Scheduling & Running a Live Show on KALEKT

Your First Steps as a Live Show Seller

Running a Live Show on KALEKT puts you face-to-face with eager coin collectors ready to buy. Unlike Marketplace listings where buyers browse at leisure, Live Shows create real-time energy that drives sales through urgency and personal connection.

Before scheduling anything, complete seller verification. Upload your ID and link your bank account through Account > Seller Settings. Verification takes 24-48 hours—plan accordingly.

Ready to transform your coin inventory into live sales? Let’s schedule your show.

Scheduling Your Live Show

Choosing Your Time Slot

Navigate to Sell > Live Shows > Schedule Show. Pick your date and time strategically. Weekend evenings (7-9 PM EST) capture the most viewers. Avoid major holidays or numismatic convention dates when your audience travels.

Name your show clearly. “Morgan Dollars & Peace Dollars LIVE” beats “John’s Coin Show #47.” Buyers scan titles quickly—tell them exactly what you’re selling.

Set your show duration between 45-90 minutes. Shorter shows feel rushed. Longer shows exhaust viewers. Find your sweet spot through experience.

Configuring Show Settings

Select your primary selling format:

1. Auction: Creates bidding wars, best for rare or high-demand coins
2. Buy Now: Instant purchases, ideal for bullion or common-date coins
3. Mix both: Maximum flexibility during your show

Enable moderators by entering trusted usernames. Moderators remove disruptive viewers while you focus on selling. Experienced sellers always use at least one moderator.

Upload a compelling thumbnail. Show your best coin clearly lit against a neutral background. Skip generic logos—buyers want to see actual inventory.

Choose “Coins” as your category. Add specific tags like “Morgan Dollars,” “PCGS Graded,” or “Silver Bullion.” Tags help buyers find your show through search.

Privacy Settings

Keep your show Public unless testing equipment. Private shows generate zero organic traffic. Save private mode for practice runs with friends.

Your show is scheduled. Now let’s prepare your coins for their spotlight moment.

Preparing Your Inventory

Using the AI Scanner

KALEKT’s AI scanner speeds inventory prep dramatically. Here’s your workflow:

1. Tap the camera icon in Coin Vault
2. Center each coin in the frame
3. Let AI identify denomination and year
4. Review auto-filled details for accuracy
5. Edit grade, mint mark, or variety as needed
6. Save to your show inventory

Remember: “Pricing and other coin data are provided by third-party sources.” Always verify AI suggestions against your expertise.

Organizing Your Lineup

Group similar coins together. Run all Morgan Dollars, then all Walking Liberty Halves. Jumping between series confuses buyers and slows momentum.

Price your Buy Now items competitively. Check recent KALEKT sales and current PCGS values. Overpricing kills show energy immediately.

For auction items, set starting bids at 60-70% of expected value. Low starts attract more bidders, creating competition that often exceeds Buy Now prices.

Upload clear photos for each listing while preparing. Blurry pictures destroy buyer confidence. Show both obverse and reverse under proper lighting.

Going Live

Pre-Show Checklist

Fifteen minutes before showtime:

1. Test your internet connection (minimum 10 Mbps upload)
2. Check lighting—avoid shadows on coins
3. Clean your camera lens
4. Close unnecessary apps
5. Silence notifications
6. Have water nearby

Open your scheduled show from Seller Hub. The “Start Show” button activates five minutes early. Use this buffer to welcome early arrivals.

Starting Strong

Tap “Start Show” exactly on time. Punctuality builds trust. Greet viewers enthusiastically: “Welcome coin collectors! Thanks for joining tonight’s Morgan Dollar showcase!”

Show your best coin immediately. Hook viewers within 30 seconds or they’ll leave for another show. Save common dates for mid-show when your audience peaks.

Acknowledge viewers by username. “Great to see you, CoinHunter123!” Personal recognition keeps people watching and buying.

