Have you ever picked up a potential purchase in an antique store or an old relic among your family’s treasures and wondered, “How much is this really worth?” Will Seippel has asked himself that question throughout his life, which is why he developed WorthPoint, an online database for researching, valuing and buying/selling antiques, art and vintage collectibles. “I want to take in everything that’s possible in regards to data and art and go from $5 to $5 million on what’s in your house,” Seippel said. “It’s important to tell someone, ‘Hey, it’s not worth a lot,’ or to tell them, ‘You might be on to something, keep digging.'” Using price points from items sold through auctioning, eBay and more than 350 different sources, WorthPoint’s algorithm evaluates how much an item is worth for the user....

Activist investor Starboard Value LP has sent a letter to Ebay Inc.'s board chairman Thomas Tierney, expressing concern that the marketplace seller will ultimately fill the vacant chief executive position with an internal selection. "[W]e strongly believe that eBay should be focused on identifying qualified external candidates in order to hire a new CEO that will bring a fresh perspective and energy to the company after its prolonged underperformance," the letter said. Starboard would also like to see changes to eBay's board, and made four nominations on Feb. 28, 2020 to be considered at the stockholders meeting. Among the candidates are Shannon Brayton, most recently LinkedIn's chief marketing officer, and Peter Feld, managing member and head of research at Starboard. Feld authored the letter. Starboard owns more than 1% of eBay's outstanding shares. Starboard says it's pleased that eBay has sold its ticket business StubHub and is considering the sale of its classifieds business.
