  Resellers running Amazon arbitrage with stitched-together bots get shut down faster than they turn profit. Arbloop ties Amazon, eBay, and Shopify into one continuous loop — VeRO-aware SKU filtering, median-priced relisting, per-SKU P&L every morning. Live soon.

  In 1999, a person listed a human kidney on eBay starting at $25,000. Within days, the bidding skyrocketed past $5,000,000 before eBay shut it down. Meanwhile, water—the single most essential element for human survival—was selling for pennies. In 1776, Adam Smith posed the exact same puzzle: why are life-saving goods almost free, while useless shiny rocks cost millions? The answer isn't utility. It's the intersection of marginal supply and demand. In his introductory Microeconomics lecture at MIT, Jonathan Gruber uses this to teach one fundamental law: Constrained Optimization. Markets don't reward intrinsic value or moral necessity. They reward scarcity and the next best alternative. Every financial decision comes down to Opportunity Cost. When you allocate $10,000 into a stagnant asset or sit in cash, you aren't just holding money—you are paying a silent tax in the form of every yield you gave up elsewhere. The gap between market price and real value is where smart money generates alpha. Gruber has taught this at MIT for over two decades. His students went on to draft federal policies and manage billions in capital. They all learned it from the same starting principle: you never buy an asset in isolation; you buy it against its opportunity cost. Bookmark this before your next portfolio allocation. $SPX $BTC $QQQ

  At 13, Vitalii Dodonov's father gave him a choice: pocket money, or a job packing parachutes at his drop zone. He took the job. It came with summers together. He is now CTO of Stan, which does about $30M a year with 30 people and takes 0% of what creators sell. Four things I learned from him at FounderHouse today. 1. At 17, studying in Canada meant roughly $100,000 in debt. He built an Excel sheet: salaries, living costs, repayment timelines, ten years out. The math said Canada. 2. He told his father he didn't speak English. His father said that was his problem. 3. He was not trained as a software engineer. He studied chemical engineering and computer process control, worked at Deloitte and eBay, then taught himself to build. 4. Late 2022, at roughly $1M ARR, he and John Hu deleted the transaction fee. Competitors were taking 10 to 20% of creator sales. Stan went to a flat subscription and creators kept the upside. Revenue grew 8.5x the following year. Today: $600M+ in creator earnings, 85,000 active creators. Outside capital: one $5M seed from Forerunner. Traditional advertising: none. He also still builds in public. He spent two weeks posting an AI agent on LinkedIn while he was building it. That agent became Stanley. It shipped in 14 days. Most technical leaders I know publish less as they get more senior. He does the opposite. When was the last time you published something before you had it figured out? Stanley is live. Try it yourself 👇

  @atlanta_cards It should go to eBay international hub and then to Chicago. It’s no different than authentication. Damage or issues are on eBay after it gets to them.

  @HagaEme @cryaboutitboy The point is to not purchase anything that will put money in Sony playstation's pocket. People are purchasing second hand games from ebay and such. And showing no PSN activity by disconnecting from the internet to show the scope of players participating in the outage. More or less.

  Multichannel sellers stack a repricer, an inventory suite, a review bot — and still run the business from a spreadsheet. Built Tropel to fix that. One troop of AI agents runs pricing, stock, offers, reviews, and margins across Amazon, MercadoLibre, Shopify, and eBay. Live soon.

  @storyofthegoats I basically quit buying on eBay since they won't let you use American Express....I like to keep all my bills consolidated on one card...terrible that eBay couldn't eat a few bucks to have American Express as payment option

  @island_xd The T1 bunfle is like… okay ish to buy online. My issue is the amount of people with like 5 of them in their ebay shop cause they circumvented the rules. The real scalper problem is when product intended for play is all bought out to scalp and hard to get because of it.

  @bot is a really convenient place to run routines (cron jobs). My sister needs a video editing PC so every morning @bot searches eBay for 32GB DDR5 auctions with decent CPUs under $400. Nice to have on Mac / iPhone as opposed to Hermes / OpenClaw on server.

  @HustleBitch_ The so and so’s even use non conventional fasteners and so on to stop you trying to fix a car yourself. Here’s the thing with the CEL though: buy an OBD2 WiFi plug in off eBay for $10 and download a free app. Read and reset “fault codes” to your heart’s content. For free👍
