  A broke 21-year-old in England spent $50 on a website and sold it off one pixel at a time, a dollar each. Five months later he had $1,037,100. The site was the Million Dollar Homepage. Alex Tew built it in 2005 to pay his university fees. The whole page was a blank grid of a million pixels, 1,000 across and 1,000 down. A single pixel is too tiny to see, so he sold them in 10 by 10 blocks for $100 a block. Pay up, drop in a small logo, link it wherever you wanted. There was no product behind it and no investors. People bought a square because everyone was looking at the page, and everyone was looking because other people had bought squares. He got it going himself. Friends and family took the first 4,700 pixels, and he used that cash to hire a PR firm and send out a press release. The BBC picked it up. Within two months, 100,000 people were visiting every day and more than half the grid was sold. On New Year's Day 2006 he auctioned off the last 1,000 pixels on eBay. The day it started, someone emailed demanding $5,000 to leave the site alone, then raised it to $50,000. When he refused, they flooded the page with fake traffic to crash it and knocked it offline for a while. The FBI and his local police in England both opened cases. The site came back, and the auction finished. A weight loss site won the last pixels for $38,100, pushing the total past a million. Tew dropped out of the business degree the whole stunt was supposed to pay for. The homepage itself is still online, frozen in 2005, a perfect little time capsule of what the web used to look like. The links are a graveyard. In 2017 a team at Harvard's Library Innovation Lab clicked through every one, and 547 led nowhere. Companies closed, domains expired. Ad space that sold for $342,000 now loads a blank screen. Tew did fine. He took the money, kept building, and went on to co-found Calm, the meditation app last valued at $2 billion.

  @AANCollect It's exceptionally confusing when a buyer is awaiting a package and Ebay automatically posts a message saying it was delivered with no issues, particularly as we've all dealt with the "delivered in mailbox" aspect of ESE for a card that was not yet "delivered in mailbox".

  I'm flying through this series but apparently there monolith solo miniseries from 1991 has literally never been uploaded online or even reprinted, I'd have to buy the issues on eBay if I wanted to read them :(

  @eBay @ebay for the amount of money you guys make fix your customer service it’s one of the worst I have ever dealt with and I deal with masshealth who’s even worse.

  @LlcPickaxe Always look up the value on eBay, sometimes they can be an insane amount higher than the CL value it should honestly be illegal that they can do that. For example I had a $500 CL value on a card and it sold on eBay for $1k+. Obv not comparable here but still is an issue

  I take no pleasure in saying this, but it’s the truth. You could reduce headcount by at least 30% at most big Corps and the business would not be impacted whatsoever. Unless you’ve experienced both big Corp and SMB, you can’t fathom just how bloated most big Corps are. If you’ve only worked big Corp you don’t know any different and assume it’s how businesses must run. If you’ve only worked SMB you don’t know what it’s like to have a 20 person HR Department. It’s interesting to see people like Ryan Cohen go into eBay and Elon Musk go into Twitter and essentially ask “what the hell are all these people actually doing?” Excessive bloat is painfully obvious to them on day 1. The harsh truth is activity inside most Corps is centered around individual self-preservation and internal optics. Everyone is busy. Deadlines. Meetings. Presentations. Hustle. Stress. Many performative acts of hard work. Problem is the majority of that “stuff” is internally focused. Not nearly enough leaves the 4 walls and impacts the business. The ratio of work to meaningful output is wildly out of whack. When I worked at Kraft Heinz I got promoted for “being good in meetings”. I’m not kidding. My bosses trusted me to handle conversations w their bosses (and their bosses), which was extremely valuable to them. And up the Corp ladder I went. AI will of course accelerate this dynamic. While most big Corps will be slow to fully adopt AI, over time it’ll only shine a brighter light on the bloat and inefficiency. To be clear, layoffs suck. Real people are impacted. But if you work in a big Corp you need to understand you’ll be skating on increasingly thin ice over the next decade. It only takes one leader or activist investor w non-conformist thinking to risk being cut. Regardless of your tenure or what your latest performance review said. Plan accordingly.

  @CatNihon @jboren21170 @TommyKarate70 At the time I was looking to get it repaired - it would have been cheaper to just buy another one on ebay instead of paying a tech to try and fix it. They've definitely gone up in price since then...

  @nice_investment @PhantomBlack699 howso..? If you go down that list. I might guess that those institutional investors are begging RC to take over the eBay business. These people see the same absurdities with salaries, board compensation, strategic decisions, etc., that we do. The current eBay leadership are out of control, and have been for years.

  If eBay’s board were a listing: Used. Not working. Sold as-is. No returns. No upgrades offered. High reserve price (non-negotiable). Buyer pays all fees. $GME $EBAY

  @DrHoenderkamp @NorwichMatt I own things which you would assume means I'm not working class. Ever heard of charity shops, ebay, vinted? I haven't bought anything 'new' since the 80s apart from shoes & underwear. Same for furniture EVERYTHING in my house is second-hand, apart from mattresses & 1 shower.
