They share random stories from Whatnot live selling adventures (shoutout to K-Way Shop) and the infamous "Popcorn Bucket Guy" at Disney. Reselling news covers Estee Lauder's lawsuit against Walmart over counterfeits, eBay's auto price reduction testing, and the 2026 Recommerce Report highlighting 89% of consumers planning to spend the same or more on pre-loved goods (with Gen Z leading at 59%).
