Sabrius (@Sabrius) reportedI'm an electrical contractor. So maybe I can speak here a little. Very often pricing is a mafia structure between very few vendors. Here in Florida, lighting is ridiculous. For the same build-out, I will get a $23k lighting quote as "alternatives to spec" that are legit the same products, just a different brand, and the spec'ed lights will get quoted at $64k. Now for your breaker. I personally will not buy a breaker from Amazon or eBay. This is personal. There's likely no issue, but I will pay 3x more through my vendors due to relationships with them, trust with them, certain guarantees through them. Yes, this will get passed onto the customer, but generally 3 phase bigger breakers like this control things that cost money each time they're shut down or require scheduling to shut down. Imagine if I send an employee into a... Grocery store..or something overnight since they can't shut down during the day. My Amazon/eBay breaker fails during this overnight shut down. Now I'm just the cheap *** contractor trusting Amazon and eBay to save a couple hundred $, that now costed me thousands and will require another shut down, logistics etc etc. It sucks, sorry you had to deal with this. My hyperbolic story isn't always true, but I've ran into your breaker price range a few times and usually.. it's the electrical wholesale mafia setting the price because they know we'll pay for it.

Laura G (@LaurasMiscMovie) reported@margoz_1949 It's really annoying, isn't it? We have the same problems with Disneyland, I get aggravated when I see someone leaving the park with tons of limited time popcorn buckets or etc., because you know that person is going home and putting them on eBay!

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reportedDown 65% in 5 years, proposing a $35b comp plan. eBay up 65% in 5 years and have taken $500m — he is criticizing this. Basically, if GME makes back RC’s last 5 years of losses, and then gains like 100% on top of that, over 10 years, he will make $35b. GME holders will get a 6% annual return over 15 years. It’s okay to be mad at this. @ryancohen

Robbie (@RobbieV1988104) reported@thwacknicklaus This club thwarted my free golf in college. Had a course where you paid $1 and wrote your name down if you’re a member. I’d pay the buck and write down my friend’s name who had a membership. Bought this driver off eBay and roped one down the first fairway - too much attention.

…. (@allthingsnone) reported@burntpnutclips @TCGPokePlug @eBay Yeah I sell a lot on eBay it’s not terrible … more hate towards the vendors who wanna give 80 the turn around and sell for 100% to the next guy. Depends on the card obviously

Caribbean Bacchanal (@EL_Skunto_44) reported@PokeCardsDaily They should’ve put the inner sleeve upside down so the tape doesn’t damage the card I had this same thing happen to me more than a couple times from eBay sellers

masYNYa (@KijAkubovs86334) reported🚨 4 OLD GTX 1080s FROM A DEAD MINING RIG NOW RUN LOCAL AI AND BEAT $400/MO IN SUBSCRIPTIONS 💀 Same cards. Same VRAM. New job. Pause at 0:10. Look at the terminal. "GPU #0: EVGA GTX 1080, 53.54 MH/s." "accepted: 902/937." "Stratum difficulty set to 44.1414." Bottom right corner: "11/23/2017." That is not an AI log. That is an Ethereum mining log from November 2017. Each one of those cards was a printer for ETH. Then Ethereum killed proof-of-work in 2022 and 50 million GPUs went into a closet. The same hardware now runs the second wave: → 4 used GTX 1080s off eBay, ~$100 each → Total stack: ~$400 → 8 GB of VRAM per card → Spread a model across them: 32 GB of usable memory → One desktop tower, one PSU, one shell command The install: → ollama install — one line → ollama pull qwen2.5 / mistral 7b / llama 3.2 / phi 3 — one line each → One environment variable to point Claude Code at localhost → Same CLI. Nothing flies to Anthropic. The performance on a 4 × 1080 stack: → 7B models: 80–120 tok/s, comfortable for chat and agents → 13B–30B with layer splitting: 40–60 tok/s, fine for real conversations → Token logs sit on the same SSD as the model → Zero cloud calls. Zero per-token bills. The math he just deleted: → ChatGPT Pro: $200/month → Claude Code Max: $200/month → Cursor: $20/month → Annual: $5,040 → The rig: $400 once → Payback: under two months → Year-two delta: thousands. Electricity only after that. The old loop is dead. Sign up. Pay $5K a year. Watch every prompt ship to someone else's server. Hit rate limits on the worst possible afternoon. Now the rig is a closet appliance that used to mine ETH and now writes code. Here's what nobody in the AI subscription space is saying out loud: The mining boom subsidized a decade of cheap consumer VRAM. Miners paid full retail. They burned a billion in electricity. They dumped the cards on eBay at one-fifth of new-price the moment proof-of-work died. You are now buying that hardware at the loss the miners ate — to run the workload the cloud is renting back to you for $5,000 a year. Most people are still arguing whether local AI is "ready." Meanwhile, the same cards that mined ETH at 5am in 2017 are writing their owner's code at 5am in 2026. Bookmark this. The race for cheap AI just left the new-product shelf. Literally.

EverydayReseller (@EverydayResell) reportedA lot of new people here, this one’s for you. 🚨How to stop losing money to eBay return scammers. They buy your clean, working item… then ship back a broken piece of junk & demand a full refund. I recently learned this $7.49 trick & it’s an absolute game changer: Grab a cheap UV security pen (the exact one I use from amazon is in the photo). Before you ship, write a unique personal code or mark in a hidden spot on the item. It’s completely invisible to the naked eye, but lights up under any blacklight. When the return comes back, just shine the light. No matching mark? That’s not your original item. Upload the before/after UV photos in your eBay case and watch your win rate skyrocket. 🚀 Pro tip: Make the code truly unique, your own handwriting style, a random symbol only you make. Something scammers can’t duplicate even if they know the method. Resellers: add this to your process TODAY. It will save you hundreds (or thousands) in the long run. Who’s trying this? Let me know in the comments if you’re adding UV marking to your process. Also, would love to hear your best return scam stories below! Happy selling! Let's grow!

Aisza_ (@ohtinybaby) reported@Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔
