Gamestopchads.....WE WON.
>>738159319>"If I'm going down I'm taking you with me"
they are going to actually ruin ebay holy shit
hold
>>738159319Where did GameStop get that kind of money?
>>738159319How does GameStop even have that kind of money? They have been losing business for years. There has to be a money laundering scheme here.
>>738160093they don'tthey're worth about 1/4 of ebayprobably some saudi faggots footing the bill
>>738160160>Saudi Aww look who can't say kikes
>>738159319GameStop used to be called Ebay games in Canada so it's fitting.
>>738160147whoa you just described the stock market. turns out psyopping the populace into tying their retirements to the stock market only made the rich richer
>>738160160I can see that causing a lot of damage to the second hand market with how strict saudis are and I mostly buy my stuff second hand.
so gamestop is a holdings company now? I mean the actual brick and mortar stores have to be not even relevant to their portfolio anymore
>>738159319Wasn't gamestop bankrupt? Ebay being assraped by amzn is a given but at least they have the chink mafia gibbs.
>>738159319This coming from the company that tried "weed bros amirite?" as advertising a few weeks back.
Ebay will turn into just a Buy It Now website with heavily inflated prices if this happens.
>>738160241Old people doomed us all.
Anyone who would accept that deal at eBay should be blacklisted from business jobs for life
>>738159553eBay has been shit for years. Allowing the Chinese was a grave mistake.
>>738160507ebay's stock price was $100 before the news of this broke up, it's now at almost $120 and will probably got higher, stock holders want this deal.
>>738160147They bought 700 million dollars worth of calls, if they exercise those options they'll have a large stake in Ebay, with voting rights they could negotiate a merger. There's still a possibility of them simply diluting their shares anyways, it can take weeks before any actual information on how this plays out.
>>738160343Every US company is a holdings company now. Nobody actually does anything anymore, they just buy out brands and then outsource all the work to Chinese and Indians.
>>738160583>stock holders want to kill ebayMust be part of the you will own nothing plan.
>>738160649nah, they just want to profit off a sinking ship.
>>738159319I thought gaystop died, how do they have this kind of money?
>>738159319this is all PSA's doing btw they are trying to get a monopoly on this shit
who the fuck still uses ebay? its just scalper shit
>>738160690psa is backing them
>>738159319They can't make it any worse.
>>738160668I have to wonder what it is about buying a company and killing it that is more profitable than actually running that company. Tossing Warner Bros. around while continually raping it made the ones that bought it even richer when they sold it. Explain the economics of this to me.
>>738160724the last time i used ebay was probably pre covid
>>738160708>>738160729Who?
>>738160783>Buy company with corporate money you manage >Extract all wealth from it into your personal bank account >Sell name of company to maximize profits>Leave company you were working for before consequences hit
>>738159319>20 billion in debtSo what happens if they can't pay?
>>738160783people who bet on it thinking it will make a big 180 and turn mad profits only for them to become exit liquidity.
>Kmart buying Sears flashbacks
>>738159319>COHEN>EDOMITE/jewYeah........ no thanks
>>738160708>>738160729>look it up>grading companyPokefags and Logan Paul should be publicly hanged.
>>738160816psa the grading company that grades pokemon cards
>>738160724I use it to buy old merch and dvds/blu rays. The new stuff sucks.
>>738159319Man when it did ebay become so worthless? Is it because everyone shops at amazon, ali express, and temu? I know it's a shit site filled with scalpers and scammers but I didn't know it got this bad.
>>738160189nta it actually is Saudi in most of these cases, like with EA, SNK, footing the bill for most of the Ellisons' acquisitions lately (Paramount, TikTok, Warner Bros), etc
>>738161076whats the last 3 dvd you bought? i really wanna know
>>738160514works on my machine
>>738160724It is great for buying anything that you can't find in retail stores, especially niche stuff. Amazon isn't the same nor has the same selection.If this takes down eBay, I don't know where I'll be able to buy some things. Mercari maybe? There really isn't anything like eBay at their scale in the US.
>>738161157craigslist? facebook marketplace?
Cohen is such a rich, trend-chasing dumbass that I bet his multi-billion dollar idea is cramming AI into Ebay.
>>738161190i don't want to get raped or stabbed
Why would ebay even accept the deal? Gamestop is fucking shit and they gain nothing from a merger.
>>738161190I can't find the same selection on craigslist when I have looked. Plus, isn't craigslist local only? Or is that not true? Maybe I should give it another chance.But with facebook: I need a facebook account for it, and its tied to your facebook account when you use it. I don't need everyone I know on social media knowing my hobbies, no thank you.
>>738161136I admittedly haven't bought too many in recent memory because I have been focusing on collecting vintage Pikmin and South Park things. The lastest one I bought was the older Drawn Together dvd box set with the board game.
>>738161190craiglist gets you mugged and I wouldn't touch anything owned by META with a 50 foot pole. Fuck them.
>>738161157Mercari has id verification just for buying and retarded fees. The second hand market is dead if ebay goes down. >>738161190I don't want to make a facebook or have to pick things up in person.
>>738160456thats what it is now. auctions are dead. no attention spans left anymore.
>>738160724It's usually pretty good for finding military surplus still, a lot of brick and mortar surp stores barely even carry anything ALICE related even these days. It's also pretty great for finding parts for old guns that aren't in stock in dedicated online retailers. You can build a whole M1 Garand off parts from Ebay short of the receiver.
>>738160160>>738161134You should pay more attention to the (((Saudi)))'s history.
>>738161772Anon this is not a Jews in the bread thing, there are actual kike hating Saudis attempting to muscle into my economy or creating clone exports of my culture for their profit.I don't hate them as much as the fucking kikes but I don't like em either, it's just a matter of fact.
>>738161924The Saudi royal family are shabbos goys.
>>738160724I use ebay to buy used books. I got a whole collection for a rare out of print light novel series for below the going rate (still over priced but also the lowest I'd ever seen it). pic relatedBesides that, most books I get are like half the price of a new copy and are usually in pretty decent shape.
>>738159319Ebay is still around??? It's like one dinosaur melting with another
>>738159319How does a brick and mortar store that sells nothing but Funko Pops have money
>>738159319they should purchase Best Buy
>>738159319reminder that if gamestop really does buy ebay, they'll also own TCGPlayer too
wasnt gamestop fucking dying a couple years ago where do they get off buying whole companies now
Is eBay in some kind of trouble? This month they've removed sellers fees at least here in Australia
>>738160783the CEO has a contract clause that says if he can increase the value of gamestop to $100b with operational revenue of $10b then he gets a payout of $35b. apparently there's no specific rule about how he does that, so the simplest way is to buy a company that's already worth $100b and does $10b in business which instantly fulfills his contract. he gets his money and then fucks off because nobody thought to assume he might do a fast one. rich people don't have the same rules that we do.it's everyone else who's crazy if they agree to sell to gamestop or finance this shithttps://www.reuters.com/business/gamestop-announces-new-stock-option-award-ceo-cohen-2026-01-07/
>>738160093Ape together strong
The MOASS is coming. Two more weeks.
