Absolutely gorgeous pics of items for bid and fantastic descriptions. Love the buyer user experience overall. @uhlenbrock: The winning bid process is a bit different than other bidding platforms where you often lose out to a last second bidder, no? Can you talk about the tech that enables that?

@todd_henderson Thanks for the kind words, the operations folks work really hard to make every item look as great as possible. Our auction format is very traditional and is meant to mirror a live, in-person auction. Every time a bid is placed we ensure that that there are at least 5 minutes left for other bidders to get a notification and place another bid. We think this is much more fair for everyone involved.

I used to be addicted to EBTH for local estate sales but then they started sending everything up to Blue Ash, Ohio. Now if you see something in a local estate sale that should be inexpensive, you have to pay crazy shipping fees that far exceed the value of the item. The only thing you can pick up for free now is the large furniture. I used to recommend EBTH to everyone, but now I have to warn them about it since these changes. Since the makers are on here, can you explain why this change was made? It used to be great to get good deals on items when you could pick them up for free. I've been seeing a lot of things I'd be interested in having, that no one is bidding on because of the shipping costs.

@oprylamb Shipping is one of the most complicated parts of our business! Every item we sell needs to be individually packed, and the labor and materials alone can cost up to $20-$30. Even when we left items in their local markets, more than half shipped. Driving the packing and shipping costs down is a major focus for us, and was a big reason we bagan moving more items to a centralized processing facility. That change has allowed us to lower shipping fees by around 30%. Our item values have also continued to rise during this transition, resulting in higher proceeds for our sellers. Thanks for your interest, and happy bidding!

Great team, that are dedicated to providing an incredible user experience. I've never listed an estate sale, but from I've heard the EBTH team handles each sale with professionalism and reverence.

Pros:

A wide variety of items, accurately labeled and described.

Cons:

Other people may want the same item, which drives up the price (as with all auctions)

nice work. reminds me of how nasty girl started out: find crap on ebay and then take amazing photos or model the items. worked like a charm. curious to learn more about how you handle shipping for large items - including freight fees. i don’t see much obvious info around shipping fees, but perhaps i’m missing something...

@passingnotes As we list every item for sale, we also collect shipping measurements. That allows us to provide accurate quotes during the bidding process. For large items, we use a network of national blanket wrap carriers. If you’re looking at an item on the site, there is a shipping quote box on the right hand side. At the bottom there is a link to learn more about our various shipping methods.
