  @eBay is one of the absolute worst companies to work with. Garbage AI is not able to fix problems.

  finding the right one-liner for Shack took only years 🫠 by now we must‘ve changed it 20+ times „C2C Marketplace“ „Anything to Anyone“ „P2P trade network“ „Human protocol for trade“ „Agentic (re)commerce network“ „Silk Road is back“ „C2C fiat and crypto enabled“ „AI consumer trade app“ „C2C running on Memes & AI“ … the hard part was that I knew what we‘re not no eBay, Vinted, Facebook marketplaces, Craigslist, Uber, Amazon etc so we couldn‘t use the usual C for Y „the eBay for Collectibles“ or the „Uber for trade“ I think we‘re finally there and not sure what took me so long: „building a home for regular sellers“ why do I like this so much? a) It‘s tech agnostic. We use whatever we think is best. b) it describes the solution and the problem c) a 5yr old can understand it d) it captures our key priority: regular sellers e) it‘s not tied to a category or vertical, just the desire to sell smth f) it also clearly implies what we‘re not: for professional sellers. We don‘t want to be the next whatnot, amazon or compete against any of them g) it conveys trust and human connection (home) h) it implies continuity and a long term mission (building) the simplest way to think about Shack is a testing ground for smth you own and want to sell. atoms, bits, time compared to setting up a business first or creating a website or find the right vertical website/app you can just take/create a photo and put it up for sale on Shack for the world to explore. maybe your test turns into a business at some point and then you can do all the admin around it and switch to the unlimited professional selling options out there. Shack is aiming to be the easiest point of entry if you‘re not a business and just want to sell or explore selling, with as little friction as possible what will happen if we succeed and users around the world are putting anything they want to sell online? buyers will follow as the supply will be so uniquely differentiated to all the commoditized professional selling options and most importantly prices will undercut any professional as a regular seller has none of the overhead or is selling something that is depreciating or would have been thrown away winning will prevent waste and preserve value the eCommerce industry continues to drive regular sellers into private whatsapp buy/sell groups or offline by prioritizing pros, buyers and vertical solutions (ten apps for regular sellers compared to one) in parallel the creator economy is accelerating and technology is deflating global P2P trade costs. a solution like Shack could capture multiple secular tailwinds and the best part: connect people around the globe decreasing isolation and strengthening community.

  @QuantumUnity247 @Prolotario1 Don't worry. Take it explain your situation see what they say. That's all you can do. I know people who brought exclusively via ebay even though I warned them not too for the reasons mentioned by Ariel. Sometimes cutting corners or trying to save money csn get you into more trouble.

