  CHINESE DEV PULLED $4,720,000 ON A MINI PC SMALLER THAN A NOVEL WHILE NVIDIA'S $8,499 RTX 5000 ADA SAT IN THE SHOP WINDOW Intel LGA1700 board. 32GB DDR5 SO-DIMM. Two Samsung PM9A1 gen 4 SSDs pulled from Dell servers for $41 each. NVIDIA Quadro T1000, 4GB VRAM, $180 on eBay. Most builders think you need a full tower for inference. She fit the whole rig into a black case the size of a hardback book. Pause at 0:02 — the Quadro T1000 laid out next to a keyboard bigger than the entire PC. The workstation moat died when used server SSDs hit $41. Full build in the video below.

  @GoldLineGambler @eBay @CardPurchaser There is another angle here. If you don’t like someone’s shipping fee don’t bid or buy from them. Thats what I do. And if someone asks why my shipping is more it’s because it’s an hour or more round trip to ship cheaply via USPS because they shut down both satellite locations.

  @WaxMetrix @eBay I don’t understand why that keeps happening. Why hasn’t eBay fixed that yet? When people hope it skips authentication because it might get damaged is a problem @eBay

  @XRPee1983 I'm, here's the problem. Count Dooku was mass produced in 2002. Rarity is what creates the value. There is nothing rare about a Count Dooku action figure even if it's sealed. It's like 14 bucks on ebay MOC.

  @DrHassdenteufel @tonysimons_ My preference for Linux hardware has been older Supermicro dual Xeon server motherboards. Even now you can get decent used stuff on eBay without sacrificing a goat.

  @StarwindZone @DHLGlobal @eBay I’ve had the same issue recently too with evri and Vinted and it’s been such a pain to deal with. Ordered an Alice in wonderland vhs over a week ago and it’s been missing from the delivery address. Had multiple convos with the seller and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it.

  "This is a way of selling" No, retard. Ebay is a way of selling. This is throwing your "product" up through an open window and demanding payment. I'd be throwing their **** back down at them. Better yet, I'd go back inside and shut the window. Now they're out their "product" and I have something to throw away in the next trash can I see.

  @Firebreather452 That split is bullshit as it's only for new games only. If you count all sales from eBay and other second hand shops not to mention private sales. Physical sales would far out way digital sales. Problem is it's impossible to track all the second hand sales of games.

  just created an agent with 3.14 seconds worth of d11a1 and the first thing it tried was searching for IBM 355 on eBay to cut itself down to 1 second

  @BlixkGod @Gumidess Well downloading some games gives you the whole game locally. In those instances, you digitally bought physical media (seeing the same is physically written in your hard drive instead of having physical permissions to enter a server) the no disk thing is really their "yellow ebay

  @natsturner @WaxMetrix @eBay Appreciate the response Nat! Know that with a contract you can’t just change things arbitrarily, but glad to have confirmation it’s being worked on. Major issue.

  @GameGPU_com Another brutally illustrative example of how Enduser licence agreements for any form of consumer grade entertainment are effectively contacts between the customer and provider enabling the former to “receive” their product upon the latter’s legally documented terms…which are unconditionally subject to change. In this instance the Purchase of any PS game on its original physical media, technically amounts to acquiring it for “an indefinite lease period”….which remains in effect for as long as the publisher is able, through “reasonable effort” and in “good faith,” to make it available. If a disc degrades to the point that its contents becomes “unplayable”, whether through routine wear & tear, mishandling, or accidental damage, then the user’s logical recourse is to request a replacement from the manufacturer, who will typically require proof of purchase before they issue one…hence in this instance, I guess we should garner reassurance from the fact that all “certified” owners will be able to continue downloading their games from Sony’s provisional “backup” archive without any handling fees…yet. Nonetheless, this shrewd “Executive” Decision is also a blatant effort to accelerate the inevitable demise of the “virtual and factual high street’s” financially injurious second hand market… As for the PS3/Vita closures, Sony evidently wishes to repossess all the “intellectual property” that gamers might otherwise have been able to grab off EBay, Amazon Marketplace or their nearest branch of Computer Exchange, thereby depriving the cooperate colossus of any “profit“. After a strategic delay, Sony will then almost certainly redistribute these titles on their later Consoles’ “subscription based” platforms….for the exclusive privilege of “premium members”. In an attempt to appease potential, this retrospective relaunch will probably coincide with the PS6’s release! Prices for “digital” versions of these games will be similar to those that “collectors and retro-rebels” would have paid for the vast majority of used and new discs from what is essentially a legacy catalogue, though the comparative mark-up is astronomical, due to server space within cloud based storage infrastructures costing a fraction of the material and operational expenses associated with mass “CD/BD-ROM” production.

