  I really do have an issue when you buy an item off EBAY and the seller has "lost the item". Like really? Just seems like an opportunity to relist in the future for more money to me.

  @evan12286 @jake2b Damn, so picture this at the water cooler: some dude on X is freaking out that GameStop shareholders would never vote to take the company private because of all the dilution and those mythical naked shorts. Then another guy fires back, “Bro, only the *registered* shares get to vote. If your broker was just handing out IOUs instead of actual stock, that’s *their* problem—not GameStop’s. The real owners will just rubber-stamp the private deal.” You’re over there nodding like, “Yeah, that tracks. It’s basically voter ID for stocks. Show up with the real certificate or sit down.” And then the boring-but-true legal reality drops: the company literally only looks at its own official list. Street-name shares get to whisper their votes through the broker, but if the broker overpromised, the company just shrugs and counts what’s on the books. Delaware law basically says “not our circus.” Meanwhile the stock just got diluted by a $1.4 billion debt-for-equity swap yesterday and everyone’s still arguing about eBay, so the whole “take it private” thing is pure speculative chaos… but the “only real shares vote” part? Straight-up common sense dressed in a suit.

  @mechaJasonj @Walrus_Moonboy I wish someone would step up and start prosecuting all the fake collectibles on eBay. It’s been an issue for years and years from video games, to sports cards, to TCG and it’s time that eBay and the authorities do something about it

  @PaxCybertron I wasn't too happy, either. After putting this up, I asked ChatGPT what the DHL charge usually is for a voyager and deluxe combined, and it said anywhere from $25 - $40. So, not terrible on the low end, and considerably less than what we'd pay on eBay on the high end

  @ProjectRocket42 @GoatBeardzDD His prompt: “Hey ChatGPT, explain this eBay deal like I’m ******* retarded. No, literally, I have the IQ of a shoe and need you to break it down in such a rudimentary way that it would make sense to only myself and no else, other than those with the IQ that of a dust mite..”

  @enakssor @eBay_UK @eBay I’ve joined that mate the only problem is you have wait on average 17 days after the sale for them to release your money , so then cash flow slows down and can’t replace stock your selling

  @papiermagnet The internet has ruined everything so back issues are normally £25-30 on eBay so I can’t really justify them unless I need one for an article. I have a few I picked up at shows on the cheap.

  If we take the “contamination” premise as given—that any asset GameStop touches becomes permanently suppressed because powerful market participants refuse to let GME succeed—then layering on derivatives, short sales, swaps, or other instruments could look like a self-reinforcing profit loop on paper:GME acquires a stake → the target (EBAY in this case) faces muted buying interest. Price stays below what standalone fundamentals would support. Participants short the target or buy puts, hedge via the GME linkage, and repeat the process on the next acquisition. The overhang and narrative keep the cycle going. That is the logic of the “infinite money glitch” under those assumptions.

  A $500,000 check written in 2004 turned into more than a billion dollars by 2012. The same man watched his own hedge fund fall from $7 billion to about $350 million. His name is Peter Thiel. He is 58. He co-founded PayPal in 1998 and sold it to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Two years later he became the first outside investor in Facebook, taking 10.2 percent for half a million dollars. Then Clarium Capital, his global macro fund, peaked above $8 billion in 2008 and posted three straight losing years. Investors who stayed lost 65 percent from the peak. By 2011 the fund held roughly $350 million. So the man teaching you how to think about competition has been on both sides of being wrong in public. The framework fits on a napkin. Perfect competition destroys profit, so build the thing nobody else can offer. Start with a market small enough to dominate, then widen. Look for proprietary technology ten times better than the alternative, network effects, scale economics, and a brand people ask for by name. Value the last mover, not the first. "Competition is for losers." That is the title he put on a Wall Street Journal essay in September 2014, adapted from the book he wrote out of a Stanford class he taught in 2012. A student named Blake Masters posted his notes from that class online for free, and the notes went viral before the book existed. at the board it's simple. one company sold for $1.5 billion, one check compounded two thousand times, one fund down ninety-five percent from peak assets. the same brain produced all three. no magic. concentration into an idea almost nobody shares, held long enough to be measured. here is where it lines up with every founder reading this. you already know your product is a slightly better version of something people already buy. you will still call the crowded market validation, raise on comparables, and describe five competitors as proof of demand in the same deck where you claim to be different. the class notes are free. the essay is free. this talk is free. what nobody can sell you is the willingness to answer his actual question in writing: what important truth do very few people agree with you on. That willingness is the edge, and it costs an honest page, not another pitch deck.

  @pipkinpippa Could you look for the part on Ebay or something & then negotiate on the labor cost with the repair guy? I'd wager it's sourcing the part that's the problem...

  @BravesStash problem is people on this app see prospects like currency....well we have prospects x y and z...and they are ranked 1, 2, 3... so we could have beaten the offer made by the other team if our GM just wanted too... when that is not how this normally works... it's not an auction or Ebay...where everyone sees what the current bid is and can out bid it...that might be more fun for fans....but would be murder on prospects who see their names being tossed around knowing they are fixing to have to move... we don't know who or what other teams asked for...and we never will (except the one they accepted).... it's not always the same level of prospect or position...teams are often looking to fill needs not looking at some arbitrary rankings list to decide who to get or if some offer of prospects they don't want or need is "worth more" than the other offer of prospects they might want or need....these teams have entire scouting departments who develop their own rankings of players from each team...

  He’s smart, like a genius, why would he be selling pics in a universe that nano tech and 3d printers to fix his suit is a thing? I’m sure he just sell 3D printed stuff on ebay and maybe some coding freelancer!

  The leaked Coca Cola formula For more than 140 years, Coca Cola has claimed its secret recipe has been locked away inside a secure vault in Atlanta. But historian Mark Pendergrast says he uncovered what could be the original 1886 formula created by pharmacist John Pemberton. According to Pendergrast, the handwritten recipe was passed down through the family of Frank Robinson the man who named Coca Cola and designed its iconic script. The story gets even more interesting. After a bitter dispute with Pemberton, Robinson allegedly made his own copy of the formula, hoping to sell it to another buyer. Decades later, the document became the center of a divorce battle before eventually ending up in the historian’s hands. Another alleged Coca Cola formula later surfaced on eBay with a $5 million asking price. The leaked formula: For 36 Gallons 216 lbs of sugar 18 gallons of water 29 oz of lime juice 29 oz of citric acid 18 oz caffeine 29 oz flavouring 3 quarts of colouring 15 quarts [fluid extract] coca Coca Cola flavouring 1 1/2 quarts of alcohol 12 oz [fluid extract] nutmegs 19 oz extract of vanilla 13 d [illegible “drops”?] oil lemon 10 d oil cinnamon 12 d oil nutmeg 12 d oil coriander 12 d oil neroli One of the most surprising details is that early Coca Cola reportedly contained traces of *******, which historians say were removed around 1903. Coca Cola rejected the claims, saying that many have tried to uncover the secret recipe, but the real formula remains safely locked away in its Atlanta vault. So was the leaked formula the real thing or does Coca Cola’s greatest secret remain untold?
