This Estate Sale Site Will Change The Way You Shop For Furniture
Who doesn't want a vintage pewter candelabra now and again?
Craigslist was always the place to go for a microwave or an area rug, but now that you're a semi adult who buys their own groceries (even if it's mostly frozen pizza and Cheez-Its), you deserve to start trading in your hand-me-down Ikea furniture for something a little classier.
Enter: Everything But the House.
It's an online platform that is bringing estate sales to the masses.
The site helps sellers connect with buyers across the country in search of collectibles, furniture and other household items.
Consultations are offered in 22 major cities (and surrounding areas) where specialists visit users, photograph and price their items and then post them on the auction site. The company then takes items to their site where they can sell and ship them more easily. In exchange for the service, they collect 35% of the selling price.
ETBTH is particularly useful for families who are working to sort through a loved one's belongings, or others looking to scale down.
And for buyers, the process couldn't be easier -- they sort all items into categories for easy browsing
You can also search through certain seller's offerings or selling city for easy pick up.
The bidding process is simple once you've created an account
And the site even offers a handy shipping estimator so you can factor in the added cost when bidding.
And with affordable offerings on antique victorian furniture and candelabras, ETBH will help you bring your home up to snuff in no time.
I personally bookmarked the Books tab and will be furnishing my currently non-existent library with beautiful vintage books starting immediately.
