definitely one of my least informative shows. 🤣

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:29

Howdy there guys. I hope everybody is doing well. It is 3 a.m. here in Texas. I haven't been up for an hour on whatnot. And I just oh my gosh. I just gotta tell you what what I'm thinking and what's going on. And I just I I do these shows to help y'all out. But oh my gosh, it's like so painful to see some of the stuff that you see. My dog wants up. Oh, come here. Okay, now the dog's up. Um, guys, oh my gosh. Um, I don't even know where to start. Okay, let me just tell you, somebody is on here. I mean, you know, you're never gonna know who I'm talking about, so I can say pretty much whatever, whatever the hell I want. But um, there is a guy, it's the middle of the night. He's in a certain category. I'm gonna keep it very uh ambiguous here, and uh, he's in a certain category, and he is doing everything wrong. Like, oh my gosh, it was so painful to go into this room and watch it, y'all. And um, I just I just I don't I don't even know how, how, how some people can even go on, and I oh my gosh, y'all, it was such a train wreck. Like we're talking train wreck. Okay, first of all, had rap music that had words that start with I I'm not even gonna they were it was some bad, bad the all kinds of words. Let's just leave it at that. All kinds of words in the wrong category. I mean, if he was selling, you know, in a different category, he could get away with that. But he was not selling in I I told him he didn't listen, he just kept doing it. He said, Oh well, you gotta stay in your own lane. And I thought, uh, yeah, you're in the wrong lane for that music, buddy. You are not where you're supposed to be. And I kindly and gently said, Hey, if you change the music, you'll do better. He didn't listen to advice, he didn't take any hints. He uh he didn't run anything, nothing was running. Let's just sit here and talk to everybody, never running anything. You're not gonna get the algorithm to bring more people in if you don't run anything. And he would hold up something and he would expect tons and tons of people to like come into his room and buy stuff, and nobody was. There was like seven of us in there, and I was trying to help, but he was like, I've got these really good things. If you get all your friends in at 2 30 in the middle of the night, if you get all your friends in here and you get me up to X amount of people, then I'll run the good stuff. Well, good luck with that, buddy, because I I I tried for like 15 minutes with this guy. I put up with the music, I put up with him not running stuff, I put up with him holding stuff and not not even giving us prices, not knowing. I mean, it was just and I thought, you guys, do not do what this guy's doing. I I just I hear and see all the time people going, I I give up, I give up, I can't do whatnot anymore. Oh, oh, it's so awful. Nobody comes into my room, and I'm wondering if those same people who say things like that are the same people who are doing what this guy's doing. It's like just call me. Just my phone number's in my profile. Call me before you do a show, and I will tell you, yes, this is why. Because it's just like, it's it's like you know you're being an idiot. I saw uh I'm watching this show, and it was uh it was these people, and uh they were driving down the highway and they were being really reckless and everything, and the sheriff pulls them over and says, Hey, you know what you're doing, and he goes, Oh, you know, we only live once, you know, we get to do our way, you know. Uh come on, officer, don't give us and he's like, you know, hey, it's great for you, but it's not great for oncoming traffic. So these people who go on and they think that they can just do whatever they want and and run whatever they want, not price anything, not list anything, not not have any information about anything that are selling, and that that people are just gonna come and just what world are you people in? I just want to like scream, like stop, pay attention. There is tons and tons of research. You guys can go to the internet, you can go to YouTube, you can read tons of information on whatnot. And I know this isn't the majority of my listeners and people who have listened to some of my episodes and people who give me good ratings and reviews. I know it's not you guys because you're here. I'm proud of you for listening, for thinking first. But these people who go on, do not go into the rooms and and wait for them because they're not doing anything. I they're just gonna have to learn the hard way, I guess. I I I don't I don't know. Okay, I'm I'm I'm getting out of it. I just ah guys, it's it's so hard to watch this. Anyways, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you some other things. Okay, besides not running the algorithm, not knowing what you're talking about, not having good lighting. I went into another show. I was about, I was like a fourth of an inch from buying like a bunch of stuff. They didn't have a phone cord plugging in. Whatnot is going to suck your charge, guys. Plug your phone in. Uh it's just like the basic, basic stuff. And I get that everybody has to learn at their own pace, but I swear, people are not even thinking before they go on. I just I'm I've got my laptop here. I'm going to go at three o'clock in the morning to some different categories just to see what's up, what's going on. Um, I'm gonna go into women's fashion. We'll we'll just because I don't usually go there, honestly. Um yeah, I'm looking. Somebody's doing Wolf of Whatnot is doing free people with Tiffany. She's got 167 people in that room. Killing it. She's killing it. She's doing the things right, guys. This is why I'm on doing this show because she's describing it, she's holding it up, she's got good lighting, she's a premiere shopper, she's got show notes. This isn't hard. It's not that hard. She's doing it. She's got 50 people in the giveaway. She's got a really cool brick wall behind her, she's got lots of bins, so she's showing everybody. She's starting everything at I think a dollar or three dollars. Hold on. She just sold a green and white striped shirt for 16 bucks. She's handing it to somebody so they can take it. So she's not off screen for too long. She is right now, she's off screen for, but she's not here. She is, she's back on. Um, she's looking for more stuff to run.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Yeah, but it's 71.

unknown 7:34

And then put it in my back.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

She it looks like she's teaching a new beer, somebody who's working with her. She's having a drink, staying hydrated. She's dressed appropriately, she doesn't have inappropriate music on. Not at all. She's showing the items, she's showing it, she's doing good. She's running everything at$3. Boom. She's not confused. She knows what she's doing. She's got two days shipping. It's probably because of the amount that she's selling. She's kicking ass. She looks good. She's got her hair back. Guys, do this. This is the wolf of whatnot. She spells it with an O before the T, like an actual O instead of an um, I mean, um, a zero instead of an O. But I mean, she's selling stuff for anywhere from seven dollars to seventeen dollars while I've been in here. New with tags. Here it goes. Extra small. And so she's got an amazing mod in here. And her mod is putting everything with cute little emojis. I'm gonna just shout out this mod. I don't think I've ever shouted out a mod. N-U-N-A-B-E-A-N underscore O-G. I'm gonna follow you. She's new. That's another thing that you guys can do. If you're new and you're just trying to get into a certain lane, you can go mod for people who are doing really well. This girl is getting a lot of attention because she's modding, she's making friends, she's getting connected. Some of you are like, I don't even know what that means to mod. It means that you go in and you write in the information down below. So I'm I I just okay, I was gonna tell you some other things. Okay, keep the plug on, keep the lighting, know what you're doing, keep the right music. Um, that that the guy's screen went uh just totally wacky. I told him to message me. Um, he couldn't get out of it. So if you guys ever have a problem, scroll up, go out of your show and come back. If it's still messed up, you're out a lot. You're just gonna have to start your show over. We tried and tried and tried. After a certain amount of time, I'm thinking five minutes if you try and if you can't get it to work. Um unfortunately, you can call it a whatnot glitch. It could be on your side, it could be an internet thing, but typically you have to go out and come back in. Um, I wish it wasn't that way, but you know, I don't know. Um, let's go to a community and see if anybody's doing a community show. Nobody's doing a community show right now. At five o'clock, somebody is doing sunrise stretching. I just uh, you know, I actually did a show on here where I talked about weight loss and and we all did this like six-week weight loss thing as we were trying to get in shape and eating better. And I talked about blood glucose levels and this and that. I've done devotionals on here and everything. I am now of the complete opinion that this stuff should get off. It's just getting the community section is just getting crazy. People doing workouts and stuff, uh it's taking it to a whole nother level. That's just my opinion. I think I think it should be you gotta be selling something. There's all these Christian, and I I I did it myself. I I regret it now. I wish I hadn't. Um, I mean, I guess I maybe, you know, help people at that time. I know I did. They were like, thank you so much. I would do prayer for people and I'd read a Bible verse and or a little, you know, story or something and talk about a topic, blah, blah, blah. And that's all wonderful and great. I have no problem being a Christian and talking about it. The issue I have is using this platform. I think people should just move over to YouTube. I mean, or wherever. I mean, if I wanted to keep doing Bible devotionals or something like that, that's where I would go. Over to YouTube. Um, I'm not too sure why they're doing it here. I think the reason I did it at the time was to get new followers. And it's been, I can easily say it's been at least eight months or something since I've done it, probably. Maybe six. But, anyways, okay, we're gonna go to food and drink. Food and drink has 560 viewers. And uh guys, if you have not been to food and drink, I highly, highly suggest you get your butts over there. It is a great and fun area. Oh my freaking oh my gosh, y'all. Okay, I'm freaking out a little bit. At the very beginning, it says candy and snacks. If you scroll down a little bit, now they have a recommended fresh and specialty food. I am not even kidding you. There is a company I have not been there. It says Box of Maine, B-O-X-O-F-M-A-I-N-E. Oh my gosh. It says starting at$1 auction on whatnot, 12 p.m. This is on, well, today is Thursday night, Friday morning, I guess. 149. I just bookmarked it. Box of Maine. And then the next one right next to it is sea salt lobster. Sea salt lobster, wholesale lobster and seafood. What the hell world are we in? You can buy lobster. Oh my god. I know I've told you guys you can buy steaks. These huge steaks. This guy had oh, what's the biggest steak? I I did this last time I talked about it. It's giant. Somebody has a premiere shop and they're selling Wisconsin cheese. 