>>738159319>CohenI was wondering why the GME shills have been allowed to propagate in ways others have not
I support this, just in the hopes that Gamestop will turn the ebay website into something that's not total sluggish dogshit.
>>738162679I think this is the main goal for the buyout. They are trying to become TCG-stop (really Pokemon card-stop) because that is what is keeping them afloat in recent years. Funny is their prices are getting worse and worse for Pokemon cards, and I heard a rumor the Pokemon Company cut them off as a retail chain. This will only make things worse for TCG collecting, especially Pokemon. I don't see anything with this deal going through making a positive change, and could be very bad for both eBay and TCG hobbies in the long run. Probably the used video game sale market will be impacted negatively too.
>>738163004>company doing things that harms the consumertime to buy stocks
>>738163004TCGPlayer already went downhill after the eBay purchase, I can't imagine what it would be like under Gamestop.
>>738163004>and I heard a rumor the Pokemon Company cut them off as a retail chainheard this from a friend who works at gamestop, something about an old GS CEO saying something that pissed of the current TPC CEO
>>738159319NOONO NO NOO I FUCKING SELL ON EBAY FOR A LARGE PORTION OF MY INCOME. This will fucking ruin me.
>>738163004>tfw sold my Pokémon cards to an indie gaming store years ago for like $50>now they would probably be worth multiple times more
>>738160093the tweet literally says that a bank is footing the financing.
>>738163304And what do you sell, anon?
>>738160963It's like when Sears bought Toys r us to stay alive another few years before being eaten by KMart and then going bust. A domino effect of all the things that were keeping society relatively cheap and sane disappearing overnight and leaving only the monopolies people didn't like in its place.
>>738163362pokemon cards
>>738162284Excellent work, anon. please archive if you can without destroying or damaging them
>>738162876You see, some funny redditors had the idea of keeping GME alive so they could fuck over the people betting against its decline, and thus it gets to stay around and ruin the used everything market.
>>738163379These kinds of mergers and buyouts are supposed to be regulated by the federal government, but the last few ones have been massively compromised by corporate interests, and so don't stop it. Regulation keeps things from getting enshittified.
>>738161569Auctions are terrible. I don’t want to wait a week just to buy something at full price.
>>738159319>"We're going to pivot Ebay into AI!"and then their stock 10x's in 5 minutes
>>738163424Well, sucks to be you then.
>>738163362discontinued fragrances, wallets, and random miscellaneous items. not what you were thinking
>dillutes to buy Ebay with your bag holding cash
So they actually tricked the redditors and GME shares will never be shorted? Imagine thinking you could outjew a jew, reddit was talking about total worldwide finance collapse
>>738163438Why would I archive my personal copy? There's already digital versions that are easy to find for free. I don't see the benefit.
>>738162925I genuinely think what is happening is a State Actor trying to boil American Society by ruining another pillar of its online retailers. I think State actors have been behind most of the public acquisitions which consolidate major industry and then ruin public market for the masses. Effectively throwing American society into the chaos we're in today. Markets can simply not function if there is a secret state actor involved who effectively has infinite money and can't lose. It would be like playing chess against someone who can just put queens on the board whenever he pleases. Now, the question of "Who is funding this" could be anybody. It could be Israel, could be the Saudis, could be Russia, could be China. The 'Who' doesn't matter because we used to have an SEC that would quickly find and clamp down on this obvious market manipulation, that is, until it was stripped down to nothing. So if EBay disappears prepare for every domino to fall in the gaming industry. Nothing is safe, not Playstation, not Steam, it'll all get consolidated and turned to shit.
>>738163496>These kinds of mergers and buyouts are supposed to be regulated by the federal government,Yeah, I miss those days.
>>738161924>there are actual kike hating Saudis attempting to muscle into my economyThe gulf states sans iran/iraq actively support the greater Israel project most of their monarchs have been bought out by jews decades ago
at first I thought hey maybe they'll lower the absolutely ludicrous 15% selling fee ebay has and then I realized its gamestop and they'll probably raise it if anything
>>738159319>Cohen
>>738163735Gamestop would add a 30% cut to all used anything sales while marking used sales as new.Then they would have a clerk steal your CC info
>>738163735Yeah you aren't going to make eBay worth an extra $100b only charging people a 15% selling fee.
>>738163735yeah they're not going to make ebay better for any of the users
>>738159319>Ceo Ryan Cohen>CohenYea bro you won
>>738163336And GameStop is paying the other 2/3rds. How do they have $36 Billion to spend? There's no way they got that much out of liquidating their retail properties. They didn't have enough, and the vast majority of them were leased anyway. GameInformer was worth almost nothing. Kongregate was worth almost nothing.Anything they had of value was tied up in the retail business, and again, they held real ownership of very little of that.Even when you take the favorable lease agreements many GameStops had because of their long term presence, and how the leasing companies would usually be willing to buy them out of those agreements so they could lease the space to someone else for more money, it still isn't nearly enough. There isn't $36 Billion in value there.
>>738160724Train autists use it.
>>738163891I have been buying and selling there for 20 years.It is so shit now compared to how it was but gamestop would definitely make it shittier than we can imagine.
>>738163872You can't just make retarded selling fees and expect the site to flourish. It eats into the seller's profit margins, which are really already bad at 15% and the rising shipping costs. People would either price things too high for anyone to buy, or not bother selling it at all.
I bet their brilliant new proposal is to create "eBay storefronts" using their own millions of wasteful unprofitable properties. You know, like a post office. Serving the function of uhhhhhhh free knockoff funko pop inventory clearouts I mean delivery bonuses.
>>738162261Sure bro, anything to avoid casting blame on Muslims right?
>>738160724You could say the same about Gamestop.
>>738160724i use it all the time. i mostly buy used because it's so much cheaper.
When I first started selling stuff on ebay in 2011, USPS first class was only $1.64 for up to 3 ounces. Now it's fucking $5-6 minimum. Promoted listings feel mandatory now and push your fee from 15% to over 25%. This site will go to absolute shit if gamestop touches.
>>738159319>Cohen>"56 Billion isn't enoughThe memes write themselves
>>738161190facebook search engine is awful. i'll search for a specific model headphones and they'll give me results for totally different brands.
