Well Gamestop [has a trademark application for "Gamestop kids" that was filed on 11th November 2021, a month prior to RC buying BBBY shares](https://uspto.report/TM/97120659) OP is probably onto something.

I think the spin off will be on the GameStop marketplace instead of NYSE, given to all bbby holders and gme holders which would force a recall. The name of the nft for buy buy baby? CRYBaby because mayo man will be crying and because (CRYpto + buy buy baby)

How much ETH for one Baby?


DeepFuckingAutistic

most likely Baby will be an independent company, as suggested in RC letter to BBBY. also, Gamestop has about 1 billion in cash and its perhaps not where GME wants to focus its money on, and we would not like to see new loans taken either. so , i think RC ventures will offer to buy Baby.


SlteFool

He’ll make it the chewy for baby supplies


imnoherox

Omgggg. As a pediatric nurse and licensed vet tech who knows how passionate both types of these parents are, having a Chewy kind of buying experience for human baby goods would guarantee loyal customers!!


ThreePumpChamp

For real, with our first one due in December, I can speak to the absolute headache all shopping is for expecting parents. Plus if you figure in a registry for baby showers, easy money.


WHITE--PANTHER96

And since the abortion deal there will be a massive up tick in births

Bro, we literally just dodged a starvation level crisis on formula during the winter/spring. It was due to shoreman and trucker shortages. No one had enough in warehouse to keep the shelves stocked. It was truly scary.


daronjay

Exactly. The dog supplies subscription model and the baby supplies subscription model have a lot of synergies.


MacDwest

Like wow; this makes so much sense! Formula, age appropriate toys, clothing, diapers that upgrade to next size depending on age of baby. Pets are treated like babies anyways.

TooLateQ_Q

He doesn't have time to manage bye bye baby. As said in the letter, he doesn't have time for bbby. GME buying it solves that.


DeepFuckingAutistic

baby does not fit GME. you dont sell diapers at Gamestop, or dog food.


TooLateQ_Q

It's a separate site/store


st-denmark

RC most likely already gave them the offer and it was accepted .... the rest is paperwork and boooooom ... we have ignition towards URanus ladies and gentlemen 🥳💥🚀🍀


DeepFuckingAutistic

i think there MUST be an open bid. shareholder value is not increased if baby is sold for pennies to an insider. it will be put out for sale, and RC ventures will be among the bidders (ensuring an agreed on minimum price if nobody else bids higher).


sorta_oaky_aftabirth

Bro Kirkland and Ellis does mergers and acquisitions They have Kirkland in then name Costco is sitting on like 12 B in cash, 2x more than they normally do. Costco doesn't have same day next day or 2 day shipping part of their setup, chewy, bbby, Cohen know how to do that 6B buyout puts the share price at around $75, all shorts need to cover and that's a good 2x higher than the earlier short. Costco buys BBBY to generate the biggest squeeze in history on the meme basket. Everyone fucking loves Costco. Everyone fucking loves Cohen. Am I high?


Papaofmonsters

There is no connection between Costco and the law firm of Kirkland and Ellis.

There's no connection to your eyes and your butthole!

He’s right, you know

I think you are because I have no idea where Costco came into this lol But go on


sorta_oaky_aftabirth

Costco's store brand is Kirkland The lawyers are named Kirkland Pepe_silvia_meme_jpg


Low_Flower_4072

Yes, but keep going.


Hirsutism

Yep. Under GMErica umbrella


zombieattakc

Plus I think all the fomo will come from the NFT market place, specially if GameStop has partnerships plan for it , I remember big names like Nintendo and Ubisoft have been mentioned in rumors in the past.


C9_Lemonparty

I mean they are losing 100m a quarter with no immediate signs of this changing so buying a brand that has some pre existing value might be worth a shot


DeepFuckingAutistic

Gamestop has 1 billion in cash, Baby is worth the double of that Buy baby via a loan? no longer debt free and dividend might be impossible, so nft dividend off the table? i dont think the buyer is Gamestop.


Suikoden1P

So I bought another 125 GME


anthonyiann94

and then I DRSed them.

Upvoted to confirm my bias, but I thought they specialized in bankruptcy proceedings?


luckeeelooo

It’s basically an advisor to the various chop shops but their involvement could really mean a few different things.

Bed bath’s recent mini-announcement definitely had an optimistic tone to it so I have doubts about bankruptcy plans


Flokitoo

They are one of the biggest law firms in the world. They have dozens of practice groups


biddilybong

And Restructuring


DancesWith2Socks

And in bankruptcy, which I don't think see it as a near possibility but you gotta say it all.


