  @SleuthyFella Yeah, I was just using a cheap compact digital camera. I was wishing I had a DSLR then. I finally broke down and bought one on eBay which I've hardly used cause it doesn't have an LCD screen hence why it was so cheap but I knew this when I bought it. 🤪

  @eBay Well the latest I am told is "No worries I was able to see that your account is indeed not connected to any other accounts," but no reason why I have this message and cannot bid or how to fix it...

  I went further down the TD rabbit hole, and there is a more concrete connection than I initially realized. First, a correction: TD Securities (USA) LLC was the initial purchaser for both GME convertible offerings—the 2030s and 2032s, ultimately covering the full $4.2B—not just the 2032 notes. The same TD entity later gave GameStop the highly confident letter regarding up to $20B of eBay acquisition financing. That does not prove TD still owned the notes or arranged this exchange. “Initial purchaser” means TD placed the notes with QIBs, and the exchange filing does not identify the participating holders. So I still don’t think we can establish that roadshow investors were being rewarded with equity. But TD’s financing letter contains what I now think is the strongest connection: Its confidence in raising the $20B expressly assumed that the combined company would obtain investment-grade ratings from at least two major rating agencies. Moody’s subsequently estimated that the proposed structure would leave the combined company with approximately $31.4B of debt and gross leverage close to 9× at closing. The agreed $1.4B exchange, if completed, would cut GME’s convertible principal by one-third and reduce that pro forma debt figure to roughly $30B—without using acquisition cash. On Moody’s original EBITDA assumptions, that only moves illustrative leverage from roughly 9.1× to 8.7×. So it doesn’t solve the financing problem by itself, particularly with $2.8B of converts still remaining. But it is directionally consistent with improving the credit and ratings case after eBay specifically criticized GME’s financing uncertainty and combined-company leverage. So I would refine the thesis: This does not appear to be about the converts legally blocking an eBay acquisition, nor does it prove institutions were simply “rewarded.” It looks more plausibly like one piece of a broader recapitalization—exchange debt for common equity, preserve cash, reduce gross leverage and future cash claims, and make a very large acquisition-financing package more credible. Still not proof of eBay. TD’s letter is explicitly not a commitment, and the exchanging holders may hedge or sell. But the investment-grade-rating condition gives this move a much more concrete economic rationale than Rule 144A or September 23 alone. Credit where it’s due — @dirtevader your post pushed me much further down this rabbit hole than I originally intended.

  @AmeraucanaLover I deal in comic books. Some comic shop owners look down on customers who buy from them with the intention of flipping it. Which is hypocritical, because every shop owner in the modern day got their start flipping books on eBay they got from local shops.

  @DavidDTawil @GeniusPothead @Whatnot Point taken. GameStop does have an e-commerce site already: perhaps they build a 2nd hand marketplace into their existing site. If they did go down this route (starting something to compete with eBay), they have the advantage of being able to certify high dollar value collectibles via PSA for example. Maybe I’m being a bit conspiratorial, but I get the feeling GameStop is up to something. 🤔 And… I looked up sales by category for FY2025. Collectibles: $1.060 billion (29.2% of sales) → up 47.7% (biggest growth driver; includes trading cards, toys, apparel, and PSA grading services) Collectibles rose from ~19% of sales in the prior year to nearly 30%, in other quarters that number was 33%.

  I got a strong offer on eBay, but would like to keep this sale off eBay. 2003-04 Fleer Authentix LeBron James Rookie /1250. I can send video, but truthfully, the only issue are the edges (very common). A BGS 7.5 did $425 July 7th, a raw with an upside down picture did $312 August 6th. $300 shipped gets it done. I do recommend sending in to get graded, as the 7.5 grade edges look somewhat similar to mine. The only other knock on that one was the centering, which truthfully, I don’t know how to tell centering on this card lol

  @MarkMattern35 @FIPmyWHIP @CardPurchaser It's not a money thing. Having actual humans meticulous grade an item takes TIME. The main issue is/was that folks were submitting millions of crappy cards that were essentially worthless. Go look at ebay. This is PSA's way of saying only submit cards worth grading.

  This is absolute bullshit. BlackRock just added millions more $GME shares, taking one of its largest positions ever. @RyanCohen appears to have accepted that buying @eBay outright may not be the move and a strategic partnership could accomplish plenty without torching the balance sheet. @GameStop is still sitting on an absurd mountain of cash relative to its valuation. Yet EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. $GME looks ready to break out… WHAM. Straight back down. At some point you stop calling this “normal price discovery.” $GME remains the most manipulated stock on Wall Street.

  Jimmy Fallon was using his eyes to r4pe Dakota Johnson and she felt uncomfortable Dakota Johnson: Tell me if there's a problem... Jimmy Fallon: Right now there’s not a problem. Well, there’s almost a problem! But keep your posture real good and everything is going according to plan. Dakota Johnson: Does anyone have like a blanket I could wear? Just kidding! Jimmy Fallon: Here, try this! (Jimmy reaches into his desk and hands Dakota a single white paper tissue.) Dakota Johnson: (Tucks the tissue neatly into her blazer collar to cover up, fluffing it like a chic silk bow) Jimmy Fallon: That’s perfect! No one will even know the difference! You look gorgeous. Honestly, I’m putting this tissue on eBay this evening—TMZ is going to go crazy!

  @PeakHobby @eBay @gamestop unfortunate for whoever bought these for sure. Platforms like ebay should crack down a lot harder on this activity too.

  @foxenflask @heydomoshi Yeah, it can definitely be manipulated exactly like that by less than honest actors. In most cases, you should still have eBay Moneyback Guarantee coverage even without authentication. So if there is an issue once you receive it, you still have options. But like you point it, it's just a bad buyer experience that is likely to leave a bad taste in your mouth even if everything turns out fine.

  @eBay if you ever bring in the extended bidding process to the US Ebay, you'll likely lose millions of bidders and revenue. Horrible pathway to go down and I would not recommend it infiltrate your platform @eBayAU

  @FindleysFinance They never had this money to buy eBay. I think it was a tactic they used to try to make the eBay stock go down so they could buy more shares. I think their goal is accumulating 10-20% of eBay shares instead of buying the whole business, as they most likely want voting rights.

  @eBay - Recently had a card not pass authentication and have the following feedback. I have had a an issue with authentication. They said I altered the card and I did not. (The authentication passed this card once when I bought it and did not note it for being altered. After receiving it, I did not alter it.) I had to apologize to my buyer on behalf of eBay, return hard earned money, and all because the person at authentication failed to do their job correctly. This is unacceptable behavior and I will follow up with the BBB next. As eBay resellers, we all need to push back against these unfair business tactics. This is going to get a formal complaint to eBay, as well as many more I am sure until they make it optional. #eBay | @CardPurchaser
