A piggyback question: Where does the board see the value specifically in the eBay M&A acquisition? Brand recognition, established user base, website infrastructure, or something else?
To combine those questions, have you seen the post below from
@johnghutton, the premium business
@XBusiness lead on
@X?
In the recent annual report,
@GameStop identifies
#Amazon as a direct competitor. Collectors Inc. recently posted a job description for a high-level accountant role that specifically identifies filing regulatory paperwork with the SEC. As a private company, there are very few reasons they would hire this position if they weren’t planning to go public or spin out a portion of their business.
Has there been any discussion about further aligning the business model established through the
@powerpacks partnership with
@collectors to create a vertically integrated collectibles platform with the assets needed to compete against the mega platform
@fanatics has built?
While on the Collectors relationship, can you please clarify the distinct parameters under which Collectors holds certain assets related to Power Pass, how
#GameStop holds others, and how the financial relationship is structured?
@amazon has been, for the better part of two years, launching satellites for an unstated purpose, an educated guess being cell service to ensure their app is integrated and has early access to emerging markets, perhaps due to anticipation that the
@X everything app integrating a retail platform.
That being said that Amazon is either compounder and will have infrastructure to reach markets prior to traditional application platforms, if you have the time could you please review the post below, letting us know if this was brought directly to the GameStop board or just posted online.
If the
#GME board was aware, and a discussion of the merits of the suggestion has occurred, can you explain the evaluation strategy in determining that eBay would be the superior platform for future growth.
If this is the first you’re seeing it, without having the structural specifics on what the partnership would entail, financially and contractually; speaking just from the perspective of an entrepreneur based on the two organizations structural user base growth, which platform X or eBay do you think is superior for growing and transforming a traditional, brick and mortar business into a investment, emerging technology, and authenticated collectibles marketplace?
Would it be at least worth a look and a phone call as the relationship with
@XMoney,
@USMobile, and
@Starlink, are already in place
And finally, I promise this will be the last question. Has there been any thought into offering additional warrants at different strike prices and conversion rates for current GameStop holders to optionally purchase and fund merger and acquisition targets with their own cash to offset potential dilution in a stock-and-cash M&A deal?
