Job Type: Full-Time (Monday Thursday)

Base Pay: $16 - $19/hr Uncapped Performance Bonuses

Job Summary:

Who We Are..

Bargain Lane is a local discount retail online auction and bargain bin store built on one simple idea:

unbeatable deals every single day. With six stores across Indiana and Michigan bargain bins where diggers

are rewarded and online auctions where hunters bid and win from anywhere our inventory is always moving

always changing and always a treasure hunt.

We dont do polished. We do real. We are fast-moving hands-on and built for people who love the grind of

making something work.

What Were Building..

Bargain Lane Live is our brand-new Whatnot channel and we are launching it right now. We have a

continuous supply of inventory and a rock-solid plan to run live shows Monday through Thursday out of our

Fort Wayne warehouse.

This is a dedicated full-time role anchoring our weekday operation. What we need is the right person on

camera: someone who can move product command a room and make a viewer feel like theyre missing out if

they dont bid right now.

Please Note: This is not a content creator or influencer role. This is live sellingcloser to QVC

than Instagram closer to an auctioneer than a YouTuber. The energy is real the pace is

relentless and the results show up in the numbers every single show

The Job..

You will host live Whatnot shows alongside a show assistant who handles inventory flow behind the scenes.

Your job is to stay locked on camera for the full show5 hours 350 items non-stop auction cadence.

You will describe items fast open bids engage the chat by name celebrate wins and keep the energy from ever

flatlining.

This role runs Monday through Thursday at our Fort Wayne warehouse 11:00 AM 4:00 PM (Live

Show window). Four days a week same location same crew. You show up ready every time.

What Were Looking For

You can talk: Not just wordsyou can hold a room on camera for five hours without fading.

You perform under pressure: Slow bids dead chat awkward silenceyou lean in not away. Energy

is a choice.

Youre a closer: You dont just describe items; you sell them. Theres a difference and you feel it

instinctively.

You read a crowd fast: You know within 30 seconds what a live audience wants more of and you

pivot without being told.

Retail or customer-facing background: Cashier server sales floor baristaif youve hustled for tips

or commissions you already speak the language.

You can take feedback: Every show has a debrief. Youll hear what didnt work. People who get

defensive dont last here; people who get better do.

One thing we are NOT looking for:

Prior Whatnot experience is not requiredand frankly were cautious about hiring people who already run

their own resale channels. Well train you on the platform. What we cant train is personality pace and the

instinct to close. Bring those. Well handle the rest.
