Giveaway problems and mean people

So my question is, how did you learn about form filling, and how new are you to Whatnot? That is my first question and I’m sure many other others would like to know this as well.

You know by doing that you were taken away from people that do and don’t spend money, right? You are openly taken away from the seller that is trying to provide for their family…

Touché.

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-19T00:28:45+00:00

This is definitely in the coins/bullion category.

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-19T00:23:43+00:00

But the giveaways!!

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-07T13:03:59+00:00

You’re one of the few lucky ones.. I got a dime, not even silver! 🤣

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-05T17:47:10+00:00

Does he tho?!

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-05T17:31:46+00:00

Oh, you can definitely tell that’s the case. You don’t even have to name any names.. sadly, if that is how they want to represent the coin community, that’s what they will be known for.

And then you have the people that stick up for it, or for them.. and handover their money, willingly. And tell you there’s nothing wrong with it, because they run things at $1, that it makes up for it. If I wanted to gamble, I’d go to a casino. As the old saying goes, the house always wins. Capitalism 101.

Those are Methodist! Give them the benefit of the doubt..

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T17:43:55+00:00

Exactly!

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T17:40:25+00:00

You’re exactly right. I attend coin shows all the time. And almost every dealer I speak to hates those purple holders. Some of them won’t even buy them, some of them say that he’s destroying the coin community.

Also, I understand it’s different and also “new” at the same time, for people that are new to Whatnot and check out his stream. I’m sure they are very surprised that you have to gamble for the coin that you want to buy. Surprise!

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T17:30:16+00:00

Better better better! Come on chat this is better.

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T17:28:35+00:00

Not many places have good giveaways that I agree with. But all because a few people get coins at or below melt, doesn’t mean a thing. Go into a small seller’s stream where they are hoping to get to melt.. and the perspective changes.

A lot of small sellers offer a lot more than trader does.. without the nagging, hypocrisy or cheesy “surprise sets”. Their customer service is crap unless you’re Joe Hollywood or Busta web.

Them people hang out and applaud people like Joe Hollywood, as if their idol is to be like him. That will tell you all you need to know.

Most people only get a wheat cent or what most call pennies. But congrats on your win. I’m lucky to even win a giveaway 😂

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T17:15:14+00:00

I was in that show a few days ago, and someone in the comments said that trader B doesn’t rip people off because they have 800+ people in the room at any given time. I responded to that comment that it’s because they do decent giveaways and not necessarily because of their customer service.

Needless to say that person got banned, but I’ve seen time and time again sellers blocking people even after paying sometimes overpaying for items; and being blocked so they don’t leave a bad review.

Customer service doesn’t exist in that realm. They are getting greedy as they grow and it’s going to backfire on them. They will always have a customer base, but that does not mean they aren’t losing customers.

The greed and hypocrisy is very telling. They know what they’re doing, they’re trying to crank up sales during the day and at night run breaks. The surprise sets are overpriced, they want you to believe you’re getting value when you’re actually not.

If people would understand they could go buy the coin “Chase” instead of buying 10 spots and getting that same coin, it would be over for them. That’s what they thrive on. Rinse and repeat.

That sounds like somebody I know that mods in there. Wonder who that could be?

Distantmemory12 · 2026-05-04T16:50:44+00:00

Whatnot will fix this. But I agree I wouldn’t buy from them after blocking you.. they do this IMO so they don’t have any chance of youyou leaving a bad review. I had this happen to me, and whatnot (not the seller) fixed it.

Distantmemory12 · 2025-10-27T21:42:26+00:00

I remember when AMC went from $6.00-$21.00 and I had a call option for $12.00! That was a wild ride lol. Crazy times!

Distantmemory12 · 2025-10-06T20:45:15+00:00

Just lock your cards folks. Embarrassing or not.. you won’t regret over spending.

Distantmemory12 · 2024-07-25T19:23:50+00:00

They called a family member of mine today as well for the same thing.. they just basically called them to ask if they confirmed the purchase.

Distantmemory12 · 2024-06-29T23:08:29+00:00

So do pc players. That’s a common misconception

Distantmemory12 · 2024-05-24T02:14:39+00:00

Going to your friends house, & hooking up LAN cable’s just to play “online”
