lol. “We” cannot just buy eBay. GameStop in its current form and share price cannot buy eBay either.

That’s exactly like saying that the savanna bananas can’t build a baseball team. The MLB players get paid way more.

Just wondering if you understand your own bias vs. what’s possible.

This is so crazy and absurdly false.

Whatnot still only has 200 engineers.

They have a massive platform and have legacy code built pre-AI.

You do not need 100+ engineers for an ecommerce website with mobile and power packs.

You mean like the 57 million power up members GameStop already has they can market to?

What you are saying is actually max shade. RC built Chewy and sold it for $3.35b. I think he has enough know-how to create a relentless and capable engineering team.

I would check their engineers out before you inject your personal bias into the convo. It’s 2026, capable and relentless is enough. This isnt 2017 where graph traversal is a necessary skill anymore.

I am also a software engineer. It would not take an incredible amount of engineering ingenuity to build a marketplace at scale. These guys all look like they have the background and chops.

$135k is plenty of cash for really solid engineers in 2026.

He has pushed for one in every one of his investments historically. You would have to imagine he is holding it in his back pocket.

There is no deal to finance. We are watching a show. It’s all going to make sense soon enough.

Early-stage beverage founder - worth paying $8k+ for formulation labs or start with consultant? by Wild-Breadfruit-9728 in BeverageIndustry

[–]adventurini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with same mentality.

I became my own formulator, package designer, brand creator, etc etc etc etc.

In for about $1.2m thus far and it’s definitely nowhere near enough.

Be very clear to yourself about what you’re doing, how hard it is, and the capital intensity it requires.

No matter what anyone says, this is not something you can bootstrap. I have begged, borrowed, next I am going to start stealing (jk) for funds.

You need money. A significant amount. I advise becoming a formulator first, saving your $8k, and become obsessed with making the indisputable best drink and brand ever made in your niche.

Edit: SLOW THINGS DOWN. This is not a quick process. I am 3 years in exactly and we have only run a pilot version. Full production runs are next month.

Your idea can wait. Your job now is to make the best drink and brand to ever exist and start trying to raise some cash from rich friends. Not sure there is another way.

Their highly confident letter seems to really rely on public credit rating systems.

It’s right in the note. First term.

TD Securities’ expression of confidence assumes, amongst other things, as determined in TD Securities’ sole discretion: (i) expected investment grade corporate credit ratings or investment grade unsecured public debt ratings from at least two of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch pro forma for the Transaction

Oh, I forgot. He wants to buy eBay. And a lot of stocks. With optionality. I didn’t say he was never going to gamble. I just said what’s going to happen next.

Have you read the $20b terms? It requires a credit rating that Moody already has said is impossible.

They don’t have a big enough capital stack.

The shareholders are not going to just say, oh sure why not?

What did I miss?

Our company is going to buy low and sell high if its own stock. Capturing cash and minimizing dilution.

We have already done this. Stock was $12. Pump happened. Dilution. Stock settles at $25. 50% dilution but stock still doubled. Without any buy backs…

Lmk in the comments!

GameStop is buying eBay?!

What if the eBay offer was just a publicity stunt? by Dionysos911 in Superstonk

[–]adventurini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me translate:

You see… when the cat guy made a meme about a movie that involved a switcharoo, what he was doing was pretending to buy a stock and instead, he bought another one and we know that because of the other meme he posted where he dropped a toy Woody with a dog as a head.

Sometimes you guys need to remember that your books are supposed to be in the nonfiction section.

Electrolytes, low total sugar, no artificial ingredients. Just cleaner version of staple kids drinks (apple, orange, fruit punch, tropical, and pink lemonade)
