  @unusual_whales The only ways I can see this GME-eBay deal happening: 1. GameStop loads up on massive new debt (they’ve already lined up $20B financing). 2. GameStop issues a huge amount of new shares — heavily diluting current shareholders and handing significant ownership to eBay holders. 3. eBay has been quietly shopping itself and GameStop is forcing a deal no one else wants. None of these are good outcomes for shareholders on either side. Am I missing a realistic fourth path here?

  @StivtheTalisman @importsbyjustus You hating man, I’ve been buying and using refurb phones from eBay for the longest time without a problem. My current phone is a refurbished Pixel 8 pro which I got more than a year ago and it‘s still perfect.

  @CheckOutMyCards My Ebay account is linked and my autopay is enabled and I've bought a lot on the COMC account before with no issues. This time my item hasn't shown up so it could be paid for and transferred into my account.

  @bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx if you buy on eBay the transaction is not complete until the seller delivers the product to you, the seller is responsible for any issues in shipping

  The problem is "ooh it's on for £50 on eBay..." Yes to a national audience and that may not be the price it actually sells at. Plus eBay sellers have fees and maybe vat.

  Be careful listing anything on Vinted .. i have used ebay 20 years and I always package things very well. If damaged in transit then they cover me and the buyer... whereas @vinted do not do this. Never listing anything with this app again. Terrible service.

  A broken laser pointer. On Labor Day weekend in 1995, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar launched the site (originally called AuctionWeb) from his living room as a personal project. He listed his own broken laser pointer, which he had bought for about $30 but stopped working after a couple of weeks, to test the platform. He was upfront in the listing that it didn’t work, even with new batteries. It sold for $14.83 to a buyer named Mark Fraser (a collector of broken laser pointers, according to the legend). The sale happened shortly after the site went live on September 3, 1995. This quirky first transaction is often cited as the perfect symbol for eBay: turning something worthless into value through online auctions. Does anyone still use eBay?

  @Addison95813086 @bashmcalister His signature is worth nothing. An Eevee he signed sold for $3.60 on 28 March on eBay. If the kids really are chasing dollars, what's the issue? Good on them for developing their entrepreneurial flair. I could even understand testing their smarts a little with a 'not quite worth it' trade. But that's not what he did. He mugged them. He saw his chance to trade something of value for something of no value with a little kid and his eyes lit up.

  @Fruitloops1984 I am aware of several methods eBay could employ if they wished to slow down or deter GameStop (those you mentioned). My comment was in regards to Cohen’s motivation. Some suggest he is not serious. I disagree.

  Its impressive the @openclaw frenzy. I'm looking for a Mini PC or something to run a simple home server instead of a VPS and Mac Mini was a good choice. On Ebay a 6y/o used Mac Mini 400-500$, and a Macbook Air M1 also 16gb for 200-300$ 👀 Same chip!

  @thehollylin1 All fair criticisms. I dont grade, and with prices and wait times, I really have no desire to grade. I sell primarily on Mercari, with a handful of listings on eBay. I wonder if the wrong back cards could fetch a few extra $'s as they are errors and some folks collect those.

  Retail returns are a $644B problem. Liquidation pallets are the opportunity. Built FlipDeck — buy bulk returns at 10-90% off retail, resell across eBay, Amazon, Facebook. The market is there. The margins are there. Now build.

  @robevoirtcg @kirstyn I wish eBay would ban reselling sealed product. Like only allow card singles to be sold. Would solve a lot of problems

  🚨A FIRED SALES MANAGER ASKED CLAUDE HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM HOME. One month later, he reportedly made $10,765. No employees. No office. No fancy setup. Just AI tools and a simple service business. Here's the workflow: → Claude finds opportunities, researches markets, and identifies trends → Google Omni helps create video content → eBay is used to advertise and sell services The idea wasn't to build the next startup. It was to solve a problem businesses already pay for. In his first month, he reportedly completed 16+ client projects for: ✅ Course creators ✅ Marketing agencies ✅ Freelancers ✅ Startups ✅ AI companies ✅ Bloggers ✅ TikTok creators His minimum project price? $400. The interesting part isn't the income. It's how simple the model is: 1. Use AI to identify demand 2. Use AI to create deliverables 3. Sell the outcome to businesses No coding required. No huge audience required. No investors required. More people are discovering that AI isn't just a productivity tool. It's becoming a way to launch service businesses faster than ever before. The barrier to starting has never been lower. And the playbook is becoming increasingly obvious: Find demand. Use AI to increase output. Sell results. That's exactly what this guy did. 👇

  @kujofam It's kinda just been a slow burn on this. I went from having NO Code merch but lurked on eBay and etsy to find one after another always on lower priced ones. Alexia was really the only super expensive thing here. But yea. It's mostly eBay crazily enough. 🤷

  @Comedyorwat BINGO! All this BS about the twists and turns … it boils down to just this. He is using the same method he originally used on GME, tried to use on BBBY and now has learned a **** ton more and is better prepared to take the big fish out. eBay will belong to GameStop, soon.