278 bookmarks at 4 p.m. today. It's E-L-N-O-R-T-E-N-O-S-N. Oh my gosh, this name. Okay, L Norton O snacks. Not the easiest name. Not sure. L Norton O snacks. But it's a cute picture and everything. I don't know if I like the name, but hey, they've got 278 people coming. Okay, and then somebody has Wagyu House H A U Z. They've got 154 people. Y'all definitely need to be going and checking that out. There's a taffy guy. The taffy guy. He's just selling taffy. He's got 7,000 followers celebration today at 5 30 a.m. I just bookmarked that. Oh my gosh, y'all have got to go. I really feel like this is an area where we all need to be shopping more. And I know it was like a few months ago that they were like, oh, the food category is going crazy. I don't know what happened, but it really did. There's cookies, there's fudge brownies. Always, always, always there's candy. There's always been candy. Um, but man, having lobster and wagyu steaks and taffy and I mean, hold on, scrolling down a little bit more to see. Some guy is making fresh small batch coffee. And I think that's pretty awesome too. These guys who go on and make their own coffee. His he's talking about it. What? He's got a video where he's talking about it. Oh, that's cute. Um, A-L-K-E Elkie My Coffee. Alkie My Coffee. I go in and I follow everybody. I'm just nice like that. I think I'm following like 16,000 people. Thank you, thank you. Okay, I'm in all kinds of stuff now. Plants, jewelry. I'm following different people. There's so many new new people. It's not even funny. Oh, okay. Let me talk about something else too. I have had two count them, two broken things from my um previous 13-hour show. Two. And I I get that I had 320 items. I get that I packed a lot, but honestly, I think that this is where I am with some of these major breakables. And I'm scared to death right now because yesterday um we sent out I had it. This is how I had it, guys. This is serious. Okay, so seriously major breakable stuff. What I typically do is I put saran wrap around the glass. Let's say it's glass that was uranium glass. I feel terrible. It was uranium glass, guys. That's the stuff that glows green. Anyways, I put saran wrap, I put tissue, I put um more saran wrap, I put paper, I put more saran wrap, I put tape, I put packing peanuts, and I put it in its own individual box. Typically, I guess I didn't do it with that one, and it got broken. So if it doesn't have packing peanuts in its own box, there is a chance that said item will get hit against something, even with all the bubble wrap after all that other stuff, it could get broken. And it did. I was like shocked. I just, and some people are saying it's a scam and that they're asking um chat GTP or whatever to show the same thing broken. But I think I don't, I don't know. I don't, I don't think that's what happened. I think it really was broken. Um, I think that yeah, but um gosh. So, anyways, the other day I had four big Pyrex. This is yesterday, four big Pyrex uh bowls. We wrapped the hell out of them and I put them in their separate boxes. And then my kid was like, Mom, these boxes are so big because you wrapped them so big, and to put them in a box, you're gonna have to put them in like an 18 by 18 by 18, and we're gonna pay tons of shipping. And I said, Hayden, I'm so scared. I'm so scared. He goes, Mom, I promise. I'll pack it tight, I'll pack it in peanuts. We won't put them all in their own individual box. It'll be okay. So I will give you an update on this one, guys, because I am scared. Capital blinking red light, neon scared. I'm hoping that I don't have any more breakup, any more things break, especially because today I'm supposed to be doing a uh show on how to pack a box. So I'm gonna do it like I always have, but this is an issue. You have something seriously, seriously breakable. Try to put it in its own box with all the stuff I'm talking about, the saran wrap, the tissue, the paper, the bubble wrap, the tape, all of it, and then packing peanuts in its own box. And I say this because it it's serious thing, and I do think, and I I don't know if it's true or not. This is just uh my theory. My theory is that I think during holidays it gets worse. And I know other people have said this too, but it we're coming up on Easter, and I don't know if it's because the workers are trying to take off, and it's just the stress of extra packages going through, you know, grandparents sending the grandkids Easter treats, or I d I don't know, but it always seems to happen around holidays, and maybe I don't know. I don't know. Just my theory, that's what I'm gonna say. Anyways, all right. So, um, okay, do I have anything else to say? So, yes, definitely pack your items good. And my show today is I think I I don't know, I'm gonna end up probably changing one of my shows. I have a show where I was gonna go out and maybe try to do like personal shopping at different different places, but I've had issues with the Wi-Fi in these stores because if stores don't have Wi-Fi, I can't make it happen. Um, I'm actually going to Navasota, Texas, to an antique store that invited me out, and I'm very excited about going to do that. However, um, they do have Wi-Fi, and I did ask that. So um going other places, it's just really hard if you don't have Wi-Fi to go out in the world. So I don't know if I'm gonna change those shows to something else, if I'm gonna try it again. You know, I know um there's a girl named Emmy Lou Who on Whatnot, and she's a personal shopper. I've talked about her before. She sells in um, what do you call it? Like a goodwill Benz place, and she pulls and she's she's kicking ass in that field. Um, but she has like that, she got permission to bring in a Wi-Fi setup thing. And when you do that, then it then it's great, no problem. So, okay, guys, I'm gonna go to a few more um places here just because I'm up and and uh doing this. There is a rocks and crystals category. I don't know if you guys are aware of that. Uh it's pretty slow right now. Ooh, can't stop, won't stop. Crystals and gym, madhouse. Somebody has 42 people in here. Let's just follow them. They're new, they only have 130 followers, 40 people in the room, reduced shipping. Oh, there's it's called Madhouse underscores minerals. If you are a uh person who's into all this kind of stuff, she's selling um like the gems and stuff, so it looks like you could make jewelry or something out of it. They're they're actually shaped and everything. I'm turning it up. See, she's got 80 m 80s music that goes by very well.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