>>738161190craigslist is dead but facebook is legit overrun with bots. Half of the entries are fake, and they're just trying to get your information. I quit selling used outside of swaps because of this shit.
>>738160724I use it to buy obscure car parts that rockauto (which never has shit) or summit racing (which also never has shit) don't have
>>738159319oy vey guess you won't be able to get problematic books from ebay anymore
>>738162883ebay should be in good shape considering their TCGPlayer purchase was a good investment
>>738164014Better to lower the fees That might actually attract sellers
>>738159553>>738160514This, the moment ebay stopped selling porn it was dead and useless to me
The only good Cohen is Spike Cohen
>>738160724Retards like you are the exact reason I get steals on shit I want like a $60 2DS or a $50 PS3 super slim
>>738163918company reserves, long term assets, equity buyouts, etc. huge companies like that have a lot to work with overall, but it usually means they have to tighten up their purse strings more than they would like.
>>>738160724 who the fuck still uses ebay?Where else can you find old shit at a moment's notice?Mecari doesn't have anywhere close to having as much random shit as eBay.Craigslists is so shit now it's as bad as facebook for finding stuff locally.If you have to ask who uses ebay, you're obviously not a collector or want to buy anything older than a year old.
gamebay?estop?
>>738159319oh no. I still have to buy some obscure new in box japanese things that I cannot mention or describe lest someone else buy them first. Gamestop will open them and have them rated and further inflate the price of the item.
>>738164523GameStop has been on a consistent decline for the last ten years. I'd understand if they had that kind of money to pull out of their ass ten years ago. But today? It doesn't make sense.
>>738160708I just posted a second ago and I realized this before even thinking about it. Yeah snatch up the 1k new in box vidya stuff while you can before it balloons to 40K because lol PSA grade 8.2 after they open it and molest it.
>>738161772https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ9r8LMU9bQthey warned us
>>738159319As long as they don't mess with the guest checkout I'm fine. The best thing they ever did was break purchases free from the paypal cancer, so you can go get a gift card to buy shit without giving those fucks your banking info.
>>738160724>who the fuck still uses ebay? its just scalper shitok tell me where else I can find new unopened limited edition consoles that are no longer in print. Go on I'll wait.
>>738159319Where the fuck is gamestop going to get 56 billion?
>>738164794>(((Cohen)))It's a mystery
>>738159319>gamestop is going to declare insolvency the moment the deal goes through just to take down eBay with itPlease let it happen because it would be so fucking funny
>>738162261They are literal jews.>>738161924>>738164086Fuck both jews (ethnic and religious) and arab muslims, and the camels you lot rode in on. How about that, Shlomo.
>>738164603I have no idea what gamestop's financials have looked like in recent years, but I've probably seen worse financing deals desu. this is probably a make it or break it play.
No one is as sick of jewish names in these stories, as I am.
>>738164880>but I've probably seen worse financing deals desu.NTA gamestop is that meme stock that everyone tried to pump when literally every fund was shorting it for free robin hood trader money a few years ago. GME baggies literally lost their shirts in recent years because they were riding their high after making a smart call once.
>>738160189You're a schizo whose only words is kikes, retard.
>>738164948yeah, I remember that. day trading sites placed a freeze on it too. doesn't really change what I said though.
>>738164878The fact that you pretend anyone calling out Muslims is a jew shows you are just a Muslim chimping out about being called out. You even decided to try and say it's about ARAB Muslims. All of you are disgusting and should return to your dunes then fuck off.
>>738160514>Filter>US OnlyHoly shit SKILL ISSUE.
>>738160724For trading cards and collectibles it's the place to go
Huh. I assumed Ebay would be the one in the position to buy Gamestop...If that was worth doing, that is.
>>738160724Me.New games for cheaper than Amazon.Old and new comics.Lego cheaper than Amazon because they ship it without the box which adds to cost.Movies that Amazon doesn't have in stock.Old magazines.Car parts.Books.Vinyl for way fucking cheaper than Target or Walmart.It's overall the best site for stuff that isn't in stock anymore. The problem with Amazon is that they built these giant warehouses to stock third party seller shit and they have to rotate that out constantly while with eBay the seller uses their own storage for their own stock, and everything I order is 99.9% of the time packed way more carefully than anything Amazon does. Like Amazon thinks it's funny to just toss a new movie or game in a paper envelope and call it a day. eBay sellers at least add some padding or cardboard backing.
>>738159319>>738159553They're probably going to turn it into the American Klarna or something. They'll go the same route as game stores did in my country (Gamestop closed in 2020) where they sell T-shirts, toys, and electronics, and shit that just isn't video games until they just literally don't sell video games anymore.
>>738160724ME BECAUSE FUCKIGN MANUFACTURERS STOP SELLING SHIT I NEED AND THEN PRETEND LIKE THE SHITTY PLASTIC SHIT ON CHINKAZON IS GOING TO WORKi also bought a kindle and some raw japanese mango bc shit was cheap
>>738160724I just got Mario Bros Wonder for 30 something used because I’m not paying $80 to have it on switch 2
>>738165178>anyone calling out Muslims is a jewno, anyone DEFLECTING from jews to muslims is a jew.Gates of Toledo, read a book you dumb nigger
>>738164948I still don't understand what the motivation was to keep holding the stock after the shorts resolved. Just to keep them from shorting it again?
>>738160724ebay, facebook marketplace, craigslistthese are the big 3 and only one of them has real customer protections
>>738159319They cant afford it. Ebay makes so so much money they would never give it up. Its the biggest reselling site in the world and they make billions and have thousands of transactions an hour. I dont know why people assume Gamestop can afford it and that ebay would give up their cash machine.
>>738159553ebay turned ebay into shit a while ago
>>738165843Everyone deflecting from jews to muslims, including the one that's deflecting anything bad about muslims to jews. Fuck you and fuck every single member of your bullshit desert cult, Islam should be eradicated from the planet through any means necessary. And no, before you say anything the same applies to jews, all of you need to fucking get out
>>738160160Let's just ask CEO Ryan Cohen
>>738161136>>738161136Not that anon but for me my last three movies/games/music:Cat Run 1 & 2 for $23Nashville Blu-ray $15Delirium Blu-ray $28Mario Wonder for $47Let's go Pikachu for $50American Hero $32Jack White Fear of the Dawn vinyl $12.50Sega Fantasy Zone LP $33Virtua Fighter LP $16eBay is good. Especially when you find someone selling a shit ton of great comics for $2 each.
>>738166018https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveraged_buyout
>>738166187 I understand but eBay just bought depop and they own TCGPlayer which both make so much profit. Reselling is getting more and more popular as a way of making money so they would be stupid to take whatever offer GameStop is giving instead of continuing their growth.
