What it does
Live auctions on apps such as Whatnot suit sellers with lots of small, low-cost items. The risk is putting a huge amount of work into one big first show that few people see, or starting prices so low that you lose money, then deciding the app does not work. This skill plans the show backwards from your numbers. For a first show it starts small. For a bigger show it plans promotion over several weeks, picks anchor items that draw people in, adds a buyer-only giveaway, sets a pace, and does the sums for fees, stock, the prize and helper wages. It was built from two reseller sources and suits thrift and collectible resale. It is not a method for a branded store, and the item economics differ there.