Managing Your Live Show

Running Auctions

Select your coin, tap “Start Auction.” Announce the coin clearly: “Next up—1921-S Morgan Dollar, PCGS MS64. Beautiful original toning!”

Set auction duration:

1. Common coins: 30-45 seconds
2. Better dates: 60-90 seconds
3. Key dates: 2-3 minutes

Watch the timer. Call out bid increments: “We’re at $150… now $175… anyone for $200?” Create excitement without appearing desperate.

Enable “Sudden Death” for fast-moving shows. This prevents last-second bid extensions, keeping your show pace energetic.

Managing Buy Now Sales

Pin Buy Now items between auctions. Say “While that auction runs, check out this 1964 Kennedy Half—pristine PR69 for just $45. First buyer wins!”

Remove sold items immediately. Nothing frustrates buyers more than trying to purchase already-sold coins.

Viewer Engagement

Answer questions quickly but concisely. “Yes, this Morgan has original mint luster” beats lengthy condition reports that bore other viewers.

Use moderator commands:

1. /announce alerts viewers to special deals
2. /slow 5 prevents chat spam
3. /hide communicates privately with moderators

Run giveaways mid-show when viewership peaks. Select a lower-value coin, tap “Giveaway,” and watch engagement soar. Winners remember generous sellers.

Advanced Show Features

Co-hosting

Invite knowledgeable friends as co-hosts. They field questions while you handle coins. Send invites through viewer usernames during your show.

Co-hosts share your screen but you control all sales. Perfect for husband-wife teams or business partners.

Show Stats Monitoring

Track performance real-time. Tap your viewer count to see:

1. Current viewers vs peak viewers
2. Total sales amount
3. Number of items sold
4. Active bidders list

Adjust strategy based on stats. Low engagement? Switch from auctions to Buy Now. Packed room? Run premium coins while attention peaks.

Ending Your Show

The Final Push

Announce “Last 10 minutes!” creating urgency. Save one spectacular coin for the finale—leave viewers wanting more.

Thank buyers by username. “Congrats SilverStacker505 on that gorgeous Peace Dollar!” Recognition encourages repeat customers.

Post-Show Promotion

Before ending, promote your next show. “Join me Thursday at 8 PM for Walking Liberty Halves!”

Use the /raid command to support fellow sellers. Type “/raid @trustedSeller” sending your viewers to their show. They’ll return the favor.

Best Practices for Success

Technical Excellence

Maintain consistent lighting throughout. Natural light changes during evening shows—use LED panels instead.

Keep coins in 2×2 holders for easy handling. Fumbling with loose coins looks unprofessional and risks drops.

Position your camera at slight downward angle. Buyers see coins clearly while you maintain eye contact.

Building Your Following

Share your show link across social media 24 hours early. KALEKT generates quick-share links automatically.

Create anticipation: “First 10 buyers get free shipping!” or “Mystery coin giveaway at 100 viewers!”

Follow successful sellers and study their techniques. What makes viewers buy from them repeatedly?

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Internet drops? Have your phone ready as backup. Restart shows within two hours to retain your audience.

Difficult viewers? Let moderators handle removals. Never argue on camera—stay professional.

Slow sales? Adjust prices real-time. “This isn’t moving at $75—next bid takes it!” Flexibility beats stubbornness.

Maximizing Your Results

Track which coins sell best during Live Shows versus Marketplace. Many sellers discover surprising patterns—proof coins might fly during shows while raw coins sell better as fixed listings.

Review your show analytics weekly. KALEKT provides detailed metrics showing peak viewing times, conversion rates, and average sale prices.

Remember: values displayed are informational and change over time. Price competitively but profitably.

Your Live Show success depends on preparation, personality, and persistence. Each show teaches valuable lessons. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your following grow.

Ready to go live? Your audience of coin collectors awaits. Schedule that first show and transform your inventory into income, one real-time sale at a time.
