Catalogs that win consignors
Consignment houses use Gavelist at intake: photograph each consignor's items as they arrive, bulk-upload, and every lot gets a catalog-ready title, description, and condition note in minutes — one consistent voice from lot 1 to lot 1,000, at $0.15/lot with no percentage of sales. Better presentation isn't just faster cataloging; it's why the next consignor picks your house.
Consignors judge your house by how their items are presented — and inconsistent catalogs cost you the next consignment.
Every lot gets researched-quality description in your house voice, identically applied across every consignor.
Intake bottlenecks: items sit un-cataloged while staff catch up.
Catalog at the speed of photography — descriptions exist minutes after upload, per consignor or per sale.
Commission math conversations with consignors get awkward without clear numbers.
Point them at the free consignment payout calculator — both sides of the math, in the open.
Per-seat software pricing punishes seasonal consignment volume.
$0.15/lot pay-as-you-go: cost tracks your intake exactly.
