House of Bid

Who runs the house

The parent house team keeps the clock, the catalog, and pickup moving. Sellers stay independent; bidders get one register and one support line.

Auction clerk

Runs the floor clock, calls lots, and records hammer prices for housed catalogs — timed and clerked sales share one register.

Stages lots at the dock or sale address, verifies condition notes, and keeps pickup windows honest for winning bidders.

Helps with registration, deposit questions, and invoice pickup — one House account works across every catalog under the roof.

Photographs, writes lot descriptions, and publishes sale schedules so each housed seller keeps their own look on sale pages.
