$GME and $EBAY’s board agree — the company is worth more than $125.
Cohen proved it by acquiring 9.3% exposure including ~2.4M shares while eBay management sold ~2.4M since 2020.
Shareholders want value creation above $125 and aligned incentives.
The outsider delivers both. The current management delivers neither.

@cvpayne — $GME just authorized a $2B buyback — up to 22% of the public float at current prices.
59M warrants outstanding at $32 generate $1.9B when exercised — offsetting the entire buyback spend.
Every share bought below $32 is accretive.
The full $2B can be deployed before Q2 10-Q disclosure.
Is this the most elegant self-financing buyback on Wall Street right now?
$GME
@MarketWatch & @Reuters:
$GME economic exposure in $EBAY is 7.78%, not the 6.6% you reported today.
Over half a billion dollars difference on a $56B story — public for 4 days.
13Ds are dropping faster than the coverage can keep up.

@eBay invented Buy It Now so buyers could skip the auction.
@ryancohen ’s $125 bid was rejected — so he did exactly that. 7.78% 🔒at a discount
• $GME record Q1 net income & operating income, sales up 14%. $9.7B war chest. $2B buyback approved
• $EBAY buyers & sellers fleeing, officers cashing out below $90, now spending shareholder money on Innisfree to re-elect the board that rejected $125
How long will the auction site prefer Buy It Now over their highest bid.
Time=Money. $GME $EBAY
Is spending $1.2B — 14x revenue — on Depop really ‘disciplined capital allocation’ — or buying users to replace the ones they couldn’t satisfy?
The app is still losing money and needed a cash injection from Etsy just to keep the lights on. Etsy paid $1.625B and is about to take a $425M bath. If the deal falls apart $EBAY owes Etsy $160M for nothing.
Can’t wait to hear this ROI spin from Paris. $EBAY @ryancohen $GME
So @eBay is an auction site losing buyers & sellers, run by a board that turned down a $125 bid — a 46% premium — as ‘neither credible nor attractive’ while its officers sold below $90.
$EBAY sits at $110 — after $GME 🔒 7.78% economic exposure at a discount.
The only thing not credible or attractive are those feeding off eBay’s perverse incentives.
Can’t wait for @ryancohen to shatter EPS with the value $EBAY couldn’t deliver to its shareholders.

@sneedweb A $125 bid from @ryancohen was unattractive to the @eBay board while officers were selling below $90
Fitting #eBay won’t match a willing buyer w/ eager sellers, so RC is using “Buy It Now” to add 2.78%, saving ~$150M
Every day they say no, $eBay shareholders gift value to $GME