I gotta get more of these. They are very popular.

SPEAKER_00 20:35

Somebody okay. When people go, I this is just me. You guys know I'm just being honest and up front. When people say I don't have$28 to spend right now, I am just like, well, get the hell off of whatnot. Don't be on here if you don't have money to spend. Guys, get off whatnot. Do not go, you know, just try to stay away because if you're trying to save money, uh, whatnot is not the place to be. This person has only two people in there. One's me and one's her. And I'll tell you why. Nothing's happening. Oh, she's singing to herself. She's got I'm not gonna say who this is. She's got five-day shipping. Guys, if you are anywhere near four or five days shipping, I'm just gonna say a lot of people want their shipping faster, and uh, that's a really long time. It's supposed to be two days. I don't know why whatnot doesn't make that a different color or something. Um, I'm in a place called the Headspace. This guy's got 12 people in his. It's called the Headspace. He's got some nice fossils. He's just picking them up and selling them. Now I'm gonna show you something, guys. I don't even know who's still in here listening at this point. But if you want to see what they have done, you can click on the shop. Like on if you're looking at the page, their little house, you click on the little house, then you go up and you type sold. So I can see he sold 24 items, but none of them have pictures, so I can't see them. They weren't pre-listed. So that works better if you know. But I can sit here and go, okay, you sold that for 55, you sold that for 60, you sold something for 10, 11, something for 69. I can see even I don't have to be a mod to do this. Anyone can do this. I can see who. Who's got a payment pending? Um, who's buying from him? And uh, so that is another like kind of a trick for newbies. I'll just show you. If I was a newbie, okay, and we're just gonna I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to my home, and let's just say I want to start selling in the coffee and tea category, okay? I'm gonna click on coffee and tea, and then um, coffee and tea, there we go. It's thinking, well, why is it? It's being a little persnicky. I'm gonna say, okay, I'm in coffee and tea. What I could do is if there's nobody on right now, so we can't go to that category. Let's go to Y2K. Um, okay, let's say I want to sell in the Y2K category. A trick for you guys is you go in and first of all, learn who your competition is, see how they're selling items, see how they're listing items, see what they're doing in your category because that's like one of the very first things in business is to know who your competition is, how they run things, what they're selling, who's buying what. You need to know your market. Okay, so there's a place right now, cutie cottage, C-U-T-I-E cottage. They have 57 people in the room. I'm gonna just click on it. It's 90s thrifted stuff. She's showing a G Juicy Couture uh scarf. She's running it for three bucks. She's got 4.9, and she's running it. Okay, so let's just hypothetically say this is the category I'm going into, and I'm impressed by this girl. I would click on her little house, go up to the top, click on sold, and now I can see all of her buyers just saying I can see who's buying stuff and I can see what prices. So I can see right now that this one girl, I'm not gonna say who her name what her name is, she spent 47 bucks on something. So if I wanted, I could follow that girl. Do you see what I'm saying? I could scroll down and see everybody else has only spent three bucks, five bucks, whatever. Find the big spenders, the people who are going in and buying lots of clothes, and you already know that that person buys Y2K stuff. Okay, it's like if I own a grocery store and I know that you love van Nella wafers, is what they're called, Nella wafers, and I know you like Nella wafers. Well, I'm gonna make sure that my grocery store has Nella wafers. Um, in fact, yesterday, this is interesting. Yesterday, my son and I went to the grocery store, H E V. And um, I think this is crazy. They have big signs everywhere. I'm gonna look it up right now. They have big signs everywhere saying that they are out of Nido. And you guys might be like, what the hell's Nido? Nido is like highly, highly popular right now. Okay, get this. The reason we had this conversation about Nido with the managers, it's in E um D O H. D-O-H. I'm going into products right now. I guess TikTok has a lot. I'm not on TikTok. I I mean I have an account, but I've never even actually spent any time on there or listed. I don't know if I'll ever do it. I keep talking about it. People keep telling me I need to do it. I don't know. Um, but if you go to look up Nito and you're looking products on whatnot right now, I'm out of the Y2K, you'll see that people are selling this stuff for 20 bucks, 15 bucks, 11 bucks, 14 bucks. All it is is like this plasticky rubber-y, I don't know, it's it's like a rubber, and inside it has like this goo glitter stuff. And some of them glow