  @ChuckDeVore @***** Having kids play sports all over has forced me into stores across the country Massive difference in certain areas as many of their stores are now designed to prevent loss Terrible shopping experience Easier to wait a day from Amazon or buy off eBay

  @C_Landy84 I’ve had amazing luck with them actually. You have put a bid down early, monitor it, then set a reminder in phone to check eBay with 10 min left on the clock for bid ending Then with about 2 min left up your bid, wait for someone to beat it then with 10 secs up it again

  @courtney883 These things never go down in price on eBay. The sleeping under the desk one from last year still selling for over 200 bucks on eBay.

  UGH after selling stuff on @eBay for a couple of years, I had a guy open a claim that he never received an $80 package. This is after he asked me twice to come down in price, I refused and he bought it anyway. Now he’s trying to screw me. I am NOT OK with this. 😡

  Had an Air Force family live down the street from me. The oldest son was the neighborhood know-it-all and show-off. Of course, he had the nicest, most expensive bike among all the kids. Mongoose had a deal going with military exchanges, and last time I visited the nearest base commissary, they still do. Anyway this kid had a Mongoose. The Blue Max branded Mongoose. About two years later his dad was caught doing PCS fraud. Lost his commission. Had to sell his prize 1960s Corvette he kept in the garage. Had to sell the house pronto because the Air Force yanked his BAH the day they yanked his commission. They even tried to give away a Hawaiian vacation to whoever bought that stupid house, the poor fools. They never sold it. They defaulted. They showed up in town a few years later, the entire family riding motorcycles. They had no home anymore, so they just rode motorcycles, as a family, around the United States. Anyway if you still have your Mongoose or Hutch or Redline, they go for a lot of money on Ebay now.

  Ebay app search sorted by “Best Match” is currently broken, only returning 0 listings. @eBay your backend is bad and you should feel bad.

  @SiouxEggbysioux @JChimirie66677 Bought a Logburner. When there was a powercut last year, we had warmth, the heat from it spreads down the hall into the other rooms. Local guy offered cut trees late last yr, we bought log splitter on ebay (cheap).Plus Chainsaw B&Q. Now stocked ready for winter powercuts!

  A Yale professor recorded one semester of game theory in 2007 that quietly explains how Google, eBay, and every ad exchange on earth pulls over $500 billion a year out of advertisers' pockets. Yale charges $86,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He put every lecture on Yale Open Courses in 2008 for free. Millions of people have watched. Almost no retail trader, founder, or negotiator has ever actually used the framework. His name is Ben Polak — Yale professor, former Provost of Yale, and one of the most-watched university lecturers in internet history. The 62-minute clip here is one lecture from ECON 159: Game Theory, taught to a packed auditorium of Yale undergrads in the fall of 2007. Over 24 lectures, Polak builds the entire mathematical foundation of strategic decision-making from the ground up. Dominant strategies. If one option beats every other option no matter what your opponent does, you take it — end of discussion. The reason the rest of game theory even exists is that dominant strategies almost never show up in real life. Nash equilibria. The point where nobody can improve their outcome by switching strategy on their own. Almost every price you've ever paid is a Nash equilibrium. Every wage negotiation, every auction bid, every trade in a market with millions of participants — it all converges to one, whether the people involved know it or not. Auctions. The mathematical difference between first-price sealed-bid, second-price sealed-bid, English ascending, and Dutch descending auctions is worth billions of dollars a year to whoever's running the auction. Google Ads runs on a modified second-price auction. eBay is an English ascending auction with proxy bidding baked in. Treasury bill sales run Dutch descending. Each format squeezes a different amount of value out of bidders — and almost none of them know which format they're actually playing. Evolutionary strategies. Why cooperation sometimes beats betrayal in games that repeat. Why the dead-simple tit-for-tat rule outperformed every sophisticated algorithm entered in Robert Axelrod's famous 1980 tournament. Why nearly every stable business relationship on earth, if you look closely, is just tit-for-tat wearing a suit. Every hedge fund pays entry-level quants specifically to walk in the door already knowing this. Every big tech company hires PhD game theorists just to design their pricing pages. Every major M&A negotiation gets priced by consultants who bill $2 million a deal to apply these exact same equations. Here's the first rule Polak teaches, every single semester, without fail: "Never play a strictly dominated strategy." He calls it the one rule game theory is completely certain about — zero exceptions. And retail traders break it constantly, every time they add to a losing position, because taking the loss feels worse in the moment than doubling down does. The lectures are free on Yale Open Courses. The 2007 problem sets and exams are still sitting online. Every equation Polak derives fits in under thirty pages of a textbook. The math costs nothing. Sitting through 24 hours of game theory before you open a bid box, a trading terminal, or walk into a negotiation — that's the rare part. Far rarer than the confidence to walk in without it.

