This would require me to first figure out what a Whatnot is.

Giveaways for watching a live stream on a workday, idk how they are getting this to promote cgc artists and etc, if'n it doesnt upload the video permanently, and even that would be after all the giveaways are taken?

I'm probably not signing up for the app to find out, but would if I was interested, a little, but not likely

So....CGC is selling CGC graded signed slabs? 

That doesn't seem right.

I believe this is strictly a giveaway. But I do agree if going forward they begin selling slabs on Whatnot, that would be very very bad

[s-man]

Think I'll skip this one...still waiting for a whatchamacallit event  

[awakeintheashes]

Anybody consider the timing when announcing something like this?

[darkstar]

Be more tone deaf. You can't. 

[BS Damutantman]

Sometimes it feels like CGC reads the boards just to spite us.

[AceHazard]

I hope this means all three of these guys are together at CGC headquarters. That would mean they would be doing their signing there as well.

Could someone explain to me the viability of Whatnot?  When it was mentioned last night it seemed interesting as a new concept.  Upon further investigation it basically seems like a Facebook livestream sale with fees. 

Why would someone do a whatnot say for GI Joe figures, when you can join the GI Joe Trader PX group which currently has over 14,000 members on Facebook and schedule a livestream sale with no fees.  

I really see Facebook these days as the future of person to person transactions, at least in certain areas of collecting.

The only learning that I got from yesterday was

Whatnot has to "approve all sellers" so it has some "accountability " presumed, and then,

Maybe that you can have a bid style

But it sure does sound like CGC.

Maybe it depends on the collectable.  I was watching a review on a certain item and the content maker said that he was going to take the previous editions of what he had and sell them on Whatnot.  I did not think anything of it really until we started discussing it on the boards.  Now that I think of it though, why would someone do that incurring fees when you can get a better price on the Facebook groups?

It's kinda like a Doodad with an added Dingdong, but kinda different.

Just a guess, but because of the amount of smarmy hucksterism that is required to sell on whatnot, people don’t want their real names associated with such activities. 
 

Better to go by Hustruck or something anonymous

I find that using your real name lends credibility to the sale in certain groups.
