Whatnot App for Comics - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

[@FireflyComics]

I’m a frequent buyer from Bry on Whatnot. He is a top notch seller. He is one of the few that I routinely buy from. Good deals, good books and excellent service and transparency. I can’t recommend him enough.

[@BrysComics]

Thank you so much!!

[@tchavezjr]

Whatnot is addictive. Sometimes see some good books you don’t see normally or didn’t know existed. It’s been very good

[@AmirOnzo-vp5pq]

Love the energy and info! Thank you so much!

[@ComicCollectorGeek]

I always recommend you as a good vendor. Your hard work shows in how your business has grown.

[@matthewmarquis8732]

I was just approved for a seller account today, which I applied for after watching your auction at the end of last week. Just starting this video but want to thank you in advance for your thoughtful commentary.

[@BrysComics]

Damn you should have used my Link for $200 😫

[@thizzman1991]

Really enjoy your content and found you on Whatnot a couple weeks ago! Your videos have helped me start working on a following of my own. Keep up the awesome work my man! ✊🏾

[@garywoods3196]

Thanks for all the info Bry very much appreciated.

[@RexxCollects]

Been apart of whatnot for a very long time... use to buy a bunch of pops and moved to comics. I spend money too easily on it so I have to pace myself.lol. it's actually fun and has an awesome community.

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Being the “little guy” on WhatNot does suck. Sometimes your are giving stuff away, even when it’s not the “giveaway”. I’ve been with your for years and really enjoy what you are doing. Keep grinding bro!✌🏼

[@suphiljones4609]

I love your breakdowns and opinion on most things comics. thanks bro!!

[@richardtorres5665]

Thank you for posting an honest review of your thoughts on your Whatnot experience. As a collector who has not sold anything yet, this really helps.

[@dakota11445]

Thanks for all of your knowledge for the community!

[@southerncomicgeek1626]

All great points.

[@anastacialehman9231]

Been using WhatNot as a buyer for quite a while. Experience has been positive for the most part.

[@clelandwarrenjr850]

Another amazing video as always bry. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.

[@bustouttv3454]

Been thinking about Whatnot...thanks for the info...

[@nelvis_eats1192]

well sais ! Your channel has always been honest and that's why you are so successful . Your audience gets to see themselves in you as a collector . You selflessly show people how to do it themselves .

[@monkeyideas]

great video. appreciate your candidness.

[@everydaychallenges2282]

Great information as always

[@johnrichardson8408]

Good episode thanks for the continued education info.

[@franciscomarquez3678]

Awesome insights Bry, thanks buddy.

[@usnbraden1]

Thank you for sharing your story with whatnot.

[@shawns6968]

Appreciate the info and keep up the hard work!

[@Radd_ArtandComics]

I just started whatnot as a new seller and it has been a positive experience for me , I definitely am trying to put more work into every show , and every show has gotten better , thx for your tips and support, iv followed your journey from beginning, been amazing seeing how far you've come, good luck in the future

[@BrysComics]

Thank you and good luck!

[@ketoklique9013]

Honest & valuable insight...

[@bryanbartrop5091]

Great information on the app Bry!

[@ReQuest17]

Thanks for the video. Good information here.

[@toney2817]

Outstanding content..I always look forward to your videos

[@bluelantern27]

Great thoughts man! You are completely right. If people want to make money they have to put in the effort and not expect things handed to them.

[@johnmatagrano9806]

Thank you for the heads up! I was not aware of this app. Keep up the good work sir!!!

[@d.s.comicsstuff6698]

You're doing great. Can't wait to see what next for you.

[@KrowpherBacon]

Haven’t used whatnot yet but you just peaked my interest.

[@grahammann5669]

Keep up the good work Bry

[@MalluNagaCouple]

I’ve been following you for a very long time and you consistently put out good information. You have earned the way to the top and if you are successful on WhatNot, it’s the testimony to your many years of hard work. Thanks for another great video. Leo.

[@BrysComics]

Thank you my friend!

[@jasonc9798]

Thanks for the great info.

[@doctornesneb3955]

Love your reviews! Keep up the inspiration. You’ll have your own LCS in no time.

[@bigness95]

I'm a pretty big fan of whatnot. Although I did go crazy on blind pull sells when I first found out about it.

[@michaelmaggio3414]

Amen brother!

[@billyuscategui]

Ill check it out

[@AdamRaia]

I've bought on Whatnot and enjoy it

[@davidfausel9029]

Good observations in the video Bry. Another good one!

[@bronzevillecomics2581]

I’ve been selling on whatnot for about 3 months and I’ve gotten to the point where I tend to have enough people on the room so that buyers are competing with each other for books - most sell for around FMV and occasionally a couple of folks will get FOMO and drive that price up. I’ve had a lot of success with themed auctions (X-Men, Spider-Man, Conan, etc). I also use IG to post videos of me flipping through the books that will be for sale, that’s been very successful.

[@NicksKixComics]

Super Solid advice by one of the best in the community, again.. Thanks for the consistency dude..

