Creating Projects for Estate Sales and Garage Sales
How to organize items into projects — estate sales, garage sales, and other group sales.
Projects let you organize related items into a group — perfect for estate sales, garage sales, downsizing projects, or any situation where you are selling multiple items together. Here is how to create and manage projects.
What is a Project? A project is a container that groups items together under a common name. For example, "Grandma Dorothy Estate Sale" or "Spring Garage Cleanout." Projects give you a single place to track progress across all the items in that sale.
How to Create a Project:
- Go to your Dashboard. You will see a "Projects" section below your items.
- Click "+ New Project" to create a new one.
- Give your project a name that describes the sale. This name will appear on your public sale page if you make it public.
- Add a description with any relevant details — dates, location, backstory. For estate sales, a brief note about the person's life and the types of items being sold adds a personal touch that buyers appreciate.
- Start adding items to the project. You can add existing items from your inventory or create new items directly within the project.
How Projects Help You:
Progress Tracking: The project page shows a progress bar — how many items have been analyzed, listed, sold, and completed out of the total. This gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
Bulk Actions: Projects let you perform actions on multiple items at once. Change all Draft items to Listed, run AI analysis on all unanalyzed items, or adjust pricing across the board.
Public Sale Pages: When you make a project public, it gets its own URL that you can share. Buyers can browse all the items in the project on one page, making it easy to find what they want.
Financial Summary: Each project page shows total estimated value, total sold so far, and projected revenue. This is especially helpful for estate executors who need to report to beneficiaries.
Tip: For estate sales, create the project first and add items as you photograph them room by room. This keeps everything organized and lets you track progress from the start.