and some of them are square, some of them are different shapes, but I guess they made it really big and they're like highly sought-after items on TikTok. Well, H E B now has signs all over the windows at each each one of the things that says we're out of needo. Okay, it's spelled N-E-E. Oh, there is no uh uh that's why. Okay, there is no dash between it. It's just N-E-E and then D-O-H. Um, and it's in different shows and it goes really, really well. It's a highly, highly sought-after product. So if you're wondering what to sell, find products like that that you know everybody wants. I personally went in there looking for Cadbury eggs, the ones like the little regular Cadbury eggs, not the ones that are the big ones with the chocolate in. We actually talked to the managers for about five minutes about marketing and how if things go on TikTok and they get sold out quickly because people go in and they buy all of it and now they're turning around and reselling it. So people are literally going into HEB. Well, they did do this. They went to HEB, they bought up all the Cadbury eggs, all of them. They have no more, they're not gonna get any more. So no more Cadbury eggs and no more Nidos. And I'm like, wow, okay, so I guess if you can get your hands on things like that that are highly sought after, that's a good thing to consider, you know, starting your can't, you know, your business with. Um, I'm sitting here looking at some of these pictures. They're all so sexualized. I mean, ever I'm in Y2K and I'm just like, man, the pictures and what they do. Okay, we're gonna quickly go over this is random, this is just gonna be a random thoughts show. Um, but I'm gonna go into holiday decor because we were just talking about it. Nobody is on right now. And this is something I'm I was gonna say the other day to you guys. Um, is that if you're still trying to figure out what category to go in, go in and see if people are on at the time that you're thinking about going on. People keep going on social media and stuff and going, when's the best time? Well, then the question is, what category are you on? What's the best time for your schedule? When do you think you should go on? But right now, I'm looking at holiday decor. It's uh 3 30 in the morning, nobody's on, nobody comes on till 3 42, and that person doesn't even have one bookmark. So we'll see if they show up. Um, and then guys, I think some of you know who this power couple is. Um, it's J Taylor6, J T A Y L O R six. They are a power couple. Um, I've I've done enough of their shows. I I know who they are. I personally don't go to those shows, um, but they have 369 people and they're doing a Halloween truckload. I'm gonna just click on it. It's at 510 this morning, and um, they have a ton and ton, tons and tons of stuff. Um, one, it's a husband and wife team. What what I just remember is they drink a lot of monsters and they give chest bumps. They like yay, high five, and they get really energetic, and a lot of people really like them. So, um, and then there's somebody called the Shifty Thrifter. I'm checking that out. Cute, cute, cute. Shifty Thrifter has holiday decor today at 7 a.m. Vintage Christmas, and then they have a little sign. Oh my gosh, y'all, it says 286 days till Christmas. Gosh dang it, 286 days to Christmas. I swear, time is just going by so fast. I don't even understand it. I don't even understand it. I am sure that the people who give me bad reviews would hate, hate, hate this episode because I'm just all over the place. And some people love it and some people hate it. You can't please everybody all the time. Okay, oh my gosh, y'all. There's a guy named Joe's vintage in the holiday decor. I'm gonna mention him. He's got 45, now 46. Um, it says 100 plus vintage ornaments. They are freaking beautiful. Oh my gosh, he did a video. You guys can take videos. I highly suggest you do. I know I should do them more often. They always get people's attention if you do a video. Um, there's another girl, Kristine's Kristen's, Kristen's vintage chaos. And she's got Blinko, Pilgrim, Finton, Carnival Glass, Primitives, Collectibles, Vintage Glass. I mean, she's got a lot. She's definitely professional. Uh, she's gonna do well here. She sold 1.7 items, two days shipping, which is is probably pretty good considering Christmas ornaments. I've sold a fair share of them. Uh, they are hard because you you've got some serious breakables there. So um, at least they're not big, but yeah, they're very, very delicate. And so you have to be very, very careful. Um, but, anyways, yeah, you guys go check out some of those. Um, okay, let's see if there's anything else. Anyone else on? Okay, so here we are. Uh, hold on. We're gonna go to books just real quick. Books. I don't know, man. Oh, nobody's on. There's only two shows on. One has two people in it, the other one has seven. That's it. I think more people can be in the books category for sure. It's kind of sad because a lot, I I that's where I started. A lot of these say they have two people, seven people, fifteen, zero, three. Um, it's