So…my aversion to hype shoes. That’s why I was kind of surprised when the folks at Whatnot reached out to me. If you don’t know what @whatnot is, it’s basically a live stream sales app that has a bit of traction in the Funkopop/Comic Book/Sportscard space. The first time I heard about Whatnot, my old boss hit me up and said ‘I’m interviewing for the CTO position for this company - do you have any ideas as to what they could do to attract the sneaker crowd?’ I looked at it and basically came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be easy - people love watching card rips, but how exciting can a sneaker unboxing video really be? The second time I heard from Whatnot, this guy reached out and asked me a similar question - ‘how could we attract sneaker sellers to whatnot?’ I said ‘I dunno, you should ask the guys who are good at selling sneakers - guys like Jaysee or Knocka or the guys at Sole Supremacy.’ And then the guy said to me ‘well, actually, we were thinking about you.’
What I hate about most sellers and buyers is they wanna sell shoes at HIGH ass prices but buy shoes at next to nothing. What's even worse are the store owners, they'll lowball people like a-holes, they'll buy them at $50 and sell them for $150 - $200. Like how you think that's gonna make me feel. Lol!
