  _Chase😈 (@Ankara_inc) reported 3 minutes ago

  Caller: “ I’m 61 with no retirement savings and living in low income housing” Caller: I’m 61, recently divorced, living in subsidized housing, and I have no retirement savings. I’m working 25 hours a week as a cashier and I just don’t know how to get ahead. Dave: This is primarily an income problem. 25 hours a week as a cashier isn’t enough, you need more hours or a different income stream entirely. What’s holding you back? Caller: I have bad knees and a bad back, so anything physical like cleaning or caregiving is off the table. Dave: Then we shift to what you can do. Can you cook? Do you have items around the house you’re not using? Caller: I do have a lot of stuff, yes. Dave: Start selling it on Facebook Marketplace and eBay. I know someone who made $800,000 in a year just reselling items, it’s a real, scalable business if you work it seriously. Caller: I wouldn’t even know where to start. Dave: You start with what’s already in your home, learn the platforms, and build from there. Use your mind, not your back. It’s not too late, Jenny but fear cannot be the thing that stops you. Caller: I needed to hear that. Dave: I’m going to send you Ken Coleman’s book, The Proximity Principle, to help you think through your next career move. Read it and take action. Caller: Thank you, Dave.

  @TrentTelenko I’ve already seen a few on ebay. The only problem is the sellers say, “Local pickup only. And bring 400 gallons of diesel fuel.”

  @BusyDadFantasy The card market has the same problem you do, it likes them too. Trevor Lawrence leads (1,668 eBay tracked sales in 90 days), then Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. are basically tied behind him, with BTJ holding the deeper high end (96 cards over $100). Parker Washington is the only one collectors haven't touched. That's your cheap dart if the targets show up.

  @JylesCards And this is why eBay’s 13% isn’t completely terrible. Yeah 0% sounds way better through X, Reddit, Facebook Marketplace etc. until you get ripped off, then the 13% doesn’t sound so bad.

  @GodsWrestler133 @CardPurchaser I vend but when I’m not selling at a show… I’m a marketplace guy. I know eBay is good and safe but I’ve NEVER not eventually sold something on marketplace… even the shipping on there is alright. I’d rather slow sell on FB than quick sell and get played.

  Aug 2020. Cybertruck reservation was already in… was thinking about getting a Y… walked out to my car and found a shopping cart had dented it. Security cam showed it was just the wind and the cart had rolled across the Lowe’s lot on its own. After this, I replaced the fender myself with a used one from eBay and then swore to myself I never wanted to do body work again for dumb dents. So I doubled down on the idea of a stainless exoskeleton and kept driving this Nissan Leaf for 4 more years. Cheap to operate, but was really sick of it by the end. Cybertruck was worth the wait 😎

  @giyu_eth_ @Courtyard_io Courtyard is probably one one of the worst pack rip sites out there (and that's saying something). Most packs give you around a 30% of just breaking even. Literally not even worth your money. That number goes down when you include the arbitrary "service fee" to buyback. The offering system is also predatory as **** - it makes it was to easy to fat finger lowball offers. Stopped using them after I ripped 20 packs and broke even on 2. Better off just buying the cards you like on eBay or through their marketplace.

  After seeing the book Chains of Sea explode in value on sites like eBay because of @LueElizondo, it is now starting to go back down in price and there are a good amount of copies available. If you were holding off on buying one when they were all around $80 it looks like there are now copies available for $30 or less.

  @PeakHobby If target Walmart and best buy can pretty much sell at msrp, hell even Aldi and 5Below, so can everyone else and they need too. It’s not even a scalper issue anyone, normal sellers are taking advantage of people’s FOMO and also going “ well if they are selling at that price we should sell them at that price too.” If consumers are willing to buy at $300+ then if the prices get lowered to back to msrp or close, we may end up with an over consuming issue where those consumers willing to buy for such a high price are now buying many at once at lower price, causing it to still be hard to get for everyone. Meaning companies then would have to start doing limits, which could lead to more botting online which then leads to needing better fight on bots. They need to go after these TikTok,eBay, and WhatsApp sellers as well, not just retailers. Had one TikTok streamer say, in response to everything being stupidly overpriced, go “ well there are people willing to buy them at that price, so why not? If you’re broke just say so.”

  @growing_daniel @rei_iku_ In the cases of Honey and Capital One, users voluntarily downloaded the browser extensions and accepted terms of service that allowed the extensions to look for coupons and interact with checkout pages. The core legal fight is simply over "last-click attribution" rules—meaning it's a civil argument about who gets paid the commission under industry standards, not a criminal scam. That's different from cases like various eBay affiliate/cookie stuffing issues = wire fraud.

  @eBay you have a problem with your app, it’s not been functioning correctly for days now and I’ve got an item listed.

  Surplus freight and manufacturer overstock have a distribution problem. CargoBridge connects these inventory sources directly to Amazon and eBay sellers—so excess never goes to waste and sellers finally get reliable stock. Live soon.

  eBay sellers really need to be better prepared when selling Pokémon cards on @eBay, calling out incorrect comps and sales hoping people will place higher bids, also selling very off centered cards as “minty” is a serious problem for the buying community.

  The turmoil of wanting those giant Tripp pants with the straps hanging down in the back but not being able to justify buying them for $140 😭 Maybe I can find cheaper ones on ebay… Tho if I get jumped, someone just has to step on the straps and it’s over