very rare that you have somebody who has a ton. And I will tell you from being in this book category, this platform has certain people who like certain books. You're either gonna find your antique book people or your fantasy young adult kind of stuff, and those are the the ones that go the best. Um, there's some Christian books in here too, but like people struggle when they have kids or really any other genre. And I know because I've sold a lot of genres in here. I've sold a ton of books. Um, yeah, the people who have like kid books, like a high number for kid books would be 20 people in the room. So it's it's hard. It's it's a hard category for a lot of people. And uh here's somebody. Somebody today says they have a hundred and sixty-six books. That's crazy. That's very rare, very rare. I'll follow them. Oh, that's because they're not usually in books. That's why. So it's somebody who's a VHS collector and vintage clothing obsessor. It's B-A-H-R-U vintage, and so they're having a book show and it's got 166 bookmarks. Now, do I think they'll have 166 people in their room? Hell no, they won't, because it's like an open house. I think they'll have maybe 40 to 60 at most, and people will come and go and come and go, and you know, but they're not really in that category. So I'm interested to know how they might have just had that listed and been relisting, relisting. When I first came on whatnot, um, a friend of mine told me that that's one of her tactics is that she would just keep moving her show back and back and back at for months because people she would tell them about it and tell them about it to get more bookmarks so that it would look like a bigger show. But I did this a couple times. It's not worth my time or my energy. You know, I think at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you have nobody coming to your show or 120 people coming to your show, bookmarking it. It that that doesn't matter that much. I don't think until you get to a big number like the Jay Taylor crew or whatever, when you're getting up to the 300s or something, that obviously means you really have that many people regularly coming because you know they're doing their shows regularly. I don't think it's ever a good idea to move your shows back just for that. I think that's kind of crazy. But, anyways, um, okay, I was gonna show you the one that's doing the best in here. I'm in books, I've been scanning up and down. There's somebody, let me find her. Oh, come on, where is it? Do do do. Okay, I have totally lost it. But like I said, most of them three people, four people, six people, four people, you know. Um, I'm gonna go back to see all categories. Okay, let's see. Trading cards is kicking ass, guys. Honestly, I don't get it. I I'm not a trading card person, but they've got almost 9,000 people watching at 341 in the morning. 341 in the morning. I mean, central time, guys, but seriously, 9,000 people. Let's just look at this. I mean, in Antiques and Vintage, there's 400 people watching. This just tells you when you're on the main page, who's watching? 405 in Antiques and Vintage Trading Cards, 8.7,000 people. Man, that's a lot. That is that's insane. Bags and accessories has 2,000 people. I'm scrolling down. You guys should know this. You should go look this up. You should do this. Um, right now I'm scrolling. Video games has 107. Music has 99 viewers. Hold on, let's do hunting knives. Hunting knives has 262 viewers. Food and drink has 600. Wholesale deals has 900. But I'm telling you, man, trading cards is kicking ass. Let's just go in here and see what's going on. 7.6,000 viewers at 3 o'clock in the morning. Well, almost 4 o'clock in the morning. What on Pokemon? Like legit, y'all. Pokemon. Um, we sold our magic. Well, I sold. No, we, my kids don't. Uh, it's Magic the Gathering. I sold my Magic the Gathering cards on here in one show. I sold all of them to one guy, sent it up to like Canada or something. He bought all of them. I didn't have to mess with it. I didn't have to show them. It was awesome. It was great. I I think it was hundreds of dollars, and I just got rid of them and I was like, yay. Um, but gosh, this is amazing. If you're a card person, damn, just dang. There's a bunch of it breaks all the different cards down. Pokemon, One Piece cards, Magic of the Gathering, Dragon Ball cards, Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I'm probably butchering that. I don't know. Okay, but let's go into Pokemon because this is this is crazy to me. Uh d d- Oh my gosh, y'all. I'm just gonna say, I'm looking at it, right? And there's one, two, three, three, four premiere, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. I could keep going. Thirteen premiere sellers, fourteen. I guess Pokemon in the middle of the night is is the thing, but dang, to have, I mean, let's see who's got the most people in the room right now. Let's just check it out. Pokemon. Pokegram net. P-O-K-E-Gram, G-R-A-M net, N-E-T, has 146 people. It says it's the craziest show on whatnot. Let's click it. Wow. Okay, let's listen.