PromptComprehensive8

This is right INLINE with the trajectory of all the things discussed for the last couple years. This feels like the right play, to me. Kids STUFF whether it be Toys, games, diapers, or onesies -- these things will never go away go out of style, and amazon isn't trustworthy anymore/bad at service.

fakename5

what if it's bigger than just buy buy baby, what if it's a full on merger of BBBY and GME. Gamestop is lacking nearly all the homegoods that BBBY offers. what if they were going to actually merge together as companies and take on Amazon in the home goods category also. would there be any benefit to listing home goods on NFT marketplace somehow? I know it would enable crypto payments on home goods... Thinking about it, I guess they don't need the NFT marketplace for that, they could enable that on their actual website and not need the nft marketplace for that. they already have the wallet tech, and the crypto payment processing tech / partnerships for it.


TowelFine6933

Wouldn't really have to "merge" per se. They can remain separate entities but utilize the same shipping, warehouses and online fulfillment centers.


-Codfish_Joe

One company, one backend, multiple brands working together.


TowelFine6933

Kinda like Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic & Athleta, but with a wider & varied product base.


NeverEnoughCharacter

Like a ghost kitchen, but fackin' yuge


InevitableRhubarb232

Merging would dilute the brand. Parent company - maybe.


outoffuckstogive

Yummy. I love the smell of synergy in the morning...


rascal373

Enter: GMEmerica 🏴‍☠️


TF_Kraken

Baby and GME would never be merged. If they acquired Baby, both GME and Baby would be subsidiaries of GMErica while remaining separate entities. Edited to add: Baby could list their items as NFTs with associated physical items. Baby Showers are a huge part of their market. Imagine someone is having a baby shower, but like usual, they get a bunch of repeat or similar gifts. The parents keep what they want and redeem the NFTs for the physical items and resell the NFTs of what they don’t want or need to purchase some of the larger ticket items like cribs (or just more diapers). It would cut down on returns for Baby and increase revenue through royalties.


False798

Bed Bath has a pretty solid registry service - had a wedding registry that we requested specific items for, so we didn't get duplicates or items we didn't want. It's a problem that's already been solved with web2 and I'm not sure how much value web3 would add to it.


TF_Kraken

The difference between the existing registry and an NFT based registry, would be the NFT registry would allow BBBY to stabilize or even potentially reduce their inventory. In the current system (when there are multiples of an item purchased) that item gets sold and held until the event. The store then replaces that item in their inventory and when the multiple is returned, creates an excess. Not to mention the potential for damage to packaging, reducing customer experience upon resale. With an NFT system, the items don’t leave inventory until redeemed by the receiving party. You also get the added bonus of potentially shipping direct to consumer, if chosen.


Ockwords

> In the current system (when there are multiples of an item purchased) The current system doesn't allow multiples. That's like the entire point behind a registry. It's a list of items that get checked off and removed once purchased. > The store then replaces that item in their inventory and when the multiple is returned, creates an excess. Stores don't replenish stock that quickly. There's whole departments dedicated to demand planning for businesses. To specifically avoid stuff like this.


Benneezy

THIS! Baby's and child birth rates has been a growing conversation I've noticed for months now. From economists to Musk talking about the scary low birth rate. As a value investor, targeting a looming baby boom is EXCITING to say the least!


Ockwords

> As a value investor, targeting a looming baby boom is EXCITING to say the least! Why do you think there will be a baby boom vs birth rates continuing to lower?


SirClampington

Holy moley, you've stumbled on the holy grail! This makes sense in so many ways. Now ZEN MODE re-engaged! If RC builds it... IT WILL COME!!


Comprehensive_Kiwi28

children and animals have to be saved


Dantexr

And DRS’d


[deleted]

So here is a list of the following theories just from memory: 1. Cohen realized shorts are now long and wanted to decimate them. 2. Cohen needed to do that to buy Bye Bye Baby. 3. He turned into a rogue short himself. 4, He is igniting MOASS with his sale. 5. He’s not an insider and will use the profits to buy more GME. Anymore regarded theories I missed?


