  @HagaEme @cryaboutitboy The point is to not purchase anything that will put money in Sony playstation's pocket. People are purchasing second hand games from ebay and such. And showing no PSN activity by disconnecting from the internet to show the scope of players participating in the outage. More or less.

  @CGC_SI @tohardtoocall Some lucky guy beat me to a newstand issue for $10 about a month ago on eBay. From the photos it looked like a solid 8, maybe better.

  @kingpindegen I mean they kind of care. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be taking down eBay listings

  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.

  @AcmePacks @eBay Agreed! also, when you have the app minimized in the background on your phone and you’re not touching it and then you reopen it and somehow it pops up with some live feeds you never clicked on or tried to watch. It’s terrible. 🤮🤮

  @PokeFreezeNotif Talked to eBay today, no further actions will be taken. They just took down my card and ask not to repost it.

  Ann Makosinski was 15 when a friend in the Philippines told her she had failed a year of school. Her family could not afford electricity, so there was no light to study by after dark, and the daylight hours were not enough. Makosinski, in Victoria, British Columbia, had been playing with Peltier tiles since a grade seven science project. A Peltier tile makes electricity when one face is hot and the other is cold. She ran the numbers on the heat coming off a human palm and found there was more than enough. Then the problem. The tiles gave plenty of power and almost no voltage, nowhere near what an LED needs. She bought more on eBay, redesigned the circuit, and put transformers in to lift the voltage into range. The body of the flashlight is a hollow aluminium tube. Your hand warms the outside of the tiles. Air moving through the middle keeps the inside cool. The gap between those two temperatures is the entire power supply, and it holds a steady beam for about twenty minutes. No batteries. No charging. No sunlight required, so it works at night in a house with no grid connection, which was the whole point. She won her category at the Google Science Fair in 2013 and went on to build a mug that harvests the waste heat of a cooling drink to charge a phone. A flashlight is a solved problem, unless the thing you cannot get hold of is a battery. Her friend needed light after sunset and had a working pair of hands the whole time.

  @LostSchemes The real issue is the folks that throw together half-assed diecasts as fast as they can to load eBay up with Cleetus McFarland 1/64’s. I think folks that aren’t as egregious will be fine.

  Between obtaining pack odds and developing a mathematically-sound calculation method, this project probably required 250+ hours over the past few years. Scraping through hundreds of eBay listings hoping for a clear picture of pack odds, progressing frame by frame through 15 year old YouTube videos trying to get a glimpse of odds during a rip, and incessantly pestering eBay sellers to provide more photos have resulted in the graph shown above. It's my pleasure to now share the results of my degeneracy with you all. To compute each print run, I solved a set of linear equations that used pack odds from n serial-numbered cards in n different pack formats (the number n was usually 6). Doing this allowed me to compute the total number of cards produced in each format for a certain set, which I then multiplied by the percentage of base cards present in each format. After summing these n base card quantities from each format, I divided by the set size to obtain the print run per base card in each set. Assumptions made when performing these calculations: 1.⁠That the odds Topps provided were factually correct. If there are three gold bordered cards in every seven packs, Topps will express this is as 1:2 odds, not 3:7. Therefore, the odds provided by Topps had to be considered accurate. 2.⁠All numbered cards were placed in packs. We know Topps holds some cards back as replacements, and this is sometimes reflected in the odds of very low numbered cards. For example, a manufactured relic /250 in a blaster box might have box odds of 1:10, but the odds for the /25 might be 1:120 if some of the /25 are held back. So, I had to assume all cards were actually placed in packs, and to avoid contaminating the computation, I tried to use parallels where at least a few hundred existed between all formats. 3.⁠For more recent sets, it was assumed that 90% of the cards in each pack were base. For earlier sets, it was easy to compute this percentage using the pack odds. However, as more inserts and parallels were added to sets, computing base card percentages using odds data became a full-day endeavor. I found that assuming 90% base in recent sets results in an error below 5% compared to using the odds-informed base percentage. There are a few interesting trends in these numbers. First, print runs more or less follow the patterns of the economy. If you look at a chart of the S&P 500 during these years, the number of Series 1 cards produced correlates pretty well. There was a significant drop in production between 2008 and 2009 due to the Great Recession, and there's also a dip in the mid-2010s when economic growth in the country slowed. However, this trend is thrown out the window with COVID. 2020 Series 1 had already released by the time that the country entered a quarantine, and Series 2 was already in production when this occurred. Therefore, the first shift we see to reflect increasing demand is in 2020 Update. The print run of 2020 Update was higher than any other set Topps had produced since 2001. In the previous few years, Series 2 and Update were printed in approximately half the quantity of Series 1. However, in 2020, we saw Update Series reach an unprecedented print run and, for the first time, exceed the print run of its Series 1 release. Since then, production has increased significantly, as 2025 Series 1 was printed in triple the quantity of 2020 Series 1. The production distribution between Series 1, Series 2, and Update is now becoming similar to the distribution we saw in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

  @SecretService On January 9 2013, Howard County MD, Agent Scott Windish and Agent Nick Jonte and 1 More agent came from Baltimore downtown Secret Service headquarters, blackmailed us saying that we will shut down your business account if you don’t give us the money in your bank account because of 2 stolen phones we purchased from eBay without any knowledge . Agent Scott Windish then opened my car glove box and took 3k cash and took my phone on the way to Wells Fargo and we waited at the Wells Fargo waiting for the teller in line for 10 min and he made me say the teller write a 39.000 dollars cashiers check under SECRET SERVICE and after they took me to STARBUCKS and made me sign paperworks… Need our money back 39k was seized as check , 3 k cash and 15 attorney fees .
