The auction platform for independent houses

Catalog, run and close timed online auctions under your own name. Bidding, invoices, pickup and consignor payouts run on one record, so the paperwork never piles up.

The live board for an estate sale: every lot with its countdown, high bid, reserve progress and leading paddle, and the selected lot's details beside it.

Built for

One platform

Everything a sale needs, from first lot to final payout

Replace the spreadsheet, the separate bidding site and the statement workbook with one record that carries every lot through the sale.

  • Catalog

    Import a spreadsheet. Every row is checked, and publish checks say exactly what is missing.

  • Bidding

    Proxy bids, reserves and late-bid extensions, enforced on the server, never the browser.

  • Closeout

    Invoices drafted as lots close. Card payments recorded, and pickup held for any balance.

  • Payouts

    Consignor statements built from what buyers actually paid, ready to finalize.

Run the sale

See every lot close, and act on what needs you

Start each day with what needs you

The Home screen lists what is waiting: bidders to approve, lots missing photos, invoices to send, disputes to answer. Each one has a button that does it.

The AuctionZu Home screen: high bids in live sales, money ready to invoice, and a list of what needs attention, each with a button to act on it.

Approve bidders from the keyboard

Repeat bidders show their history before you decide.

The bidder approval queue: two waiting bidders with their prior auctions and lots won, and keyboard hints for approving and denying.

A pickup desk for the line at the door

Type a paddle, take any balance, hand over the lots.

The pickup desk: a paid buyer ready for pickup and their two lots with a Hand over button.

Five stages. AuctionZu carries the record through all of them.

You make the decisions. The handoffs between stages happen on their own.
