I'm not established there, & I hear so many horror stories. Maybe this winter on football Sundays I'll saddle up & start posting on eBay again. The problem now is, I have hundreds (or thousands) of $1-$20 cards. The time it takes will be tough

  @BDEEZUS @grimm1216 That’s always been my issue with CL as well. Used to work at an LCS and we had to buy off CL only. Different search strings can give you wildly different result, often by hundreds of $$ - eBay is much looser with its AI’ queries
