Everything But the House

Real Estate Auctions, Furniture - Sales, Antiques,

About us

EVERYTHING BUT THE HOUSE grew out of the Cincinnati antiques market, where seasoned vintage sellers, Jacquie Denny and Brian Graves, kept crossing paths and trading notes about people, the pieces they collect over a lifetime and the stories those items tell. In 2007, Jacquie and Brian joined forces and started EVERYTHING BUT THE HOUSE, a full-service estate sale business with a focus on driving awareness through a web presence. In early 2008, when they felt that they had a large enough audience, they experimented with selling an entire estate online. They couldn’t believe how quickly bidding heated up. Leveraging this platform, Jacquie and Brian focused on continuously exceeding their clients’ expectations. The business grew quickly and others took notice. Brothers and entrepreneurs Andy and Jon Nielsen, along with their business partner Mike Reynolds were among those that noticed. Together, they approached the pair about the potential for EBTH’s expansion and presented a plan to Brian and Jacquie for how they could partner and make the company global, staying true to a shared vision of unparalleled service powered by revolutionary technology and a love for the thrill of the hunt. Today, EBTH.com sells furniture, jewelry, art, coins, cars, collectibles and more, in 20 cities and counting. With over 180 sales a month, EBTH is still guided by Jacquie and Brian’s belief that there’s a one-of-a-kind piece waiting inside of every house.

Description of Work: EBTH did everything to organize and photograph all the items to create and run a very successful online auction for my Father's estate. All terms and responsibilities were fair and clearly communicated throughout the process. They made a difficult and daunting process as pleasant and effortless as I can imagine it being.

Description of Work: Have purchased a variety of items through EBTH on-line auctions. Popularity of the site means, naturally, competition has increased and prices have escalated. Range of locations has also increased, which is great. | |My last purchase was of something 'sight unseen'; I bid successfully on an item based on its online description. I have stopped using the site because the item was NOT as described and is not useful to me. Buyer beware. |

Description of Work: Used the Columbus office to help sell my father's furniture and artwork through their consignment warehouse option. Individual came to Dad's house and looked over the furniture, and advised they could not take any. They reviewed the oil and water color paintings done by Mom and loaded 10 or so in the trunk of their car for an online auction "next week". the items finally went on auction in October after I kept following up on their status, and four paintings sold for a total of $2.00. For that price I would have kept them. next time it will be ebay.

Response from Everything But the House
The team at EBTH strives to satisfy all of our sellers. In our experience, art by an unlisted artist can have a very wide range of value. Since all of our bidding starts at $1 as per the seller contract, the market determines the value of an item. We wish, as you do, that your mother's art sold for more than it did, but our buyer base set the value. All we can do at this point is work to make you happy. A representative from our customer service staff will be reaching out to discuss the situation further. Sincerely, The EBTH team

Please see above.
Description of Work: I bought something from the EBTH and had it shipped from another state. No one ever contacted me to tell me my item arrived. I had to call and find out where I could pick the item up at plus once I did, I found that they had broken their piece of furniture while they shipped it. When I consulted them the offered to refund only half the shipping for the item. I found that the description they posted of the item made it sound like it was in far Bette shape than it actually was and was very disappointed once I received it. It was a chest of drawers and they didn't even bother to clean the clothes out of it. All in all I really wasn't very happy with my experience. After I wrote this email, EBTH contacted me about my issue. They offered to return my item for a omelette refund, instead we settled on just refunding the shipping. They went head and refunded some of the tax I incurred from the shipping as well. They were very professional and made it clear that my satisfaction was very important. They said they would do whatever needed to make sure I was happy. I was very impressed with their customer service.

Had all parents things to sell. Was concerned they wouldn't have a broad enough audience. but that proved untrue. Sold some things to international buyers. 30% fee seemed a bit steep - but they worked like dogs and everyone was kind, knowledgeable and professional. Great communication during a very difficult process. Delivered all that was promised and more. Really no negatives at all. I'd hire them again in a second.
Description of Work: They ran a whole house estate auction. Spent weeks going through everything and photographing, researching and organizing. Then they upload to their website and send out emails to all their clients. Held an open house. Staffed for security. Auction is online for a week. They call certain collectors to showcase special things you may have. Paid promptly.

If there were A+ ratings, these 2 men deserve it!! They took a major headache off my hands. I was moving to another city and didn't have the time to hang around to run a sale.
Description of Work: Pricing, staging, and managing the sale of contents of my home. The fees for the work they did for me was 25% of proceeds. After touring my place, we decided on the date for the sale. They handled everything after that. They consolidated all the furniture, art work, decorative accessories, gardening items, etc. etc.; priced it, advertised it, and ran the sale. They put photographs on their website. It's a very professional looking website. They were prompt about returning phone calls and very prompt about sending the proceeds along w/complete documentation.
