  @Sweatypalmssss But we’ve done that and the stock is down by a lot. I think the problem is poor capital allocation. Sat on cash, wasted some on bitcoin, diluted for a low return eBay acquisition.

  Quick heads up: Over the weekend I had an inventory glitch that caused roughly half of my 7,000 listings to be removed on eBay and CollX. The company I use for inventory management has since completed a bulk restore, and most everything appears to be back where it should be, but I’m still finding a few oddities here and there. If you happen to come across a card in my store that shows unavailable, looks out of place, or seems like something isn’t right with the listing, please let me know. I’d appreciate the extra set of eyes while I finish getting everything cleaned up. 🔎 Find Your Next Favorite Card.

  @SBCards25 I would go one seller at a time. Look at each step as its own isolated process. Just like a science experiment, each step has to be done in isolation before moving to the next step. So it can be: Find listings from DCSports for "Ken Griffey, Mike Trout, PSA 9 or above" Provide that link, since that never changes. Return results to DB Then find the listings on Probstein, returns to DB. Then from the DB it renders the decision how much to bid Then outputs that to snipe tool Then directs snipe tool for bidding Claude is going to be slow, and in some ways that's good. If it's a logged in browser request, eBay will bot detect it pretty quick, so you actually want it navigating somewhat methodically.

  @jsquit @Official_LMM_ The problem is selling customs, not making them or giving them away, right? Let's say I sell a $50 pencil on eBay but give away a free custom 1/64 for each pencil sold. Would that be illegal?

  Multichannel sellers stack a repricer, an inventory suite, a review bot — and still run the business from a spreadsheet. Built Tropel to fix that. One troop of AI agents runs pricing, stock, offers, reviews, and margins across Amazon, MercadoLibre, Shopify, and eBay. Live soon.

  @eBay Why doesn't eBay have a single customer service rep with whom I can talk? Their pervasive use of AI to ward off customer issues and concerns troubles me greatly. I guess I will need to ask for my money back with my credit card, since eBay so effectively seeks to block me from any real, human interaction. It is too bad. I always liked eBay. But when you need them, they simply are not there.

  @TheWarRoomNZ 'Castle Doctrine'.... covered under S 55 of The Crimes Act. We have window-decals placed all round our house depicting a Cowboy on horseback holding a rifle in the air. Text reads.... "INSURED BY WINCHESTER" Never once have we been broken into. Got them off ebay.

  @westgate141 @Mogombi @CardPurchaser Lovely card Mogombi. Missing that one myself. I saw the 1/1 on ebay/COMC, and wanted to eventually buy it, but was taken down when his return was announced. Go figure.

  Every ******* time. I swear Facebook Marketplace needs a special button somewhere between "Message Seller" and "Is This Available?" that simply says: "This has absolutely ****-all to do with me, so I'll keep scrolling." Apparently, however, that level of self-control remains beyond a surprisingly large percentage of the population. I'm currently selling several tactical backpacks, operator attachés and patrol bags. They are brand new, most are still in the original packaging with the tags attached, and I'm selling them for less than their normal retail price. Some of them I originally acquired through BOGO promotions. Others I bought individually. Enter Fucknuts McGinty, Marketplace Economic Correspondent and apparently self-appointed Guardian of Other People's Transactions: "You can get two of them for that price from their website." First of all... No, you ******* can't. The price I'm asking is about $40 LESS than what you'd currently pay for the equivalent purchase. But even if you could, allow me to introduce you to a revolutionary concept apparently absent from whatever remedial economics course you attended: A BOGO promotion does not mean the second item has no value. It means I bought one item at full retail price and received another item as part of the transaction. Now I own both. They're mine. I can keep them. I can give one to a friend. I can donate one to charity. I can fill one with ******* jellybeans and bury it in the garden as a time capsule. Or... And stay with me here because this is where **** gets complicated... I can sell it. What I paid for an item has absolutely ****-all to do with what that item is worth to somebody else. If I buy something for $100 and the store gives me another one as part of a promotion, that does not magically require me to give the second one away. I'm offering someone the opportunity to buy a brand-new item for less than the normal retail price without having to spend the additional money required to qualify for whatever promotion happened to exist when I bought it. Buyer saves money. I recover some money. Everybody involved in the transaction benefits. Nobody is being deceived. Nobody is being ripped off. No laws are being broken. Capitalism continues functioning. The Earth remains in orbit. Civilization somehow survives another ******* day. Which brings me to the part I genuinely don't understand: Why ******** do some people feel compelled to complain about transactions they have absolutely no intention of participating in? Don't like my price? Don't buy it. Think you've found it cheaper somewhere else? Buy it there. Already own seventeen of the ******* things? Congratulations. Keep scrolling. There are literally thousands of other Marketplace listings available for you to look at. Yet somehow there is always that one miserable bastard who apparently cannot make it through his day without finding SOMETHING, somewhere, involving complete strangers, that he can ***** and whine about. The truly remarkable part is that my selling this bag has precisely ZERO effect on his life. I didn't knock on his door. I didn't empty his bank account. I didn't hold his dog hostage until he bought a tactical backpack. I posted an item for sale. That's it. Somebody wants it at my asking price, they buy it. Somebody doesn't want it at my asking price, they don't. This incredibly sophisticated economic system has successfully operated at yard sales, flea markets, gun shows, classified ads, eBay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for ******* decades. Yet apparently we're still struggling with: "If you don't want the ******* thing, don't buy the ******* thing." There. I've just condensed several centuries of free-market economics into twelve words. You're ******* welcome.

  @ebay is a fraud ridden scam marketplace. I've had enough. Understand that eBay has zero incentive to correct fraud, they profit from it. This is a caution, intended for anyone that needs to be disabused of the notion that the eBay platform offers either party in a transaction security assurances. They don't. They will continue defrauding their users until it becomes unprofitable, and not before. Whether you intend to buy, or become a seller, you will be ripped off, finding out once it's too late that the promises, the commitments eBay claims to have toward being a safe and fair marketplace, are garbage. The check cleared, they got theirs, you lose. Stay away from eBay, if you value your sanity, and your wallet. It's a broken company run by dysfunctional, sick people. Avoid eBay at all cost.

  Millions of Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and eBay sellers still write listings once and leave money on the table. Built Vendograph to fix that. The platform generates, keyword-optimizes, and split-tests product copy across every channel — then auto-deploys the winner. Live soon.

  an issue I don't see people talking about in this discourse is that bootlegs are so hated because they usually try to pass themselves off as official. go onto amazon or ebay and look for a figure, and theres a hundred listings of bootlegs which aren't listed as such

  Here's something of interest to anyone with Guitar and Amp Buying Syndrome (an undiagnosed but real problem with some of us!). I was looking at some kingsley pedals on Reverb many of the *used* pedals were listed at $200+ above their price brand new on he Kingsley website. This just goes to show: Always do your homework. A lot of gear on Reverb/Ebay has its price hiked to make a quick buck.

  I love it when people break things down on X @JayKapoorNYC I agree with Jay here, I myself wondered the economics of building and providing inference. Its not like it can't be done but here is something to consider an NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GB300 NVL72 rack-scale system costs between $3 million and $6.5 million. so, its not like buying a GPU from Ebay to setup ur own Inference shop.
