MaxSold has an easy process and sells furnishings and personal property through estate sales and auctions. During the estate sale, MaxSold only needs access to your house twice. Day 1 for the cataloging and photography, and Day 11 for pickup during a professionally supervised 3-4 hour window. You can hire our team to do these on-site functions or do them yourself.
They photograph and catalog all items and keep accurate records of sales. You are then able to review the catalog and make sure that everything is accurate before the auction opens up.
The first thing that MaxSold does once the client signs the contract is start promoting the sale.
Although they send the typical e-newsletter to their core followers, every MaxSold auction attracts anywhere from 10-50% new bidders every single time. MaxSold attracts new followers through targeted social media advertising as well as posts on various classifieds sites.
The auction closes with an intense final 15 minutes. Payments are then collected from the buyers.
On Day 11, MaxSold professionally supervises a non-intrusive 3-4 hour window for buyers to pick up their orders. No money is exchanged as payment has been taken upfront.

MaxSold has a dedicated marketing team that advertises auctions on many different platforms. Some of these include online classifieds, paid Facebook ads, other social media platforms, estate sale websites, and more. MaxSold employs all the traditional tools a live auction would utilize but makes much better use of technology for targeting groups or individuals with the message. Because the event is a week or two long, MaxSold can watch what items require more attention, and update the marketing strategy as needed. MaxSold also has a permanent registration of tens of thousands of local buyers, all accessible by email, ready to view your items online.
The biggest difference between seller-managed and MaxSold-managed is whether or not the seller is handling the cataloging and pickup process themselves. For seller managed auctions, the seller catalogs and photographs the items with our cataloging app and hosts the final pickup with the provided winners list after the auction closes. If you would like us to handle the entire process, it is called a MaxSold managed sale. In both cases, MaxSold helps you with the hosting of the online auction, marketing, and collection of payment.
Identify the items you wish to sell and separate them from items you wish to keep. Un-box anything that is for sale and keep the items as accessible as possible. MaxSold will do the rest.
MaxSold has special charity rates and is interested in discussing your idea to help ensure your event will be successful.
Our sell-through rate is nearly 100%. Having said that, unsold items are your responsibility. At your discretion, unsold items can be given away or sold as-is to buyers coming to pick up their paid items.
This generally depends on the size and diversity of your items. Average events have more than 200 real people bidding, and over 2000 people viewing the auction while it is online.