  🚨 Someone built a tool that checks if your email is registered on 120+ sites — without the sites ever knowing someone checked. No notifications sent. No login attempts logged. No alerts triggered. Silent. Invisible. Complete. It's called Holehe. 16,800 GitHub stars. And the technique behind it is what makes it different from every other email OSINT tool. Here's how most email checkers work — and why they fail. Standard approach: try to log in with the email and a fake password. If the error says "wrong password" — the account exists. If it says "account not found" — it doesn't. Problem: every login attempt gets logged. Every failed attempt triggers security alerts on accounts with 2FA. Some platforms lock accounts after repeated failed attempts. The target knows someone was checking. Holehe never attempts a login. Instead it uses the "forgot password" flow — the password reset mechanism that every platform exposes publicly. When you enter an email on a forgot password page, the platform has to check whether that email exists in its database. It tells you: "we sent a reset link" or "no account found." Holehe reads that response. Gets the answer. Never touches the login flow. Never triggers a security alert. Never logs an access attempt against the account. The platform confirms whether the email exists. The account owner never finds out anyone asked. Here's what 120+ platforms looks like in practice. Social media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit. Professional: LinkedIn, GitHub, Freelancer, Fiverr. Dating: Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Badoo, Happn. Entertainment: Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, Steam, Epic Games, Deezer. Shopping: Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, AliExpress. Services: Airbnb, Uber, PayPal, Dropbox, Adobe. And 90+ more. Every registration checked silently. Here's the use case that makes people share this. Run your own email address. See every platform that comes back positive. Then run an email address you gave to a company that claimed they'd never share it. See if it's registered on data broker sites and marketing platforms you never signed up for. See where your email has been sold or leaked to. Here's what investigators actually use it for. Journalists verifying whether a source's claimed identity matches their digital footprint. Security researchers auditing their own exposure before a public disclosure. HR teams verifying whether candidate profiles match claimed backgrounds. And the obvious: anyone who needs to know whether a specific email address belongs to a real active person — without alerting that person. Here's the wildest part. It runs async — all 120+ platforms checked simultaneously. Results in seconds. And it exports clean JSON or CSV for integration into larger OSINT pipelines. Pair it with Blackbird (which takes the confirmed email and finds linked profiles), Sherlock (which takes usernames found in those profiles and searches 400+ platforms), and Maigret (which builds the full dossier) — and you have a complete four-tool OSINT pipeline from a single email address. One command to instal. Run it on your own email first. 16.8K GitHub stars. 1.7K forks. MIT License. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  Three of my holdings showed up across a few big name institutions in this quarter's institutional filings. Here's why I own them. Filing season is noise if you read it as a scoreboard. It's useful if you read it as a question: what did people with the most research capacity conclude, and does it match your own work? Three names in my book came up. I owned all three before the filings and I own more conviction in them after. $GOOGL — Alphabet grew revenue 22% year over year last quarter. That's the eleventh consecutive quarter of double-digit growth at a company already measured in trillions. Most mid-caps can't sustain that rate. Alphabet is doing it at a scale where the law of large numbers should have killed it years ago. But the growth rate isn't why I own it.Every other participant in the AI trade is exposed to a link in the chain they don't control. Nvidia's customers can design their own silicon. The model labs rent their compute. The cloud providers buy their chips at someone else's margin. Alphabet is the only company that owns the model, the silicon, the data centers, the distribution and the advertising engine that monetizes all of it. When you own the whole stack, every dollar of AI spending you make stays inside the building. TPUs mean Alphabet isn't paying Nvidia's gross margin to train its own models. That is a structural cost advantage no competitor can replicate without a decade of chip design.Then look at what sits underneath: Search is a near-monopoly on how humans locate information. YouTube is the largest video platform on earth. Android runs most of the phones on the planet. Google Cloud is a genuine top-three hyperscaler. Four entrenched positions, each with enormous switching costs, funding a fifth business in frontier AI research. My own gauge on it reads bullish on earnings, bullish on technicals, bullish on analyst positioning — and negative on financials, driven entirely by the capital expenditure required to build AI infrastructure. That spending is simultaneously the thesis and the risk. I'm treating it as the thesis. $AMZN — the market has it filed under the wrong industryA screening comparison ran this week putting Amazon against its official peer group. The peers: eBay, Macy's, Kohl's, Dillard's, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Savers Value Village, and a company called Hour Loop. That's the bull case, and it wasn't the point of the article. Amazon is classified as broad line retail. Retail is roughly 74% of revenue, so the label technically fits. But AWS is 17% and advertising is 9% — a quarter of the business comes from the two highest-margin categories in all of technology, and the taxonomy the market screens it through cannot see either one. Run the comparison anyway. Amazon trades at 21.33x earnings against a 32.5x industry average. It generates a 12.61% return on equity against a 6.47% peer average — nearly double. It grew revenue 19.62% against 17.04%, at a base orders of magnitude larger than anything else in the table. Debt-to-equity of 0.4, the strongest balance sheet among its four closest comparables. Cheaper on earnings, twice as profitable, growing faster, less levered. The only line where it screens expensive is price-to-sales — exactly what you'd expect from a company selling cloud infrastructure and advertising rather than clearance inventory. A high price-to-sales ratio against department stores isn't a warning. It's proof the classification is wrong. AWS is running its fastest growth in eighteen quarters. Amazon holds the number one position in domestic e-commerce, top-tier position in cloud, and the third-largest digital advertising business in the world. Three oligopolies inside one ticker, priced like a retailer. It's my worst-performing position, down 4.0% since entry, and it's 14.79% of the book. Being early and being wrong look identical right up until they don't. $BAC — the cheapest funding in American banking. Bank of America is 22.13% of Too Big To Fail and up 25.5% since entry, the best performer in that portfolio. The mechanism is unglamorous and durable. $BAC sits on an enormous, low-cost, sticky retail deposit base — the cheapest funding in the industry. When asset yields rise faster than deposit costs, that spread widens, and it drops straight to the bottom line. There is no product cycle, no execution risk, no competitive response that changes it. You cannot start a competitor to a hundred-year-old deposit franchise. This week they committed $250 billion to a Critical Infrastructure Finance Initiative — capital mobilized over 18 months, through July 4th of next year, timed to the country's 250th anniversary. Three buckets: digital infrastructure covering data centers, computing hardware, chips, telecom and semiconductors; energy and power covering generation, storage and distribution; and core infrastructure covering transportation, grid optimization, water and critical minerals. Read that alongside what the other two announced. JPMorgan launched a $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative. Morgan Stanley committed roughly $1.5 trillion over the next decade to technology and infrastructure. Different time horizons, so don't add them into a headline number — add them into a posture. Three of the four largest banks in America independently concluded that financing the physical buildout of American industrial and computing capacity is the highest-return use of their balance sheet this decade.That's the part the rate-cut debate keeps missing. Net interest margin is one engine of three. Investment banking, advisory and capital markets are the other two, and those run on deal volume rather than the policy rate. When a $250 billion infrastructure program needs a home, there are four phone numbers in this country.I didn't buy any of these because someone else did. I bought them because each one sits at an intersection of a structural trend and a market position nobody can take away. The filings are confirmation that the reasoning isn't unusual. They aren't the reason. Educational only. Not financial advice.

