We are building The Lot — a peer-to-peer marketplace inside LOT57Collect where you can buy, sell, and trade diecast cars directly with other members. No middleman. Just collectors dealing with collectors.
Full Transparency — Where Your Money Goes
Running a secure marketplace costs real money. The commission we charge covers:
Payment processing — industry-standard fees on every transaction
Buyer protection — funds held until delivery confirmed
1099 tax reporting — required for sellers earning $600+/year
You already know the problems — chargebacks from strangers, zero seller protection, buyers who ghost, people who say "I want it" and then... crickets. Every platform out there treats sellers like an afterthought.
We built The Lot to fix that. A vetted, invite-only marketplace founded by LOT57Collect VIP members — people who actually collect, actually care, and actually show up.
7 Layers of Seller Protection
1
Fraud Detection — every transaction will be scanned for suspicious activity. Stolen cards, velocity abuse, location mismatches — blocked automatically.
2
Verified Buyers Only — buyers will be verified with real identity before they can purchase. No randoms. No burner accounts. No chargebacks from strangers.
3
Trust-Based Payouts — trusted VIPs will get fast payouts. New buyers will trigger a hold period so your money is protected until delivery is confirmed.
4
Tracked Shipping on Every Order — every sale will include tracking built in. Proof of delivery recorded automatically.
5
In-App Dispute Resolution — issues go through The Lot first. Real collectors review it — not a bot, not a form.
6
Chargeback Defense Fund — if a buyer pulls a chargeback, The Lot will fight it on your behalf using transaction records and delivery confirmation.
7
Community Reputation System — your seller rating follows you inside a community that actually knows you. Your name means something here.
Bottom line: you are investing in the safest diecast marketplace ever built — BY collectors, FOR collectors. And you are one of the founders.
Sliding Commission — Sell Bigger, Pay Less
The Lot charges a simple commission on the sale price only. No hidden fees. No charges on shipping or tax — ever. The higher the sale, the lower the rate.
Rates are flat per tier — your entire order gets the rate for the total amount, not a blended/marginal rate.

Whatnot: 8% + 2.9% on total order (incl. shipping + tax) + $0.30. eBay: ~13.25% + $0.30. The Lot: commission on sale price ONLY.
Bundle bonus: Commission is calculated on your total order per seller — not per car. 3 cars at $35 each = $105 order → 10% tier instead of 12%.

Your discounts alone pay for the membership. The quarterly gift alone is worth more than a month. You are already getting way more than $19.99 of value.
Unlock The Lot
The upgrade from $19.99 to $24.99/month is not a fee increase — it is the at-cost price of running a secure marketplace.
That $5 will cover Identity Verification, Fraud Monitoring, and Secure Payouts. These cost real money per user, per month — and we pass them through at cost.
If you sell: the $5 is covered by the fees you save vs. eBay on your first 1-2 sales. After that? Pure earnings.
If you do not sell: you still get every perk above plus access to buy from verified sellers in the safest diecast marketplace ever built.
"But Whatnot does not charge a membership to sell..."
You are right — Whatnot charges $0/month. And gives you $0 in perks. No discounts. No cashback. No free gifts. No early access. No exclusive brands. No dedicated phone line. Nothing.
Here is what your LOT57 VIP membership already saves you:
10% off on ~$140/mo = $14/mo saved
3% cashback = $4.20/mo back
Quarterly gift $25+ = ~$7/mo value
Net Terms = priceless
That is over $25/month in real value — and the membership is $24.99. The perks literally pay for themselves. Whatnot gives you none of this.
The real question: should you pay $5 more on top of a membership that already pays for itself — to also unlock selling with lower fees, to verified collectors, with full protection?
Yeah. We thought so too.
You have seen the vision. Now help us build it.