SPEAKER_01 38:03

That isn't another sending going out. Chat, make sure to set those custom bids. Don't get style. Take advantage while there's still this much stuff on the wall. Don't wait until the end. It's gonna be gone. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 38:15

Okay, I'm just for fun. I'm gonna do what I told you guys. You go to the shop and then you go up here to sold.

SPEAKER_01 38:20

I'm telling you right now.

SPEAKER_00 38:21

We're selling. Oh my freaking goodness, guys. This is this is unbelievable. This is I've never done this before. This is unbelievable. You can go up to his sold and tonight's show, he sold$2,208. 2,208 items because it's going like five seconds, 10 seconds. He's just boom, boom, boom, boom. He sold 2,208 items. I'm sitting here, I could tell you all the people.$22,$44,$39,$30,$17,$37, a giveaway,$36,$37,$43. Damn, I am in the wrong business. I wish I had any clue. I don't have a clue about Pokemon, but no wonder. Dang. 73 people are in the giveaway, and 145 people are in the room, and he is just killing it. This is really impressive. The show notes, uh, show notes says character break explanation. I'm gonna read this to you. Packs of this break, destined rivals, journey together, mega base, and phantasmal. Each auction is for a randomized character on the wheel that will determine your cards you receive from the break. We are breaking open the packs on screen for the characters. For example, if you land on a chizard and you get all the chizard cards, we do not send, just send bulk. What is insurance? And then they go on about insurance. Wow. He's I mean, they're given a matter of seconds. Look at this. I'm like, look at it, like you can see. But dang, y'all need to go look this up. He's got 4.9 stars. Once again, this is P-O-K-E-Gram G-R-A-M-Net N-E-T. Dang, I if anybody knows this guy, let him know I mentioned him in here. I'm just going through. There's a ton of them. They're all going, they're all selling. It is insane. I guess this is like Pokemon World. You know, when Whatnot got started, it was with this stuff. It's no doubt that it's kicking ass. They are real I'm in one right now. Mmm, I try not to. If somebody's under a 4.8 rating, I try not to mention them. I'm just saying. People are just move their hands are moving so fast. That is, I mean, I think that's one of the things that really keeps it from when I very first came on and I was talking about that guy who was doing such a bad job. You have to keep this you have to keep going. I mean, I know some shows I'm faster and more fun than others. I know that's the case in everything, but I think these places, these big platforms where they're selling such high volume, this is more than one person. This is this has got to be they've gotta have some help. I'm not going to places where they're cussing either.

SPEAKER_01 41:29

And they're not and they're like super rare piece.