>>738165178I said how about fuck both species of you semitic cockroaches.>All of you are disgusting and should return to your dunes then fuck off.Yes I agree, fuck off to the desert you spawned from, kike.>>738166071lmao you mad. Eradicate each other or something.
>>738159319I'm surprised gamestop even has the money for that.>>738164468Also this.
>>738166341I very clearly said I want you both out, both of your desert religions need to fuck off and get the fuck out of my country. And stop pretending it's just Arab muslims. It's ALL OF YOU motherfuckers.
>>738159319>Cohen has a commitment letter from TD Bank to provide around $20 billion in debt financingso when this deal inevitably goes through and both companies eat shit because this braindead kike couldn't pay off his private equity bvll, what happens? Is Amazon going to step in and finally monopolize 100% of online commerce? I can't think of a single outcome from this merger going through that isn't disastrousI had to restart my browser and clear all of my 4chan cookies before Cuckflare would even let me request a c*ptcha. Total corponigger death
>>738165885>I still don't understand what the motivation was to keep holding the stock after the shorts resolvedBaggies only lose when they dump their bags (they always lose)
Gamestop wants to compete with Amazon.How come none of ya'll thought of this?
>>738159319>>738160093>>738159553>(((Cohen)))Gme has been in the shitter for years now thanks for this kike
>>738166503(((What if that's the plan, wouldn't that be funny haha.)))
>>738166120Yep I got Mario Wonder for a similar price recently. It’s the best for getting older first party switch games at a decent price. Also got a K-drama DVD set (new/sealed) for my wife that was only a few states away, instead of me having to import from Korea and wait a month for it to get here.
>>738160189This feels more like a Saudi thing than a kike thing.
>>738159553Ebay has been shit for a while now. It's best usage is getting the occasional cheap game. I got rune factory and pokemon za for $57 like two weeks ago.
>>738160724I bought this last year when I was drunk.
>>738159319Get your fucking hands AWAY
>>738160724You can find cheap Super Nintendos.
>>738166758Try marketplace. I found some guy selling the costco deal switch 2 games for $38
>>738166684anon I've already been bullied by Amazon aka Twitch over the dumbest shit imaginable, if this yid motherfucker gives Bezos an even bigger monopoly then I might finally go full Uncle Ted
>>738167230Damn those went up. I bought a lot like 3-4 years ago for less and got two 1 chip consoles
>>738159553Ebay has been total trash for nearly a decade now. Once it got taken over by bots and scammers mixed with dropshippers, it was over.Throw in them being forced to charge tax and its was REALLY fucking over.
>>738166758Yeah. I got Mario Wonder because the Switch 2 update was going to happen, and that meant Mario Wonder would be going back to $60 MSRP and $20 for the DLC, or like $70-80 for the Switch 2 version.
I tried selling one of those old Windows VR WMR headsets for $70 last year on eBay. The dude who bought it didn't know how to read my description to know how to use it so he returned it. Had to pay like $35 for the shipping and return fee which made me platinum mad. Never again.
>>738160724I got this for 85 dollars a few years ago, I think.
>>738167298They always charged tax but it was state by state, so your state probably became gay and started demanding sales tax on online goods not bought in your state which is fucking stupid. In the state I live in they added additional tax to shipping. Meaning you pay sales tax and shipping tax.
>>738166503>what happens?Nothing, he walks with the money, >>738162925 this money, that the shareholders promised him if he made it to the 100b mark, and both companies liquidate.Same shit happened with Sears and KMart. Moral of the story: Don't promise th gdp of a small country to a CEO if he makes some retarded gambit.
>>738167395Should have put READ DESCRIPTION in the title, SOLD AS IS in the description, and NO RETURNS in the shipping. Yes you have to do this, not just because of retards but because of scammers.
>>738159319>browse ebay>buy some old vidya>receive items in a couple days from a trusted sellerFUCKING EBAY
>>738160724You could find Japs selling retro stuff for pretty cheap.
>Gamestop has been a failing business for a decade>oh hey let's borrow twenty fucking billion to acquire this other massive brandHow in the fuck are they not getting laughed out of the room, or how is this even allowed?
>>738167395Shit I would have bought it anon, I have an odyssey 2 that I love to death but both controllers ate shit. I'd still be using it.
>>738167568>How in the fuck are they not getting laughed out of the room,It's leveraged, AKA it's actually a bunch of other hands trying to buy Ebay and is pushing Gamestop forward as collateral if it fails because they know Gamestop isn't worth anything. Did you know this is illegal in most European countries? If you do it just right, it's basically money laundering.

>>738167710The original Gamestop stock fiasco should have showed everyone what a complete sham the financial system is.>some faggot broker tries to massively short the stocks>little guy catches on, rallies a fuck ton of support to pump the share value and completely fuck up the Wall Street rat>they LITERALLY FUCKING SHUT IT DOWN OY VEY to protect the rat and prevent anyone else from getting in on their gameIt's all fake and gay
>>738160724I use it for buying Jap Dreamcast and Saturn games for my Jap consoles. They’re usually much cheaper than American copies and are in much better condition.
>>738167478>Same shit happened with SearsI couldn't help but laugh when I saw an ad for an event taking place at our local Sears recently, as if it hasn't already been a vacant corpse for the last decade. Private equity was a fucking mistake, holy shit
>>738159319>inb4 ebaystop gets 30% of each transaction>also you have to pay a subscription for buying, and one for selling, seperate of course
>>738167178Did you manage to get at least 1 working PS1 out of it?
>>738159319>(((Cohen)))Oy cvey
>>738160724I like to use it once in a while for cheap or used (also for cheap) dvds and blurays.I also got a refurbed ps2 slim that runs like new for a good price. Also came with bible quotes. Don't really get it, but the man knows how to restore a ps2.It's got its place if you're willing to wade through the shit deals to find the good ones.
ebay is fucking awesome, you can actually search via location so you can just find whichever seller is closest to you, idk, save the planet and shit I guess
>>738159319>Early Life
ryan cohen is a worthless nigga
>>738168065They all worked just fine. 3 of them were missing a disc drive though.
>>738168246I have picked up packages at ebay local sellers for car parts before, it's great
>>738160724I bought this, because I liked the color of it. Also, it wasn't broken, the disc drive ribbon cable just was removed, lol.
I think on top of >>738163640 part of the goal is to slowly remove any and all reason to find utility out of the internet. The end-goal is to effectively make the english internet impossible to use, and Ebay stands in the way since , as this thread shows, it still serves an invaluable use that nothing else can replicate. We can't have useful things.
I bought this from some guy who ragequitted trying to fix his PS3. It even came with a free 64gb flash drive. I fixed the issue at the end.
