We’re looking forward to getting to work on your sale! Within the next two business days, an EBTH Project
Manager (PM) will be in touch regarding next steps for organizing and packing the items in your home for
shipment to our EBTH Processing Facility. Processing your items remotely makes our process quick and efficient
by reducing the amount of time we need to spend in your home.
Your PM will be your dedicated estate sale expert and main point of contact throughout the sale, so please direct
any communication or questions to them. They will also oversee all staff working in your home.
Your PM will be in touch shortly about the following details:
Your availability and schedule during the process
A list of all contractors that will be in or around the property during the sale process
Contact information for your Realtor if the home is on the market
Any information or items necessary for access to the property if you will not be
present (i.e. keys, codes, garage door openers)

POST SALE

Below is a general overview of the key milestones in the EBTH process. You will receive an email with the exact timeline
for your sale from your PM. You will also receive regular email updates so that you may track the progress of your sale.
ESTATE SALE SPECIALISTS ARRIVE: Your PM, expert EBTH catalogers and trained photographers will come
to your home to group, inventory, prep, photograph, and pack items for shipment. Photographs will be taken
of any large items that will not be transported to an EBTH Processing Facility. If there are pieces not fit for sale,
we can arrange for donation and trash removal.
THE SHIPPING CONTAINER ARRIVES: The best-in-class shipping container that will transport your items to
an EBTH processing facility will be delivered to a designated spot outside of your home. It will be locked and
monitored by our staff.
THE LOADING CREW ARRIVES: Professional movers will load all items that will be shipped to the EBTH
Processing Facility. Large furniture items will remain in your home for the duration of your sale.
YOUR ITEMS ARRIVE AT THE EBTH PROCESSING FACILITY: Our streamlined process allows your pieces to
be photographed, tagged, researched and authenticated as quickly and carefully as possible. If at any time an
item is deemed unlistable, or damaged in transit, the EBTH Processing Facility will notify you and provide an
itemized list for your records.
YOUR ITEMS ARE SORTED: Since our experienced team knows how to position your items on EBTH.com for
optimal results, this may mean splitting up your pieces into different EBTH sales, and go-live dates may vary.
Once this process is complete, you will receive an email from your PM with confirmed timing for the start and
end dates of your sale.
YOUR SALE GOES LIVE: Your items are live on EBTH.com for up to 7 days. Bidding starts at a minimum bid of
$1, which encourages engagement from a global audience. The more people engaged with your sale, the more
value you’ll see!
THE SALE ENDS: The final 24 hours typically account for 90% of sale revenue! All bids are final and we take
care of collecting payment.
YOUR ITEMS SHIP: The EBTH staff will manage all shipping from the EBTH Processing Facility. Once your sale
closes, your items will be ready to ship right away. Your PM will work with you to arrange for shipping or pickup
of any large items that remained in your home or at a local facility. Then, we’ll email you an itemized inventory
list of everything that sold, with final sale prices.
WE SEND YOU A CHECK: You will receive a check within 30 days of the sale’s close. If you have items in
separate sales, you will receive individual checks after each sale has ended.

During sale preparation, our skilled team will be organizing items and carefully packing them for transportation to

THIRD PARTY SERVICES:
When clearing out an estate, we often need the assistance of third party services to help with the removal of certain
items or authentication. In an effort to make the process as seamless as possible, EBTH is happy to coordinate the
third party services. Any fees associated will be deducted from the final sale net proceeds.
Potential third parties with whom EBTH may partner on your sale:
Junk Removal Experts: We receive a discounted rate from

Professional Movers: In cases where a shortened timeline is
required for processing a sale (under 45 days) there may be
additional charges incurred for professional movers to remove
all contents from the home.

end items or commonly forged autographs. The cost for
authenticating each piece (regardless of the amount of
signatures) is $15. Some special items require mailing to
JSA for a full write-up and will cost more.
