But then the variation of pricing from one of that. And it's like, are we just summarizing eBay? It's what it seems like because it's the biggest marketplace, right?
For online or what we call trackable sales. Yeah. I don't have any problem with eBay. I just don't like them taking 13% of every sale. Yeah. I mean, I know they got to make money. I get it.

Is it their number one product on the entire platform? Got to be, right? It's right behind auto parts. That makes sense. It's crazy, the volume. We put stuff up there, you get eyeballs. I mean, any marketplace is, you know, you need attention to drive up the value.

Well, it starts with that slick interface and scanning the cards quickly, as accurate as any platform or more, I'd say, than the only one we use consistently. And literally getting that value.

So it makes a ton of sense that you then lead them to these other channels or aggregate them yourself. I know a smart businessman when I see him.
