You could also win a card worth $10.

So that's where the chance and the excitement and the thrill really comes into play.

That is an allegation many have made.

Whatnot disputes this because they say that you always walk away with something.

Even if you're walking away with a card that's worth 25 cents, you still have something physical to show for your money.

You can get lucky, but because of the countdown, it's really hard to do research on the broader market.

By the time you've even opened your Google tab, the sale's over.

So there is not a ton of diligence that goes into purchasing on these live streams.

But that's part of the thrill.

And you could be really excited if you walk away and you type in and you find out that it's worth less.

It's just not a guarantee.

We spoke to dozens of folks who have described really...

what they call unhealthy experiences with the app.

So I spoke to this guy, his name's Sean Harding.

He's an accountant.

He was a baseball card collector as a kid, kind of got back into the hobby.

And when he got to whatnot, it really just...

metastasized into something pretty ugly and over 43 days he spent 1.4 million dollars on whatnot and not for cards that he could resell he describes it much like someone who has gambled a ton would so that's like as dire as it probably can get um

Whatnot said that this does not register as a major problem to them.

They say they look regularly at reviews on Google, on Apple, on Trustpilot, and they don't notice that addiction, gambling, or overspending, as they call it, is a massive problem.
