  I broke down and bought a copy of The Potential Daleks. This boxset was clearly a big seller because it's hard to find for cheap. If you look on ebay it's already going for $200+! Luckily I found mine at @alienentertain, but it was still $85. Good grief! Could be worse I suppose.

  @RobTheAlphV @Topps Laurence on Ebay for 10k Bjon on there at $2300 ( not a terrible price imo)

  @GoatBeardzDD Nice write up! I agree with the majority of your thinking. However, I don't think increasing the share offer is the issue or the problem. $125 was extremely generous when it was made. And a 20% premium (at today's price) is a very nice bump for a company whose future share price is very unpredictable. This fight has nothing to do what's good for the shareholders. eBay management and the board have an insane salary package, and they don't care about the share price because they hardly own any shares. They have little to gain letting this deal go through at any share price. They have their overpaid pay packages to lose and that's what they're trying to hang on to. This only goes through if the institutional shareholders of eBay force the eBay board to accept the buyout. But they're going to fight tooth and nail, because they don't personally benefit from the acquisition.

  @kyosuke_tbf2020 Sometimes bad additives can ruin bed adhesion. I've had filament manufacturers on Ebay and Amazon mix additives meant for PLA in ABS, and vice versa. Best advice, raise bed temp 5c at a time until you get something that lays down.

  MIT teaches auction theory with 40 minutes of integrals, then throws out one bar-room example that quietly ruins every bid you'll ever make. 2 men, 2 wallets, 1 auction. Google built its ad business on the broken version of it, and the honest version has been sitting on a shelf since 1961. Start in the bar. 2 strangers, each with his own wallet in his hand, neither one opening it. They agree to auction the combined cash inside both. Highest bidder pays his bid and takes everything in the pot. You know your own $60. You know nothing about his. So every number you say out loud is built from half the facts and a guess about a stranger. Here's the trap, and it takes a second to land. He is only still bidding when he thinks the pot is fat. He drops out the moment he knows his own wallet is thin. So every round you win is a round the other guy was glad to hand you. That's the winner's curse. You don't win because you read the room better than anyone else. You win because you were the most wrong person at the table, and the auction sorted for exactly that. Oil firms bid on offshore drilling rights this way. Nobody knows what's under the seabed. The company that wins the block is the company that guessed highest, and the company that guessed highest is usually the company that guessed wrong. Government procurement runs on the same math. So do apartment bidding wars, and so does eBay at 11 PM when 3 people want the same lens. Now the money part. Google's search page has several ad slots, and the top one gets clicked far more than the 5th. Advertisers bid per click, not per view, so each one is really reporting a private number: what a single click is worth to them. For years the rule was simple. The 5th highest bid takes the 5th slot and pays the 6th bid. GSP. Generalized second price. It sounds clean and it isn't, because losing here doesn't mean going home with nothing. It means going home with a worse slot. So nobody states their real number. Everyone shades down, and then spends millions a year on software whose entire job is guessing what the other 40 bidders are about to do. An auction where the optimal move is to misreport what you know. The fix was published in 1961. Vickrey first, then Clarke, then Groves. VCG. You don't pay your bid. You pay the damage you caused: exactly what everyone else lost because you walked in the door. And the property that makes it beautiful is stronger than "usually works." Under VCG, telling the truth is your best move no matter how the other 40 bidders behave. Not on average. Always. It holds for any resource, not just ad slots. Vickrey solved it in 1961. The ad market spent 20 years bidding around him.

  Q1’s $389.6M net income included a $268.4M unrealized gain on the eBay derivative position. GameStop’s adjusted net income was $179.3M. So if Q2 says: NET INCOME: $500 MILLION!!! I’m immediately scrolling down. Likewise, if GAAP net income looks disappointing because ->>

  I had to consult the Oracles (ai chatbots) to figure out the proper spell (prompt) to use in order to summon the demon (ebay customer service employee (actually quite nice)) to solve the issue Looks like everything will be resolved now. Let it be known that you CAN access a human on ebay customer support, if you're a powerful enough wizard

  @mov_axbx Power. That is what this boils down to. The Spark will stay in the 2 digits, while this one gets to hair dryer level. Processors alone at idle 400w TDP. And there is NO WAY you are getting a server with 6TB of memory for $500. A 4TB model on ebay right now is selling for $88,000+.

  @FFVIINovels Ah the pixel models. Why do I feel like they went on sale once again down few years ago directly from the SE online store? I bet they can still be found online from individual resells like eBay and such.

  4/ eBay tables, side hustles, and garage sellers hit this when rate cards flip mid-year. The fix is multi-carrier quotes on the real box. Not a trip to the landscaping aisle.

  @GilliverJamie Yes that’s the one, if you click bids you can see eBay keep removing fake bids so the price is constantly up and down it’s a mess

  @MakotoesLover If you ever do want to fix it I’d try capacitors and get a belt kit on ebay

  Day 196 Total sales: $374.99 eBay earnings: $180.35 Buy cost (COG): $37.40 Net profit: $142.95 ROI: 382% Not every day goes exactly as planned. Today included a cancellation on a higher dollar order before it shipped, but that's part of the business. The good news is I still have the inventory & can sell it again. The biggest takeaway after nearly 200 days is that consistency beats perfection. A canceled order doesn't erase the work you've put in. A slow day doesn't define your business. And one good day doesn't mean you can take your foot off the gas. The focus remains the same Keep listing. Refresh older inventory. Adjust stale pricing. Source quality products. Let the numbers compound over time. Every profitable day, even the imperfect ones, moves the business forward. On to Day 197. 📦💪

  I say, if you want to know how the economy is doing, go to eBay - I had to go to eBay just to see if the toilet paper issue was getting better. Everyone has to have good hygiene

  NEW: 💰 Automated scalper bots now outnumber human buyers 10 to 1 on DDR5 memory listings. Bad bots accounted for 91% of traffic reaching one retailer's DDR5 product pages, polling listings every 6.5 seconds. Average 32GB DDR5-6000 kits surged from $72 last year to $392 on PCPartPicker. The cheapest 128GB DDR5-6400 kit tracked reached $3,399, ten times its record low pricing. On eBay, G.Skill 32GB kits listed for $836.54 against a $429.99 retail price. "Traffic analytics are probably understating the problem significantly." — Jérôme Segura Retail PC builders won't see normal memory pricing until at least 2027 while enterprise buyers soak up available DRAM production.
