Media request: Sellers hoovering up toys for profit

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I’m looking into the live auction site Whatnot and the way it potentially fuels impulsive spending through pressure-selling tactics — especially when parents are trying to get hold of hard-to-find toys in the run-up to Xmas. One user mentioned the impact it had on their mental health, which really struck me.

If you'd be happy to share your experiences on anything from sellers hoovering up toys to profit from scarcity, to the kind of mental health impact described above please contact [email protected].
