Raid Trains
A rotating lineup of trusted sellers, live on Whatnot. One chat room, multiple shows, all night long.
What Is a Raid Train?
A raid train is when a group of Whatnot sellers get together and plan a schedule of back-to-back shows. Each seller gets 30 minutes to run their auction — then they "raid" the next seller on the schedule, sending their entire chat room of buyers along with them.
The result is a rolling wave of engaged buyers moving from show to show all night. For buyers, it means more great inventory and more chances to win. For sellers, it means a built-in audience of people who are already in buying mode.

8-Bit Express Raid Train
Quality sellers. $1.00 starts. All aboard.
The 8-Bit Express is one of the raid trains we take part in on Whatnot. Every seller on the train is a respected, established seller known for quality, working items. All auctions start at $1.00 — no reserves, no inflated floors. Just great retro gaming items and a community of collectors who know their stuff.
$1.00 Starts
Every single item on the 8-Bit Express starts at one dollar. No reserves, no minimums — the community decides the price.
Vetted Sellers Only
Every seller on the train is respected and established. Quality working items, honest condition grading, and no surprises when your package arrives.
One Rolling Chat Room
When a seller raids into the next show, their entire chat comes with them. You stay connected to the same community all night long.
30 Minutes Per Seller
Each seller runs a tight 30-minute show before passing the torch. Fast-paced, focused, and packed with items.
Free Giveaways
Sellers on the train give away free items throughout the show — games, accessories, consoles. No purchase necessary. Just show up and you could walk away with something.
Buyers Giveaway
At the end of each 30-minute slot, many sellers — including us — run a special giveaway just for buyers. Buy anything during the show and you're entered to win. We've given away sealed game bundles, high-value single games, full consoles, and more.
