  Vin’s Card Depot (@VinsCardDepot) reported 3 minutes ago

  eBay standard envelope has been a real hit or miss over the last few weeks both as a seller and buyer…. Anyone else seem to be having some issues with getting scans or delivery updates??

  @WilliamT268238 @TeddyRJ741 What news? If it came that it bought eBay, price world go down. If it came that the deal is 100% off, the price would go down. The only thing that would raise the price is if GameStop fired Ryan Cohen, and made a statement saying they would never dilute the shareholders again.

  @CardsEnzo I lived and died by the eBay $0.99 7day auction even in the down market. But in the last ~12 months, the norm is sales well below comps, even on liquid cards / hot players. I’m all BIN OBO these days.

  @MK5Cards I’m wondering when they’re gonna open back up, it’s kind of a bummer. I’ve had issues getting distribution as well, I’m basically **** out of luck for getting anything retail value. I’ve gotta buy in bulk from other eBay distributors and see if I can manage to make money on it is basically how it’s going to work for the next year or so. Nobody will sell or distribute to anyone unless you have an actual store front. I can’t afford to buy a brick and mortar storefront right now, who can afford that kind of overhead lol.

  BEFORE THE POP (@beforethepop) reported 14 minutes ago

  Alpha: Buy We spent hours pulling apart the 1999 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Carddass set. It passes nearly every test I have. It’s old. It’s Japanese. Zelda was a monster IP then and it still is now. Link is one of the defining characters in gaming. There’s a real chase: 42 cards, but only six holographic prisms. And almost nobody seems to care about them. That’s the bit I’m interested in. Because when we started checking the PSA populations, things got stupid. The high-grade pops are tiny. Some of the prism chases have no PSA 10 at all. Link #5 and Ganondorf currently have zero. Then we went looking for the supply that could prove the pops meaningless. Clean raw prisms? Barely anything. Old sealed product? Even stranger. These were sold through Carddass vending machines in Japan. Four cards together, held by basically a strip of paper. No modern foil pack. No tamper-proof seal. You can inspect the cards. So I’m not looking at 27-year-old banded stacks and assuming there’s a giant untouched supply of mint prisms hiding in them. Then there’s the one obvious fail. These are not Link rookie cards. Link had already been around for more than a decade. But they are first-era Ocarina of Time cards, released in 1999 immediately after the 1998 game. And if you’re going to fail the rookie test, being tied to Ocarina of Time is a decent consolation prize. It still sits at the very top of the all-time review tables, and Nintendo is bringing it back again in 2026. So we started trying to buy the chase. This is where the whole thing became comedy. One of the only Link #5 PSA 9s was sitting at US$880. We negotiated. Seller eventually decided he wasn’t selling. His message: “I’m actually going to take the card down, and wait till after the remake releases.” Listing gone. Great. Then almost immediately my phone goes off. eBay alert. Jump Attack PSA 9. The other card we’d been stalking had just dropped from £475.79 to £258.92. 45.6% off. About US$350. After spending hours watching a market with basically no supply refuse to give us anything, one of the cards we wanted had just been cut almost in half. We bought it. Then kept going. Heritage bids rejected. Offers flying around. PSA populations open in one tab. Japanese raw cards in another. Eventually we also picked up Ganondorf in PSA 8, because there isn’t even a PSA 10 to wait for. That’s the bet. Not “Zelda is popular.” First Ocarina of Time era. Six-card prism chase. Japanese vending distribution. Almost no mint raw supply we could find. Brutally low high-grade populations. Parts of the chase with zero PSA 10s. One of the biggest gaming IPs on earth, then and now. And a market that still feels half asleep. It fails the Link rookie test. Everything else got very hard to ignore. Alpha: Buy.

  @teh_Gazzy The plastic in those things just breaks down over an unacceptably short time but you can buy replacement caps for the joystick from eBay for under ten bucks and disassembling the 3DS to replace it isn't really that hard.

  @Cheesehead715 @sairahul1 @grok So does my openclaw model agnostic agent using developed skill. Though I use 3td party service for API content push then fix little things via browser skill. The command is "sell on eBay" followed by photos and short qty and condition description.

  Love hearing @eBay reps talk themselves into a corner while they refuse to help with fee issues. Done with them.

  @GoatBeardzDD @jackAskingQs I rarely go long GME options, if I do its random lottos. How I like to accumulate is simply buying every week or month and then when we go through the volatile cycles, swaps or big news then I look to sell calls against my shares. Last time I did this was the ebay merger news and price ripped up. Sold some calls and waited.. stock falls back down and I use the premium to buy more shares. In my experience when I have every emotion in my body telling me to full send my account on $GME calls (like what I feel right now) - is exactly when I need to clear my head and step back. We are playing a game of emotions against the market makers and players on the other end of this trade. Currently I am looking into building some long calls here which for me would be Jan 2027 and beyond but still for me this would be with money that I look at as risk capital. I have a meaningful position in shares so if the calls go to 0 I dont care. Just me though not advice obviously. My sell button is broke for the stock. Warrants are interesting. Personally I sold all of mine because I am not sure whats going to happen. Another strategy I will put on is selling a put where I am happy owning the stock and then using premium for shares or to pay for a call (if I see fit).

  I chose this hobby and I know it’s common, but god do these people piss me off. Heaven forbid a fan actually got this instead of someone selling a *pre-order* variant on eBay. The issue doesn’t even come out until next month.

  @GilliverJamie Yes that’s the one, if you click bids you can see eBay keep removing fake bids so the price is constantly up and down it’s a mess

  @SheboggyBlues EBAY remains buyer beware and the fees and taxes have ruined the collector market. China counterfeits still a big problem