SPEAKER_00 41:32

Okay, I'm gonna tell you who I'm at. This is K A D E E Z Z E. I'm gonna follow him. He sold 40,000 items, five-star review, one day shipping. I'm checking this profile. It says good vibes only, deals for days. Come have a good time. I got the hottest hands on whatnot. I got the hottest hands on whatnot. That's funny. He's holding up a card, he's doing a giveaway. I think I think giveaways are part of the deal over here in the Pokemon world. I feel like almost every single one of these shows is doing giveaways. He's holding the card, it's it's for a hundred bucks. I don't understand this, guys. I'm just gonna be honest. I I I'm a 54-year-old woman. I had a friend, um, my friend Jennifer, her family did Pokemon, but out of like all my friends, like she's the only one I know. Anyways, you guys go check this stuff out. All right, I think that's it. I can't I'm trying to think if there's anything else. I've got a couple shows upcoming. Um, it is Easter weekend, so I honestly don't think that there will be as much uh going on on the platform in general. Like in general, I just think people are traveling. It's not so if you're like, gee, should I get on or should I not, you know, it's up to you. But I I definitely think you'd have better luck in most of these categories, not obviously Pokemon. And if you're a Pokemon seller, yeah, I feel like you should get on all day, every day, um, and do this. Um, oh my gosh. Okay, so Christine is on. She's also known as the Hodge Podge, and I'm gonna tell you what she's doing right now. She's done this before. I think this is actually her third time. I heard about her when I very first started. I think I was in like my second or second month or something, and she came in, she rated me, and I got really excited. Um, but her name is The Hodge Podge. She is a premiere seller, she's in vintage decor, and listen to what she's doing right now, guys. She's doing her third 24-hour show. It says thousands of dollars in giveaways, 4,000 item goal, which is absolutely insane. I did a 13-hour show the other day, and I did 320 items. Okay, 323 items, okay, and I had to pack for days. I did I, you know, it was me and my one assistant. It was it was a lot, 323 items in the vintage category to do 4,000 items. I mean, I guess if they're all small items, sure. Okay, she's doing small items, things like cards. Maybe that's how she's making it happen. But I'm clicking on her right now. She's got 37 people in the giveaway, 166 people. She's let's see, she's probably that's probably how she's doing it. She chose to do 4,000 small items, and people are. For sure, bundling. This is her. I'm gonna let you listen because she's pretty cool. I mean, she's crazy, but she's cool. The Hodge Podge Place is what it's called. The T H E Hodge H O D G E and then Podge P-O-D-G-E and then place. P-L-A-C-E. Listen to her for a second, then I'm gonna get off here soon.

SPEAKER_01 44:52

He's like, I'm not out, not out till I'm out. I'll go. Number nine.

SPEAKER_00 44:55

She's got a big following. She's the first one, I think, on whatnot that did the 24-hour thing. And I think they all were telling me that that's really where she got really popular was when she did her first one.

SPEAKER_01 45:10

Alright.

SPEAKER_00 45:13

She's running cards. I mean, it's really easy to sell cigarette. The good old days cards.

unknown 45:19

Exactly. Who knew?

SPEAKER_00 45:20

I don't know what these cards are. Non-sports cards. 91.

unknown 45:26

91.

SPEAKER_00 45:27

She's on number 91 out of 4,000. When did she start? Hold on, let's go look.

unknown 45:33

I'm gonna run these two.

SPEAKER_00 45:34

Let's run right now. Let's go look at what she sold. No, she's she sold 1,464 items. Um, a lot of them. It looks like a huge majority of this is cards. Oh, yeah. Cards and stickers. I could sell 4,000 cards and stickers. I could, I mean, I could do that. I thought she was talking like regular vintage stuff. Everything I've seen so far is cards.

unknown 46:05

These two.

SPEAKER_00 46:05

Um yeah, I don't see any glass, any brass. I've scrolled for a long time. She's got a special pirate card here, a special edition card here, a singing bird whistle, little tiny things. That's pretty smart. I mean, honestly. Yeah, because I was like, how the hell is she sending glass and brass and all that? She isn't. She isn't. And I think that's the key. I'm gonna turn her down. I think that's the key factor here, too. What are these things she's selling? Honestly, they look like it says household it. I don't I don't know what these are. It doesn't say anything, it just says non-sports cards. So I guess she's just holding up different kinds of cards. She's fast, she talks a lot. People like those two things talking a lot and fast. You that'll keep you going. Um oh my gosh. Okay, I'm not gonna even mention this. I won't even go there. I see something. I'm like, not on her show. I'm on a different show now, and I just saw something in the comments. Not even gonna talk about that right now. Anyways, all right, guys. You got some of my random thoughts and just uh yeah, heard about some shows, and uh yeah, that's about it. I um don't know when I'm coming back in. I do have upcoming interviews with some couples. Um, I just have to figure out the schedule. I've got a lot of stuff going on in my personal life, and then um just trying to figure out schedules. We're working on GEDs for my homeschool boys right now, just so we can say we did them. I didn't do them with my other kids, but my husband says, you know, get that science. So uh we're doing it for that. And uh, so yeah, just being busy. I'm gonna go shopping today. I think I might go to the flea markets, my antique malls. I've sold so many items, my inventory is really low, and you've got to keep your inventory up. And it that is that is part of the work here is getting your inventory. So I've got to work on that. Um, but anyways, I hope you guys are doing good. If you have any questions or need anything, let me know. Um, I wonder what the hell I'm gonna label this. Um, middle of the night random thoughts, I guess. But um, anyways, I hope you guys are having fun, having a good day, buying and selling on whatnot. If you have any questions, this is definitely my least informative show. Maybe that's what I'll call it. Anyways, I hope you guys are having a great day and take care, and we'll talk to you later. Bye bye.