[@josephjones1160]

Thanks for the info

[@Notthatshaneblack]

Fantastic overview of the platform. As a user for well over a year I agree with your points as well as some of these comments. Hopefully the app will grow and allow more people to enter the selling community. 🤙🏻

[@martykollmer5763]

I'm excited for your auctions. Dropped the follow and I cant wait to get some quality books!

[@Vp-jt3vl]

Great thoughts!

[@maskedsnow2324]

Great video! Congrats on all your success

[@chadfontoura]

Only thing “bad” about your WhatNot sale today were those 2 Justice League Magic Mike homage covers. 😂😂😂

[@BrysComics]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@sinfullygoodcomics8167]

Very informative video thanks for sharing!

[@markmarshall5441]

Great video! I have e not used What Not but may have to give it a try.

[@DustinBlunt]

Great video. As a seller and as a buyer. I agree.

[@Forza_Juventus_48]

Very informative Bry.

[@MadBirdSports]

Just got into it this weekend

[@Lounge_Comics]

Let’s goooo! Thanks for the info brotha

[@crossbronxcollectibles9127]

Yea whatnot is where it’s at!!

[@johnkelsch6980]

I live in an area with limited access to comics and it is nice to go to whatnot, and bid on things at reasonable prices. Graded aren’t always accurate, but I haven’t had a bad experience yet.

[@aaronwing78]

Decided to check it out based on this Vid, and I dig it. Followed you BTW

[@donaldcleveland5300]

I saw a well-known vinyl dealer FALL APART on his first WhatNot show. What perplexed him was that he hadn't filled out international shipping and entered too high a weight for USA shipping. In other words, he made some errors, and when asked "why is this" he just LOCKED UP his brain and couldn't answer, or even speak in whole sentences.

[@low_keed6033]

I have yet to experience Whatnot, I feel I've been having an old man "get off my lawn" moment in my laggard ways in that I'm like here's another platform to follow🤦‍♂ But I'll say that's there's at least 3 other comic enthusiast/collectors/sellers I follow on IG that have been promoting their Whatnot. I give props in that I've been sure to comeback to this channel as I feel there's reliable consistency in the craft and content being provided🤙

[@kevinkowalski5030]

As a buyer on WhatNot I absolutely do not watch channels that don't list out the books they are going to be putting up in their auction. If they have their list as Comic 1, Comic 2, Comic 3... then I'm out.

[@BrysComics]

Totally understandable!

[@pziglor4786]

1 Buyer regulation that is really important - rate your experience. If they suck, make sure you rate that experience. Any seller that sends me a book in a bubble envelope will never get another dollar from me. Any seller that sends me a book outside of a bag/board, never get a penny.

[@Lithograph_Comics]

I know a lot of buyers love the excitement of a live auction, but I'm not one of them. I find live auctions more anxiety-inducing than anything. That said, I've been jumping into a couple of the sales here and there just for the experience, and I'm sure at some point I'll become comfortable with it.

[@BrysComics]

Some sellers are just plain fun to hang out with! I’ve had many belly laughs watching Skeff and the only thing I ever bought from him was “beard oil” which was actually just a way to donate money to him 😂😂

[@g-san5665]

Just signed up for the app

[@snootches]

From what I’m seeing WN has been great. I’m considering doing my own show - dollar books bundles and stuff just clear out my collection and some sort of bigger books that I’m offloading either because I’ve upgraded or putting that $$$ to a bigger key. There have been streams that I just join with no real intention of buying but are just fun to watch. The one that had the AF15 was just cool to see.

[@johnnyblaze5567]

Very informative video Bry.. Some people like pictures, videos or 'whatnot' 😉.. How about a point of view video of one of your episodes so some viewers can get a taste of the format and how it works.. Thanks Bry.

[@BrysComics]

That’s a great idea!

[@lattiedavis5450]

great content! I Like Whatnot, but still a noob at it.

[@lamarhawkins7952]

I really enjoy the Whatnot app

[@Larsen76]

I’ve only had one bad experience on whatnot. I got berated by a seller for “wasting his time” because I didn’t buy a book I’d asked to see. He started it way over what even anyone on eBay was asking. Other than that every seller has been awesome.

[@ronaldbourgeois1255]

Like your Stan lee statue in back ground.

[@00Shakes]

Loving Whatnot as a buyer, haven’t looked into becoming a seller. But its really gotten me back into buying more books and also led me to finding your channel and many other sellers. Which has been great.

[@Zenmaster1]

I was addicted to Whatnot for about six months, but have pulled back dramatically to the point I rarely participate in a show as a buyer. It hit the wallet, no doubt, but the majority of the comics presented are fillers. The condition of the comics are also a lot to be desired. What typically looks near mint ends up being VF. Condition accuracy on eBay is much more reliable.

[@MrVanillagorilla77]

I think the more I’m on Whatnot the more I understand a lot of people are there for the social experience and feel they can get more steals on the app than ebay, social media, etc. I think it make selling harder on other apps the more popular it gets.

