Your whole sale, cataloged in one sitting
Auction houses use Gavelist to replace cataloging labor, not catalogers' judgment: bulk-upload the sale's photos, sort into lots, and get catalog-ready titles, descriptions, and condition notes for 1,000+ lots in about 10 minutes — then review and export directly to HiBid, LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, AuctionZip, and more. $0.15/lot, no percentage of sales, and your house style enforced on every line.
Catalog deadlines dictate your sale schedule — you book fewer sales than your floor could handle.
Cataloging stops being the bottleneck: description time collapses to review time, so sale cadence is set by intake, not typing.
Platform exports mean hours of reformatting spreadsheets per venue.
One click exports in HiBid, LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, AuctionZip, AuctionFlex, or Wavebid format.
Condition notes vary wildly by who cataloged the lot.
Every photo per lot is read — chips, cracks, wear, marks — and condition language follows your house conventions.
Good catalogers are hard to hire and expensive to keep on payroll for volume swings.
Your existing staff reviews instead of writes: ~2–3 hours per 1,000 lots, under 50 lots touched.
How it works
Upload the sale
Bulk-upload every photo from the sale — hundreds or thousands at once.
Sort into lots
Group photos into lots in the conveyor view; multiple photos per lot make descriptions sharper.
Review & export
AI writes the catalog in ~10 minutes; you review and push a platform-formatted export.

Does Gavelist export to my auction platform?
Yes — HiBid, LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, AuctionZip, AuctionFlex, Wavebid, and more, plus generic CSV. The catalog lands in your platform's format.
Can it keep our house's cataloging style?
Per-house voice settings control tone, length, and conventions. Every description follows your style, regardless of who's on staff that week.
How much review time should we budget?
About 2–3 hours per 1,000 lots, with fewer than 50 lots needing edits — measured across 24,756 real client lots at 99.5% acceptance.
