My agent listed hundreds of DVDs for my first live selling show and helped during it

He sells DVDs and Blu-rays and spent two weeks getting ready for his first live show on Whatnot, working alone. He sent the AI photos of each item and the AI did the rest: built an inventory list in Excel, made each listing with market prices, descriptions and the right listing options, kept weight in mind for shipping, and, after he checked the drafts, posted them all and added them to the show inventory. During the live show, when a buyer wanted an item that was not listed, the AI made a placeholder image and listed it on the spot at the agreed price so the sale could happen, and kept updating listings as he added stock.

How it works

  1. He photographs each item and sends the photos
  2. The AI builds an Excel inventory
  3. Makes each listing with market prices, descriptions and options, watching shipping weights
  4. He reviews the drafts
  5. The AI posts them and adds them to the show list
  6. During the live show the AI lists unlisted items on the spot at the agreed price

Why it’s worth knowing

It kept working during the live show itself, listing a new item in the moment so a buyer could check out at the price they had just agreed.