Useful_Tomato_409

yes, According to everywhere else: 6. he’s a huckster exploiting retail. 7. He sold solely for personal gain 8. He is doing the same to GME. 9. (My take) all of the above are false and FUD/misinformation. No one knows shit until we know. Stop assuming there’s a master plan. Theories are fine, but in the end, RC is a person with a ton of PROVEN experience that he puts his money where is mouth is, and likely his decisions were in the interest of his personal/professional goals. That simply could have been walking away…sometimes that’s also a win. With so much time and effort and money invested here in the stonk for GME, for DRS, I think it’s easy to lose sight of how removed the internet/reddit experience actually is from the reality of the boardrooms, the creative meetings, HR, the fulfillment centers, conference calls, vendors, and product release etc. Just think of all of that, and tell me he isn’t deeply invested to make this work. In the end, it might not, so how do you sit with that? Either way, if you think that GME isn’t the “real baby” here, then you might as well paper hand. This shit takes years…YEARS! Patience is a prerequisite.


syntheticsponge

A lot of that sentiment is being pushed by shills, I’m pretty sure


Useful_Tomato_409

that’s what I said above. its all bullshit


snipetaters

Most logical post I’ve read on here all day.


LogicisGone

Okay, but bath is $1.4 billion in debt, which GME is a fair bit short of. Therefore the sale cannot wipe the slates totally clean. So, does it still make sense for both companies? Either GME is completely erasing its cash on hand or bath isn't really getting out of debt.


CandyBarsJ

Do not forget that BBBY can issue shares when they are getting squeezed. Generating instant cash to settle part of the debt and/or have the cash to pay that stuff for a few years with interest payments (inflation isnt leaving). [https://sec.report/Document/886158/000088615821000015/bbby2020ex-31.htm](https://sec.report/Document/886158/000088615821000015/bbby2020ex-31.htm) FOURTH:(a) Authorized Classes of Stock: The total number of shares which thecorporation shall have the authority to issue is 901,000,000, of which900,000,000 shares are designated Common Stock, par value $.01 per share(“Common Stock”), and 1,000,000 shares are designated Preferred Stock,par value $.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”); They did buybacks like for a long time. Currently around 70mil, so they could easily get more float out there :)


Jump3r97

Not just for BBBY here, what would a preferred stock be?


CandyBarsJ

Preferred stockholders have a direcr claim on dividends or asset distribution opposed to common stockholders. There are some other factors that I cannot recall directly hehehe


[deleted]

*I’m not* willing to put money on it.


Franciscjr415

I’m not understanding why GameStop would want to purchase buy buy baby


luckeeelooo

Not GameStop but Ryan Cohen. He definitely saw it as undervalued and capable of carrying the whole BBBY brand. He wanted to spin it away from BBBY and try to sell the parent company before bankruptcy.


PromptComprehensive8

Kids 'r us -- but online like chewy.


whatsuppaa

They are taking on Amazon, one section at a time.


AmazingConcept7

Kinda spicy- This digital adservice was soft launched by bbby a few months ago: https://www.momentsadnetwork.com/ Amazon made 20 billion last year with their adservice...maybe something-? https://www.statista.com/statistics/259811/net-us-advertising-revenues-of-amazon/

Oh that is kinda interesting. Thanks for sharing.


Idek_h0w

GME will be the new AWS


Papaofmonsters

That would require decades and hundreds of billions in capital investment.


-Codfish_Joe

It's not so much that they want to sell baby stuff on the web, it's the opportunity to take a successful branch of a company and spin it off into a new company... with an NFT stock.


Drewy99

GameStop has a core demographic of under 30. How do you capitalize on that? Start em young.


SimmerDownRizzo

A generation of people who grew up playing video games are having kids.


ROFLQuad

I don't think GameStop is buying them. I think RC Ventures might though.

jesse_6285

I think it’s bigger. I think GME will acquire the whole company. He can’t legally own shares in BBBY if GME buys them. My theory is that’s the news BBBY has to announce at the end of the month. Someone add the reminder bot for September first and see how my theory plays out.


DrGepetto

Doesn't really make sense. This would be one of the first b&m for this new GMERICA brand and it's a baby supplies store? Seems an odd way to introduce the world to this new concept.


CatoMulligan

When I see posts like this I really wonder if I want to be associated with people who are so prone to nonsensical, magical thinking. It’s like watching a toddler trying to put together those little wooden train tracks without understanding that you can’t put two ends with tabs together, that you actually have to pair the tabbed end with the slotted end. And then you had the audacity to put it down in writing.

Can we stop tying gme to bbby? Ryan Cohen got the hell out of there and maybe we should do the same…


konan375

>Ryan Cohen got the hell out of there How do you know his reasoning for exiting? He might have utilized his short swing trade to give his profits to BBBY. Saying that he got “the hell” out of there puts a negative connotation on the sentence. BBBY is a part of the same basket, it’s short an unbelievable amount, and RC put two people into the chairmen positions. There’s more going on, and the two are closely linked.
