  The Traders Circle (@XTradersCircle) reported 7 seconds ago

  GameStop just attempted something almost nobody thought possible. $GME ($14B) tried to buy $EBAY ($50B+). Let that sink in. Ryan Cohen is essentially betting he can turn GameStop from a dying retailer into the backbone of online resale commerce. The pitch: • cut $2B+ in costs
• turn GameStop stores into eBay fulfillment hubs
• merge gaming, collectibles, and resale into one ecosystem On paper? It sounds insane. But that’s exactly why the market is paying attention. Because if Cohen somehow pulls this off…It completely changes the future of GameStop. The problem: •financing would be brutal •regulators would swarm it •eBay shareholders may laugh it out of the room •execution risk is enormous Which makes the REAL story this: Was this ever meant to succeed… Or was it designed to pressure eBay into changing direction?

  I don’t know if anyone else has had problems with @eBay ? I bought a gift for my niece from a shop on @eBay in January and it still hasn’t arrived and I have been asking for a refund but I still haven’t got it. It’s really frustrating and it’s been very difficult to actually get through to a human!

  @trying2holler I don't usually engage with comments like yours, but just for the fun of it, show us the path where this merger a) makes sense and b) actually gets accepted by eBay shareholders. GameStop's grand vision for eBay? Turn it into a hybrid online and in-store collectibles trading venue. GME stores become authentication and fulfillment hubs for eBay's marketplace. A video game retailer solving e-commerce's logistics problem through meme stores. I do not understand this strategy at all. It's not good for eBay, and it's not good for the tons of cash sitting on GME's balance sheet. There are issues on both the financing sides: equity issuance and debt. This is a highly levered LBO you guys are taking on. And at least for now, there isn't even enough equity issuance authorization to cover the stock portion. I have not seen the authorization increase vote put out yet. But these are just technicalities; why does this deal make sense for eBay? That's the key question. I really doubt Cohen can win a proxy fight against eBay unless he issues tons of equity to the meme crowd, raises enough cash to shake up the eBay board, and does that over a relatively long period of time. Not sure if anyone is up for that ride, but never bet against GME insanity, I guess.

  @eddiemcpigskin @eBay @ProfSportsCards I don't know much about Cohen or GameStop, but I know a little about ebay. They may be a successful company, but they're often complicit in allowing their sellers to defraud their buyers. Some of the listings they allow are downright predatory to uneducated consumers. Just run a search for Mickey Mantle Autograph, or Beatle Autograph and you'll find far more fakes that not. If he can fix that, it would be a win.

  Cohen has $9.8 billion in cash and $20 billion backed up by TD and a letter of approval. If the @eBay board of Directors denies his buyout offer it could cost the eBay shareholders $30-$40 per share, seeing that eBay may go back down into the 30 to 70 ranges.

  this is the clip Ryan Cohen was referencing in the @tbpn interview about the Montblanc pen EVERYONE needs to watch this 👇🏻 now i’m going to speak from my own perspective as someone who sell luxury used goods on eBay, how this would change everything selling luxury used goods on ebay is great but there’s so much that can be improved upon and it mainly stems from authentication issues and trust. when you sell something on there like a Louis Vuitton handbag authentication issues offered either for a fee or for free depending on if it meets a dollar amount threshold at time of sale, that’s not the problem— the problem with this is time, the seller first has to send the time to ebay after sale to have the item authenticated (which takes forever), then the item is shipped to the customer. this time deters a majority of potential sales because people want to know what they’re buying is real. this is why we have seen reputable luxury consignment businesses scaling over the last few years bc they can offer a faster turnaround time to the customer but that comes at a heavy cost to the seller usually 25-40% 😵‍💫 having the ability to do in-store authentication will not only fix that timing issue on the front end but would also drastically improve ebay’s trust issue with the consumer we know people love ebay, we know consignment services for luxury used goods is scaling, if Ryan can fix ebay’s trust issue with the consumer and create a way for sellers to sell items faster this will generate sales like ebay has never seen. this is the part of my tedtalk where i remind you that used goods sales are skyrocketing. given the current state of the world and macro economic tailwinds people are buying and selling more as way to weather the storm. gamestop at times is kinda like a **** shop offering in store credit sure but most people don’t realize they offer CASH for items on the spot. idk if that would play into ryan’s plan down the road to expand offering cash instantly for trade ins on goods besides retro gaming and collectibles but this could be another very very very lucrative piece to his vision most people are completely missing. LONG $GME LONG $EBAY LONG @ryancohen

  @marketswithmay Be serious. Which company's shareholders are going to end up owning most of the new company? The deal requires eBay shareholders to exchange their valuable shares for the paper-value GME shares Cohen has to issue in order to finance the deal. That's not GME buying eBay - it's the other way around.

  I think this is genuinely strange as a question to ask. Gamestop is buying EBay for $55bn - but it's a merger with part stock part cash payout. This is a very common occurance and it's strange the anchors were using some weird math of counting current market cap of Gamestop as if it would be given as part of the deal. Gamestock issues about $28bn of fresh stock. It has $28bn of cash plus debt. A shareholder of ebay gets Gamestock shares plus cash, equivalent to the amount per share that Gamestop is buying ebay for. Gamestop's current market cap is $11bn. It will therefore become - if you want to "math" it - $11bn+$28bn fresh issue = $38bn. And for that, what matters is the effective diluted EPS of the merged entity, which is in the GME presentation. I know he's gruff. But he's right in saying he doesn't understand the question. It's like a trick question.

  @MannyCalavera12 The Switch 2 had enormous issues. Pre-orders sold out and were then cancelled a week out from launch, literally every site selling the switch crashed on launch day and scalpers were selling pre-orders and launch day orders on Ebay. Identical launch but more embarrassing for them.

  GameStop just offered $56 billion to buy eBay. GameStop is worth $7 billion. eBay is worth $30 billion. The bid is nearly double what eBay trades for, and roughly eight times GameStop's entire market cap. No financing is attached. No bank syndicate is named. Ryan Cohen is running the same playbook that pumped Bed Bath & Beyond before it imploded: use meme-equity-inflated stock as deal currency, announce the transformative acquisition, hope the float squeezes hard enough that the math works retroactively. eBay's board has zero incentive to engage. There is no scenario where Cohen issues 8x his own float in new shares without the stock collapsing under dilution before the deal closes. For retail: when the bidder's market cap is one-quarter of the target's, the press release is the product. The deal is the bait. If you hold GME expecting "merger arbitrage," what you actually own is a covered short on Ryan Cohen's vibes.
