Apologies for the earlier error message—that was a technical issue, not an evasion. Your Mayer China 461 plate shows a rare 1950s atomic abstract pattern in black and gold. Extensive searches (eBay, Etsy, Pinterest) found no exact matches or sales; similar pieces go for $20-50. Try r/Antiques on Reddit for community input.

And yes that’s my eBay last sell. I use a template just default to description as “good to excellent” but condition default to near mint. Had pics of front and back. Sold for 255 and didn’t pass authentication because of the edge issue. Have since changed how I list condition! So yeah Eagle fan deal here.

@RoadworkUK I have box or two full of old Max Powers lying around somewhere, from Issue 2 to about Issue 100. Should really drag them out and put on eBay.

@CardPurchaser @ebay a joke NO need to waste time trying on feedback 800 transactions in 8-wks, handful of issues like damages, missing components (supply orders) from power seller, blocked me, only 1 of 8 sour deals refunded Buying bulk a nightmare b/c cheap sellers use team bag, dings occur

@FedEx @FedEx Dear FedEx, I have an issue. I bought an item on ebay, the item arrived late, so, when it came I refused to accept it and told the delivery agent to return it back to the sender so that I could receive my refund. There's no tracking updates to that effect. Why?

I guess this is a growing pain, but something is starting to happen to me that I had never experienced before: people abusing ecommerce platforms’ policies (like eBay) to get a device and then lying about how they received it (claiming it arrived broken), or simply reporting the purchase as fraudulent. It’s a real shame because the retro community has always been wonderful in this regard—very understanding and collaborative. This is why, until now, I never worried about verifying their claims; I would simply respond to their requests and send out replacement units. Besides, in my experience, “the customer is always right” and the retro customer is very honest—you can trust them 100% without question. Well… it seems that “100%” is no longer the case. And honestly, there’s nothing I can do in the short term. They win because they know the rules of the ecommerce playing field inside out, and there’s no way to fight it. On top of that, you get negative feedback that ends up penalizing you. Obviously, they’re permanently banned from buying any of my products or receiving any kind of support. That will probably lead to some unpleasant posts in certain community forums—at which point I’ll have no problem publicly explaining exactly why.

@Katsbigopinion2 that jewelry really should stay IN the RF (working) family, so it can keep being passed down for all to see, H/M and family don't work for the RF are not in the UK and it should never be considered. M should never be trusted with any of the jewelry it would end up on EBay

My eBay item came from Amazon again… Barring a few items here and there I really try and avoid them now. Requires more hunting about to find suppliers and probably a bit more shipping cost but it’s a small price to pay when they’re both terrible now.

@kane I personally had my car broken into in Oakland, more than 15 times. I stopped counting at 15, and just started buying extra windows on eBay anytime I saw a good deal. It was basically every 2-4 months, sometimes they wouldn't even steal stuff they would just smash to look

There’s an invisible supply chain feeding every major online marketplace: Amazon, Etsy, eBay, even niche platforms like Poshmark or StockX. It runs on third-party vendors, arbitrageurs scooping up factory drops, and small-scale operators flipping wholesale lots. But there’s a choke point nobody’s capitalizing on: rejected shipments. Here’s how it works. Every day, warehouses reject pallets. Could be damaged packaging, shipping delays, incomplete orders, or just a SKU mismatch. These rejected lots often default to local auction houses or liquidation scrapers, where they get sold at pennies on the dollar. Most of it’s perfectly good inventory, but unfit for the original buyer. What you’re building: a rejected inventory surveillance system. The goal isn’t to outbid everyone at auctions – it’s to predict where, when, and what type of inventory will get rejected so you can intervene before it hits the open market. Start by scraping databases of repeat offenders in the supply chain. Customs violations, non-compliant importers, truckers reporting distribution center delays. Layer that with public data from port arrivals and warehouse zoning permits – which businesses are scaling too fast? Which ones are contracting? Any mismatch means instability in the network. Now add your local auction scrapes: manually review what’s flooding the liquidation houses. Identify lot patterns. Certain SKUs? Seasonal goods? Vendors with aging warehouse leases? This becomes your signal. Overlay Layers 1 & 2: who’s consistently offloading vs. who’s just having an outlier bad month. Identify the triggers – is it weather? Legislation? Bad projections? Build triggers (alerts for repeat SKUs from your scraped insight) into a lightweight dashboard. Once you’re live, activate the “preemption” step. Cold reach out to suppliers the moment your model predicts instability ("Hey, I noticed you might have issues with [X delivery SKU]. What’s your plan here? I specialize in offloading misfit pallets.") Align tighter and faster arbitrage/sourcing than latent bidders another week out touching liquidation auctions. Scale operations. A single such pre intercept claim of pallets/SKUs pre redistribution can overlap at inserts ~$!$$$ widget copies before aggregator exclusion.

Does anyone understand the logic behind putting down a large bid on an item on something like eBay with, say multiple days remaining? Like, aren't you only screwing yourself and everyone else by doing so?

Remember in the early 2000’s when your car stereo wasn’t where you wanted it, you and some buddies bought some speakers off EBay, an amp, and spent 8 hours with your friends older brothers friend and you just ramped the system up to an obnoxious level? What happened to those men? Did they all get weak and turn their lives into complaining about **** instead of taking responsibility or fixing a problem? I admit, I complain about the complainers. Soon I’ll stop that. Just makes me laugh.

@DizzleAZ @CardPurchaser @eBay Can’t say the same about USPS.. I’ve only had issues with USPS. I understand stuff happens but when it says it’s there and it isn’t, there isn’t much you can do about it but put in ticket but it usually comes within a week after it says delivered from my experience, if it wasn’t

@brewmeone @BarrySanders The 2023 Donruss Optic Green parallel /5 is ultra-rare—only five made worldwide. No current eBay listings for Barry Sanders' version, but monitor auctions, PSA pop reports, or collector forums like Blowout Cards. What's your strategy to track it down?

@Newmdawg @nut_history It used to be on DVD 📀. At some point, I loaned out my copy and never got it back. Last year, I tracked down a bootleg copy on eBay so that I could show it to my son. I wish HBO would remaster it and put it on Max.
