The problem it solves
It addresses the issue of small estate sales not attracting enough buyers, by combining multiple estates into one event, thus increasing visibility and sales opportunities for sellers.
How it makes money
Commission-based from sales, where a percentage is taken from the total sales made during the event. Could also include entry fees for exclusive preview days.
Skills you need
Logistics management, event planning, marketing, customer service, and basic knowledge of auction and sales processes.
The market, and why this works now
Facebook's Marketplace feature allows users to list and browse items locally, making it an effective platform for promoting estate sale aggregation events. A viable first-revenue move is to create a targeted Facebook event page for each sale, charging sellers a commission based on the total sales made during the event. In the first year, the founder may struggle with the logistics of coordinating multiple estates, which can lead to higher operational costs and potential delays in sales processing.