  PCIFIC is also expanding beyond the marketplace itself with PCIFIC Safeguard, our browser extension. We are optimising for eBay first. The idea is simple: PCIFIC should help buyers and sellers wherever they already are. For buyers, the extension appears directly inside the eBay listing page. You do not need to open a clunky popup, copy a URL, or paste details into another tool. PCIFIC renders inside the eBay UI, near the buying decision. When you click Review with PCIFIC, the extension reviews the visible listing details, seller signals, reviews, condition claims, item description, returns information, and listing context. It then gives you a plain-English report. It can highlight things like: • Vague condition wording • Missing proof • Unclear accessories • Suspicious listing history patterns • Seller signal concerns • Product details that may confuse buyers • Questions worth asking before paying PCIFIC Safeguard is a decision-support tool. It surfaces patterns, explains risk signals, and helps buyers ask better questions before spending money. One example is listing history. Sometimes a listing can show a large number of sales, which creates trust. But if the listing was previously used for a cheaper item and later changed into an expensive device, that sold count may not mean what the buyer thinks it means. PCIFIC Safeguard looks for patterns like that and explains them clearly. The extension also gives buyers a score, a simple status such as Looks safe or Check first, and a copyable message they can send to the seller. For sellers, the extension works inside the eBay listing flow. When you are creating a listing, PCIFIC can show fee guidance directly in the UI, so you understand what eBay may take before you publish. It also adds a Review with PCIFIC button for sellers. This reviews your draft listing from a buyer’s point of view. It checks whether your title, description, condition notes, price, and trust signals make sense. For example, if your title says the item is in good condition but your description suggests heavy wear, PCIFIC can flag that. If buyers may want battery health, warranty information, proof of reset, accessory details, or clearer photos, PCIFIC can point that out before the listing goes live. The extension also saves review states between sessions. So if you reviewed a listing two days ago and come back to it later, PCIFIC remembers that. You do not need to regenerate the same review again. This matters because marketplace buying is not always instant. People compare listings, leave tabs open, come back later, message sellers, and sleep on decisions. PCIFIC Safeguard is built around how people actually shop. The bigger vision is not only eBay and not only tech. Tech is the first category because it has obvious trust problems: IMEI checks, serial numbers, battery health, device locks, specs, repairs, warranties, and hidden condition issues. But the same idea can apply to watches, trading cards, collectables, fashion, cars, and other categories where buyers need help understanding risk and trust. PCIFIC started as a UK tech marketplace. But the bigger mission is becoming clearer: PCIFIC helps people make safer, clearer marketplace decisions before money changes hands. And with tools like findr, buildr, PCIFIC Checkup, and PCIFIC Safeguard, we are not just trying to make another marketplace. We are building the tools that marketplaces should have had already. Our philosophy is simple: wherever friction exists, we look for a way to reduce it. If AI is the right tool, we use AI. If a simple button, QR code, manual review, form, verification flow, or buyer checklist solves the problem better, we use that instead. The point is not to make everything automated. The point is to make buying and selling feel easier, safer, and clearer for normal people.
