House of Bid
Where to post your estate sale link
A timed online estate catalog needs local eyes before the clock. House of Bid gives you paste text for Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, Craigslist yard, and printed flyers — you post; we do not auto-post where bots are banned. Our SEO helps search find our catalogs. Event is $199 once, not a percent of hammer.
What do I paste where?
On Sell, open the promote kit after you launch. Copy the short bio for Nextdoor and flyer footers. Use the longer block for Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist yard. Every block includes your catalog URL. Pickup only — no shipping cart.
Why does House of Bid not post for me on Craigslist or Facebook?
Those sites prohibit unattended posting bots in their terms. We teach you to paste instead of risking account bans. When a board offers a sanctioned official API, Creytix may post for you later. We do not scrape EstateSales.NET or log into their panels.
What does House of Bid SEO cover?
We optimize our own pages — guides, explore, estate maps — so search can find House of Bid catalogs. Off-site boards still need your link. Day-of email and push reminders nudge you to post again on preview morning and before the clock closes.
What if traffic passes 500 bidders?
Five hundred unique verified bidders are included in the Event fee. Watchers who never bid do not count. Above that, hosting overage is $20 per 1,000 extra uniques, shown before it bills, capped at $100 per Event. Viral traffic above the cap needs support review.
Questions
Do you waive the Event fee if nobody bids?
- No. The Event fee covers hosting the catalog and clock even when hammer underperforms. We never take a percentage of sales either way.
Can you list my sale on EstateSales.NET?
- Not by scraping their site. If they offer a sanctioned API we may post later. Until then, paste your House of Bid link wherever neighbors look.
