  When we were teenagers, my friends and I held reverence for hackers. One morning back in 2000, I woke up and heard on the news that someone had brought down Amazon, E-Trade, Yahoo, eBay, and CNN. Sweet. Sometime after that, news broke of the arrest of the perpetrator: a 15 year old boy named Michael Calce -aka MafiaBoy. I thought that was just the coolest **** ever because I was 15, too. There was this whole era where our parents, teachers, and other adults believed that just because some of us were adept with computers, that we were capable of terrible things like MafiaBoy was. The worst we were capable were isolated incidents at school or in public. I knew how to get into my schools grading and attendance system, SASI -but never had the ***** to change my grades. I added classes to the system like "RUSTY TROMBONING" and put in people I liked or didn't like, and gave them a grade commensurate to what I believed their talent in such an act was. But I backed out -I was messing with forces I couldn't control. I undid it all and never made another attempt. Friend of mine in Colorado would get expelled from school around the same time for constantly getting printers throughout the school to print out The Hackers Manifesto as read from the movie Hackers. He got arrested a few years later after accessing the customer database of one of the big supermarket chains in his area.

  @Braves_Jacob @CardPurchaser In my experience lower end cards sell faster on Vinted. Higher end sell better on eBay. They payout as soon as the card is delivered. They give the buyer 48 hours to report any issues. I’ve never had any issues. If anything goes missing in the post, Vinted refund you.

  @davidfrum I actually put up “missing bear” signs all around the neighbourhood. I had to give in & go down the eBay route only to discover the one I bought was 3x the size. We had to say that BearBear had been on holiday & had eaten very well (OG BearBear turned up in wardrobe 5years later)

  Six tools, ten hours a week, one human doing the job of an agent that should already exist. I built Merchwing to fix that. It watches your Amazon, Shopify, and eBay listings around the clock, rewrites for SEO, queues reorders, and reports which keywords drove your Buy Box.

  @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.

  @ZachCollectCo @BestPokemonDeal This is not theft - Pokémon is handing these boxes out to distributors. If this was theft or anything other than Pokemon leaking these boxes out we would have had a statement from tpci by now. These people are not even afraid of tpci it's like they have their blessing to do it . In the past eBay shops shut down, whatnot streams shutdown, licenses lost, legal action- all for breaking street date by a few days. Nowadays there is no rules, seems like Wild West . I do think tpci is doing this intentionally. This might be their attempt to kill the set make it lose hype prior to release

  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

  I really need a backer to flip stuff on ebay lol. I had a decent thing going with buying old game controllers and refurbishing them and flipping them for profit. Thn e problem is i took the profit and bought things with it instead of continuing to buy more controllers lol

  @Roaringalpaca4 @ryancohen Vote to dilute the shareholders to buy ebay, but uses that to pay down debt instead! Why not pay all GameStop debt down before the two billion buyback? People will get rekt... but it's only temporary crash until the buy backs!

  @4buttonsoul In all fairness, tracking down specific DVDs can be a NIGHTMARE especially if you don't wanna pay stupid prices on ebay or something. It took me like, 6 months to put together the scooby doo renaissance quadrilogy.

  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.

  @OffDaHook35 Sorry this jerk was such an *******! I’m a $5 card buyer and literally the only complaint I have ever leveled towards a seller was over a broken Upper Deck PowerDeck disc that was delivered pwe and machined. But I know a lot of people on eBay are pedantic ********. That sucks
