It’s a plot to solve loneliness by pairing Etsy witches with GameStop degenerates

BREAKING: amc is acquiring etsy for absolutely no fucking reason

I just wish eBay (and Etsy) sellers would stop raking us on shipping in 🍁. Biggest detractor for me. The shipping will be 300% of the cost of the item a lot of the time. Fuck that.

* GameStop is preparing a potential bid for eBay as part of a broader transformation strategy. * CEO Ryan Cohen is driving the push to scale GameStop into a $100B+ company, expanding far beyond gaming and collectibles. * GameStop (≈$12B market cap) has been quietly accumulating a stake in eBay (≈$45–46B market cap), signaling serious acquisition intent despite the size gap. * A formal offer could come within weeks; if rejected, GameStop may appeal directly to eBay shareholders (hostile approach). * Cohen’s compensation is heavily tied to performance, with potential stock gains up to ~$35B if valuation targets (including $100B market cap) are achieved. * Influential investor Michael Burry has supported the idea of using GameStop’s cash for transformative M&A. * GameStop’s stock is up ~30% YTD, partly on deal speculation; eBay’s stock has risen >50% over the past year on improved business focus. * eBay has been strengthening its core categories and recently acquired Depop from Etsy for $1.2B. * GameStop holds a large cash position (~$9B), providing firepower for acquisitions, though still below the scale needed for a full buyout without financing.
