WhatNot

I came across an article today about a newer website that is for the purpose of selling off small items. The interesting thing about it is that it is sold live online. You are given a specific time and at that time, people enter your sale, along with you. You sell your item, the transaction is completed and you are done. The site says it will build from selling small collectables to selling electronics and other types of items. This site is new and is growing rapidly. It looks, to me, that this will become a usable site for the sales of HiFi. Keep your eyes on this as it grows and see if it becomes promising. If you have collectable items to sell, this might be the place to go now. They take a piece of your pie, but I did not catch the percentage rate. This place may become a winner as time goes by.

IMO limiting to a specific time window will also limit the potential customers.

With my tax situation, I am scrambling right now; so I did not look into it well.

I just watched 5 minutes of various stoned people's "shows" as they sell records. Interesting approach. Like a cross between YouTube or Instagram and eBay. Or eBay for shoppers with short attention spans. It could work.

Interesting. Didn't know it was live video.

Perhaps the next Billy Mays will be found.

I have zero interest in putting on a show to sell items. I’m sure it works great for energetic youths selling T-shirt’s though.
