  The Masterstroke Behind GameStop's Bid for eBay. When the GameStop CEO made a staggering $55.5 billion push to acquire eBay at $125 per share, Wall Street laughed. Analysts pointed to the obvious math: GameStop has a market cap of roughly $10 billion and cash reserves sitting near $9.4 billion. Even with a $20 billion financing commitment letter from TD Securities, RC was facing an immense capital shortfall. eBay’s board immediately dismissed the offer as "neither credible nor attractive." Yet, RC isn't backing down. He recently doubled down, withdrawing a massive $35 billion potential performance bonus to ensure corporate leadership is completely focused on the takeover. GameStop is heavily buying up eBay common stock and building derivatives exposure. He clearly sees something the rest of the market is missing. To understand the strategy, look at the underlying asset: the global collectibles and alternative investment industry. It is a massive market, but it is currently bogged down by friction. While eBay possesses a premier network of physical authentication hubs and vaults (thanks to its infrastructure partnership with PSA), it remains restricted by traditional payment rails. When a high-value physical asset or a rare digital gaming item changes hands, the platform is plagued by settlement delays, high transaction fees, and shipping liabilities. eBay owns the physical architecture, but it completely lacks the digital clearing infrastructure required to turn culture into a frictionless financial asset... GameStop wants to build a unified system where assets stay securely stationary in physical vaults, while ownership transfers instantly and securely on a digital exchange. But how does a retail company plug that massive digital tech gap? This is where the corporate puzzle pieces fall into place, and it comes with a major catch. Enter tZERO. tZERO is an SEC & FINRA regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS) that specializes in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). It owns the exact regulated digital clearinghouse infrastructure that eBay lacks. If you want to take a high-value alternative asset portfolio, secure it, and trade fractional shares of it instantly with real-time settlement, tZERO’s tech stack handles it seamlessly. The twist? GameStop doesn't own tZERO. It is heavily owned and controlled by $BBBY. They have been actively pushing tZERO to restructure its capital token framework to maximize corporate flexibility. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is hungry for capital to fund its own ongoing brand acquisitions and e-commerce growth. This creates a perfect opportunity for a strategic corporate spin-off. GameStop can inject substantial cash directly into Bed Bath & Beyond to carve out and acquire a controlling stake in tZERO. This move provides Bed Bath & Beyond with the liquidity it needs for its turnaround, while handing GameStop the crown jewel of digital financial clearing. By integrating tZERO as the institutional backend clearing firm for a combined GameStop-eBay footprint, the final picture becomes clear. This structural loop completely eliminates shipping damage, return fraud, and long settlement delays. A buyer can purchase a fractional share of a historic collectible or an ultra-rare in-game asset, watch it appreciate, and sell it seconds later. The item never leaves the secure vault, but liquidity moves instantly. 🧸

  @tara98641537 thats like asking if ebay is genuine. its just a platform for people to resell their stuff on. it all comes down to the person you’re buying from unfortunately. can be both lucky and unlucky both places, although Id like to believe humans are sincere more often than not

  @littlenutsac_ That really sucks. They dont have the bypass bolts anymore they must be cracking down. But they 100% have chinese catless exhausts for every car under the sun. Ebay can be real ***** sometimes man.

  @NavyVet Doing what they do best, FRAUD. Stealing them from stores and reselling them on ebay. Slithering snakes are not entitled to our court system! Deport immediately. I am sad that alligator Alcatraz is preparing to shut down

  @OffDaHook35 @eBay i hate corporate partnerships, no incentive to improve or fix issues as they are locked into a pact.

  @PSAcard @PSAcard any update on this? Any update on why cards are not scanned in or photographed when an @eBay seller sends it for authentication? I am still waiting on where the issue is. Did the seller send you a 9 and it was passed off as a 10, or did PSA replace my 10 with a 9?

  @SergiTuiter @MarioNawfal Here try learning instead of talking so much TLDR: China has begun selling Chinese Goods direct to American Consumers on Ecommerce platforms. This is an unprecedented mechanism for circumventing the US economy to extract wealth from the US consumer base and funnel it directly to China. The result is devastating to the US ecommerce industry; the broader US retail sector; to US manufacturing and the US businesses which support them. The “Made in China” issue has evolved into the “Sold By China” issue, an even greater threat to the US economy. Internet shopping has opened the doors for foreign companies, predominantly from China, to have unlimited direct access to the American retail consumer- circumventing US businesses, extracting massive wealth from the US economy, reducing US tax revenues and avoiding potential regulation. Here’s what’s happening: Market Displacement: Foreign sellers sell direct to American consumers through online platforms like Amazon, Tik-Tok Shop, Shein, Temu, and Aliexpress - circumventing US businesses which have historically provided these products to American consumers. This trend has increased exponentially over the past 5 years with today over 63% of all Amazon 3rd party sales being sold directly by Chinese companies on the platform (SOLD BY CHINA); and, with TEMU which features products exclusively Sold by China having risen to become the number 2 ecommerce retailer in the United States behind only Amazon. Foreign companies selling direct in Ecommerce take white collar jobs directly from Americans as high paying jobs in Marketing, Creative, Analysis, Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, Forecasting, etc all get employed in the Foreign country for the Foreign company/brand/manufacturer. The foreign company manufactures the product, owns the brand, and then sells directly to the US consumer effectively pulling the entire vertical out of the US and placing it into China. With consideration to the rapid influx of Chinese sellers and products into the US retail sector by way of Chinese retailers; huge swaths of the US Market are being funneled to foreign businesses creating an existential threat to US Ecommerce, US Retail as a whole and the industries which support them . Too many large iconic US retailers like JCPenney and Bed Bath & Beyond; marketplaces like eBay and Etsy; and countless US small businesses are struggling and too many have already given up. We’re giving away the US consumer markets and all of the jobs which support them to China, and this trend is accelerating at an alarming rate. Ripple Effects: Where previously only manufacturing was displaced, the recent proliferation of ecommerce has now made it possible to cut American companies out of the US economy entirely. The economic disruption extends beyond the US companies competing directly with Chinese Sellers online, to traditional brick and mortar and the US retail sector as a whole, who see year over year losses of market share as more buyers purchase directly from China. The retail sector itself is the front line for a broad collective of service businesses which support them; and, the influx of Chinese sellers has ripple effects which impact US based service provides in marketing, advertising, buying, quality control, product sourcing, customer service, graphic design, photography, product development, shipping, logistics, warehousing, technology, Finance, Accounting, Data Analysis and of course U.S. manufacturing, supply and so much more. This cascading effect is ripping through various sectors of the economy, leading to job losses, reduced innovation, and slower US economic growth while China’s Ecommerce presence in the US is EXPLODING. This impact ultimately extends to local communities, affecting everything from tax revenues to real estate markets in areas where these retail businesses and their ecosystem partners are concentrated. Lost Tax Revenues and Regulatory Evasion: As broad portions of the US retail sector move to Chi..

  🚨 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.

  There is literally one eBay listing for the issue but I’m not even sure if it’s a real listing or if it’s lying to me. Either way it’s sealed and I’m not buying it so..I emailed a few websites so we’ll see what happens.