  @trolanjames4 @stockx I appreciate it my G. Homie sent me the link. I got impatient and bought them from EBay last night. $330 out the door. I don’t mind paying a little extra for convenience but my problem is I have zero patience and I gotta do better. Thank you tho. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

  January 2024: selling random stuff on eBay. £300/month. Niched down. Built a Shopify store. Ran TikTok organic. December 2024: £22,000 in one month. Same effort. Better focus. That's it.

  @Chicken__Head Nothing against GME - I truly want to see Cohen take over eBay and believe he will do whatever necessary to get that done. And I'd love to see it. I sold on May 1 into the evening run up because 1) it presented a great profit opportunity for my $20ish cost basis and 2) the rumor of acquiring EBAY was likely to drop GME's price. It is a pretty normal dynamic in takeovers that the target price goes up, acquirer goes down. Finally, 3) it was not the 'buy a cheap cash-flowing business at a discount in a market crash' use of cash I had envisioned. Instead it is a "buy an expensive company at a premium while taking on an enormous amount of leverage and creating enormous execution risk." I think most $GME social mediua accounts sidestep, minimize or ignore the risk-side of the offer, which is par for the course for social media and why everyone acts confused why the price is coming down despite a great quarterly result. None of this means I will avoid re-buying $GME. It just means I am waiting for a good price (in my judgement) to minimize my risk and I figured it would come back down to close to $20 - we are almost there. Take profits, wait, re-buy. My normal M.O.

  @most_real_psymd @ChadSlimeBased What about thinking of it like this then? If someone shipped a product via ebay and it was stolen by the carrier, the seller would issue the buyer a refund and then the seller would have to go through the shipping carrier to get reimbursed. Isn't that similar in this case?

  @CultureCrave The movie might not have done well at the box office, but we do get some cool promotional materials. Hopefully, somebody will save theirs and we’ll get a second shot on eBay to buy one down the road.

  When most of us think GameStop, we think meme stock. Dead brand walking. Did you catch that they just posted the highest quarterly net income in company history? $389.6 million. 🤯 I spent 25 years running PE-backed brand turnarounds. What Ryan Cohen pulled off here is crazy impressive. So I dug into their latest earnings and found many of same plays I've run in nearly every turnaround I've been a part of. Some tips you can apply to your biz: 1. Cut once, cut deep. GameStop slashed SG&A by $800 million since 2021. 47%. Not "tightening our belts." A machete. Companies and culture dies from a thousand cuts because leadership doesn't have the stomach to make the hard call early. Cohen made it. SG&A went from 31% of revenue to 24% in 1 year. 2. Kill your losers. GameStop closed over 1,000 stores in 18 months. Divested Canada entirely. Divesting France. Operators cut the limbs to save the body. Every underperforming store was consuming cash and management attention. Gone. 3. Follow the signal. Collectibles went from 29% of revenue to 42% in one year. Up 65% YoY while hardware and software declined. They found the one category with margin expansion, customer enthusiasm, and growth. Then they poured fuel on it. Too many brands spread resources evenly across every product line. Find what's working. Double down. 4. Build a fortress balance sheet. GameStop is sitting on $9.7 billion in cash and liquid assets. Now, a lot of that came from selling equity during the meme price spike times. You don't have that option. But the principle holds: cash is oxygen. Every turnaround I've ever run started with "how do we get to positive cash flow in 90 days?" You can't make bold moves from a position of weakness. 5. Turn your liabilities into assets. GameStop just submitted a bid to buy eBay. Sounds crazy until you hear the thesis: use 1,600 retail stores as fulfillment, authentication, and live commerce nodes for the world's largest collectibles marketplace. The best turnaround operators don't just cut. They reframe what the company actually is. I'm not saying go buy GameStop stock. I have no idea if it's a good bet or not. My point is whether you're running a $5M brand or a $500M one, thinking like a turnaround operator is helpful not just when things are broken. Always. The best time to fix a company is before it needs fixing.
