  Do you actually understand what's happening. While everyone is arguing about API pricing, this guy soldered his own AI server together, plugged it into the wall, and turned it into a $22,000/month retainer. Not a rack. Not a rented GPU. A custom loop, a used EPYC, two H100s off eBay, and a case he cut himself. Boots in 40 seconds. Runs six models. Answers to nobody. He spent three days building the first agent. An accounts-payable bot that reads inbound invoices, matches them to POs, flags mismatches, drafts the approval email, and closes the loop in the client's ERP. Zero SaaS in the stack. All local, all his. Then he recorded a 90-second Loom. Sent it to one CFO he'd met once. She signed the same week. The second one came from her introduction. The third from LinkedIn. The fourth just asked. 7 clients. Each paying $2,750/month. Each replacing a $18,000-a-month back office line item. They don't cancel. Cancelling costs them $15,000 the next morning. $22,000 a month. Built on a box in his garage. Owned outright. Zero recurring cost except the electric bill. Everyone else is still refreshing the OpenAI pricing page.

  @_Goose77 @platochi $PURR is supposed to be a levered bet on $HYPE. If you are buying an option on $PURR, you are levering the leverage and asking for trouble. Do it with an ETF. $GME is extremely speculative. It raised billions, and is trying to buy EBAY. If it had an ATM from the beginning, there won't be much of a Gamma squeeze. If they want to give you stupid money, take it.

  @AMCbiggums Everyone fears big dilution but if we acquire ebay we will have a much much higher market cap and default share float.. so the math is completely new when RC would issue more shares. Am i wrong here?

  @alphafox I have an NES with a refurbished cartridge slot I bought on eBay, and the seller said to try playing games without pushing the cartridge down. In fact, it usually won’t work if you push the cartridge down. (Obviously they’ve modified it. Maybe this is where the rumor started?)

  @asalovey96 Totally - I’d trust him over max for sure. He clearly knows ball and looked up the comps lol ebay needs to fix that - if you have a decline on messages about lower prices you should be terminated from the platform when you’re at 10% of asking lol

  @katrinnaplays @PlayStation facts thats the main reason i bought the unpatched switch on ebay that can be hacked with a paperclip and tinfoil, nintendo may have fixed the vulnerabilty in the red box v2s and other models but people have managed to hack those, and nintendo did take down dumping tools but little do they know people back everything up.

  @Velvettedarling @Assybi_ Tia had to take their shop down bc Spindlehorse came out with a new rule that anyone who has worked on hazbin cannot sell unofficial merch of the show. So sadly, anyone who didnt buy those standees are out of luck unless someone sells them on ebay or something

  A company with 30 employees made $1 billion a year. Not Google. Not Facebook. Craigslist. At its peak, revenue per employee was 10-20x Google's. The founder did everything "wrong": rejected billions from VCs, ran zero ads, and demoted himself to customer support. Then within 6 years, revenue crashed 70%+. Here’s the real story. • Started as a simple email list in 1995 by Craig Newmark, an IBM programmer. • Friends asked to post jobs and rentals. He built a bare-bones website — intentionally ugly, like a community bulletin board. • Zero marketing spend. Network effects did all the work. • In 1999, he made it a for-profit company but kept 99% free. Charged only for some job posts in a few cities. • In 2000, he stepped down as CEO to become a customer service rep. He didn't like managing people. • The result: ~30 employees, ~$1B annual revenue (reportedly, around 2018). For comparison, Google's per-employee revenue was ~$1.2M; Facebook's ~$1.6M. Craigslist's was $20-35M. • They rejected every opportunity to make more money. Every niche they dominated was later turned into a billion-dollar company by someone else: • Jobs → LinkedIn • Housing → Zillow • Goods → eBay, Facebook Marketplace • Then crises hit: • 2004: eBay bought 30% of Craigslist without founders' consent. Legal battle followed. Craigslist converted to an LLC to avoid shareholder profit demands. • 2009: "Craigslist killer" — a medical student used the site to commit murder. The adult services section, worth $36M/year, was shut down. • Mobile revolution: Craigslist stayed ugly and desktop-only. Facebook Marketplace launched in 2016, fully mobile, with real names. It surpassed 1 billion users by 2021. • Revenue reportedly dropped from ~$1B (2018) to ~$300M (2023). A 70% decline. The irony? The same principles that built Craigslist killed it: • 99% free → no money to modernize • No investment → no strategic pivot • Anti-commercial → picked apart by specialists Craig Newmark today lives in an apartment, owns no car, keeps pigeons. He's donated over $500M to journalism — the very industry his site helped destroy. This isn't a story of failure. It's a story of choices. You can live by your values and be comfortable. But markets don't wait. Craigslist's decline was a choice. Takeaway: If you don't evolve, you get eaten. Security and growth rarely coexist. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #Craigslist #BusinessLessons

