Mena loves the reselling community and thanks to one of our favorite YouTubers, HustleAtHomeMom, we stumbled upon Whatnot and the journey down a crazy rabbit hole began!
After using the live auctioning app for a few months now, purchasing several comics and winning a handful of giveaways, Mena and myself have compiled our top 5 Whatnot accounts that you should definitely give a follow.
Our Top 5 Whatnot Accounts to Follow
#1 ComicTraders
Steve and Kelly run the ComicTraders Whatnot account out of their store in Canada and it is definitely one of our favorite shows. In addition to a ton of giveaways, and auctions, Steve puts together the most insane “Buy It Now” comic book mystery boxes out there – I guarantee that you will never be disappointed when using the “Buy Now” feature on the mystery boxes they make almost every show.
We decided to purchase a Star Wars mystery box as our son’s room will be Mandalorian-themed! I must say their shipping and how they packaged all of the comics is top-notch.
If you are into collecting comics, ComicTraders is definitely the best Whatnot show to follow to get your hands on some amazing comic books and have a great time with the two hosts.

#2 HustleAtHomeMom
We absolutely love Ashley, HustleAtHomeMom, on YouTube and had to give her a follow on Whatnot to support her. I highly recommend following her Whatnot channel if you are into reselling as she auctions off some great deals. In addition to Whatnot you should definitely go check out her YouTube as the videos she posts are always entertaining, her husband and sidekick, T.J., is absolutely hilarious, and she finds a ton of good stuff for her reselling business.

#3 BallKapKristy
Are you looking for Card Breaks on WhatNot? BallKapKristy reached out to us and after checking her stream she has moved into our #3 spot. Our old #3 spot went to VadIsRad but she has since been banned from WhatNot so we decided to update this post with a great card breaker which is another hobby of ours, in addition to comic books. Check out Kristy with the links below and head on over to her WhatNot to catch one of her live card break streams.
#4 your_moms_comics
South Florida locals, your_moms_comics, host a comic book show on Whatnot every weekend and we always participate. Their show works like this, they have 80 “mystery” comics that go up for auction – once you win the auction they will reveal the comic book that you received after you pick a number (1-80). But that’s not all, your comic that you chose could have a “special” sticker on the back of it which adds you to one of a few drawings at the end of the show to win special slabs.
I love the interactive nature to this Whatnot show and highly recommend giving your_moms_comics a follow to see if you are lucky to win one of the prizes! Mena and I make sure we tune in every weekend as it is a great way to get the day started.
#5 BossLogic
We’ve followed BossLogic for some time now on social media and he never disappoints with the amazing artwork that he creates. Whatnot has given BossLogic the platform to sell his beautiful artwork and custom comic book remarks.
Mena actually won one of his giveaways for a custom Wonder Woman comic book remark that is super cool.
While his shows are rare, I highly recommend everyone go follow BossLogic on Whatnot to try and get your hands on some of his artwork that is auctioned off, given away, or posted in his “Buy It Now” section.

About Whatnot
Now that we covered our top 5 sellers to follow on Whatnot, let’s give you a little more insight on just how the live auction app works.
What Is Whatnot?
Whatnot is a live auction platform that is becoming increasingly popular in the comic book world but is used by resellers from all industries.
How Do I Use Whatnot?
Whatnot is currently available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store – a browser-based version is available but has limited functionality. (Example: You cannot enter giveaways from the browser-based instance of Whatnot.)
How Do You Bid on WhatNot Auctions?
Hosts of live shows on Whatnot have the option to set auctions at a specific price which more often than not is $1. From there, viewers can bid on the auctions and it will add more time to the auction timer – once the timer runs out, the person with the current bid wins the auction.
What are Sudden Death Whatnot Auctions?
A sudden death auction on Whatnot is when the host sets a specific time for the auction and it does not reset when a new bid comes in – these auctions get wild because when there is 2 seconds remaining and tons of people hit the bid button and the price skyrockets. Sudden death auctions are definitely a case of rolling the dice as you have no clue how much you will end up paying for an item.
Whatnot “Buy It Now” Section for Sellers
In addition to the live auction that Whatnot offers, sellers are able to set up items in their “Buy It Now” section which allows buyers to purchase an item directly, without having to bid on an auction.
How Do You Sell Items on Whatnot?
Sellers must apply to sell on Whatnot and show proof of inventory along with becoming verified – you must have inventory to sell on Whatnot and there is currently a waitlist.
How Do You Win Free Stuff on Whatnot?
Giveaways are put up by hosts of live auctions on Whatnot to not only give back to their followers but also gain additional followers. Typically when a giveaway is running, you must follow the host to enter the giveaway and you must be present when the giveaway winner is drawn.
