Westminster collectors who are tired of eBay sometimes look at running their own Whatnot shows instead. Fair enough — here's exactly what that involves before you jump in.
Local Alternative: Consign From Westminster
Westminster is covered by our standard north-metro pickup service, avoiding the cost and handling risk of mailing a local collection.
See the complete Westminster consignment service details before deciding whether to run your own shows.
1. Create A Seller Account
Download the Whatnot app and set up a seller profile — you'll need to verify your identity and connect a payout method before you can go live. It's free to join.
2. Learn The Live Format
Selling live is different from listing on eBay. You're on camera, narrating condition, setting opening bids, and managing chat in real time — all while keeping the pace up so viewers don't lose interest. It takes a few shows to get comfortable.
3. Build An Audience
This is the part that takes the longest. A show with zero followers watching doesn't generate competitive bids — the live-auction pricing advantage only kicks in once you've got people actually in the room. Growing that following typically takes consistent, regular shows over months, not days.
4. Handle Fulfillment Yourself
Every card that sells is on you to pack and ship — sourcing materials, printing labels, and getting packages out reliably. It adds up fast once you're running regular shows.

Or Skip The Learning Curve
Not every collector wants to become a part-time streamer just to sell some cards. If that's you, consignment skips straight to the result — we already have the audience and the reps running shows, you just send the cards and keep up to 85% when they sell.