>>738160724If you're into anything old or retro then ebay is THE market placeObviously everyone here is talking about vidya, but I also use it to buy old film camerasThere's lots of resellers from Japan on ebay
>>738160724I was about to use it yesterday, to buy a JDM watch. Ended up grabbing it from JP Amazon for 15 more bucks
Will this effect my cheap artbooks I get form japan with no shipping fees?
>>738163640It's all so tiresome. I'm glad I haven't got a family that would be forced to prop this pathetic shit up.
>>738164962>only words is kikes
>>738160514Like Amazon is any betterOr any non-specialty online market front for that matter.
>>738160724How to you buy used stuff these days? All the sites that were good for this are all shit now only used by people trying to buy shit to later sell.
>>738159319>CohenI'm so tired of it, bros...
This was my most recent ebay purchase. I know people say to use facebook marketplace for retro games but I don't wanna fuck with that. Meeting in person and negotiating prices, I'm gonna get shanked.
>>738165249>US only>look inside>description in broken English
>>738167549why was it partially refunded anon
I buy all my dildos on ebay.It turns me on knowing they've been used...
>>738171171
>>738171030There was a single scratch not mentioned on the listing
>>738171030The ac adapter they sent me was broken, so they knocked off 15 dollars.
>>738171171what is your favorite game?
>>738160514How is it shit? It does what it needs to do, nothing more nothing less
>>738171252Zelda OoT for single player and Tibia as my go to MMO...
>>738159319Just looked it up and I can’t believe it but GameStop is actually doing well. I thought for certain they were in a death spiral and throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks. But they are doing well. Wow
>>738159319How does gamestop have any money to buy anything let alone fucking ebay which is pretty big? I don't even see any gamestop brick and mortar stores anymore. Is this all from the gme bull run from 5 years ago?
>>738171240Oh nice, i need a sfc my self
>>738171306real
>>738167131Any money spent on ZA is wasted
>>738160514There is legitimately no better way to purchase online. The interface for shopping third party sellers on Amazon is a mess. Facebook Marketplace? You really meet gay niggas on Facebook in real life? No thank you.Mercari started strong but lol I mean look at it.
>order Japanese game>game has an insert inside the case for for protection>case game wrapped in form fitting plastic>wrapped in bubble wrap>arigato gamersama note with tea or candyso much soul...
>>738160903it gets repod
do you think they'll have battletoads
>>738159553Ruin how?It's Aliexpress 2
>>738159553>>738160724I dropped it for Mercari a long time ago.
fuck i wanna buy that dnf artbook. might not be worth it for the print quality and theres photos online.
>>738164424It will never happen though, you just know it. The site can getting ebaumsworld levels of traffic and they still won't budge.
>>738159553Ebay is already ridiculous. Have you seen how much people are trying to sell old games for?
Gamestop needs to make discogs for games
>>738159319Post how much GME you have anons.Me:7000 @25
>>738160093Banks and apesSuperstonk retards just keep throwing money at them because they still think that if they just hand them enough cash, one day all the hedgefunds will suddenly go bankrupt because they all own gamestop shares and then they will own the world economyNo, really, they're that dumb
I used ebay once. I tried to buy a keyboard from a reputable seller. It came completely warped and crushed, with half the keyboard unable to be pressed.I sent it in for a replacement, and the second one had a bunch of dead keys.They offered to send another replacement but I gave up and asked for a refund.
>>738160514>>738159553I like it. find some gems there and sell a few things on the side. Hope Gamestop doesnt somehow turn it into a gacha system.
>>738160724I was buying custom head sculpts for my action figures and the chinks actually do some pretty good work for peanuts.
>>738173172Pay $10 extra for an NFT of your purchase
>>738163496My favourite is when the US government was trying to buy out Spirit and demand a 50% stake in profits. What the fuck.
>>738161331Live commerce seems to be big, Cohen always kept saying to learn from china and since COVID all all their big streamers have been selling products live on stream to make moneyHe wants to do this from the Gamestop stores though whatever that means
>>738163004are you the umaru poster whose thread got to a wonderful 500+ posts a few weeks ago or another umarooposter?
>>738173289Didn't we already have this on TV with dedicated shopping channels? Why do we want more of this garbage?
>>738173057It is generally good practice to buy after an announcement like this?
I thought Gamestop was on the verge of going under years ago how are they buying up shit now
>>738173445It's called "imaginary numbers in the computer", it controls a lot of the world
>>738160189No dipshit it's literally always rich arabs funding these fuckass mergers.
>>738173425I personally wouldn't go in hard since Gamestop will likely have to dilute (add more shares aka price goes down) to complete the sale. Based unc bruce predicts that the deal won't go through though, but GME will still go up regardless. youtube.com/watch?v=HCSpYRyCrzoAnyway, I wouldn't "yolo" in. Be responsible. At the very most like 5-10% of your cash imo. (I might be retarded so maybe 5-10% already counts as a yolo though).
>>738159319Ah yes the good old corporate takeover debt.
>>738173396maybe because no one watches TV now...?
>>738173989It's not a leveraged buyout. If the merged GameStop-eBay company goes under, eBay spins off.
>>738174101Oh okay.
>>738159319these retards get saved by gamers pumping them and then turn around and waste it all. typical fucking ceo
>>738159319buying GME shares first thing in the morning
>>738173975I have like $475 to play around with, I bought in at the height of GME and sold at like 180. I'll probably get like 5 shares or something.I just consider the stock like a game since it's so little money.
>>738174328Sorry about your loss back in the day. I think most of us (including me) tasted some bitterness on one or more occasions that year.For right now though, if it feels like a game and not much money to you, then I think it's a guddo idea!
bump
>>738165120>day trading sites placed a freeze on it toowhich was absolutely illegal lmao. you're allowed to buy a stock that someone suggests you buy.
>>738159319is ebay still a thing, who even owned it before gamestop?
>>738176810You're absolutely allowed to do it, and not all day trading sites did it anyways.The problem was a different one. Robinhood, the guys who actually shut down buying several kinds of meme stocks, were in a liquidity crisis themselves. See, money takes time to move (when you're a bank and don't want to move it fast). So Robinhood gets your money only after a few days. Until then, you're buying stock on their credit line. When now a million retards want to buy the same stock on the same day, robinhood would have to lend them all money, and they ran out.
