  The most reliable way to misread an earnings report is to start at the bottom line. $GME just posted preliminary net income up roughly 78% on net sales down roughly 19%. Both numbers are real. Only one of them is about the business. The quarter, company figures: -net sales: $780M to $800M, vs $972.2M a year ago -net income: $290M to $310M, vs $168.6M -operating income: $150M to $170M, vs $66.4M The bridge from falling sales to rising profit is one line. Roughly $238M of gains on an eBay derivative asset and an equity investment, less roughly $75M of digital-asset losses. about $163M of pre-tax marks. For scale: that eBay exposure is carried at about $4.947B. the company books about $790M of sales in a quarter. when the portfolio is that big, the income statement is partly a report on the portfolio. Credit where due: operating income more than doubled. that is a bigger percentage jump than the net income line everyone quotes. smaller, tighter, better-run retailer. real progress. not the headline story. Keep this part: -net income up while revenue is down: find the non-operating line first. it is usually one line, and it is usually named -size the securities book against the operating result. a $5B position swamps a sub-$200M quarter, in both directions -falling sales with improving operating income is a cost story. real, but a different story from the headline I am fully invested, and none of this changes that. guidance direction and price reaction have been disagreeing all earnings season. last Thursday five of seven reporters raised guidance and four of the seven closed lower. reading the price as the verdict on the numbers is the error. The case against: I may be underselling the operating turn, which more than doubled at every point of the guided range. and these are preliminary figures. no call is scheduled, and complete results are due September 8. $GME $EBAY

  Anyone else notice how much better listing has gotten? I hadn’t listed cards on eBay in a while because of the fees and how long it took. Used to be 3–5 minutes per card. Listed a few Laz and Rainiel cards today and the AI had me down to about a minute each. @CardPurchaser

  @eBay when a seller chooses your ESE option and pays for it, it should come out at that time just like any other service one chooses to ship with. It’s annoying as hell to see my balance go down 2-3 day later and have to track which fee it was for

  Adam Gray on YT was talking about fake patches today going back to 2007. According to Upper Deck they have staff on hand now that saw it happen in 2001!! Personally I think the current UD story is BS as this is the 3rd time they have changed the story on this card but they did say it recently. The latest UD version is someone pulled one of the first Kobe Patch cards and immediately swapped it into this card and they have someone on staff that remembers them doing it in 2001 ish. In 1999 UD told me about this specific card and another patch card when I asked them what the future of patch card looked like. They instead told me about the best and worst Patches they had seen so far while they were testing. I ran a cron job from my GameJersey server to search ebay and the newsgroups for these cards. A few years later I found this card on eBay from a highly rated seller that sold boxes and cases and, at the time, a rather large Kobe collection. I inquired and they said it was a gift from UD to someone who had passed. Around 2012 I had to call UDA about the first 1 of 1 Game Jersey card ever made because it didnt show up with their online verification and has a phone number to verify. After doing that I inquired about this card and after a few transfers I was told that my card was a fake and they were floating around the past few months. I assured them mine had providence and was in my collection for years at this point. They shrugged and said they didnt have anything further to add.

  Most people never see the inversion coming. They see the crash. The coup. The empty bank account. The factory that will not ship. Then they analogize: more staff, more robots, more of last year’s stack. Innovators do the opposite. They stay in the problem until the cost curve breaks. PayPal ousted Musk in 2000 for pushing a rebrand and a Unix-to-Windows NT migration. He did not wage a public war. He stayed a shareholder. eBay paid $1.5 billion in 2002. His ~11.7% stake — about $180 million — funded SpaceX and Tesla. By late 2008 both companies were days from death. Three Falcon 1 failures. Tesla about to miss payroll. One last rocket. Flight 4 worked on September 28. NASA signed $1.6 billion in December. He put his remaining cash into a $20 million Tesla bridge that closed Christmas Eve. Analogical thinking said “stop.” Physics said “one more launch.” Reusable first stages. Manual labor where the robots jammed. 5,000 Model 3s a week after he ripped out the over-automated line and slept on the floor. 75% of Twitter’s headcount gone so the cost of running the network inverted. That is not grit as a slogan. That is inverting labor, capital, and infrastructure until unit economics work. Follow people who have innovated at least once. Not the ones narrating the next analog. I built a platform to help average people think like that before you commit the capital. More on that soon. This is 100% a real interview LOL

  I already had the first two Bendy and Boris ones from back when they were being sent out. The scary lil Christmas ones I got later down the line on eBay, and the naughty or nice one this year on Mercari.

  @card_history @UpperDeckSports In 1999 Upper Deck told me about a few of the first Patch cards ever made. The best and worst as they put it. The WORST was a yet unreleased employee card with a distinct error i how the patch was inserted. A few months later the first Jordan employee card was released. After years of looking I never found the Jordan card that was described. The 'best' patch they described is attached. I found it after years of searching the newsgroups, sportsnet and ebay.

  @renoipgp That's true, I was just highlighting a new account that registered after the other eBay accounts were shutdown. Obviously very little effort from eBay to keep problem sellers off the site.

  So I made a complaint, got auto response saying no regulations broken. Appealed, response 12 hours later saying same 😯😳 @eBay_UK @eBay Why do you allow sellers to defraud buyers by letting them cancel the order, change the price, ask them to reorder, & hope they won't notice?

  @WristByAde I wonder about authenticity when I buy watches off eBay. I don’t spend much and I can’t imagine the oddballs I do buy are worth the trouble to counterfeit. I think the big issues I have are with “Frankenwatches” so watches that are put together with non-original parts

  @bertie4lily Can't say I've had problems with Ebay, usually cheaper and free postage.
