Join us on the Pure Hustle Podcast for episode 503, our latest update episode where we catch up on everything happening in our reselling lives and the broader reselling world. We share our personal progress with listing (including how an AI tool has completely changed the game for us), recent garage sale finds like Lululemon clothing, and how we're using eBay profits for real-life fun and tax advantages. We dive into hot topics including the new mega Goodwill stores, shifting reselling strategies, and the exciting rumors around Ryan Cohen and potential GameStop moves with eBay. In our popular Discord Dialogue segment with Tim, we discuss everything from the risks of selling vintage/old stock food items and collector pieces to eBay shipping policies, estimated delivery times, and community questions. We also drop fresh BOLOs including World Cup/soccer collectibles and Hawaiian/sports shirts that could be worth watching. If you're into eBay reselling, thrift flipping, garage sales, AI tools for sellers, or just want real talk from fellow resellers, this episode is packed with updates, laughs, and actionable insights.

Between GameStop and Ryan Cohen's clownery and new Xbox leadership's 100-day death march, it's another grim moment for the game industry. Former OpenAI head (now Xbox CEO) Asha Sharma laments the hardware crisis caused by… AI. We're all trying to find the guy that did this, after all. Look… Sharma is no doubt a sin eater, but as she perches herself on the glass cliff, how many people will suffer? Also: Ubisoft attempts to embargo news of studio closures and layoffs, Destiny 2 rides into the sunset, and… it's earnings time, so we get to talk about why profits don't save jobs.

Gary Kusin is a legendary entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and former CEO of GameStop and the executive who led Kinko's through a remarkable turnaround before its $2.4 billion acquisition by FedEx. Over a decades-long career, Gary has built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses while developing a reputation as one of the sharpest strategic thinkers in entrepreneurship. In this episode, Travis shares some of his biggest lessons from Gary's appearance on the show, covering everything from mentorship and hard work to debt management and identifying opportunities in the marketplace. On this episode we talk about: Why finding a market opportunity is often more important than following your passion The role mentors played in Gary's career and how great mentorship can change your trajectory Why hard work and working smart are complementary—not competing—ideas The dangers of debt in seasonal and cyclical businesses How constantly building relationships and maintaining a Plan B creates long-term career security Top 3 Takeaways The best business opportunities often come from identifying unmet market demand rather than pursuing personal passions. Mentorship can dramatically accelerate success, but the most effective mentors are often outside your organization and industry. Staying prepared, building relationships, and keeping your options open creates opportunities long before you need them. Notable Quotes "Find the hole in the market. The passion can stay a hobby." "Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness." "The people who win the most work smarter and harder."

Use code "SCI" at arenaclub.comDid Panini use Artificial Intelligence to write the backs of their new sports cards? The new Panini Signature Series basketball set features player descriptions that are so poetic and absurd that many collectors are convinced they were generated by AI. However, Panini has officially denied the claims to The Athletic, stating that a team of former sportswriters penned the copy. In this episode of Cards on the Table, we read some of the most ridiculous examples—including wild descriptions for V.J. Edgecombe, Carter Bryant, and Joan Beringer—and debate whether this "AI slop" is a disaster or exactly what the hobby needs to make card backs fun to read again.Plus, we break down Beckett Grading's massive 49% output increase in May and debate if BGS should adjust their grading scale to hand out more Pristine 10s following PSA's recent value tier shutdown. We also analyze GameStop's Q1 financial reports (showing collectibles officially overtaking video games) and discuss the sports card market impact of the massive Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals matchup!Key Topics Covered:Panini AI Controversy: Did Panini use ChatGPT to write the outrageous card backs in their new Signature Series set?

De aandeelhouders van AkzoNobel zijn een illusie armer. De Japanse- en Amerikaanse kopers lopen weg. Het overnamebod gaat niet door. Waardoor ook de overname-fantasie in het aandeel foetsie is: dat stort in elkaar. Deze aflevering kijken we naar de toekomst van AkzoNobel. Het enige alternatief is nu de fusie met het Amerikaanse Axalta (waar vooral de directie zelf zin in heeft), maar ook die kan nog mislukken. Aandeelhouders kunnen hem nog wegstemmen. Humanoids, die komen ook voorbij. Elon Musk zet daar met Tesla groot op in. Geen gekke gedachte, als je naar de voorspelling van Barclays kijkt. Die denken dat de markt voor menselijke robots goed is voor 200 miljard dollar. We zoeken voor je uit hoeveel Tesla van die taartpunt pakt. Over Elon Musk gesproken: er is ook nieuws over de beursgang van SpaceX. Dat is dat andere bedrijf waar hij ook een groot belang in heeft. We weten hoeveel aandelen er uitgegeven worden en hoeveel je per aandeel moet neertikken. Verder hoor je meer over een politicus die aandelen wil kopen in de 'ASML's van de toekomst'. En we moeten het weer over de importheffingen van president Trump hebben. Hij heeft een nieuwe manier gevonden om Europa aan te vallen. Volgens hem omdat er hier sprake is van dwangarbeid... Te gast: Martine Hafkamp van Fintessa Vermogensbeheer BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Wall Street startet uneinheitlich in den Tag. Der Nasdaq bleibt dank der anhaltenden Halbleiter-Stärke gefragt, während Dow Jones und S&P 500 etwas nachgeben. Seit gestern Abend stehen vor allem Quartalszahlen im Fokus: Palo Alto Networks lieferte solide Ergebnisse und hob den Ausblick an, dennoch steht die Aktie vorbörslich unter Druck. Auch GitLab meldete besser als erwartete Zahlen, kündigte aber zugleich den Abbau von rund 14 Prozent der Belegschaft an. Auch hier reagiert die Aktie zunächst schwächer. Die Reaktion auf Ulta Beauty ist ebenfalls flau. Der Konzern überzeugte mit starken Umsätzen, besseren Margen und einer angehobenen Jahresprognose. Macy's kann hingegen von den robusten Zahlen und Aussichten profitieren. GameStop meldete ebenfalls deutlich bessere Zahlen und kündigte ein neues Aktienrückkaufprogramm über 2 Milliarden US-Dollar an. Heute Abend wird Broadcom zum nächsten wichtigen Stimmungstest für die KI-Rally. Entscheidend ist, ob die hohen Erwartungen an das Geschäft mit KI-Chips weiter erfüllt werden.

