Turn slow floor space into weekly online auctions. List 100 pieces in a morning, run a 4-day timed sale, schedule local pickup — on your own branded site, with zero marketplace commission.
No credit card required.
From floor-tag chaos to weekly online auctions in a single afternoon.
Your warehouse is full. The walnut credenza has been sitting for six weeks. Your consignors keep asking why their sofa hasn't sold. You post every piece on Facebook Marketplace, answer 40 "is this still available?" messages a day, meet three no-shows in the parking lot, and eventually sell the credenza for half what it's worth to the one buyer who actually showed up.
Selling Lane flips the model. One weekly online auction. Real competitive bidding. Buyers who've already agreed to your pickup terms. Flat fee $995/month or $9,995/year — one decent sofa pays the week.
Nobody ships a 9-foot sectional. Selling Lane handles local-pickup auctions natively: auto-generated pickup windows, signed buyer acknowledgment of pickup terms, warehouse load-out scheduling tools. No more endless texts about "when can I grab it?"
Every sofa, every dresser, every dining set is one-of-one. Generic auction software assumes volume of the same SKU. Selling Lane's bulk upload handles 100 unique pieces at a time — photos matched by filename, categories auto-suggested, dimensions and materials fielded.
Consignment math is brutal on a spreadsheet: hammer minus commission, minus restoration, minus storage, minus a pickup fee, times 40 consignors this week. Selling Lane runs per-consignor settlement statements automatically with custom split rules.
Local pickup logistics, bulk single-piece catalog entry, and per-consignor settlement — built into the platform.
Boutique reseller. 4,000 sq ft warehouse. Mix of mid-century, industrial, farmhouse. Weekly auction, Thursday open to Monday close, Tuesday/Wednesday pickup.
Staff photographs new arrivals in a dedicated corner with a backdrop. Each piece gets 6–12 photos (front, 3/4, detail, scale reference, marks, flaws). Dimensions go into a shared spreadsheet. Export to CSV, drop into Selling Lane, done.
Set reserve per lot or use auto-calculated floor based on consignor agreement. Attach pickup terms, warehouse hours, and fine print to the auction. Buyers acknowledge pickup at registration — no after-the-sale surprises.
Your branded site goes live. Bidders register once, bid on every future auction. Proxy bidding handles absentee buyers. Anti-sniping auto-extends any lot with a last-second bid. Outbid alerts by email + SMS keep bidders engaged all weekend.
Invoices fire automatically at Monday close. Buyers pay online, book a pickup window through your loadout calendar, show a QR code at the dock. Unpicked items auto-flag for second-chance offers or roll into next week's auction.
Auctions set a closing deadline and a real price. The buyer who shows up is the one who committed to your terms at checkout — not a tire-kicker.
Custom split rules per consignor: 50/50, 60/40, tiered by price band, plus deductions for restoration, storage, pickup fees. Settlement statements auto-generate at auction close. Pay consignors by ACH from the platform or export to QuickBooks.
Each consignor gets read-only access to their lots: current bid, final price, pickup status, settlement amount. Cuts your "how did my stuff do?" emails by 90%.
The mid-century collector, the restoration-project hunter, the designer sourcing for clients — tagged and segmented after a few weeks. Your next auction email hits the 200 buyers who bid last month, not a cold marketplace audience.
If you're running a used-furniture business on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or Instagram DMs — this is the upgrade.
