I found this app in the app store while exploring the different platforms I could sell on. Stands out to me as a good app to do live sales I suppose if you provide value. Most the live shows seem to center around Pokemon cards and I haven't had a collection of cards since mine got stolen and ruined from water damage as a teen.

Started listing small collectables, got 2 sales from 1 buyer quite fast. I decided to get some cards, bought samples then 120 boosters of the cheapest cards available as far as Pokemon, then I ordered another 50 boosters of another set. I got a LuxuryVault card binder from eBay and I like the quality of it, holds 396 cards or something. I so far have some pages built.

Planning to offer the set, holo set, singles and mystery singles. Once the first pages of singles sell I will offer the same singles in the further pages at a increase of $.50 or $1, I can sell the holos for as low as $1 if they buy 5, but I havent dealt much with shipping cards. Some of the boosters I got have only 3 cards, but they have a holo in each pack with high HP that I sleeve after opening the pack. Broke open all 120 even though I wanted to include some in orders as a bonus, might reorder some after I start making sales. Going to try it out on the live sales once I break open the new Pokemon boosters and add them to my binder! From a $27 box of 120 boosters I hope I can pull in over $100, if that sounds too greedy then consider that I had to order, pickup, break open, organize and sleeve+..

So I got my eye on a wholesale lot on eBay from a seller of 100 "slabs" PSA and other grading 10s and 9's for a hefty chunk of change, talked to the seller but have to wait. The cheap cards and figures are to test it out because I need faster moving sales. Reason I am not confident is because I have only done so much research in the way of viewing some of these sellers, but 100 viewers does not seem like a lot for the most popular sellers. I just don't understand how so many people buy from such low number of viewers?

I see people selling "blind packs" or whatever the lingo is, one lady on there kept buying one after another... So seems there is some options. Giveaways are a option there as well and the platform seems quite flexible as far as what is allowed, did their webinar already. Will show you how I set up the binder and how my sales will be a little different soon.

There is one lady in lingerie there selling stuff, I'm sure after a while they will be selling stuff from a hot tub like those Twitch streamers (Even Twitch seems low users, must mean stiff competition?).
 
I used to sell sneakers in bulk to whatnot sellers. Even the biggest sellers normally get under 1K views in the sneaker game. Overall, most of the products you sell, you need to be willing to take 40% or more under market value. Whatnot is good because of the quick turnaround time, so a lot of sneaker resellers with a decent following will fly out to a sneaker event, buy shoes, and go on whatnot and sell them all in the same day. It takes consistency to grow and at first you'll probably be selling items for dirt cheap.
 
Im now looking into "multi live line splitters" or whatever they call them. So that way I can do live shows on 5 apps/platforms instead of 1. Looking at the options off and on rn.
