The funniest part of modern business news is that you genuinely can’t tell anymore whether a headline is real, parody, or something caused by meme-stock culture.
It’s 50% cash. And 50% stock
“Audacious” is a weird way to spell “asinine publicity stunt”
Surprising no one, eBay’s leadership wanted to continue growing a global business with its healthy niche and didn’t want to deal with billions in debt that a GameStop merger would’ve brought.
„eBay rejects losing their own job and $120m a year in executive compensation.“
Fuck gabestop anyway. They are a rip off and suck.
They need a new excuse to dilute to APE buyers.
I’ve genuinely started using eBay more frequently. After canceling Amazon because of their audacious prices I noticed how outrageous their shipping was. Getting to $35 will usually wave it but you then have to wait an arbitrary number of extra days. On eBay you can likely find what you want in smaller quantities and free shipping for cheaper.
Haven’t they checked the website?!
What?!
eBay doesn’t want to be stuck as a Funko Pop reseller?
Weird…
It was a publicity stunt. Nothing more.
honestly, if 2026 taught me anything, this means im more likely to expect a gamestop/ebay takeover. everytime i think „well thats that“ 2 months later „gamestop is in the final stages to acquire ebay“
GameStop offering top dollar for something previously used was the real tell.
To the surprise of literally no one
I still can’t believe the whole “we buy the company with debt and then force it on them” thing is legal at all
The masses of reddit‘ s wall street bets saved game stop from bankruptcy
Now the owners have more money than they know what to do with and are just as bad as every other billionaire company
Imagine a world with “eBay credit”. Trade in your… whatever for a few dollars.
r/SuperStonk cult members fuming
How does Gamestop have anything worth anything
Ryan Cohens interview was the most unserious and unprepared interview I’ve ever seen.
Hosts: How are you going to pay for this?
RC: just go to the site, bro
To the surprise of absolutely no one.
First time I’ve seen “audacious” used in a business headline lmao
„Your offer wasn’t accepted, make a new offer?“
$56,000,000,001
Yea but the CEO got to sell a shit ton of new shares, and leave /r/SuperStonk holding the bag.
So is Gamestop just the means for Ryan Cohen to play stocks with?
superstonk in shambles
When you’re trying to make a quick buck so decide to manipulate stock prices by announcing a bullshit acquisition that is based on complete fantasy and have no intention of following through.
Was that $56B with or without shipping?
Game Stop should diluted it’s cultists‘ shares even more, issue a trillion new shares, and buy Amazon. I’m sure the geniuses at SuperStonk will come up with „due diligence“ „youtube research“ explaining how that will expose a giant conspiracy theory, unlock the infinite money glitch, and make everyone on Earth a quadrillionare.
eBay should remove fees from video game sales and put GameStop out of business
If you look at the deal, Gamestop didn’t have enough capital to do it.
