  Let's do some napkin math. $GME currently owns ~10% exposure in eBay. Exercising to get all in stock would cost $2-3B depending on price, leaving them ~$6.5B cash after exercise. So: 10% of eBay + $6.5B cash. They also have a $20B letter for debt/equity from the same dealer manager (TD) that raised their convertibles. Add that: 10% of $EBAY, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt. They also have a little over 2 billion shares they're authorized to issue, which adds up to another $44B fully issued at today’s price. Adding that: 10% of eBay, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt, $44B in stock. Then there's another $25-50B in likely equity access from SWFs and private investors at post-money valuations. Ryan mentioned today in the Bloomberg interview he is working through an influx of inquiries, which means the deal and capital structure are also evolving. Call it $20B hybrid equity for now. Running total: 10% of eBay, $6.5B cash, $20B hybrid debt, $20B hybrid equity, $44B in stock. eBay is a $50B company with ~450M shares issued, doing TTM ~$11B in revenue with around TTM ~$1.9B of net income. GameStop is a $10B company with ~450M shares issued, doing TTM ~$3.8B in revenue with around TTM ~$740M in net income. I should mention that 42.9% of existing eBay shareholders already voted against this board (Prop 4 in the recent ARS)? For a Schedule TO, he needs a minimum of 51% tendered. After that, he can buy the rest on the open market to get to 100%. It's a matter of when and not if. And when it happens, I doubt he needs to issue more than 1 billion GameStop shares, given all the other capital lined up. That leaves a combined entity with 1.5B total shares outstanding and a $60B market cap post-transaction. $60B ÷ 1.5B shares = $40 a share. I don't care how much cash or debt is on the balance sheet, it's a $60B market cap company with 1.5B shares. That's $40. More shares, lower price. Fewer shares, higher price. GameStop is trading at $22 right now. When the stock is at $40 warrants will be worth around $10-12 depending on when* the deal goes through. Warrant expiry can be extended and strike can be lowered. I don’t have a crystal ball but once again I must ask, what am I missing?

  @ComicDaveSmith who cares man I knew this administration was cooked when I still can’t use ebay or PayPal because I didn’t get vaccinated there’s no real push to make anyone right who was wronged It’s just you vs the world and it’s always that way can’t control these ******* in power and they have sold us out a very long time ago and they don’t know what to do to actually fix it is more and more people become sicker each day from the food and culture

  @CardsMax Not everything can be worth something. You bought some 2024 Topps chrome all etch Ohtani off me on eBay by happenstance. When throwaway inserts like that for Ohtani are worth more than rookie autos we’re in trouble. If everything is worth something, then it’s all worth nothing

  @iRue399 GameStop is a terrible place to shop for games, that's the funny part. plenty of people rather buy physical games from offer up, ebay or other places.

  @EagleZeroX Mid 2k Boomer convertibles and coupes for $10 - 15k out there. But yeah bushings going to be rotted out on that era. Jags with timing chain/cooling issues to fix from ebay parts... Leaf is a good hacker platform though and pretty cheap way to get off the oil-pipe.

  @yosutebitoo I found the model on eBay, but I wasn't able to compare prices because the site seems to be down. I only found one for $250, but that price is likely inflated.

  Thanks @PlayStation. I guess it was all meant to be after all. I bought my first PS5 in July of 2023. Mere months after I had purchased this, you announced the Spider-Man 2 PS5 and PS5 Slim Models. I was sad that I’d missed out on that Spider-Man console. In 2024 I had to sell that PS5 when I lost my job. On July 1st, you made the announcement that you were discontinuing the production of physical games in 2028. That same day, I bought this used PS5 Standard on eBay. This included the standard white PS5, controller, Spider-Man 2 console plates, and the boxes for everything. About a week later I purchased a sealed Spider-Man 2 PS5 controller to complete the set. If you hadn’t made this announcement, I would’ve likely waited for a PS6. So thank you for making such a terrible announcement. Ensuring that this will be my last PlayStation console and that console was the one I missed out on the first go around.

  45 minutes down and any seller who only sees their numbers inside eBay was flying blind. I keep my own copy of pricing and stock for exactly this reason.

  @FieldNas Ebay thinkpads are about 150-200 bucks with 16GB ram. just needs a 2tb ssd. and maybe could be had cheaper if they have broken screen ones. Laptop is a good option because they have a battery built in, they are compact and can be mounted to a wall or underside of a table.

  This is a good conversation and I'll chime in my opinions on Klarna and mystery packs. I think there's a conversation worth having about eBay adding Klarna as a payment option. The biggest issue isn't Klarna itself.... it's that a lot of people don't realize how quickly those payments add up, especially when they're making a bunch of smaller purchases. As for mystery packs and mystery slabs, I think a lot of them are genuinely predatory. We've seen major companies promote huge chase cards, only for it to come out that they weren't even in circulation yet.... or, in MJ Holding's case, not actually include the advertised chases at all. At least when I buy a Pokémon booster pack, I know I have a legitimate chance of pulling the chase. With mystery products, you're relying entirely on the seller's honesty, and in my experience, that's a risky bet. The reality is that a lot of newcomers don't know any better, and too many people take advantage of that. People always say, "It's the customer's responsibility to do their research," but someone brand new to the hobby doesn't know what they don't know. Those MJ Holding mystery products get bought by uninformed parents and grandparents all the time. Then you have creators selling $0.50 bulk in TAG slabs and convincing their audience they got a great deal paying $35 for a TAG 9 Japanese Amoonguss ex or a TAG 8 Slakoth common from EX Sandstorm. That's the kind of thing that hurts new collectors the most without them actually knowing.

  after reading this it clicked for me why Ryan Cohen was wanting to speak with eBay sellers. $eBay today is just coasting on cruise control under a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” model and it’s paying the management fat compensation while shareholders are left with missing upside on their investment. there is no incentive to better the business or disrupt the status quo and this is how you end up with ideas like an on-site pub with free alcohol for employees. this is a great example of how Ryan is always thinking many steps ahead. sellers aren’t voting on a merger but without them, there is no eBay marketplace. they are the lifeblood and eBay management today is neglecting them because they know there is nowhere else for them to go. now I get why he keeps saying he wants to “run it like a family business.”
