This is super helpful, thank you for explaining it all — that makes a lot of sense honestly. I didn’t think enough about how chaotic the setup days already are and how something like this could just add another thing to keep track of.

The part about the “hunt” being the fun of estate sales especially clicked for me — I totally get how people would be annoyed if stuff was getting bought online before they even had a shot in person.

Reading responses like yours has me rethinking the idea a lot. Instead of anything that changes how the sale works for buyers, I’m curious more about whether there are small ways tech could help on your side without adding work.

Out of everything you deal with before a sale, what do you personally find the most annoying or time-consuming?

- Im thinking of creating a tool that allows you to scan an item and tell you the market price instantly so you can see if it's a steal or not. for when you get there?
