  @RedPandaMining What did I miss, are 3070's suddenly worth a lot? I took mine down from eBay a couple of months ago since no one would buy at what I thought was too cheap.

  YOU WON: your auction estimate was probably the biggest error Yale applauded a student who paid $5 for $2.07 in coins. After learning why that happened, the next winner still paid $1.60 for $1.48. 9:20 real-cash jar auction begins 15:35 $5 bid meets $2.07 in coins 24:51 why winning oil firms kept losing money 40:38 class repeats the mistake after the lesson 56:30 eBay rule that makes honest bidding dominant Ben Polak runs the experiment inside Yale's Game Theory Lecture 24, Asymmetric Information: Auctions and the Winner's Curse. The 62-minute class is free and public through Open Yale Courses. The mechanism is brutal: every bidder observes true value plus some error. The winner is not necessarily the best analyst. It is often the person with the largest positive error. That is why adding bidders can make the winning price less informative. Competition selects the most optimistic estimate, then makes optimism look like conviction. Before bidding on an acquisition, hire, ad placement, or contract, ask: if this offer wins, what must everyone else believe that I do not? Then reprice the deal under that condition. Cut the forecast, add integration and fulfillment cost, and set the walk-away price before the room gets competitive. Winning only proves your bid was highest. Polak's jar shows why it may also prove your estimate was worst.

  A hedge fund manager who's averaged over 20% a year for two decades gave away his entire strategy on a video call with one classroom. He did it for free. Almost nobody outside that room has seen it since. His name is Seth Klarman. He runs The Baupost Group out of Boston. He wrote "Margin of Safety" once, in 1991, then let it go out of print. Copies now resell for $1,400 on eBay - more than a plane ticket. The call happened in March 2009, in the middle of the worst crash since 1929. It was arranged by a professor at the Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing. No stage, no slides. Just a video conference and thirty MBA students taking notes by hand while the market outside was in free fall. His framework fits in three rules. Focus on risk before return. Risk is not beta. Risk is the size of what you could lose, multiplied by how likely you are to lose it. Ignore relative performance. Losing eighteen percent while the market loses twenty is not a win. Most funds only chase the index because that's how they get paid. He cared about not losing money, period. Work bottom up, never top down. Nobody predicts the macro economy reliably. Stop trying. Go analyze one company at a time. "At Baupost, we are big fans of fear, and in investing, it is clearly better to be scared than sorry." He told the room his fund walked into 2008 holding thirty-five percent cash. Not because he predicted the crash. Because he couldn't find enough bargains, and cash was the only asset left with a real margin of safety. Top MBA programs charge over $150,000 to teach a fraction of these three rules, one semester at a time. Klarman gave them away for free, to thirty students who happened to sign up for one elective. That was seventeen years ago. Most people managing other people's money today have still never seen it. He closed with one line worth more than the rest of the lecture combined. "The period with the highest return going forward is always the worst period of return looking backward."

  @TonyClimate @eBay You might have to start a small claims case to get their attention and then make a post about it and link them in your comments so they see it. All those companies are terrible when it comes to customer support.

  @DeanAndrew21454 @ryancohen eBay turned down the offer calling it not credible. My guess is options are printing. GameStop is a fully operational hedge fund you know. And you know who GameStop hired? The goddamn best

  @TheMagnifishit @DOMOCAPITAL Ha, yes we will! So I think it comes down to: $2B buybacks = 1.25x accretion per share eBay deal = ? Again they could do both, but after exercising their eBay position, they have roughly ~$4.5B left in cash and equivalents plus whatever they generated in Q2. So it’s not a lot given the grand scale of the eBay bid. But external debt and equity raises could change that consideration as well. Let’s see what happens.

  @riprap1 @Leejay1963 Good to know, I see so much old gear on Vinted and eBay but I think to myself if you think the age of these radios many of them unless they've been recently serviced are fast coming towards the end of their lives with components starting to break down and PA stages gradually creaking so I am wondering really if they're a great investment unless of course you're after some sort of a restoration project.

  @Nebraskangooner @eBay If you have all the necessary evidence, which it seems like you do then there won't be any issues getting all your money back

  @TonyClimate @eBay Did the seller do something wrong to you? You haven’t said why you want to contact the seller. If they sold you a crap product & you feel scammed, contact your cc company and dispute the charge. That said, a reputable seller wouldn’t shut down like this. Sketchy but not illegal

  @dkmitc Isn't there a new foldable screen phone coming out? Also you can either change the battery or pay someone to change the battery. My iPhone succession: 4, 5, 7, 14, 17. The seven was almost unable before I upgraded to the 14. I only upgraded to the 17 because it literally didn’t cost me anything. batteries are so easy to replace you. Just buy the little tool kit and get them off eBay and he needs probably about a half hour 45 minutes, if you are slow.

  @JCStaxTC The selling market is down overall right now imo. I used to sell on here and do pretty well - it dropped off so I moved to eBay for more exposure. Killed it for a year and a half, but it has nosedived here lately.
