  @poop_booger I don’t use the eBay envelopes. I ship with my own bubble mailers or if it’s an expensive card I use one of PSA’s boxes. I’ve read about a lot of problems with the eBay envelopes.

  This is super misleading. Ai doom and gloom is getting out of control. Just try calling: • Verizon • AT&T • Comcast • Microsoft • Amazon • Google • Apple • Chase • Bank of America • Capital One • Wells Fargo • Walmart • Target • eBay • Geico • Progressive • State Farm None of these huge American companies use American call centers. Those “American jobs” fearmongers cry about weren’t staying here anyway - they’re not even here now. They were all shipped overseas (India, Philippines, etc.) AI handling the routine stuff (password resets, billing) can actually bring better service back stateside while keeping humans for complex issues. The real threat to US customer service jobs was offshoring. AI might finally help reverse it. Stop the panic.

  @MichaelTLoPiano I think we are in a very interesting time right now if GameStop is doing what I THINK they are doing. Using mechanical downward pressure from Ebay arb traders to help keep the price down while they buy and essentially have $32 call options (warrants) that they can collect if/when price gets there. If they end up erasing ~90M shares, I can't imagine it NOT.

  @ImSoSmart1985 @Malone_Wealth Of course. When GME acquires eBay, GME will go down. When they become the most profitable company in the history of the universe, the share price will drop 5%. When they own everything everywhere except the hedge funds, it will drop 3%.

  A higher probability scenario than most realize called out by 🤖 here. Technically, this path is still taking it to shareholders. If the $EBAY special meeting threshold is voted down to 10% ownership, RC has that ability with a ~$4.3B investment after exercising contracts. Then he could make $EBAY shareholders vote on the current board, or his plan to gain control of the company. RC could have control in ~9 months, operating agreements could be signed between $GME & $EBAY for RC to fully execute his vision and a formal merger could take place much later when RC proves his vision, with GameStop as the parent company. This path also opens up cash for $2B buybacks in attempt to have all $32 strike warrants exercise by end of October, to return $1.9B in cash and help meet some market cap targets in RC’s proposed comp structure. One key thing to note, GME’s eBay ownership needs to stay below 15% to avoid triggering Delaware’s anti-takeover statute (Section 203) which would mean no merger w/o board approval for at least 3 years (different story if RC’s team becomes the board).

  i miss peak era ovw we had hoodies and shirts and bags and figures and cute keychains and product + food collaborations and the only way you can get any of that anymore is by buying them overpriced on ebay or some other reseller site, it feels terrible 🥀

  @BrandonNie43375 @DeItaone Terrible deal for Ebay shareholders, The GME stock they receive would be worth a couple of dollars/share and an even worse for GME shareholders. Even then the combined entity would have so much debt at unfavorable rates, a turnaround would take very long time.

  A 21-year-old made $300,000 selling silent AI rigs to indie founders. He builds them for $1,000 and they kill $5,000-a-month cloud AI bills. He'd never built a PC, and Claude wrote the whole setup. Here's the build: You need 4 things. → Used RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM ($500) → Ryzen 7 CPU and motherboard bundle ($250) → 64GB DDR4 RAM ($150) → Silent case with passive cooler and PSU ($100) Total cost is around $1,000 if you shop Facebook Marketplace and eBay. Order all four parts from Facebook Marketplace and eBay. Snap the CPU into the socket and mount the passive cooler on top. Install Ubuntu Server with the NVIDIA driver pre-loaded. Have Claude write the Ollama config that loads Llama 70B at startup. Plug it into a closet outlet and forget about it. The whole rig sits in a closet and makes zero noise. A startup founder was paying $5,000 a month for OpenAI credits. He plugged this rig into a spare closet outlet. His team queries it like ChatGPT through a local URL. He never hears it run. By month two, his cloud bill dropped to zero. He sells his to indie founders, AI startups, and small agencies running support bots. You can sell yours to coding assistants, marketing automation shops, podcast transcript services, or any business burning thousands on tokens. Hardware cost: $1,000 to $1,500. Selling price: $4,000 to $10,000. The hardest part was never the hardware. It was noticing that startups will pay anything to stop the bleed. Find any team burning cash on API tokens and ship them a closet.

  Its impressive the @openclaw frenzy. I'm looking for a Mini PC or something to run a simple home server instead of a VPS and Mac Mini was a good choice. On Ebay a 6y/o used Mac Mini 400-500$, and a Macbook Air M1 also 16gb for 200-300$ 👀 Same chip!

  @eToroAU Amazon will crash because loyal customers like me will switch to temu or ebay when they take more than 2 weeks to solve account problem.

  @Comedyorwat BINGO! All this BS about the twists and turns … it boils down to just this. He is using the same method he originally used on GME, tried to use on BBBY and now has learned a **** ton more and is better prepared to take the big fish out. eBay will belong to GameStop, soon.

  @Fruitloops1984 I am aware of several methods eBay could employ if they wished to slow down or deter GameStop. My comment was in regards to Cohe’s motivation. Some suggest he is not serious. I disagree.

  A broken laser pointer. On Labor Day weekend in 1995, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar launched the site (originally called AuctionWeb) from his living room as a personal project. He listed his own broken laser pointer, which he had bought for about $30 but stopped working after a couple of weeks, to test the platform. He was upfront in the listing that it didn’t work, even with new batteries. It sold for $14.83 to a buyer named Mark Fraser (a collector of broken laser pointers, according to the legend). The sale happened shortly after the site went live on September 3, 1995. This quirky first transaction is often cited as the perfect symbol for eBay: turning something worthless into value through online auctions. Does anyone still use eBay?
