The forum should rebrand itself as a general seller forum since managed payments put an end to what the place was founded on. I've thought about trying to start my own but this isn't 2005 and I doubt I could ever get the traffic this place has.
Ghosting Amazon is dead, stealthing eBay is dead aside from a small subset of UK users, Etsy stealth failed to launch, and the crypto sphere is a bunch of rug pulling scammers who add no value to anything.

Bitcoin fell below $64,000 on 7/30/26 and its fans are upset.
Never understand crypto but it must have served a purpose to last that long,I read Iran has been able to use it well!

A little over 650 BTC was stolen yesterday. Some obscure Canadian company forgot to enable the true random number generator in the firmware for their hardware wallets. Because of that, some guy was able to crack the secret phrase for tons of offline hardware wallets in about 20 minutes, and drain them.
Overall the impact it had on the price of bitcoin was minimal. I'm noticing a huge (inorganic, it really seems) push for "storing all your crypto on exchanges" which I refuse to believe is how people really feel. I mean.. if you use Electrum and keep your private key secure, there's nothing to worry about. Almost feels like exchanges are begging users to store their coins in custodial wallets for liquidity purposes.
Edit: maybe it was closer to 600btc

The herd has definitely thinned out over the last few years. Fortunately, many sellers have decided to call it quits.

More power to him and I hope he's doing alright. He is/was an Amazon guy though and doing cross border FBA isn't really what I meant.

It takes $$ capital to buy all that merchandise for two warehouses.
I recall at one time when WMT,Sears are closing some stores in TX,they will mark down their merchandise by 35%,you know WMT prices are already low,and buying at such discount is cheaper than buying from wholesalers,and you save on freight.
One outfit which sells solely on AMZN will send 2 employees with Uhaul,one guy gets his brother in law and mother in law who has a station wagon,both outfits score 100% gross margin on AMZN.

It doesn't cost all that much to send merch to Amazon FBA. It just makes it really hard to turn a profit.

They did not use AMZN FBA,they keep the goods at home and warehouse