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: In the Netherlands, engineer Thomas built a motion-sensing car with a water-tank seat for his goldfish Blub, who drove 40 feet 3.46 inches in one minute to set a world record; Thomas hopes the technology can be useful for mobility issues. In New York, 270 people in Mario costumes gathered at a GameStop on March 10 to celebrate Mario's holiday and beat the prior record of 230 set in China in 2010.

May 27, 2026 - Zach goes solo to break down why the current energy setup may be one of the clearest value-with-a-catalyst opportunities he's seen since the GameStop short squeeze and the 2021–2022 energy trade. He explains why investors continue crowding into AI and semiconductor momentum while largely ignoring what he believes are historically undervalued energy producers sitting in front of a major supply shortage. Zach also discusses oil inventories, SPR math, China's strategic reserves, valuation discipline, value investing psychology, and why the best trades often feel the hardest to own in real time.

In Episode 302 of Remarkable Retail, Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc sit down with Eric Sadi, Co-President, North America at Simon Property Group, for a long-overdue conversation on what the modern mall has actually become—and why the obituaries keep aging badly. Eric walks through Simon's reimagination strategy: replacing tired anchor boxes with mixed-use destinations that braid together dining, entertainment, fitness, hospitality, and even residential living. He explains why occupancy at the top of the portfolio sits above 96%, why rents and tenant sales keep climbing, and why human connection, discovery, and community still drive the consumer behaviour the algorithms can't replicate. The "third place" isn't a slogan—it's a deliberate redesign of what a shopping centre is for. The conversation also takes on the most misunderstood narrative in retail: why Walmart, Target, Apple, and a new generation of experiential brands keep pouring billions into stores when so much of the growth lives online. The short answer? Stores aren't just sales channels anymore. They're infrastructure, media, and community. The "stores are dying" story is one of the laziest media frames in the business, and Steve and Michael take it apart. Before the interview, the hosts unpack a packed news week: renewed inflation worries as fuel, transportation, and food costs climb again, and what that means for retailer margins; standout earnings from some of the most remarkable performers in the business, including Simon's continued strength, On Running's expanding margins and rising cultural heat, and The RealReal's case that luxury resale is one of the fastest-growing corners of fashion. They also weigh in on GameStop's bid for eBay—and eBay's flat rejection—a strong candidate for dumbest story of the year. Plus Amazon's latest AI moves and what they signal about where the platform wars are headed. The episode closes with Steve wondering whether rising fuel costs will drive more online sales and Michael's specialty grocery discoveries in Los Angeles: Laurel Supply, Gonzalez Northgate Market, and the much-anticipated arrival of T&T.

It appears that Xbox got sick of the whole weekly negative news cycle schtick and has decided to go in the other direction. Is this week's news truly all that positive? I sincerely depends on how you look at it and nobody will actually know until much later. Asha Sharma has made new additions to her leadership team. Sarah Bond's former team has been replaced by alumni of Meta, Instacart, and CoreAI which all happen to be people that worked with Asha at the same time she led those respective companies. Is this the invasion of AI into Xbox as we initially feared? We get into that, but there's almost zero doubt that Xbox anticipated this because they pulled out quite the plot twist. Copilot for console and mobile is stopped, effective immediately. So, while there is more AI focused leadership than ever in Xbox, they also just axed one of the worst things the brand started rolling out last year. How do the Dukes feel about all of this? Well, that's why you're here, no? Pull up a chair, relax, and let's talk about Xbox some more before Brad returns and ruins it all.Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.0:00:00 - Intro0:09:13 - Health Is Wealth0:16:28 - Halo 2 & 3 reportedly being remade0:38:22 - New Xbox boot up screen for the first time in 6 years0:42:12 - Jez Corden's latest Xbox exclusivity scoop1:10:20 - GameStop is trying to acquire eBay1:17:06 - Steam Machine pre orders soon?1:21:17 - PS4 and XB1 may finally be on the way out1:27:54 - Bank Of America wants higher priced games1:33:03 - NBA: The Run revealed and arrives June 20261:38:00 - Are content creators heavily influencing the conversation?1:56:15 - Marathon has story plans for the next few years1:59:00 - Looking ahead at May 2026 game releases2:27:17 - What We're Playing3:10:04 - Xbox is giving up Copilot and bringing in a new leadership group Learn more about your ad choices.
