How to Photograph & Catalog Auction Items Fast — Conveyor Sorting Tutorial

Up top is your scoreboard - total lots, described, and reviewed. Below it, the belt shows how many photos still need a home.

A lot is just the photos of one item. Click a tile and everything up to it lights up - click the third photo, and the first three are selected.

Those photos are all one item - the gold coins. Click Create Lot, and that's lot one.

The wrench is a sub lot. Check Custom I D, type one A, select its photos, and create. Gavelist keeps your label.

Your catalog jumps to lot one oh one? Type it in the Lot number box - from here, Gavelist counts up from one oh one.

Back to the belt. The cat figurines - one lot. The next item - another. Watch the numbers climb - one oh one, one oh two.

Off by one? The up and down arrows nudge the selection a single photo at a time. Escape clears it.

Now the important one. Grab the wrong photos? Press Control Z. Gavelist undoes the last lot and hands the photos back - then you group it right.

Found a straggler for a lot you already built? Check Add to Existing Lot, type the lot number, select the photo, and it drops right in.

Every lot becomes a chip along the bottom with its number and photo count. Click one to preview exactly which photos are inside.

Need a closer look? Double-click any photo to zoom in. If a shot is a dud you can delete it here - or press Escape to close.

Work down the belt until the counter hits zero. When the last photo lands, Review Lots takes you to your catalog.

That's the whole sort - select and create, custom I Ds, renumbering mid catalog, Control Z to undo, and add to existing. Next, Gavelist writes the descriptions for you.