  I had all my old merch saved in the attic so that wasn't a big problem, but what I asked for Christmas in '17 was a big TM lot on Ebay, which we won it. That really kickstarted something and it's been fun ever since.

  Saved $900 by turning a dead office PC into a full NAS. A custom storage server with real capacity runs well past $1,000. The alternative: a used Dell Optiplex 7020, $50 off eBay. Intel i5-4570, 4 cores, 3.6 GHz, 8 GB DDR3, a 250 W PSU already inside. Storage came next. 2 Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDDs at $19 each. A 120 GB SSD for $10. Drive cost: $48. Total build: $98. TrueNAS SCALE went on top, free. 2 drives mirrored into 1 pool, 1 TB safe from a single drive failure. A dataset, an SMB share, a login, done. A 4.7 GB file moved at 90 MB per second, full drive speed with none of the subscription fees. Nextcloud replaced the cloud plan. A Java Minecraft server replaced the hosting bill. Plex replaced streaming. $1,000+ buys a box built to do exactly this. $98 buys an office PC nobody wanted. That's $900 saved, and it started as e-waste.

  Alani Nu has the kind of problem every consumer brand wants - $CELH Alani Nu just dropped its Halloween lineup and the response has been absolutely nuts. Witch’s Brew, Ruby Apple and Voodoo Vanilla Elixir are selling out, TikTok and Instagram are full of people loading their carts with multiple cases and hunting for stores that still have inventory, and secondary market markups are already appearing on places like eBay. At Sam’s Club, there have been reports of Witch’s Brew selling out in less than an hour. Scarcity has a funny way of becoming its own marketing campaign. Every empty shelf, bulk buy video and resale listing becomes another advertisement for the product… Meaning more social proof, more FOMO, and more people searching for the next restock. What makes this even more interesting is that Witch’s Brew isn’t new. It’s a returning seasonal flavor that Alani has managed to turn into something closer to an annual product drop. Consumers know it’s coming, wait for it, stock up when it arrives and post when they find it. And this isn’t happening in a vacuum. It’s landing while the underlying Alani brand already has serious momentum, now with PepsiCo’s distribution machine behind it. Following a blowout Q1, with roughly 60% yoy pro forma growth and more than 100% growth in tracked channels, Alani generated about $364m of Q2 net sales, up 21% yoy, while U.S. retail sales in tracked channels grew 55.7%. We’ve seen a version of this playbook before with $ELF Glow Reviver Lip Oil became one of elfs major launches during FY24, right as the broader brand was gaining enormous momentum. That year, elf grew net sales 77% yoy, gained ~300 bps of market share and crossed $1b in annual sales for the first time. The point isn’t one lip oil or a few seasonal energy drinks. It’s what happens when a breakout product lands inside a brand that is already gaining distribution, shelf space, awareness and market share. The HIT product brings new consumers into the franchise, generates millions of dollars of organic attention and gives retailers another reason to allocate shelf space. And once consumers come in for that product, some of that attention inevitably spills across the rest of the portfolio. The best product launches don’t just sell product. They make the entire shelf more valuable

  @fawfulfan We need to crack down on the fencing operations too. E-commerce has allowed them to become million dollar enterprises. We need to crack down on Amazon, ebay, Facebook marketplace, etc. Hungary virtually stopped car theft by prioritizing going after the chop shops.