  After many months of losing the spark due to some personal issues, its time to get back on the horse and crack on, part out of spite towards geebubs, part as it needs to happen. Painting wise we got a kill team of legionnaires, renegade more than full on, a Vindicare assassin, big bobby G (backpack bit broke off but it was an ebay snipe) as well as myself (there are layers to this irony. And though a legends model in its own right; **** it)

  @premiercards_2 Already have. I’ve been with eBay over 20 years. I’ve seen it all. I’ve been with them for all their policy rollouts. Whats the process PSA does with the cards? And the policy sucks be issue it only favors the buyers.

  This is ridiculous. @eBay you need to stop using this gofo express garbage. They dump packages outside, their delivery people take pics and then steal the package (they dump packages outside, take a pic to say it's delivered, and then steal the package). We can do nothing. These are the worst scum imaginable. Their entire operation need to be shut down. They don't even hire people that speak English. @GOFOSupport

  I spent the entire day at home yesterday. Like didn’t leave once. I legit don’t know the last time that’s happened. 10-20-30 years. I cooked, cleaned, bought coins on eBay, and took 3-4 naps. Might go down as the greatest day I’ve had.

  @lenac2009 @OwenGregorian I’ve bought 3 on Temu. I only wanted 2 but I spaced on the first one and bought a battery operated one instead of a USB rechargeable. If you get a battery one, it’s 50/50 that it will be a 9-volt, which gets pricey over the long run. The biggest issue is the pads - they have 2 styles, one is a kind of snap on dohickey and the other is a straight post so make sure you’re not buying the wrong pads or units that don’t use the same pads. I generally buy pads in bulk on eBay but if you’re careful with them, they’re usually good for 5-7 times to put on and take off; I tend to roll mine because I put them where my underwear band is so I go through them faster there than anywhere else. I would also recommend that you check out all the settings for the pattern of the shocks on your forearm at a very low intensity before putting them anywhere near your spine because a) it’s painful because it’s an electric zap the first couple times, b) not every pattern is going to work for you, and c) never put anything close to your spine until you know what you’re doing. You don’t put the pads directly on your spine, either, and never, ever on your cervical spine! I put my neck pads about 3 fingers away on my shoulders and even that probably isn’t a great idea but I have issues along my entire spine and I have to interrupt the neural pulses at multiple levels or I don’t get the relief I’m looking for. They make different types of TENS units and the only one you don’t want is advertised as working your muscles; they don’t do anything for muscles they describe anyway and they sometimes have a really strong zap because they’re on the abdomen. Just my opinion but why risk buying something that could do more damage than good? I love my TENS units and they do more for me than massage therapy. But it’s subjective because again, electric zap is painful until you get used to it. Once I’m at the highest intensity level I can get between 4-6 hours where my lower back isn’t screaming but I settle for less on my neck and mid back because I don’t have as much nerve damage there yet and I don’t have to go as high or as long.

  @JesseBallCards @eBay @CardPurchaser Of course, and eBay is great about removing if there was an error or it’s just a disgruntled buyer but you did everything right. But I’m going to guess you didn’t ship something or cancelled an order to save yourself a few bucks. That violates TOS & will stay with you.