>>738177113nope. you aren't. if you buy a stock they aren't allowed to just take your money and say "oops we can't pay you :^)"
>>738168876>buy a fat ps3 for like 70 dollars, "tested">blu ray drive doesn't work>take it apart, take the drive itself apart and clean the lens/get the dust out>still doesn't work>ragequit and leave it in my closet for 3 years
How did Gamestop had the kind of money to buy eBay stock (or at least to have the balls to afford a write up offer?).Anons, Niggers, Retards, and Gaymers, lend me your ears and let me tell share you tale of Bitcoin faggotry:https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gamestop-dumping-bitcoin-treasury-much-131156647.html
>>738177132Oh, you're not uninformed, you're just retarded. Got it.
The crypto scammer stuff has me worried now maybe they’ll only sell old games in those plastic slabs
>>738164507>PS4 super slim>Steal
>>738177326You have no clue how bad the aftermarket vidya sales is (as far as the U.S. goes but it could be also international). It's a cartel of the most degenerate (and I mean it in the Wallstreet Bets kind of way) that will go up to you and say "hello fellow gaymer" buy your shit for a song, get it "rated", put in a plastic box, and then sell that shit 10, 50.100, 200, 300x the value you sold. It gets worse: they cleaned all the Osaka and Tokyo stores, they cleaned out every sucker that has sold their physicals, they managed to find any overstocks and back stocks of any hardware out there and they sell to each other to inflate prices (kind of like how cocaine goes up in price as it travels from Colombia to the U.S.). Gamestop just wants a cut of the action as platform (website) owner.
>>738160724ebay is the best place when looking for retro games but you prolly wouldnt know that you poser faggot
>>738174226You might as well. It's a bitcoin treasury fund and they're going offense now that the market has cheapened because of the Hourmouz Strait oil shit going on in MENA. So as they say at /biz/: buy the dip nigga.
>>738177217>>738177837Did people in the 90s really go out and buy a Saturn/Dreamcast just because a woman that doesn't come with the console was holding it on a magazine ad?
>>738159319Wait a minute... the only way for eBay to being in more money is to increase the seller fees...
>>738160189i cant believe anti semite scum like you still exist on 4chan in 2026Grow the fuck up please
>>738177908Sex sells.Plain and simple.Take the fact that Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ) magazine did a shoot in 2010 with Allison Brie and Gillian Jacobs with a 1950s, Bettie Page-ish, lesbian BDSM style shoot, to promote "Community" an NBC network show.Dan Harmon (basedboy extraordinaire) was livid about the shoot but sold the show.moral of the story: sex sells.
>>738178017But it's a console, the woman doesn't come with the console. If it was a game FOR the console with hot women in it then it would make sense. I want to believe people aren't that fucking stupid.
>>738177927eBay's fees already inflate retro games prices by roughly 15% since everyone goes by pricechartingI can't imagine the impact even higher fees will have, especially since there is no real competition in the US (Amazon has outrageous fees too)
>>738160093It clearly says they're taking a 20 billion dollars loan to buy the company, so really they don't have the money to buy it.
>>738178109I get moral righteous indignation and undiagnosed obsessive compulsive disorders with a wedge of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders is a common compound that makes "a personality" ripe for lolcow malk extraction but people really like that association of sex, beauty with products being sold. The only people that don't are the religious and the people with the aforementioned compound of mental disorders that come off as pseudo-religious by happenstance.
>>738178182>Go into multi billion dollar debt during economic instability>Overpay to buyout a bigger company>???>100x your profits
>(((Cohen)))Nothing good can come of this, and it also explains the short squeeze that gave GS the money to it.
>>738173082We laugh at elderly getting scammed by phone scammers, but a bunch of millennials were scammed by internet grifters with the promise that their 100$ of penny stock will turn into millions via esoteric stock market shenanigans.
>>738178650I wouldn't trust Cohen either considering how some idiots really read too much into his moves over at Bed, Bath & Beyond with people still left to this day crazy thinking Cohen is giving "hidden signals" that something will happen with the $BBBY stock. So for Gamestop buyers the only thing I'll say is you can trust this one because as long as GS has their BTC fund kept mostly unsold and their business is strong at the retail front (it kind of is believe it or not), you're fine. Just keep paying attention and ask who knows what of potential moves because he says too many things in conference calls.
>>738165249you have it too good in usa. i cant even set Europe only if i choose my country.
>>738160724I can still buy camera gear and CDs on Ebay for solid prices. Some non-hyped retro games go for good prices too. The selling fee kinda sucks and the site design is fucking ugly but it does what it needs to do. Honestly there's room for improvement but I'm too afraid of someone fucking it up beyond repair.
>>738160783the point of a ceo is making shareholder a shit ton of money. fastest way is to milk the company dry as fast as possible, who cares if the next quarter it implodes, the goal was met.think of it like a ship, the goal of the ceo is to make its tip raise and then they all leave before it sinks.yes, ceos are parasitic entities.
>>738160514That's almost every online store at this point. Half the catalog is made of cheap brand chinese products that barely work and break apart after a month or two after purchase.
>>738159553already ruined, basic search is fucked beyond repair, many times I have searched for very specific items, for example Mig-21 1/72, filter set on Europe and it couldn't find stuff from a czech seller cause I was not putting Bilek or other makers on the search, while literally a year before or 2013, it would find everything.At the same period translator hit the fan, I was buying stuff from Arma Hobby, all I had to do was type 300gal drop tanks and purchase what I wanted, but nope, they had to shove that on me cause I'm from fucking Marioland so instead of getting results for military drop tanks, I was simply getting beans.Finally, as China was getting angry about people filtering their BS, they forced it into the fucking algorithm in the same way that Amazon did, in the past "-china" was enough to sort that shit, now it doesn't work.Sellers are using the suggestion system power by AI, so nowadays you are literally getting stuff not related to your search cause tag system was a fucking mistake. A year ago I bought a Rafale A kit, also I had to buy reference books to correct some errors cause I can't find pdf scans anymore cause the fucking copyright jews took down most of the archives or certain books were never scanned and it's a shitshow to find good material there, let alone decently priced.
>>738160724>who the fuck still uses ebay?https://www.ebay.com/str/theartofserver?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211
>>738179483Gamestop has a brick-and-mortar logistical setup that is under utilized because the business model that utilized it is no longer really there (people like you and me are probably buying more electronic keys than physicals or said "fuck Gamestop" and bounced). So if Gamestop has the logistics but doesn't have the stock to server other market areas for collectibles (for example) where premiums can be collected in-between transactions, then the pairing could increase the value fo the business of both Gamestop and eBay in a manner that could compliment both businesses and produce more value for everyone and not just shareholders.My skepticism is that, since I know the aftermarket has a built-in cartel right now, if it just is going to tighten aftermarket supply and people are forced by circumstance to just buy electronically video games."Cohen has got some balls I'll give him that because whatever combination of business types (a "synergy") he's thinking of either works due to people not getting it until it happens or it means GS having to salvage eBay somehow.
