Auction & Shipping

Last updated June 13, 2026. Rag & Rust runs Whatnot-only auctions with per-item starts and free shipping for the buyer's whole order during a show.

Where bidding happens

All bidding, prebidding, payments, taxes, order management, and buyer support for purchases happen on Whatnot. This website only previews upcoming Rag & Rust auction items and links to Whatnot.

Auction starts and prebids

Rag & Rust sets auction starts per item and prelists items for prebids when available. If a direct Whatnot item link is available, this website links straight to that item. Otherwise, it links to the Rag & Rust Whatnot profile or show page.

Shipping

During a show, Rag & Rust pays buyer shipping on auction orders. Rag & Rust uses packed weight and shipping profiles to help keep Whatnot shipping accurate.

Shipping charges, labels, tracking, bundles, adjustments, and timelines are handled under Whatnot's shipping system and policies.

Condition and secondhand items

Rag & Rust sells secondhand, vintage, storage-unit, thrifted, estate, and similar finds. Items may show age, use, wear, missing packaging, or unknown history unless stated otherwise. Please review photos, titles, live show comments, and Whatnot listing details before bidding.

Returns and order issues

Because sales happen on Whatnot, return requests, order issues, delivery questions, and buyer protection questions should be handled through Whatnot's order and support tools.
