About us
EBTH was born out of a passion for antiques, a desire to change the way that they’re discovered, and a commitment to providing sellers with a better alternative for selling their property. EBTH is more personal than any other online auction site and more tech savvy than an auctioneer, consignment shop, or traditional estate sale company. We have a global bidder base that can access each and every sale from the convenience of their computer, phone, or tablet.

I picked up the items sold all together 2 quilts and a tapestry remnant. They were busy and I had to get home. When I looked at my items only one quilt was hand pieced. When you say hand pieced, I take it to mean it is hand made. One quilt was hand pieced together with no backing, which one of the pictures, I could determined as much and have a quilting person that will finish it for me. The other blue checkerboard quilt was not handmade and a sewing machine was used on it and it is definitely not from the 1940s, the fabric prints are too new for 1940s. The woven tapestry remnant had stains on it with a chuck taking out of one edge. I paid a $110.00 for the 3 pieces and I felt I was taken with very little details in the description and few pictures. Here is what the ad said for what I received. I requested from EBTH either that return the items for a full refund or I would like $50.00 taken off of the amount, since the the unfinished quilt I could purchase in an antique shop for $35.00 to 55.00. The sewn quilt is nothing more then dog bedding with stains on it and the tapestry remnant is useless with the stains and chuck out of the edge.

"I will address several points in this complaint. * We were never notified the chair was at their warehouse and that it would not be sold, and that we would need to pick it up. The seller had these items in storage and delivered to our facility, so it was understood that they knew what was brought to our facility. The EBTH sales representative that signed the contract with the seller had communicated to the seller on more than one occasion that this type of item would not be sold in our showroom sales, which are specifically for high end furnishings, antiques, vintage, original art, collectibles and oddities. This was more of a medical device - an upholstered recliner with a lift mechanism. The item was brought to our facility anyway. Our showroom sale model is not the same as the estate sales we conduct where the majority of the items in the home are listed and sold. This particular item was not itemized on the contract. We did sell a total of 60 items for this seller. * they sold other items at a very low price. All of the items we sell start at $1, and there are no reserves - not even for vehicles or fine art and jewelry. The sale that the majority of this seller's pieces were included in did very well and was considered to be a great success, with many items selling for more than expected. * We would like the chair returned to us in the pristine condition it was in when EBTH received it or $650.00 which is the value we have estimated from all of our research. The chair was donated to a local donation center and cannot be returned. On our site, these types of chairs sell (in an actual estate auction and not a showroom sale on consignment) anywhere from $150 to $500. With the standard 35% commission that we charge, the chair would have had to sell at around $1,000 to bring $650 to the seller. I do agree and apologize that the communication on this was a miss and also that it took much longer than it should to have get the seller the donation slip for tax purposes.The original slip was misplaced and it took some time to acquire a new one. It is my understanding that providing them with that document would be sufficient in resolving this issue, we just did not fulfill that promise in a timely manner. We did get this tax document to the seller the day before this complaint reached the EBTH Indianapolis office. I have asked the sales rep that worked with this seller to reach out in this case. We are constantly working to improve our practices and coordinate sales that are successful for our team, consignors and estate sellers alike. We have to be very particular with what we sell out of our Showroom Sales, and are working to elevate these sales each month."