[@GymLeaderRay]

I joined the WhatNot game late too lol

[@emilioserrano21]

I love whatnot

[@DanKerness]

Good stuff Bry. I like your honesty and appreciate the knowledge. And I love the We Live books I bought from your site! Best wishes.

[@BrysComics]

💯👍

[@robertdeveau7445]

Until there's a way I can easily look at the current auctions going on at any time of the day and know which streams will have the books I'm interested in, I will stick to my regular sources. I don't have time or patience to go through each auction one by one, and do not buy modern books which seems to be the bulk of the auctions at this moment.

[@BrysComics]

Yeah it’s not very efficient for stuff like that

[@Funhouse_Comics]

Great info🔥

[@jimchurchsr2860]

All good points you bring up - I agree I think Whatnot is a force and will be there for a long time -thanks for the info - as far as me selling I don’t think it’s a good idea for the little guy - people like you will do just fine

[@jameslang861]

Bry, thanks for the great content. I just wish you did whatnot in the evening more. I need to win some more books.

[@linalleybri]

I guess I need to check out whatnot

[@pat_m1886]

I have had a book on ebay for $6 for more than a month. Saw the same book go for $60 on a comic Tom Whatnot stream. 😄

[@Jagdosh]

Bry's Whatnot exclusive coming? Maybe not with that first email LOL

[@BrysComics]

😂😂😂😂

[@jesselynch1928]

Interesting comments. From a buyers point of view. It’s fun. But dangerous. Easy to get caught up on things and not realize how much you spend but a simple an easy solution is to write down a running total. Haven figured out how to win sudden death yet. You would think it would be easy but I find it’s not. I do appreciate the work you guys put in. I do like your channel a lot. Very cool stuff, good commentary, you treat people with respect which is very important to me.

[@HemiMichael]

I've seen so many sellers barely making sales! Then I've seen comics going for hundreds of dollars that a new series that not big. This last comic con I wasn't big on a lot sales on whatnot! The first weekend I spent hundreds of dollars over a few sellers. Had one seller keep putting it off for almost 2 weeks. She found it the 15th day!! Mailed it out! But whatnot gave me my money back! I just got my last order from whatnot! I'm done for a while!!

[@charlesupshaw6132]

You're the best

[@Nitewolf1976]

Love What Not! Ive been a small seller on there since May this year. I do it as a side hobby outside my normal work. I just run on Sundays early but even as a small seller i really enjoy the community and the repeat buyers i get.

[@seankandalis3140]

Just got approved myself to sell. Super excited to do it regardless of the downsides…to have such a great opportunity, I am humbled. Even if I can only use this platform to fund this great hobby, I think it’s a win win.

[@denisgoupil7712]

Love that Doctor Doom book. Will love to win it

[@nore1800]

Good video Bry, i was hearing mixed reviews for the sellers on what not.

[@corso_kid]

Just got into whatnot… the more the better for me, step up your game

[@imperialmerchant7770]

Congrats on your success👏

[@crzdcolombian]

I agree with most of what you said. I saw you and Erod getting murdered on it. You own a store a lot of local shops near me have left the platform because of them getting killed on it. It’s lot of giveaways or steals to “buy followers”. As a person who uses the hobby to pay for itself. I can’t afford to get murdered for 2 months to get 1k followed to get 50-60 people to show up on a show. I use whatnot to buy slabs or big books and then just flip it on eBay for 2-3x the money. Even a bigger company like Torepedo comics when they started I bought 50-60 slabs from them for $30-60 for signed cgc books. Sold them 200-350 on eBay.

[@carsonsully3294]

I’m new to whatnot but I’ve enjoyed the few shows I’ve gone to ..you can definitely find some good deals ..I got kinda screwed on a mystery box show though

[@littlekoalas6174]

Bry, dude that's like saying no I don't want to invest in Microsoft or Google. I guess you've learned from your mistake,we all make them. What Not is just gonna get bigger. I'll reach out to you on What Not. Great video Bry 👍

[@leeniren3706]

The biggest challenge with Whatnot is that if you put an expensive book up at a starting bid of one dollar and only one person bids You could be out lots of money

[@JC_COMICSANDCOLLECTIBLES]

As a day 1 seller. I feel for new sellers. Very hard to have success unless you're already established in the IG or YT community. The App feels oversaturated and im a seller with 10k+ followers across all social media.. The App itself, the experience, is great tho. I'll gladly pay a fee for the convenience on the backend. Whatnot is great and I can def see it being around for a while. Like most apps it has its pros and cons but the pros def outweigh the cons for me at this point.

[@BrysComics]

Totally agree and congrats on your success!

[@jcold007]

I totally agree with your analysis man. I enjoy using the app, and I am dabbling on selling on the platform.. My initial drive to get on is to get rid of my raw books I don’t really want or need anymore.. Now I’m using it as a avenue to grow my comic hobby in both selling and buying. Being very organized and expressing full transparency are factors I am noticing that are producing positive results for me.

[@BrysComics]

👍💯

[@SR-rx4pk]

Some books come to you in not great condition. If you watch Ebay while buying can help.

[@magkneetoe8959]

I like whatnot alot. I have snagged alot of books for some great deals
