  @KieraDiss Here's the problem, couriers aren't chosen by the customer, if places like ebay had a drop-down list of 5 or 6 couriers to choose from, companies like Evri would be out of business within a year, the rest would be forced to stop treating customers like **** or lose business.

  @sneedweb This story is just beginning: 1. Buy eBay 2. Implement strategy, cut cost, upgrade platform, maximize cashflow/shareholder value 3. Use excess cashflow to pay down debt, acquire, buybacks and take positions in leading companies to get exposure to AI, space and beyond

  I searched for something on YouTube on how to do something and the first 10 things that popped up were all sponsored eBay listings and no video. I don't even know how far I gotta scroll down to find what I want because the real results looked like ads too. Disabled YouTube lmfao

  This is a serious issue. Ok i understand the Pokemon botting issues, theyre popular and hold value. But now you have people botting @MapleStory’s closed beta test of classic world registration, and selling the botted accounts on ebay for $800. This shouldnt even have a botting issue as when yhe test ends all game data is lost. WTF

  The leaked Coca Cola formula For more than 140 years, Coca Cola has claimed its secret recipe has been locked away inside a secure vault in Atlanta. But historian Mark Pendergrast says he uncovered what could be the original 1886 formula created by pharmacist John Pemberton. According to Pendergrast, the handwritten recipe was passed down through the family of Frank Robinson the man who named Coca Cola and designed its iconic script. The story gets even more interesting. After a bitter dispute with Pemberton, Robinson allegedly made his own copy of the formula, hoping to sell it to another buyer. Decades later, the document became the center of a divorce battle before eventually ending up in the historian’s hands. Another alleged Coca Cola formula later surfaced on eBay with a $5 million asking price. The leaked formula: For 36 Gallons 216 lbs of sugar 18 gallons of water 29 oz of lime juice 29 oz of citric acid 18 oz caffeine 29 oz flavouring 3 quarts of colouring 15 quarts [fluid extract] coca Coca Cola flavouring 1 1/2 quarts of alcohol 12 oz [fluid extract] nutmegs 19 oz extract of vanilla 13 d [illegible “drops”?] oil lemon 10 d oil cinnamon 12 d oil nutmeg 12 d oil coriander 12 d oil neroli One of the most surprising details is that early Coca Cola reportedly contained traces of *******, which historians say were removed around 1903. Coca Cola rejected the claims, saying that many have tried to uncover the secret recipe, but the real formula remains safely locked away in its Atlanta vault. So was the leaked formula the real thing or does Coca Cola’s greatest secret remain untold?

  My day so far, and its only 12:15 My daughter has wanted a lilypad case for her samsung. If you don't know, lilypad is only made for iPad. After 3 mos of buying different versions hoping to find one that fit, then finding a knock off on ebay specifically for android, 3 wks of shipping, i woke up to a notice it had arrived. I ran outside bare foot praying they didnt throw it over the fence making the dogs think it was a treat that must be devoured! Myah wasn't awake yet so I sat there debating to wake her up bc she was gonna be so stoked! Finally she wakes up, I give it to her, and watch her face for the moment of recognition and pure joy. What i got was utter disappointment, and immediate tears. I thought it was because its a knock off, and got mad, trying to explain for the 100th time lilypad is made for iPad, and shes not getting an iPad in this lifetime. That landed as well as a fart in church. Kevin was not home of course. So I let the meltdown ride. When he got home, he looked at the offending tech gear and said "it doesn't have googly eyes, the iPad one had googly eyes" He then went and calmed her down, confirmed yes, googly eyes are the culprit. So I got to searching for googly eyes. Michael's of course was the hero. Although, something as simple as one set of 2.5" googly eyes, its never that damn simple when you live this life. Longer story short, the $2.99 googly eyes got delivered directly from Michael's, within 2 hrs, for $15. They are being glued on now. Now the issue is....she already rejected the case. Even IF she's happy with the googly eyes, there is a real possibility the item is now permanently spoiled. Only time will tell. This, is what it is really like to raise a special needs person who cannot communicate effectively, and needs you to interpret every aspect of life. Sometimes I knock it out of the park, sometimes...not so much.

  I will clarify that apparently normal math says radiation can't cause this melting, and as said I do not have the case or front/clock back anymore, I do have the electronics and motor but I keep checking, there's no beta/gamma, so again unless it was alpha, but first picture is of it, second is of the one off of eBay, third is how I had them initially in my garage and is the best side by side with the clock that has radium but can I ask if there is a possibility I have deliberately not been given information?, there is more I can say on this but, my guess is that it almost looks like the one that did it may have sat on top of the one with radium? Also I don't know if they were plugged in at all or how long, which I think might make it worse but does it almost look like the radiation was attracted to the clock? If it was on top of should mean a reduced chance of radon(there is a thought on that as well(not blank)) and I don't know ventilation but also then alpha should have issues making to through the plastic?(Correct?), which points to beta gamma again. There's the option of just indirect heat to melt it but it still looks weird, also again nothing visible on the electronics of heat and nothing there but the clock. I have thought of things from the factory? Or what the exact "lighted dial" means, there was a clear?, portion I would have thought was LED but could it have been more?(There's no way there's tritium right? I didn't turn it on, and also wouldn't explain the melting?). I have also thought of cigarette residue, but I feel it still wouldn't explain I'm assuming a dose of anything from 0.25-0.5Sv, if it has to be done at one time and for there to be a timeline. I also have other thoughts of "how military connected" or otherwise this is because can you spot at least one more interesting connection?

