  When @MikeJY1984 acknowledges a problem in the @veefriends world people tend to listen. I’m glad he’s talking about this and not afraid to speak up and break the “sacred veil of positivity” that prevents certain fanatics from ever expressing obvious constructive criticism about the brand. VF breaks are a form of gambling. Last year the Chrome breaks were better weighted in favor of the buyer. This year the sellers are slaughtering the buyers with these 200 character breaks that statistically can’t consistently deliver enough hits to make it anywhere near comparable to the win rates from last year. Everyone is responsible for staying informed and being safe. But it helps to have more kind hearted people warning newcomers to this VeeFriends community that among all the fun and Love there are these not so clear financial pitfall that can destroy people who are too excited with not enough knowledge of the odds and too little caution in general. I’m never going to tear down the company that houses my own bags. That’s not what this is. We don’t express this feedback to be negative Nancies. We talk about it because it’s the right thing to do. Constructive feedback helps everyone in the long term, the brand included. A lot of you shrugged me saying how much better of an idea it is to buy your cards on eBay where they are going for cheaper for the hit you want than you’re paying for the entire break spot with a chance of nothing. I think Mike is a bit more well liked and well respected in this community than I am. Now that he’s echoing what I have BEEN saying, can we start to talk about how it’s a real issue? And start advising each other of best practices?

  @catarinaaba @DouglasWei43233 @USPS Unfortunately usps is the nost reliable mail service in the sense of getting your package from a to b in a timeley manner and without it being tampered with, but they have terrible customer service and if you dont know exactly what youre doing it is a nightmare to get any service from them. I sell on Ebay and i dont even wait in line at the usps because i know how to prepay and print all of my own labels and i just drop my packages off at the package drop off while the normies in line stare at me all pissed off because i know how the usps works and they dont.

  @analogalok I’m currently reading the llamacpp GitHub. Trying to learn some of the flags. Hopefully I can try a few tonight after work. The server and gpu are all used off eBay. Thankfully I had 128gb ram to use. But everything was about a grand for each component. I thought when I bought it, I could run one large moa via my hermes, and several subagents. But without a special custom made nvlink for the v100’s, I don’t think that’s a viable option how I thought. So the new plan will be to use what fits per card, and each model will get a dedicated gpu. If I can find a nvlink to atleast couple two cards, I will try again combining cards. But the speed was unusable slow in my testing. Took over an hour for one prompt completion of a basic task with 3-4 moa at 256k. I ran qwen3.6:35bq8, qwen3.6:35ba38q8, qwen3.6:27bq8, as well as gemma4:12bq8 and gemma4:31bq8. I tried bf16 variants as well. My origional goal was to have a large moa, then several subs. After receiving the hardware, I ran into limitations on speed instantly

  @staypredictable So, gme holders have 1 gme, ebay 2.84. For every current 1 gme share, there will be 3.84 after merger. 1/3.84=.26, meaning your ownership of gme is now 26% what it used to be. Debt isnt free, and overleveraging where ev >> mc will slam the price down

  @JeremyMVisser This is actually horrendous. All cheap plastic jackets , the fit will be terrible and quite lacking. Using eBay will get you much further. I would strongly discourage buying Amazon clothes, like a jacket for $50 that is alpha sizing. Waste of money.

  @meacouk & @meacouk_Cs does need to do something about scalpers as they're posting on x about buying air con units and reselling on eBay for £400+ profit. We need one of the units for my wife's heart issue as the heat makes it worse. But can't get one for scalpers!

  A company with 30 employees made $1 billion a year. Not Google. Not Facebook. Craigslist. At its peak, revenue per employee was 10-20x Google's. The founder did everything "wrong": rejected billions from VCs, ran zero ads, and demoted himself to customer support. Then within 6 years, revenue crashed 70%+. Here’s the real story. • Started as a simple email list in 1995 by Craig Newmark, an IBM programmer. • Friends asked to post jobs and rentals. He built a bare-bones website — intentionally ugly, like a community bulletin board. • Zero marketing spend. Network effects did all the work. • In 1999, he made it a for-profit company but kept 99% free. Charged only for some job posts in a few cities. • In 2000, he stepped down as CEO to become a customer service rep. He didn't like managing people. • The result: ~30 employees, ~$1B annual revenue (reportedly, around 2018). For comparison, Google's per-employee revenue was ~$1.2M; Facebook's ~$1.6M. Craigslist's was $20-35M. • They rejected every opportunity to make more money. Every niche they dominated was later turned into a billion-dollar company by someone else: • Jobs → LinkedIn • Housing → Zillow • Goods → eBay, Facebook Marketplace • Then crises hit: • 2004: eBay bought 30% of Craigslist without founders' consent. Legal battle followed. Craigslist converted to an LLC to avoid shareholder profit demands. • 2009: "Craigslist killer" — a medical student used the site to commit murder. The adult services section, worth $36M/year, was shut down. • Mobile revolution: Craigslist stayed ugly and desktop-only. Facebook Marketplace launched in 2016, fully mobile, with real names. It surpassed 1 billion users by 2021. • Revenue reportedly dropped from ~$1B (2018) to ~$300M (2023). A 70% decline. The irony? The same principles that built Craigslist killed it: • 99% free → no money to modernize • No investment → no strategic pivot • Anti-commercial → picked apart by specialists Craig Newmark today lives in an apartment, owns no car, keeps pigeons. He's donated over $500M to journalism — the very industry his site helped destroy. This isn't a story of failure. It's a story of choices. You can live by your values and be comfortable. But markets don't wait. Craigslist's decline was a choice. Takeaway: If you don't evolve, you get eaten. Security and growth rarely coexist. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #Craigslist #BusinessLessons

  @JaidenEditz @PlayStation @Sony This is a terrible deal, you should have either sold it on eBay or hung into it for retro value down the road. They are laughing to the bank

  @Melody80642471 @ACTBrigitte Yup, very true. I had a rare case of getting someone who was clearly an American who spoke proper English, actually gave a **** & was able to fix my issues in like 3 minutes when I had to call eBay customer service a little while back—which was a very pleasant surprise & got me to use them more often now, to support companies doing this. PS: A little tip I thought I’d pass along…if you’re calling into some customer service hotline and they give you the option to “press 1 for Español”, do it and when connected start apologizing & say you pressed the wrong button by accident. Chances are the person you’ll get will speak English much better than the “English” operator who is some bozo in Calcutta.

  @pedr_____0___m @LogicSnse @stupidtechtakes I’d rather be shot than use an Ideapad ever again. The build quality on these are absolutely terrible. Don’t ask how many of these I’ve seen with busted hinges. Also, eBay probably isn’t the best metric to be using here.

  @staypredictable The main issue is price being range bound for the longest time, and doesn’t seem to appreciate despite great news and market being ATH overall. Look at RC telegraphing his intentions about EBay. He even mentioned recently shorts are creating FUD, then why not publicly fight them

  @BullishlyFree @Hey_ross @gamestop The “dilution” you’re referring too will allow GameStop to issue shares as part of the deal for eBay & other acquisitions If you want GME and Ryan to succeed, why are you promoting the “dilution” narrative?
