  [WHY I MADE A TRADING CARD APP AT 16 Y/O + What the app is] About a year ago, my best friend and I got back into Pokémon cards because of the new hype cycle around modern cards. After entering a completely different field of Pokémon from when we were kids, we realized everything wrong with card shows, eBay, scalping, and the limitations of the hobby. Originally, we wanted to create a marketplace with 0% fees, however, we soon realized that buying and selling wasn't the problem. The problem was trading: 1. eBay and card shows take huge chunks of value when you try sell cards 2. The reason people sell their cards is just to buy more cards (an infinite cycle of fees that decrease the value of your collection) 3. If you want to trade (at a card show or a shop), your cards will only be valued at around 70-80% 4. There's no way to trade online 5. There's no safe or pure way to find other collectors for trading (only options are social media or Facebook Marketplace) So, we made Utopia (naming it after the "perfect destination" for collectors), where collectors can find other collectors in their area that have the cards they want for 0% fees.

  @BlueNinjaXX @preterniadotcom I've not looked in a while, but at one point that light blue version was going in excess of $200 on ebay. I'm sure the recent darker color release drastically brought it down, but still whenever they initially start planning this out many months ago, it was a pricier fig.

  @ebay Hi! I need assistance with a return for an Authenticity Guarantee item that your Automated Assistant refuses to escalate to someone live. The issue is I purchased 2-cards that failed the "authentication" process due to a miscategorized item. Now i can't get ebay to help

  $GME WHAT IF?! 🔥🚀💎 What if they hit us with a one-for-four reverse split RIGHT NOW? 🃏 REVERSE UNO CARD 🃏 21.60 → 86.40 💥 Those ~59M warrants at a $32 strike (expiring Oct 30, 2026). At $21.60 they’re OTM. At $86.40 they go deep ITM and get exercised. ≈ $1.89 billion cash lands on the balance sheet. Zero interest. Zero lenders. Zero covenants. GME already owns 43.39 million $eBay shares. They don’t pay themselves for those. Remaining shares that still need to be acquired: 444M − 43.39M = 400.61M Total value of those remaining shares at $125: $50.076 billion → Cash half: $25.038 billion → Stock half: $25.038 billion At the current ~$21.60 price, that stock half would require issuing roughly 1.16 billion new GME shares (more than double the current share count). A reverse split that takes the stock to $86.40 cuts the number of shares needed by 75% — down to ~290 million shares for the same $25B in stock value. Current funding picture: • Estimated liquid after the big buys: ~$4.05B • TD letter: ~$20B • Total without warrants: $24.05B • Shortfall on the cash half: ~$0.99B The warrants bring in $1.89B → gap closed with ~$0.90B headroom left. ✅ GME doesn’t have to fund the 43.39M shares it already owns. The warrants aren’t just dry powder, they’re the piece that makes the cash half of the remaining shares actually fundable. 🔥 Who else is ready for this timeline?! 👀 #GME #GameStop #EBAY @ryancohen

  If you think about it all you're really doing is paying an absurd premium to have a shot at slightly more upside on a stock that trends down almost always and will occasionally move higher in large bursts, but you will be doing so in a pool of bots and degens who will sell into thin liquidity on every price spike. Seems better to buy shares or options. The price of GME is unlikely to stay at 60 dollars once the market opens, if it does the stock could go crazy bc (depending on the options chain) you'll get a gamma pump and at the same time suddenly GameStop buying eBay looks extremely attractive to eBay shareholders. It's not likely to happen though bc degens are trading on thin liquidity. So people are most likely going to get rekt and robinhood is going to make a mint. This would have been more interesting if it was launched during market hours, but it will still be interesting to see how the stock responds (if at all) when it does open, bc that'll show how the underlying is being impacted by these tokenised stocks.

  On Self-destructing Books and the Permanency of Art James Patterson announced in 2015, the sale of his new book that would self-destruct within 24 hours. The details were scant as to how, exactly, it would destroy itself, but the joke remains: "Don't we wish all Patterson's books would self-destruct?" The real issue here is the permanency of art. How long should it be around? How many times should the public be able to enjoy it before it returns to dust? If a sculptor creates a bronze bust of Edgar Allan Poe, they want the sculpture to last as long as possible and be enjoyed by everyone. If a sculptor enters a sandcastle competition on Siesta Key Beach, they know the public will only enjoy it for a weekend, tops. The same goes for sidewalk chalk artists. They have a few days or until the next hard rain or flock of loose-boweled birds fly overhead to have the world enjoy their art. No one could reasonably argue that the sculptor of bronze is more of an artist than the sandcastle sculptor or sidewalk chalk artists just because her art is more permanent. Being a fiction writer and editor, I feel that books should be less permanent. Somewhere between 24 hour, self-destructing books and those we have with us from 2000 years ago, books should vanish back into dust. The ideas in the books and their characters should not go on living in the minds of readers, but the physical copy of the book should vanish sooner than later. Of course many people see a painting or a bronze sculpture. But what about live art; performance art from playwrights and ballerinas? The consumers of this art buy a ticket, see the play and the art lives on only in the consumers' minds. The businessperson inside me doesn't like selling one copy of a book that can be passed around for the next decade or two, falling in and out of the hands of hundreds of readers who have never paid me a penny for the entertainment they are about to enjoy. The money, these days, goes to Amazon and Ebay and a host of other online etailers that resell books--not the artist. I wish (selfishly) that books were the same. If only an ebook could erase after one read and a physical book should self-destruct after one read, too. James Patterson should get to work on that issue. Meanwhile, I will keep slugging away at the keyboard.

  @AJ9352 Understandable, same thing occurred to me. But then again, I make purchases from Amazon and eBay fairly regularly and have never had any issues, and they hold the same information.
