Please don’t. eBay is good.

This is like Samsung planning to make an offer to acquire apple.

Except GameStop is a company that runs on pokemon cards.

If this somehow happens, what will happen to the overused talking point about how GME is a “great investment” because they have no debt and are sitting on a bunch of cash?

They’re trying to buy a business that actually makes money so they avoid going bankrupt with the one they have.

Ebay is the cheapest way to buy almost anything. I’ve loved it so much for like 20 years but the only people who use it seem to be boomers who remember it for buying and selling Beanie Babies.
