Everything But The House

What Everything But The House does

Everything But The House (EBTH) is a Cincinnati-based online estate sale marketplace founded in 2008 and operated under High Road Holdings, LLC. The company runs a full-service consignment platform where individual home consignors and estates submit items and the EBTH team handles sorting, cataloging, photography, and authentication before listing lots on a timed online auction format. Buyers, primarily individuals seeking unique pre-owned goods, bid via the website or native iOS/Android applications, with all lots starting at a $1 minimum bid. The platform currently processes over 315,000 lots per year with reported annual sales volume exceeding $100 million, spanning categories including fine art, jewelry, fashion accessories, collectibles, and antiques.

The underlying technology is an e-commerce auction marketplace with supporting digital cataloging infrastructure; the platform supports white-glove pickup at physical locations in Cincinnati-Blue Ash and Columbus-Hilliard, and integrates discovery channels across seven social media platforms. EBTH generates revenue primarily through consignment commissions and marketplace transaction fees on each sold lot, supplemented by buyer premiums and gift card sales. Notable operational signals include a partnership with Jewelers Mutual Group launching jewelry care plans in summer 2026, and high-profile estate auctions including the Matthew Perry collection in June 2026. The company has raised approximately $84.5 million across disclosed rounds between 2014 and 2016 and operates with 501-1,000 employees, suggesting a labor-intensive processing model rather than a thin-margin marketplace.