  Ryan Cohen is out here pitching himself to buy eBay and fire its 11,500 employees. retail is already treating this like a confirmed masterstroke for $GME. let me just work out the actual debt mechanics of swallowing a legacy tech giant today. you cant just tweet a buyout into existence. to take a public company private you need Wall Street to syndicate the debt. actually wait, he does have that cash pile he built by diluting his own apes. but even that isnt enough to take down a target this size without a massive external loan. here is the exact chain for how this dies. you pitch the LBO to the banks. they calculate the debt service against current overnight funding costs. they stress test the cash flow of a global marketplace supposedly run by one guy from his house. then the credit desk denies the paper because the cost of capital is simply too high to fund a meme. retail holding GME calls expecting a massive M&A catalyst here is positioned completely wrong and will just bleed out to theta. credit markets dont care about your 1995 nostalgia.

  @NJDevilsMusee I get my cards (for the most part) by buying single packs and unseen auctions on ebay. Never more than 2 packs from the same store- always from different places so they aren’t coming from the same cases- this also works with upperdeckEPack. The issue with this is you might not find single packs of certain sets- I saw OPC platinum one pack 35$- I never buy those- I’ve gotten big OPC Platinum hits from regular OPC packs bc they toss cards from other sets into the cheaper sets-I don’t really know sites to look at regarding x accounts or breakers or anything bc I mostly just do it on my own and my process/the way I seperate where I get them from and when I get them has proven to be a solid. If this doesn’t make sense dm me lol

  @SavvyTamz_57 I bought a Bissel because my vacuum is heavy and I didn’t want to carry in up and down the stairs. It works well, sucks up the dog hair, which I have a lot (we have an Aussie) and is light. I have an LG stick vacuum, it works, but I am always buying parts off ebay for repair.

  The problem with art comms is that the market's essentially the wild west: Google Maps lets me see reviews for establishments; Amazon and eBay also for products. But no centralized marketplace for artists. It's all word of mouth or experimentation.

  I’m putting these thoughts down in the middle of the potential eBay bid because I do think Chewy has a role to play. Maybe it’s soon, maybe it’s a year from now, but I do think chewy is integral in helping blow up the basket. The Teddy books emphasized it way too hard.

  @HeardChanda @WashProbs I always figure it would be over real fast if someone just went down the supply chain of whoever makes like brand new perfect Confederate flags and stuff like that like you can't buy the stuff on eBay anymore so where does perfect heraldic parade regalia of hate groups really get made in 2026, that just looks immaculate but they still pop up out of a bandbox as if it was like 5 cents to make the flags and stuff

  @JonBbC_TechGeek It seems like a lot of these edge cases just come down to the car not retaining context, I’m sure the car saw the rock as it was coming in. Good luck on the repair though! Hit my side view mirror once trying to back into my garage and it was not easy finding spare parts to match on eBay 😭

  Tomorrow wouldn’t surprise me if $GME announces plans to table going after $EBAY for the foreseeable future. eBay is navigating several major legal and regulatory issues, including a revived cyberstalking lawsuit, whistleblower claims, and European regulatory actions.

  From the Archive (@FromtheArchive) reported 59 minutes ago

  @_PigginTeaBreak I think the whole model is flawed. This may be a remnant of all sorts of things on the front end I have no understanding about but as premium products at a premium price, people are going to miss out. Hardly anything gets released where we have the luxury of picking it up even a week later. I agree, we make tough choices on what we "save up for" and as much as I love the output of the Character Options line of figures, it's too much. Let alone, I'm in the US so even if I do want it, I will need to pay exorbitant fees through something like eBay which is more of an America problem than anything else.