>>738160093>>738160147They 9 billion in their bank account, 4,5 of those are from bond holders (which they can pay back in cash) and they have 0 debt. Last 7 quarters has been green and they made 400million profit last year>>738160348No, they have never been bankrupt>>738162925No, that's still to be votes on if Im not mistaken, but redditors will vote for this ofc, because they're braindead.>we have to give him 100bill and dilute ourselves because he doesnt take an anual salary of 1mill>>738163379Gamestop last 7 quarters has been green, and last year was 400mill profit. They have 0 debt. It would take 1049819 years for them to bankrupt, unless they blow all their money to buy a website.
>>738163438>without destroying or damaging themThat's not how (good) scans works. You have to take books apart if you want to do the best possible scan.If the book is stapled you might be able to put it back together after scanning, but otherwise expect to bin it.If you're interested in learning, then look up quicksandscans on wordpress.

I've been looking to sell my old games.Probably for a fraction of the usual listing prices.Anyone know of a good website if not eBay?
>>738181432They could've bought 80 oil rigs and made free money, instead they gamble on a website. I'm not happy with this decision, unless some jewish finance magic makes my investment blow up

>>738163526lol, lmao even.
>>738180282And the other half is made of cheap chinese products that barely work and break apart after a month or two after purchase BUT the logo is western.
>>738181486I'm not in favor of this merger either but considering that Gamestop is a Bitcoin Treasury fund company now and eBay needs a shot in the arm, and Cohen is looking to expand the GS company into something that seems like a joke but Cohen is has proven that he's playing for keeps, I can assure you, the oil investment would be a big "fuck no.">OPEC+ just lost UAE>U.S. produces more oil and sells more oil than the OPEC+ can produce combine (har har get fucked!) oh and they unofficially lost one founding memeber, Venezuela.>Iran can sell for shit anymore and when they do go back to selling, by then, UAE's alternative pipeline will make the Hourmouz strait be obsolete and oil prices will eventually drop below $50/barrel if OPEC+ goes bust after.Oil is no bueno to buy long run. It's fine to keep around in the portfolio for diversification (raw materials etc) but otherwise, nope.

>>738160093Cool it with the antisemitism.
>>738178109In the case of consoles, the sex is about appealing to the young kid and teenager desire to be cool by appealing by catering to what they think cool adults like and do. The classic case of kids being unable to conceive that adults would like things that aren't dark and grim. (except old people)Anyone who peddles the saying 'sex sells' is definitely not someone who understands that the intent is different from what that phrase implies.
>>738178214meds, now
>>738159319he's doing this because there's a big pay package in it for him if he can get gamestop to be worth 100 billion by the end of the yearhe'll tank both companies and leave to do it all over again elsewhere
>>738160093Isn't relatively common for companies print new shares to buy other companies before the price adapts to the new lower share point due to the printing, on promise they will still be able to make the line go up anyway?
>>738162883I got an email about that, and couldn't believe it, I figured they didn't mean the entire selling fee, but I checked and yeah, from May 12th it's free to sel->From 12 May, your buyers will benefit from protections, giving them more confidence and security when they shop. A fee will be added to your listings and paid by the buyer to eBay to support these protections.>The Buyer Protection fee will be calculated as: >A flat fee of AU $0.30 per item>8% of the item price up to AU $20>6% of any portion of the item price from AU $20 to AU $500>4% of any portion of the item price from AU $500 to AU $5,000Oh ok, so they're moving the fee onto the buyer, I'm sure this will work out great and people won't go to buy something, see they now have to pay X% extra, and go "nah fuck this".If you wanted to buy something off ebay, do it now, as I sincerely doubt sellers will reduce the cost of their items by 10%-ish once this comes into affect.
>>738178109Booth babes and other eyecandy has been the go to since for fucking ever. No one is going to get swayed by a commercial featuring the ugliest troglodyte known to man, regardless of what the product is. But some will get swayed if the product is presented by a hot woman or a hunk.
>>738183787that's retarded and people are retarded
>>738183978>>738178109You don't understand advertising.You don't sell things because of the ad, you make people aware that you exist with the ad, you need to catch people's attention and have them have a positive association with the product. Hot women=positive association.It's not stupid, you are stupid if you don't understand it.
>>738159319GameStop still exists?
>>738183597That would turn a 1000 kangaroo dollars item into a 1050.7 kangaroo dollars item. 500 would be 530.7. Plus shipping.>>738184242And if you can't use sex to create a positive association (diapers, hygiene shit, detergent etc.) you use repetition so [brand] will be the first one on the consumers mind when >she thinks "i need more shampoo". Obviously repetition requires spamming which makes advertising more expensive than using sex.
>>738184242If the console actually came with a free hot woman maybe then I'd buy it
>>738183597Still far better than the current seller fees that are way less transparent, often more expensive and also cause people to overvalue items>Want to buy a 3DS game at a convention>Seller wants $100>eBay listings are $100 (seller nets roughly $85 after Ebay & Paypal fees)>Ask if they'll take $90 cash>They flat out refuse
etsychads we WON
>>738184553>500 would be 530.7. Plus shipping.I sold an $800 item a few years ago, after all was said & done I earned under $700 from that sale, I would have had to price that item over $900 if I needed to get the full value for that itemVinted, which has recently been competing with eBay in Europe, works with the same buyer fee structure and both buyers & sellers agree that it's the better platform for pricing.
>>738160189https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c0jq24yy4z9oThe Saudis bought EA sports for 55 billion
>>738185138>over $900Not quite. 842.7
>>738185156You mean the Jews because Suadis are cryptokikes.
>>738159319GameStop was at the brink of closure years ago, and now they are going shopping?
>>738159319I wish I had $56 Billion
>>738159319I sell games I finish on ebay. I really don't want Gamestop fucking with my used game sales.
>>738185524With the new system, yes.With the old system, it'd be closer to $940. If Gamestop buys eBay and decides to keep the old fee structure then the site will die a slow death until it becomes a website only for niche collectibles catered to older people who can't be assed to go to a better marketplace.
>>738173289The live commerce bit sounds like they're trying to sell the brick-and-mortar stores as an expanded market, instead of the massive money pit that it's been for Gamestop for years now, and something Ebay has never given a fuck about.
>>738162925>he gets his money and then fucks off because nobody thought to assume he might do a fast one. rich people don't have the same rules that we do.You're telling me the very MBAs taught that there's nothing better than pulling a fast one, then taking the money and running - didn't consider that the MBA they hired would take the money and pull a fast one?
>>738160724I use it because fuck Amazon.
>>738186073True, the keyword "broadcasting studio" is interesting though. Maybe they want the GameStop girl to become a streamer selling products.
