Collecting in Real Time: Toki’s Top 5 Livestream Auction Moments

Tweet

Livestream auctions are the ultimate thrill ride—bidders battling it out in real-time, and the energy is electric. Toki, the first social commerce platform for collectibles here in the Philippines, has taken this excitement to a whole new level. They've created a virtual space where collectors can not only score awesome stuff but also hang out and interact.

Here are the top 5 moments from Toki's livestream auctions that totally stole the show:

Moment 1: Bigboy Cheng’s PHP 45K Funko Pop Madness

Famous collector BigBoy Cheng auctioning the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop.

Funko Pops are all the rage, and when Bigboy Cheng dropped the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop, collectors went wild. The bids soared as fans from everywhere tried to snag this rare gem, especially since all proceeds benefited those who were affected by Typhoon Carina. The livestream bid ended with a jaw-dropping PHP 45,000 price tag, setting a new record for the most expensive item ever sold via auction on Toki.

Moment 2: The Epic 9-Hour Auction Marathon

Hubbyte Toy Store's previous livestream auction on Toki impressively ran for nine hours.

Toki’s usual auctions are about 1.5 hours, but one of Hubbyte Toy Store's shows stretched to an insane nine hours! Bidders and viewers were glued to their screens as the livestream featured everything from Demon Slayer Nendoroids to Bandai One Piece Gashapons. Just when you thought the auction was over, the audience kept on clamoring for more! Viewers would request for their toy lines and Hubbyte would comply after some lighthearted teasing. Talk about the Toki community’s passion!

Moment 3: TheMonYu’s NBA Bonanza – Over 100 Items Sold!

Toki’s livestream auction with The MonYu’s NBA collection had over 100 items sold.

NBA fans, rejoice! TheMonYu’s huge NBA memorabilia collection went under the hammer and it was a hit. More than 100 items, including cards of legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, were sold in a single livestream. TheMonYu’s haul was a major win for collectors and set a new benchmark for most items sold in a Toki auction.

Moment 4: 17 Minutes of Pure Adrenaline, Rapid-Fire Bidding

Collector BigBoy Cheng’s auction for the China Blue Funko Pop skyrocketed from P3,000 to P10,000 in just 17 minutes. 

The Big Boy Cheng China Blue Funko Pop auction further reinforced the concept of suspense in Toki’s livestream auctions. Priced at a seemingly reasonable P3,000 when the bidding commenced to ascend rapidly as the entire livestream was closely watched. The bidders were outbidding each other as the tension mounted before the final bid of P10,000 was reached, all within 17 minutes! This moment further underlined how collectible Funko Pops are in isolation when they become super exclusive and rare!

Moment 5: 500+ Viewers for Kokoy de Santos’ Debut Auction

The launch of actor Kokoy de Santos’ first livestream auction with Toki.

Toki’s auctions are already unique, but actor Kokoy de Santos’ first one is a game changer. Kokoy, an indie artist and former sticker collector turned art aficionado, drew in more than 500 viewers on various platforms. He auctioned off Funko Pop from across different lines and as a bonus, performed a snippet from a BINI dance for his engaged fans. At the end of the auction, as a thank you to all the viewers commenting during the livestream on the Toki website, he raffled off exclusive Toki x Secret Fresh t-shirts that he autographed. The auction definitely showcased Toki's commitment to foster a vibrant community and creating engaging experiences for all.

These moments are just a glimpse of the excitement Toki brings to the table. Whether it's record-breaking auctions or high-energy bidding led by influencers, Toki’s livestream auctions are always a blast. Don’t miss out—check out www.tokiasia.com and who knows, you might just score big!

“2.5 years has been an amazing journey for me because while I'm doing BIGO, I'm also studying. And I'm very proud that for the first one year and a half years of me doing BIGO, it financed my education. I’m very proud to say I just graduated marketing management as a Magna cum laude. So imagine, I used to go live at night, graveyard shift and go to school the next day without any sleep. However it was all worthwhile, you don't just work at BIGO, you also get to mingle with other people. They motivate you, they give you strength. Sometimes, kahit pagod ka na, may nanunood sayo, there's always someone watching.” Says winner (Jannah Bocatiya, bigo id: jfaye)
