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)

Howdy Product Hunters! I'm Bobby, CTO at Everything But The House (EBTH). We're the premier estate sale marketplace. Check us out at EBTH.com or with EBTH for iPhone and iPad, and starting today, I'm excited to announce that EBTH is available on the big screen via AppleTV. I'm here with Aaron, our Mobile Product Manager. Feel free to ask us anything about EBTH, building an AppleTV app, or just let us know what you think!

Awesome platform. Great team. Smart, tech-enabled business model. Offers exceptional look at the items for sale. High quality seller and bidder experience.

Pros:

Exceptional inventory of unique finds. Phenomenal pics and descriptions. Can't lose out due to last second bids like other bidding sites.

Cons:

Browsing can be addictive. Possibly a huge time waster if you're not careful.

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.

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.

@uhlenbrock nice - thanks for the details.
