House of Bid
Sort the house. Sticker what sells. Stage pickup.
Crews already walk room by room with colored notes. House of Bid keeps that walk and adds a QR sticker on every sell piece so the photo becomes a lot. After the clock, only staff go into the house. Paid buyers wait at a front staging place.
01
One room at a time
Start at the door and work clockwise. Do not skip closets. A mixed pile in the hall is how lots get lost.
02
Post-it every object
Yellow sell, pink keep, green donate, blue trash. The color is the decision. Write a short name on the note if two yellows sit together.
03
QR sticker on sell pieces
Our pack, the Amazon pack when that listing is live, or a sheet you print. Stick it where a phone can see it. The code is /t/<code> until someone binds the lot.
04
Photograph in place
Do not move the object after the photo. The sticker should be in frame or on the next shot of the same piece.
05
Bind the tag to the lot
Scan from crew capture or list on Sell. A bound tag opens the lot. An unbound tag tells the scanner it is not in the catalog yet.
Post-it colors
Any four-color pad works. The legend is the process. Only yellow pieces get a QR sticker and a photograph.
Yellow · sell
Goes in the timed catalog. QR sticker + photo in place.
Pink · keep
Family keeps. Do not photograph as a lot.
Green · donate
Donation pile. Not a House of Bid lot.
Blue · trash
Discard. Not a lot.
After the sale
Pickup path — wrong lot is a refund
These people already paid. If staff hand over the wrong piece, they will want their money back. Leave every object in the section where you found it. Buyers stay at the front. Staff fetch, scan, and match the invoice.
01
Leave it in that section
The object stays in the room where you found it and photographed it. Do not pile paid lots in a hallway. Provenance is the room, the tag, and the photo — not a mixed stack.
02
Only staff walk the house
Once the sale is on pickup, buyers do not roam. They already paid. If they pick the wrong piece, they will ask for a refund and the house loses money. Staff go in. Everyone else waits at the front.
03
Stage at the front
Set one staging place at the porch, garage mouth, or first room. Staff fetch by tag, scan, and set the lot there. The buyer shows a pickup pass. The lot leaves from staging — never from a bedroom.
04
Match tag to invoice
Scan the QR. Match the paddle and the invoice line. If it is not marked, it does not leave. Guessing is how the wrong lamp goes home with the wrong person.
05
Seller says we are good, then signs
Walk the paid lots with the seller. When both sides say we are good, the seller signs the lot-complete card and leaves. House of Bid will try if something was missed. Completeness is the seller’s job before that signature.
Seller responsibility
Seller lot-complete
If a piece is missed, House of Bid will try to help. You still have to make sure each lot is complete before pickup starts. Unsigned, unmarked, or mixed piles are how refunds happen.
- We walked every paid lot.
- Each piece is marked and still in its section.
- We are good.
- Sign here.
- Then you leave. Staff run pickup from the front.
This card is an operations checklist, not legal advice.