  Good evening🤠 folks, on this lovely night with the temperature cooling down nicely! I'm glad the leaking bathtub faucet is fixed; it was a pain in the wallet to see all that hot water drip down the drain. Next, an unauthorized eBay transaction in San Jose, California! What next?

  RAMaggedon is real! The current console gaming industry is scary — it’s on the edge of real trouble. AI companies and data centers are vacuuming up so much RAM and high-bandwidth memory that Xbox and PlayStation are getting crushed on costs, prices, and sales. Key facts right now (mid-2026): - AI data centers are projected to consume roughly 70% of the world’s memory chip production this year (IDC / Wall Street Journal reports). The three big memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) have shifted capacity heavily toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI accelerators because those customers pay far more. - Console memory and storage costs have already jumped more than 2.5×. Microsoft expects them to roughly double again by fall 2027. - Xbox price hikes: Microsoft just announced another round (effective August) — $100–$150 increases. Series S 512GB goes to $499, 1TB to $599; Series X 1TB models hit $750–$800. This is the third major hike in a little over a year. Consoles are now 30–40% more expensive than a year ago. - PlayStation price hikes: Sony already raised PS5 prices by as much as $150 earlier in 2026 (standard models around $650, Pro near $900). - Sales collapse: In May 2026 (U.S. Circana data), PS5 unit sales dropped 58% year-over-year — lowest May total in 25 years. Xbox Series hardware recorded its worst May on record. Average price paid for a new console hit $502 (up 14% from last year). - Next-gen hardware is in limbo: Reports indicate Sony is considering delaying the PS6 successor as far as 2028 or even 2029 because of the memory costs. Analysts warn the next Xbox/PS could launch at $900–$1,200 if the crunch continues. Overall console shipments are forecast to fall ~19.5% in 2026. The old console model — subsidized hardware while making money on games/services — is breaking because the same silicon that used to get cheaper over a generation is now being bid up by AI hyperscalers who can pay almost any price. Microsoft is on both sides of this, with their huge AI data-center spender and being the Xbox maker, which only makes the conflict more obvious… and I can tell you Xbox is losing in this internal battle, big time! Gamers are already feeling it in higher prices, lower sales volume, longer current-gen life cycles, and uncertainty about when (or at what price) the next boxes arrive. Console games are expected to hit $100 and that’s not even a physical game either. RAMaggedon is real, and consoles are one of the biggest casualties so far. The thumbnail of this post was made with AI. It took less than a minute and looked better than most manual edits. Some people will call it “AI slop.” Those are the same people with their heads buried in the sand while the rest of the world adapts. Call them what they are: digital Luddites — proudly getting left behind. But this is the real problem (not the Luddites). AI is pretty amazing to use. It’s a massive time-saver and can achieve results that only a handful of big movie / gaming studios could previously afford. Now every home computer owner has the power to create — because of AI. I’ve seen comments on X saying the AI bubble will burst just like the video game crash of the 1980s or the .com bubble of the early 2000s. Realistically, that’s not going to happen this time. We have to accept that. So where does this leave console gaming? It’s not dead yet, but it will be very soon. Which is really sad. There has been a massive shift to GeForce NOW — NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service — which now has over 30 million users streaming PC games from NVIDIA’s servers. Is this the direction gaming is heading? I must admit, even though I’ve owned PlayStations (the PS2 is still the best PlayStation in my opinion) and Xboxes, the Xbox Series One S was the peak for me because it has a Blu-ray player. Our household (still uses 3 of them) likes playing physical games and movies, and that lets the whole family do exactly that. Personally though, I’ve already made the move 100% back to my Commodore 64 and Amiga. The combined game library is probably 30,000+ titles. The gameplay is often superior to many new games, and the fun level? Yeah, that’s usually higher too. Time Extension (February 2025): “14 Percent Of North Americans Still Play Gaming Systems Released Before 2000.” That works out to roughly 26–35 million people, depending on the exact population figure used. Let's take a step further, that’s an estimated 80–120 million people worldwide who have moved to retro gaming. That number will surely double as the console RAMaggedon escalates. For Commodore fans we have options: original hardware on eBay (or in your attic), TheC64 from Retro Games Ltd, the Commodore 64 Ultimate from the newly formed Commodore Corporation (and it’s pretty amazing), and the upcoming TheA1200 from RGL later this year. The cost is lower and there are games still being made for Commodore 64 and Amiga 40 years later. It is a vibrant and exciting time to be a retrogamer and the appeal will continue to grow. Have you made the move yet?

  @seokrirangs StubHub is a marketplace, like eBay for tickets. sellers set every price, not us. some list high and then lower it. that's exactly why prices in that section have already come down since this was posted.

  @BabyD1111229 Stupidest part was I could buy Trane boards on eBay for under $200. Can’t remember if they were new or used. But nothing happened to that board that I couldn’t diagnose and fix myself.

  @MarshaCollier USPS rates are very much defined. the problem i would assume is with their shipping software. I'd wager some old flow is not superceding the newest rates and ship method. with eBay's volume I'd wager they are at the best tier for negotiated rates and pocketing some of the difference per order.
