The Gamestop buyout has been news for a while but I like what he says in this recent interview about treating the sellers as the real customer. Look after them and the site will flourish.
Also some promising ideas about improving customer service and lots of other stuff.
He seems pretty determined to acquire the site, by hook or by crook.

·1 month agoAfter ebay's rejection I thought the takeover bid had faded away ?
From what I read at the time, I thought the offer was only semi-serious anyway, as much to give Gamestop a publicity boost as a serious bid ?
Have there been more developments since then ?

OP1 month agoI'm not sure, but CEO of Gamestop Ryan Cohen continues to give interviews about how he's determined to get hold of Ebay, perhaps even forcing a takeover by going to the shareholders.
It could all be 'hot air' but he seems pretty passionate and seems to be on the side of sellers
