  There seems to be a lot of broken #Dyson on #eBay for sale. Why are they broken, aren’t they very well made, they shouldn’t be broken at the high price they are sold for.

  @pokemartalerts Should apply to all new sets amount of times you see PC preorders go live within 5 mins eBay are flooded with confirmed preorder listings. Ban private seller accounts shouldn’t doing this combat the issue of scalping

  @premiercards_2 @BallHawks_Cards You can resolve the issue by resharing your tracking details and then waiting for eBay to step in! I never said ignore it lol.

  Got new headlamp assemblies ordered for my truck today. I really hope they fit (Ebay... I've had mixed results with them). The driver side assembly is held on by 1 bolt. Having issues with the low beam. Hopefully this will fix all of it. Also straightened a quarter panel I didn't know was bent up.

  @scallys3 @Whatnot Whatnot is live auction so I wouldn't recommend selling on there! eBay you could try. I do fine on vinted but I know some others struggle and have had issues

  @eBay Why doesn't eBay have a single customer service rep with whom I can talk? Their pervasive use of AI to ward off customer issues and concerns troubles me greatly. I guess I will need to ask for my money back with my credit card, since eBay so effectively seeks to block me from any real, human interaction. It is too bad. I always liked eBay. But when you need them, they simply are not there.

  Cool beanz.. the seller (on eBay) sent me an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. I love these @PelicanProducts Vault V100’s for smaller (yet very expensive) things that you absolutely have to protect from the “elements. Especially a green one to differentiate between my bino’s and “other” items. I make a slit in the top piece of foam & stick a brand new 2nd Gen #Airtag in EVERY ONE I buy so if I misplace them or they get stolen.. I can track it down in a few clicks. I also buy the 20gram silica packs & stick two to three (4x in my ACSS scope box) to keep whatever’s inside nice & dry despite the Houston humidity. #ta

  The professor who designed America's health insurance system covering 330 million people teaches this class for free on YouTube. His students have gone on to advise governments, run hedge funds, and build policy at the World Bank. This is lecture 1. In 1776 Adam Smith asked why diamonds cost more than water. Water keeps you alive. Diamonds do not. The demand for water is enormous. The demand for diamonds is small. By any rational logic, water should cost more. He was wrong about what he was measuring. This is Jonathan Gruber, MIT 14.01, Microeconomics. The man who built the mathematical model behind Obamacare and Romneycare. The man who testified before Congress six times. He now teaches the most foundational idea in economics to anyone willing to watch. Smith's error was looking at only half the picture. He saw demand. He missed supply. Water is everywhere. Diamonds are rare. When supply is low enough, even something nobody needs can cost more than something everyone needs. That single insight became the foundation of every economic model ever built - and every career in finance, policy, and consulting that depends on it. He opens with opportunity cost. Every decision you make has a cost. Not just the money you spend. The thing you did not do instead. If you buy a rose for $3, you gave up a slice of pizza and a Coke. If the price rises to $4, the opportunity cost rises too. You want fewer. That is why demand curves slope downward. Not because of some law. Because of what you gave up. Then supply. A farm can grow roses or something else. When the price of roses is low, the farmer grows something else. When the price rises high enough, roses become the better choice. The opportunity cost of not growing roses becomes too high. That is why supply curves slope upward. Then the equilibrium. Two equations, two unknowns. Demand: quantity equals 1,800 minus 400 times price. Supply: quantity equals 200 times price. Set them equal. You get 600 roses at $3 each. At that price, buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to sell. The system has come to rest. Then the kidney on eBay. Someone auctioned one in the 1990s. Bidding reached $5 million before eBay shut it down. The positive question: why did the price get so high? Easy. Enormous demand, almost no supply. The normative question: should we be allowed to sell our organs? The market delivers the right quantity. It does not deliver fairness. Watch the moment he says economics is fundamentally a right-wing science. Then says he is a left-wing guy. Then explains why both things can be true at the same time. A policy analyst I know rewatched this before their first week at a government economics office. Said it was the first time supply and demand felt like a lens rather than a diagram. Free on YouTube, MIT OpenCourseWare, Creative Commons license. bookmark this and watch later - after this lecture every price you see will feel like a supply and demand equation waiting to be solved

  @MerrickAnd Huh that’s weird. I got these two from two completely different eBay sellers. Perhaps it’s just a common factory error. But damn that also means I feasibly could have ended up with two of these engines with opposite-facing magnets to each other without having to switch anything!

  Caller: “Dave… I’m 16. I’m making $50–80k a month dropshipping and flipping on Amazon/eBay. I’ve got over $300k sitting in PayPal right now. But I’m hiding all of it from my mom because she’s traditional and I know she’ll freak out and make me stop.” Dave: “Son, that income is impressive as hell. If you were my kid I’d tell you to keep running it while the window is open. But the secret? That part’s not sitting right with me. Find one adult you both respect, sit down, and have the grown-up conversation. And while this money is printing, start stacking real skills and education, because internet trends don’t last forever. You’re crushing it right now. Don’t let the lie become the thing that sinks you.”

  Marketplaces are eating independent brands because senior operators cost more than the brands can afford to hire. We built a company that fixes that one problem. Clarity, control, real execution on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay — without the agency markup.

  @RNGingy I’d just not buy from anyone. Don’t support it. FOMO is a hell of a drug. Pokemon center came out and said, to eBay atleast, to take down some pre-orders as no distributors have sent out products yet and all product in hands should be considered stolen since street date is 9/16
