Upcoming Raid Train Events & More!

Welcome to SchmidtAuctions Whatnot Raid Train Info page.

If you are an ephemera seller on the Whatnot App and would like to join one of my upcoming trains please submit your seller info below at the train icon and I will be in touch when I have a spot open. Please check your Whatnot spam folder if you are not receiving messages from me. Thank you!

What to expect when joining one of my trains.... After you have signed up please schedule your show immediately to start gathering bookmarks, please promote in your upcoming lives. A week prior to the event I will start a group chat where the schedule and any special instructions will be posted. The day before the event I will pull images from your catalog to do a promotional video, please have at least a few items loaded by then. During the preshow I will go through the participating sellers catalogs to promote listings and encourage Prebids. Please be a team player and raid the next seller on time.

Follow us on Social media and the Whatnot app for promo videos and to bookmark the PRESHOWS!

Do you have an idea for a fun raid train? I am open to collaborations with other event organizers!
