  @SolLunix @WatcherGuru CEO said this morning they might have to issue more shares to finance the ebay purchase so current shares holders would get diluted

  THE ONLY REASON RYAN COHEN IS BUYING EBAY IS TO UNLOCK HIS OWN BILLION DOLLAR PAY PACKAGE ? Which he will get if GME hits $2 billion EBITDA, which can only happen after he takes over eBay and transfers eBay's EBITDA to GME. Ryan Cohen gets zero salary at GameStop. His entire compensation is 171 million stock options that only unlock if GameStop hits specific market cap and EBITDA targets. The first tranche unlocks at $20 billion market cap and $2 billion EBITDA. GameStop currently generates almost no EBITDA and is worth $12 billion. He cannot hit these targets by selling video games. So he is buying eBay instead. eBay generates billions in annual EBITDA. The moment GameStop acquires eBay, all of eBay's EBITDA transfers directly onto GameStop's consolidated financials on day one. Cohen does not need to build $2 billion in EBITDA organically. He just needs to buy a company that already has it. The market cap problem works the same way.  Market cap is stock price multiplied by total shares outstanding. To fund a $56 billion acquisition GameStop will issue hundreds of millions of new shares. More shares outstanding means higher total market cap, even if the stock price drops. His package is not adjusted for dilution meaning he can inflate the market cap mathematically through share issuance alone. One acquisition solves both problems at once. EBITDA target and Market cap target. 171 million options gets unlocked. GameStop shareholders issue the shares, take on $20 billion in debt, and fund the entire thing.

  @desert_starr_57 He put himself in a win-win. He either has it and gets eBay shareholder votes or they vote him down and he scalps the calls for a major profit.

  @GerberKawasaki @BTCYN Get a credit commitment for $150 billion … and then use a public company to issue stock for the other $150 billion. You seem clueless on the idea that RC can monetize eBay better than eBay. How quickly you forgot Apple going from bankrupt to today because the visionary Steve Jobs came back through an acquisition of his tiny computer company. LOL.

  Not an analyst. Not advice. I'm probably wrong as always. eBay almost certainly says yes to this deal. $125 is hard to turn down. Today was essentially the market trying to influence eBay to turn it down. Notice how it got priced today like a dilution. Because it is. The deal becomes something like: Every 1 share of eBay becomes $62.5 + 2.5 GME. The board would be pretty crazy to turn that down. Even if GME is trading at a premium, you could discount it down significantly and it still works out very favorably. For GME shareholders that means outstanding shares must grow. Outstanding Shares: 448m Convertible Notes: 144m Warrants: 59m Cohen Compensation Package: 171m Total: 822m of 1b Authorized Proxy should release soon with an ask to increase the authorized shares to accommodate the deal. Buy the Rumor, Sell the News Cycle Complete Next Steps: Proxy Vote Q1 Earnings Shareholders Meeting Vote Results Deal Completion Maybe Hope everybody is doing well. For those that were worried my calls would get assigned this week, that might still happen.

  $GME - Ryan Cohen’s eBay bid is really a bet that trust becomes the next commerce moat. GameStop is offering $125/share for eBay in a roughly $55.5B cash-and-stock deal, with a 5% economic stake already built. The lazy read is “meme-stock CEO swings at a bigger company.” That misses the real trade. Cohen wants eBay to stop being just a website. His pitch is not simply that eBay can sell more used goods online. It is that eBay can become a hybrid commerce platform: marketplace demand on the front end, GameStop stores on the back end, and collectibles as the wedge. That is why the physical footprint matters. GameStop says its roughly 1,600 U.S. stores could become a national network for collection, authentication, intake, fulfillment, and live commerce. For eBay, that attacks the problem Amazon does not really solve in secondary markets: trust. A graded card, retro console, luxury collectible, refurbished device, or scarce item does not just need distribution. It needs proof. That is the Amazon angle. Cohen said eBay “could be a legit competitor to Amazon,” and said he is “thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars.” Aggressive, yes. Random, no. Amazon owns standardized, logistics-heavy commerce. eBay’s cleaner lane is trusted exchange in categories where condition, provenance, scarcity, and community actually matter. Live commerce fits the same thesis. Stores become studios, eBay brings the inventory and buyer base, and collectibles become the content engine. That is not a gimmick if it drives liquidity in categories where buyers want context before they pay. The risk is not small. This is a much smaller company trying to buy a larger one with stock, cash, debt, and a non-binding proposal. eBay also just posted $3.1B of Q1 revenue and $22.2B of GMV, with GMV up 18%, so shareholders can argue the standalone turnaround is already working. Bottom line: the bid may fail, but the strategic read is sharper than the market wants to admit. Cohen is trying to buy the trust layer of resale commerce, then bolt it to a national physical network. That is the real Amazon-rival thesis.

  THE FINAL COUNTDOWN (@THIS_TIME_X) reported 6 minutes ago

  @glacierptrading @ryancohen I agree that s why I scaled down -75% almost feels like burry anticipates an imminent offering, so he got out, and if it comes true, maybe he was signaling his followers... unfortunately I didnt cut enough early, I didnt expect him to sell ALL today, Ebay hasnt even responded

  @CyberVanLife @Cointelegraph It was that bid to acquire eBay that actually confirmed his exit It just seems like Cohen was gambling with the investment given the down trend of the stock immediately

  @sshxbt I mean when ebay becomes part of gamestop shouldnt the combined equity value be higher and thus he can issue a **** ton of stock? Not sure why he didnt articulate it that way…

  @J0_Sang @somerandbob255 I bulk add hundreds of cards to eBay at a time and buy mostly in person so that takes almost no time. Shipping is ~1 min per card. 45 min is probably generous. Happy to break it down if people want.

  Yeah Gamestop has been a mismanaged company that was only saved due to wall street bets and nostalgia In reality gamestop is still very predatory and terrible as a company Im sure if gamestop acquires ebay something bad will happen but i cant predict what yet

  I'm still considering why Ryan Cohen has taken a softer approach with his activist campaign into the acquisition of eBay, in comparison to the aggressive approach he used with the proxy fights in GameStop and Bed Bath & Beyond, despite this being an enormous and transformative investment There's theories about it being a lucrative swing trade, if eBay refuse or begin a bidding war, the price increase means $GME can sell their $EBAY derivative options at a huge gain However I can't see a long term seasoned investor like Ryan putting the company's money on the line on a whim, or his reputation on the line just incase The soft approach appears to be, a covert threat, that we can take this through a proxy fight with shareholder voting if you wish, or allow me to subdue the company and turn it into a bigger, streamlined, cost controlled business with the 135M+ global core customer base. The next few weeks will be interesting, if a pre-merger agreement is filed then we could see it close by the end of the summer. If GameStop have any other catalysts that drive the share price up in the meantime, the acquisition cost would be drastically lowered with the excess capital. The compensation package is anti-dilutive, meaning the targets will be adjusted proportionately, so I believe any extra capital raised will be using some form of Issuer Sponsored Tokenized Securities, free from manipulation and held directly by GameStop. The unlimited money glitch. Game on.

  This would fix the issue with heavy shipping fees. Ebay would pivot to GME. I think they could easily use Amazon shipping and physical stores for trades and returns.