>>738159319>Cohenalways the same.
>>738159553eBay's been pretty bad for years so it's not like they can do much to it.>Went from being able to sell anything on the platform with no social until you hit a certain limit in a year to now having to provide a social even if you're selling one thing worth $10.>Stock images so you don't even know what you're actually getting half the time.>Chinese dropshippers everywhere, especially on the niche side of things like buttons or shells.>Descriptions now literally look like a Geocities page with Comic Sans text and tons of images on them for their store, the quality of their object, and an ad for their other items.>Japanese stores selling directly from Japan worldwide but with stock images and Engrish descriptions so you don't even know the quality or condition of what you're going to be getting.>Stores being allowed to list used games in X amount sold meaning you have no idea on the quality of the thing you are buying, you just have a single picture of one of the used items and have to hope for the best.>Everyone acting like an "I know what I got" bag holder with their 360 games so they're still selling stuff at retail price or even higher than MSPR for random stuff like Call of Duty.>PEGI/UAE versions being sold under the guise of being American copies and the only way to tell is by going to their store page and then reading it.>People selling replacement boxes/cover with their own watermarks somewhere on the box defeating the entire purpose.I was looking into Bayonetta Origins and TotK box replacements since Amazon sent me UAE copies and every single one available on eBay has some asshole watermarking theirs.>Sellers are way more on your case and way more pissed off if you don't immediately leave them 5* positive feedback.>To my understanding you can now get banned if you don't leave feedback at all.
>>738186186>Maybe they want the GameStop girl to become a streamer selling products.Imagine walking into a Gamestop and you see the worker there with a streaming setup and a table full of retro games as she's talking about how rare and fun each game isI'd watch for a bit
>>738186027>>738185138If you buy on vinted and get scammed good luck getting your money back, retard. I always got my money back on ebay. That is why people buy on ebay.As long as other platforms don't implement a serious guarantee program, ebay will always stay on top.Cardmarket did that for example and there's literally no reason to buy TCGs on ebay in Europe.
>>738186508gamestop turning into a qvc-like studio sounds like satire
>>738187487It looks like it's going that direction kek Whatnot is popping off and eBay just launched their ripoff eBay Live. It's going to be nothing but pack opening soi facing purgatory
>>738159553>ruin eBayWay, way, too late for that.
>>738186974eBay does have a policy that makes returns far easier and convenient. Other websites try to balance the power between buyers & sellers, so refunds are available but only in a timely manner and with a solid reason.>Cardmarket did that for example and there's literally no reason to buy TCGs on ebay in Europe.Cardmarket has to be the most efficient and fairly priced marketplace out there, which we had a video games equivalent.
>>738177217The lightness around her breasts has my brain going into overdrive imaginging whats under them.
>>738187790
>>738187773Another problem is sellers canceling the sale because of market fluctuation or private negotiations with other people. On cardmarket the sellers can't do that. I got Cardmarket to force a retard to sell me what I bought if he wanted to keep the account kek. He had to go and buy the cards and then send them to me. As it should be. Don't sell shit you don't want to sell or you don't have.
>>738164468For me it was when they stopped allowing runescape toons
>>738178872It allows you to specify the EU or continental Europe on the UK site, where on earth are you?
>>738159319i actually still use ebay quite a bit mostly as a seller and this sounds like trouble. i dont know how i would be affected but something tells me this will be bad
>>738159319more like egay
Is ebay still around? I have not used it since 15 years ago
>>738159553>they are going to actually ruin ebay holy shitchinks already completely ruined it and ebay themselves finished it off with fucked searches, fees and filtering
>>738189475>Anon tries to put a vidya for sale on eBayDo you want to sell this to Gamestop for $3 cash or $5 credit instead?>NoAre you sure? Members gets a special bonus.>YesThe fee for selling games on eBay is $0.40 per item + 15.8% + transaction fee, also your listing will be buried under all of Gamestop's unless you pay $1 per week for boosted visibility.
im all for ruining ebay. the more the internet goes to shit the more communities at the local level will start to recover because the internet became useless. mainly because letting chinks and other 3rd worlders flood the white internet was a mistake
>>738160724I use it for old computer parts and other obscure stuff that doesn't get sold in retail. When companies liquidate or flush their old inventory, they put on ebay for cheap just to get rid of it. I have a good T480 laptop and have gotten replacement keyboards, chargers, and batteries from ebay with no hassle.
>>738159319Why did Gamestop's stock go down instead of up on this news?
>>738159319What's the point of buying ebay? How does it help Goystop?
>>738190790eBay has a extremely large secondhand vidya market. GameStop would benefit greatly from that if they bought eBay.
>>738160724me, especially when buying books
>>738190790It makes the CEO look busy and keeps him salaried that bit longer.
>>738190790>look at game on gameslop's website: 55$ used>look at game on ebay: 35$ usedCEOs, private equity funds, and shareholders will look at the free market at work here, and decide they must destroy it.
>>738190790they can resell their shit from the stores easier (they take anything as trade ins now)
>>738191321It gets worse when you realize everyone goes by pricecharting when estimating game prices and pricecharting is just an average of ebay sold listings
>>738160724My 13 year old T530 thinkpad exploded something powerwise a few weeks back. It's fucking impossible to find anything 15in and durable enough to survive ten consecutive drops onto cement these days but Ebay existing allowed me to buy a completely mint corporate surplus replacement with top-trim internals for $110 shipped - drop my existing 16gb ram and 4tb ssd in it and i'm back up and running in five days flat.Now I've got my bath-masturbation machine back and am happy as a clam. if ebay doesnt exist that doesnt happen though, who the fuck is buying niche computer parts sight unseen?? The only reason i was able to like-for-like is because ebay has actual people that message you back when you ask them to check what the screen resolution is
>>738191391Couldn't they just have made a deal with eBay to become a privileged seller?Outright buying the company is overkill
reminder that reggie runs gamestop
>>738191890Not anymore. Dude left the company years ago.
>>738173082Superstonk retards are a strange kind. They acknowledge that the financial system is a massive scam with corruption as far as the eye can see, and yet they are still under the delusion that rules can be used against (((them))).
>>738191787But then gameslop wouldn't be perceived as being worth 100 bln and then (((Cohen))) wouldn't get his 35 bln bonus.
>>738192295>his 35 bln bonus.Imagine you invested in your friend's company and the dude told you:>Once my business makes its first million, I'm giving myself a $350k bonus
>>738164468> the moment ebay stopped selling porn it was dead and useless to meI see porn on there right now
>>738159319Dear God, they're going to enshittify ebay to wring it dry and cash out. Nothing will ever replace it btw
